I can't see how gdigicam would refuse to use /dev/videoX. Well maybe it does certain assumptions about video device properties, then that's clearly sth gdigicam should learn how to do right.

I can not capture images but videos with the front camera.

camera-ui2 seems to not only be using 10% of my memory but 40-50% CPU constantly
nohup ~/bin/camera-ui2 > /dev/null&
i know im doing it wrong but not nohupping it doesnt let it continue running after i quit the terminal
what exactly do I have to do to get this running normally?
I do
Code:
sudo dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui sudo dsmetool -t /usr/bin/camera-ui2

they have done for an open source gstreamer based digicam
api is great and it makes it possible to create any third party
camera applications. BUT at the same time they put a closed
source camera-ui on this device which always pops up when
you open the lenscover, and no simple way to reconfigure
this behavior. I just want to remove this camera-ui and replace
it with an open source clone.

Yes, this is not suprising. My camera-ui has a different name(binary and dbus-service name).
That is what I wrote, the additional settings aren't saved. I am
not sure which extra functions are actually useful, and so I
don't want to make them persistent.

video recording. I made some test videos with different recording
time, but the file size doesn't grow linear.

Given the fact there seems to be no usable video cutting/editing app on maemo, a video-rec pause function would be mad useful

some warnings on the console:
dsp_thread: failed waiting for events
I don't know where they come from, and the recorded video
is playable.

Keep in mind that my tests are not science....

Trivial difference noted: films taken under camera-ui get categorised in media player as "recorded by device camera". Those done by camera-ui2 are placed under "Films".
A matter of how the interfaces are invoked perhaps - have not investigated.

Is it possible to add functionality to allow the LED to be enabled during recording or would this require a patched driver?
Out of interest, why an enhancement of the camera app (with the kinds of problems noted above) and not say something built around OSS fcam? It too has some deficiencies..
Whatever, thanks for your productivity...
