This should now have a much greater possibility of working now that the android app supports video call natively on some roms.
Biggest thing is i think, that whe need a front camera, maybe a developer can adjust the program that whe only can or must use back camera !!

This is already done. You can test it with Fring Voice call. Its more of a question of telling the new Skype app that the leo is also a capable phone for video calling.
Its actually not working with Miui 2.3.. it just gives a black image.. back or front = same
When someone is calling to you with video, you get video .... accept you can't send video...
Maybe skype is updating it later

I have the same problem. Its probably not starting the video correctly. I have heard that in Skype v3.0 it will be working on all phones and not limited to the ones specified on the website.
It sucks since we cant even see a video come in either. Tested it a few time, no luck.

Which file exactly from that thread? There are 7... obviously some saying two cameras, but which did you use?
EDIT: com.skype.raider-2-onecam.zip
Just tested com.skype.raider-1cam.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 - skype and video works good, but i can't receive phone incoming calls from GSM or 3G when skype is active and online.
Does anyone also have this issue?
When there are incoming call, i receive FC of com.android.phone if i try to pick up the call. After FC there are no sound in the system until the reset.
If skype is not active all works ok.
I have a TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.4.0 Android 2.3.4 GB ROM in my HTC HD2
Same here, the incomming call rings, but when picked up no sound and the screen freezes.
I go back to the skype from the market and wait for the problem will be resolved.
UPDATE:
Just found out that the skype downloaded from the market has the same problems.
When i log out of skype, i can receive the 3G calls.
I've added some extra advanced settings for video recording. I'll add more as I have time.
It's experimental and might be buggy. I promise to try a little harder to have a stable version than I did last time I made a mod like this.
Source code:https://github.com/LeJay/Camera
Sorry, the source code is a bit of a mess . It's a fork of the CM7 nightly and is up to date.
apk and the correct zip is up.
Simply download the zip and flash it. It will replace the camera app in cm7. Whenever you update to the next nightly you'll have to re-flash.
Versions
-----Version 1.0 (current)-------
Features:
Video stabilization
Video manual focus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Video autofocus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Video touch to focus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Things that for strange reasons don't work:
Auto Exposure compensation doesnt work together with autofocus or touch to focus. I'm looking into it. It does work with manual focus, though.
------------------
FAQ:
Q: Sometimes video recording doesnt start when using auto focus.
A: If auto focus fails recording will not start. I might do something else in the future, but this is the setting for now.
TODO:
1)
Work around disabling of exposure. Eg. read focus level from logcat after auto focus and use manual focus instead.
2)Other camera settings:
Image stabilization, manual exposure compensation, timestamps (?), change contrast
Thanks for the hard work
Is it CM7 only?

Yea, sorry, forgot to mention that .
@lejay, great work. i expect to see a new commit with this soon ?
touch to focus in video mode is much desired, i believe.
can you also take a look at http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6628 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15955411&postcount=6954 ?

Oh, yeah, I removed the code that checks if the preview is 720p. Zoom works fine, both volume and display menu.
EDIT: Actually, zoom behaves a little oddly, it jumps to 8x with double tap. Did I do that? wtf.
I feel auto exposure should get fixed before I sent it to nightly. Also, I get a headache figuring out how to correctly submit these things .
wow, thanks for the your tweak, really hope we can get continuous focus

no, i don't think you did it.
i never knew about the double tap zoom until yesterday, and it jumps between 1x and 8x (in cm). i don't think there is any code for this in app though. could it be libnvmm_camera.so ?
edit: do you get zoom working while recording at High (720p) ? (not changing it, but set it at 4x and start shooting, mine reverts to 1x)

Its in videocamera if I remember correctly,. Zoomgesture something.
Right now zoom is working, but it has been buggy. Does it work if you zoom again and try recording?

Any news?
Hi all,
I'm using Paul's great Gr1 (GB 2.3.4) from almost day one and even as my "daily driver" .
I tried the usual camera mods and found none of them working (just experienced boot loops).
So, I was longing for a respective camera mod - similar to somemadcaaant's mod but for GB/ Gr1. As no mod for Gr1 surfaced until now, I decided to rip apart the app by myself.
After some googling and a time intensive code analysis, I figured out how to accomplish what I was looking for (no shutter sounds, quality improvements).
I finally decided to share my mod with the community.
You can flash it with the update zip in CWM or just copy the apk to \system\app using a root file explorer.
NB: Unfortunately I was not able to make most of the Full-HD video mods work. After some testing I came to the conclusion, it must be some kernel bug because there are no hints in the logcat, that something is going wrong. And even the stock app behaves in the same way!
Maybe it's just happening to me, so provide some feedback/ hints here please!
I'm sharing it anyway, because maybe somebody finds it useful like it is.
Please find the resulting apk (plus update script) attached to this post. Enjoy!
Installation:
Flash the attached zip with CWM ("install zip from sd-card") or copy the apk to your \system\app folder manually.
I modded the following (please note the current restrictions!):
Disabled shutter & AF sounds (still & video) - timer sounds are still enabled (on purpose --> no change!)
Increased preview fps to 40 (--> reduced page tearing)
Changed default to show video after capture to false
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80
Set fine picture quality to 95
Set superfine picture quality to 100
1080p:
*Set FPS to 30
*Set normal video quality to 7Mbs (=fine in LG app)
*Set fine video quality to 12Mbs
*Set superfine video quality to 17Mbs
Set audio bitrate to 128Kbs
*not working due to buggy kernel (Gr1)? --> reverts to default 15fps & 9Mbs
720p:
Set normal video quality to 4Mbs (=superfine in LG app)
Set fine video quality to 9Mbs
Set superfine video quality to 14Mbs
Set audio bitrate to 128Kbs
PS:
1. Zoom is working now (no crash on Paul's Gr1) !!
2. If you have a darker icon for your camera app, then update script worked like it should!
3. Please be polite, as a) this is my first mod b) operation iron fist
4. If this is useful for you, hit the "Thanks" button on the lower right!
This mod is valid for stock roms?

