Sorry to ask but what exactly is permission 644? Is that rw--r--r?

Try to run YM with ADB logging and attach the log here.

adb.exe logcat | find "FrontFacingCamera"

Review the previous posts on how to do it.

Open root explorer. Navigate to system/framework and locate this file discussed here. Long press the file then click permissions. Check all first column and all first row. Then okay. Make sure it is writable(r/w).

That's it.

I second to this too.

Looks like this happens to us using fusion sense 3.0.

Im not sure but it seems like there is a video codec incompatibility. Are the other video apps working OK?

Can you please run adb logcat and attach your log output here

Here's a reference how to run it

I don't get anything.

I CD'd to the directory with the adb (C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Root\YMFrontCamADB)

when I ran the command it just sat there blinking

 

[NextineX]

This is what I've entered

C:\WINDOWS\system32>CD C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Root\YMFrontCamADB

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Root\YMFrontCamADB>adb logcat | find "FrontFacingCamera"

And yes my phone is connected in debugging mode and I've rooted it

 

[droidrx]

Have you run YM and try to flip the camera back and front?

 

[NextineX]

Many times, the original camera works. But the face camera just gets a black screen and after about 10 seconds it says that there is no input and cancels the call.

I've tried a few uninstall/re-installs

Finally it responded. How exactly do I export the log? Or would I have to type it by hand?

 

[droidrx]

You can right click the cmd title bar -> Edit -> Mark, highlight the text using mouse and press keyboard ENTER.

You can also redirect the output to a file

adb logcat | find "FrontFacingCamera" > output.log

In this case you will not see the output in the screen as it redirects the output to the file.
