[Q] Skype Mobile from DINC 2 Rom system dump.Developer needed to modify S.P check - EVO 4G Android Development

Ive got the skype mobile apk installed and running on the evo 4g cm7 rom.... the only problem is that it check to see what network you are on, and if its not verizon its a no go.... even on roam only it say call verizon and have plan upgraded. so theres no out smarting it.... can a developer go into the files and crack it to not search for service provider.... or accept sprint as a provider? we are so much closer to true mobile skype. thanks

What makes you think it's a network check vs. a hardware/firmware/phone check? Just curious, but either way should *in theory* be easy to emulate or bypass.

I just figured because when i was on sprints 3g it said you must have verizon... but when i set my phone to roam only on verizons network, it then said call verizon and have mobile data plan updated, so i used deductive reasoning to assume that its probably testing network some how... idk tho. can you try to edit the files?

I downloaded the attached apk and ran some tests... OP is right, the app does go over the mobile network to verify that you are connected to Verizon. I was connected to WiFi and it used my mobile network all of a sudden to try to login, so i disabled the mobile data and it wont login...

I wonder why they went that route... Now the verizon cant use skype over wifi only..... But yea I kinda knew it was testing the network..... Any luck modifying the files any one?

See if this one works for you.I used to include this app in my old ROMs,but there is no video calls,just a basic data calls...
DOWNLOAD

I would like to add that I tried using airplane mode with wifi on and it doesn't let you sign on. It says not available over wifi. The verizon check has to be bypassed.
I guess baller already kinda said that...

I thought this had video chat. isn't regular skype already in the market? i don't use it, I just thought it was already there so i thought this was video chat skype

The app is fairly obfuscated, but I might poke at it a bit...
Code:
String[] arrayOfString = new String[1];
arrayOfString[0] = "verizon wireless";
also
Code:
String str1 = paramTelephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName();

tryed the apk on xoom and it worked fine. Didn't see any video support.

hmmmmm looks like we were tricked... my understanding was that this version is "Skype Mobile Live" is different than the "Skype" in the market. they even have different icons.... and it was supposedly supposed to have video. maybe its only mobile to mobile video. idk but if its just the same app, its not worth the trouble. But i recall at a hands on they said it had video support.

Well I got past the "requires verizon wireless" check.
I'll mess around with it more at home tonight.

there is no need to mess around with this app. the op has tricked us. this app is the same app that is already in the market available for all phones. skype did show an updated video chat app but this isn't it.

Everything works perfectly on mine (N1 Tmo).
Definitely did not like that Sprint let go of this service. Although I will admit that the little Sprint Football app is alright and isn't much different from what was offered with the NFL app.
Good to see that it is working for everyone else on other networks.
Good job!
do I need to be rooted to use this. the app is running fine but when i want to watch the streaming video, its just stays on the loading screen. I'm using tmobile and is on a wifi network.
latest version? send me ,i try to hack it but i promissed nothing

That's weird. I cannot get it to work on 3G...only wifi, which sucks because if I have a wifi signal generally I have access to a TV as well. This app is best for when you're out and about and want to follow games.
Oh well still very cool and thanks to those that made this work!
For those having problems getting this app to work on ATT via 3G:
open the app using wifi: navigate to the main page of the app(news and videos with the option to watch NFL network on the right)
Now, exit the app by hitting your Nexus home button: now go and shut off wifi: now go back to the app and all should now work via 3G.
These steps are working for me and I can now watch NFL network live via 3G. The important thing is to make sure and open the app with wifi activated, and leave it open while you switch to 3G.
amazing.. I'm sooo exited.
Got it. So we wont be billed, or charged or anything. I see the License Agreement right here.. Also does anyone have an APK to get this to work on the Droid X without paying for vcast? or will this APK work on the Droid X
I'm on T-mobile, but it's working on my Nexus One over Wifi and 3G both
Update on apk
Hey as far as I know this will work on any android phone (unlocked to all carriers), however live doesn't work on Evil's rom but, videos work. On my girls vibrant, live works and videos, going to test and see if it works on vanilla. If you are with Verizon and are trying to avoid getting charged via vcast I don't know if this will result in a bill or not.

