Default Front facing camera 2.1

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?

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

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!!!!
