How soon do you think it will be before Skype with Video gets ported over to the EVO? The Nexus S guys already got it...
I want this too...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think its as easy as tricking the system into beliving we have a nexus s just as it was for others when the netflix released for only certain htc devices.
If we could just get the nexus s build.prop and change our device name to what theres is i think it would work. anyone have a friend with a rooted nexus s and rootexplorer installed to check it out and post the device name ???

I'm no expert but I do not think it is that easy. If it was it would have been done back when the one for the thunderbolt came out. There is already a thread for it HERE (not Evo specific). If you look at the last page or 2 it is referencing the one that was just released.
Looks like someone confirmed this works on the evo. I did try making a call myself but the other person didn't answer so I cannot confirm it works 100% but it appeared to work fine.

This is working on my EVO. Someone posted a patched APK. I think in the Nexus S forums. Anyhow, works on EVO Shift, S, S2 etc.
I never made an actual video chat but the window loaded up and video was showing via the front cam.
Try it out...
I tried this but the other person couldnt see my video. I could see ny video on my screen but when they enabled their video, mine went black and they couldn't see me.

Can someone please upload the apk? I can't download that rar from my zoom. Thanks.
I can comfirm this patched apk works with video !! I have been waiting for this a long time !!
in the android market, download a file manager and then extract it to a folder on your android phone... and then the apk will show up and hen install it.
sorry this is a reply to qpstatus
skype2_0_45.rar worked for me. One thing though is that until I updated my Mac client to the dreaded 5.1 (user interface fail) from 2.8, video was not working -- when the call started, the video button on the Mac side would actually get grayed out. 5.1 works just fine. Makes me wonder what version is required on the Windows side to be compatible with the Android client.

That doesn't help. The issue is that when I try to download attachments via XDA from my stock browser on my Xoom or Evo it won't download successfully. The download gets to 100% and says unsuccessful.
For some strange reason it does let me down .apk's successfully.
Force close on Evo 4G.. "The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Boo :/
*edit, I just read that video chat only works on 2.3(?).. sorry, but I'm not changing ROMS just to use Skype*
Having issues with video calling - my front camera is not picking up any video. Tried lowering the quality and connecting 4G,Wif,3G all with no success - it's just a black screen on my end - and the spinning circle on the far end.
Anyone have any suggestions?
empty zip?
I seem to be haveing the same problem as gqstatus0685. The zip seems to be empty cannot extract anything from it... running latest stock odexed sense rom likely user error will keep working on it. let me know if anyone has any solutions..
Here's a link to the direct .apk -- just download and install.

I can confirm this works 100% on my EVO running Kings 7.3 ROM. I have tried from EVO to EVO and EVO to PC.

Just navigate to the file with Astro or File Manager and click on it. Make sure you have "Allow install from unknown sources" checked (Settings >> Applications >>). Should install after a double click.

I wonder if Cyanogen is causing my error?
EDIT: Flashed King's 7.3 - works great... Gonna try a few other ROMs to see what happens. At the moment Cyanogenmod's 7 - "update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic" does not allow my video to go through. Will update with further testing.
Has anyone successfully installed Google Now on their rooted Skyrocket. I rooted my phone today just for this purpose and its been a no go. I have tried what some of the threads have explained but no luck. I sure would like to be able to do this. Although im a noob im not afraid to try things. Any help would be appreciated.

Use the Mikey V7 one. I'm not sure what the procedure you followed is but if you get the velvet m7 apk from that post, you simply replace the Google quick search apk with the one provided. Be sure to backup your current apk first.
I believe it's located in system/app, but obviously find the exact instructions first, just pointing you in the direction. There's a Google now thread here in the SR section. I believe the apk linked there is outdated but the instructions are correct. Be sure to adjust permissions to match the original Google quick search.

How do I do this. When I go to storage it tells me I have 9.32 GB of free space but when I try to install the apk it tell me I only have 19 MB of free space
Before doing anything, you need to make sure you have at least 60MB of free space on your /system partition for Offline/Online files and 30MB of free /system space for Online Only files.
You'll have to delete some system apps or move them to sd to make room
OR
or you could use Sean's skyics. Google now is pretty much flawless on it, and it's a great rom. Much easier route imo

I don't see a thread about this in our forums. I think we need a thread to upload the latest versions of svoice so we can use it while running custom ROMs. I would put a download link but I need to put it in my drop box first. I'm busy at the moment of posting this though and only have a few seconds. So it would be helpful for someone to post the latest version.