I don't think so , this mod is for Modaco GR1 (Gingerbread)
the ROM Stock are Froyo

Thanks for your efforts. Going to try this out.
Anyway you can make widescreen photos option available? Don't like 4:3 ratio.
how did you disable shutter sound ?
in cm, focus sound is played by camera app, so it is easy to reduce, while shutter sound is hard-coded in libcameraservice.so and you have to modify frameworks/base/services/camera/libcameraservice/CameraService.cpp (maybe Gr1 is different ?)
another question is that in cm, picture quality drops once you go to video recording mode and back to still image mode. do you also have this ?
Good work
i have a gr2 i will test your camera mod
thanks
Thanks for your posts guys!

It's sort of a hack. I disabled it by removing the middle layer.
To make it short: The app actually plays the sound, but the sounds won't be loaded in the first place There isn't even an error message in log cat about that though!
If you just remove the actual playing part, it simply plays the default sound instead (like you mentioned).
About pic quality...didn't notice that so far, will test it.

I'm going to test it too today.
Update: can you post the zip file, because I can't overwrite the camera apk ...
Nice work, you read my mind...
I couldn't fix the 1080p issues either since the camera app looks to be unfinished, looks like its missing updated libs (libcamera.service.so|libnvmm_camera.so|libcamera_client.so) as I could restore some functions like 1080p higher compression via using the froyo code [cameraengine.java|modevideonormal.java] but it would screw other features, all LG seems to have done is started a quick and dirty port to GB.
Also looks like their trying to make a universal GB camera app for GB phones using the media_profiles.xml like the sgs2 and aosp frameworks have, this looks like where the 1080p issues reside as it will be looking to this file for fps and audio/video compression in the O2X Gb update.
Done well so far matey keep it up.

Are you planning on adding MIUI compatibility? Currently it force closes on 1.8.12

Thanks man! really appreciate it!
Good to hear, that its not just me having trouble with this
Actually I already thought that exactly these probs would keep you from posting a GB mod
Thanks for this valuable info! But I was almost sure this would be related to a buggy kernel, as I developed another cam app which is working great on Froyo but behaves on Gr1 exactly the same strange way as the LG cam app does in Gr1. I think the drivers are simply f*cked up for LG's GB port at this point of time. So let's wait and see what comes down the pipe...
PS: tried the media_profiles.xml as well (and included it into the update zip) - even b4 your post - but obviously no impact on said probs.

Is this working for CM7 or people having some problems ?

+1 here, would it work with CM7?
Does it actually removes the "mist" effect from the camera when taking pictures? stock v10d removes(without any fix), tho in CM7 it's still there.
Any chance of updating this work with the camera module from the latest leaked V20c ROM (eg. Flair GB) or V20f (Korean??)?
LG have fixed the video zoom problem and upped the frame rate for 1080p to 24fps in V20c.
But I am still really disappointed with LG's lack of progress with the still photo quality. The white haze problem is not so noticeable (color saturation still no where as good as the Nokia cameras) but the image is still very grainy and I suspect that is all we are going to get Could do with your tweaking magic
greetings, I wonder if you think some mod make the camera view has achieved stability with ginger roms version based on 20c?, a greeting
Modded V20e stock camera
Hi all,
I went on and successfully modded the stock camera app of V20e.
In contrast to Gr1, everything I modded is working well in V20e now.
Please go ahead and dl my latest mod here.
Enjoy!

Installed the mod successfully.
Enhanced fotos before and after the mod, but no vissable difference between them.
What should be improved with this mod, except the missing shutter sound?

You said that before on the corresponding thread.

does it work on latest v20l? can you see if with this new update, you can enhance 1080p again? you wrote it couldn't be enhanced due to kernel problems... probably with the final one, have been resolved?
thanks
Hello,
I got a little problem.
I am using currently CM12.1 Snapshot on my Moto G2 Titan.
If I record Whatsapp Voice Notes, the quality is a piece of **** and my voice is like cancer......
On the stock Motorola ROM is the quality really nice, but here.....
What can I do for fix it?

I replaced now the Audio Drivers from the Motorola Stock ROM and I get a bootloop
I have the same problem with all custom roms. Not only in whatsapp but in every sound recording (even in videos).
Ok guys I got the problem...
Whatsapp is using the false microphone in Custom ROMs.
If I blow in the rear camera mic you will hear it.... If i blow in the main microphone theres nothing... But in the normal sound recorder it will work, but not in Whatsapp Voice notes.
Can I change that? My voice is then so clearly how in stock rom

I rarely use voice notes in Whatsapp. That's why I didn't notice this.
Ok, I am using Whatsapp Voice Notes every day.... This is a big disadvantage from CM... and the only one
I have the same problem, but the quality is bad in any custom rom, I think the performance of the Stock too bad ... unfortunately I'm in it because of the voice notes, I use them a lot with my girlfriend ...
Not only the Whatsapp voice quality but also the incoming call volume is slightly lower than stock.
I`ve installed CWM 12.1 on my s advance ...................... as it was written in that thread that video recording will have green band, so is there any app or trick to use video camera in normal mode

If I'm not wrong you can install cyanogen camera from playstore.
You can also flash a Gapps package that includes Google camera to get it as default I guess...
