[Q] CM9 Google Talk Video Chat

I have the last CM9 nightly installed. 19th May. It has, I guess, the new version of Google talk i.e. v4.04-299849 (330). In the settings it implies that it has video chat option but beside the contact I see only the microphone icon. No video icon is being displayed. Is this the same for everyone? Is there a work around?

Defy doesn't have a front camera... I guess that's why video call doesn't work. And even if it did, what would the point be - if you could be seen, then wouldn't be able to see the other party.

Can we use the back camera

Thanks for the reply. The camera (back) was used when I was using CM7. Is there a way to force it to use the back camera if there is no front camera?

Bump
Anybody? Defy CM9 gtalk video chat?

Facebook front facing camera support

Does anybody else get an error when they try the front camera with the new facebook support? It says it can't find the camera and has me select gallery or another option. The camera works normally elsewhere.
"We couldn't find your camera. Which gallery do you want to load from instead? hoto:Cancel:Video:"

Not optimized for the tablet yet, a update should fix that!

Instagram Video Bug

well as a vine nut you can imagine how thrilled i was instagram announced its new update would allow video.
well i have tested 12 roms so far and only found 2 roms that work with the camera. i will list my own findings and hope others will so i can find the best rom for me.
all roms based on 4.1.2 seem fine. all roms based on 4.2.2 seem to have a generic rear video recording problem
1. neatrom - works fine but looks too much like stock rom for my liking
2. resurection remix 3.1.3 official- works fine but crashed on me 3 times in an hour so gave up on it
3. slimbean - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
4. avatar rom - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
5. thinkbridge - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
6. paranoid android official 3.40 - wont record at all
7. paranoid android unnoficial 3.60 - wont record at all
8. wanamlite - wont record at all
9. revolt - rom wouldnt said setup stopped responding. tried twice and wiped dalvik and fixed permissions still same so gave up
10. xenonhd - wont record at all
*edit*
11. P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[14/06][V23] - the usual green screen again
12. Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON - the usual green screen
13. GT-I9100 Vanilla RootBox [27/06][v4.1] - usual green screen
cant remember other 2 as i got rid of the files. by far my favourite 2 roms where
1. slimbean - loved the dpi - amount of icons per page - halo. everything was great except camera lol
2. thinkbridge - halo - 4.2.2
so if anyone knows of a camera fix or a way to alter the built in camera or a rom based on 4.2.2 with halo that is known to work with instagram video i would be eternaly grateful
lol dear oh dear. i finaly got it sorted with
[APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere)
this replaced my stock camera and low and behold it worked with instagram. also the photosphere worked good time
UNTIL
i find that there is now a bug in vine that i dont think will be sorted aarrgghhhh!!!!!
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.
Best,

i dont think cm team will change itself for the sake of 1 app and i dont think vine will update itself what it considers a small user base. oh well i really am stuck on 4.1.2 lol
oh well happy hunting

its as i feared. its both their faults.
Problem is:
Video recorded on high resolution of 768xsome thing...
but video preview streaming is in 640x480 window! > APP BUG!
so video with higher resolution cant be displayed correctly.
now WHY it's working with JB STOCK kernel???
simple! it's recording on 640x480 as ROM/Kernel not allow higher...
our drivers and ROM code allow, but APP cant show the record streaming.
So when APP Dev will correct the preview streaming window to higher resolution.
problem will be solved!
i cant fix that, sorry.

instagram doesnt support a modified higher resolution and is unlikely to add the resolution as the hacked user base is too small
CM10 could add support by either an option to reduce resolution during install etc but is unlikely to as its a lot of work for a single app
as a workaround [APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere) works for instagram but vine wont work untill CM10.1 changes. i dont think thats going to happen and most 4.2.2 custom roms use CM10.1 as its core base

exactly like me ... the CM is very beautiful and fast, but these bugs really make me stick to NeatROM Lite. I also have bugs with the Spotify app (online music). And most of all: the stock keyboard from 4.1.2 is muuuuuuuuch better than AOSP.

[Q] Camera app for working HDR (and maybe slow-mo?)

Hi everyone!
Right now I am using CM11 on my Galaxy S4 (International model) and taking pictures with the built in camera app (stock camera). Though, there is some troubles with the stock camera and other camera-apps that I've tried (Google Camera for example). Whenever I try to use HDR it either makes the camera crash that ends up rebooting the system, or the end result is just grey pictures.
So my question is basicaly if there are any fixes for this? I read about this http://goo.gl/orWkC0 app that is supposed to fix it thanks to the supplied libs, but are there more fixes like this? Because obviously a normal app isn't enough. And btw, is there also a similar fix that enables slow-mo capture? Because what I can remember the S4 does support 120fps @720p in the stock TW-camera...
Thanks for all answers, looking forward for a fix!

HDR works fine for me, using the google camera app. But I am using a 5.0.1. GPE rom.
So.. It may be a rom problem?

nexus4 camera with flash takes black picture.

Stock latest lollipop camera works fine, after camera update takes black picture with flash. Uninstalling update fixed the issue.
Cm12.1 same issue with ROM default camera.
Chroma same issue with default camera.
EDIT: found using latest camera on kitkat is flawless. only when on lollipop and latest camera this issue occurs.

Uninstall google camera...use camera360 instead

dont need these stupid filter camera's. plus it doesn't have video mode.
what i want is a simple no blabla camera that do picture and video, or a fix to this flash issue that takes black picture.
iv got an older google camera and it works fine, but it auto updates so i disabled auto update for now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Use this. It supports video recording too.
Camera360 is also great.

here what i found according to my need that is..
1 old version of Google camera
2 open camera (ui is not great specially settings)
3 better camera (paid but worth it)
Google camera and better camera takes same quality pictures, video is better on better camera on low light condition.

i was facing same issue , but i found a solution . you have to press anywhere on the screen first , 2nd time you press on capture button . it works for me

no that just add inconvenience, i found using older version of google camera is far better, just have to see i don't update it by mistake.
