I forgot to take the time to thank the OP and others that are helping out with this mod. You have done a wonderful thing. Nice find indeed.
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
I used Goo Gone and Q-tips and then I started to use a small screwdriver to remove the "softer" paint that the Q-tips wouldn't get.

Bionix 1.6 will support the camera out of the gate if you haven't heard.
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Really???!!! I am a big Bionix fan and now running 1.4. That will be perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
Where did you hear that? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
One of the posts he made. Too lazy to find it. :p

I'll go in on someones order. Just PM with details. $$$ is ready to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Are you talking about the i9000 camera.apk? That enables the FFC alone?
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Nope. Almost positive I saw a post saying he had put in support for the FFC. The i9000 Camera wouldn't control that (I don't think). I'll go searching now. Will update.

Wow...found it right away.
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
awesome! thanks for taking the time to find it :) I cant wait for 1.6. Do you know if theres an estimate of when it will be ready?
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Yeah I went and tried to find more but you beat me to it. That will be sweet and I guess it sounds like this will be something I can count on having support for.

We have some awesome devs.

Having a hard time PM'ing :confused: I am in the MD/VA/DC area if anyone has an extra camera. Let me know how much and I can pick up at a location of your choosing. I am in the 20873 area!
[Vibrant Android Development] spigatelli:
So based on this

http://gizmodo.com/5654657/t+mobile-mytouch-is-t+mobiles-first-android-phone-with-video-chat

We should have an app that we can port over for our devices once the build for this is released. That would be fantastic!

It is my understanding that the only video chat is for Verizon only, correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_hd:
well if i dont get one from the person i'm talking to now we can order them, i'm in VA 20147

To those who have opened up their phone already, is there or is there not a warranty seal that's broken upon opening?
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
That is great news. I am loving his 1.4 ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
Anyone doing this mod better not care about a warranty real.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I think having an extra camera and a hole in the paint is a dead giveaway that something has been done.
[Vibrant Android Development] christeeezy:
Yes, I realize that. I'd still like to know though.

He just told you....

i live in san diego.I was wondering where i can buy a i9k camera. anybody in san diego that can sell me one.?
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Looks like I'm going to place an order. I will be taking one, and Only Loki will take one.

I'm in Chicago, so looking for someone close to ship the third to. Price will be $25. This covers the cost of the camera + shipping for me to get it and shipping to get it to you.

PM if you want it. First come first served.

HOLY CRAP

Minimum order has been bumped to 10!

Forget everything I just said. I can't afford that craziness.

We need someone to take the risk of buying a bunch that can setup a private storefront for XDA members.:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
that's gay

Either we need 10 people to get together or, i'm getting rid of my Vibrant.

LOL

:mad: :(

:D

Thank you for answering the question :cool:

Shipping

Hi everyone I'm pretty sure we all still waiting for them to shipped the cami was one eras i think of the first one to other them because my minimum order was 2 i email them today and this is what i got.

I think they meant hold on plz china is still shipping them to us just wait a little longer while everyone from xda developers order more so we can order in bulk and we get a discount while we stiff you guys OK.
[Vibrant Android Development] turtleoftime:
wow... what a bunch of fags... if you're ordering in bulk, the least they could do is lower the price a little bit, but no instead its the same price!

If anyone is willing to do a groupbuy they can count me in. I wish i had learned about this when it was still possible to buy one... Damn you lifehacker for being so ****ty and slow... ><
[Vibrant Android Development] pack:
I had like 6 people hit me up already about getting in on this 10 buy so i just placed the order... ill have 3 left if anyone else wants one...
[Vibrant Android Development] timsterzzz:
I'm sure one could make a little extra for their time and money by selling the extras on ebay or something. The 10 deal has put a hold on my order the time being.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] camoway:
I would like one
[Vibrant Android Development] Tarzanman:
Wow. Minimum order of 10? They must have gotten wind of this thread. Time to find a new supplier?

I am running a completely stock Vibrant. I have been waiting for 2.2 to be released before I bother with root (should save me a few steps).... so my ffc won't get used until there is a method to load 2.2 up with the drivers. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] swehes:
I'll join you on this one if you still have one.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
LOL, good luck....

at this rate I'm never going to be able to get one

:(:(:(:(
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Ouch 10!? Ok so I'm not able to contribute much in the way of development so if I can help with this I'd be happy to.

Pm me that you want a camera with an email address and I'll send you a link to pay via paypal. Once at least ten people pay I'll place an order and I'll repeat this until we all have them. I'll ship your camera to you within 2 business days of its arrival to me. (you must be in the US)

Flat rate usps shipping is $5.

Camera is $17 ish

Shipping to me is a few bucks

Cost of bubble wrap or whatever for safety.

Total $26 per camera.

