I have been using both neobuddy's and i9000 port versions, V6 and 2.5 beta, but my ffc is not working properly.
The symptoms are:
When i open up a camera app, rear camera is just fine, but the ffc is elongated, and if i take a picture, it only saves a blank grey image and the gallery cannot open the image as well.
I tried MIUI and it was all good, but I desire ICS, thanks for neobuddy and guys doing the wonderful work! but i just wish i could make a use of my ffc.
What could i do to make it work? is it the kernel problem?
Thanks in advance for your responses!!
I noticed the exact same things too. No wonder face unlock didn't work heh.
Might be kernel prob but maybe camera files since Video record doesn't work either.

hey guys,
I rooted my friends sgs2 and couldn't get two things to work. the portable WiFi hotspot keeps getting an error when i try to click on the check-mark. the second one is the video camera doesn't work. he's running the cm7 (not nightly) is there a ROM that has a working video cam?
thanks
I'm also running CM7 (not nightly). I believe the exact rom I flashed was from this thread (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Galaxys2ATT) and the video camera works fine. I just tested to confirm, I was able to record video with both front AND back cameras.
That said, I've heard that CM7 doesn't support 1080p video recording even when the camera IS working.
Is anyone aware of an app that can record video from a ffc on the Vibrant? Something like Qik would be ideal, but Qik has never been able to see my ffc.
im pretty sure the rom has to support it for the video in the ffc to work
some roms only let u take pics with it if thats the case apps like tango or skype wont really work right with the ffc

To be clear, I am using a JPK-based rom. The camera works, front and back. Skype and Tango work, front and back. There is just no option in the video recorder app to switch the camera to the front. This is also the case in Qik.
Hey OP not related to your question, where can i get a version of Skype that will use ffc on Froyo?

I'm actually just using Skype from the Market. If that's not working for you, you might try a different ROM, or as a possible quick fix, just change your build.prop ro.product.model to GT-I9000.
There was a version that was hacked, but I don't know if it's still supported.
I have noticed that, when filming in 720p and 1080p, that the video camera has a tendency to lag when panning to the side after it has focused --> After the camera focuses, and I turn the camera to the sides or up/down, it lags for a second, creating a chopping effect (lagging).
I have stock Gingerbread installed on it (it came on it when purchasing the phone), and have not updated to stock ICS yet.
Does anyone else have this, or have noticed this problem? I'd really like to solve this mystery as soon as possible.
Thank you,

Just a suggestion:
Have you already tried to install the S2 Camera update from Samsungs Apps?
This was an update for the camera firmware of the SGS2.
If you have already installed the update, this app will show it right after the installation.
Good luck !
I just updated Samsung Apps, and am now in the program.
I guess this is a known program then, since they have put out an update for the camera...
How do I find the S2 Camera Update?
Thank you for your reply,

you can google for the same r try with Sammobile.com
Lag as you described is not firmware related as I never had it, but you can try.
Also what you can do I'd you are using micro sdcard as storage, change it to internal and check.
Unless issue is frame rates, blur when panning.
The Focal Camera from CM 10.2 and Project Nemesis can be found here.
It installed fine for me. I haven't tested it too much yet, but things seem to be working (after an initial FC I rebooted and all seems well). Woohoo, I can use photospheres now on my Rootbox!
Thanks to those who got this apk out to the masses!
EDIT: Well, taking pics with the rear camera works, switching to front and it won't take pics. PicSphere also doesn't work. Hopefully someone will figure out how to get this working.
Hello! I recently flashed CM 10.2.1 onto my Galaxy S3 (verizon), and overall I'm completely satisfied with the results. However, I'm no longer able to use the front-facing camera on any third-party apps (facebook, instagram, etc). When I try taking a picture with the front camera, it causes the phone to reboot itself. I've noticed that if I'm using the stock camera from CM 10.2, the front cam works perfectly fine. Yet, when I try using Instagram, Skype, or Camera Zoom FX, the phone is always forced to reboot once I try taking a picture. I was wondering if anyone has ever found a fix for this? Thanks in advance to anyone thay can help shed some light on my issue!
