I'm not sure if this is the right place but I have an extra I9000 camera and I'm looking to get rid of it.

Send me a pm.

[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
The pictures were taken with very low light, whit NIGHT SCENE MODE. I think that the pictures were compress to fit in XDA site, when I uploaded. Just keep in mind that when you shoot pictures whit NIGHT SCENE MODE you have to be very still if not the pictures seems a little blurry. BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE THE BANDING IS NOT ANYMORE WITH THE Vibrant 4G camera in our phones. :D

The only problem I have with the 4G camera is that the FFC is sideways, I changed the build.prop and works for the first time, but when I switched cameras back for second time FFC still sideways but not banding at all in FF Camera or Rear camera.

PS. I trying to upload a video I took with basicly no light, but I can't uploaded. If anyone knows how, please let me know and I do it.

:D

Waiting for some kind soul to make a flashable zip of the 4g cam files...willing to bugtest if needed....

[Vibrant Android Development] da_dragon2k3:
just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the new 4g cam on a vibrant running either of the 2.2.1 roms godi or frost?
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Sooooooo, where do we get these new 4G cams??
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
Right now the only place is an sgs4g. in about two months samsung will release parts to suppliers.

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

Yeah, that's the funny thing! Except I'm not laughing. I pm'd someone who loves to make flashable zips, told him the issue, gave him a link to the very page the files were provided on and...nothing. I really don't get it. This was back on page 21 or 22 for those of you who don't read. A greatly reduced banding is fine for me until the Vibrant 4g cam becomes available. It's the best solution for those of us who are inexperienced. Of course, I can't get Birger's ACS tool to work with Windows 7, 64 bit so I can't do it myself and I'm getting no help with that either. SUX!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Just an update, I flashed Bionix frost with the 4G camera I'm testing now and BINGO FFC sideways issue is gone. That means 4G Camera+2.2.1 ROM is a match made in heaven. No Rear Camera banding, No FFC sideways, works with Tango, OOVOO, and QIK.

:D

PS. The sad part is that I need to put back the camera in my daughters Vibrant Plus 4G.

:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] jhepoy:
Could you please take close up picture of the 4G cam? So that when it becomes available for purchase (ie: eBay) we know how it looks like. Specifically the number codes on the small chip. Thanks.. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
So it has been the camera this full time, ha. Nice.
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
Is anyone considering the idea that we might be able to flash the 4g cam firmware to the I9000 camera? If the cameras are exchangeable it's not likely that the hardware is all that different....

Just my two cents...

Sorry, just read back and saw that it had been tried...oops.

Anyone tried the 4g firmware apk and the Vib original cam apk?
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
I'm wondering the same thing.....
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Thats great news! Now what am I to do with this unused camera....
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
You still can't get HD(1280x720) recording.

Ha!

:D

iWin.

:rolleyes:

:(:(
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
soooo when the new camera comes out who wants to throw in with me haah
[Vibrant Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
me i am! if the old ffc doesnt have a fix. i would like 2 though =)
[Vibrant Android Development] Human.debris420:
I'm down for buying a cam with you. Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Nope, I use the camera apk. that is in the BIONIX FROST ROM and now I have 1280X720 recording perfectly.

I WIN!!!!!!!

:D

PS. Last night I was using the FFC MOD I posted few times in the last FFC thread and here a couple more times. This morning before I came to work I took the camera apk. and the camera firmware apk out of the BIONIX FROST ROM, and copy and paste those back into the SYSTEM applications and BINGO I got 1280X720 working on this baby.

The ROM plus the 4G camera is more than enough to get 1280X720, I make the mistake to flash the FFC MOD before I check if that works without the flashable FFC MOD.

Too bad that my daughter told me this morning that she wants her camera back in her new phone. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
oh ok. good to hear

iStillWIN

it was hardware!

hahaahah

:rolleyes:

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
I give you that you win, that was a hardware problem.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Actually its not hardware persay, the i9k cam works perfect in the 4g. the 4g has software to compensate for the banding ours doesnt.

If your feeling generous.

[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
So now that the source code had been released for the galaxy 4g,, can this maybe help our i9k camera's working on our vibrants,, if the camera works on the 4g,, we should be able to get em working on ours, no?
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Well during my test the I9000 camera works perfectly on the Vibrant 4G except that the front face camera is sideways. Since my daughter's 4G phone is not rooted I can't change the buil.pro to check if you change the build.pro resolved the problem.

I'll switch the cameras back this afternoon and check if my I9000 camera works with the Bionix Frost with no banding, I doubt it but I will try anyway because I have to put that camera back into my daughters phone.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Great...eagerly awaiting the result!
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Just so you know, Frost not only includes new FFC drivers (they are larger than what's in Bionix and other roms, but there are also new camera libraries also.

