I know this isn't a question anyone who already bought a FFC would like to hear, but how sure are we the I9000 camera is the same camera that will be in the Vibrant 4G? who's to say that it won't be different and a little more plug and play friendly?

Just curious...
[Vibrant Android Development] darksandz93:
Only one way to find out...
[Vibrant Android Development] phonephixer:
When it is available to the public I will purchase it via one of my vendors and test it. Will def report my findings.
[Vibrant Android Development] dicoale:
Thank you very much. I solved it: I took the DialerTabActivity.apk from an I9000 custom rom, put it in system/app, changed permissions, and now it works, i can video call on each phone number. Obviously i don't use t-mobile, I've tested it with H3g Italia.

If you want, you can add this in the first post.

My problem now is to recive video calls. If someone try to videocall me, my vibrant refuse automatically the call, probably i've to port some other things about phone, but i don't know what. Someone can help me?

in a rom i find:

CallSetting.apk

Phone.apk

PhoneErrService.apk

PhoneSetupWizard.apk

Phone_Util.apk

i don't know wich of this is responsable, someone can explain me the utility of each of them?

replacing phone.apk my phone rings when someone try to videocall me but images for answer or decline are not good, i'll post it.

the image attached shows my problem, i've to port phone.apk from i9000 to vibrant someone can help me?

I was thinking the same exactly thing 2 days ago. We have to wait and see what happens after the Vibrant + comes out. One thing is for sure, MY VIBRANT ROCKS!!!!!!:D

does anyone have any ffc cameras available looking for 1 thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] Gerr1985:
I feel your pain... I bought the FFC a little while back and just got to putting it in this past Monday, after getting super annoying with the banding on the back camera I browsed the forums here to find out a new camera is available to fix, but I have to pay another 50 bucks :(
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
KellyLewis is still working on the 1st revision camera guys so don't be to down. There may be hope for it. I feel what you guys are saying though, I had a few of the older style left over as well. No worries though they are still good units and with development there may be hope.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Hey bud, I'm still performing some benchmarks with multiple ROM's, lighting and surrounding colors before I reply. Just give me some time. As a teaser the yellow isn't in the original recording. It was greatly enhanced through YouTube. Just give me till tonight, I'm also going to start a thread with ROM's that work correctly with the 1st and 2nd revision so users know what will work and what won't.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gerr1985:
+1

The thing is, the phone did not come with the camera, nor was it that easy to find or implement.

These guys have been working like mad to get it working and to get the kinks worked out. Its awesome that we've made progress. *****ing wont get you help you want :P
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
so has anyone confirmed that the new camera @ gpd is a working camera with no banding?

i was thinking of buying a batch, but if we don't know if it's the same camera as the other dude's, then i'm not as confident about it.
[Vibrant Android Development] syedfaz26:
yes there is some testing in last few pages of this thread. Ck it out
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
It's the same camera.
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
i checked it out. connexion implied that the camera he has may not be from gpd.

edit: how do you know it's the same camera?
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
well. i might as well be a guinea pig and find out for sure. i will take a look tonight when i get home at the old ffc's i bought and check if they look different than the ones on the page, i will order 3 and try it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
connexion already stated the first 3 cams he purchased were from GDP....

he also stated they are the same camera.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
+1 I just stated their is no guess work to be done on the GDP cameras. They are the same ones.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
If you ordered from GDP, maybe 2 more weeks.

[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
I wasn't even selling these until 2 days ago which is when you ordered (the 16th) but your order is being shipped out today. :)

Hey, connexion, if this thread is closed, you will probably be getting my business. I've waited patiently for months now. I'm not sure I would want to wait to find out the results of Kelly's hard work if that happens, so I'd just as well buy another cam. It would be a shame, if the thread was closed, that is.:o

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

If you search back through connexions posts you will see he reported it working under simply honey, a i9000 based 2.2.1 Rom.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
so i just got my cameras in from GDP and installed frost, and the the FFC still show sideways. am i suppose to use the i9000 camera app?
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
If you are using Bionix-Frost, flash the FFC_MOD.zip package from my site.
[Vibrant Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
is that the i9000 camera app/ the one from the video you made on youtube?
[Vibrant Android Development] de31:
just curious, can anyone explain to me why cm7 doesn't support ffc? is that based on kernel or the rom itself?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
most likely a driver problem, but that question is for the CMSGS team devs.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks for thinking of me. I bought my ffc last year, so guess I'm in same boat. Hopefully there will be some way to flash on sweet honey...seriously love this ROM....and I've tried them all.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
ffc

I've got my nose in the Sweet Honey thread every day trying to keep track of all the issues. That's the one I want to install my cam on; I don't even mind that nice Steel-Blue theme. I don't see any reason why a flashable would not work unless the directory for the cam files is different in Sweet Honey, but I'm certainly no expert. I just wish they could get the wifi calling working.:)

Well, I know that I'm very pleased that guys like connexion provide an actual valuable service for us modders.

