I've never checked on a forum this much. I'm eagerly awaiting to great if the 4g cameras are in and if the flashable.zip file has ben made and if it works :)

I have hope there is a fix got those who already have the i9000 ffc. If it works in the 4g that is. This us exciting news though. ... Can't wait :)
[Vibrant Android Development] de31:
I would like to see this as well please
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Hey thanks for watching buddy. I'm expecting my arrival on Friday/Saturday. I feel the processing time is almost over and normally when they ship, I receive the shipment next day as I'm only a few hours away. I just hope they are the real deal because that would be a great break for the Vibrant crowd.
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
Are you going to be charging $50 for these?
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
I have been talking directly to Global direct, They told me the 4g camera were to be out in a 1-2weeks that was last Friday. I told them I could purchase a larger min quantity if that would expedite getting them faster, they said they would get back and let know. If need be I can buy a large quantity (12-25) That may help.

I was thinking .....What about the Epic Camera it does not fit our phone ?

If the patch they are working solves our problem then great
[Vibrant Android Development] mhoward223:
I've got my camera on order and have been reading through the 3 threads and ready to go.

Was wondering what ROM everyone was using and which one seemed to have the best job with the Camera. My main use for the front will be with tango video calls with my boys while I'm on the road.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
I have played around a whole lot checking all the various ROMS that support it but Axura 2.2.9 works well with the FFC but still provides mild banding as expected in low lighting. The picture is also correctly oriented.
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Also Fring worked best for me with the FFC on the vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
ffc

Unfair! Please clarify what you mean by 'flawlessly'! How much banding, any pics sideways, which cam version does Axura use (Epic, i9000), does button as shutter hack work, etc...
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
Geezus man calm down. I meant I can take pics with mild banding (which SHOULD BE assumed, otherwise there wouldn't be a billion posts about mild banding), the picture is NOT sideways at all. I have not tested the power button as a shutter feature, but it works with a few of the video chat apps also.

And what is unfair?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
ffc

Who says I'm not calm? It's just that posts that are vague with no details breed all sorts of other posts, because of 'assumptions' that are made due to lack of information. Assumptions can lead to soft bricks, hard bricks, misbehaving apps and wasted time. On here it is not good to assume everyone is up to date on everything and is best to be as explicit as possible with so many noobs in the threads.:)

Edit: And if you have followed this thread from the beginning you would know that the amount of banding varies according to what rom/cam version you use. That's why I asked "How much banding".
[Vibrant Android Development] connexion2005:
When you use multiple !'s it doesn't relay that you are calm. If you watch my work I'm anything but vague about things. Banding is mild I've used multiple ROM's and it is what it is. ROM'ing a phone and testing it in one element of light and the ROM'ing with a different ROM and testing in another element of light and then saying the banding is better is not accurate testing and nobody is giving scientific break downs of their results. I'd be willing to bet that these banding results are super random and no accurate testing is being done on this. For now it's a devleopemental mod that is very convenient that it works as well as it does. I'll be working on a video of this very soon to give people an idea of the best scenario.

Seriously though...when you use !'s, it appears you are yelling. It's worse than all caps.

Anyways back on topic for both of us... ;)

I understand your points and I hope you realize I didn't mean to be vague about anything.

Oh and to the rest of this threads follower's, my "4g test units" should be in tomorrow...
[Vibrant Android Development] nebulous123:
flaw·less (flôls)

adj.

Being entirely without flaw or imperfection. See Synonyms: perfect.

I think we can all agree that "flawless" may not have been the best choice of words. Quite understandable why confusion would erupt when you look at the definition of the word you used.

EDIT: Better example.

BANDING = FLAW

FLAW = BANDING

therefore

BANDING·less (flôls)

adj.

Being entirely without BANDING or imperfection. See Synonyms: perfect.

