[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
First of all, thank you for the amazing development, I've never expected to have a camera working on Android, thank you again!

Now back to the point. I'm not trying to rush things, just asking a question.

Skype's sent video stream from the Touchpad is 320x240, is this working as intended?

The camera is supposed to be 1.3MP (1280x1024 I suppose?), is it possible to get at least a 0.3MP VGA (640x480) video output?
[TouchPad Development] rkaede:
its still an early step. but regardless the resolution. ive tried it with ipad2 on the other party. picture quality still acceptable.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
tried FACELOCK, i couldnt get it to capture my face, dont know if it was cause the camera is distorted or something else but no matter what i tried it wouldnt lock on to my face
[TouchPad Development] lewmur:
Why would you need FaceLock on a front facing camera? Can't you see your face?
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Isn't that the point of facelock? Is to unlock your phone with the camera? So a front facing camera is ideal correct?
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
thats what i thought FACElock was about, to have your phone open with YOUR FACE when it is LOCKED?!...

:eek: u sure your not an APPLE user? seems pretty dumb of a question! lol..

but yes to unlock my OWN phone it needs MY face.

and i would NEED a front facing camera.

:cool:
[TouchPad Development] deuse:
This is great news thanks for your hard work :)
[TouchPad Development] feydakin:
Very nice but still a bit to buggy for a daily driver. I had problems to boot the device every second or third time and than, when the screen goes off the tp just "died" and only a reboot could bring it back to life.
[TouchPad Development] MikeFRG:
Cam works so far THANKS for that!

One issue i have with the cam control panel, its not fuly dispalyed on the screen :silly: so the adjustment

is not possible because i see only 50% of that panel :(

Is there something i have to set in the main settings or is it a bug?
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
Don't quote me, but I think the dpi is off for the controls. I'm sure it will be corrected soon.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
the face lock finally worked. worked great actually pretty cool, wifi does cut in and out after a while of use but i got a wifi fixer from the market and so far its stable again.
[TouchPad Development] Dogboy53:
I can't connect to my home wifi network after flashing this rom. Clean install with only gapps flashed afterwards. Wifi enables just fine but it just sits at "Obtaining IP address..." any help?
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Try again, don't restore any data via cwm or twrp just Google sign in.
[TouchPad Development] Dogboy53:
Nope. Tried using a system wipe and reflash and just flashing over, didn't work. Ill try redownloading and see if that works.

Edit. Redownload and reflash. still no connection to wifi. it worked fine on my nightly rom.
[TouchPad Development] Dogboy53:
Got it working. Full wipe and a reboot of my network did the trick. Thanks! This is great!
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
In the layout the camera controls has minWidth set to 260dp however the preview window is being resized to 900dp so assuming that the touchpad has screen width of 1024dp (when running with 160 dpi) the camera controls are stretched to 124dp instead of 260dp.

So it seems like the minWidth setting is not working or there's some code in camera app that resizes the preview and camera window not checking the minWidth value.

However the "ICS Camera" - the port of stock ICS camera app for older android versions behave correct in this case and the controls are properly displayed.
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
can the control png files be adjusted by making the canvas size larger and making the canvas transparent that way when it gets stretched it will only stretch as far as canvas size allows it, that way the controls won't stretch out of view. You can place the extra margin to the top allowing controls to stay in view. Just a theory
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
preview4: http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/update-cm9-tenderloin-camera-preview4.zip (update to preview3)

fixed:

- camera controls

not fixed:

- video recording

- panorama mode

- rotated preview & other stuff from preview3
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
Awesome! Was the issue fixed in the code or was it fixed by editing the png files? Just curious...
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
change in the camera app code - see http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/25233/
[TouchPad Development] ranjib:
Thank you! One small step towards....
[TouchPad Development] Shahhere:
Alright dont know what the issues.

After a couple times I installed Preview 3 and logged in and Camera works. If then I put the Preview 4 my camera does not work and is all green and is borked.

Do I need to do anything prior to installing Preview 4?

Shahhere
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
try to do a clean install if wiping cache doesn't work. The code has been changed to fix controls for the camera and may cause problems by just flashing on top of preview 3.
[TouchPad Development] Shahhere:
Trying that right now. BTW, how do i get the dpi changed and stuff? Can I put that Rohan zip ontop or this rom has buildprop changes that will be overwritten?

