Hi,
I work for Tango - the newest player in mobile video calling. Hopefully some of you have been able to play around with our app.
We released our application last week, and have been listening to users on some of the items we need to fix/improve with our application.
I am looking for 5-10 Nexus One users that can help me out with beta testing our product.
The requirements:
1. You have a Nexus One and feel comfortable installing Beta software on your phone.
2. You can devote 2-3 hours every few weeks to provide us feedback.
3. You feel comfortable having a video call with me (I promise I'm not that scary).
4. You will not share new features with our competitors.
I would prefer to find people who can test this weekend - we have a big fix regarding our battery consumption that we would like to release ASAP.
Please message me with the following:
1. Name/Email
2. Availability to test over the next few months
3. Experience with Android
4. Phone/Version/Rooted? etc.
Thanks!
Dmitry
Is a PC version in the works?
We're still working on getting Tango to be the best mobile-to-mobile video calling app before we move on to PC/Mac, but it's in the works.
Won't be much of a video call without a front facing camera, will it?
Tango Beta Testers...
I'd be curious to know how Tango works with the Nexus One as well... it has no camera on the front, so this makes video calling problematic (at best).
Is there something I'm missing?

Maybe they include a "mirror" link....LOL couldn't pass up the pun. Seems you would have to hold a mirror behind the N! to have you face reflect.
I was just using Tango with one of my friends... it works fine! The other person can't see your face, but they already know what you look like anyways Pretty cool, nice app!

Wait, what good is mobile video calling if the other person can only see your shoes? Who cares what your shoes look like. If I am going to video call you, I want to see you, not your Borns.

drivers dont mean **** if you have to install the actual hardware lol...
1. where are you going to find a small camera to install
2. how do you know where to put it? Its not like you can open your nexus and there are a few empty pins that say "solder front-facing camera here"... lol
3. it has drivers great... but for which camera? i am willing to bet that there are more than one versions of front facing cameras out there...
a project like that just screams disaster

I believe the android.cab is like an autoboot from winmo (I personally didn't install it) for those that may not have one. As for the rest of the rom, well I understand your caution, but as with anything, no one is forcing you to install it. There is an inherent risk with ANY rom on this forum. Using caution is wise, so what I did is I compared the files to other roms I have used and saw that they matched up, I have installed it (with the attached 2gb image), it's running now, you have to select the English language, unless you understand either of the other 2 Chinese languages available. From there the setup was the same as the other HD roms. Testing it now, will report results later. So far so good...
Hi, have you asked about GPC before posting this?
OMG the camera quality compared to all other builds i used before is AMAZING !
After turning off the handwriting in options i think it is my new daily Android.
And the camcorder seems to record in 720p but we are not able to playback...
great build..but data icon dont animate..

I concure about to put it through its passes. i decided to test this build just for the 720P recording...wanted to see if it was indeed working. and for sure it is. as well the cam pic quality is very good. have not tested sound quality as of yet. waiting for the build to do a full update from the market before i start really testing it out...first impressions are good...will report back later today after more use.
Just tried this build and it's looking VERY promising. i tried the other Desire HD build with the camera fix but the camcorder still wasn't working on it and for some reason every time i tried to get into the market it would force close. as for the android cab..yeah,i wasn't sure what that was so i just thru it into the android folder along with the media folder.i tried the camcorder and it's working.it also played back my video. i know some were sayn that they didn't have playback on their camcorder. i may not go back to any other android build. i think i found my holly grail of android builds !
Just to clarify, this can record at 1280x720 but can't play it back?

But you would have to keep flipping your phone over to see the other person which kind of defeats the object of video calls. I'm surprised the camera works because the phone models Skype have introduced the video calling for are having problems and the desire wasn't included in the roll-out because of the fact it doesn't have front-facing camera.
would you be kind enough to post the apk?
thanks

Desire was rolled out in the official Skype release today. Screenshot from the market attached.
I'm still on your train of thought though, pretty pointless having a Skype video conversation when you have to stand in front of a mirror to do it.

Hmmm, another pointless addition to Skype. I use Skype daily and stick to an older version (1.0.0.983) because it's the most stable and the UI is the most user friendly. It was the last version released prior to the video calling releases but it's still not perfect. Since Microsoft took over Skype they appear to be doing some ridiculous things...like adding video calling to phones that don't have front facing cameras
the update doesn't have video for me...running miui latest version which is GB

I got a Desire with Cyanogenmod 7.1 (Gingerbread). When i start the video I got a blank (black) screen on my side and on my caller's side as well (at least he can see his camera, the phone doesn't show even that)... :/
Sometimes I got also a FClose and one time my phone self rebooted...

