Hi!

I need a command that activates the front camera from command line.(without installing any apps(like mplayer)) If I not mistaken there was the "cameratest" command on N810/800. I need some similar thing... Could anybody help me? (Really sorry for my bad english)

There are "Power Search" and "Search" menu items to be found on the right side in the menu :-)

Here you go, "Front facing camera". No need to install anything, as the mentioned gst-launch is now installed by default (IIRC), just try from X-Term:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! autovideosink

From the Application Manager, install the "rootsh" package.
Then open X-Term, type "sudo gainroot"
Now type "apt-get install gstreamer-tools"

I tried this and it worked, but in portraitmode the picture was upsidedown.

I have read many complaining about the quality of this camere, but the picture was clear and more than good enough for videocalls.

Hi, you need to install gstreamer first. There is a package called gstreamer0.10-gnomlin which you should be able to install from the app manager which will fix this.
