How to use Samsung Galaxy Y as an USB Webcam

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtlwNvP9er5T5Yi3gTe09fUBgY6qiMAv-19UQk9UhJUR0OJVdkIGeCx0AFWgpkaZFWFjg9yUrj2XLR2MELZ649px0SUvj20swZ_7ytRmpb9_ze6l4NGbF3Tyo57yFxGmYZty3yryMLd0A/s1600/SAM_8555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtlwNvP9er5T5Yi3gTe09fUBgY6qiMAv-19UQk9UhJUR0OJVdkIGeCx0AFWgpkaZFWFjg9yUrj2XLR2MELZ649px0SUvj20swZ_7ytRmpb9_ze6l4NGbF3Tyo57yFxGmYZty3yryMLd0A/s320/SAM_8555.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The Samsung Galaxy Y is incapable of doing video calls on Skype and other IM clients except the VTalk app which is proven to work with it. There are times you need a webcam to have contact with a distant relative, to see each other live but you don't have a webcam and there is no need to buy one if you're video chatting once a year. For that, you can use your Samsung Galaxy Y as a webcam using an Android app and by installing a PC client on your computer. 
The method which we are going to use is establishing the connection with the USB cable, no wireless methods because not everyone has a powerful mobile network or a router at home. Now I am going to show you the instructions on how to set it up. Before we begin, let's make sure that we have everything downloaded to our phone and computer and begin the installation. 
You would need: 
<ul>
<li>USB Webcam.apk - <a href="https://www.cubby.com/pl/usb+webcam-www.galaxyyarchive.info.apk/_1256d2b2475c4668bb89334215f45cd3" target="_blank">Click here to download.</a></li>
<li>PC Client - <a href="https://www.cubby.com/pl/usbwebcam_for_android_x86_win_r0040.exe/_1a8362111a0a48eaad5cd962036483db" target="_blank">Click here to download.</a></li>
</ul>
Step 1 - Preparation: 
Before everything, be sure to have USB debugging enabled on your phone. You can do that by going to Settings -> Applications -> Development - tick the box next to where it says USB debugging. 
Now download the USB Webcam apk to your phone's sdcard and download the PC client to your computer. 
 
Step 2 - Setting up: 
Install the apk on your phone and install the PC client on your computer. 
You may or may not have received a shortcut on your Desktop so if you haven't, you can find the Windows app installed at: 
<ul>
<li>For Windows Vista/7: C:\Program Files (x86)\USBWebcam</li>
<li>For Windows XP: C:\Program Files\USBWebcam</li>
</ul>
In that folder you should see a batch file named "usbwebcam". 
Now that you have everything installed you are ready to try out your new webcam. 
 
Step 3 - Running the webcam: 
Now connect your Galaxy Y to your computer with the USB cable, then on your computer go to the folder where the USB Webcam program got installed and run the batch file.You should see the following text: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4DPOJUyiQVa-PIWJu46CXCwQpMv3ORXXxQcGQ8qyQ1tMOq2kDVByHprwL0OtPGPxF4mBMSEs9VFnp0U2JCKFsaXeD3xCN3hsS2ntPdaSdgnZM_qjSRHtNGhcgWeMfCQGUJGOLZ_A3pbxT/s1600/cmd.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4DPOJUyiQVa-PIWJu46CXCwQpMv3ORXXxQcGQ8qyQ1tMOq2kDVByHprwL0OtPGPxF4mBMSEs9VFnp0U2JCKFsaXeD3xCN3hsS2ntPdaSdgnZM_qjSRHtNGhcgWeMfCQGUJGOLZ_A3pbxT/s320/cmd.png" width="320" /></a></div>
Now on your phone run the USB Webcam app and you should have a preview of the camera: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh2dlsVIbQE-Wy8osufoWTvhXBS4LZz6nrO3RB2en4G5X3xigECVGFJSaP4lSPXZDk0SeiFFn_syhEXwii4tn0PEyOL5UzCbvdmRDLtDKG1IZD7jWBV4Nhb_Ow9vqoIbkNGvP0opu_83St/s1600/SC20130403-224520.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh2dlsVIbQE-Wy8osufoWTvhXBS4LZz6nrO3RB2en4G5X3xigECVGFJSaP4lSPXZDk0SeiFFn_syhEXwii4tn0PEyOL5UzCbvdmRDLtDKG1IZD7jWBV4Nhb_Ow9vqoIbkNGvP0opu_83St/s1600/SC20130403-224520.png" /></a></div>
That's about it, try out your new webcam on Skype or any other IM client. Also please note that the rotation of the camera preview on your phone may look different than in the computer, you may need to position your Galaxy Y with the bottom being on the left side and the speaker/logo on the right side to get a proper view.

What Exactly is a Custom ROM?

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Hey people this is my first post, I don't wanna rush
up directly to Apps,ROM's,Kernels,etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
First let us know what are they exactly :)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ROM<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
In simple words, a ROM
is the basic Operating System ( It may vary as Gingerbread, Honeycomb
or Jellybean) on which your mobile runs. Just like Windows 8 or Mac on your
computers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are 2 types of
ROMs:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1.Stock ROM<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2.Custom ROM<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The
basic operating system your phone works when you buy them is known as the STOCK ROM. It has all basic needs & it is secured OS, as it is not
rooted at the beginning. It is the safest OS you can have<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
On the other hand, we
have the most Interesting, mind-blowing and Rocking ROM, known as CUSTOM ROMs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
-
Interesting because we have a wide range of   User Interfaces ( UI )
which we can choose based on our taste and preferences <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
- Mind-blowing because
you get to explore things, which you had never thought your mobile could do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
- Rocking because,
words cannot explain ;) Feel it yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Advantages of Custom ROMs<o:p></o:p></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">There are frequent updates for your
 software, bringing up developments,fixing bugs and build new features. As
 the developers who develop the Custom ROMs have no restrictions in
 bringing up the updates.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">These are a lot faster, efficient and use
 much less memory with help of tweaks<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The developer Remove useless garbage,
 such as carrier installed apps.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The developer optimize the
 kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better
 battery life than the stock one.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Disadvantages of
Custom ROMs<o:p></o:p></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">If you screw up
 while flashing custom ROM, you may brick your phone, which makes
 the mobile unusable.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">As developers
 are continuously developing ROMs, you'll frequently face bugs
 while operating it.<o:p></o:p></li>
