need an emulator with a "fake camera" that seems real to the app

The official SDK emulator has two camera options:

1) "emulation" (this is hard-coded to a moving checker board)
2) "webcam0" (this passes through a host OS connected webcam)

I have a particular image that I need to give an app by way of the
camera interface. The "Fake Camera" app does just that, enabling an
image to be supplied, which is then passed through a camera device.

The problem is that some apps are hard-coded to only use the built-in
camera without prompting the user with a list of all capture devices.
So the fake camera app is bypassed, limiting the user to "emulation"
or "webcam0". It's a shame that the emulated camera cannot have the
checkerboard image substituted.

What about unofficial emulators? E.g.

* Genymotion
* AndroVM
* Andy Android Emulator
* Jar of beans

Do any of those accept an image for camera emulation?

For the record, Genymotion has the same limitation. It cannot
simulate a user-supplied image for the camera.
