Taking a photo of yourself with the front-facing camera? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I FAINTLY remember being able to utilize the front-facing camera with the camera app that came stock on the phone (using the sgs vibrant from bell).
sometime inbetween then and now I replaced the stock camera software with the one that came with the sgs captivate because of reviews that it was superior to the vibrant's software... but now i cant seem to find the option to take a picture using the ffc.
This is the thread I found it in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751031
I'm thinking of reinstalling the stock camera software posted by the user, but now I'm afraid that because the vibrant in the states doesnt actually have a ffc, the stock software posted wont actually have the option to use the ffc.
Do any of you know if the stock camera software posted there has the ability to use the ffc? or perhaps there's a way to use the ffc in the captivate camera software?

For some reason i find it hard to find aswell. But its definitely there on my i9000.
On the left hand side of the screen, there are four option buttons. Click on the top one, which is a rectangular shape. Then the top right mode is "self shot".
Hope that helps.

it's on the wiki

damnit, i think i lost it then when i replaced the stock camera software with the captivate one!
does anyone by any chance have a zip file of the stock one on the bell vibrant? or should I be asking this question in the development forum?

Nexus One camera color saturation not "natural" after flashing 5.0.7.1

After upgrading to CM5.0.7.1 from 5.0.6, I noticed that the camera is showing a "cooler" color tone which leans toward the blue spectrum. Kinda like the Droid Incredible's camera in the comparison below.
http://androidandme.com/2010/05/phones/the-incredible-camera-showdown-droid-incredible-vs-nexus-one/
I feel that the Nexus One's "natural" color saturation is gone. Has anyone else notice this? How does one revert back to the original Eclair's camera firmware without losing 5.0.7.1? The Nexus One's superior natural-color matching was the key to beating out the Incredible's 8 megapixel camera.
i noticed this a little bit on a pic i took the other day after the update, will play around a bit more today and the weekend to see.
sure looks like some sort of vignetting or something, red looks more red and in another shot the blue looks more blue, not sure if i like it or not

Solved it. Tried experimenting with different roms and just happened to find one solution that worked.
Wiped and reflashed to 5.0.5.3. Then upgraded to 5.0.7.1 without wiping. Now the camera's original color saturation is back. Dunno why this worked, but I suspect that the 5.0.7.1 may have a different firmware for the camera (Droid perhaps?). Apparently, upgrading without wiping keeps your original N1 camera settings. Just a hunch.

How to fix videos not recording sound / audio on the nexus one

My nexus one (purchased used) has never recorded audio when recording a video. I stumbled across a post where someone had squeezed near the mic and fixed the issue. I discovered exactly what was going on. After squeezing the area around the mic while recording I determined that I may need to disassemble the phone to correct the issue. After looking at the teardown on ifixit.com I saw that the mic is held in by a connector that can be seen through a slot in the back black plastic under the battery cover. I folded over a post-it note pushed it in to the slot and CLICK, the connector snapped back in to place. I also left a little post-it note piece in to the slot to keep it in place. See the attached photo for details.
Please share this with others on other forums if you have seen other threads with this issue. I hope it helps others!

Hi
it s exactly the same for me ....dictaphone works ...all mp3 works but my own videos are as in 1900's : without sound !!!!
i tried (after laughing a lot about your helpful post) with a piece of post it note but it doesn t work still .
i know how i probably broke it : sometimes bootloader was frozen so i had to take off the battery with some hurts (as a torch which doesn t work so u hurt the bottom of it to make the light get back) i m stupid because i should have used a little tool to take the battery off ...
i m trying to install a old stock ROM ..maybe????
thanks to U for this solution ...
regards from France

[Q][ICS] Camera problem

I have a problem. My camera doesnt work, and it looks very weird.
Im on Dark Knight 5.5
So is it easy to fix it?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Try reflash rom without wiping anything, just go install zip from sd card and select the DK zip.
What exactly do you mean by it looks very weird? So it doesn't work at all or..?
Yeah, i might try reflashing the rom, but how about if I replace the camera.apk?
Heres a screenshot of camera.

Warning Camera failed!
Hi There...Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a newbie, so I'd appreciate your patience...and please talk in lay-mans terms also, I seriously haven't a clue!
OK, here I go. I have a hand me down Samsung GT-1900 which I am enjoying, but sadly the camera doesn't work. I managed to go into camera setting and reset it and hey presto, I had a camera for a while. But now it's gone back to saying 'Camera failed' and won't allow you into settings like last time. Is there anything that I can do without having to take it in for repairs? I'll list the details like the others seem to do, but let me know if I've missed something
Firmware version - 2.2.1
Baseband version - I9000XXJPY
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number - FROYO.XWJS7
I have updated it with Samsung Kys already...
Thanks a million......................
..............All the best!!!
Ps- I don't know what you guys mean when you say 'flash' it.....so back to basics if poss!!!

As you'll be able to see in the pic, in low lights or even a bit of light the camera has very much noise like burning fire no matter what mode I am using superior auto or manual but when I change ISO to 400 the noise tends to almost disappear but still does, so by not messing things up is this a common software issue? I had tried several camera apps all are the same is this software or hardware/lens issue? I am running on latest 2.257 firmware

Erm, could you post a few actual pictures please? The viewfinder does NOT display the quality of eventual images as it does not apply any processing. The view from the viewfinder will always be hella-noisy. (that's a term, right? Down with the kids, me )
Actual results can be as good as this:

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​

This device has only a rear flash.
Yeah, useless for our device, thanks anyway.
I would like a notification flash

I actually just flashed a zip in TWRP that enabled the notification LED by the speaker grill. Its pretty nifty to have a notify light again to blink when I have something to see. Really, I just wanted it to for charging purposes (I have some cables that are starting to go and I want to know if my phone stops charging without touching it, since that sometimes knocks it back into place temporarily), but the notify blinker is a happy side effect.
Got it from mods section on this page:
