I need the fix too, for Samsung Galaxy SII (the Back Camera works ok).
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tudy23:
has anyone tried this on LG Optimus Black?I tried the ADB method but it didn't work and I don't know how to copy that com.htc... because with ASTRO it didn't work. I have rooted my phone..thanks for help and I would really love to see this beauty 2 mpx front camera working
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
I'm currently testing your FrontFacingCamera class. I've some HTC users (running Froyo) reporting me that the front camera isn't recognized. How could it be the case since I added the following to the static initializer, along with the according <uses-library>:

new FFCByClass("/system/framework/com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar", "com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera", "getFrontFacingCamera", null, null), // htc

Model : HTC Wildfire (HTC)

Model : PC36100 (HTC)

(not sure about the latest)

:confused:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
I googled HTC Wildfire and it doesn't seem to have FFC. Does it reaally have one?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Not really sure ! If they mind replying...

Another thing : I was used to use the "camera-id" hack for the Galaxy S before integrating your code, and it worked well. But a friend of mine reported me that since the update, it's front camera wasn't recognized anymore, while it was working before. I looked at your code, and everything seems right about this hack. Any ideas ?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
hi..... could anyone tell me if this will work on htc blackstone running gingerbread 2.3.3? and if it will work on camera app with front face support? thanks....:confused:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
That was the one I told you before that the seccamera is not working :-D If you look at the fix I posted to the Samsung user, I removed the seccamera and just used the "camera-id" property
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Oh ! I didn't understood that the seccamera was raising a false positive ! Great. Would you mind update the original post ?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
I already uploaded the APK versions you can install, no root required as long as you can sideload apps.

It should work as it uses the standard GB FFC API.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
thank alot for responce.......at the moment i only have back camera working........so with your com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera fix will it work with all apps including (visidon applock) or is it just for Yahoo Messenger?......forgive me if im wrong!........its just that im trying to get front camera working and if this fix will do it that would be so so great! thanks for your help in anyway even if i was wrong..........
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
I already updated the code in the first post (commented the seccamera). The code I posted does not have a check whether the device does really have FFC or not. It is assumed that those who download my mod does have FFC, otherwise they would not need it. Put some checking/validation that the device does actually FFC in your code.

Also, not all devices have the same camera orientation. It would be good (I think) if you can add some configuration in you app that allows users to change the camera rotation.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
This fix is only for YM, since you're using an HTC, my advice is for you to use the APKs as you might have the the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera in your system. But maybe not :D because YM should have worked if you have it. Just verify it so that you won't overwrite a system file. The ADB method will warn you if you have the file existing in your system anyway.

IF visidon applock is using the same logic as the YM (that looks for the jar), it might work.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
thanks alot.....
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
hi.... i have used adb method and setting permission was set to 777 should, i change this to 644.....thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
777 should be OK, as it gives all access for the file. But if you can change it to 644 it would be better as the file is not really an executable file.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
ok...thanks again

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
I'm not sure why but the easiest way to find out is to check the files in the framework directory. If you can't find the exact file that is used to open the FFC, try to baksmali the framework.jar. You might be able to find out there how the front cam is opened.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
The devices are not on my side, unfortunately... Since I already integrated all the <uses-library>, why should I need to pass the jar name to FFCByClass ? Could it be safer to remove them, passing null ?

(btw, thanks for your fast replies)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
Ooopps! I'm not sure but yes, that could be a problem. Maybe because you're loading 2 copies of the library and that's why it is confused.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acorants:
Thanks for all your work on this!

Tried to install the apks on Droid Charge, but it wouldn't work. Still gave back camera only. Any idea why? Installed fresh & followed directions of installing previous version.

