Okay this might be hard to understand but I am trying to 'fake' camera source. So suppose I have a video that I want to be used as a Camera Source.
This is kinda hard to explain but imagine you open Snapchat or Periscope app, both app use your camera, now when you open the app instead of getting the feed/image from your hardware camera it gets its "feed" from a pre-set video or another source such as a USB cam or similar.
Ofcourse Id need root for such hackery but I cant think of what to Google to find solutions. Anyone wanna help haha
Did you ever find a solution?

Hello, I am really starting to find it annoying how slow the camera is to open, I am not sure whether it is a problem with just me or whether it is a problem with the Sony software.
However, when I open the camera, it sticks on a black screen for a good 4 seconds before actually showing the camera, then when moving the camera around it is really laggy and blurry - with other phones such as any HTC the camera seems really smooth when moving it around.
Does anyone else experience this problem? And does anyone know a fix for it?
I was wondering whether downloading Vignette or something might help?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just tried the Vignette demo and it seems it does not lag, however it does not have a video option and seems a bit over complicated for my simple needs, anyone know any other good camera programs on that market?
I found the camera to be slow as well. I did a lot of tweaking on my phone (root, uninstall timescape, bloatware, enabled JIT) and now the camera and the phone in general is faster.
yes!!! camera is very laggy .... plus my camera button shuts down the camera.apk ....now i can only get a picture using "on screen" clicking option....
[Q]Now why have a camera LED and it does nothing for the camera?...so silly I find
I have done everything rbenz suggested apart from remove TimeScape as I am worried this will conflict when using other apps.
Does anyone know of a decent 3rd party camera application please?
Surely someone has found a decent app, please let me know if you have
me too....when you move the camera while video recording it lags so much and this lag is also seen during playback of the same video,also opening takes years
I've seen this ability in the iPhone from online info and wondered if its possible to do on android, however I would like to be able to do this in any app that takes a photo, not just the stock camera app.
Anyone know if this is possible in any way? I've read it may be possible with tasker but I'm not sure how.
I just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
does anybody have any ideas?
I'm rather surprised that nobody seems to have any ideas on this... could someone at least please relay to me why this isn't possible (if it's not possible)?
I would think that this would be a reasonably popular thing to do (recording video whilst looking at a prompter or even a web page or something to do podcasting stuff...
Is this something I'm going to have to write? (I have no idea how to dev android apps).
well i'm glad to see that google does a good job at finding appropriate threads - here it is, a couple of months later, and I'm revisiting the same problem that I had before - I still can't record and prompt at the same time on my i717 (now running cm9 / cm10, not that it should matter)... I still don't get it.
i don't know what to say , u searched a program on google?i believe that is here at least 1 program for your note
Video app with built in teleprompter
There is a great teleprompter/video recording app. It's called VRT2. Unfortunately you would have to downgrade to an iPad to get it. When I saw it, I was tempted o make the switch, but I don't want to give up the advanced features of my Samsung Note 10.
I'm hoping that a great Android app developer will create something like the VRT2 soon.
When it's ready, I'm ready to buy it.
I still can't seem to find anything that does this and it would be *great* for quick video podcasting... I just want to be able to record myself on the front camera while either reading my notes or looking at a teleprompter with the outline i've created for the segment.
Video recorder teleprompter
Have you found any other software to video you with front facing camera with teleprompter on screen?
I know Ipad have one on itunes costing somewhere 24 dollars or £18 which is a professional one, not tried it but I now it does record you and at the same time has all the words you want to talk about in front of you.
Keep up to date, I don't know which tablet to buy because of this problem.

Hi everyone,
I (ecological reason) bought a Fairphone 4.
It's really not what I expect from a phone so I am looking to update some apps.
The main issue I get is this one on Camera.
Fairphone 4 doesn't allow to record video from the wide angle camera... Yeah... WTF !!!
It seems to be described on the sepcs, but why ??? How a camera can be reduced to not recording video ?
My old LG G6 does it with wide camera.
Whatever, I tried to use other apps as Open Camera, HD Camera and others but I doesn't find a way to switch, even for picture mode, from the main camera to the wide one.
Do you have any idea of which app I may use ?
Thank you
buy that phone yesterday, have the same problem! By any chance, do you find some solution? Also i want to change from defalutOS to calyxos, but again - big issue inside camera.
Hi all,
I've got a Lenovo Pad Pro 11 on which I've installed ZUI 14 (Android 12) and have also got it fully rooted with boot loader unlocked.
I have a usb video capture device which I use as a USB Camera to stream from my PC, and I want to make it the default camera device when I launch the camera app, so when I go on live in insta or TikTok or twitch for example, it's recognised as the default camera rather than using the onboard camera from the tablet. I understand this may involve some system file tweaking but I find it a bit too complicated to understand.
Could anyone provide some guidance or tips on how to do this?
Thank you
Unfortunately, this is near impossible (unless modifying the source and compiling it yourself) due to Androids camera system where every camera has its own id (0 for the primary rear camera and 1 for the primary front camera).
What you would need is to modify the source so that the OTG Camera is emulated as an integrated camera. I am not an expert in that field and can as such not give directions on how to do that.
I would recommend starting by reading the Android Source documentation.
Good luck and let us know if you find a solution.