As always thanks.

Shahhere

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Nope, broke the rom again. Cleared Cache and now again the Camera during Skype is all Green and wont come up.

Shahhere
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
You should try doing a factory wipe and install preview 4 without flashing any mods to see if it works for you.
[TouchPad Development] dirkomatic:
Thanks for this!

Completely fresh and wiped install... Skype behaves as described by Shahhere above. The camera app works correctly, though... Skype does not.

Edit:

It looks like Skype is trying to use WXGA mode instead of SXGA mode. If I exit, then go back into the Skype call using the notification area, it works! But then I rotated the touchpad and it locked up and rebooted :(

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

So, I can consistently get the Skype to work by using the back arrow and then reconnecting to the call using the notification area, but after a few minutes the camera seems to revert to the other mode... So it's almost working.

Thanks for all the work on getting the Touchpad to be an awesome Android device!
[TouchPad Development] Izeltokatl:
Did Skype work ok for you on V3? Works fine for me, haven't updated just yet.

Sent from my HP Touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] dirkomatic:
Unfortunately, I didn't try it before the update...
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Use preview 3 and camera Ics from the market. You can see the whole panel.
[TouchPad Development] dirkomatic:
Just installed 3 back without wiping and Skype works. Of course the camera panel still has its issue, but I'll just install Camera ICS as mentioned above. Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] crhylove:
Skype worked in 3. Haven't tried 4 yet.

Sent from fat n creamy tenderloin.
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
sorry guys, I have accidentally broken skype in preview4.

fixed in preview5: http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/update-cm9-tenderloin-camera-preview5.zip (install on top of preview3, don't need to flash preview3 if you're running preview4)
[TouchPad Development] dirkomatic:
Thanks. I'll get this installed tonight to test.

Awesome job making CM9 work on the Touchpad!
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Camera ICS works perfect except panoramic but we really don't need that with a front camera.
[TouchPad Development] Shahhere:
No need to wipe cache or anything?

Shahhere
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
I flashed preview 4 and got the 'blue screen of death' on nearly every boot. When I managed to get into my OS, my camera could not be found within the camera app, and my Touchpad would restart often. I installed preview 4 after wiping the dalvik cache and the cache in ClockworkMod.

I love the work you put in Dorregaray, but unfortunately I seem to be doing something wrong. Should I reflash my CM9 Nightly, then flash preview 3 and then preview 5?
[TouchPad Development] detdett:
This.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
booted in recovery

wiped cache

wiped dalvik

re installed Preview 3

rebooted recovery

flashed Preview 5

rebooted

worked first time

so far so good

i did check video camera.. it dont freeze or lock up.. but i dont think it saves the video

not sure if that was fixed or not.. but i do see the camera buttons now in the camera app, as i didnt before in 3.

for panoramic pics, use PANORAMA, worked great!!
[TouchPad Development] Lothaen:
Is it not difficult to do pano pics with a front camera?

Apart from of your face of course! :)
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
i mean its easier with PANORAMA cause it takes the pics as you move (similar to the one on IHPONE5)
[TouchPad Development] rkaede:
agree with u. how wide our face can it be.

remember those frontcamera are meant for videochat.

i dont find it convenience to take picture using tablet even they have back camera or 7 inch in size.
[TouchPad Development] brookssw:
What do you do when you get a blue screen, then use home + vol up, get a black screen, and it won't boot anymore?

Edit: Power + home combination while plugged in (might have worked unpugged too, i just happened to be plugged in) got me back up and running
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
preview6 - working video recording: http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/update-cm9-tenderloin-camera-preview6.zip

install as incremental update on preview3 (4 or 5)

panorama mode is disabled as it requires rear camera
[TouchPad Development] nicsptl:
Video recording is fix in stock app thats great news. I just test it and works like charm. Small Bug is that video recording didnt work with third party apps like uCam. Thanks man for your efforts you are amazing. -:)
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
hi:

i have semi-followed android for our device..

i have not installed because many things did not work.

stable wifi is a must and

skype + camera is a must for me.

now that the camera is fixed and skype video is supported, does that mean that the mic works?

i do not remember what still doesnt work. it seems that from links posted i do not see a defined list of things that dont work..

i cannot say how much i admire all the devs who work on projects that the rest of us cannot do.

thanx
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
the mic is working too
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
i can now save video.. but dont have audio to it?

anyone else?

