According to the testers oovoo and tango work fine. There is the ever present banding issue, which will be annoying until they figure that out. But they are making good progress.
Also I read you have to have about 1.7mbps down in order to have a usable video conversation.

This correct. I use tango it works great you do need a certain amount of speed (about 1.5-7) to not have choppy connection. But wow it really works good. The Banding is only when you take pictures with the back camera in low light you get some red-lines in the pix, but for me this is a non issue I don't use the phone in low light so NP

direct download too?
good find bro
Works great thanks
I uploaded it to my dropbox
Thanks for the link! I've tried it and can confirm it does work on wifi at least. Does anyone know if this works on 3g/4g as well?
Also, can the OP also link to the original thread so we can give credit where credit is due?

thanks for this
thanks it works except i can't see the other person on my phone. and like others has said rear camera doesn't work.but everything else work great thanks again for this great find
video is upside down on evo 3d also theres been a update. ends in 47 instead of 45. anyone working on that?
Seems like the lag is better with the 47 version. Still no back camera. Probably because of the twin cameras and skype is not configured to work with one of the cameras..? The 47 version works 100% (front & back cameras) on the sensation 4g and many other devices.

Tango
I recommend Tango for video calls on the 3D. It works great and syncs contacts flawlessly. It even interops with iPhones.

I have used tango for a long time but it's too laggy and always has been. I've been waiting for Skype video to come to android for a while because i knew the quality would be better and my expectations have been met.

[Q] [HELP FROM ALL DEVS.] Camera low-fps issue

Hello! This is a request to all the developers for Galaxy S II. You probably already know that some Galaxy S II suffer from the problem of low-fps (stuttering) with low-light conditions. That is resolved with the firmware of the camera of the Samsung I997 (Infuse 4G), but putting this firmware, the LED flash does not work anymore. You can change the firmware?
The firmware does help is the SIEG03. Camera firmwares topic here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834&page=110
Thank you in advance if can help.
Behind SGS2's Camera: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/9
It would be great if some of devs look at this fw and changes what is problem so flash stop working
Indeed, i would be great +1
I sent a private message to Chainfire and email to Supercurio. I hope they meet!
Great thread! SC cameras are the ones that have low light framerate issue. If someone resolves the flash issue it will be great.
Is this the same thing as the low-light autofocus laggy thing?
I made a video at my friends birthday in a nightclub and it's crap! Had to delete it! Blurring and lagging every few seconds!
I know potatoman might do something about it but he's busy at uni now, I'm kinda surprised nobody has jumped on this issue. One of the big reasons I got the S2 was the camera...turns out it's not that good
Yes. Its that problem. And is laggy beacuse of some galaxy s2 camera modules have some bad firmware. The SIEGO3 fix the suttering in video but remove the led flash of the videos and we cant use it like assisted lamp for autofocus. If someone implement in the firmware, our problem is solved.
+1
It would be great! Thanks
Maybe someone who knows cyanogen can tell him to tell samsung to fix it. I mean he does work for them now

Maybe Samsung are aware of the framerate issue... they should be considering how many of us have this problem, but before they can release the firmware it proberly need to be tested ect so takes time.
Im using the infuse 4G firmware & more than happy to plod along with it, until a fix is released by either a Dev or Samsung.
I had a Galaxy S before i got the S2, so having no light in video isn't to much of a problem for me, the camera flash works which is more important, even without the pre focus light the camera still locks on 99% of the time in low light.
TBH that pre focus light of the orginal cam firmware was annoying as hell to some people, as it use to blind them before the flash kicked in lol.
Anyways im happy with having constant 30fps in either 720p or 1080p without any framerate problems.
The well-known dev's are unlikely to respond to PMs as they'd get hundreds\thousands a day, mostly from noobs, so unless they're from people they already know, I wouldn't expect a response. Plus a lot of them don't frequent XDA as it's turned into a noobfest where the "popular" devices are involved.
You could try posting over on the Cyanogen forums.
Steve (Cyanogen) is not likely to be in a position to "tell" Samsung to fix anything, and certainly not for a device that is as old as the SGS2 is now.
You could try logging a fault with Samsung themselves, they have been known to respond, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

The same for me! I don't feel a strong lack of flash, but can be useful with app. that use it like "Tiny Flashlight" etc.

