[Q] AOSP ROMS and video conferencing - EVO 4G General

Running HTC Evo 4G
Presently with MIUI 2.1.13
Are there any AOSP based ROMs that video conferencing works properly? I've tried MIUI and Cyonogen Mod, and both have the issue where the the other participant of the video conference sees my video image upside down. If not, any ICS versions that have corrected this?

What app are you using to video call?
~ I'm a fungi

I've tried multiple:
Gtalk
Fring
Skype
Tango
Same results on all. I can see the the other video caller fine, however the other caller sees me upside down. I've tried changing the front facing camera from 1M to a lower resolution, but that had no affect. The rear camera is not affected, pointless if I turn my phone around, now I can't see them =)

the hd2 video call support

the hd2 does not have secondary camera and its software doesnot support video call so is there any program or teweak to enable videocall in it through the main camera like devices with no secondary camera
what, no secondary cam!?
yes, no video calls, no front cam.
If you read the spec you'll see that their is no front cam, no video calls. Just the main 5mp camera.
As for initial query, I'm not sure the HD2 has the necessary hardware & software available in the main camera to support video calling. Sounds like its plausible though, but haven't heard of any available software which would do the trick

Come on guys! Don't tell me you are not capable of creating a cab to allow Video Calling and Video Receiving on the HD2? I am sure you can, so come on, roll on your sleaves and give us that satifaction. Obviousely we out here would be more than willing to reward the one in there who has the guts to take up the challenge! My suggestion: Make it also compatible with external web cams as an alternative to the lack of the front camera.
i will be donating 50 dollars for a working cab for hd2 , (please mods remove my thread to hd2 forum as i already travelled there)
i can donate 20 bucks for this app without hesitation
hey all this is just my thought..
why cant since the usb port on the hd2 receives and sends signals for charging and tv out (touchpro 2) why cant the devs create a driver or program so we may be able to use an external cam (by modifying the origanal usb cable) of course, connected to cam, im sure the wires are all the same even if the came itself had to be powerd by batteries.. just a thought
isn't that what skype is for ????
Video Call Support on HD2
Hey guys,
I notice there're two camera-like circular optical devices (are these sensors or what?) at the front top-left of the device - what are these for and can't they be harnessed for use as a front camera? I find it strange that video call support could have been intentionally left out of the spec...for crying out loud???!!

They're the light and proximity sensors.
I would imagine that as the actual use of video calling is minimal, losing the front camera wasn't seen as a great loss, and saves them quite a bit in costs.
It's also more appealing to the networks, notice how video calling on the iphone requires wifi not 3G to work.
My HD can not be use for a video call in China...!
i want to have a HD2 rom with video call....for examle ,the nokia E63 can use the mian camer to video call ,HD2 Why not?
I use my HD2 in Shanghai on China Mobile, I'd love to see this work as well.

I have used Tango on android 2.2 and it works, the only problem is the main camera poins the wrong way, some sort of mirror divice would work but hey, its not that much of a major problem. If you need to video call there are loads of other phones you can buy.
circular optical devices are proximity sensors used to turn of the screen when u hold the phone close to ur ear and to mute the ringer when u turn the phone facing downwards. they are small laser guns which wont record image
HD2 is an AWESOME phone but sadly there is no front camera

[Q] MT4G Video Recording: Switch between front and rear facing cameras

I have been searching for a video RECORDING apps that will enable me to switch between the front-facing and the rear-facing cameras in mid-recording (without stopping the recording).
Qik and the myTouch 4G default cameras allow you to switch, but only when not recording. The other camera then gets disabled, and if you want to switch, you have to stop recording. I don't really wanna stitch 2 videos together, although I guess this is the short term answer until an app is made or an existing one supports this.
I have searched a few forums and Google without any answers. Is this even possible (even with root) or is this just wishful thinking?
EDIT: I know this is possible with video chat, but I want this for video recording.

HKTW 2.3.4 build front-facing cam WORKS on receiving end

just an FYI to everyone who's running the HKTW build and was disappointed that the FFC was sideways and stretched now, it appears in fact that on the receiving end of video calls, the picture is (somewhat) fine. although it shows as distorted on the atrix-side of the app, it appears upright and normal on the receiving device both Qik and Fring, and upside down in Tango. All 3 tested with a Galaxy Tab.
(Tango video doesn't reciprocate on GTab for some reason to my Atrix, which is the GTab's fault)
EDIT: no google talk video doesn't work for me, so i didn't include it in this test. AFAIK it doesn't work on the atrix yet.

No self video feed in video calls, only sound

Folks,
In video calls i see my camera/self in the little window, but no outgoing video feed to the other party, they get the audio but see nothing, black screen. Tested it with Fring - it only records audio, no video...
I tested video calling with the stock unrooted and rooted 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and with Rocket Rom v19. Same results...
Has else anyone had this problem?

Does video calling work seamlessly?

Does video calling work seamlessly?
gtalk or hangouts with no problems?
camera?
microphone?
everything appropriate?
THX!
Haven't tried Google hangout, but Skype worked fine. One call, i had the tablet horizontal, and the video of my camera got flipped upside down on my end, not the other end. Tilting the nexus extremely corrected it, though

and does mic work perfectly?
Yes.
Skype needs updating to maximise the quality of the front camera, but yes its fine.
