Skype on anything but Stock - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone got any version of Skype working on CM7 or Deck's ROM ?
I have had zero success with any of the current apk's floating around, or even the official app.
Not keen on going to stock just for Skype.

Yep, got skype working just fine on both of my phones... video works to. All I did was install the apk from market

Youtube apk from 2.0/2.1 on 1.5?

Well it's been a long while since the youtube app has worked on my phone. randomly plays videos, mostly doesn't. I know a lot of people have complained.. Well it seems that the youtube apps work in 2.0/2.1. Just wondering if anyone has tried installing those apps on 1.5? Will it work? Would love to have a working youtube app again until we get a fully working 2.1.
I would like to know this as well.
Try it! It probably won't, as I would imagine the newer apks designed for 2.0+ have dependancy for things we don't have in 1.5... but who knows.
All you have to do is download any 2.0/2.1 rom, pull the Youtube apk, load it onto your sdcard, then use a file manager to open and install it. If it installs and works, let us know!
Doesn't work..
confirmed. tried Youtube from 1.6 and 2.0 as well. wont install
i remember when there was the OTA update from sprint.. That is when the youtube app started acting up. Wonder if there was a change in the app? I'm just curious if maybe we could get that apk and install it if it's different. It's really annoying not having a working youtube app.
none of those 2.1 apps work on 1.5, even if you get it to install im sure it will barely work

Offical Netflix app released for us!!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
And it works!
Edit: My current setup is a AMOLD dinc, running CM7 with 2.3.3. 16GB msd in to.
Download from market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
Netflix is apparently blocking unsupported devices when you try to login, I uploaded the apk to my xoom to test it and it did not let me login.
I have the app and have not yet been able to get it to load. I just get a black screen.
However, I noted that the details on the market page state it is official for the Incredible running 2.2, and I'm running CM7.
Has anyone else tried with CM7?
Assuming there are indeed compatibility issues, I'm hopeful the devs will find a way to make it work, because I'm not looking forward to going back to stock, but I need Netflix.
(Actually. Right now, I'm thinking about loading up one of the dual-boot options with some stock Froyo. This is worth the effort.)
Edit: The dual-boot option is awesome and all... But then, I tried again in CM7, and I found that I spent a few hours heavily tweaking my phone for nothing but the thrill; the app works, and I was watching Ong Bak 3 in seconds. Since I don't need a Sense rom, I undid the dual-boot configuration.
So. Works on CM7.
Just saw this. Not showing up for me in the market. I assume its a CM7 thing.
Maybe we can find locate an apk.

Just tested and it does stream on CM7.
Works fine for me as well.

running CM 7.0.2.1 DINC, and program will shut off right after I try to log in
If somebody could post the APK, Thunderbolt folks would be grateful. I know it is blocking unsupported devices, but our devs want to take a crack at it. Thanks!
I am on CM Nightlies and it doesn't work. Considering a move to 7.0.0.3 just for netflix.
Works for me on CM and my DInc

Im getting the exact same thing on latest CM7 nightly
Running stock (rooted) 2.2 and mine force closes immediately after trying to launch the app. Somebody mentioned something about Flash 10.3 so I updated and still get force close. Any ideas?
Not sure if this info helps, but it works fine on mine:
CyanogenMod-7-04172011-NIGHTLY-Inc

Sorry, I'm not sure how that converts to the actual nightly number, but its what I was able to gleen out of the Rom Manager.

[Q] CM7 on SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro without Google account

Hi!
I installed slade87's latest CM7 ROM on my Mini Pro - thanks for the great work, I didn't try all too much, the UI feels really really snappy, and the GPS seems to work better than with the stock ROM.
However, I do wonder if I can somehow avoid having to enter a Google account on this ROM. The original ROM didn't require it (just for selected features), but the CM7 ROM doesn't even allow me to even make calls without a Google account.
I couldn't figure out if this is caused by CM7, or if it is an upstream Gingerbread issue. Maybe there is another ROM for the Mini Pro I should be looking at in order to avoid this problem?
Froyo CM6-latest works
Using the latest CM6 ROM I found, I didn't have that problem. The Google account is only requested for apps that actually need it. Is there any Android 2.3 ROM which works the same way?
worked for me i leave it till i want market as i can st up wifi first i do have net but wifi is faster i asume your using 14.5 as i am and its fine

My bad ... The CM7 layout was so large that the skip button didn't fit on the screen, and I missed it. Thanks for confirming it wasn't the ROM!

Google Voice on GB

EDIT: Mods, please move this to the main Charge forum, accidentally put this thread in the wrong place.
Hey all,
Of the people who use Google Voice, what have your experiences been? I have used every variant of the leaked GB ROMs available as of this point, 8:40PM MT, and GV won't work with any of them. Having GV installed, it will not load up my account when I select my main Google account on setup. Going back to any Froyo ROM it will work fine but GB is no-go. I have heard some people saying it won't work and other saying it works fine.
GV is my main method of SMS since I have my vzw SMS turned off and blocked so if I run a GB ROM, I get no SMS. I have installed GV both from Titanium and directly from the market with no luck. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? I know this is all still very beta and it could just be a flaw in the leak but I really would love to have some Netflix.
- Glitch
P.S. Yes, I have wiped cache and dalvik and still nothing.
In the same boat
I am in the same boat - 100% GV SMS realiant (no VZW SMS at all) and have had the same issues. I've tried installing from TB, the Market... everything I could think of and haven't had any luck. Because of this, and the fact that one of the other apps I use daily (VZ FiOS TV Remote Control App) does'nt work, I think I am going to be headed back to Froyo until the official release comes out.

[Q] Xfinity Play Working on any GB - CM7 builds?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Comcast Xfinity Play app working on any ofthe gingerbread CM7 roms. I haven't had any luck yet. It's running well on my rooted Nook Tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S4g (don't remember which rom it's running). It's also working on all of the ICS builds that I've tried. I would really like to get this running on GB!
EDIT - Well I had the day off and I played around with various builds. There does NOT to seem to be a CM7 rom that is capable of using this app. The funny thing is it doesn't ask for root access through SU the way it's suppose to so there is no way to choose deny. I even whent through SU and chose deny as the default preference and still no go. The app does however play flawlessly in every single ICS build that I've tried. There is more content on Netflix so I'm going to stick with gingerbread but it would be cool to see the app eventually work.
I wanted to edit this instead of deleting in case anyone else has the same question!
