[Q] Is there any JellyBean based ROM that Video chat apps (like Tango) work? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've tried 3 Jellybean based ROMs so far, and in all of them, when trying to make a video call with either Tango, Oovoo, GTalk, Skype, and Google+, they all crash the moment the connection is made. I've been asking this same question in every Development thread, read through the entire thread, and no one has answered it previously, nor has anyone even recognizes it as a problem. Hopefully someones using a JB rom where its working, or someone can definitively let me know that it is a problem, and it hasn't been solved.

Im running Unofficial Liquid RC2. skype and oovoo works perfectly.

I'm on liquid rc2 also... but Skype has a call failed error as soon as the other person answers the video call. So you're not alone

There is one version that is actually working on SK4G. Found it somewhere here, on XDA, but can't remember original thread. Hope it's OK to post external URL here: http://xdjh.info/ftp/share/apk/skype_for_SK4G.apk
You need to set 'Use MODE_ON_CALL' in 'Tweaks', audio works fine with that. Both cameras works too. I've tested this software on RAGE firmware - everything works.

[Problem] Infuse Sound Problem

Hi..! I'm a noob. I have a problem with this phone, when I make a call, I can't hear with the earpiece nor speaker the person who I called, neither that person can hear me, but the speaker works with musics, videos, etc. and the mic works with google voice. Also when I record a video the sound is very noisy.
I hope a solution asap. Thanks
Can you include more details?
Do you have a rom or are you rooted with any mods?
Were you playing with and settings in the phone section?
Have you called anyone a second time?
In some roms there is a bug that there won't be sound on the first call after flash.

The problem happened after the phone bricked when I was trying to update to GB with samsung kies, and I returned to stock with the rom in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083#post27286083).
I tried to make others calls and nothing happened.

Went to the link you provided but it does not go to a specific rom, What rom are you currently using?
I'm using a stock GB.
ok, this will take a little time but always works for myself and many others. Post 1 will get you back in business and post 2 will get your root access back. All credit to qkster. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

The only other thing I can suggest is make sure your APN settings for your carrier are correct. Other than that be patient - there are many people with far more talent than me who will be dropping in to read your post. When they give you a solution that works, let them know and hit their thanks meter. All the best.
nobody can help me?!

Sounds like a bug with the ROM. Have you tried installing a earlier version of Cyanogenmod, CM7 for example, and seeing if the issue persists?
No I haven't
CM9 is my first custom rom I try
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Then I would recommend trying CM7. If the issues disappear, then you know it's an problem with CM9. If they don't then you know it's an problem with your phone. Either way, you'll be in a better situation than you are currently.
I tried CM7 briefly and didn't have the issues you mentioned. Give it a try.

For the phones that maclaw develops for, cm7 is much more stable...
And he has started dev-ing for cm10 (which is better, compared to cm9), why bother with reports for cm9 then...

Well, even I follow that thread, and I do remember seeing a similar solution/problem in the thread itself...
Have you used the search function in the thread?
Yes I already using search function
And the solution is install GoSMS and using custom SMSC
I did and it still not working
While on the other phone my sim would send sms without any problem

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.

[Q] Google Hangout Problems.

Has anyone else tried using google hangouts video chat with their phone? Mind you I am running the sense 5 rom. Every time I start a video chat with my girl on the phone, over wifi or data, it automatically freezes and resets my phone. Any ideas?
I'm also on Sense 5, I'll test when my lady gets home in a couple of hours.

I can confirm video call is not working for me either on Sense 5.
Sent from my Evita using XDA Premium
Thank you. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. I'm not sure if it is the Rom or the app itself. I've read other forums talking about video problems with the app and I know ATT restricted video chat over their network but I am on wifi and it still does not work. If I don't get any other help here, I'll post the problem in the rom thread itself see if I can get a bigger audience.
I'm on the Telstra network here in Australia, so you can rule out the ATT problem, especially seeing as you're using Wi-Fi. Try recording a logcat and posting it for Imagio to look at.

Haha alright I'll try a go at it again this weekend if I have time and get a logcat of it.
Video calling in hangouts isn't working for me either. Not sure when it will be fixed but we are working on it. Got a lot to do at the on this rom right now.
Same issue on my galaxy nexus
Was gonna say i know a few of you were on sense 5 but when that guy posted about his gnex with the problem i ruled the ROM out. I'll test later when on WiFi.
I could have sworn mine worked but maybe not. Is it force closing on you guys? If so when?
