Hey everybody. I took the plunge after following a long time and installed a ffc in my vibrant. Im running nero v3 with voodoo kernal. The mirror app works....that's about it. I need a camera app like the one in obsidien 4 that allows switching from ffc and rfc. Also I have fring installed and it still wants to use rear. In about phone....it says i9000. In root explorer...the file datapattern 420sp is there...any help would be great. The banding is minimal and just need some help on getting a camera app with switching and fring or tango to recognize front. Thanks.

Get the SGS Tools (not sure if it is in the market anymore) and install the camera update. Or you can install the i9000 camera. Pull the apk from a rom to get it. I'm running Nero V3 with voodoo also. The camera update in SGS Tools put the correct camera app on there for me.
**EDIT: or just download this - by Fr4gg0r
Modified Camera
Thanks. I got the build changed and fring and tango are working. Ill try the camera hack update from sgs now. Is the camera from sys tools the I9000 or epic..the rotation onthe epic cam was off when I installed it running obsidien 4.2.

Also...does this flash through cloxkwork? Or through holding power down to get to recovery....voodoo? Does voodoo need disabled first?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I believe this is the camera from the i9000, although I may be wrong.
If you use the SGS tools there is no need to disable vodoo or anything. It installs right through the sgs tools app, just like installing an .apk
Has it been fixed to allow you to record in 720p?
No it has not. It will force a reboot if you try.

I have been trying to take a picture with the front facing camera with the 2.1 software and it seems like the option to switch to it has been removed? Can anyone else confirm this?

if you're referring to the UK leak, yes, its not there.
Although its not in the camera app, its still suported via fring, so at least its api's work in 2.1. You should try the Evo 2.1 camera apk

Just to clarify. The Evo 2.1 camera.apk can be installed on the Dell Streak? What is the process? Would I need to uninstall anything on the Streak first.
Do you think the Captivates camera.apk will work also.
I would really like to get a better camera.apk on the Streak. I especially like the ability to touch the screen to focus

Can someone confirm that the Evo 2.1 camera.apk be installed on the Dell Streak?
I've tried several evo camera apks and had no luck. Either it would not install or could not launch app. Pretty sure i tried a different htc camera apk and was still a no go.
Same here...
It is sooo frustrating to have this great piece of technolgy integration from Dell completely let down by the software part...
Hopefully, the Android community will rectify this but my god...
Michael Dell, your Android dev team SUCKS big time!!!!
okay, so i've been flashing these deadhorse kernels from eugene, and everything seems to be working but HD recording.....till i realized i have the hacked camera app from SGS tools.
So i took the stock camera app from KA6, and HD recording works!!!
so i'm trying to figure out if it's possible to have both these cameras on the phone at the same time....anytime i try to just install the apk, it tries to replace the current one.
any help on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks!!
i can provide all apk's for this....both camera.apk's and both camerafirmware.apk's
Anyone know how to do this?

I was looking at how yahoo video plug-in uses the HTC front camera and found out that it calls “com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera. getFrontFacingCamera();” to load it. So I baksmali-ed the com.motorola.hardware.frontcamera.jar and changed it to look like the HTC version so YM can use it.
ADB Method (YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO APPLY IT):
1. Extract YMFrontCamADB.zip
2. Connect your device in Debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging)
3. Run YMFrontCam.bat and follow the instructions.
4. Close the process for YM plug-in.
5. Make a video call.
YMFrontCamCWM.zip and YMFrontCWMCamRemover.zip can be used for CWM un/installation
NON-ATRIX devices should use the ADB method as the CWM method is specific for Atrix only. If the ADB method doesn't work, download the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.zip, extract com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar, copy it to your /system/framework and change the permission to 644
2011-05-31 - Updated to support more devices.
Gingerbread devices (using the standard 2.3 front camera API)
Motorola
Samsung
LG
Dell Streak and Streak 7 (Untested)
Huawei (Untested)
Other htc devices without the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar (Untested)
Feel free to edit the source and make it work on your device
2011-05-31 - Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip script to fix mount command on other devices. The new script requires busybox (rooted devices should have it anyway)
2011-06-11 -Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip and com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar to fix the exception in integer "Parameters" values (samsung, dell, lg). Source code FrontFacingCamera.java.zip is updated as well. CWM method NOT updated.
2011-07-03 - After more than 2 months of hiding and distributing the APKs in secrecy, I’m now attaching them in here. I was advised not to post modifications for Google Market APKs here and so I did but as I can see in other threads, everything is allowed.
For a fix that does not need root and ADB stuffs, you can download the APK versions. First you have to uninstall the YM and YM plug-in from the market, install yahoo.im.apk (a must) and choose one among the plugins that suits best your need.
There are 4 versions of the plug-in I made. Some users reported that their devices got the wrong camera orientation (side-ways, or flipped image) and so I made 3 additional versions that add 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise to the orientation. It might or might not show the correct orientation on the android device but the transmitted image should be correct. Another thing is that, FFC and back cam doesn’t always have the same orientation so fixing the other might break the orientation of the other; so choose which cam you prefer to use.
Awesome! Haven't tried it out yet because I'm not home, but sure hope it works. I wonder if it works with other apps... any chance of looking at Vtok and Ovoo?
EDIT: Confirmed, it works with Yahoo. I used the com.htc.hardware.twinCameDevice.zip method and not the CWM flash, but have no reason to imagine that the other method wouldn't work as well. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Doesn't seem to work. I used the cwm zip to apply the update. I can see the flip camera icon but it never switches to front camera.
Update: removed and applied again through cwm, works like charm! Thanks for sharing.

