Is this not a thing yet? (Front facing camera via mirror attachment)

I was wondering if I can get something like this anywhere?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's a simple enough concept, why haven't I seem this anywhere and where would I be able to get one?
But I can't get just any attachment, I need one that fits my phone, which is a G2.
My Question: Is there an adjustable version of this? one that will fit onto an phone and can be adjusted to work with most?

I've been wondering this for over a year now.

I don't see why not. It doesn't seem like a difficult or expensive concept by any means.

Just thought of something:
what about a micro-usb camera that can be plugged into the phone and used as a front facing camera? is that even possible on android?

That's an interesting concept.
Do you have a link to this product?

Did you READ the OP, or ANY of the following posts?
We're not even sure if such a product exists...that's what we've been talking about!

Is this a real product or not???
Where did that picture come from???
Or, Is that a nice Photoshop job???

No!!!
Click this link!!! OneMoreFace!!!
And then check the second link on the list!!!
It is a nice PS job!!!
You're welcome

well the idea is great. Looks possible and should be expensive but I think it will require some software which uses the back camera while video call (don't know if it already exists or not though it shouldn't be hard on an andriod). I have not seen this or anything similar for sale as of now.

This sounds like a job for a 3d printing hobbyist!
If people are interested and willing to fund development (can't be more than $30 per prototype print), I would be willing to create a 3d-printable universal version.
I already have a project that is somewhat similar (creating a universal accessory to expand the functionality of your phone) to get an idea of what I am capable of, see it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476571
What I would need from you guys is ideas about what kind of mirrors could be used. They would have to be readily available to nearly everybody and easily fitted into the holder. The plan is likely going to be, you can order the 3d-printed project from a 3d printing service, then either go to your local store or some sort of online store and get the mirrors separately.

that seems like a pretty good idea but then you would have to carry around a fragile mirror.

The only downside is that canonical has said that they're looking to work with OEM's on this project, and don't have any immediate plans to release to the public.
I'm really curious what hardware they're using to make this magic happen. They show a phone docked, but how is it connected via mouse/keyboard/monitor? MHL with bluetooth peripherals? USB OTG and MHL combo on the back of the dock? I've been waiting for something like this, lucky me that ubuntu is the one that's making it happen.

would be sweet unless they some how integrate unity

"That's absolutely amazing"

Like that they planning on keep all supported phones updated to the newest Ubuntu release.

I know it's not quite the same, but there is a way already to have ubuntu on our phones.

Seems to me Unity is all but guaranteed. Hopefully we be able to apt whatever DE we want though. For that matter hopefully we will be able to switch to whatever distro we want, at least debian distros.

A similar dual os via docking comes with motorola phones. Many developers have already improved on the motorola mini-buntu.
This may take it to an even better level

correct, but the current incarnations are actual installations, and they don't Sync immediately live between the two OS
the ones we got running right now are either virtualized version of Ubuntu in our phone, or they actually replace Android, and it requires much tweaking for it to do what currently is cooking at Ubuntu Dev
Does anyone have a leak of that beta development of Ubuntu for Android?
i want to try to make it work on our phones
Also how does one even sign up as a Dev on Ubuntu to get access to the repositories for Ubuntu Android?

This is probably not going to be easily backported to other devices. Like Android itself, it needs native drivers that homebrewers aren't really going to be able to code, so don't expect to see this running on our phones, at least not well enough to be more than a novelty.
It's cool tech, though, and especially on the new generation of phones with Krait or Core A15 this is going to be a real potential desktop replacement for a lot of people who only do light computing. I think this is ultimately where computing is going to go for most people, although it might be a few years before the technology is quite good enough.

First version brought over from the Exhibit, anyway; everything should be in working order, but please leave feedback!

On a more personal note don't get me wrong, the default launcher of this rom is a pretty good replica, but pairing this rom with iLauncher is just absolutely perfect..
I don't know the guy who makes it, but It is worth getting and this is a plug because It's a good product
Edit: For folks who love iOS type stuff, would there be interest in an attempted port of GooPhone i5 or Zophone i5's rom?

Anyone interested in OmniROM?

From this article it seems to be the anti-cm ROM
http://m.androidauthority.com/omnirom-new-custom-rom-android-283136/
Some pretty well known devs building it.

I wouldn't call it anti-CM, but it sounds pretty cool... Especially with those devs working on it.

I'm highly interested in seeing what can come of this. i also wonder if dastin or any other E4GT developers are going to try and get it running on our devices.
Seeing what Cyanogen has been doing recently with licensing contributed code and attempting to monetize it really is refreshing to see these devs who have done so much for the entire Android community come together and try and pick up the pieces, and put the community first and foremost.

They have actually added a thread for the ROM already (in Custom ROM Central) with Q&A and General, it also has a Feature Development section... They are going fully open with it and I think that is awesome. They already have an impressive list of features like multi window and multi workspace. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on what's going on there.

Here is the feature request page-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481825

I just finished reading up on it and saw something about multi app windows for aosp I was mind blown!

I haven't made any announcements yet but I'm going to look at this for the Sprint S4.
Slick_rick is already working on it for the N2 so it's the best place for me to start on it.
Might as well get ChameleonOS back on track too.

Unfortunately, Omni will not be available for our device until they can incorporate the support for unified kernels. I tried and failed miserably lol.

I don't think it was cm/kernel related, I'll have to see if I can track it down again, but I'm pretty sure it was on their end that would botch something. Going on the hunt for it now lol.

OmniROM looks sooo nice. I would love to have it on this device!

Looks great and something new for our phone. Something to hold me over until I can save up enough to get the n5.
The only problem is my contact is up 5 days before my daughters birthday lol girlfriend would kill me if I got a phone around that time lol

With as many roms here, you can have a new phone every week if you want

That's correct, loving this phone for over 2 years now, it can change looks in minutes, it calls, texts, takes great pics and does everything a newer phone does, but a bit slower. I can live with that...

[REQUEST]AOSPA 4.0+ for VZW HTC One

I'm hoping that someone wants to take up the task of porting AOSPA 4.0+ from the GSM One to us Verizon variants.

Download the zip. Unpack it. Delete the getprop portion of the updaterscript. Flash it and see what happens. The mount points match our vzw...should work.

I could try doing it, I used to back in the samsung stratosphere days. lol
Don't expect anything special.

I'm surprised that you haven't tried it yourself. You've been in the community longer than many of us, and have a pretty large collection of devices it seems. Not trying to be sarcastic at all. Just figured you might try porting it yourself, for your use; and if it rocks you could always share it with us. Good luck! You can do it!!:good:

If it was an Xperia Play, it would have been ported in an instant.
Still learning quite a bit and have given it a few attempts.
So far, I can boot it up and everything else works fine, but can't get a signal.
I also don't have the same amount of free time I used to

I've got a couple builds of this here somewhere.
If I can find them and they run like I remember, maybe I will post one up.
I just recall building it and thinking, this sure is pretty vanilla for PA.
In other words, it's pretty basic stock Kitkat right now, with very few extras.
But like I said, if I can find it and it runs like I remember, maybe I will post it up, or maybe it's time I make a fresh build.
Will have to see what kind of time I have...lot going on right now or I would say I will post for sure.
I've also got an IOAP build I was considering posting if there is interest in such a thing...
