I think try taking pics with your front cam, i ft hat works then its probably a software issue (just re-install go back to stock and reinstall darkys 9.2)

To go back to stock and re-install darkyys rom seems a bit too much just to get the front cam working foe video calling.. Front cam takes pics fine tho, no issue.

[Q] CM6 camcorder focus

So last night I swapped out my Milestone for my Nexus One because it takes better videos in the dark... and I was hoping to film some performances on the closing night of one local nightclub in town.
The first few videos turned out really fuzzy and I was frustrated because this had never happened before I installed CyanogenMod 6. I quickly Googled the issue and found this:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5336-cm60-stable-no-video-focus/
So I tried the workaround - enter camera mode, touch to focus, then back to camcorder. Worked sufficiently well for my needs, but it really sucks that I lost out on the performances I filmed before I tried this.
One poster reports on the thread that flashing the Korean radio seemed to fix this. I had earlier installed Paul's pre-rooted FRG33 ROM and this included a radio update which is now still on my phone after reverting to CM6 (baseband 32.4100.32U_5.08.00.04). Thus my experience is that this was not fixed.
Anyway, has anyone managed a better solution than this workround? Thanks!
Not sure if this fixes your problem but cyan tweeted this earlier today
cyanogen: Just wrote touch-to-focus for the camcorder. Even works while recording. Suck it iPhone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now if someone would write an in phone editing app :/
hah, nice! Wish I had it a bit earlier but I'll take it.

CM7 Camera

Im sure you all know that CM7 has a buggy camera, but i didnt think it would be this ridiculous 0.0. Every time i take a picture, i have to switch to video camera, then back to camera to take the next picture... If i download another camera app, i get a "Forced Close". CM7 is by far one of the best roms ive had so if it means no camera, so be it... But if there is a fix, id really like to be able to use it
Please let me know
Thanks!
I read your post opened up the camera, took three consecutive pictures, switched to gallery and viewed them.
So it works for me. Have you tried reflash or have you installed the latest update?
CM7
yeah, just flashed the update for today and everything seems fine :S. Im not sure why that happened though, happy its fixed

Front camera crashed when switched to

Hi, I use arhd 1.1.1previously and it works good for everything. I just flashed the arhd 1.1.2, and somehow the front camera got crashed everytime I switch to it. Also, in the mirror app, it was a blackscreen in the viewing area.
I did the clear data in the camera app, but it doesn't work.
Anyone met this before? Please help!

Soft Keys not lit up in Custom Roms

I have now spent almost 15 hours total trying to "fix" my phone because LG is to incompetent to bring out a working phone. I bought the phone because of the front cam and I liked the design. Turns out, the front cam didn't work with many apps in android 2.2 then when we finally got Android 2.3 the soft keys didn't work.
Now after having spent about 3-4 hours every day for the last few days trying to "fix" this phone because LG won't, I am starting to get fed up with it. I am not a phone nerd and shouldn't have to "make my phone work" myself. I tried installing the cyanogenmod rom and it was horrible and crashed constantly. Now I just tried installing the zeus mod, and the soft buttons do not glow on it either. Does anyone know any software that will make my front cam work and my soft buttons? I don't care what version of Android i have as long as my phone works as it should.
Well basicly Zeus ROM is official GB from LG, thats why they are not light either. If you want em to be alive again, try a Froyo Rom, like Nova, or a stock one. For the camera, i dont know what to do, what s wrong with it?
I guess 2.2 doesn't support the front cam. It doesn't work in Skype or in Pocketbooth. Two of my favorite apps. I think it only works in the regular camera app on the phone.
But if it is freaking you out soo much, then give NOVA a shot, it is really a very good ROM, btw are you german?
Did you already test CM7? If not, I can only suggest you to, although it has some bugs ...
The front camera IS working in v2.3.4 (v20N German) and it was also working in 2.2.2 (v10C German). I have used Skype video calling with both versions.
PS: I will try today to see if it is working in Zeus V3 (v20N International).

Problem pop up camera stuck outside, Need help

Hi everyone,
i wish if anyone could help me with this problem:
i´m in latest evolution X rom(4.3 build may 13) and google cam stoped working video recording (the camera hardware its fine because the stock camera was working fine) , so i tried switching to front camera an then changing to video but this caused the pop up camera getting stuck outside (photo attached), and when i try using it with stock camera app its works fine except that its doesnt come inside the phone or make any light or sound.
i tried to push it by force but it became stuck half way and still give image but again, doesnt get inside the phone.
I wish to know if anyone knows how to fix this problem or how can i force to restart the camera or something like that.
thanks and any help would be great.
I found a solution, here in XDA Is an app which allow you to control manually the pop up camera, it need to be root but apart from that works flaulessly.

Here is the link to the XDA thread. Thanks
