Hi all.
I am trying to figure out why when I start a Google hangout, my wife's Infuse refuses to use the front facing camera, it defaults to the rear camera. Everything else works, but would like it to have the ffc as the default.
It doesn't even give me a choice to flip to which camera to use during the hangout.
It is a rooted + unlocked Infuse ATT, using the stock froyo 2.2.1 rom.
Thanks

i dont think froyo has the camera framework for front facing video outside the camera program. the first version of android to support that was gingerbread because of its launch device, the nexus s. you should upgrade to gingerbread and try again. though to have it in a google hang out, you might even need ics or higher. im not sure.
Thanks for that response,
I was kind of figuring that I will have to upgrade the ROM for it to work.
I was kind of hoping that I could avoid it.
Thanks again,
Heeter

hey guys . i'm rooting my phone for first time. and i want a custom ROM for my nexus s 9023 ,, i wanted to know which rom has face unlock working .
thaning you in the mean time awaiting your positive response
Codename android has it and it works well in light conditions. Don't use it myself though. I'm sure most ics roms have it too though.

try Bigxie rom or CM9 + Matr1x kernel.
worked only 3 times and then never again
I tried it on the Nexus S with stock ICS with this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405790
I never used it again either.
I never could get face unlock to work. Someone on these forums had recommended Visidon AppLock though and it's great! Quite customisable in the paid version & it's also a Tasker plugin so you can have it active whenever you like. Mine activates when I'm not near my wifi.
I have tried this on the first ICS sandwich ROM i tried. I believe it was CM9. It was extremely unreliable on all but the brightest conditions.
Its pointless. Any from dev that's tries to implement it is wasting time, even with great written camera drivers the phones camera hardware sucks. Just get a gnex or sgsII if its important.

A couple of months ago I was messing around with my wife's infuse, and I installed an app called ..Sammy hidden features..the infuse was totally stock on 2.2..upon playing with the apps features I ended up checking and updating the camera firmware. Ever since the rear facing camera is green and it doesn't take pics, the camera apk works fine and front camera works fine. My fixes I've tried were,
Root
GB leak
Odin back to stock via heimdale
Reroot on froyo
Flashed numerous roms
Same result everytime, logic says its a physical camera issue, but it worked fine before I tinkered with that app, I messed with the phone because I was checking for official GB update...lol...any ideas?

Well, a lot of people has seen this thread, and nobody has responded. So Imma get the ball rolling.
Have you tried using any other app? Maybe puddingcamera? I find that works great when the stock app is mad at me.
It's odd though.. that an odin didn't fix an issue like that. :/

UCam is my camera of choice.
Sent from my Infue 4G looking for a new ROM since zeus is dead using XDA Premium.
i certainly have, i have recently been searching for firmware..I found some..and actually some galaxy devices use the same camera module firmware. Installing it is the issue...I tried to manually input some lib files and script. .crashing was thw only result. I imagine the only fix would be a. tar via odin..guess ill keep trying..any advice is welcome..but for a fact i know the front cam...era module is bricked...Information on the issue is sketchy at best..thx for the post!
if your looking for somthing new, Odin back to stock, then heimdal to GB 2.3 6, then heimdal red clockwork..flash aeon rom..then look for the new OC kernels for the ucbla3 modems aet at 1.6ghz..
and be amazed! Screen is HD and fast fast no lag...doesnt even look like an infuse anymore!
Hey guys, first off I want to apologize if this is wrong area for this or if this has already been posted, but yes I have looked and haven't found anything about it.... so I have a HTC One S running the latest MIUI.... the problem is, I go to the default camera, switch it over to video recording, and it'll take the video just fine.... problem is when you go to play it or even preview it, it has a ton of lines through it, it's blurry, you see triple of everything, etc....same thing if you plug it into computer and play the vid.n help is greatly appreciated guys!
Are you on the cm9 base or the Sense base? I know the cm9 one was having camera/camcorder problems.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I believe CM9 base? I ran cm9 before and I froze the HTC sense **** lol. Not positive though, I can check if needed but I'll need to know how xD I'm still a little new to messing with Android.
There is no fix for this yet on roms that are not sense based, due to HTC using a special undocumented imaging chip for the camera in one S. If/when it is fixed I guess it'll come to miui quick.
Hi All,
So Friday I unlocked and rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for the first time so I could load Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I have to say, Wow! such a huge improvement from ICS. I love how fast and smooth it is. Its like having a hole new phone! But I have found one problem so far, and was wandering if any one else is having the same issue. So the problem Im having is with the camera... It looks like its a white balance issue. all the pictures I take are coming out with a yellow or green hue to them, and if you try to set the white balance manually to incandescent or any thing else it gets really yellow or green. I have also noticed that if I go to the gallery app, it won't switch to landscape when I rotate my phone to landscape to view my pictures. But if I go in to the camera and swipe left to get in to the gallery, then I can view pictures with no problem in landscape.
If anyone hase any ideas, or has noticed simular problems pls hit me up... I would love to get this figured out.
The sample picture I am adding to this should be white, not the hew it is...
I have a Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515.
I used ToolKit v7.0 to unlock, root, and load ClockworkMod...
I loaded JB411_toro_signed_071012-1130.zip and Jellybean GApps files to get it up to 4.1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Matt,
So I loaded a different version of 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and all is well..

Issue w/ JB
In this case, it most likely is just a major error in the software itself, and will be noted by testers and fixed soon.
have a great day.
That was a software issue in the first JB release
Maybe try flashing the newest gapps?
I tapd that
gnex axiom antimyth
I figured, I've sense installed cm_toro- user debugging 4.1.1 JRO03H vicious.20120728.002819 test keys
And it seems to be perfect, I haven't found any problems with it yet. So I'm pretty happy
Now I just need room root my Verizon XYBoard 10.1 to ICS...

I figured you could just install a new GApps over an older one. I'm kinda new to unlocking and rooting.. I've had my android devices for years now but never really got into hacking them tell now. There's a lot to learn.

hey guys... i've searched on this for a bit now but havent found people with similar issues
Got my 727r ... which is using CM10.1 nightlies... been updating once a week since january
the one issue that drives me nuts is that i cant use my front camera... in stock camera app if i switch to front camera gallery crashes and then i cant open the camera app at all anymore... if i use another camera app i just get black feed from the front camera.... i have the latest Gapps and currently the latest nightly build...
if i revert to 10.0 the camera works again.
anyone else running into this?

Nope you need to do a full clean install.

Ok... Finally had some time to do more investigating on the issue and things only got worse.
I do a full wipe/clean install on all my flashes.... that means wipe all caches, wipe the isd cards, and factory reset
anyways... flashed with the official stock ROM for rogers in Odin and the front camera seems to be broken in there too now... so just to to test i then wiped everything, and installed CM10 to see if it still works... no dice... now the front camera is broken in all roms ive tested, and non standard camera apps exhibit this behaviour too... I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue which would really suck.
All in all i'm out of ideas short of taking it to someone who can look at the hardware.
