http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERiNkdJY2pBQnQxWF9sYUpTcGo0S3c6MA
the page here is talking about fring with video calls.....can any one confirm this..
You had better ask McKebapp, he has pulled his X10 apart
But I doubt it.....
Bloke
Noooooooooooo!
No, there is no front camera!! No No No!
but the other 2 devices has front cameras........and i dont understand y this device is added to it.......
X10 has just one cam! I've tried and frings uses that...so no front camera!
i will get back my x10 tomorrow....will test it and confirm.......
i hope its true and i should be the first one to tell u all
i have got an email from early access team of fring with a test fring apk.....
i dont have the phone with me right now....tomorrow evening i will test it when i get my phone back.....
Hello,
I’m glad to introduce: fring 2.1.0.17 for Android.
Before you install the attached version, please uninstall the current one and wait 2-3 minutes before you connect again.
This version includes the following features:
- Video Calls for more Android devices (Sony Ericsson X10, Dell Streak).
- fring should be running smoother on Froyo.
- Some other improvements.
We'll be glad to get your impressions, comments, suggestions, bug reports etc.
Thanks,
Tom
Early-Access team @fring.

I've tested it. I can confirm no front camera. Just uses the main camera, which is kinda useless.

No Guys, I'm sorry...
There is no front cam installed.
Seach for my "Upskirt Shots" Thread.
If you find a frontcam, please post the lottery numbers for coming Saturday

i m also confusing with this. arent we all knew that x10 have no front camera since they first day published?
I saw a video by CoolSmartPhone.com on youtube with a white x19 with a front facing camera. S o n y Ericsson Xperia X10 - The on-screen keyboard and dialing
A lot of salespeople saw the proximity sensor and assumed it was a cam... I think that's where this rumor started
there is no front camera....
i have tried using video chat apps which use front camera..they said no front camera detected.
maybe the latest fring version lets u use main camera.
i dont miss it though..
my bro has iphone4 ..he keeps facetiming with his GF...
Facetime is lame. What's the point if you can't make 3g video calls? If you're at home might as well use your laptop/desktop that has a better screen + better quality
so, this is?

Front Camera
There are X10 knock-offs floating around on Madeinchina.com (from the site just do a search on X10 and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about)
Many of these knock-off's have dual sim card slots, front and rear facing camera's, radio, even built in television.
However I can't confirm if any of them are using the Android OS. Its possible that where ever this confirmation came from originally - that the person was using one of these knock-offs.
Also to note - the camera resolution on these knock-offs are considerably lower than the true X10. Usually about 4mps for the rear camera, and 1.5mps for the front facing.
Screen size is usually a bit smaller. And I would imagine the resolution of the screen wouldn't be HD.
I have though made my decision. The next cellphone I buy will probably be an android based knock-off. Why? If I'm not going to get support from the manufacture anyways what the heck is the point in paying the high price. When I say support I mean continued updates and upgrades. All the work is now being done by the public - not the manufacture. I'd rather save the money by not buying the name brand, and donating to the developers who make this stuff work.

Out of curiosity, on the X10 what does the Proximity sensor do?
I have the message LED's that light up, that I noticed. The blue LED for facebook messages. is this a different LED to indicate something else?
What is the best camera/video camera app that I can use with CM7?
I currently have angel camera and camcorder but I don't think its really good so I was just curious what other people use.

Truefully , i would def say get Camera ZOOM FX if you really want to get details with your photos after taking em . for suree , other than that its all your choice on how you would like to take care of your pics . but the one i listed up der ^ was the best for me
Well after trying to take some pictures with Angle Camera, I've come to the conclusion its horrible. It will not focus the camera when I'm trying to take a picture of something close...ie a piece of paper with writing on it. It will not focus to the print. I never had any problems like that with the stock camera app.
Anyone know of a better camera app that makes use of focus?
Edit:
Seems it isn't just Angel Camera, I think I'm going back to the Darkside or Alien for now until this all gets situated with CM7.
Hi !
I am new here so I can't post to dev forums yet but I wanted to let it be known to whomever that 1) I REALLY appreciate the extremely hard work that has been done by jokersax and the rest of the dev team on the Photon 4G CM9 project. It is AMAZING!! THANKS!!!! and/but ....
2) I have not been able to use the video camera for RECORDING with any of the betas. Other camera functions including taking rear cam stills and front cam stills/face unlock work fine and always have for me on the betas but rear cam video recording on 720p mode will lag to complete unusability and record button does absolutely nothing in ANY mode. Switching rear cam to 480p will reduce lag in viewfinder significantly but STILL will not record.
My (very)uneducated GUESS is that this problem is somehow connected to the inability to play back ANY previously recorded videos in hardware render mode without MAJOR lag. Using an aftermarket video player (mobo/MX) allows for switching to software rendering in settings, which then allows playback at VERY slow motion at BEST, but smooth slow motion which is better than nothing I suppose. I also had a similar problem on an Optimus S that turned out to be related to the SD card for some reason. I am lost on this one.
I have cleared all caches multiple times, reinstalled stock everything, reinstalled the betas and so on and so on, but have NEVER had a working VIDEO camera since the alphas/betas started showing up. I haven't seen very many people complaining about the video camera and video playback issues so I have remained quiet, assuming there would be a fix on the horizon and that maybe this particular issue was just not very important to the majority of my fellow users. Please advise on any possible fixes or with any information or service I could provide to help make this AWESOME project even better than it already is.
I have been on the main thread for this project everyday for around 2 weeks now, but have not found my answer. I have only seen a few people post about this but did not see anyone get an answer. I apologize if I missed something that was already posted. I did search as well as I could for a solution.
I am NOT a great developer but I AM very good with all the technical stuff and can follow directions fairly well. (I THINK!! ) This video camera problem is the ONLY problem I am having with this rom, other than the loss of 4G, which I could really care less about at this point. I just clocked my 3G after installing 0.3.0 at almost 2Mb !!! That is the fastest 3G I have ever seen in my area!! ) Thanks again for this great rom !
AFAIK video recording is still a no-go. Has been for me atleast, I haven't flashed to the latest Beta yet though, im charging up now for it actually. Ive got no issues with video playback using a third party software and I use it regularly. Sure its only a matter of time until Joker gets the few remaining kinks worked out.