[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Any progress on flashing the 4g files kelly?
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
I broke down and got a 4g cam "direct from the source" got a silver back plate, new buttons, and a 1650 mah battery while I was at it ;-)

(_ Don't PM me. just send an email. kayosoul@gmail.com _)
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

What new buttons? And does that larger capacity battery require a different (larger) rear cover?:)
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
The buttons are silver and the battery fits just fine with no mods. Lol. I just pulled all the parts I liked from the SGS4G.
[Vibrant Android Development] blasian shadows:
Where did you buy the parts from?
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
I got them from an sgs4g, I traded rooting and set-up services for the parts.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Did you have the same results I got with the 4G camera? A friend of mine found me a 4G camera, and I already installed in my Vibrant with BIONIX FROST and is working like a charm.

My friend works for TM and he pull that one out of a 4G broken phone and ask me to give him my I9000 camera then he switched and BINGO I have no problems with banding any more.

I bet you my daughter is happy now that I'm not testing the 4G camera from her phone.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
I havent gotten any responce yet. This weekend i will try to do it myself.

God I wish I had a friend down at T-Mob! I'd do the same thing in a heartbeat!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
So the i9000 cam works EXACTLY the same as stock camera on the galaxy 4g? I have tro friends with the 4g, I'm wondering if I could switch :)
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
When I was testing the I9000 in my daughters 4G that works perfectly with the exception of the FFC that was sideways. Other than that no banding in pictures, and HD Video was working fine too.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
You know what is the funny thing Raymond? I don't see him for around 8 months, and I went there to the store to check if they can help me with a problem that I have with my sons Galaxy tab. And all of the sudden he came out of the back room and whalaa! we start to talk about the test I was doing with my daughters 4G, and he told me "today is your lucky day". And BANG I got a 4G Camera in my phone.

:p;):D
[Vibrant Android Development] Killer0515:
Dude your luckiest man on this earth right now jajajajaja;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
How It's working?
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
It's working perfect, is the same result than when I was doing all the test with my daughters 4G Camera. No banding, HD Video working perfect, I can use FRING, TANGO, QIK, OOVOO, for video calling. The FFC is the right way, no sideways at all. I'm still using BIONIX FROST. I fell in love with my phone again.

FFC banding

Hey, let's set up an exchange program between Vibrant 3g owners and Vibrant 4g owners! I'll pay five bucks to any 4g owner who will exchange their cam for mine! Lol!:D:D:D
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

Well, there is this guy who works at T-Mob here in Portland who uses custom Roms on his own Vibrant. I pointed him in the direction of the rotary lock screen that mutes properly (his didn't). Maybe, just maybe...:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
I am want to do this mod. Where can I get a dual cam without the banding issues?

I dont care if I pay 48 dollars for it. I rather support local users here :D
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Are we sure thats the 4g camera? If it is, Ill get in on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
There we go, I like how you think Raymond...:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Guys correct me if I am wrong:

1. I9000 cam is working in the 4g

2. 4g cam is working in t959

3. I9000 experiences banding in t959

if all of these assumptions are correct, then we are clearly dealing with a hardware issue, no? It must be the grounding previously discussed... and the 4g cams simply draw a lower voltage. Maybe?

Kelly, thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:

Where can I buy this FCC camera?
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
I believe its the 4G. It's not like its a different phone. Also I do believe that its just as the T-Mobile Rep told me that the vibrant originally came with a ffc but T-Mobile stripped it down cause they are money hungry cheap bastards.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

Perusia's test prove that it is a little of both. That's why Kelly is trying to port the camera files from the 4g to the Vibrant 3g for use in a 2.2.1 Rom. With the i9000 cam+Vibrant 3g+4g cam files=very little banding. Add the 4g cam to the 3g Vibrant+2.2.1 Rom=no banding.:)

Edit: Hope I got that right?
[Vibrant Android Development] checktheemails:
so did anybody get the new cameras from global parts yet to see if they are the 4g's or not?

If I'm you I just wait a little bit more, until connexion5000 confirms if those are for real 4G cameras.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] syedfaz26:
Just curious how come its hardware , when the i9000 cam working fine in 4g. When we take the same i9000 and plug it in in old vibrant we get banding. Isn't that driver issue? I am not questioning the hard work done by dev and tester here as it just question bothered me all the time by seeing these tests done by different user with 4g phone with i9000 camera. I have tested so many roms for this banding issue and so bionix 2.2.1 update 2 has been the best with FFC as the qik software recognize the front camera. As soon as i change the rom to sweet honey 2.5 , the same Qik apk does not recognize the front camera.

