Thanks and much credit to rajeevvp!!!! I have gotten a webcam to stream video onto my gtab with DRH 1.3.2

Its kind've choppy, and a little blurry but works in a stable manner.

I am beggining to learn programming for android and trying to figure out a way to have any apps divert to my working video source instead of looking at the factory camera for a source. It seems it should be possible but I am just still too newb to Know any better.

If you would like to test this, then refer to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29457353&postcount=11

I have had success with a uvc compatibe webcam so far.

If you might have an idea as to how to trick the rom into looking at the usb port for its default video source I would like to know. Or if you can conclusively tell me that this is not possible I would like to know that too. My understanding is that there are two ways to approach this. One is to have the rom divert any frame capture requests to the usb video source as opposed to the original location. The other way, and probably more likely way, is to take an app like skype and hack it to go to usb for video, as opposed to the "stock camera location." Any insights would be very helpful. At least then, we could video chat with a small webcam, as opposed to no camera at all.

If this works for you, hit the thanks button on RAJEEVVP's post.

[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
That binary source code may also work on other ROMs (Froyo-, GB-, or HC-based ones)--if the Android<->HW camera interface hasn't changed. (The binary, unfortunately, doesn't load on GB and HC.)

This is how it should've been done by nVidia in the first place. I had expected them or VS/Malata to write a kernel driver for their camera which implemented the standard V4L interface. Instead, they have a binary-only shared object which directly controls the camera HW in a completely opaque way. There's hardly any camera-support code in the official (2.6.32.x) kernels at all--I was very surprised when I looked into this some time back.

nVidia's HW is nice and all, but, from now on, I'm just not going to buy any more of their products if it relies on any proprietary blobs.

If you're down to take a peek here is where we're at with the Gtab camera on .39...

[G Tablet General] feethought:
I may not have everything??

I found out I didn't have a dev/video0 folder. I created one but the camera fcs. Is ther supposed to be files in the video0 folder? I noticed in the audio folder there were several files. I am running DRH ICS 1.3 It didn't have the camera app installed since it didn't work anyway.

Any help would be appreciated. I restored the camera app with Ti from an earlier backup.

Thanks

btw: Thanks to all who got this working. I've been looking for something just like this.
[G Tablet General] redeyedjedi:
Um, /dev/video0 is only created after you plug in your camera. You do not create this yourself. If your camera is UVC compatible, then after it is plugged in you should have /dev/video0 on the stock rom with no modifications! Did you check the link to see if it is listed?

These terminal commands give the camera permission to use the camera apps, along with the camera.tegra.so file. But, a totally unmodded rom will give /dev/video0 if your camera is compatible, because TEAMDRH already included the needed drivers. download the app "usb host controller" and open it after you plug your camera in. under the USB tab, does it register or list your camera? If so, then google your webcam, not the brand name, but the brand that is listed under "usb host controller" to see if it is UVC. My camera is a Gigaware, but under usb host controller it is listed as an MSI Starcam.

This positively works for me, but I have been waiting for anyone else to tell me it worked for them too so I can confirm. I am happy to help, because I want this to work universally as it should so it is a viable option.
[G Tablet General] feethought:
Thanks

Thanks. I'm at work and just pulled out a cheap camera from my drawer. Not even sure what model it is. I wasn't aware though that the camera would create the folder when it is plugged in. When I get home I know I have a camera that is compatible and I will try it again.

Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes.
[G Tablet General] feethought:
Fnally...a camera again

It works. I haven't actually taken a pic or video yet, but I got a picture. I'm using my Logitech 270 HD webcam and the picture looks great. This is what I've been waiting for. I downloaded the free version if Camera ICS off the Play store. May have to buy it. The older stck camera app still FCs but the ICS one fired right up. Now I'll have to make my script.

Thanks a great deal... :good::good:
[G Tablet General] redeyedjedi:
On a fresh install of the JB alpha, if you swipe left on the lockscreen instead of right, the camera app pops up, if you do a factory reset, then it will be in your app drawer!