Just a heads up that while I'd love to help with this, I don't experience the issue myself, so I wouldn't even be able to test if my fix would work or not. I'm also not comfortable with my code being flashed- my firmware modding capabilities are limited at best... and flashing a bad camera firmware can be irreversible.
Sorry guys, good luck finding someone else who can help though.

Anything like this possible for us? (Sensation Camera mod)

I know the sensation is fairly close to the rezound.. anyone think something like this may be possible?

I'm more excited about this mod than anything else with this phone. And that's saying a LOT.
Sent from the Speed Demon known as the Rezound
This would be amazing on our phones! I too am more excited about this mod than any other. I use my camera a lot!
If it corrects for the pops and squeaks during video recording, then that would be icing on the cake. True 30fps recording would great too. I've had pretty severe frame-rate drops during recording.
I went ahead and installed the program and it appears to work. I get larger JPG images and 1080 video at higher bitrates. A few things though. The icons at the bottom are physically lower on the screen so the text on the bottom gets cut off. The button to the gallery doesn't work from video mode but appears ok from camera mode. The effects appear to work too. This is just my preliminary findings.
I'm on CleanRom 4.1 without any of the mods.
Edit: xsnapshot, I haven't noticed the pops and squeaks since the radio update in January. I didn't notice any on the test video I took, but it was only for 10 secs so I'm not sure. I'll take a longer video later and see if I can hear the pops and squeaks.
Edit2: Not sure why you linked to an Engadget post when the original post is in XDA. Here it is so you can get the app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
I installed this yesterday and haven't had any issues with it. I have not used my Rezound camera enough to really notice a difference. I guess I should have taken a before and after pick to see if the file size changed much.
I didn't flash it. Opened the zip up and pushed each item to my phone.
I did take a picture of some clouds yesterday evening. File size was 2.62MB
Installed this tonight, my photo file sizes are huge now, though I've not seen a huge difference in 1080p video quality. I'll do some outdoor testing tomorrow, to see if there is a difference.
I'll try to post some results if I get around to it
Sent from the Speed Demon known as the Rezound
Out of curiosity... can this be undone
if you reflash a rom without it, yeah lol...
this doesn't do anything for video, btw guys..in joels rom it didn't, anyway. still recorded at around 8mbps, wouldn't ever hit above that to get even near 20...photo's seemed to work uncompressed though; they're bigger in size

Experiences with CM9?

How stable is it currently overall? I sometimes use Google+ hangouts which requires streaming video. Is this still broken? How is 4g/3g stability?
Video streaming is still broken, and bluetooth calling still broken. Otherwise, it's solid as it can be for me. Been running it exclusively for over a week and have no plans on going back.

It's hard to go back to sense after you've run CM9. It's smooth, fast, and elegant.
freezing for me on all aosp based builds. I think it's adreno driver related to whatever hardware revision I have

To be honest, it's not really something that you will be able to know without flashing CM9 on your own device. See if it works for you. We have some very talented devs that take a lot of time to make these things. The least you can do is give it a shot, and if it's not for you, then it's really easy to nandroid back to where you are.

Oh I know. I'm going to donate as soon as I officially get hired at my new job and it becomes something usable for me (will have to try to fix streaming video myself or wait on someone to look at it)

[VIDEO] Working Camera in CM9 on the HP Touchpad (Sort of)

Well, it kind of works. This is more of a teaser than anything. One bold dev, Dorregaray, has attempted to rework the whole camera from the ground up, and has released a preview build with a partially working camera. I'm sure with more time, it will be improved.
What works:
-preview, but it's 90 degrees off.
-take pictures, and they look okay.
What doesn't work:
-No video, no Skype
-Once you take photos and then leave the app, the camera crashes and stops working
-Reboots sometimes produce a blue screen that requires a hard reboot.
And before anyone asks.... NO THIS ISN'T WORKING ON CM10 JELLYBEAN!!!!