No guarantees that this will work, once I've ordered no refunds for any reason. I'm not responsible if you void your warrantee, break anything, or piss off your girlfriend.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I've already been pm'd by a couple people who ordered 10 and need to sell several so if you pm me let me know if it's ok if I pass your info on. Same conditions apply but you might get it a couple days sooner.
[Vibrant Android Development] pack:
looks like im mr. popular today lol

im only setting them aside when people actually send the paypal so i still got a couple left if anyone wants one... sorry im not taking peoples word on it but i dont wanna be stuck with a bunch at the end because people said they would buy them then dont...

but anyway at this point 8 are now officially spoken for....
[Vibrant Android Development] iracope:

Um, I'm a gay homo fag and I do not condone the upping of minimum orders.

[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
I'm not too sure about that last piece he removed... with the speaker and SD card and SIM. I just left that in there used a q tip and the tiniest flat head and got mine out. Didn't see the point of un hooking more cables if I didn't have to.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bspence415:
With the ffc will it be fully functional on the stock firmware and 2.2 update?
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
Pretty sure it will not work with the stock 2.2 update whenever it releases. I could be wrong tho?
[Vibrant Android Development] Michaelr219:
yesssss!!!!!

now all i need is to get my hands on one of these cams...

i sell tmobile haha, so i might just buy 10 of them and

do charge people to do the install haha :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Bspence415:
If I can get a ffc to work I wont care for the update too much anymore just gota get a damn camera
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
Does anyone know how to remove small scratches from our screen?

Also does anyone know exactly what type of black paint t-mobile used to paint the hole? If we can figure the color out anyone who needs to send their phone in for repairs can just paint it again and remove the camera.

Sooooo any thoughts? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] knotphunnie:
I'd love one of these. PM me or shoot me an email. knotphunnie@gmail.com. I live in Georgia but I believe the usps will bring me stuff from all the other states too. ;)

Edit: got one. Thanks guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
I've Pm'd a few of you but stop posting that you need to buy a camera and just PM me instead!!! See my previous post below.

I was also trying to make sure I don't end in the hole for doing this but I'm not in it for profit so any money that I make (which probably won't be much) will be given to XDA or devs. To who will be at my discretion but I won't be keeping any for myself.
[Vibrant Android Development] pack:
Hey I just wanted to let everyone know since so many people pm;d me about the cams i ended up getting another 10 pack...

I am only selling 18 of them and have received paypal's for 15... The 3 left are first come (well first paypal) first serve.

I am doing just a straight $25 to cover the cam and shipping. (if you want 2 or all 3 it'll be cheaper) and when I send them I'll send you a tracking number so you can check it every 5 min's in excitement lol

Thanks to everyone that hit me up I'm still amazed how fast they went.

IF YOU HAVE TALKED TO ME ABOUT BUYING ONE OF MY CAMERA'S

This is for anyone who has talked to me about buying a cam from me but has not sent their paypal payment yet:

PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE SENDING YOUR PAYMENT, this way I can tell you if I even have any left.

examples:

(1) I have 1 cam left but 2 people send me a payment I will automatically refund the 2nd senders payment which will lead to confusion and most likely crying in a corner.

(2) I have 1 cam left 2 people contact me, ill tell the first person to send the payment and second person where they can get a cam... without the refunds, confusions, and sadness :/

You only need to pm me once I am going through them in order.

Thanks to everyone who made this a smooth transaction!
[Vibrant Android Development] rjscott2005:
Perhaps Tango might work for video conferencing. No ffc is required so the few who have done the mod can test it out with anyone. It's in the market and I've just installed it. If anyone wants to test their ffc, let me know. I can get screen grabs and post here.

So is the ffc working now?

And do I definitely have to change the rom? It wont work on the stock rom?

I always questioned why people quote the whole op :/ its always huge lol... anyway

if you talked to me about buying a cam from me and have not yet paid me....

DO NOT SEND ME A PAYMENT!

PM me BEFORE you send a payment

I dont know how much more clear i can make it

They may be

sold out

and if they are I will automatically refund you so please check with me first before sending a payment (I know someone saying to stop sending them money... crazy right) I just dont want paypal jewin anyone with fee's for nothing... so please CHECK WITH ME FIRST

If Im not sold out I will tell you its ok to send the payment and if I am sold out I will hook you up with someone else you can get the cam from so dont worry yourselfs :)

[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
well technically I didn't remove it, just moved it out of the way but I did have to disconnect about 4 connectors. This is actually helpful as it gives you much less chance of damaging your phone. wouldn't want to get any goo gone or solvent on the circuit board now would ya? That camera hole overflows with the stuff even if you lightly put it on a q-tip.

