this app works on hero rom, just a bit of lag time for video to start playing 2-5 secs
can't wait for more development
This app is awesome! lol, no lag here. But for sure I'll be using it over the default ringer lol.
Current vid on it:
SNSD - Gee
I like this, vid quality could be better, but I haven't really gotten a chance to mess with it cause I'm at work, but first impression is good.
Funny that this is available today, I was literally thinking of something just like this last night, then bam, here this is. Sweet.
i wish we could use a video that is more than 30 seconds, but overall this is an great application!

So what brand of videos does this use? mp4, 3gp some other proprietary format?
The videos suck. I can't find instructions on how to use your own. I don't know what half these songs are!

8So everyone begged for it and here it is, a beggining to end revamp of the ffc mod thread.
Original threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804146
(note im doing this from my phone, so please let ne know of any typos, broken links, or missed topics)
This will be in Q&A form, so lets get started.
1) Where do I get an FFC?
Globaldirectparts.com sells them in bulk, shipping is slow, so now your best bet is ebay.
2) How do I install it?
Start here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOvt6atrin8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Then here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8436475&postcount=375
Video removed...
3) I got it installed, but how do I use it?
Most custom roms include support for the ffc. If yours does not there is a flashable zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11172683&postcount=1482
4) My FFC is blurry... wtf?
You need to focus it, there is a small ring on the FFC, play with it until you find the sweetspot for you.
5) There are red lines in low light, is there a fix?
Currently no, there has been signifigant progress on lowering the amount, but its not perfect yet. Be patient its coming.
6) How do I videochat?
First you need an app called sgstools, get it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Next go into the .prop editor and select build.prop. Press menu, and then unblock. Now for every field that reads "SGH-T959" change it to "GT-I9000". Hit menu then save, now reboot. You can now go to tye market and download apps such as fring and Tango!
7) In the chat app, my image is rotated 90degrees.
Its an app problem. Ask the person you are chatting with if they see you sideways, if they say yes, uninstall the app and try changing your build.prop to SPH-D700.
8)What if I have more questions?
Ask them here, I vow to keep this thread flame free. (although there will be sarcasm)
9)What is SGStools?
Its a program used to install the i9000 cam, change build.prop, anf even access hidden features of your phone such as gps test and network status. You can find the latest version here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Thanks to Sirrial, Kellylewis, Scrizz, Master, Eugene, hell everybody, we've been working on this for 4 mos. and we are the reason the Vibrant 4g exsits.
Update: There is an update to sgstools. After you install, reboot then open your market. When you look at your apps list you will see an update, dont click it you'll get an error. Instead, long press it and select update.
(I didnt do this to step on toes. There was a huge demand for this. If you want faster production I highly advise on donating to Kellylewis, he is trying to juglle this project along with life and service to.his country, correct me if i'm wrong there. Also I purposefully left out the test kernals posted before because they aren't a full fix and have produced errors with kb1 roms)

Thanks for the new thread it really helps outs. I'm just waiting until the V4G comes out to pull the trigger on the ffc.
Fear the beard...
Alright, clean slate.
We need to search the old threads for the updates or latest 'news' of what has happened to this.
I'll take my part in searching certain post by KellyLewis on what progress he's done to this, along with other users.
Also, OP, we need an extra space for all the post that has attachments, you know how it is, everybody will start asking "where can i find that one attachment that fixes...etc." on this thread. We don't need that such.
I believe Siiral had a one stop shop for the attachments, and i think we can just link that up for that particular post?
What you think?

Ok im on board with the new thread. Im talking to my kernel dev as I write this on more things to try. The issue were having right now isnt banding well what were used to anyways. We have color lines at the moment like greens and blues, we got rid of the red and white so far. We get rid of one and create another.
If your feeling generous.

I've a FFC mod, i'd like to know if it is possible to make a video call to a phone number, with no other application like tango or fring.
Thank's
As I have stated before I'm a amateur photographer and I have learned that in low light situations it is very important to understand that banding will always be a major hurdle. Since this is a "Fixed" lens, and the camera has no flash, post processing of video/pictures will IMO go the furthest with lessening/eliminating banding. Have you guys been able to find what (software) the I9000 uses for this? Can the Image Stabilization software be tweaked? ISO be increased or shutter speed be sped up. I know I am asking/presenting more problems than solutions but I really think that these are the key.
There's a nice little camera apk that can be flashed on page 149 of the main thread that could go in the op.

this is very true, as i am filmmaker and have been working with film for many years. if, like you say, it is an ISO problem, which it seems to be, it is all software, and we need to figure out how to let more light in, or somehow bring up the contrast (which might also fix the problem).
we need more light to go into the lens
We do need more light in the lens I took a video outside in the daytime and there was almost no banding only indoors or artificial lighting is where the banding is bad

I'm on board as well, I did some work on grounding... succeeded in frying one camera, won't be so clumsy on the next.
I think it would help to incorporate some of the findings in one part of thread (op)
Then at least we can get rid of the redundancy and repetitive questions.
BTW my earlier Nikon DSLR's had banding issues as well in low light, so it is a common issue
has anyone been able to successfully swap out their vibrant (if necessary) with t-mobile after applying this mod? I have it done, and am thinking about trying the nail polish trick to see if i can get a replacement for dropped calls. just not sure if it will work.

