[Q] video chat?? - T-Mobile LG G2x

does anybody know a way i can use my g2x running weapon x 2.6 to video chat with a pc im away from my family and i may loose my net soon and only have my g2x they have yahoo windows live and skype its why i got this phone i dont get why i cant

Skype works on the g2x. The only thing is weapon comes with the LG cam, right? You need to flash the stock GB camera in recovery to get skype to work.
Alternatively, you can switch to cm7, flash the new 8/23 gapps, and chat to pc via gtalk video.

yes but i put the lg 3.0 cam on it i like the features i see it will work and wont dont you need 2.3.4 for gtalk video?

yes but i put the lg 3.0 cam on it i like the features

If you want skype on weapon, you need to flash the stock GB camera, no other way sorry.
dont you need 2.3.4 for gtalk video

Do you know what CM7 is? Right now its based on 2.3.7
There are two gapps files for it (marked 8/23) that make gtalk video work perfect.

ok yes i tried cm7i liked it but it did not have lg cam 3.0 i really like it more that the stock and im not sure if i had the market on it two gapps files for it (marked 8/23)??? what do you mean im still new to this thank you for helping

Ok I actually made a little mistake with that. The gapps are actually from 8/28.
Also CM7 doesn't come with the market or any google apps, so you have to flash a gapps file along with CM7 to get them.
You're running weapon so I'll assume you have Clockwork Recovery installed through NvFlash, yes?
go to this link: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
and download the two files:
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
Put those two files and the latest CM7 nightly somewhere on your sdcard, and boot into recovery.
-do a data wipe/factory reset
-go to mounts and storage, wipe system
-go to advanced, wipe dalvik
-flash cm7
-flash 0828-signed.zip
-flash 0828-newtalk-signed.zip
-fix permissions
Done!
If you insist that you want the LG cam 3.0, try oovoo from the market. I can't remember weather it does phone to PC or not, and I think I remember hearing that the other end sees you sideways or something.

[ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CM 7 Daily Kang Builds: Updated 5/6/2011

Hey everyone,
I started doing daily builds from the CM 7 source code just for myself but then people asked me to share them so I figured I would post them and share them with you crackflashers out there so you have something to flash as you wait for the official nightly
This is UNOFFICIAL and is NOT supported by CyanogenMod. DO NOT SUBMIT BUG REPORTS FOR THESE BUILDS TO CYANOGEN MOD.
This is kanged straight from the Cm 7 source. It has not been changed or modified in any way, just compiled. I will try to update the 2nd post everyday around 2 or 3pm EST with a fresh link
Same installation instructions that apply to the nightlies go for these builds as well so I'll quote the text from Chris Soyars' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058131
"Important!
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
NVFlash for Linux
NVFlash for Windows
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.
Instructions
Download from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999 and flash like you would any other ROM (via recovery or ROM Manager).
Be sure to backup before flashing, and of course a wipe is necessary when coming from stock.
Gapps are available from the usual places, however do not download the version that says it is for Tegra, even though this is a tegra device, as it will not flash.
Mod Edit:

ChrisSoyars Edit:
After skimming some of the posts in this thread, here are some things that you can expect.
What to expect
- Everything working including Wifi, GPS, Audio, Camera, Front Facing Camera
- Screen off animation is not enabled, therefore it isn't broken.
- Occasional audio problems (as far as I know they have not been fixed). If audio does not play just reboot.
- Automagical brightness weridness, this is controlled by the kernel and not userspace, even having it working is very hacky."
Again this is NOT supported by cyanogen in ANY WAY. Flash at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you brick your device. ALWAYS BACK UP BEFORE FLASHING. I wont be fixing anything in these builds or changing anything, I'll leave that to the cyanogen crew to do So if you have issues or bugs no sense in reporting them as I'm sure they will be addressed in future official CM 7 builds

Alot of ppl that are kanging g2x cm7 have the date and time as part of the file name, then when we put it on the sd card we don't get confused if we have multiple updates from diff ppl, in the same folder. just a friendly suggestion. and would help ppl out.
Oh and i did try this kang out it is getting better and better, but still some minor things that make it a non-daily driver for me, but they are small and will hopefully get resolved in the near future....but man I love CM7 on this phone!

I always had that happen on all the CM7 versions I tried. I had to go in and select the network manually to AT&T and then after it failed to register on the network I selected Automatic. Then the APNs would come back and I could get online. I don't know why this works but restarting never fixed it for me, it only caused the APNs to go away.

