Does anyone know why yahoo video calls don't work on any ICS rom? Is there a fix available?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
Most likely because the camera only works on ICS roms because it has been hacked to pieces. Hacked to pieces=doesn't play well with 3rd party apps.
Probably need to wait for the Desire HD update to deliver the drivers we need.
So its not just yahoo video calls, it's most/all 3rd party camera apps?

Not necessarily true, it depends on just how the app is accessing the camera. If the app has been updated to work with ICS, then I would say the "hackiness" of our camera is to blame. As we don't yet have camera drivers, it would be safe to say that if you need camera specific functions you would be better suited on a Gingerbread rom.
A specific rom developer might be able to get it working on their rom, but as usual even more hacks would be involved. My advice would be to bring it up, but try not to press anybody until we get those ICS drivers. Camera is really hit or miss right now.

theirs zoom functionality in the htc sense stock camera or you can also try the htc double shot camera app which is even better
people keep misunderstanding what i'm asking for.
He is looking for zoom WHILE recording video on his DZ/G2. NOT zoom before taking a picture.
I'm looking for something like this as well. Tired of missing details while recording video all the time =[
zombieing this thread because i still haven't found an app.
I give up...

i believe the miui camera .apk allows for zooming while recording. if not, sorry. it is the best camera.apk i've used, either way.
Sadly it does not. Thanks anyway.

Check out fring
I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?
Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...
I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.

skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.
Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

Your Skype is working. Do you have icons for Video on it? I've had it before but after upgrade they disappeared.

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.
The twitter app is VERY choppy. Whether its scrolling quickly, or even refreshing, the app stutters horribly. I'm still unrooted. Could rooted and stock users give feedback?

Rooted LTE running Android Rev. HD 2.1.1 and I still have this as well. Looks like it's not using HW rendering even though I have it forced.
Thanks for the info
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Its because they didn't enable HW Rendering in the app itself. Even though you have forced it, doesn't mean the app will allow it. Stupid really, they should know ICS is HW Rendering supported.
Noticing similar choppiness in a number of 3rd party apps which is a shame. The core GApps give a hint of what is to come one HW Acceleration is enabled by default in the majority of apps.
Regards.
I wasnt fond of stock twitter app at all either i find myself using tweetcaster pro
after flashing a 4.0.3 rom the choppyness has gone away for me even the browser is smooth now

I'm guessing Google forced the rendering on
Yea I have emailed them, but they don't seem to care about their Android version very much. I didn't get a response and updates have been slow in the past. Probably going back to Plume.
Same. Gotta use Twicca for now. The only thing I like about the stock app is the official support for photos native API.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to flash a version of Talk with video support for the WFS? Or can our little phone not support it?
Even if Talk with video support runs on the WFS it will be of no use........you would need a front camera for video calling and there is not an application that allows you to use the back camera for video chatting(Certainly would want it )
Long story short..........It's no use
Apparently, Yahoo Messenger with Yahoo Video chat plugin works (Uses Mic+Camera from the back) (About 28mb in total Alot of storage memory....) , Skype also works with mic and camera from the back
(Less storage)...

Has anyone got the camera working in Yahoo messenger for yahoo video calls on ICS? I have been asking around since ICS was ported to our phones but have not had any luck. It works in Gingerbread. However, when I do video calls in ICS on yahoo, I can see them but my camera appears black.

No official ICS camera drivers =Camera is borked in most third party apps. Just how it is. Now is it possible to go in there with some know how and fix this? Maybe, but not without breaking a few things, and most devs are more concerned with establishing basic camera functionality over third party apps.
It sucks, but if you really need it you have to stick with Gingerbread.
That is what I have been having to do, switch between GB and ICS. I thought the devs have worked out most of the links in the camera for ICS. That is why I requested the yahoo cam fix again. Thanks for the response though.
