[Vibrant Android Development] misteryibox:
okay... so... im back on d9rc3 and i flashed the files you posted exel... and the front works sometimes, as long as you press it right away a couple times once the camera loads.. but if you try to load up the back cam, it just fails... although it worked for a random 5 minutes... and im sure it will randomly work sometimes...

other than that... im beginning to think from all the posts about ver1 that its most likely it... cause when i did have it working for those 5 miinutes... it did have lines and flashed green and purple sometimes... any thoughts on how to fix that? or is that the reason why people get ver2?
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Yeah, the reason people get rev2 is there's supposedly no banding. (Lines, etc.)

I'm hoping you're wrong though.. really looking forward to that camera, hasn't gotten here yet. I:
[Vibrant Android Development] misteryibox:
i hope im wrong too my friend.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Have you tried opening the phone again and placing the camera again?

Mind posting a list of ROMs you've tried? I'm going to try on CM7 first, then ICS, then maybe froyo ROMs.
[Vibrant Android Development] misteryibox:
i'v tried... app-drawer miui v6, and d9rc3. i will try reinstaling the cam, not sure how that'll help but ill do that and report back..
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Any progress, misteryibox?
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
try to wipe camera in titanium and then see if it works. this has happened to me before on miui and i thought it was broke until i wiped. the only out of the box ffc that worked for me was 360's smartness meets smoothness. the other 360's didnt work out of the box for some reason and i had to use platypus kernel. another one which i used with bali i had to also use the ffc support zip. hope it works out for you
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
I got the front camera to work on ICS, but the rear camera just shows a black screen, strange.. as if it's not being detected.
[Vibrant Android Development] gilbertbold:
I buy a Rev. 2 FFC and have banding this is normal? im new in this.
[Vibrant Android Development] loganthered:
Alright, so I determined the camera module I have in this Vibrant is a 959v unit, so I guess that's Rev 1? Anyway all the images it spits out are rotated and I've done just about anything and everything I can think of to rotate it BACK. Tried the modules from CM9 for the Galaxsymtd build and got nothing. Even transferred the camera.apk and the permissions files. Rear camera works fine. Please help me out.
[Vibrant Android Development] razredge:
I have the same issue. I can't find any solution to this at all. I didn't think there was a difference between the 959v and the i9000 cameras but iI guess so. Any help?
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Actually asked this in another thread, I have a Galaxy S 4G camera. :p

I'll look around and report my findings.

I'm thinking to get the Galaxy s 4g if this thing is not fix, please!!! Don't make me buy it!!!! Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
We are comparing the kernels and seeing if maybe we can incorporate some of the things. Heres the thing though, we dont have the drivers for the ffc and there set up for the i9k not the vibrant. Maybe well get lucky who knows.

If your feeling generous.

I have a few questions.

Will the source for the Vibrant 4G be released when the Vibrant 4G comes out or a few days later?

Should I get the i9000 FFC or will I be able to get the FFC from the Vibrant 4G when it released?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
you're going to have to wait a while after the 4g is released to be able to buy those cameras
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Would you recommand waiting for the Vibrant 4G FFC or is it the same as the i9000?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
that is up to you.

Personally I'm waiting for the Optimus 2x

Okay. Thanks Guys! I've been waiting so long, I just can't wait anymore. So, ima just get the i9000 camera
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
wayne u dont need the i9000 camera if the rear camera won't work normally. it has been taking very crappy photos since i installed mine last november. i switched back to the normal vibrant camera for now (or will stick to it until the next galaxy s drops)
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Ya. I decided to just wait until the Vibrant 4G camera is available.
[Vibrant Android Development] Human.debris420:
Alright, so I just installed my ffc (i9000 cam) and it works fine. Banding on the rear camera sucks but is do able. I have a question tho (any one who could help a noob would be greatly appreciated) how can I get the camera app from the epic, captivate or fascinate(i dont know which one has the ffc). I dont know how to push an apk. I know one of them has a soft key in the upper left corner to switch between the rear and front camera. Thanks to anyone who can help me :)

Ps. I'm running bionix v 1.2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
waiting in the tech world is not the best thing to do.

with the speed of releases, you'll always be waiting.

I'm selling my vib as soon as the Optimus 2x is close.

unless I have enough money to keep both.

[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
download sgstools from the market and look through the options and just use the camera in there everything will be as you want it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
The Vibrant 4G is out! Anyone know when the source will be released to fix the banding issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
samsung has up to 60 days from release.

and no one said it WOULD fix the banding issue.

It might, but it is not certain.

Don't hold your breath.

Download sgs tools from the market and within it you'll find the hacked camera app. That's the easiest way.