[Q] Newer G2X - Root issues

Maybe someone point me in the right direction? I am having trouble finding a relevant thread (I have searched). I have the newer T-mobile G2x the ships with Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed and I need to root it so I can install a 2.3.4 based ROM that allows for Skype video capabilities. Neither Gingerbreak nor One Click work. Any ideas?

Haven't searched hard enough, there is no oneclick, no gingerbreak, simply go to dev section look for "nvflash cwm recovery" after you have recovery flashed you can install any rom.
Don't worry dude this phone is actually really easy to hack.
All you need to do is flash the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, and then flash a rom.
Follow the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Flash the latest one 4.0.1.5
That will get you CWM, then all you need to do is flash a rom such as Weapon 2.4 or CM7 nightly and voila! You have root.
BTW, the G2X GB rom is 2.3.3, not 2.3.4.

Lame.
I was under the impression (wish I could link) that Skype video was working on the G2x with Android 2.3.4. Are you saying that you all have 2.3.4 (or some variant of it) and Skype video does NOT work?
What about gTalk video with the front camera?

We don't have 2.3.4. The LG update was 2.3.3 for some reason.
That's why I want to root - to flash 2.3.4. If I can't do Skype video I might not bother.

After you install CWM via the link right above this post, you will be able to flash roms and other goodies.
First flash the latest CM7 nightly... but be sure to wipe /data, /cache and /system first:
1) -wipe data/factory reset
2) -mounts and storage
-format /system
Then flash the nightly:
-Install zip from SD card
-choose zip from sd card
(If you don't have an sd card install the "internal" version of CWM and place the nightly on ur internal SD)
Then flash the latest gapps: (same flashing procedure as above)
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
Lastly flash the zip in the link I provided earlier.
Let me know if u need this in any further detail.

And so you are. Quote from Skype support:
Video calling over Skype is now supported by Android. To make Skype video calls, you will need:
An Android phone running Android 2.2 (Froyo) or above.
1Ghz processing power or more (recommended)
Front facing camera.
Chipset with NEON technology support*.
The latest version of Skype for Android (Skype 2.1 for Android and above).

As far as I can tell the g2x Tegra 2 chipset is not NEON compliant, as you probably know. Serious bummer.
On a related note - I was able to get gTalk video working...badly.

[PATCH] Fully Working Skype on Gingerbread.

Hello all,
I've been messing around with the camera's driver library and parameter files and I finally managed to correct the parameter issue that was preventing the modded skype from using the front camera on video calls while using Gingerbread.
Now Skype is fully functional again. Bluetooth headsets also works (A2DP) even Bluetooth microphone works! (Using the official Skype app.)
Confirmed its working by 4 people now :-D.
The modification works in both theos00's V12 version and the official Skype app from the market.
Please don't use droidrx's version since it doesn't work properly and it's outdated.
Just flash it through CWM, uninstall and reinstall skype and you are set.
NOTE:
The patch is really simple and can be done manually. If you have a modified build.prop file and you are an experienced user please edit the file manually by making the changes below(If you have it already, you need to reinstall skype after these modifications):
Code:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=lge_Cosmopolitan
ro.product.device=p920
ro.product.board=omap4sdp
ro.build.product=p920
If for some reason you flashed the build.prop file already and got issues with other programs, then use the recovery file and do the changes manually instead.
Well dont use skype but if it works good job. Glad to see so many people contributing.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.
Instead of skype, I'm using Tango.

The modification works in both theos00's V12 version and droidrx's version.
I recommend theos00 V12 since it has much more features and it's more up to date.
Don't forget to check the preview surface option if you use droidrx's version. theos00 V12 doesn't need that.
Just flash it through CWM, uninstall and reinstall skype and report back to this thread if it works for you.
EDIT: I updated the zip. Those who downloaded it yesterday and have problems can flash the new zip.
EDIT2: It's confirmed now that also the official Skype app from the market works after this modification

Now the camera don't work properly with Fring. I see my image inverted. Can you do something?: (
Are the files you changed loaded on boot or loaded every time the camera is being used?
I think that a simple app could solve this by letting the user change the files when they use skype and change them back when they are using other apps that wont run correctly with the modified files.
EDIT:
Saw now that it's the build.prop file and the TICameraCameraProperties.xml file which is loaded on boot.
So creating an app that requires root that basically changes back the files is easy, but it would required a reboot of the phone.
EDIT2:
I cant find any changes made in build.prop? Sure you changed anything there? Just found changes in the .xml file. Better leave the build.prop file out else this update will only work for v21a.
Anyway, great work!

