Hey,
sorry for my English ... I've had Google translate.
I have a Legend with the CM7.2.0 and wanted to use Gtalk with video function.
But when I run Gtalk and connect myself I see everything, except for one button video function.
Can one do something that does work?
We don't have a front facing camera, and even if we did GTalk would not allow a rear-facing camera to video chat.
Perhaps there's some patched .APK on the web or on this forum that would allow for that type of functionality, but wouldn't you agree that conversing with the back of your phone be a little strange?
An alternate solution would be to use a computer, I'm sorry.
But try looking for that app file, that'd be cool.
Hey,
thanks for the answer
Edit:
Why i must typ the stupid capture?
Because you are a new member and the CAPTCHAs are a measure to prevent spam. There are "thanks" buttons, too.

I just downloaded a new camera app, how do I make it open when I press the camera button?
What camera app?
Vignette. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it open when I press the camera button. Any ideas?
Ditto for camera 360.
Much better then stock app. It is set as default, but does not really function as the default - and not just the from the button.
Any new info on making another camera app function as the default including the ability to use the dedicated camera button?
If this is not currently possible, would the ability to add this functionality come from an update by the camera app people, or would this be something the devs might work on adding?

I don't know about changing the default app for the camera button, but it's definitely possible to map the button to shutter from within an app. Retro camera has an option to select a hardware key for shutter, I have it working with the camera button.
Sorry to rehash an old thread, but I have the exact same question as the OP and was hoping that someone had found a solution in the last few months.

Can't find this app - looks like it was removed...? Can anyone point me to the app, or suggest an alternative for getting the side cam button to point to a non-stock camera app?
Bump...I still haven't been able to find the button shortcut app anywhere. Could someone who has it post the apk? Or is there another way to remap the camera button now?
To me, that sounds like the current rom doesn't have that option. When I had the MIUI rom, I was able to change the default camera to camera360.

............. why are you bringing up such an old thread again??
I don't see your reply anything of helpful?
because this thread was brought up while I was doing a Google search for changing my camera button default(application shortcut) and it so happens if it wasn't for this thread I may have not known about button shortcut.apk as someone here mentioned then several people here claimed they could not locate. so if someone else google searched the same issue at least they come to a solution. and not just a bunch of people claiming they don't know what to do. who cares if its old you bumped the thread with such a useless post? what's the point in that.
Hey guys great news, I finally got Fring up and running with video chat on my Archos 101!!! To get it working, it appears that you have to download the apk version 2.1.0.6, dated 27/5/2010! This is an older version of Fring, as the new ones wont boot up. I happen to find the APK doing a google search. At first boot, it took a while to load up, so I backed out and tried again...it loaded, but when I clicked video, it force closed. So i closed it out, tried again and bang, worked like a charm!!! There is a two to three second lag between your live movements and what you see on the screen, but it works now without crashing!!! I am very happy with my Archos now that I have video chat. Please try it and let me know if it works for you guys!! =D> =D>
Can you post the link to the apk file here? Thanks!
Hey there
XDA wont allow me to post links, because I'm a new member..but I can tell you to google search the apk and enter megaupload on your search. Or check my similar posting in Archos fan forums, my username there is RAHIEM69D. Fring works now 100% for me, with just a little lag.
Is the sound quality good? Last I tested fring with sip it was horrible, maybe it's just the sip suppot that's bad.
The video chat lags for about 3 seconds, not bad really. The sound was actually pretty good, but i guess it depends on your wifi signal strength. Really impressed overall considering how much i paid for the archos. Anyone please let me know if the apk works for you guys?
I'm tying to figure out how to use the front camera for taking pictures. I can do the video stuff no problem, just not take pictures. Seems silly the native camera app would not offer this.
From what I read, there should be an option in qik to do this, but from the one I downloaded from the market, I'm not seeing this option. I'm running Frankenstein and have checked through all the various mod paqs and there is no qik app in there that may have this feature enabled. What am I missing?

Inside the camera app... Click the Top left icon on the screen and select Self-Shot.
Is that what you are looking for?
Perfect thanks so much! Guess the internet docs on this not working through the camera app are wrong.
What are some of the apps that use front facing camera?
Gtalk does not use it?there is no y!messenger in the market either?
How do you guys use this?
gtalk works for me, but you could probably use fring for video chat
Google Talk uses the ffc just fine, in my experience.
how does one start the camera in talk?
I can see the camera icon against my name but I cannot seem init a video chat session. Am I missing something?

I tried Tango on my Viewsonic GTab and it FC'd something fierce. I assumed it had something to do with missing some of the phone components of Android and haven't tried it on the A500.
Anyone have a good experience with Tango?

if your contact has the camera icon on them it means they support it. And then you simply tap the video icon next to them and BAM, it works.
Works flawlessly and amazing too.
damn it, I have useless friends. No one with video capability!

GTalk does work, I have already had a video chat and it worked great. Have to play again but I think the rear cam works also.
Used GTalk with my netbook the other day and it worked great.

Sorry I made the suggestion for tango without actually testing it out. But to get tango to launch without closing you need to have the iconia in portrait with the rotation lock on. However since I do not have a mobile number for my tablet I don't think tango will work
Your friends probably just need to download the video chat add on for their PC or Mac http://www.google.com/chat/video
If you are trying to chat with someone that is using an android phone I believe video chat in google talk is only built in the newer versions of gingerbread

lol, thanks. I am going to have to try this camera thing out.
ok, checked it out, how the heck do you get the video chat working? It only gives me the option to send IM's
Your counterpart needs to install video and audio plugin for Gtalk. Just by clicking option for video call (from PC) it will pop up an install screen .

Gtalk PC does support video call ?
http://www.google.com/chat/video?hl=en
http://www.google.com/talk/
so far only web gtalk (so from gmail...) support it
and of course Gtalk Android support
The other person has to be in gmail to do video and if your contacts once they have the plugin there will then be the little video icon I tested the other day with my brother from my iconia using talk to his Acer laptop using gmail chat.. we tried using the Google talk program on his laptop but video option wasn't showing up?

Hey, how do I start a video chat with someone in google talk?
I've seen it demoed but I can't see how I can call my friends (who don't have tablets) on their phones OR on their computer clients (with webcams and mics).
Is this yet to be implemented? I'd use skype but they don't support video calling on their native app -.-
Thanks.
I've used video chat on Gtalk once....
Any of your friends that are shown as being available that has the "video camera" symbol next to their name rather than just the green dot can be video chatted...
Just click on their name and then you will be asked if you want to video chat with them... answer yes, then it let's them know you want to video with them...takes a couple of seconds (if they answer yes) and then will see them full screen, with a small box showing your video picture in the lower corner...
I have not had anyone with video ask me to chat, so I'm not sure what happens on the other end as far as asking you if you want to video chat...I believe that it will ask you if you wish to allow before turning your camera on....
Yes it can be done, yes it is implemented but that's all I can type from phone at the moment.

It has to be done via gmail, the talk application doesn't support video chat on Windows so it'll need to be done via the browser but it does work. And yes once they invite you you'll get a popup stating that whoever wants to start a video chat with you.
As far as your phone goes you'll have to use qik or tango. Talk on phones doesn't work with video chat yet. (Unless you have a nexus s i'm pretty sure)
Ahh, I didn't try the gmail plugin. I'll try that, thanks.