I am so glad to hear it works for someone else.

TO use video recording or skype video, any video, you have to swap from the front to back camera. It shows an inverted image, but when you play back a recorded video, it is proper, also skype might be inverted but it looks right on the other end. I do not know why this is, but it works!!

***To clear up any confusion, the terminal commands only need to be entered once, after the camera is plugged but before you try to use any camera apps. They do not need to be re-entered until the next time you plug your webcam in, or restart the tab. With the gscript, you can put a shortcut on your homescreen, and the process becomes: plug cam in, tap one button, then load camera app or skype,etc!!
[G Tablet General] Apodidae:
I can confirm it works with ICS Beta 1.3.2 (using the Camera ICS app). Camera, and Skype work just fine!

At last, my gTab is complete again! (well... almost...). :D

Random newbish question

would this be able to work on other tablets as well? albeit slightly modified and what not... i've been thinking of integrating a dell streak 7 into my dash and an external web cam would be a neat back up cam
[G Tablet General] redeyedjedi:
Im gonna guess no, but it is possible. YOu need a kernel with V4l2 support, and a file like this to direct the rom to communicate with it. I know nothing about dell streaks, but if you ask a developer of the rom you're using to look at Borkata's github source you might get a solution, but I really do not know.
[G Tablet General] kamontryst:
Thanks, I figured that because the dell streak is a tegra 2 board, it wouldnt be too difficult, but i am definatly not a dev of any sort
[G Tablet General] rkmFL:
I've tried this with on a gTablet, testing both G-Harmony & SmoOther Beam 4.1.2, but I haven't been able to get it working.

I'm testing it with a Microsoft HD-6000 webcam. Any suggestions on where I might look to determine if the problem is related to the ROM/approach, or the hardware?

I've already checked the UVC compatibility page. Unfortunately it's a bit out-of-date, and the HD-6000 is not yet listed, yet the sister HD-3000 is listed as supported.

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

So I have successfully flashed both but am experiencing som kind of problems, first is the battery drain that I have my battery doesn't last for 5 hours with light to normal use I did a full cycle charge and deleted the battery cache, but still didn't feel the battery "change" after flashing Franco Kernel r12 + Leedroid One Xtreme V6.4 from a stock kernel + ROM, maybe its there but slightly noticeable, the other issue that found is that the native mail app won't sync with my hotmail account bit when I downloaded the hotmail app from the play store it work perfectly without sync problems but the thing is I really like to have multiple mails in one place, tried the K-9 mail app but I like the stock one :p, not sure if this sync issue is from the new ROM or kernel or that its a settings thing.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
hotmail sync never worked. there is a thread dedicated to this issue. you found the only solvable way in sense by downloding that app.

The title basically says it all, sometimes it does it at complete random but I can force it by jiggling the plug a bit. It's not a software bug most likely since I just switched roms from cm 7.2 to unoficial cm 9, and all music players respond too. Now I only have poweramp instaalled, but I had a few others on my old rom, so they turned on randomly sometimes. Can I block only hardware buttons with an app/hack so I could still use a third party widget, and possibly still use the "hold down volume button" cm feature, or would I have to block all 3? I already tried heaadset blocker, but it didn't work at all.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaboobla:
This is an issue due to the buttons on the headset. Do a play store search for disable autoplay. It will prevent the phonefrom trying to use headset buttons( even if there aren't buttons on the headphones you are using)

I believe I've had this problem in the past with other android devices but I don't recall how I solved it.

Basically I unlocked, rooted, and flashed CWN using the nexus tool kit (I am very capable of using adb just felt like simplifying). I then made a nandroid backup using the CWM that the tool kit flashed. Later, i updated to CWM touch with Rom manager. I don't think the new CWM caused this but for some reason i am unable to delete that first nandroid i made. I've made other backups since and have had no problem deleting them, it's just this first one that i made that isn't deleting for some reason. Any ideas? It's pretty much just dead weight on my storage at this point.