really? i've been trying but no matter what i do it's still kind of obvious that something has been changed there when you look towards that corner
I have noticed that prior to displaying a photo with the gallery that there appears to be some processing of the picture. I am wondering if the I9000 does that prior to saving a picture to memory. Has anyone tried to import (hope that's the right term) that APK and seeing if it helps?
I returned my vibrant with this mod as well.. So far no extra fees other than shipping since I don't have insurance..
At first I used spray paint.. I spray painted a paper and collected enough paint to let ONE drop drip into the hole..and with a toothpick I spread it around.. But it wouldnt dry and once it did I missed a spot. It was a pain. But I think it works most effectively if done right.. When I returned it however, I just used the black nail polish mentioned before. It was soo obvious but it worked. Btw my camera had goo-gone IN it which made every picture blurry.. (why I returned it) plus my vibration didn't work so....
You should be good

Looks very beta. I get alerts when it isn't my turn, there is no way to turn down game volume, and there's a freaking ad after every turn. I'll wait until there's a paid version and the bugs are worked out.
There was no game volume control in the iphone version, either. I don't know why they don't add that.
There is a volume control look on the side of your phone... no the other side those two little up down key thingys. Press the down one... no the bottom one. Yes that one. There you have achieved volume control. Don't worry its the same setup the iphone had so your not in the stone age.

At this point I still like Wordfeud a lot better. No wasted space for a stupid title bar when viewing a board, very slow/laggy, ads everywhere, and I've come to like the random board in Wordfeud that makes the game really interesting.

+1 wordfeud is superior
for me its unfortunate because the friends and family i want to play against all have iphone and words with friends...so hopefully we see improvement.
anyone else having problems with it seeing your contacts? i had started a sep. thread before seeing this
but the issue i am seeing is that despite having tons of contacts on my phone the only contact it sees is my own gmail account when i select to add someone from contact list? any ideas?
Little to flashy, which makes it smaller screen size. Looks like an update just came out to address a bunch of the issues you guys were talking about.
I prefer wordfeud but like others here, most of my friends/family have iphones/ipads, so this is fantastic so I can play against them.
Yes. You are right about the "key thingys," but an in-app volume control or mute would be more useful. I personally think the shuffle sounds are distracting but don't want to turn down other media that I might be playing to avoid hearing them.

issues with words
in the past couple weeks, i've had the following page pop up as soon as i open up words with friends. i have to close and reopen it 10 times to get the screen to go away and let me actually open up a game. has anyone else seen this before, and does anyone know a work around beside just closing and reopening?

Try installing it and opening wordfeud. 100% fix, you'll never see the screen again as long as you don't reinstall wordfeud.

If you are running a custom ROM it could be the host file is blocking the IP addresses of the ads that Words with Friends uses. I was having this issue and ended up going into the host file to edit out a few of the IPs that are used for WWF ads.
Here is an XDA thread to help with the IPs. You will have to do this each time you flash a ROM, but it works. Or you can save your edited host file and copy it over the new one after you flash.
To solve that URL popup, download SGS Tools, go to Fixes, and Update HOSTS File. Worked for me.
After the last update, Words With Friends has been working fine for me. Even though I am enjoying Words With Friends is it worth downloading Wordfeud?

tried to use the SGS tool for this, didn't solve the issue. I'll go in and manually edit the host files I suppose...

Hey all, Nexus 4 convert here... Love the phone so far, but missing some tweaks on the AOSP system that I am really starting to feel in my day to day tasks. My biggest miss right now is the auto-reply from the pull down menu. Anyone have any ideas or think this is something I could get if I pulled the apk from another ROM? Thanks team!
I am not an expert but I doubt you are going to be able to pull the .apk to get the identical feature. I think you are probably better off getting a 3rd party SMS app to reproduce the functionality. Don't take my word for it though, try installing it. Worst that could happen is it doesn't work.

This is more of a rant than anything. Does anyone have a good working YouTube app? I just noticed recently that the app will not play newly selected videos right away, it just plays the beginning of the Queue everytime you select a new video. Also if you stream to a chromecast, if you let the phone or tablet screen go off and then turn the device back on it will stop the video. I have 4 devices and three don't work right. The only one that works correctly is the Ascend mate 2. Huh? My damn Chinese device is the only one getting it right. Can't wait for the Huawei Nexus!

Probably a problem at your end, this is the first post afaik regarding this issue. Clear the data of the YT app or deinstall and reinstall the app if the first option doesn`t work.
Seems weird that 3 out of 4 fail and 1 of that failed 3 is stock on an asus tablet.

And no need to bring race into a subject when you are sore. Especially when the Nexus 6 is a "chinese" phone also. Research on Lenovo, and look at the shipping threads here on XDA to see where Morotola shipped from directly from the plant.

Really? Everybody seems to hate the idea that one of the next nexus devices might be Huawei. Is it not Chinese made, making my statement true? I did not put it in quotes like you hence making it 'racist.' My post was not being racial in anyway. Stop being so sensitive. Wow....
I like the idea that it might be Huawei.....they got some good looking devices.
