[Q] Social Cam - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am loving the tab 7 right now. I am running into one problem with an app and I wasn't sure if its the app or the rom I installed. I installed cyanogenmod nightly build for the p3113 model at of Nov 4. I installed an app called social cam because I have seen people use it quite a bit and I wanted to give it a go since we have two cameras on this tab. The problem is when I open it to use it the camera autorotates to landscape mode and thats it. No matter what I press it will not switch to portrait. The other thing with the app is that it is not using the front facing camera only the back. So I can't see myself if I wanted to record a video.
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having a similar issue or could even duplicate the issue. It could be just the app, but I wanted to be sure before I deleted it. Also if anyone has a substitute that might be a good alternative I am all ears...thanks

Very nice. I'll throw it up for when I need to flash GAPPS. Is this the full GAPPS or just the GTalk?
*Looks like the full monte.

To clarify, does it initially open with the front camera so that you can use gtalk video, or does it open with the back camera so you can't use the gtalk video chat feature? Thanks!

Before you install that version of gapps read the last part of this. Bottom line is 0503 gapps is not compatible with Tegra devices. http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Not working...help?
Hey guys. I installed the latest gapps install as posted above, but google talk seems to not be any different. No video icon is displayed for contacts that I know have video capability and the Settings menu doesn't reflect having any video related options. I have a friend who owns a Nexus S with stock Gingerbread and can use google talk + vid. I also have a separate google account with a web cam. In both scenarios, I can see the other person and we can hear each other fine, but the recipient can't see me. I can see myself in the self-viewer window, so that must mean the video data isn't being sent right. Any ideas?
I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC1 Experimental ROM on a MyTouch 4g (HTC Glacier).
EDIT: NVM. I installed 20110613. I automatically went with the latest. Either my phone isn't supported for one reason or another or the gtalk + video isn't included in the latest gapps package. Am I missing something/confused here?
The newb needs to update his post. GTalk works, but video is not supported.

did ya read the qualifier on that page...."but does not include the new Google Talk with video chat due to there being no compatible library available for non-ARM7 and non-neon board devices, from Google or another OEM. This package should work on all 2.3.4 ROMs, and has the latest Android Market update in it, which includes in-app purchase support."
Not sure if thats the answer you're looking for.....
Now that Moto Atrix 4g finally has 2.3.4 (first Tegra 2 phone) maybe we can get a hold of GTalk 2.3.4 w/ Video chat support
Link is broken
You need 20110603 GAPPS and then flash a fix. Its in the Apps thread.
MIUI has it working out of the box btw. Tested it before I left this morning.

[Q] Rear camera won't initialize (front = OK) -- any patient helpers out there?

Hello,
I am having problems with a second-hand skyrocket and the rear (main) camera. The guy who sold it to me told me he did something to it (software-wise) that broke the rear camera and it won't initialize or display/take pictures from it. I have downloaded a few different camera apps that would try to initialize or start the rear camera to no affect, but skype, google hangouts, and rear camera only apps work fine.
I have tried going from stock 2.3.6, stock 4.0.4, stock 4.1.2, and most recently both CM 10.1.3 and 10.2 nightly on it to no avail. Most recently on the CM roms, when I open the camera app, it opens (like all other camera apps will, with a black screen), but it says "unfortunately Gallery has stopped" where with the stock roms it will say the Camera has stopped.
I noticed a thread with a possibly similar theme here, but since that thread is a few months old, I'm referencing that one and starting a new one.
Additionally, I found a .zip file with individual camera firmware (or software updates) out there, at least 25 in fact in a 5.83mb zip with the following instructions
- Extract the .bin file to the internal sd card
- type *#34971539# into the dialer
- select "phone to cam FW write"

But no matter the firmware I tried to flash, and flash back to the SDEH0D (or back to any of the others), that didn't seem to help. I didn't try all 25, but I did choose about 7 ones staggered from that list.
Any other thoughts or comments, tests or experiments? I'd really appreciate any direction
I'm not an expert on the issue that you're having, But I have encountered a Gallery force-close when starting up the camera. In some of the newer ROM's available today, the camera and gallery are linked. Meaning you can swipe either left or right while inside the camera app and go into your gallery. Anyway, Seems to me that it goes a bit beyond just a software fix. Could be that the camera itself is broken. The only reason I say that is because you say that you've tried several different ROM's and some supposed software fixes, but it's still not working. I would say that if you can, try and find a proper fix that you can either flash in recovery or push to your phone using ADB. I'll do some digging of my own and see what I can come up with.

