Yeah mine just says rebooting the whole time. Im using overcome 2
It has the icon called "talk" still but cant uninstall that its preloaded in Android tab with overcome.
I gave the install superuser priv but says rebooting the whole time.

i managed to run it my galaxy tab gsm (EUR) but how do i switch to the front cam?

Running it on stock rooted spring sgt and its great. Install silky smooth. No complaints, well except that it requires root.

plz note i have not personally tested this

I tried the Skype version linked above and on wifi, it worked great. Haven't tried it yet on 3G.

Have not tried Google
Skype work great for chat/calls, but video chat uses only the back camera for now till GB is out
If your going from mobile to mobile use Tango, it works flawlessly, and works with both cameras
Also qik video didn't fail me either

G talk works but the front facing camera sends your video feed horizontal when our should be verticle.
Qik seems to work the best for me although the speaker volume is low. I use my ear buds and the volume is usable.

Once GTG recovers from burnout, his Rogers-based GB ROM (which runs on AT&T phones) should become available again.

[Q] skype/oovoo video call problem

Hey guys I have a problem with skype video calls. After about 1 minute my outgoing video turns green with like 5 small boxes on top, this only happens with the front camera. Whenever i use the back camera the video is fine, has anybody else had this problem? If so how did you fix it. I am using the latest version of skype I downloaded from the android market. The problem with oovoo is that video does not work on my end at all, and the option to toggle camera is greyed out. I cant even take a picture for my profile. I am using the latest version of oovoo downloade from android market. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Did you say video skype?

yes skype video call, somebody please help.

anybody else having this problem with their g2x, come one somebody please help.

How about oovoo?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.

yes it is the skype version ending in 160 and the oovoo version is 1.2.2.648

Anybody getting the green screen when video chatting on Skype?

To be honest, you're way ahead of me. Video Skype is non functional on my g2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Sorry to hear that, I'm running stock Rom with latest Skype version if that helps. The g2x is supposed to be supported by oovoo but it can't even detect any of my cams. I'm sure someone has to have it working.

I hope someone has it working! I'm stuck using Qik for video communication with family. Kinda annoying asking others do download Qik for my sake.

My skype is working okay. So as gtalk and ym video. I use ffc with bfc toggle. Havent tested oovoo yet, dont have anyone to test with.

Maybe it doesn't work because I'm in stock rom, I see you are using your own mix Jose. How does it work? maybe I can root my phone and give it a shot.

My mix is stock based.
Rooting is a risk, it's a decision you have to make...
If you decide to root and wanna try my new mix, just give me a pm and ill give you a link. The link in my sig hasn't been updated yet.

Stock camera question

I just noticed on the galaxy s3 while on a call I can't use camera. (It gives me Unable to start camera on a call). I know on my wifes DROID Razr she could take pictures while on a phone call..
I'm stock rooted with trinity kernel.
Is there a fix for that?

I'm on Synergy and have no problems using the camera on call.
Can you try downloading a camera app from the play store (maybe pudding camera or something) and tell us if you get the same result?
Also to the other people experiencing this issue, what roms are you running?

the stock camera won't do it. use aa third party camera app

Downloaded pudding camera didn't work during call. But another 3rd party camera called camera ics did work during call. I guess I'll have to switch to synergy.

Record Calls

I tried few none of them recorded the voice from the caller.
Thanks,

Some Roms have it built in. I know Sky ICS had it and it worked well. Just remember that recording calls without consent can lead to problems..

Total recall claims that their recorder works on jellybean with root privileges. I'm currently in an email back and forth with the developer trying to get it to work on e skyrocket since it is a variant of the s2. I defiantly need the ability to record calls but I really don't want to downgrade. I'm currently running cm10 and it's soooo super smooth and fast.

Ihave been trying to get call recording to work on this damn phone for a while now and I'm getting a little tired. So far I have flashed like 6 ROMS in 3 days. I am currently running embryo 5.4 based on this thread but the recordings just comes out as a buzzing noise. There is nowhere in the rom settings that I can play with the recording settings,... Does this have anything to do with the modem I am using? When I do a complete wipe and fresh install through cwm does it change the modem? Does the lack of call recording ability even have to do with the modem?
Lol, please help me, I need this feature haha.

Mine works fine on embryo with the lf6 radio. No cwm does not touch the radio when flashing roms or wiping. They have to be manually installed.

Tasker can do it, there is a downloadable project for it, I tried it briefly and it worked fine, but not for calls on speakerphone.

Ok, so I am running embryo 5.4 and after I flashed the old modem from gingerbread, the recording works flawlessly.the recording quality is awesome and I love the fact that you must press record in the call screen built right into the app but I find the Rom itself very overwhelming. There are sooo many settings and so many different options and apps pre installed. When I go into the manage apps, under downloads there are like 15 different font packs alone. Also the media scanner seems to run for like 20 min after the phone boots, even after multiple starts. And they battery drain is pretty bad. Also Amgen I change the dpi to 200 where I like to Run, everything goes to hell. it I have found the best Rom battery wise is c9.1 is there any way to integrate the phone app from embryo into cm 9.1? They are both 4.0.4.......

Little update on the call recording on the skyrocket. Seems that the base kernel for jb supports call recording right form stock. the problem that I have been having and probably most people like me wanting this feature is simply lack of knowledge on the programming side. After a few emails from the developer of "CallRecorder" it was just getting the settings right. Using that recording app with source set to record from kernel, and recording in wav format all is well. I did lots of searching and flashing to get this right, so hopefully anyone else trying to get this working will find this thread and it will help them.
Cheers
Oh and on a side note,I am simply running cm10 stable with the stock Rogers uclf6 radio, cause I know someone will ask

One word of caution - before recording any phone conversation, make sure you're aware of your state's laws. In many jurisdictions, recording a phone conversation without the explicit consent of both parties is a felony.

Ty, I'm in Canada, you simply have to inform the other party and it is their decision of they wish to speak to you or not
Update.
Re-flashed uclb6 and everything is working great on incoming and outgoing calls, bought a LTE Sim card, not that I think that has anything to do with it but I have LTE on my data plan, might as well use it lol.
