Hi,
this is my first post here but I'm by no way new to the forums - I've been browsing for months just trying to learn. recently I've been looking at upgrading from a GB rom to an ICS rom but have been but off by the fact there are a few comments saying that Skype doesn't work with ICS yet. These posts were a while ago and I was wondering if this has changed and anyone could reccomend a rom which it works with Skype?
Thanks for your help,
Alistair404
Skype was working for me yesterday when i tried it for the first time. Using virtuous inquisition ics rom 3.0.0. Call quality wasn't great but it worked, as did messaging. Didn't use the video calling though.

Hi,
Skype does work,but if you use video,the other person will see you in green.
This is due to the fact that there are issues with HTC drivers .
Hi,
thanks for the help
I guess I'll delay updating to ICS for now as functioning Skye video is quite important to me. I'm guessing once we get a RC leak or the final release Skype will be fully supported?
Thanks again for the help,

I have read through previous threads and I'm having an issue with Skype saying that this version dosn't run on my Thunderbolt. I recently had it running on Stock rom. I rooted and I am now running BAMF 1.6.3 with Kernel 4.4.7 .. I had the same issue on BAMF 1.6.2.
I can download the mobile version or the full version but both of them tell me that it doesn't run and that a new version with video was coming out, yet it was working on Stock. Is there something I'm missing to get this to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Last I checked, the only Skype that works on the Thunderbolt is the leaked video one.

If he had it working prior to installing BAMF, wouldn't that not be true? Assuming the OP isn't lying, it must be a ROM issue. I myself am running BAMF remix 1.6.3. I haven't tried the market versions of skype, but the leaked one does work. Version 1.0.1.1025 I believe. I do have major problems with the video aspect of the leaked app. I can call out, but the app freezes and, well, just wigs the eff out when I try to video chat. I'm thinking this is a ROM issue with BAMF as people have reported good results with Skype video on stock so it wouldn't surprise me if your issue is also a BAMF one.
Skype got bought by Microsoft today...

I was never ever able to use the Skype app, even before I was rooted. When you downloaded it from the market and went to open it up, it would give you the message that it wasn't working for the TB yet but to check back later for an update.
The leaked one is the only one I have ever been able to run. Also, myself and many others are running the leaked version of Skype just fine on DasBAMF, it is not a ROM issue. The leaked version is the only one that will work with the TB.
Yea might just be a BAMF thing, but I'm not really sure. If I find the time tonight I might back everything up, return it to stock rom and see if it works again. I don't know if the video one worked, but I was using skype. I can't post in the dev forums under the update for BAMF yet as I don't have enough post.
Thanks for the responses.

Alright then. Well may I ask what version of BAMF you are on and what kernel? I am trying to figure out why video calling loses it's mind on my T-Bolt...

Hopefully Google Talk video will be on the Thunderbolt before too long. Won't need Skype anymore, assuming Microsoft ruins it.
Try using THIS VERSION. Just make sure in the applications settings your phone is set to allow installation of "unknown applications".(this is the working version w/video)
I will try that version and see how it goes... Thanks for all the assitance everyone.
Mine only does audio. I tried it on stock, and on The Perfect Storm 1.3 and 1.4, using wifi, 4g, and 3g. Same results - only audio and no video. I can actually see the video from the front facing camera before the other person picks up, but then the video cuts out as soon as they do.
Seems like no one else has this problem. IDK what else to try. Thoughts?

