Skype 2.0 video chat on g2x.?

Hey xda well Skype just update and now has video chat on nexus s and a couple other phones and I was wondering if there's a way to make it think we have a nexus but I'm pretty sure it might be the same steps when people tried the Netflix app. Also I think I read its only gingerbread not sure anybody on cm7 might give it a try.? Thanks xda.

I am interested in getting this working as well. I use skype for business as well as to my brother in law in Alaska. It would be nice to use my phone instead of being tied to a less mobile laptop.

+1 so far there is no way to have a video call to a pc.. whether it is skype, gtalk, or msn

+1 comeon skype - i have dual camera's and wifi/fast3g on my g2x - i just want some video chatting to other skype folks.

When oovoo updates thier app, we'll be able to use that to video call computers.

Yahoo messenger video chat works only problem is it uses the wrong camera on the phone cant get the other camera to work
but everything else works great have to dowload the video plug in as well as the messenger from market

Well I just thought it would be cool to be able to video chat with Skype. When oovoo updates ill be using that to video chat.

There is a solution for that in the atrix thread. I am using it and I can switch between bfc and ffc.

You have to change multiple lines in the build.prop. Not just the line that shows your phone model. I used this method to get my MLB at-bat live to work on my Vibrant 4g.
My G2x isn't rooted yet, but if someone posts the build prob I can show you the lines to change.
Try:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
If that doesn't work post a build.prop file... I believe another line might need to be changed..

There is an app in the market called screenshot that works for me. It has a time feature so you set it for some number of seconds and you can choose the file format as well.
It also has a shake to shoot feature if you want to take multiple shots.

the dev removed it b/c of all the negative reviews (whining) in the market

thanks so much. I was just about to search for this, but then it occurred to me it was most likely on xda and what do you know

Xda premium app questions?

Hey not sure if im in the right forum here but I'm having some issues with the xda premium app. If anyone could clarify or resolve that would be great.
When trying to upload images I'm forced to edit my png's to create jpegs and quality of uploaded pics just seems much worse than it was on the free app. Are there any workarounds or solutions to this other than switching between apps.
And also when searching forums/threads nothing shows up on the search bar...you just need to send the query and hope you spelled it right.
Any and all responses appreciated.

If you are using a screen grabber that you can make your own settings changes, like screen shot, use jpg, low quality.

[APPS] Hacked YouTube.apk

This is just a throw it out there kind of idea. I am currently on ICS but using an old hacked YouTube.apk that has a blue icon. I use it because it let's me listen to the video even with the screen powered off. What I was wondering was if it was possible to get the new hacked HD YouTube apk that a the latest YouTube version and let's you play 720p and make it so that it also continues to play with the screen locked? Further more if it is possible, could an apk be made that would continue to play in the background even after the home button was pressed so that the video played in the background while you were in the browser for example or in the texting app?
Also as a final thought, is it at all possible to bypass "the user hasn't made their video available on mobile message" and so the search would show all results as if on a PC?
All thoughts welcomed

I would like that

I'm using the hacked 2.4.4 Youtube app on my Epic 4G Touch, that allows me to watch videos in HD. If someone can make an app that plays HD on all devices, AND allows videos to play with the screen off, that'll be a WIN!

I also hope someone picks this up. Subscribed

You should call it modified YouTube Apk

The PVSTAR+ app that someone mentioned earlier in this thread is great as a Youtube app alternative that lets you play videos/audio in the background.....but a modded Youtube apk project regarding this would be excellent.

I appreciate all the support this is getting and I have contacted that dev and will post here when he replies

4.2 Camera

Has anyone been able to get this new camera to work on Ics, particularly the 360 panorama sphere. I don't really care about the keyboard or click just the camera.

The camera works. Even the photosphere but it works so slowly that it almost unusable on our phone. The first version I downloaded only camera and video worked. There is another version out where photosphere does work tho.

Like I have said in another thread, photosphere requires lots of RAM that our device can't adapt, that's why we can't have it to work properly

This is an OLD phone. Photosphere is a new feature for the newest release of android. You cannot expect everything to work as intended on old hardware.

The Gallery has issues as well. Crashes whenever you attempt to Edit or Crop a picture.

For what its worth here's a link to the version I'm using.

Aw. Lame. I'd stay with the new Gallery and Camera if editing worked. Wonder if anyone will fix it.

Hi Dao
do you think we can make changes to this apk, making use of the camera, while disabling other features like photosphere and editing and instead direct their links to the GB photo editor and regular gallery ?

HD video worked fine for me. Tested it just now. I'm gonna keep using the camera as a default as I am on miui and I can always crop photos using the miui gallery. The editing feature is not a big deal for me. Maybe someday it will work.