I've never had an issue. On the iPhone (not jailbroken) you have to call AT&T to activate. On this one, you get an information tag above the activate checkbox saying:
A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please go to att.com/myWireless or dial 611 if you do not already have this service provisioned.

I've been using that on my Captivate for 7 or 8 months now, AT&T has never billed me. I'm not extravagant in my usage. The highest net data I've used is 4.5GB, but that's for both normal and tethered use. I've never been dinged.
I think if it becomes obvious, torrent or otherwise, then they may try to do something. But as far as I know, there is no way to distinguish the traffic of your phone from that of the connected devices.
My suggestion is try it for a small burst of data, note the time. Reboot your phone after. Then check your account online after a day or two and see whats listed under your data use.
You guys should try a custom apn similar to the captivate and atrix.
Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
Ok... I tried this again after I posted the message. Something seems to have changed in my account. Now I get a "Verifying" message and then a note that says tethering is not available. My guess is that we'll have to replace the IP/Stack to not request verification information from AT&T.
So, sorry, no go yet.

I notice you said ATT, but your profile shows the Canadian flag. So are you in Canada or US with ATT.
I know some Canadian carriers have some tether included in the 3G for free at no extra charge.

guys MOBILE AP in settings! that's native wifi teather ap stands for access point. there is an apk you need to delete or freaze to do it without the tethering plan. ill get details from captivate section and report back.
I can now confirm that Android-Wifi-Tether works.
I used Tether for Root Users 2.0.8-pre1 Wireless
I agree with Dani897, this will ultimately be a matter of replacing the AT&T Modded Wifi AP with the google stock version.

in titaniumbackp if you are rooted freeze ir uninstall "tetheringmanager0326.apk" should unlock it. you can also delete it from adb, rootexplorer, other root file managers as long as you mount read write in terminal emulator, or you can use terminal emulator.
i have a linux machine and use sshdroid to ssh into the phone. that's another way to do it if you get a windows application that handles ssh.

rooting a friends phone:
Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.
You've conflated a couple questions here.
"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"
Most, if not all, do.​
"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"
Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.​

Yes that works or just go to settings>wireless and networks>tethering. No need for an app if its built in but if you want one there's plenty to choose from
Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.
For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.

that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it.

It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.
I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.
I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.
(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)
T-Mobile is on a roll!
Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.
They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.
So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.

So using just the VPN client still blocked you??
Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.

Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.

I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.
Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.

Q; Fios Mobile app

Hi. Need a little help here. I am a FIOS subscriber and I can watch a few select channels on my GS3(outside of my home network) thru the app. Problem is, they only allow the NFL Network to play on tablets outside of the house. I wanna trick the Fios Mobile app into thinking I'm on a tablet, so I can watch Thurs night football if I'm not home. I tried the app settings module to change the DPI, but it did not work. It changed the DPI for the app like it is supposed to , but I still can't get the NFL Network channel to show up. Do I have to uninstall the app and change the dpi of my whole phone, and then download it maybe? Dont want to try it yet before I get a little advice. Any help would be great. Thx
First of all, congratulations I have Comcast and they suck. I would switch to Verizon but they don't have FiOS available in my area. Second, I think it's possible here's a link discussing this topic:

Thanks, I love my fios. Hope you can get it eventually. Anyways, Thanks but I already saw that post the other day. The xposed module trick didnt work for me. It changed the screen size to really tiny but still no NFL Network on my phone tho. I also tried the market helper module too. I wish I knew if it is the apk, when I download it from the playstore that installs it as a phone apk, or is the apk the same for phone or tablet and it looks for certain settings or something, to know whether it is a phone or tablet? Thanks for the reply tho. Guess I'll make a nandroid and really dig in and start messing with the build.prop or something. Thx again.
I live in a Verizon area with no FIOS as well and Suddenlink sucks. Yeah, all I can figure is maybe changing your build.prop to say you have a tablet. I don't really have more details but I am pretty sure there's 1 line that specifies the device.