I enjoy having the option of video calling different people different uses I guess... maybe you are on vacation and want to show someone the view from your hotel room.
Skype still feels heavy though and I keep turning it off when I'm not using it. Hopefully after a while it will be as light as google talk and viber, and it can be kept up and running all the time
...or even better - hopefully google talk will be good enough to replace Skype. hope google releases google voice for the rest of us not-Americans soon too...
the app "stop Skype" broke with the latest update btw. too bad, was great easy way to exit Skype.

hi wonder if anyone used video on skype with ther mobile network(not wifi) wondered if you have good quality tmobile uk doesnt seem to work
tested and works fine on my Desire. Rooted with cm7 . i enjoy this option, even without a front facing camera, because i only used videocalls for broadcasting "what i see" to other connected collegues.
works like a charm
i don't have video calling with the new Skype and when i try phone call the signal is very bad

Why not keep it there? {Rom} {GalnetMIUI 1.11.7} {ICS 4.0.1} {11-7-11}
Yes, just saw it.
This line will keep me away from it,
The bad news is that the MIUI ROM comes with heavy UI customization and it won’t let you enjoy the ICS UI novelties, but that’s not necessarily a bad news.

I just flashed this rom and I'm loving it. I've been using it for 2 hours and I love the MIUI features. It's like Cyanogenmod, but less nerdy and seems to offer better/more functionality.
What I love most is that the Flashlight will start from simply holding the 'Home' button at your lock screen.
Makes it super smooth to enable/disable flashlight, as it disables when you let go the home button.
If you don't like the MIUI launcher, use Go Launcher or some other instead.
I couldnt get used to the MIUI because it places all your apps on your homescreens. I'm sure you could get used to this, but I don't feel like it.
DEFINATELY TRY IT THOUGH! It's butter-smooth.
Just remember to make a Back-up of your current ROM using CWM
Usual stuff that have bugs/dont work:
1080p recording
Video playback (avi, mpg, mkv, etc)
This rom with ics theme and ics launcher will be sweet
downloading now =)
i am kinda addicted to cyanogen cause of the settings menu, but i think ill survive

Correct me if I'm wrong.
But MIUI is based on Cyanogenmod correct?
If so, some files don't work. From my testing, x264 encoded files don't work, as do some files downloaded from Youtube.
For those that have installed, can you try using Tubemate to download the 1080p version of the Battlefield 3 launch trailer and see if it works? Thanks.
Giving it a go myself tomorrow morning. Gonna sleep now.

Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.

might be worth trying again with a 4.2.2 rom to see if it works.
i am sticking with neatrom for the min (4.1.2) as it works with instagram and vine. once both aps work with 4.2.2 aosp and aokp based roms i will go back. i miss halo and pie

i think its going to be a long wait. most aosp roms are based on CM. the problem is CM use a hacked rear camera with higher resolution. aps are created using normal android firmware so dont take into account the new hacked camera. unfortunately i think the makers of vine will see modified firmware user base as quite small so not bother to change their app and CM is unlikely to undo a better camera for the sake of 2 aps (same bug is in instagram video for the very same reason as vine)
neatrom works with them all as they are based on original samsung firmware but i prefer aosp roms but till the bugs for these 2 aps are sorted i'll have to stick to neatrom as 80% of what i do on my phone is instagram or vine related. oh well

I wish either Vine or CM and X-treme could come up with some kind of workaround.
I am missing a lot of moments that a standard photograph cannot capture and a video is too cumbersome.
I'm having to use my girlfriends iPhone when I have perfectly good Android hardware in my pocket!
By the time I have the iPhone in my hand and unlocked the precious 6 second moment is gone, FOR EVER.
Come on Vine! Can't you enable a compatibility mode or anything? :crying:
X-treme Rom v10 will be ready soon by the looks of things. Looking forward to it!
Does anyone know if this will fix the problem? (cannot currently write on all threads as I haven't enough posts)
@wzsddtc2
Nasty bug. Vine seems to be the only app on cm 10.2 that does not work..
with the latest update they outright claim your device is not supported. (It worked perfectly on Official 4.1.2 roms)

That's be cause we are probably the only app that uses that special method that Samsung broke.
The same bug happens on S4's front facing camera driver, but Samsung has provided a workaround for that (we post-process the images).
On Cyangenmod, the problem is they don't even pass back a bad frame, it just passes back nothing, so we can't apply any workarounds there.

That's not true. We saw the log from CM's bug tracker, it is entirely on their side and they just won't admit it.
Apps will request 640x480 preview size, but CM will report it succeeded but record at 720x480, which is a higher resolution.
We use onPreviewFrame() to get video frames and expect 640x480 frames, but CM will give frames at 720x480.
Because we give buffer frames at the smaller size, CM will treat them as invalid buffers and then just drop the frames.
Totally insane.
I'm using a t0ltetmo with the newest Carbon Nightly and Vine recording doesn't work.
Do you guys have a list of custom ROMs that is compatible with your app?
This is a bit annoying.

Yeah I gave up. I got an S4, running AOSB and everything is working well.
The S2 is a backup phone now.
ok so apparently no one fixed this issue.. i tried a bunch of cm based roms and different versions of android and ive found problems with video upload to instagram (upload bar just stuck at middle and wont go on), vine app wont work (it just tells me that im using custom rom and there's a problem with camera), upload videos to twitter also stuck.. so it seems to me that the problem is with CM kernel and video format.
still cant believe that no one addressed this issue over 2 years now, im stunned
