Camera layer is one of the features not implemented in the currently released version of alien dalvik. We are currently testing a new version which includes camera support, and will release it either in late December, or early January.
That's nice to hear. :)
Is there a preliminary changelog for the new version?

Oliver ( 2014-01-02 07:09:54 +0300 )@Olivier maker sure you have the update. And if you do you can try any QR reader application. I used QR secure from Yandex, but if you have access to Google Play I recommend "Barcode scanner" by ZXing which is free and uncluttered with ads.
Nux ( 2014-01-02 22:41:18 +0300 )Good news everyone. It does seem to work now. Even tough I had the (sailfish) update, don't know if something else was missing. Anyone have an idea how android actually interacts with the camera hardware?
Oliver ( 2014-01-03 23:18:58 +0300 )My camera is still not working with Android apps. Everything has been updated, uninstalled, reinstalled and updated again - also all the way from factory defaults, but no luck. In Skype no video (not even a choice for video calls in settings), some apps recognise the cameras somehow, but say for each of them: "This funcion is not supported".