I agree 100%. I pulled the app from a ROM and tried to put install it into mine, and even messed with the permissions but cannot get it to speak back to me. Fully functional otherwise, just no voice.
Well it looks like no ones gonna pose this so moderators can delete it if they want. I'll figure out how to post an s voice app later. I only have the ICS version tho.

I did a nandroid of my stock SGS III ROM but I can't find a way to pull the apk from it. Titanium says there is no data in the cwm backup. But there is. Oh well, I can live without it, or at least until someone else figures it out.

Okay. I found the initial release s voice (Called voicetalk.apk) on the internet. Install this as a regular apk if you want (it works fine for me like that but a little buggy.) I've heard it works better if installed as a system app though. Let me know if its still buggy as a system app and I'll lull a jellybean version of this apk from an official jellybean toutchwiz rom if it doesn't work right.

Of cource the apps that rely on the toutchwiz frameworks will NOT be compatible. But I still find s voice somewhat useful.

I've seen a lot of people asking for this, and since I just stumbled on it last night, I thought this might be my chance to give back to this community that has helped me out so many times. It turns out such a version of MyScript Notes Mobile does exist, and my preliminary testing indicates that it'll likely work with any ROM you throw it at, including Koshu's CM ROM, which I'm currently using. I had the idea last night that since so many devs are intent on taking apps from one device and porting them to another, why not take one of the ports and try to run it on our version of CM and see if it worked? They'd have to remove the check that has been giving us so much trouble and resulting in the error message preventing us from running the app, right?
Sure enough, eventually I found a version that seems to work great...it was meant as a port for the Galaxy Note, but you install it on our TPT and it works just as you'd expect. You don't even have to copy anything to your /system folder or mess with permissions...just install the .apk the way you normally would. I've been testing the 1.1.24 version on Koshu's CM ROM with no issues so far.
XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597783

So, 44 views in one day...has anyone else tried it? Did it work for you? I've been using it for 3 days now with no crashes, no force closes, nothing on Koshu's CM10 ROM, and I'm sure people would love to see other reports!
I gave it an install and a quick try. It seemed to work and actually recognized my crappy handwriting!

Worked great for me on CM10 w/ 1.1.24. Had to manually extract the apk & libs to the appropriate directories. Installing zip from CWM failed
It works for me on CM10 8.1. I just installed the apk and nothing else and it works fine. So times it's a little laggy but I'm glad to have thiis back on my TPT. Thank you of this .
That's what I was saying earlier...it worked for me installing the .apk from inside the ROM (not having to flash anything with CWM) and doing nothing else! :laugh: Glad it's working for you guys! I had seen tons of people ask about this over the course of my time here messing with my TPT, but had never seen anyone post a solution. Good to know it's still helpful for a few out of the 192 ( !) that have viewed this thread.
works great, additionaly I have installed some language packs for Mobile Notes to Use German, US- and UK- english.

I couldn't find any apk file there. All files were zip. In the forum page it had written you have to flash your mobile. I don't even know what that means. I previously have installed this with an apk but that app after install gave error that "this version of notes mobile is not compatible with my device". is there any device check removed version of this apk of this app which installs without flashing or rooting? I need it for galaxy tab 2 10.1...android jelly bean or ics official version

Okay when you hear the word "flash" on XDA or any other Android development community it usually means you have to have a custom recovery and root permission of the device. An .apk is the actually file that is known to be the main part of an App. Now as for the "device check removed version" I have no idea, you would have to look around more for something that doesn't have that message. The reason that keeps coming up is, this App was originally written for the Lenovo TPT and then was ported to the Samsung Galaxy Note series, both which have a touch-screen and stylus input. So for a device(s) that doesn't have that Android system may be looking for a couple lines of code and is not seeing them so it give an error message. I hope this helps.
Does anyone have this working on Koshu's 0.91? When I attempt to install the apk the install fails....

I've tried the NotesMobile-GTN7000-1.1.24..zip
1) Download
2) Unpack
3) Put it on a SD-Card
4) Use something like total commander
5) Make sure you can install unsafe software on your device
6) install the notesmobile_len-oem.apk you found in /NotesMobile-GTN7000-1.1.24/system/app
7) have fun
For me everything works fine on a TPT 32GB with Android 4.1.2. Export, Writing, handwriting ...