htc blackstone:

hi there.....ive tryed everything but doesnt seem to work......i forgot to mention that im running gingerbread from sdcard.........i install yahoo but it doesnt show once installed........also does the com.htc.hardware.twincamdevice.jar require file from the modules in order to load front camera?............thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
Which files you installed? The jar files needs files that is usually shipped with the device. For GB, there should be no problem as it's using the 2.3 FFC API.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
I HAVE INSTALLED:

yahoo.imvideo-270.apk AND

com.htc.hardware.twincamdevice.jar

THANKS
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
you have to install yahoo.im.apk too. yahoo.im is the main app and yahoo.imvideo is the plugin for voice and video. they should be installed together. when you use the apk versions, you dont need the jar anymore
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
laugh....silly me...how comes i didnt think of that........thanks for pointing it out........
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
HI.....how would i go about checking visidon applock manifest.xml or classes.dex to see how front camera is called or ie: (looks for front camera).........thanks

this is what i found in the manifest.xml : v i s i d o n . A p p L o c k  u s e s - s d k  u s e s - p e r m i s s i o n  a n d r o i d . p e r m i s s i o n . C A M E R A
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
That is just a permission to use the cam. Is that app available in the market? I'll take a look at it tonight
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] welard:
yes its on the market.....if u like the apk i got it.........by the way ymessenger shows back camera only when i do video call.....thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Excellent =)

YM video call problem

Sorry, maybe my question is out of topic. It has nothing to do with the front camera. But since to me, you are knowledgeable in video call using Yahoo! Messenger on Android, I hope you might have some idea to my my problem.

My problem is that I can't see the video/picture of my YM friend. Although he/she can see the video/picture from my camera. It looks like a twisted interlaced picture. Any idea maybe regarding my problem?

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SoberGuy:
OK, call me an idiot... Have an AT&T Atrix, btw.

I don't see a CWM method in the first post or any instructions for it. In looking at the various files attached, I'm assuming I can rule out the first one, as it says ADB and I'm looking to do it via CWM. The second is for HTC hardware, which obviously the Atrix is not. The next several are APKs, which obviously won't go through CWM. This leaves the last .zip. Is it safe to assume the last file attached is the one meant for flashing via CWM on an Atrix?

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
You only need to download and install the yahoo.im.apk and yahoo.imvideo.apk on your device. The zip files were intended for Atrix users when I started this mod and it requires rooted devices.

In case your camera orientation is wrong, you can replace the yahoo.imvideo.apk with any of the 90, 180 or 270 versions to correct it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ronnieonthespot:
I have an Atrix and I downloaded the zip file to my device but when I tried to execute the program nothing happened, I tried with ES file Explorer and still nothing happened. Thanks for the reply

thanks so much id really appreciate it.

Sorry there's no fix for the local preview orientation yet

Sorry, don't have a fix for that too :(

There was a mistake in my code to open the FFC for streak 5. It was resolved in my skype mod but I didn't have time to update YM.

I'll find some time to update it maybe this weekend or next week.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] carloscav82:
That's okay your still awesome! Keep it
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] puwedena:
thank you very much if youre gonna make this work for dell streak 5...

i know thank you isnt enough but i will donate when i made this work on my device, maraming salamat, i appreciate your hard work.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:
For those who have dell streak 5, try this video plugin. Uninstall the plugin you downloaded from post #1 and install this one.

LG Optimus Black, Optimus 3D and Revolution users as well as HTC models (not sure what specific models) that use Camera.open("secondary") can try this too.

Let me know if it works for you guys so I can update post #1.

Note: If you used the ADB method or the zipped jar file (for rooted devices), you have to download the yahoo.im.apk on post#1 (in addition to this apk) and replace your installed ym and ym plugin. You MUST also remove /system/framework/com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar so that the new code can detect the FFC correctly (otherwise it will confuse the new code)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] puwedena:
wow it works on unrooted Dell Streak 5 and thank you again and i did what i promise...

i hope the donation can help you help more people like me.

another happy customer :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droidrx:

EDIT: i downloaded the ym app from market and used your fix plug-in now it works....but upside down on the window of the person i am talking to. maybe the upside down plug-in (on my part) will the image correct on the other side...just waiting for the GSII to fully charge then i'll try it again
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Majestik7:
Please fix

Could you please make an apk that will undo the changes in yahoo.imvideo.apk? I installed the apk's and tried all the other orientations. The different orientations change on the other persons screen, but show upside-down in my preview. All the videos that I take with the ffc are always sideways if I hold the phone up-right (in the camera app), but are correct if I hold the phone sideways... and I would like to undo this.

I am on an Atrix on 4.5.91... I've tried a factory restore without luck.

Please help... Thanks

*EDIT* So it looks like I might have been a royal noob on this one...

After going to the local AT&T it looks like the Atrix wont record video in portrait orientation...
