(7/25/11) Working Skype Video ROM Combinations - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hopefully , this can be a marker for anyone looking to get Skype Video Working.
So far i have managed to get Skype video working on all Sense 2.1 and 3.0 ROMS
i have run into issues with AOSP ROMS. I believe the issue is with the front camera being read at an inadequate pixel rate. try switching the resolution when in the camera app.
ALSo, for those that are running AOSP, SAVAGED,CM7 nightlys etc.. will you please post your ROM+KERNEL COMBINATION.
linked are the two Skype.apks that i have used

[Q] Sense 2.1 camera on 3.0/3.5 Rom???

Hey everyone, I love the Sense 3.0/3.5 roms, but have always had problems with the camera. Either the video is choppy, or if it's not choppy, no one can view the video files that I send over mms. Seems like I read something about porting the 2.1 camera into the 3.0 roms and I'm wondering if this is possible? If so, how?
Thanks!

So I translated this as best I could...Is porting the 2.1 camera to a 3.0 rom as easy as just replacing the APK in /System/App? Seems like there would have to be more to it than that. Basically, I love the 3.0 and 3.5 roms, but having a fully functional video camera is really important to me.
Thanks
omg helarious

you made me crack up man. I read the post and i was like, oh i wanna know too!
I look at first response.... SAY WUT!!!!!
So far I've tried replacing "HTCCamera.apk" in /data/system.app with the APK from Skyraider 4.3 and replacing the camera lib files that I can identify, but it hasn't worked. The camera/camcorder comes up, but then fc's if I try to take a picture/video. I've reset permissions and that doesn't seem to work. When I replace any of the lib files I've found that I don't even get past the splash screen on a reboot.
What am I missing? Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
Anyone???
Bringing this to the front, as I'm after the same goal. Sense 3.0 ROM, but a stable camera/video recorder that does 720p smoothly like stock.
Success!...sort of.
I have found a workaround for my issues with sending videos via text, at least on a 2.1/3.0 hybrid rom. I've been using WildStang83's Hybrid Speed and while the 720p recording works fine, any video that I sent via MMS was not able to be viewed by the recipient. I found this MIUI camera and installed it and finally had success!
I tried the MIUI cam out on one of the new 3.5 roms, and unfortunately it did not solve the problem of the choppy video.
Here's the apk for the MIUI cam.

Just tried it, not a fan. Doesn't give much in options. I don't like the sound effects of the video recorder of which you can't turn off. Looks like there is a 30min limit too. How do you know if this is 720p? Just says high 30m or low 30m...
Camera seems to work fine though, just not sure if takes pics at max resolution 8m?
I agree. the MIUI camera has absolutely no options. Id love a perfectly working camera. Thats the only thing that stops me from using some of the newer roms. I take a lot of pictures and videos and need one that works.

sense 2.1/3.0 videocamera problem..

Hi,
When using any sense 2.1 or 3.0 ROM, I find that when playing back videos recorded with the videocamera, the playback stutters intermittently, causing the audio and video to become out of sync.
This is on any resolution setting.
I tried various 3rd party apps to play back the videos in case the standard player wasn't playing correctly, but it always happens no matter what app I use, so the actual videos must not be getting recorded correctly.
I've tried:
Leedroid 3.3.3,
Aurora V3,
Insertcoin v1.1.4,
PyramidMod007 v10,
AceSMod007 V13 and 14
and it's the same on all of these ROMs.
I have stock Hboot and am using the A2SD versions of the ROMS, with Dalvik to SD.
This is the only problem with these ROMs, otherwise they are amazing - is anyone able to offer any help, or suggest a ROM which doesn't have this videocamera glitch when using my setup?
Even sense 2.1 with 3.0 lockscreen would do.
All suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried the camera fix mod for the Leedroid ROM?

Not yet cos I thought it just addressed brightness/pixelation issues etc, not A/V sync.
I just saw your response to the "[Q] About 720p video recording" thread though and will be trying it soon.
Can you please confirm for me though-
Do you also have the Sense 3.0 mod installed?
And are you able to record on a lesser resolution, EG WVGA, with no lag or out of sync issues?
Ive answered your question in the other thread.

[Q] CM7.1 720p Camera?

I have settled on CM7.1 as what appears to be my most stable ROM to use for most things. It's fast, has nifty mods that I don't find in Sense roms. What is missing is 720p recording. I have searched and found threads wondering if it's coming, but nothing new since last Spring.
I have used LGcamera on the Sense roms with no problem setting to 720p. Doing so in CM7.1 leads to the app crashing. Is this because something in the Kernel or camera driver barfs when trying to use this res?
Is there another camera app that is capable of 720p, or do I need to go back to one of the Sense roms for this?
Many thanks,
TJD
no 720p for cm7, source hasn't been released so u either stick with sense roms or use obsolete cm6
No, men cm 7.1 one of the best roms for all divices in this phone cant use 720p, the only way tu get it is downgradin to cm6 or a sense rom soory

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.
THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.

Any Custom or MIUI Rom where Camera result is fine in video calling apps?

I tried a couple of custom roms and a few miui 10 and 9 global and beta roms but result is same horrible camera result in video calling apps like whatsapp, facebook, skype, imo etc so i will really appreciate if you can suggest a rom where it actually works fine as it should with a 13mp front camera instead of looking like a vga camera. Thanks
(it kinda works in Google Duo but i dont use Duo at all)
Anyone with an answer? i will really appreciate it thanks