Hello there,
I got a problem with installing Open Pdroid on my Galaxy s I9000. Its rooted and running on CM 10.1.0-RC2 and Android 4.2.2.
The thing is, I can't figure out what exactly I am doing wrong.
I used Kobik77's ApG to create the update.zip and restore.zip and had no further issues with it.
On my phone I entered CWM and installed the .zip without any error.
I installed PDroid Manager via Google Play.
So far so good. But now PDroid Manager says: "The PDroid Core has not been detected on your device."
As of now I am not sure whether the patching Process via ApG has been a failure, something went wrong
when installing it via CWM, the PDroid Manager has been buggy, or none of it and I just missed
some detail, like the version I am using is not supported (though I am pretty sure I read somewhere that 4.2.2 and CM 10.1 are supported).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: my problem has slightly changed. PDroid manager now always asks me to configure it when i install a new app. But when i attempt to do so, it says: "PDroid Manager has been closed."
When i open PDroid manager via the apps icon it still tells me that open pdroid Installation cannot be detected.
- If there is any additional information u need, I'll gladly provide it.
- I hope this is the right place to post it.. I already tried to post in
the dev forum (permission denied) where an information kindly
directed me here .
- And one last thing .. go easy on me I am new to smartphones
in general and have only aquired some basic knowledge through
reading.

You are only flashing the update.zip file, and not the restore.zip as well?
I use ApG to build openDroid for my LG 4X HD and it works fine.
Hello, first of all thanks for the reply! Yes i only flash the update zip. Flashing the the restore zip would defeat the purpose right?

I can't think of anything obvious that would cause this. Are you running the stock Kernel? I would suggest trying a totally clean install of CM with the .zip file you created by ApG. Don't install anything other than the pDroid Manager and test it again. If it's still not working then try with a newer version of CM, possibly the latest nightly for your device.

..is what it says in the phone's settings. Doesn't sound like a stock to me.
I will install the latest nightly build first and try it again. If possible i want to avoid to go through the trouble
of reinstalling all my apps. Seems like I have to find a good backup solution earlier than expected if I
want to keep as much of my data as possible >.<

The kernel sounds stock - if you don't remeber flashing a different kernel then you're fine. If you're that worried about losing your apps then just flash the latest nightly and use ApG on that version to try - but do a NanDroid backup of everything first, just in case.

OK i screwed and bricked my phone Anyway i managed to try a few things:
I flashed latest CM nightly and tried to get Open PDroid via the update zip from ApG --> failed
I did factory reset and wiped the cache / did a clean install of ONLY (I just tried randome stuff here) the update zip --> failed
I did factory reset and wiped cache / did a clean istall of latest CM nightly, rebooted and installed the ApG update zip --> failed
Each time the PDroid Manager wasn't able to detect a, in my case Open PDroid, installation.
I noticed that it took especially long to initiate the download of PDroid Manager, I mean the bar before the actual download starts. It took a few minutes until sth. happened. Though i doubt it has anything to do with, I just wondered if it may be conflicting with anything in the system. But probably just due to the reset.
I am getting desperate here
Well anyway.. I may have done a mistake,but realized it too late: Did u mean to install without the gapps? .. I did install CM with gapps...
If I was meant to install CM without gapps i will try that tomorrow!
If any different ideas come to mind.. I will try anthing else too.
thanks again..
Hey, my phone's fixed and my problem changed a little, but i dont know if i it is any
progress.
PDroid Manager still displays the same message, that Open PDroid core could not be
detected, but whenever i istall a app now, it asks me to configure it.
When i press the button in the status bar, where it appears, it just says: "PDroid Manager has
been closed".
So basically i can't do anything with it, but it sometimes tells me it's there
any suggestions?
Maybe anyone has the same issue?
I'd be happy if you shared your experience.

If OpenPdroid isn't working, have you tried Pdroid2.0? It's not the best solution, but it is one.
Thanks for your reply. I might actually try that. I'd really like to get open pdroid working though or at least understand why it doesn' t. So if there are some other solutions i'll be happy to hear about them.

I've been offline for a few days so am only just catching up on stuff. Given the problem you are now having, I'd suggest run ApG and copy the entire text output from the log. Post that along with a description of the problem you're having onto the ApG Dev thread, and also a logcat if you can.
Hi SimonTS thanks for directing me to the dev forum. I got my Problem fixed. The reason it didnt work is pretty embarassing though .
I had a old version of apg and/or the open pdroid Version that comes with it. everything works just fine now. Thanks for your efforts.