I recommend anyone doing any flashing at all get his Jig. They'll be thankful they did.

And now I know I'll have a fully functioning FFC camera with no banding thanks to him testing it to make sure it works.

And then of course there are those that contribute nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
this is certainly an unfortunate turn of events :(

This is why I think that you should only be able to post in the question thread and the general thread until you hit at least 100 posts. It would avoid things like this happening, I have noticed usually its people with around 30 posts that open there mouths.

[Vibrant Android Development] McBang2023:
Truth or dare....

So i am looking for a bit of truth, or a dev who dares to complete the task a hand. I purchased a ffc from a dealer over seas (China) and it has the banding issue. all i get when using the rear camera are a bunch of red, green , and blue lines. But the ffc works perfectly fine. I am wondering if there is any truth to the cameras Connexions sells, or if a dev is willing to come p wit a solution (praying its a software issue) to the banding issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] Henchman:
Nobody has been able to solve the banding issue.

But connexions V2 FFC is supposed to be the proper camera for the Vibrant, that has no banidng whatsoever.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
I got mine in from a local source you know who ;) .... Thanks. It all works perfectly fine! No banding issues :) Video its excellent and pictures are just awesome!

Thanks!

11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.

haha... I get the point, no one should be trying to sell something on here. If he was all "OMG DONT BUY FROM GDP BUY FROM ME!!!" then yeah... but I think what he was doing was more to help out and make a buck in the process, so yeah I do agree its a violation of rules.

Its not like hes advertising the sale of a product in his signature or anything.......

:cough: !!Vibrant For SALE!! :cough::D

(also dont take this as hate... just friendly joking)
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
I have not been able to get any app to support ffc. They all want to do back video. I did edited my prop file accordingly.

What gives?
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Did you try Fring? I find it works best. It also varies on the ROM your using.

What ROM are you on?
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:

have you checked to see if your FFC works?

does it show in the camera app? :confused: :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Yeap it all works ok. Just the video chat apps that wont work. Tango worked once with ffc and than switch to the back for no reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Does any body else have the same issue?

Guys I just found that the camera app does have ffc enable but the video camera app does not. How can I get the video app installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Make a nandroid backup and try Bionix Frost, I don't have to change anything in my buildprop. and every video chat application is working for me. But I'm using a real SGS4G camera. Give it a try. I hope this can help you.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
d00d frost has issues and has not been updated in ages.

Is there something else out there that would work with this?

I mean is worthless.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Does any body have a video camera apk from an I9000 that I can use?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
Download "sgs tools" from the market, click on "upgrade stock apps" then "hacked camera.apk" it will do it all for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Will this upgrade the video camera apk?

Thats whta I meant on my previous post. I edited.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Looking in to it it does not.
[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
I'm on bionix 1.3 and its working fine for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Guys when replying with what does or doesn't work, please include Revision 1 or Revision 2 as they are different units.

Thanks! I'm trying to dig up the Vibrant 4G Qik apk file so maybe we can use Qik as on my Atrix it has an option to switch from front to rear camera!

Oh and V2 with Bionix 1.3.1 only shows the rear unit for me as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
So your video camera NOT your CAMERA app has the option for ffc?

I have several users that can confirm that there video camera does not have ffc in 1.3.1.

conexxions I have v2
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Ah!

Ok so what does this mean? That there is something in 1.3 that they took out in 1.3.1?

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] xavenged:
Has anyone tried using any of the Trigger roms with the Rev2 camera??
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
It works just have to add the right camera and camerfirmware apks. I'm creating a thread today with all the ROM's that work with the rev 2 camera and whether it's native or they need the correct apks...

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Video chat apps untested on it though.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
The corrected apk give you what?

I mean I am using them and gain nothing by it.

I cant use FFC on video which is what is intend it for.

conexxion can you find a video camera apk that works?
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
I'm working on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
d00d you are awesome!

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Ok so it's definitely software support. This Qik app works but has the orientation 90 degrees off.

