Hi all,
I just wanted to ask you about the video call capability of Optimus Black. As I know Android got embedded Video Call capability with GTalk via version 2.3.4. But as I know Optimus Black runs Froyo.
So, I own a Galaxy S2, and I want to buy a phone for my gf, only for video chat. So any of you tried; Tango, new version of Skype or Fring. Does video calling works OK?
Thanks.
i have try with skype and it's still not supported yet,,,Optimus black will be supported on skype as OPTUS have release a contract version of OB Skype Edition.just need to wait for a new version of skype to be released tho..^^
I've try many "video call" apps.
None of them are compatible with the front camera
The only app that supports p970 front camera is stock camera app

As mentioned above so far no video chat app suports front cam on the P970, but fring works pretty good even if you need to have a mirror to see the person you are talking to.
Hopefully 2.3 is just around the corner.

I'm working on skype mod HERE that supports many froyo FFCs. My goal is to make most froyo FFCs usable for video chatting.
With the help of owners, I was able to add the LG Optimus 3D in the list of supported devices. If you want to help me add support for LGOB, please send me these files:
all of /system/framework/ files
/system/app/ArcCamera.odex (or .apk in case of deodexed system)
/system/app/Camera.odex (or .apk in case of deodexed system)
And I also need you as testers to verify in case I have something to test.
You can email your download link at [email protected]
With the mod droidx is working on I have video call working!!!!! Back cam only so far but works non the less.
He is working hard to enable the front cam as well

Thank you. Works, but when I hold the phone vertically, image with my camera upside down.

The portrait mode is not yet finished. I'm still working on some other FFCs and fixes. I'll continue to work on that when I'm finish with other devices' issues.

Noticed a problem with status. When you come out through the exit and back to run the program does not go online while in the program itself says that online. And another problem with the camera. Sometimes it stops working and error associated with the SMS/MMS

The delay for the skype to become fully online is normal. I haven't found out or looked why but I'm thinking that delay is the time for it to discover online contacts and broadcasting itself to others.
With the other problem (SMS/MMS), can you describe it more? It's my first time to hear that problem (being assiciated with SMS).
so far it is the best skype mod i've every tried, but i cant use none of the cameras (none of them works.. still all black)
but i can see my contact video.. and thats a progress!

Could attempt it on a test build on CM7, works there from what it looks like.
Just wanted to chime in here on the subject.
Did some searching today and it lead me to the threat linked above, downloaded and flashed through rom manager. First boot took a bit longer than it usually does, thought I got stuck in a boot loop. However, I can confirm this works on the lates pre-alpha cm build!
I had to create another google account to test it out, but low and behold it actually works!
I didn't see any other posts in the thunderbolt forum acknowledging this so I thought I would let you all know.
A family member of mine has a stock tbolt and I got the latest BAMF GB Tom on mine. She texted me today and by her info in the text I had the green video camera. I hit it, it called her and I could see and hear her. She doesn't live in a 4g area nor hooked up to wifi at the moment, but for whatever reason, like I said I could see her and hear just fine. So looks like it might work from 2.2 to 2.3 with better circumstances. Hopes this helps.

I finally got gtalk video and audio working for two way calls on gingerbread
The solution has been out, but I guess I just didn't do a good job of googling. Flash this Google Package File in recovery after wiping cache and davlik.
You can also just read the thread where I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793. The same file is listed under "to install" step#2, Alternate3.
After installing this, my Gmail app was missing so I installed it from the market. I had to install the thing twice before it finally worked b/c it force closed on me with the first install.
I haven't tested the calls on wifi yet, but it was clear on 3g. Only gripe I have is that the camera view is rotated.

If not then it would be considered as warez and therefore should not be posted here.

In some countries people cannot find Skype on the Market. I'm not 100% sure but there are probably limitations... Anyway, it is easy to workaround them using MarketEnabler.

Skype doesnt support video on the Galaxy tab because they claim Froyo doesnt give access to the front camera. This is BS though, because there are many other apps that do.
Try Clearsea. Works great and there is a PC client too.

I totally agree with you. A hacked version of skype works well with FFC though rotation still needs to be worked on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
Does anyone know how to modify the OS to report that the phones one of the very poor selection the lazy people at skype could be bothered to make it work with?
Or would it require a mod to the app itself (same question who knows how to do this?)
Thanks in advance
Maybe modifying the build.prop? Just a guess!

If everyone took that attitude, XDA forums and the like wouldn't exist because we'd all be sat waiting for HTC / LG / Skype etc to update software...
These forums exist because the developer community can usually make things work better than the software vendors or before the software vendors.
This has already been hacked to work on the Galaxy S and S2.......

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.
still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!
Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

You can make nandroid backups available through CWM, check out designgear's thread
Edit: Oh yeah, and my suggestion for a ROM? I would love a ROM that comes debloated, deodexed and zip aligned (just for easier theming - that does make theming / sharing themes easier, right?), has the speed tweeks/optimizations available for the Optimus 3D, obviously AT&T radio, and if I can dream a little, several more preinstalled fonts, LP or a psuedo gingerbready launcher, and some light theming with some matching backgrounds* and a matching bootup animation. A kernel that allows for OC would be nice to have I guess, but I can't imagine using it to be honest; the battery life is so bad already.
Good luck!
*If you know what colors you're using, I'd be happy to find or create matching backgrounds and/or a boot animation if you want.
If Possible and a big IF considering I have yet to see a device not HTC Branded that uses Sense but Would love to see a sense type Rom IF possible. Also would love an OC kernel considering battery isn't really an issue for me considering I am Always by a power source, that and I sit at home all day lol. Even if I didn't I would probably Underclock and Undervolt for battery Life than OC at night when I got home and wanted to do stuff on the phone.
I am looking through everything for the LG Optimus and I'm scouring the Texas Instruments site to see if I can find something there.