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

nevermind audio workd.. a little off sync with audio but still great to see!!!!!

thanks!
[TouchPad Development] jeff b:
Running the latest nightly of CM9

Downloaded preview 3 and update 6

used goo manager to install both (at the same time but preview3 first) and wipe cache and davlik

So far so Good! still had to remove skype and reinstall before it saw the camera. Been running the last 3 hours with no issues. Also, I was watching a webex meeting on my tablet, and the camera worked in webex.

Can take pictures with stock camera. (first preview rotated) and video.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
in 5 yes you can use stock with pic.. update to preview 6 to get video workin. first picture is rotated after that it goes back to normal.
[TouchPad Development] tichs:
after getting all this to work there is nothing left for a cm9 final build
[TouchPad Development] jeff b:
Sorry, it is preview 6.........and video works!
[TouchPad Development] flamand:
install question

Just a quick question: after a data/cache/dalvik wipe, can I install in CWM over Milestone 6? Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
Ofcourse not
[TouchPad Development] sheedatali:
BTW, well done. When is it is expected that Camera Fix will be merged to CM9/10 ?
[TouchPad Development] rkaede:
here we go again
[TouchPad Development] bananagranola:
FYI: asking for ETAs is generally frowned upon here, since the devs are working in their free time and don't need the pressure. The snarky answer when someone asks is "two weeks." The last time that happened we filled several pages with nonsense.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
im gonna say give EVERYTHING major a month before asking. cause you might get little code merging but you might loose the whole left side of your screen just cause.. so even if they merged it will take days of testing and what not to determine if EVERY little thing is considered stable.. best bet is to follow one of them on twitter or something.
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Great job on this fix, and the HP Touchpad Android roms altogether. It is a great feat indeed to see Developers working together and for free nonetheless. I greatly appreciate everyone who has put time in this from tweaks to full roms I thank-you again!
[TouchPad Development] bananagranola:
Or just, you know, don't ask at all... :)
[TouchPad Development] flamand:
So could someone point me to where directions are for installing? Or just outline it for me? Do I have to go back acmeuninstaller?
[TouchPad Development] sheedatali:
I completely understand. I did not mean to imply any pressure. Since the progress on driver was good i asked the question. I am just happy there is a breakthrough. If it takes time to merge, so be it. Hell we already waited over a year for this so can certainly wait more.
[TouchPad Development] fdavila17:
If I'm coming from another Rom should I just install preview 5? Or preview 3 first? Sorry I read and didn't see if it was asked before
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
if coming from a different rom

nandroid back up

fresh wipe

clean all cache (regular & dalvik)

install 3

(you can either flash next step or, reboot back to recovery then flash next step)

install 6 (video works on that one)

reboot and enjoy

then reboot
[TouchPad Development] fdavila17:
So.you telling me that I have to go back and flash like.tha latest cm9 build first? I'm coming from the remix Rom
[TouchPad Development] brookssw:
Foe all those wanting installation instructions

Factory reset

Wipe caches

Install preview 3

Install preview 5

Reboot

Voila!

If you get a blue screen, hold down power and home buttons at the same time until it reboot.
[TouchPad Development] LoqOs195:
I'm in Preview 3 and I use Camera JB+ and picture preview is unrotated, it looks like it should be and the panorama mode works also, in this new P6 I think our touchpad is now a fully functional ANDROID tablet like the other ones :D thanks for all the devs!

[TouchPad Development] ph3d:
Excellent work mate - been testing this all week with skype - works great!

Thanks for all the hard work - are you planning on doing any further work on jb rom for hp touchpad or you sticking with ics?