But you will loose 720 video recording the opting is there but it force closes

Hey guys. I'm running bionix v 1.2.1 and i'm having some trouble. I installed the camera and installed the I9000 camera .apk but when i open it it says camera failed. Just to make sure it wasnt the camera i installed the mirror app. THe mirror app works just fine, the front camera works great and its in focus when using the mirror app but when i try to use it from any other app it says camera failed. ive tried changing the build.prop file, i also tried the FFC_MOD.zip file and nothing seems to work, but for some reason the mirror app does. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
No the app is called "sgs tools" and if you look in the "upgrade stock apps" option in the app you can click on "hacked camera" and click ok and your done.

What is lost is 1280x720, 720x480 can still be used.
[Vibrant Android Development] Human.debris420:
Couldn't find the tool app but the zip file gave me exactly what I wanted :) thank you all. I love the android family you guys are awesome.

Hey, I take offense to that! I'm allowed out too, lol!:D:D:D:D
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Okay I'm attempting to install the camera now, but It's so hard to remove the paint, I'm using goo gone, is there a faster way? Could I drill a hole?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
yeah you can!

that is if you want to mutilate your beautiful screen!

:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] fearmonkey:
Drill? I guess if you want to weaken the glass or let water in. I just used a jewelers flat screwdriver to scrape the crap off and a bit of denatured alcohol
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
Patience is the key!!
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
You need to get a lil goo gone on the spot and let it sit.. then wipe it with a little more and let it sit. it will work a lot easier that way.

Yeah i remember that too.... but I dont have it and i could not find it, didnt feel like telling them tuff luck its out there somewhere, haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] msandovaliii:
I got my goo gone at walmart right next to the adhesives.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonyolea:
So, still nothing? No fix at all? :(
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:

FFC banding

Glad to know I haven't gone totally crazy. BTW, over on the Frost thread one guy mentioned he had very little banding on his rear cam, but, of course, have to take that with a grain of salt. There were no details.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] jonyolea:
I installed frost just to check the camera and the banding is still there, I guess there's nothing to do about this :(
[Vibrant Android Development] magix200:
There os a teardown of the samsung galaxy S 4G
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
That may have been me. I have had very little banding since I installed Frost, compared to what I experienced using BionixV. Yes, banding is still present but for me at least it's improved greatly.

Re: Front Facing camera image problems

by KarlHegbloom » Mon Feb 21, 2011 8:12 am

"I have solved the banding problem on my phone. I downloaded the firmware for the Korean SHW-M110S, and extracted the camera firmware files from it. I used adb to push the SE firmware to the /system/firmware directory, and also pushed the cameradata files. Then from Bionix-v-1.2, used the firmware update dialer code to enter firmware update mode. (*#34971539#) I updated the camera firmware using the phone to cam flash button, and rebooted. Now I have a clear image in the rear facing camera.

I do not know how to create a flashable zip from those files. Where can I learn how to do that, and where and how can I upload the finished product? Or, where can I upload the necessary files for someone to create the flashable zip from them?"

[Vibrant Android Development] mrqu1cky:
I tested the firmware from SHW-M110S tonight. I tested both the SE and OP firmware files. The OP files seemed slightly better to my eye but I may be fooling myself. I noticed that the CE147F03.bin file was the only file that had a different byte size. OP was 767034 bytes while SE was only 732591. I believe the firmware shipped with bionix 1.2.1 is only 731688 bytes.

Unfortunately, I was only able to update the firmware one time per ROM install. After the first update, any attempt at a new update states that the firmware is already at the latest level and a new ROM install was the only way I could get around the issue.

A couple of things to note here:

1) The banding issue is improved but not resolved.

2) This firmware does not auto-focus during video capture. This is sore spot for me as I'd gotten used to having that functionality from the com.sec.android.app.camerafirmware_SE-1.apk.

Can't help you with the BofA issue cause I just use their app.

You can try package buddy for your tracking requirements. I can't link it cause I need like 8 posts so you might have to search for it in the marketplace or google "package buddy".
[G2 and Desire Z General] sp00fy:
Thanks for the suggestion Roqueez. The text alerts are just a minor thing. It would be convenient if it worked but no major problem if it doesn't.

I also use the official BofA app but I'd like to be able to be notified via text about my balances and such without needing to log into the app.

And for tracking packages, I use this app called Parcels which I'm pretty sure is the same thing as package buddy from the looks of the screen shots.

But yea, I was just seeing why I can't receive text alerts from certain sites.

My Captivate doesn't do this but it might be because I have a custom ROM. Advice would be appreciated.