I have a modified version of ooVoo that works with the atrix's front camera but I'm not sure if I can post it here or not.
I believe though that ooVoo will very soon release the version that supports the atrix and the front camera. Their code actually includes the loader class for the front camera but for some reason, it is not yet included in loader array. Maybe it is still under testing.

What version are you using? I'm using the french 4.2.1 sbf (bell). Maybe it's just a versioning issue. I'll make one tonight (GMT - 5) that will actually load and use the motorola library to avoid versioning issues.

You have to mount /system as read/write. If you don't know how, it should be easy to find out on google.

I remember seeing that Skype with video was out for the thunderbolt, any way we could make that work using a similar method?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
According to what a few other people have said, that app was coded with a lot of lines of code specific to that device... so it would practically be quicker to start from scratch.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Do you believe that this will work with the Xoom as well seeing how they have the same camera drivers?
It's sure worth a try, I bet so. If not, the same method (renaming the default camera framework file to the htc version) would work. Try it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've updated it and changed the code to simply load and use the existing driver from motorola. It should be easy now to port to other devices.
Works perfect

not working for me..tried both ways. i am rooted..gb3.5...
In my first post I posted when I joined this website I asked about a camera app for cm7 that was like the stock vibrant camera app. I now want to know, after some info given to me in that post, what are the best camera apps that can be flashed, by rom manager or odin, and are compatible with cm7 that closely resemble or are nicer looking than the stock 2.1 camera. I think my biggets thing is just that the 2.1 cam looks like it takes the whole phones screen rather than cm7 which has a black line at the bottom which makes the camera look smaller. Again any and all help welcome and thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Actually you could really just take any 3rd party camera app and push the .apk to the directory of system/app/ with root explorer. The app will then become a system app. You don't neccesarily have to flash it via Odin or CWR.
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
Ok thanks so my new question is if I was to rip the camera.apk app with root explorer and replace it in cm7 would I keep the 2.1 camera? I know you can do it to remove or add apks to roms but I didnt know if the firmware versions would be an issue (ex 2.1 cam on 2.3.7)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Although it should work, I'm not 100% as I've never tried it. So make sure you're play it safe and do a backup... I would suggest you do a backup in CWR (or a Nandroid Backup) just in case as you can never be to safe. Plus I wouldn't delete the 2.1 camera.apk, just move it to another location like to your sd card. This way if the CM7 camera doesn't work you can just switch it back with the original one.
Ok thanks for the info im actually gonna try it sometime today ill be sure to post if it works or not

Alright, hope everything works out for you.
Well flashing the apk from 2.1 on cm7 or the miui rom(forgot which one) didnt work I liked the miui one but it didnt have an app drawer and the controls were a little bit weird but I like some of the stuff. I guess the mods can close this now I figure I cant flash the old camera anyone who reads this and finds out how to do please pm me. Thanks for the help you guys

same here, it force closes after using whatever camera app (I used stock camera and Camera 360, both resulted to FCs). I'm suspecting that it's a ROM compatibility issue. Haven't tried it yet. I'm on MotoGinger II.
Anyone else having same problems on other ROMs?