Myself will be ics for a long time I believe until everything is fully working like in ICS again none of this would be possibly without you so much kudos!
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
For all the people asking about using this fix with other roms, you can't just flash over anything else besides cm9, what you'll need to try is copy all the lib files aka .so and the new camera app to whatever rom you want and reboot then try, if it doesn't work then it doesn't work and may require a rewrite of some code.
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
where do i find p6? i just see p3 and p5 in orig post

thanx
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
here: http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/update-cm9-tenderloin-camera-preview6.zip

forgot to update OP
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
If you want the working camera on other rom you have to built it manually and patch the sources. The procedure for CM9 is described here: https://github.com/Dorregaray/cm9-tenderloin-camera-build

I'm not planning switching to JB. I don't have enough disk space to download another android repo. However the camera patches should be easily portable to JB (the camera API is the same).
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
It's much more than that too! It also includes, for example, kernel level source code changes.

One might have more success merging Dorregaray's Preview 3 and Preview 6, followed by

very carefully

substituting packages from your current favorite ROM. In effect, this comes up with your own custom 'mashable'/'remix' ROM. I would only recommend this approach for those pretty familiar with this type of 'kitchen' approach to modifying ROMs.
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
hi:

installed latest cm9 , then flashed p3 then flashed p6..

things went smooth but i get some error :: "clock has stopped working".. but seems like it still works..

can i fix this notification?

i read that hardware acceleration is still not enabled. is it fixed now?

should i ask questions related to this rom here or in the Q&A section..

thanx
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
try rebooting and/or cleaning the dalvik/cache from recovery

do you mean system composition (c2d/gpu) or the video decoding/games graphic acceleration? the system composition is set to cpu by default as according to Dalingrin the c2d causes artefacts in some cases and gpu is slower than cpu but you can change those values in build.prop.

the video decoding and graphics acceleration in games is already there
[TouchPad Development] Shahhere:
Hello Dorregaray,

How would I increase the DPI to 120 with this rom? I dont have the TP with me right now but is the buildprop modified for market and gaming compatibility?

Regards and thanks again for your work. My family can now Skype with my newborn son :)

Shahhere
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
i spose i mean "video decoding/games graphic acceleration"

i did wipe the davik from your suggestion..but after a re-boot i get same notification ..

thanx
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
it should be already there

hmm, weird, haven't seen that, maybe clear the app data from settings
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
well, i couldnt find anything in settings for "clear the app data"

searches pretty much say the same drill down location as you .. but oh well only pops up after a reboot.

thats ok..

is this "video decoding/games graphic acceleration" done automatically as needed or am i sposed to setup something that i didnt see anywhere?

i like this alot.. no hassles atall to use and seems like everything is finished and complete..

thanx

[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I believe the instruction to clear data in the app means you go to settings > applications and when you click on the app you need to clear data you should see a choice to "clear data". Hope this helps.
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
hi:

thanx for the replies regarding graphics acceleration and "clear data"..

i did do what you pointed to, Nomad1600.

if the clock is listed, i missed it.. i have not rebooted lately to see if anything has changed..

i been tweaking my personal tastes to this rom.

i got this machine last dec.

i did try CM for a lil while then.

so unfinished that i couldnt use it..

this ROM is great. i just wanna use a machine w/o hassles and everything here is working and polished..

i like the devs much more than HP.. w/o the devs here, the thouchpad would not be useful atall.

i cant say enough good things about them..

one thing did pop up this morning... at bottom bar, there was new mail notification .. when i clicked on it,

it said that email isnt working -- like the clock says when i reboot..

i been searching about this...

i have one general question:: using webos the touchpad will not let me download from filehoster sites

will TP let me do this?

i have not searched this question much. it does seem that i still cannot do it w/o some sort of work arounds

EDIT:: i did find some apps that will supposedly do this.. i gonna try out..

EDIT :: I finally found out about clearing cache and or data from settings on android.. fixed my clock error box and also one about email not working..

been tweaking things to learn about android

thanx

Installed the new ICS leak the other day. Works great but some apps that require root access aren't letting me use them...like titanium backup and rootdim and battery calibration. I am rooted because root explorer let's me edit build.prop, but something is going on.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Atrix 2] FluffyCow:
Try re running root.bat(windows) or root.sh(think that's it for *nix). I had thought I was rooted but had to run it again.

I had the same problem. Used OTA root protector in superuser and after official OTA super was there but did not work properly. I rerooted using the A2 root bat and now superuser is working properly.