Roger that and agreed!! Joker is THE MAN and he has not left us hanging yet so I can wait!! I am currently on the latest beta, 0.3.0 and it is nearly flawless IMO except of course for the video cam and video playback issues, and some minor quirks here and there which are to be expected. I cant wait to see whats next!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
i read on the main thread some one say videocam illusion app works, its a little choppy but works..

anything new?
Sorry it has taken me so long to answer, but in case you don't already know, A LOT has changed in terms of getting the camera working correctly in the builds I am using. Right now I am using a MIUI port by TheBill and Spleef which is based off of Joker's CM9 work, and it is AWESOME! VERY smooth, and I have video recording AND playback, by using Videocam Illusion app for recording and MX Video player for playback in the SOFTWARE render mode. It works very well!
Joker seems to be making MASSIVE strides forward in getting CM9 perfect for the Photon. It is definitely worth the time and effort to follow his work and to flash its' results on the phone as they become available. He just announced that he may have cracked the proprietary code issues plaguing development of the portion of his CM9 responsible for 2d accel and video, which we have all been having issues with.
Cant wait to see whats next!!
Video recording
Hi guys any update on the Video recording issue that was present ?
I also have the same issue. Have tried the videocam illusion but i think it works well in 640X480 resolution only, if i increase the resolution there is a significant lag.
Other than the video camera all other things works great.
I keep seeing everyone say video cam illusion works but whenever I use it I can view the video immediately after I record it, but after that how do you view it? I go to the video camera illusion folder but the videos all show up as text files.

I flashed this zip to get 4.2 camera onto stock HTC One rom.
It installs fine and the camera and gallery apps come up perfectly fine. The photosphere viewer works and so does photosphere itself, but the sphere and panorama focus is off. When using regular camera or video mode the camera can focus very cleanly, but when using photosphere or panorama the camera is incapable of focusing. Has anyone else tried this? Any suggestions? Thanks.
When I had my nexus I used it to take a few panorama shots..They never seemed to come out good when they rendered into the "sphere"...like the camera snapped the photos too soon and things would overlap
I have a Nexus 4 too so I know what you mean on that, but the quality coming off the HTC One is significantly degraded and unfocused. It is almost like there is something wrong with the app's compatibility with the HTC One camera or something I'm guessing.
The stock one that comes built into the phone works a hell of alot better then the 4.2 panorama did..well for me anyway..Come to think of it I think I was still on a version of 4.1 when I installed it first..I never did try it once I upgraded to Bamf 4.2.2, since I sold the phone a few weeks after
anyone any ideas please? thx

I read somewhere that HTC pulled photosphere from the 4.2.2 update, which pretty much says it doesn't work yet on the HTC One. I haven't made or seen a single good Photoshphere from the one where the Galaxy S3 will make lovely ones. I'm sure HTC may sort this out eventually.... Android 4.3 maybe?
I actually found a APK that installs the 4.2 gallery and Camera with Photosphere on any ROM even a non rooted stock One

On the lg v10 as we know there is a dual camera. Well im having an issue with it. When using the normal camera app its all good. But the thing is when i use apps like snapchat the selfie camera cant be switched from wide angle to normal so its always on wide angle and i cant get good selfies with it. I really need to find a way to be able to switch the selfie camera in use in external apps (mainly snapchat). If i anyone can help please do. Thanks! Btw im new here so sorry if im a noob.
You'll have to wait for the third party apps like Snapchat to build this into their software.

Off topic question, but how are the quality of the Snapchat photos with the LG v10? Thanks in advance.

I'm on the T-mob variant. Photos are good on both the front-facing and rear cameras. Videos from the front-facing camera is good, but the rear camera is just a bit choppy/low-framerate (but the actual image quality is still good unlike on my GS3 where the video was pixelated).
Both look garbage , front camera on Snapchat looks so fuzzy and has a lot of noise compared to original app..might trade my v10 for nexus 6p for this reason ..
I've noticed this too. It looks pretty bad. Luckily for me I really don't use snapchat.

I don't have an issue with Snapchat if I have the proper lighting. That's with any forward facing camera. Only issue I have is that the Snapchat software makes the image mirror but that's Snaochat's problem.

In my case, I'm suscribed in beta versions and looks great. In dark areas (night, low light) doesn't look good. Btw I like the wide angle sensor in Snapchat. For me, is better.