Inverted how? Upside-down or mirrored? Mirrored meaning your right side is on the left. If that is the case then it's not a big deal if at least skype works!

The changes both in the xml file and the prop file are minor. In the xml file, the only thing I changed was the default resolution values.
In the prop file I changed some entries like the product and such. This is vital for the recognition of the device by the apps.
I think it might work with just the prop file. The xml file is needed by the modded droidrx and theos00 apps since they need 320x240 in order to work otherwise it's black screen. In the GB firmware the default resolution is 640x480 for the front camera so neither of these apps work.
I will try now with just the prop file changed and I will post back the results.
EDIT: Only droidrx version seems to have problem with the resolution. There is really no need to use his app since it's way outdated. First post updated with more info.
I tried this patch but is not working, all I can see is a simple black screen from both sides

I've the same problem. With fring and skype. I use the king's Rom
Although I tried this with the official 21A and also with acura v5 and echts baxter roms, I see no reason not to work with other roms too. Did you try to uninstall skype and install it again? About fring I don't know. I will give it a try later.
You really need to uninstall skype and install it again. Otherwise it wont work.

I don't know about Fring, the thread is about Skype actually. And that is reported that works fine with any GB roms I've tried so far. I don't know if you use froyo but I haven't tried it yet.
So try that: Flash the restore file I have on my first post, then download again the patch file from my first post and flash it again.
Restart the phone and uninstall then install the official skype from the market.
Tell me if both Fring and Skype work normally
I'm sorry but Fring don't work. Skype is ok but I use so much Fring too. Is the only one app that work nice on nokia too for the videocall.
Hi!
Can you explain better how to install the patch please?
By example
Install skype from market
flash the zip
uninstall the skype
install the skype again from market..
I dont know if that is the right way to do it.
Thank

Actually just flash the zip, uninstall skype and then install skype from market.
This is enough

Please give me some more info about which rom version you are using and which skype version also did you uninstall and reinstalled skype after you applied the patch? Rebooting the phone is not enough.

Hi m33ts4k0z
Thanks for your help. Yours is a fantastic work fixing skype video. It is shame on LG that they could not fix these kind of issues before releasing firmware updates.
Once again thanks.

I noticed that sometimes when you start a call, skype will just not show you your own video. It will send your video to others but it won't show it to you as you will just get a black screen. Just drop the call and call again and it should get fixed. This is a skype bug and not Androids/LGs one.

It's not so much of an issue. It's just that LG changed some values on the build.prop file by making the phone not recognisable by skype. But the thing that's great is that for first time in history for the Android system, Skype does actually use the BT mic on a call! That has never happened before
Thanks anyway

[Q] USB on the Go for LG P920?

Hi All,
Guess this should be going to the development forum, but can't post there.
I was surfing for USB on the go (USB OTG) and I came across one very interesting link.
http://beyondusb.blogspot.in/2012/04/usb-otg-supported-phones.html
It gives very detailed description / programmme of how to convert the Nexus to use the USB OTG feature ( it was gibberish for me as I am a newbie).
Can something like this be done for the O3D?
O3D with USB OTG rom + internet pass through capability + physical RAM change to Dual Core 1 GB RAM --- OMG, unbeatable combo!!!
CM7 roms usually have this feature installed
USB on the Go for LG P920?
Hi,
This means that if I flash a CM ROM on my O3D, I can have USB on the go?
uh huh! I dont want to lose 3D and HDMI connectivity. Does the CM ROMs for O3D have 3D functionality as well as the HDMI connectivity?
please help.

No. The CM7 ROM does not have 3D or HDMI capabilities.
3D doesn't work because of proprietary software LG has.
OMG!!!!

It's possible although a bit unwieldy. Flash stock rom (wipe everything in the process), set it up, make a nandroid backup, wipe data again, flash CM, make another nandroid backup. Now when you want to use stock, just restore the nandroid backup (no need to wipe data), vice versa to use CM. I've been doing this for a while to test my two roms, works fine this way. Limitations are that your smses, contacts, emails, apps etc are separate in each rom much like how dualboot does it.