DID YOU TRY THE VERSION I POSTED PREVIOUSLY???? This version works even on the stock ROM as I have it running on a stock Thunderbolt un-rooted right now.
Thanks.... That version you posted works great. Apprciate all the help.
Anyone able to install the skype with video on the new leak?
+1 to the question in the previous post.
Unfortunately it doesn't currently support it...hopefully soon
Hey guys, and gals
So i was browsing the ROM section in the Index (SOOOO GOOD btw) And I came across the BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid ROM. I installed this after trying ICS for the Desire S. Anyway, it's a very good ROM, and I really recommend it to anyone wanting a new ROM.
But I've got one problem, I cant make Skype Video calls with it, because neither the Front or Back camera work in Skype. Now I've searched the forums looking for this problem, and no-one has it. So if anyone can help (or link me to a thread I missed ) to fix the problem, I'd be thankful
Cheers XDA people.
Same here i can see the video icon but not able to make video calls.I thinks kernels has to get some thing with it....
Thought so, wasn't sure... Well at least I know now. Will there be a working kernel for it soon? Or will we have to wait? I mean it is a final release, so I'm not sure what we can do. Thanks for the reply though.
I am new to flashing, but I want to get ICS on my Samsung Captivate which will not receive an official 4.0 update from Samsung. There are multiple options for ICS roms; the two I have heard most about are Doc Master's and Team Hacksung's CM9 (alpha). Please leave comments as to the general stability for the most up to date versions of the roms if you have experience with them. I am not interested in a buggy rom; i want one that is stable and that has most/all functions. I am a little bit confused on both forums for these roms how stable these roms are. Especially Doc Master's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462035). It does not list any specific bugs for the versions; does this mean everything works? I'm new to this so I am confused.
Also, if I would flash one of these ICS roms and decide it is too buggy, or I don't want it anymore, can I get back to my stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 (what I currently have). If so, how? Is the best way to make a nandroid backup of my stock rom (does that work for stock?)? If not, what is.
I appreciate your help.
Help please!
Bump. I really would appreciate any help.

ICS rom
I have flashed the 2 roms you asked about. I liked them both until I found Dark Knights ICS 4.0.4. Everything works and it is smooth and fast. I have tried others also, I also liked MIUI but Dark Knights is the best so far for me.
If you search XDA you will find the answers to your other questions. You just have to be willing to read a few threads. When I started I screwed up just about every way you can think of and someone was willing to help me out.
If you go to You tube and search for videos on how to flash your Captivate, many will come up (I am a visual person). Look for videos from Josh at Mobile Tech Videos. He knows what he is talking about and is a great help.
It would probably be better if you posted this question in the captivate forums.
I would post the link but I don't have the power to do that yet.
As for your question, I am currently running the CM9 Alpha version and am loving it. It has been my daily driver for quite some time and I would definitely recommend using this ROM.
All of your questions can be found in the captivate forums. You'll have to read a lot but it's better to read more so you know what you're getting yourself in to.
So I haven't really been following the MyTouch4g Slide Rom scene that much and after going through some of the threads, my question is: are there any roms et with no issues/bugs?
I was thinking about finally rooting but I'm not sure if there's really any reason to yet as I'm not gonna install a ROM that still has issues...
Thanks
Right now Bulletproof is a go for a ROM where everything works. Cyanogenmod 9 is SOON to follow along with others. Take a look and read around tho. Major breakthroughs have been made and things are really looking up for us!

thanks. i actually recently switched to at&t and a htc one x, but i'm still within my return window and might return it all and switch back to t-mobile and wait it out for a while... the htc one x has some stupid multitasking issues and if they're not cleared up (either officially or by some xda geniuses) soon, i'm jumping back. maybe i'll give bulletproof a try.

Try the new Miktouch 0.7 ROM. It is based on the latest OTA (1.63.531.2) and IMO is the most functional ROM available. And it is very smooth and quick, great battery life. The improvements that HTC made to the ROM, as well as the tweaking and cleaning up that the devs did, make it my daily driver. I want everything to work, no "gotchas".

can WiFi Calling be added to either of those 2 roms? From the looks of it it doesn't come pre-installed...

Hello,
I can recommend Virtuous Inquisition to you. Its an ICS 4.0.3 ROM that I am running on my HTC Doubleshot since round 2 weeks and its really good! Till now I did not have any issues with anything but some minor things (once in a while you lose WiFi connection which you can enable again just by switching WiFi off and then on again. This happens only if you do not use WiFi and the phone falls sleep mode - the screen turns black).
The configurations are limitless. It comes with NOVA launcher. I bought the premium version and am very happy with the capabilities and possibilities it gave me!
In case you want HTC Sense, you can check out Virtuous Primadona. I did not try this one but read quite many reviews and its also stable and seem to be running nicely on Doubleshot.
The good thing on Inquisitin is, the WiFi calling is integrated. As I am from Switzerland it took me a while to finlly remove it ^^
Cheers

huh that sounds great. i really don't care about sense so i'd be fine using nova. is the 4.0.3 version noticeably smoother than the 2.3 that comes normally? i would think it would be but also because its an older phone i'm not sure...
thanks