Do we have the new 4g rom customized for old vibrant. Has anyone tested that?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Its driver related. If i can get the drivers ported completely it may fix the banding altogether.

[Vibrant Android Development] checktheemails:
guys it is pretty unlikely that those new i9000 cameras from globaldirect are 4g's. One of the guys from TW was going to get notified from globaldirect directly when they do source the 4g cameras, so don't get your hopes up just yet on those cameras.
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
So you think they just decided to put cameras from i9000 in the vibrant section? So you think they are scamming us?
[Vibrant Android Development] d33dvb:
I am not looking for donations, I am looking to help. Can someone explain where the drivers are located and what the 'porting' process entails? Is it simply locating the correct files on the 4G and pushing them to the vibrant, and modify the config files?

Please explain, not flame, if you dont know how, please dont respond.

I am no dev, but I know my way around linux, and am familiar with the architecture. If someone could "get me started" I would be eternally grateful.

What are the low level details that we know.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Hi Josh, have you already received those cameras? Are you already tried those? Are those 4G?

Thank you very much for all your contribuition to the community, really apreciated everything you do for the Vibrant (Galaxy S) community.

It's pretty simple.

He's ordering camera's that are supposedly for the 4g.

He's going to test it.

If it works then it works.

People making comments about how they won't work don't know what they're talking about. Period.

And if they work flawlessly with no banding I'm ordering one from him.

the cam for the vibrant is different from the i9000 one.

I think this isn't the T959v Camera. It does not say on the Headline T959v but instead T959. And it's written i9000 on the camera cable compared T959v on the 4g camera had a different writting.. Maybe I'm wrong..
[Vibrant Android Development] trashcan:
Good news. I believe I got it fixed. I'll post the kb1 kernel later.
[Vibrant Android Development] trashcan:
Sorry, stil banding but only a lot less
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
I think there is no fix for it software wise. I believe this issue is voltage.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
When you say you have it fixed, do you mean the banding? And you have a flashed kernel to fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] wtf.now?:
He posted back that it did not work that it was still banding just a lot less. I think that answer your questions. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Henchman:
Translation : It's not fixed.

hey little help here guys i just installed my ffc and when i check it from the reg cam app its the right way, when i try recording using qik it works but is sideways, yet when i try to do an actual video call the ffc doesnt work at all, ive tried changing my build.prop, any help? btw im running the latest bionix
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Well, let's just hope that Kelly Lewis can do some magic porting the 4G drivers.

I'm betting they either clear the issue, or clear it to 'almost' fixed with the i9000 camera.

I'd rather not buy another camera, and can live with almost fixed since my phone camera is not really my preferred source of capturing life around me, other than if I just need to snap something casually.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonyolea:
I'm trying to use Qik video, the ffc doesn't work only rear cam, how can I fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:

After further testing, It appears that the actual taken photo has no banding. only banding on screen. I am not home yet. I will post the kernel as soon as I get home.
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
I am working on a kernel with all the 4g cam drivers and settings as well. The 4g cam files alone are not working, once this has been tested i will have a flashable zip with both the kernel and cam files. Heres a breakdown of what I'm doing.

The I9000 ffc works in the Vibrant 4g which tells me that the Vibrant 4g has the drivers and software to fix the banding.

Having said that Morfic and I are trying to pull modules and settings for the cam from the Vibrant 4g kernel and port or kang them into our 2.2 kernel.

If this works then I will port the 4g cam app and the cam files and libs over in a flashable zip that should completely remove all banding.

If your feeling generous.

The 4g kernel works on our phone but doesn't mount sdcards. Do not flash the 4g kernel were fixing it. I will test it personally when its complete and post results give me some time.

So with the kernel and cam files from the 4g, there is no banding on the i9000 FFC? What where your results kelly?

I couldnt test the cam due to the sdcard and internal memory not mounting. But in the same sense the 4g has absolutely no banding with the I9000 ffc.