Better safe than sorry
[Vibrant Android Development] duce95:
i used a gel based paint remover found in lowes paint isle. its in a gold spray can. put some in a dish and used the screw driver to dip in onto the hole.
[Vibrant Android Development] paradox4286:
I didn't have a problem using a q-tip, goo-gone, and an eyeglass screw driver. Just use it lightly and let it soak, then gently scratch the paint away with the screw driver

Just an FYI regarding Global Direct Parts

I took the liberty of emailing them to figure out why they keep changing the minimum order quantity. Here is the response I just received:

The reason is the i9000 is not a model of the Samsung Galaxy S series sold by the US service providers. Our website is designed primarily to supply cellular repair shops, refurbishers, etc. The title of the product gives these experienced technicians all the required information to purchase the correct part, however, the average US retail customer may not be aware that this part is not compatible with their Samsung Galaxy S series phone. As we do not accept returns for incorrect parts, we want to assure only the repair shops knowledgeable in the various models are the likely purchasers of this product.

Regards,

Global Direct Parts

I replied back that its a bad business decision and that if they are concerned about returns then they should put some sort of disclaimer up on the product saying "all sales final. Not for use with the american galaxy s class phones" rather then keep bumping the MOD up and up. i'll post their response as soon as i get it.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Seems like they should just make it more clear that they do not accept returns and that the buyer has sole responsibility for buying the correct part instead of screwing us (people who know how to get it to work) out of getting one (easily) to play with.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
wow, I can't see why they went from 2, now > The minimum order quantity for product "OEM Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Camera Flex Cable Ribbon" is 10.

This blow's, I just got enough money to order one, now I have to order 10? wtf...
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Wow WTF I was going to order 3.. But **** ordering 10!! Thats like $170 to blow on some cameras!!
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
That's what i told them in the reply. we'll see what they say to that...
[Vibrant Android Development] MINUS Stl:
I'm sure someone here that orders will take care of you. I was going to if I would've ordered 3, but 10 is more than I need to deal with.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I was going to order 3 because of the min, I was going to send one to sombionix.. But since they just upped it to 10.. WOW

I don't want to spend my WHOLE paycheck on that :O
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
I'm sorry but I used to buy from manufacturers and wholesale distributers and they could care less about the small guy buying 100.. Much less the guy complaining about 10.. Just my 2 cents.. For the guy behind the comp that had to turn in the order tickets, an order of 5000 and an order of 10 is the same amount of work..
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I see it this way.. If they keep uping the amount then they should go slightly down on price since you are ordering in bulk
[Vibrant Android Development] pack:
I dont see how you guys can complain about global parts direct bumping the min to 10... you gotta look at it from their side... most likely their making a few bucks off each cam. A few months ago they were selling a few here but if the minimum was 10 they wouldn't of sold any... now that everyone is buying them their still only making a few bucks a cam and its costing them more to ship/pay employees/ect... because their sending out tons of 2/3 packs. so what do they do? well simple they did what any business owner would do that wants to make a profit... thats right a profit i hate to break it to you all but they did not open their business just to please us by selling the cam to mod our phones... they did it to make money and this is a opportunity for them to do so. I guess all im trying to say is if you were in your shoes you would do the same thing...

and come on 10 isnt really that bad.... i bought 20 yesterday and their ALL gone but if anyone else is gonna do that i suggest you do before they bump it to 100
[Vibrant Android Development] junglizste:
Who has a camera they'd like to sell?
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
I keep seeing posts that people are looking for cameras and don't want to buy 10....so DON'T.

I posted this a bit back and I'll post it again.

I've already got a bunch of orders. Pm me with your email and I'll respond via paypal so you can pay, then I'll place a large order and distribute the cameras once they get to me.

Edit: oh and I'm not in this for profit, just trying to help. Any money I have left over will be given to XDA or our awesome devs.
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
Have no fear folks when these actually ship, and get delivered, you will see them in single units, with BIN options on ebay.
[Vibrant Android Development] MINUS Stl:
Well said. I think the main reason people are complaining is the fact of having to shell out $200+ up front. Hell, I would've if I didn't have bills coming up and had the expendable income right now. Unfortunately, this being a hobby comes after real life expenses (and a wife that would've shot this idea down :p).

Granted, one could make their money back real quick by selling their order right away.

Thats true.... Im proof i bought 10 and they sold within the first hour so i bought 10 more just to help out the other people who already pm'd me... I ended up selling all 20 yesterday without a problem... and im still getting pm's asking if i have any left...

[Vibrant Android Development] danr238:
Sucks that you aren't getting one seeings how you really pushed this over the edge as far as development. Hopefully someone sends you one that had said a few days ago....."hey I just ordered 2 and 1 goes to you Eugene" or whatever they say. I am buying another guys that he ordered but am contemplating just having him send it to you so development can continue on this and just get in on whoever starts the next group buy.
