Front facing camera 2.1 - Streak 5 Android Development

I have been trying to take a picture with the front facing camera with the 2.1 software and it seems like the option to switch to it has been removed? Can anyone else confirm this?

if you're referring to the UK leak, yes, its not there.

Although its not in the camera app, its still suported via fring, so at least its api's work in 2.1. You should try the Evo 2.1 camera apk

Just to clarify. The Evo 2.1 camera.apk can be installed on the Dell Streak? What is the process? Would I need to uninstall anything on the Streak first.
Do you think the Captivates camera.apk will work also.
I would really like to get a better camera.apk on the Streak. I especially like the ability to touch the screen to focus

Can someone confirm that the Evo 2.1 camera.apk be installed on the Dell Streak?

I've tried several evo camera apks and had no luck. Either it would not install or could not launch app. Pretty sure i tried a different htc camera apk and was still a no go.

Same here...
It is sooo frustrating to have this great piece of technolgy integration from Dell completely let down by the software part...
Hopefully, the Android community will rectify this but my god...
Michael Dell, your Android dev team SUCKS big time!!!!

ahhh.. looks like the new version fixed it for some phones. Has anyone tried it on the Streak? I'm quite happy with the Fring since 2.2, just need earphones to hear the other person properly.
Can anyone with 2.2 try this and report back if this works with streak?
Thank you!

G'day,
Nope... however, according to DJSteves latest 1.3 release, this should now be enabled.
As yet I have not tested.

Google Maps 5.0.0 and Multitouch

Hi, I´m on DJ Steves 1.5.1 and I am not able to rotate the map with two fingers. Pinch to Zoom and viewing the map at an angle works, but rotating doesn´t.
A friend of mine has the desire and with that phone rotating works, so it´s not the application.
Ok, seems to be a problem with the streak.
Has somebody tried that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9870124&postcount=2163
I am at work right know so I can´t really play around with my phone too much.
I've tried the new maps and I'm having the same issue, no map rotation.
Streaking with the XDA app!

Its doesn't for me at least. Kinda messed up the pinch to zoom and tilt function even after i put back the original file,so i have to reflash 1.5.1, just be warning
BTW are you guys on Stephen's rom? Apparently one of the guy at MoDaCo forum report that everything work on his official rom.
So i was wondering it might have something to do with Stephen's rom
I am pretty sure this has something to do with the market fingerprint being that of a nexus one.
Also having problems with personalized voice search.
Basically I think we are getting some watered down versions of some of the latest google app updates.

At least in 1.4.6 "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" feature is not set in /etc/permissions. After it is set, rotate works properly in Maps 5.0. This has been discussed in Nexus One and Modaco Streak forums.
Solution on Modaco

works fine on the official 318 froyo. if you have unlimited data, i suggest going to menu > more > cache settings > turn on prefetch on mobile.

Tango Video Calling working on my streak.

Please update your Tango app. I just tested it. It works on my 2.2 streak running streakdroid 1.81.
I love this video call app. enjoy!
And by working I mean the front facing camera is recognized and I am able to switch back and forth between cameras during a video call.
OMG FINALLY i grabbed my phone as soon as i saw this post
Just Tango'd my brother who has the EVO, worked fine, decent visuals under the limits of Wifi that I'm under at work, #happycamper
Just updated to 1.8.1 and tried to install tango but I keep on getting error message that I have insufficient memory when I install it. Tried to install other apps like yahoo messenger to check but it was ok. Anybody else having a problem installing tango?

[Q] Skype and modded Skype on Aria

Hello Aria users. Anyone having problems with Skype on their Aria? I`m getting constant force closing. Has any of you been able to make one of the modded Skype versions work on the Aria.
My Aria is on Liberated 2.2.2 ROM
Thanks for the input.
Modded Skype for what purpose? Why not just use Skype in the market?

ah. if i had to guess, it's probably looking for a the camera on the front of the phone that is non-existent. of course, this is merely a guess. i couldn't tell you how to fix it. where do you get this modded skype apk?

I attempted to install the modded version for 1 cam phones but always get an "install unsuccessful" message.
Same here on HTC Legend. I just gave up and went back to the Market's version.