Hey kelly didnt eugene worked out a fix for sd card mounting issue on 2.2.1 when the firmware first leaked, and then krylon applied it to bionix frost?
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
Hit up Eugene or Krylon about the sd not mounting, I know eugene said hes done with the vibrant... but I'm more sure thats just because of douche bag people, he might be willing to help?... But that issue happened when frost came about, not to sound redundant or like an ass.... but I'm slightly confused on what your doing? The way your making it sound is like your trying to remake a 2.2.1 rom?

Not meaning to talk down I'm honestly just trying to understand where this all stands at this point.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Hes not making a ROM just trying to get the 4G kernel to mount so he can see if the banding is gone do to voltage.
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
Sorry I'm late guys, here's what I've been up to. I replaced the can with the SGS4G, but the picture was rotated regardless of .buildprop so I pushed the camera firmware and camera.apk from frost and everything works as it should. No changes in .prop editor necessary. I've tested this on sweet honey, darrky, and trigger. All worked without a single hitch. Even the chat Apps work properly.

I know there isn't a direct source for these cams yet, and I can't tell you to buy an SGS4G salvage parts and return it. So until a source becomes available I will continue to only reference the I9000 cam in the OP
[Vibrant Android Development] Joy2DaWurld:
I thought it wasn't a direct voltage issue. Only that the proper drivers/ports didn't exist yet.

KellyLewis, along with other people, believe that if our I9000 camera works perfectly in the 4G, and the V4G camera works near-perfectly in our phone, why doesn't the I9000 camera work well in our Vibrant? That's a question I'm also asking, and I believe it's because of a software issue. As does KellyLewis so a few people are porting the drivers/cam over from the V4G (because the I9000 camera works perfect with it) to our Vibrant in hopes of a flawless product.
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
Might want to check with the cmsgs team also...I think they are trying to figure this out too.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Could you please send me the camerafirmware and camera.apk you pushed from frost because I just pushed the camera files from frost using root explorer on Axura and I get nothing but forecloses.
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
Sorry i should have stated that on all resuscitation was running the overstock kernel. Which can are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Im running KA7 + voodoo with Axura 2.3.1.3 and I would like the camera with the FFC mod and the HD camcorder shortcut which is on the frost. But, do I have to flash the overstock kernel for it to work?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Im not trying to remake the rom. Im trying to fix the one issue that makes the 4g kernel not usable. It works perfect and is faster than any kernel we have out, it just doesnt mount internal and external.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Respectfully, I doubt that's the prominent driving factor. I'm sure most other phone brands and models are also owned by these 'douche bag people'.

I figure he decided to move on to the next project as our first gen vibrant is starting to get a little old in the tooth, so to speak.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcontrol:
Maybe he meant team db, or whoever it was that *****ed at him for not releasing his source edits, at least not soon enough for them.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
I was going for a play on words type thing there.... no one got it, ha. Well you did but yeah thats what I meant.

Oh now i get it.... I was unaware there was not a working 4G kernel for out phones. I dont feel I know enough to mess around with that stuff so I dont.
[Vibrant Android Development] checktheemails:
u dun mess with it but u talk about it...
[Vibrant Android Development] d33dvb:
Just out of sheer curiosity:

I pushed all the system files and .so files related to the SGS 4G system dump to my vibrant running frost, and everything worked, as far as features, no FC. Same amount of banding was noticeable, and camera was still sideways. Dont think I did anything as frost I believe was a port of that rom anyways. Just wanted to share my results and save someone some trouble, but has anyone tried this also in a different manner? If I got it working, but there was still banding, doesnt this mean its not driver related. They must be kernel drivers, like suggested.

Can you post the zImage, have you tried to flash it?
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
Uhhh... what?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
I did the same thing on bionix v 1.3 with the same results. Now if this kernel can be fixed to mount internal and external then that work with flashing all the cam files from the 4g will have no banding. In theory you will have a Vibrant plus but without 4g.
[Vibrant Android Development] d33dvb:
Can you post it so I can try and work on it?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
You can download it in the Samsung 4G forum.
