DroidCam 1.5/6 Beta Testing

I don't know if you've heard of DroidCam .. but it lets you use your phone as a webcam. Currently its only available for Android 2.0+ devices.

As I continue working on improving the main version, I would like to test a 1.5/6 compatible version in the wild. The main problem is a big flaw in the Android Camera API -- apps Force Close when accessing the camera with wrong resolution settings (which vary from phone to phone :rolleyes:). What I'm looking to get out of this, is what resolutions work for which phones, and the amount of work/time it takes to figure out what resolution works.


Cheers!

EDIT: See my post at the bottom!
 
Hey,

I would be interested in beta testing, but as i wrote in your forum (FAQ) i cannot find this app on the market.

Using Ubuntu by the way.

If you are interested, can install APKs onto your phone from your PC please send me a PM. Include your phone brand/name and your email (make sure its correct!). I am going to prepare the 1.5 version and some instructions and will get back to everyone with those.

Cheers!
