[Q] Micromax A70 Video Call - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have just got the micromax a70 android phone (ver. 2.2.1). It has front facing camera but not the videocall feature, due to (according to me) lack of support of video call in android 2.2.1. Could anyone please describe me the procedure to upgrade this device to 2.3 ( Custom ROM ) or could there be workaround which could be used to enable video calling in the phone.
If Custom ROM is not possible. Could anyone provide any third part software which will enable video calling in android? (HTC android phone running 2.2 support video call due to HTC customisation)
Could Such A Customisation Be Possible For The Micromax A70

Ya even i am in a confusion to buy this phone as this doesn't have a video calling option so i want to know weather there is any update to come by for this phone or as A60 was a variant of ZTE Penguin, Is this phone also some kind of variant ? So that we can at least get Cyanogen Mod for that Variant...

hi
Let me tell you one thing direct video call is not possible in Android whether you have 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3.
You can do video calls only through internet. try these apps - skype, fring, tango... all are free apps. you can find it from market.

Re
Can the android kernel be modified to support video calls?
I mean a custom android kernel.

I am able to video call using fring with this phone now!
and it works flawlessly

can you pls share the experiences with your phone

Hi
Try enabling video calling in skype setting ( from androidos.in/2011/08/skype-adds-video-calling-support-for-more-android-devices/ ), and let us know if this works. Additionally, I am interested to know if 3g video call works on this.
Thanks.

QIK App for HD2?

hi everyone,
did anyone of you guys manage to get QIK running on HD2? I can install it and it runs through installation without any errors. But as soon as I try to start the application I get a black screen and nothing happens.
if you don´t know about qik, here´s the link
http://qik.com/
cheers.
wil
Same here.
Tried some QIK versions for HTC, but none of them worked. What a shame for the most expensive HTC device.
Same here! And BambUser is worthless to on HD2, flickering pictures...
I posted something in thos thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629080 but i don't think anyone has seen it.
qik, is a great Programm!
Cooks take a look on this, please make it run on HD2.
I wanna live stream videos to my friends!
Check qik.com for more information.
The new HTC EVO 4G runs it too!
hd2 is not on their supported device list. maybe that's why it's not working
I checked out the forum of QIk and even their employees are like sorry WE DO NOT OFFER any support for HTC HD2 and the employee posting in the qik forum goes on to say we have no ETA for support for QIK.
So we need to find another service or someone would need to modify the QIK App for us HD2 owners if that is at all possible.
Check LiveCast, not sure if they support the HD2

Live cast works but has a flicker..Not worth it
Live Cast is too bad Video Quality.
Unbelievable that no of the Live Video Streams works in good quality with the HD2:
Programms checked:
qik.com
flixwagon.com
kyte.tv
DOES SOMEBODY KNOWS ANOTHER GOOD WORKING LIVE VIDEO STREAM
SOFTWARE FOR THE HD2??
I believe that Qik will become backwards compatible with the screen resolutions and settings once the EVO 4G is released.
Granted, it'll start with the Android platform... but I'm sure that will open some possibilities for us Windows Mobile users with the HD2.
New Bambuser version that works... better...
Hi!
There was a new update for Bambuser this week and it works slightly better than the one before... but just slightly The flickering is still there, but now you can edit options and return to program without retstarting it like i had to do over and over again when trying different settings...
320x240 works ok now!
kick the Qik post 2 update 4 HD2
What is the best solution to get Bambuser on my HD2?
I look at your video ToddeSwe, and wonder how you get so much better quality then i did.
Hope anybody have a good answer
This live streamşng problem is just unacceptable!
HTC HD2 is an expensive device, HTC claims this is better than iphone (and it really is) but this is a huge problem.
Even ****ty Nokia's can do this..
HTC must do something, work with ustream or qik or bambuser and come up with some solution.
Solution to qik on HD2:
use darkstone's Froyo 2.2 android port v2.2 on your 16GB SD card (doesn't take much space at all) and the once in Android then goto Anroid market and then download QIK and u will be able to use it properly. It worked for me and I am using a TMOUSA HD2.

[Q] Skype on android WTF???

Hi,am a loyal winmo user went from HTC Touch->HTC HErmes->HTC Kaiser->HTC TP2->Xperia x1
Now after like 6 years on winmo and the advent of the noobified WP7 , i thought that i was ready to make the big jump to Android, and was eying up the Desire/Samsung galaxy S or willing to wait for the VISION (QWERTY)...then i came across the DEALBREAKER :
is it really possible that since the blocking of fring there is no way to make Skype to Skype voice calls on android over WIFI?
Not even anyone on this site can hack something together ??
BTW i am based in UK and would have to fork out 500-600£ for these devices (7-900$) as i dont believe in contracts..and make 90% of my calls on skype to skype over wifi...so i hope you can all understand my shock at skype not working given it worked on all my my 6+yrs old legacy winmo devices..
howzit
give nimbuzz a try
it works on the desire and it has skype calls and im's
double post

I want the galaxy S with Gpu!
i read that it works on the desire but also read that on the galaxy there is a mic issue and it works only over 3g/umts not wifi...
the funny part is that i have a skype client installed on my dhd, from the market and i can make a call via wifi or 3g...

[Q] BIG Android Query !

Hello everyone,
(This is about Video Calling on Android platform.)
I currently use the Nokia 5800XM, and have to change it this month itself. And the transition has to go from symbian to android.
I've come down to two phones, the Google Nexus S, or the HTC Desire Z. I really love the qwerty pad on the desire and the HTC UI.
But, I had almost narrowed it down to the Nexus, due to the front camera, Gb 2.3, the GPU, and the Amoled display, but I read somewhere(probably on wikipedia), that Android does not have a native app for video calling.
Does that mean that I cannot do any video calls to a phone number through the 3G network of the carrier ?? Coz when I searched google, I only found apps that did that over Wi-fi or 3G, but through the internet, and to an id, not on a number. For example, when I had to do it on the 5800, I just had to select the contact, click on call, and then video call. Is this possible on an Android device ?? I mean it should be !! (Probably this will make me go for the Desire)
What I'm asking basically is can we make video calls to phone numbers and not a user ID (coz if i use tango or skype or fing, the other person should also thave the same software installed) ??
Please Help !!

[Q] Why there is not a VOIP recorder

Hi guys
I think all of us ( Android users ) use VOIP apps like skype and viber
and i think all of us need a recorder for theses kind of calls
why don't you develop an app that does this thing or you can hack other apps from other OSs
there is an app called skyrecorder on iOS does this thing
could any developer or hacker make this possible
Thank you all

Galaxy K Zoom Nougat???

Guys, a way to install a custom Android Nougat to our Galaxy K Zoom with the Camera's native application ???
Well, I would be glad, if we would at least have an Android 5.x Version !!!
Well, is there still nobody, who can please port a Lollipop version at least to the Samsung K Zoom ?
I really would need to use the new Youtube App, that supports faster playback and that only works on at least Android 5.x...
PLEEEEAAASE... Many thanks in advance.
No one seems to be listening here.
However there is some discussion on the topic next door:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lollipop-samsung-galaxy-kzoom-t3241468
Hope it helps. All getting a bit technical for me...
