HTC incredible S -looking for native video calling feature

Hi Experts,
I use HTC Incredible S and looking for native video calling feature which is not available in default calling feature in the Android itself, since the hardware itself supporting video calling.
I thought it will be addressed in the new updates 2.3, but there is not any features which can help in video call.
I posted HTC for this problem, but replied me to wait till next update which is not fixed and they are not sure if this will be addressed. They adviced to use Skype, but I dont want to use any third party application or anything to make video call to make it more expensive & more difficult.
I wish there could be an answer in this XDA forum, so you experts can help me in this. Pls giude if is there any custome updates available. I will be greatful to you for all your help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sajid Ali

[Completed] [Q] Need VOIP calling application with theme's

I did some quick searching and I did not find much on this specific topic.
I need to have a tablet, Windows or Android, that can make VOIP calls internally to our office.
Of course we can use Skype or one of the many other VOIP services. But we also want the application to look "professional" and "customized" to our office (Our logo, matching color scheme, ect.)
We do not have the resources to hire a developer to build an app for us.
I've seen some incredible themes made for android, IE Themer. And by my understanding it shouldn't be to far fetched of a thought that there is a barebones VOIP app capable of being themed.
Thanks for the help! First time poster, so I assume I've made many errors. #Clueless

[Completed] [Q] Lollipop Dialer Not Practical

Good day. Some may find this nonsensical, but is there anyone that agrees with me on the fact that the new android lollipop dialer is not practical? When you click on phone, you need to click another button to actually get to the dialer, and that is all I ever use. Is there a setting that you can change to make it only show the dialer, or are there any other options that I can explore except rooting? I appreciate any answers and I thank everyone in advance for the help. As a side note, I have the xperia z3 compact and I am running android 5.0.2.

[Completed] Replacing native call/text Android functionality

I'd like to replace the native call/text functionality in Android. I'd like to build an Android app that will handle incoming/outgoing calls/texts using Twilio. A wifi-only phone of sorts. I've built Android apps in the past so I'm familiar with the process. My knowledge of modifying code on a rooted android device is lacking. What I need help finding is how to override/hack the lock screen to show incoming calls. Incoming text messages can be handled with normal push notifications. Lock screen widgets were removed in Lollipop so I can't go that route. I'm looking for any pointers, helpful info, code examples, or comparable apps. I'd like to make sure this is feasible before committing any amount of significant time to it.

turning an older android device into a browser only device

hello,i come looking to inquire about how dificult in would be to create a rom, that would boot directly to a browser (prefferably iceweisel) to run a series of html5 based apps my developement team is working on. security would be a massive factor. any developers that might have input please contact me and i can better fill you in on whats happening.

side note
the team i mentioned in the original post is very good with java script and the like but actual mobile devices are out of their line of expertise. thank you in advance for any help.

Maybe you should think of creating a Launcher app especially if you want your soft be able to launch on a different devices.