Something to take into account if you are extracting stuff from Frost to test in other Roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] syedfaz26:
I installed Bionix 2.2.1 to test the i9000 cam on my vibrant. Results were good compare to my Axura 2.2.5.9. FFC display is bigger but still the picture is side way. Any fix for this? Banding still there.
[Vibrant Android Development] smali26:
THANKS!!! I WILL CHECK IT OUT. MY ORDER SHOULD BE ARRIVING TODAY FROM

www.youtube.com/MobileTechVideos . I will give the install a shot and let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks Again

UPDATE

I received the camera and installed it. I went to the camera app installed and when I look at it it shows lines. however when I snap a picture its clear.

also copied the FFC MOD zip to the SD card and installed using CWM recovery. I tried it a few times and i get the below error.

E:failure at line 2

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

UPDATE:

Figured it out. it was the USB cable. i remounted everything in CWM recovery and presto it worked.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] iwasblown:
u need drivers for the vibrant to change the value of camera to display alignment

probable from the vibrant 4g
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
The problem with the image displaying sideways has been discussed many times in the thread. The solution is on the first page.

i made a post here the other day that i emailed GLOBALDIRECT and i just got the reply from them...

Robert,

We do not have these currently, however, we are working on getting them on our site ASAP. We will email you a link as soon as we have it up.

Thank you for your informative email!!

Regards,

Global Direct Parts

Can't wait to get this and be done with the banding...
[Vibrant Android Development] superNES64:
Awesome! Do you think that if we were all to email them they would try to get the parts faster??
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Pull the drivers from Frost, or just flash it. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Okay as I promise, I switched cameras already. I put the I9000 camera back in my phone :( And the 4G camera in my daughters Vibrant Plus 4G phone :o. I'm using BIONIX FROST ROM, and the results are that the FFC is sideways, and the Rear Camera still have a very, very, very, very minor banding. The problem with this is that if we change the build.prop to fix the FFC sideways then we loose the progress in the Rear camera (I already tested), the banding comes back bad enough to be noticeable. I'm attaching few pictures taken with my I9000 camera using night mode in very low light condition. You guys judge if they are good enough. Personally I think they are very good compare with what I have before with any other ROM.

[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
i don't really think that would speed up the process of them getting the ffc. patience my friend. we'll get it soon on enough. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
Can you post some that DONT have night mode enabled?

nevermind just read you said you put it back in the other phone. Im just wondering how they differ
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
How about we negotiate a group buy? There has to be enough folks interested in this to justify getting a decent price on these....helps soften the blow for many of us who already invested in the i9000 camera already!

Perhaps there is a society for kids with crappy phone cameras that would benefit from a box of i9000 cameras? "kameras for kids" ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
Lol...i would donate mine to that charity. Maybe when they get the cameras we can all do a group buy. Knowing global they will probably have a minimum of like 3 or more to get them. We'll just have wait and see.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
We should just figure out who ever they buy them from and get like 50 from them, ha. Set up an amazon store... id buy one.
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
I might do that on EBAY. I will order a bunch and sell them on there, also I will see about putting a special code for a discount for you guys here.

Can the FFC be installed in the Samasung Fascinate for Verizon? And are there any developers with ROMs that support it? I couldnt find any thread in the Fascinate forums after searching
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
Still patiently waiting..

to see if anyone might be kind enough to make a flashable zip with the 4g cam files so we can see if that reduces the banding enough for most regular uses. I don't personally care if the cam view is sideways as long as it's useable.

I'd try it myself, but I don't think I know enough and I surely don't want to mess up my ROM...

Pretty please?..anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Kelly - since you put so much work into trying to resolve this issue, I say your idea is perfect, and you can make a few bucks for your effort whilst giving everyone a little discount on the cameras.

Perhaps you could start a new thread when it's 100% confirmed that the 4G camera (plus suitable software ripped as a flashable zip from the frost ROM) solves this issue with option to buy from your store and instructions on the fix.

Cheers!
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
The second picture doesn't have the night mode ON.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Just make a NANDROID BACK UP of your current ROM, and then flash BIONIX FROST and you will see big difference, it's almost no banding in low light condition, and in regular light or bright light is not banding at all.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
good idea there my friend...long time ebayer here so i'll definitely get one from you...we just have to wait for them to go on sale from globardirect. i'm a try to search for a different wholesaler online also.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
1. No.

2. No.
[Vibrant Android Development] syedfaz26:
so basically you used vibrant with the I9000 FFC and installed the frost rom and that minimize the banding. If that is the case, don't you think its the Rom currently installed on our phone causing this issue( Those not have the frost rom) and not the hardware ?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
I was thinking about doing this. But I don't deserve the extra cash.. I think kelly should do it. You deserve it for all the efforts and keeping us updated.. I didn't lose hope for the fix because of you.. Although it was indeed a hardware issue.. I wouldn't have known or followed this thread if it wasnt for you. So I thank you for that and all the hard work put into trying to help the hundreds of others eagerly waiting for this day to come.

