Like the title says, Skype works as it should on EP1Q. FFC and all. Enjoy!
Stock or the hacked apk?
From the market.

Seems nice but I'm more of an official guy, I'd rather stay on Froyo til the official GB comes out. Currently the leaks are pretty buggy and don't have PBJ/very much ROM support. Plus, the hacked version of Skype works fine, thanks for letting us know though.

I wasn't aware, but there is a hacked version for Froyo that allows the front facing camera to work?

It "works" on froyo, just not the front camera :-/ No reason you shouldn't be able to download it. The Charge is a supported device.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
They say that GB has something for the front camera that Froyo doesn't. Which is complete bull**** because stuff like Fring works perfectly...the Skype devs are just making stuff up because they can't code.

I can't get it to work. Don't seem to have a video option
EDIT:: I got it to work by restarting the phone. Video options suddenly appeared.
Try mu builds HERE that works with many froyo FFCs. If your Droid has the same FFC API as the other Samsung devices, it should work. I also keep adding more devices so if it doesn't work on you, maybe you can give me files from your devices so I can try to add it.

Just installed the latest version that you linked to onto my SAMSUNG DROID CHARGE running Humble 1.51.
I called someone on a MAC and the video did not work (not sure what version of skype client was used on MAC side). The call worked but the video option failed.
I called someone on Win 7 with the latest Skype version (downloaded over the weekend) and the FFC video worked fine. Did not try the back camera.
Thanks for this awesomeness!!

Running Froyo - Skype worked fine for me last Friday when I made a video call to my sister that lives in Australia. She was using her Apple laptop and I was using my Droid Charge. I also Skyped my buddy's iPhone4 with no issues.
I don't use Skype from the Market, I used the one that was posted around these boards. It works fine.

The Hulu Plus app was just released. It says that only 6 devices are officially supported and the Incredible isn't one of them. I download the apk via droid-life and installed it on my Incredible running Synergy 06/16/11 nightly and it works just fine. I'm able to watch my TV shows. Here is the link to the post where you can grab the apk http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/22/hulu-plus-lands-on-android-market-for-select-devices/
Works fine on the Incredible w/ Stock as well, just installed it, watching Spaced now.
Installed and works on MIUI 1.6.17.
Works on stock DINC
Thanks for the link. Installed and working fine on my stock build DINC but not sure its worth the monthly fee.
Not worth the monthly fee for me. The hacked Flash + Hulu worked fine, at least on SR 4.0. I'm using Synergy now as well though; haven't gotten around to installing a hacked Flash 10.3 + Hulu, but I know it's possible.

You can watch the non plus shows through the app with a much nicer interface. And that doesn't require a subscription.

So anything you can normally watch without a subscription you can watch with the new hulu plus app?

With roms like pick n pack and heinz 57 I've gotten netflix to open but not play anything... seems like the newest version won't even open....
However, with MIUI it opens and plays without any trickery involved... you can even get off the android market if you are running MIUI.

The definitive answer? You basically need a gingerbread based rom to run it. It won't run on froyo based ones.

You can't download the app from the market, though. You need to download the apk...don't remember where I found it, but search around on here. The apk files have been posted in a few locations.
Annoying pop-up saying there's a new version, but it doesn't pop-up while playing, only while browsing.
Quality is excellent via WIFI.
Working on CM7 with one of the modded version from the netflix thread on the general android apps section. No annoying popups, just streaming goodness.

If for some some reason you get phrasing error try downloading from a different browser, or try downloading from a computer and not your mobile device, but it should install without problems. If you have skype installed already please uninstall first!

Well for all my video chat apps like, qik, tango, fringo, and skype, I go to running apps and kill the process, do this if your app will not close, I have never had to but that should close the app, now remember that you can also configure the settings with-in the app itself too. Optional= make sure in skype setting that close immediately is checked, uncheck skype status in notification settings, and probally uncheck sign in automatically.

Not working for me. I see my video come up when i call someone but as soon as they answer the video shuts off.

Im not sure why it's not working, try clearing the app data, uninstall, reboot phone then install app again, I only tested it on the four roms listed in the the op, I havent used cm7 in a few months now, I've been switching between virus and synergy! Try the uninstall method first, if that doesnt work then try flashing a sense 2.3.3 rom!

I am a noobie to things here, but i have been rooted for some time now and I do alot of reading to learn things from xda. I was also having this problem with both my wife and my EVO. Both are rooted and are running r3charged final. They both use golden monkey kernels. And the problem is in the kernel. So I did a lot of reading up on this, as i always do and found that chopsuye v.9.1.7 will allow you to use hdmi. I have tested it myself and its works the best. Hope this helped.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Could be a number of things really. My wife runs Synergy(Myn's) on 2.3 with the HDMwIn app and the recommended kernel and its perfect. When you first open the HDMwIn app it tells you to download some daemon add on, did you? When i tried without that it didnt work. Also, it recommends a custom kernel in the app t0o and even has a link. Thats the one i use and it works perfect. Keep in mind though that this is all on Android 2.3, maybe you should update.........
I actually had her on a 2.3 ROM and I downloaded the daemon and it did not work, but I didn't do the kernel because I noticed that the HDMwIn app said that it probly won't work on a 2.3, so that's why I switched to a 2.2, but i haven't done the kernel yet, that will be my next move, its just taking me a lil bit as her phone is not my priority...

I would suggest FEARMEde if you don't want the Bliss look. Hybrid is being updated tomorrow, FEARMEde has already been updated.
MikG is a close second.
Word of advice: mount "Data" in "Mounts" section of Amon Ra before flashing the kernel. Newer Sense ports are delicate with that for some reason. I always do it now.
Edit: Hybrid and FEARMEde are both updated now. And they are awesome.