Another update...same results with Tango as the Qik file listed below. FFC works but is 90 degrees off.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9978865/init/com.qiktmobile.android-1.apk

It's still good to see an app atleast working almost correctly with the 2nd revision FFC.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Can it be hacked?
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
IDK. It would probably be easier to ask the developers of Fring or Tango to maybe add support.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
So its useless I guess. No support for 2.2 roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
WTF are you talking about?

look at the thread that Connex created..

[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Dude I'm using FROST since day one, and I have no problems with anything other than the custom animations, and once you turn those OFF everything works perfectly. If your camera is designed to work with 2.2.1 OS well that is your best shot. IDK if you already try FROST, but at least for me is working perfectly, I'm just waiting for a theme and that is it, other than that I can't ask for a better ROM to work with my FFC. Like I said before, works with FRING, QIK, TANGO, OOVOO, with no problems at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] BiznessMan:
Hey guys, Bionix Frost here and I just installed the FFC

Is there any possible way to get the image to rotate 90 degrees in the default camera app? I've looked around the forums but I can't find an answer :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
I got my camera today but haven't had time to install it cause im at work. But, thanks connex!

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

Give us the name or post a link when you've got it done. Your thread will sure make it easier for everyone to shop for the right Rom. Thanks so much!:):):)
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
Just got my camera from Connexion today. Running Bionix 1.3.1 with the apk's from the other thread and it works beautifully. NO banding and I didn't even have to focus the FFC. Worth the $45 in my opinion to have it working 100%.

Camcorder fails in 1280x720 with the flashed apks, but works out of the box with the stock Bionix camera app. However to get the self-shot feature, you have to flash the apk's from Connexion's other thread. It's a trade off I suppose. I'd rather have the higher resolution, but that's a personal preference.
[Vibrant Android Development] krad42:
Just got cam from connexion.

Running simply honey 2.7 with overstock 2.1. No banding, recording and pics ate perfect with highest resolution.video chat working with fringe. And tango. Cam is in correct orientation, self image also working with stock camera app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

The instructions are in the OP. (The very first post):)
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
Wow, I know the instructions are in the op, I was just asking if there's alternatives to what can be used clean it up.
[Vibrant Android Development] domtru:
I shall buy one tomorrow :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Henchman:
Same here.

Works fantastic.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
So I honestly have not been keeping up with the new cam.

As I understand it now its like this.

It works perfect, no banding no matter what rom, as long as it supports the FFC.

Bionix frost is the recommended rom to run with "revision 2" cam

Unless the proper camera files are applied then it will be sideways.

If you want FFC in your favorite rom, ask your favorite developer.

yes?
[Vibrant Android Development] Henchman:
Wrong.

Recommended ROM is Sweet Honey.

Can works without issues or need if any extra files.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Frost is recommended if you have a REAL SGS4G camera, for the I9000 second generation or V2 camera Sweet Honey is the best, because you do not need any extra files for that camera to work with it, since Sweet Honey is based on the 2.2.1 OS in the I9000 Samsung Galaxy S. Frost is based on the SGS-T959V 4G USA phone, on FROST if if you have the SGS4G camera you don't need any other camera files works perfect once you flash the ROM, but if you have the I9000 second generation or V2, the FFC will be sideways. Same thing happens if you got the SGS4G camera and try Sweet Honey ROM the FFC will be sideways as well. I'm already test both of them.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
Ah!!!!!!!!!

So this is why on frost my ffc was sideways for me! than how come connexxion claims it works?

I can confirm this I reflashed frost like 10 times thinking it was me and they all where sideways.
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
parusia,

Can you post this information on the FFC Working ROM thread?
[Vibrant Android Development] magix200:
Any word on the. Kernal for the 1st ffc ?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
you can make any ROM work with The FFC.......

The only reason the recommend certain ones is for the n00bz that want FFC support OOTB.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Those apk's I listed should work just fine with the 720P recording as well. Did you retry with those?
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
That's correct for the most part. With the 2 apk's I listed in the REF thread I made, you can almost have the FFC working in any ROM. Right now what we are trying to work out is for the FFC video chat apps to have correct orientation. Tango and Qik both work with the FFC but it's 90 degrees rotated. We can iron it out it just may take a bit!
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
We need to verify what you are saying here. Sideways in the camera app? Or sideways in video chat apps? This should not be sideways in the camera app. Frost OOTB should have correct orientation.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
