I Flashed The CyanogenMod for Glacier (myTouch 4G) :: V6.1.2-RC2 And Its Workin Great, Recovered My Swype, Batterylife Is Excellent But I Cant Use My Front Facing Camera (For Tango) :'( I Searched Around The Forums A Bit To See If I Found Any Related Threads To My Issue But I Didnt See Any Fix...
What Can I Do??
THanx In Advanced
Never Mind....I Got IT.... Just Read That Theres No Fix For IT...But Is That Just On That Rom Right? Theres Other Roms THat Can Let Me Use My Front Facin Camera With A THird Party App.?

Qik is good for me until we get Gingerbread. Not enough of my friends even have FFC on their devices yet.

co-sign i know maybe 3 of the top of my head and they use qik lol
Please post questions in Q&A section.
@cdw9800
when you said co-sign i immediately thought of the Calculus homework i have. Thanks for unconsciously reminding me of things lol
qik isn't working for me, bummer. is there anything you guys did to make it work or did it just work? mine always shows me to them, but all I see is a rainbow fuzzy screen but I can hear them.. hmm

The front facing camera works, and most apps that detect it are doing it the right way. Tango does not detect it when using CM6, they are probably not doing it using the official APIs, OR they are doing some kind of device/firmware check.
I sent them an email, either way is completely wrong.

So I just got the Mytouch 4G (rooted & left Stock) was a previous nexus one owner so I know all about the dev side of things but this is my first phone that allows web/video chat capabililties. Im a bit curious on what everyones thoughts and maybe some suggestions to utilize this feature. As of now im am unware of how Qik rele works and if there are any other major vchat apps out there worth looking into possibly even for the future. None of my friends rele have a vchat phone yet so im wondering how i can utilize that feature.
Thanks for the tips & suggestions!
i'm a big fan of the vid chat myself..i use yahoo messenger vid chat to chat with my gf who is on pc..
i think qik works best for mobile to mobile chat..both party needs to have the ap and a phone which supports vid chat..
be aware some roms do not support the front facing camera (yet). I am using iced glacier and have no problems..

I'll look into tango =D
FWIW, Skype bought Qik last week. Look for the Qik app to either take off with more features or be rolled into the Skype app.

Pretty sure facetime is iphone exclusive..but tango is the way to go if u are doing vid chat with iphone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i typically use Tango, but i'm looking into ooVoo. It seems to be the quickest but for some reason my wife'e phone doesn't like it very much. She is using HTC MySense, and i am using AOSP.
Well, evidence of video chat was found in latest Gtalk app (misc references, icons, etc) so I'm hoping we will see VC capabilites officially supported by Google in the near future.
Skype rolled out VC for iPhone recently, I can't imagine it would take them long to introduce a similar future to Android.
Those are the two apps I'm looking forward to as they seem to be pretty universal across all of the platform, any other ones are just a niche apps to be honest (except for yahoo, but it's not for me)

I love the front camera but i think us, MyTouch 4G Users, are a little ahead of the game cause no one really has android front facing camera phone. But after all the CES phones drop im positive we would all have someone to video chat

What the hell is "rele" supposed to mean? That's not a word.
The beta yahoo video chat is pretty awesome too. It has video and voice chat. Audio for both has a hollow digital tone to it but works well enough. The video comes through pretty clear.
Use case: mytouch 4g to nexus one. Voice chat works. Video chat works but video capture is done from the nexus' rear camera. I have to flip the phone around. Haha

For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

Check out this thread....you'll be happy to know that it no longer FCs on CM7 or any gingerbread rom for that matter!
The Front-Facing Camera is pretty much broken for everything except the stock camera app in CM 7.0.

Tango is working.
I was doing a tango chat with my friend last night on CM7. worked fine.
They just updated works good now

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!
Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).
So after using Cyanogen 6 & 7 here's a little review on what video chat apps work on froyo CM6 and Gingerbread CM7. I figured this would save some of you some time
Qik - works great on CM6 but it force closes on CM7. Video quality is good and audio is ok good enough to do the job
Tango - works great on CM7 with a mod where you can use front and back cameras. But on CM6 it only detects the back camera. Video quality is good but audio not so good
Fring - works on CM7 with out any mods but the video and audio quality is not so good. On CM6 it only detects the back camera.
Oovoo - is the new kid on the block working great both audio and video on CM6. I didn't test it on CM7 so if someone does let me know this app and Qik is the reason why I went back to CM6 from CM7.
I've tried them all too but unfortunately the battery drain from the apps is really poor... I just uninstalled and will reinstall when a friend wants to video chat.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Battery life on cm6 is really good even with the video chat apps
Tango is still upside down for me on FFC using CM7. Changing manufacturer to Samsung in build.prop didn't fix it . Image is right side up using the back camera.
What about Yahoo? It's apparently the only one that works from phone to PC. Can anyone confirm on our devices?

bump..i would like to find out too since i video chat with my girlfriend who's on a computer..
where do u get the oovoo app? didnt see it in the market and the website says your device is not supported..
Tango works great for my girl and I using the older version. The updated version has us looking at each other upside down. So if anyone having that problem just revert back to the older version.
Qik I have not tried since I flashed cm. I heard its working on the latest nightly build but have not tried it. I never liked the quality when I used to use it on the stock rom anyways.
Yahoo video chat still gotta be the best though. Video and sound quality are best. Better than qik and tango. And it does not work only from pc to device, it also works from device to device.

the Gingerbread ROMs are the only ones with goofy FFC working with Applications. All FroYo based ROMs should work fairly well. The app developers have no upped their apps to work with Ext4 style ROMs. It has nothing to do with the developers of the ROMs, but has everything to do with the App Developers.

Yes you're right. Is my bad I should've specified that. I meant in general yahoo is best when it comes to video calling. But is the reason I use tango now, because nothing else works properly.

OOVOO is a very popular video chatting service. The only problem is that on android, they don't keep the app's device check updated with the latest phones. I just bought a Sensation 4g and it isn't compatible. At the same time, it will say the same thing on my Mytouch 4g when I switch to certain roms other than stock. The Mytouch 4g is a supported phone by the way. This is why I believe that if someone can remove the device check, it will work on a lot more phones. Is someone able to do this?
Download the app outside of the Market, it'll work.
Can anyone post the apk of oovoo without device check I can't find it all

Get skype instead. It hasn't been officially released for the MT4G but (Only if you're on the gingerbread update) this should work:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/skype045.php
It is very good. Also, the market will offer an update for skype that will overwrite this one. Don't take it, as it will make video calling stop working.
Ok ty will try....wish yahoo would work I know or atleast I thought it was supported...

Wrong suggestion, outdated. The Market version of Skype works perfectly on MT4G. It has a switch in Options that allows turning video on for any phone. Just download Skype, turn that switch on, and you have video.
