Hi, There is no way of getting the camera preview in portrait mode ( as you probably already know) and its very ( very) slow to rotate the preview image. The only option is to run the app in landscape mode and rotate the view that you want to overlay onto the preview by 90 degrees. To do this override the onDraw() method of the parent view (preferably a linearlayout) and rotate the canvas before calling super.onDraw(). Its going to take a bit of hacking.. Good luck!