I have been using Bulletproof for months now, and have seen no issues what so ever. Everything works, including Wifi Calling! I have tried alot of the roms here, but I need my rom to be perfect, that is why I keep coming back to bulletproof. I am hoping CM9 will soon become perfect enough for me so I can upgrade to ICS, but it still isn't perfect enough for me. Go with bulletproof.

But if the Wi-Fi continuously disconnects when the screen goes off and must be reawakened to work, that really defeats much of the function of Wi-Fi Calling. How can you receive calls if your wi-fi is disconnected?

I agree that is why I stopped using inquisition...... I am happily using cm9 but if you want three zero problem roms then stock I suggest mik mik v.7, for a beast gingerbread the rubix ics splashed, or if you want ics with minimal issues then cm9 untill the soft keyboard issue is fixed on aokp then I would switch to that.... I am going to do the same once the issue is solved

i guess i'll give bulletproof a try if i even bother. i love android but i also hate android. bah.
I'm currently on pyros ics and it doesn't work with the camera or video.... Which is not a good thing....
Anyother roms have this issue?
If I can fix this , how?

Which Pyro? 1.1.3 and 1.1.1 work pretty good except for a few annoyances....but those annoyances have work-arounds.
Personally, I am on Inquisition until CM9 gets as stable or better than Inquisition.

Hi sorry for the late answer, I am on my finals right now and it's getting harder to find time...
Virtuous seem to have some issues with wifi, though I was talking with tbalden and he said he's working on kernel 3 atm which shows no issues with wifi or 3G / 4G... So let's wait for the next upgrade
For me wifi works good, sometimes it bugs a bit though... Don't forget here they are stil in ROM development so some minor things are not perfect.
You can still try Virtuous Primadonna, got an update a few days ago. For me Cm9 did not work so good, force closing many apps, changed back to inquisition. I suppose we'll have to wait for another month or so to get a rc rom (Cm9, pyro, virtuous or another..)

BulletProof is a great ROM. Along that same design idea is DoubleShot Lite by Ceede. Another you might be interested in is Miui v0.3 and those are just the Gingerbread ROMs I've found to be rocksolid and near flawless. Then you have some really nice ICS ROMs that are coming along NICELY! Believe me, you won't be dissappointed with any of them unless you just happen to be looking for a little issue hidden somewhere.
So tbalden released kernel 3 vinq (ICS 4.0.3) for doubleshot: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
Very recommendable, everything working, very stable, oc to 1.7ghz like Cm9...
As wifi is working also w/o any issues now (at least for me), I assume you can use wifi-calling with vinq... It's integrated btw.
Hope I could help you

Hi,
i'm using BlindBEAN now since v1.3 and i am more satisfied with my Desire S than ever before.
I use this as my daily ROM already - loving the smoothness and the fact that nearly everything is working.
I'm flashing custom ROMs since i got my Nexus One and i my opinion this is the best one i tried so far on any device is tested custom ROMs.
I would have posted the following in dev section, but since i'm not a member for long enough now i have to do it here and hope that someone else can help me out or perhaps i draw the attention of blindndumb himself with the title and the awesome linking system in this forum.
Anyway since we aren't allowed to do phone calls unsing our phones while having them in our hands while driving, handsfree calling has become very important so Bluetooth is essential for any car driver right now.
Sadly Bluetooth isn't working in this ROM yet, can't see any other device nor mine can be found ;(
There's another minor thing i experienced when watching youtube vids or streaming vids by using the browser, the phone does a quick restart.
I know this isn't even an Alpha or Beta but "just" a Preview version and everything else works fine already which is so awesome!!!
Still i would be more than happy for a workaround with the bluetooth issue otherwise i paitiently am waiting for an update from the dev himself
Thanks,
and i very much apologize for my bad english, since i'm from the same country nk111 is from ;P
