I have been through 3 different custom roms and 1 stock untouched rom, and NONE seem to work correctly with video chat apps and the front camera.
ooVoo doesn't see front camera at all (even though O3D is listed as supported device)
Tango front camera is EXTREMELY zoomed in, even holding phone at the length of my fully extended arm its hard to get my entire face on screen
Fring doesn't see front camera
Qik for T-mobile (from market) works, but at about 1 frame per second and its a grainy pixelated 1 frame at that
Skype doesn't see the front camera
I don't even KNOW of any other video chat apps... I'd love to find something that WORKS, thats cross platform since all my friends have iPhone's - or the greatest would be to find something that is FACETIME (iPhone) capable/compatible.
I'm currently using the RushDroid v21b GingerBread rom (fyi)

What are the best apps available for picture and video recording for 2.2? I don't know why but I've been having a hard time finding good ones. I've been using Vignette which does it's job for taking pictures but doesn't have video recording support.
Hopefully there is an app availble that supports the 8MP pictures and 720P video recording of the X10.
I'd love to be able to use the stock camera from stock firmware but that doesn't seem to work on 2.2
Why not use this ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
It has a working 8MP cam and 720p video recording(Though the sound capture might be inaudible not sure why, i bet the devs are working on it and colour reproduction for me was kinda bluish effect.)
That is the rom I'm using. I'm just looking for an APP to take pics / shoot vids with. the stock android one kinda sucks
well...for photos with perfect light (outside, daylight) camera360 is perfect. it has very nice effects and the photos look like they are made by a pro. (one bad thing is, that it doesnt recognize the flashlight of the x10i - i dunno why and its not for free)

so far the best rom for me...
other than stock SE camera miui cam is nice
i confirm that
I love Camera360 Ultimate, it takes pictures faster than Vignette and in my experience better quality features.
Vignette has more effects but it takes FOREVER to process a photo, and I have frequent freezing, so I don't like it that much.
I'm currently looking for information on users who have front facing camera on generic chinese tablets. I have an EM73, TCC8803 based tablet but I believe any tablet that's currently in the line of Emdoor/Telechips based tablets could benefit from this thread. And in the long run, hopefully any device with a front facing camera.
The issue is Video Chat. As i'm sure everyone has tried, the camera app works great! But, if you use another video chat program such as gtalk or Qik, then the other person will see a very downgraded video. If you (currently) try the Skype 2.0 hacks, you'll see no video at all.
It appears to me that the video chat programs are making a specific call in Android 2.3.x for video chat abilities (I've only gotten gtalk to work in 2.3.3, Qik works in 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 but video quality is the same).
Does any know where this request is and maybe how it could be modified? Also, has anyone tried another video chat program that worked better?
I hope we can get better video quality, as the TCC8803 chip should have no problems with an upgraded video out stream. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi all,
When using the leaked Gingerbread ROM, the camera and video app revert to the default Android one and we lose the LG camera / video app.
I don't really mind this except for the fact that having the video on 'High' uses the psuedo 1080 and is not nearly as smooth as the 720p recording on the Froyo ROM.. I saw the same issue with "1080p" on the Froyo ROM.
What I'd like to do is force it so that "High" is 720p.
Is there a hack that will let me set this permanently, or an app that will let me select this on the fly?
I'd much rather have smooth video at 720p than psuedo 1080p that's a little jittery.
Thanks so much for any information.
I found my own solution.
Download LgCameraPro from the market.
It's a camera and video camera replacement that has TONS of features and even allows you to set your own custom recording resolution, bitrate, framerate, etc..
GREAT app so far (although I've only been playing with it about 20 minutes).
I to have that app you speak of and I like the video camera but I dont like any of the Camera apps in the market they all shoot crappy pics the closest one to even the stock android app is called camera advance so right now I use the stock app for camera and LGcamerapro for the video mostly sometimes I just use the stock for video but I heard that it only shoots in 720p and not 1080p. I updated with the LG update as soon as it came out I mean hours after the release Someone said that the LG update lost 1080p video capabilities but the OTA got them back. So Again I am confused does my stock app shoot 1080p or 720p.
Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