You sir, have served this community well. Kudos to you kelly..
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
What I gathered from this thread is the new Galaxy S 4g camera fixes EVERY issue that you guys have been facing with the I9000 camera? And that we are basically waiting for the wholesale retailer to get them in stock from Samsung?
[Vibrant Android Development] superNES64:
Basically. (Well except it still shows sideways but that already has a fix.) :D
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
When I was doing my test the 4G camera Front Face shows sideways in any other ROM than Bionix Frost, in Bionix Frost the front face camera is Okay. The I9000 in Bionix Frost is almost none banding in the Rear Camera, but the Front Face Camera is sideways.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
I tried to bite my tongue but i just have to ask, ha.

Why on some roms is the banding worse then other, I dont understand why if its a hardware issue, frost that is based off the 4g reduces the banding.... and also eugenes macnut also had less banding when it was bassed off of the i9000.
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
That's what I'm wondering about...anyone done a dif on the cam files yet?

I still don't think it's solely a hardware thing..more likely driver config.

Maybe I'll have time to look tonight.....
[Vibrant Android Development] checktheemails:
I will be buying a sgs4g camera as soon as they are available.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

So are you able to port that software from the 4g that compensates for the banding to the 3g Vibrant? It'd be nice not to have to buy another cam.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Well I don't think it is bc of this, the 4g and frost are both 2.2.1. I don't think that 2.2 can support the drivers that the 4g has. I have tried on the latest non frost bionix and it force closed the camera. I will try to pull all the frost cam files tomorrow and try, I used a 4g sys dump for the last test.

If your feeling generous.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9LJGLQUYYDZR2
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
So what we need is a stable 2.2.1 rom
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
+1

Exactly! If installing a future stable 2.2.1 ROM with the sideways fix resolves almost all of the banding issues, then a new camera is really only for the perfectionists....when I want a perfect picture, its not going to be on my phones camera!

I'm thinking we should see this resolved in software within the near future...or as close to resolved that I'm happy with it. :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] checktheemails:
lol or for people that didn't jump on the ffc bandwagon and early adopt the mod.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
true true... But a lot of us have been in here since the first few weeks and have had the camera for a while.... I got mine like the 2nd week of it being found. I also only paid 25 bucks on the camera.... so yeah i don't really care ha

p.s. I have no concept of time, I honestly have no clue when I got the camera I just know its been a while, haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
LOL. i might sell my vibrant :o
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

Got it! If I have to install Frost then so be it! It's not a money issue with me, I just don't want to waste this cam sitting on the shelf for 4 months!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
It's the early adopters that pave the way for progression....and I'm glad I was part of it. The camera was $25 delivered which is literally nothing compared to the amount of paid hours I waste on XDA each week! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
I have already inquired about buying the new camera from the 4g. They have contacted me and said they should have in the next 2 weeks (they hope) So, As soon as they do I will buy the min order it looks like I may have to buy a bunch, but I ll update as soon as i have more
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
i fixed it for you...
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
so much for the "the fix is very close".

the fix being buying a new camera. lol

i might just buy a new dual core phone that i dont have to extensively modify just for it to work the way it's supposed to.

I was one of the early adopters and since i realized I dont need the FFC as much as the rear cam, I will stick with the stock camera for now, i have my netbook anyways.

ENOUGH OF THE RANT

Im glad the 4G camera is compatible, thanks to kellylewis for trying his best to fix the banding. too bad there is no "code" fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
are you talking about globalpartsdirect? if you are that's good news. i emailed them a few days ago and i posted their reply here a few pages back. all they said was that they are trying to get it asap and that they'll email me with the link whenever they get it up on their site. anyway i hope they get it soon. keep us posted. :)

What do I need to change in the build.prop so that my front camera is not rotated 90 degrees in Bionix FROST?
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
Its in the op I followed changing the build to GT-I9000
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
Thanks for the reply but changing it to GT-I9000 and SPH-D700 didn't work. It's still rotated 90 degrees. I might have to take FROST off and go with another ROM because this is driving me crazy!!
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Well I didn't get the frost cam files to work. Im going to talk to team whiskey about it and see what I can get done.

[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidOS.FTW:
I'll return you some of your investment Kelly, by purchasing a camera for sure. I just ordered one of the i9000 cameras from www.mobiletechvideos.com (still waiting on it to arrive) the same week the SGS4G came out because I was hoping it would simply be a matter of ripping some drivers/software from the SGS4G to get the camera working correctly on the Vibrant but, if a new piece of hardware will give me and my lady, like factory operation of both the front and rear camera, I'll shell out the clams to make it happen.

[Vibrant Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
Has anyone tried turning the focus back ring to the "original position" on the i9000 camera, for frost? since we're seeing things sideways. or does the focus ring have nothing to do with the picture being sideways? just a thought