[Q] CM11 Gallery app broke when sharing backed up photos

So I went through most CM11 based, custom ROM's (including there own base rom) and one consistent broke portion was when using the gallery app (not photos) if I tried sharing any image that came from a picasa album it would not work and gave an error. Sharing it to anywhere resulted in "can't download image" or "can't complete task". As well I couldn't "set image as" a wallpaper or anything else such as contact photo etc. A stock based ROM or modded rom which was not CM11 based have no problem doing these things. I prefer gallery and this is simply broke in CM11 when it comes to sharing. Not the developers who base their Rom off CM11. So how does my tiny little request get to the CM11 developers to look into it?
Tested 4.4, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 CM11 based roms. All with same results.Again all stock based roms, no issue. I think this is a simply bug fix.

Can anyone else verify the same issue?
Yes, about 2 weeks ago i rooted and went straight to cm11 on my t989, I knew before hand that the camcorder wasn't working, today while at work I checked for updates and saw that cm11 20140113 was released. After I got of work I downloaded it, installed it, didn't really notice anything untill I went into the camcorder. I recorder about 10 seconds of video and manually stopped the recording!! Curious to see if it worked I went into my gallery to view it, as soon as I opened gallery it froze and rebooted. I know I'm off topic a bit but i be had every nightly available and the gallery always acts up. But the fact that I was able to record was amazing, I still can't view the video, i even tried viewing it with my default video player which is MX Player and I was given a "cannot play video" error. I don't understand, I should be able to watch the video I recorded right? Unless its trolling me...

SOLVED: I just want working continuous auto focusing video recording.

]Okay, now I understand this phone simply have this problem where the camera constantly tries to refocus during video recording and it affect all OnePlus, this is my third OnePlus.
For some reason the Cyanogen Rom and roms based on it lack some drivers that allows continuous autofocusing to work correctly while video recording. Depends on what camera apps you use, the autofocusing will either not work, or it will continuously tries to re-focus nonstop. ColorOS however does have this function working correctly.
Solution: Use ColorOS + CameraNext or Google Camera.
If it matters that much to you then find the bug report on Jira and up vote it, that's the only real effective way to have an impact. You're not likely to find a fix at the ROM level.

Thanks for posting a solution. This problem is driving me crazy enough to sell my phone since I often need to use it to take short videos at work, and it is so embarrassing to have to show the videos to others that I have taken to also carrying around a small point-and-shoot, and this is not acceptable. I have tried many roms and many camera apps, but all of them have the video refocus issue.
However, I don't see Color OS in XDA. Is there a rom thread for it? I will try anything to salvage this phone since I love it except for this problem.

You'll find several builds of ColorOS in our General section.

This also appears to be a fix
I flashed the v20 mod for the app at http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275 and it does not continually autofocus. I saw no need to flash the "click fix" since it is does not click when using it. I am on KK Slim.

The official ColorOS firmware for some reason I could not get to boot on my phone, but you have to use the official version if you want working OTA updates. And it lack Gapps so you have to manually install it.
You could use other custom version like this one which is what I'm using, it's flashable using TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/rom-4-4-2-coloros-2-0-36beta-t2955853
The official OppoCamera.apk still do not record with continuous focusing, but the CameraNext.apk and Google Camera does.

Camera lag

Hi guys,
I have a problem, i just received my find X2 pro and it's perfect. Almost perfect.
I don't understand why but my camera is lagging when i use Snapchat or TikTok for exemple (15fps). It really works with the default app camera but not with the other apps.
When i use TikTok, i think the app use the preview of the photo mode and not camera i guess
Do you have a solution for this problem ?
Thanks
Did you already update to Android 11?
I just update the phone.
I have ColorOS 7.1
But Android 10
Well Android 11 / ColorOS 11 is already being rolled out but depending on where you live it might take a few weeks until you'll be able to download. There's also a guide on how to change region code which will let you download it right away if you don't feel like waiting. Anyhow maybe the update will solve your problem.
Ok i see. I just look some articles for Android 11. I'm from France, i think i'm gonna wait a stable version of this ROM.
Thanks
I just discovered something, when i'm outside, the camera works perfectly with every apps but not when i'm inside m'y house. I think it's maybe the lighting
Do you have an explication ?
Unfortunately the Find X2 Pro doesn't play nicely with social media applications, apps such as Snapchat & WhatsApp struggle with microphone volume as well as the issues you're experiencing, unless it's brought up to Oppo directly I can't see it being fixed anytime soon as it's still just as bad on ColorOS 11
