Thunderbolt's version of Skype WITH VIDEO is now available.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
It won't directly install for some reason (some how locked to the Thunderbolt?)
Would be real nice on the Atrix. Wish I could help more, but I'm just a dummy.
Thank you all very much. I bow to all your great feats.

This is an app, not a development thread. It should go in the Themes and Apps section.
^ disagree its a request for some DEV help on getting this to work on atrix. i'd really like for this to work on the atrix. been dying for skype video since last year.
^^^ Requests belong in Q&A or General - not Development...

i took a quick look... it appears that it would not be an easy & quick fix / rebuild i dont think, the entire program is written to use and be depended on <uses-library android:name="com.htc.device" />... before taking on this project id wait out as skype said that att was suppose to get releases of its video call first so id think we cant be to far behind
For anyone interested, here is the deodexed apk decoded and built with apk-tool.
Note: This cannot be installed yet.

it doesn't work because it was not made for this phone. even if it did install, it wouldn't work with our camera because moto uses its own camera driver since froyo doesn't have one (gingerbread will). htc uses its own FFC driver as well.

Because they contain drivers for all the phones they know of with FFCs I would bet.
Could it be that because att doesn't have 4g yet, Skype is holding out?
I apologize If I posted this in the wrong forum. It seemed logical for me to put it here...

Probably right. Here is Motorola's API:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/motorola-front-facing-camera-api/
It is so frustrating that using the same system (android) and also having a front camera but we cannot use the same app (skype with video).
yup but that was specifically develpoed for the thunderbolt, I assume if it does get officially launched with it, it will be a matter of time before that spreads to being on other devices (much like when they launched skype in the first place on android) the key question is will they fix the sound issues that moto's config gives these voip programs.

I'm guessing no, but for reasons other than the camera driver.

as I learned in the (otherwise useless) motorola atrix dev conference, the FFC driver for the atrix is written BY motorola. Android 2.2 does NOT have a standard FFC driver and so every phone that has an FFC and is running 2.1 or 2.2 is using their own FFC driver. That is why Tango and Qik did not work for the Atrix immediately when it was released, and Qik had to release an Atrix-only version of the app.
When gingerbread comes across all devices, it will have a standard FFC driver. But until then, every company running 2.2 uses their own and that is why these aren't compatible apps.

More than likely, it's because AT&T didn't want Skype to release it yet.. the carriers have a surprising amount of influence on app developers. Think of how the Inspire and Atrix still don't have HSUPA enabled whereas the iPhone 4 has had it since its release. My guess is they don't want to overload their already fragile network

Hey
I found a nifty app in the market. Its called "Samsung Remote". I have managed to link it to my brand new samsung TV but every time I try to connect the app force closes. Whats the deal? Is there any fix? Doesn't it not work with Nexus S?
You found it in the market? I don't see it and didn't think you could get it there using An NS. I used it on my vibrant and it was awesome. I chatted with a Samsung Rep a while back and was told it's for galaxy s phones only.

It's likely fc'ing as it probably relies on the touchwiz framework and associated libraries.

scroll down to the post from Onstom for a megaupload link to a modified version of the app. It runs on my girlfriend's NS and it connected to her PS50C7000 no problem.
Thanks, I'll see if it works.
I actually have the new D series tv. UN55D600.
It doesn't work either!
Argh... is there anything else I can use?
I really want this feature.
I downloaded the one from onstom and it installs on my NS. I cant post links yet so take out the spaces below if that link is for a file you havent tried.
megaupload . com / ?d = OD90HRHR
filename: com.sec.android.app.qwertyremocon-1-all-devices.apk
as i mentioned, this file did work for my girlfriend too so if it doesnt install for you then then i'm not sure there is much you can do other than wait to see if sammy realeases a version for non-galaxy phones.

sweet that works! the only issue now is that every time the app closes I always have to reconnect to the TV and have to wait like 1 minute before it connects and is operational.

True, but full ROM without having bugs is also important
i had a lot of smart phone ... but this one seems real smart phone...
Does anybody know where the old single - triple vibrations when the app hangs went on 2.3? It protected phone from full hang and killed app, but now if any app hangs all you can do is reboot
What did you have before I9000?

Hi all, this is the very first thread i start here in this forum, so go easy on me if i do something wrong.
Thing is, i hate zooming in and out in email/website, and since we have the luxury of high screen resolution in the galaxy note, i really want to make used of it. first of all is the email. the Gmail app is clearly not designed for such high resolution phone in the first place. but using this "phone" app on Galaxy Note, and still zooming in and out seems stupid to me. Is it possible for us to use the Gmail in Tablet in out Galaxy Note?
Thanks Guys
Yes it is possible. ..use cm9 mod change the dpi to say 200 and you ll get tablet gmail interface

Does it have to be a CM9 rom rooted G Note? Cause I have a CFroot G Note and I was wondering if I could do it?

Yes it needs to be some kind of ICS build (whether CM9 or otherwise). The reason being is that ICS includes aspects of the Honeycomb API which Gingerbread does not. These tablet elements are activated in ICS when the user sets the DPI below 200 (you need root to do this), and thus the phone behaves more like a tablet than a phone in its appearance.
This is how you will get the tablet style Gmail layout.
Dang, I wanna get the CM9. But, No camera is a deal breaker cause this is my point and shoot

Just Install
1. XposedInstaller_2.1.2 which is the framework
2. XposedAppSettings021_1361139539_2146 which will let you change the app specif dpi
3. Gmail 4.2.1 ( last version will become tablet mode with the following settings dpi :213 screen dpi: 600x1024 font scale :100 xLarge
good luck

Try changing DPI to 220/240. for that you need a custom ROM with DPI change functionality.
The only thing that I am regretting migrating to JB 4.1.2 on my SGSA is that the camera app no longer includes the "action shot panorama" photo style.
This was brilliant to use with my kids, so you could press once and let the camera take several photos, and stitch them together whilst at the same time focusing on an active subject.
I've trawled through the Play store to find an alternative (I'd happily pay!) but haven't found anything like it.
(If I was able to add a link to show you an example, it would include the dropboxDOTcom server over https followed by /s/23ynpqie9y2gjm0/2013-03-23%2014.44.03.jpg?v=0swn-
Has anyone found a replacement?
Cheers!

I even mailed some of the android camera app developers to see if they could add it to the list of things to do. It was a great little feature, and "it just worked"!
It's not the end of the world, but I would prefer to have it back!
(Congratulations on your 900th post )

Yeah... Although the stock 4.2 camera app has Photosphere - even that doesn't work on our phone... These two features are the things I'm missing the most .
But there are couple of good camera apps in Google Play.. Just search "panoramic camera" and you will get a bunch of results there... I haven't tried any - but most of them have many good reviews..
We can wait for Samsung's next update for our phone.... Since I think its included in Samsung's latest JB firmwares...

I've tried most of those panorama free adopts on the play store but they only do the nice landscape-type panoramas, not the cool action one.
Would it be possible to create a custom ROM with the gingerbread camera app in it instead of the jb one?

try "twin" apps
I am a developer of this feature (worked at Samsung at some point), and I can say it it is not easy to do
The most similar apps I saw are "Twin Me! Camera", or "Easy Twin Camera (Clone me)". Albeit they allow you only two copies and lack object tracking capabilities. But maybe someone will come up with this as well.

It was a truly awesome feature, you should be really proud of being part of that one. Just really odd that it was dropped completely when the cameras were perfectly capable of doing it. And doubly so that it can't just be ported straight across from GB.
I don't think it was particularly well named in the camera app, so I doubt too many people realised what it actually did.
I still think about dropping back to GB to get that functionality back!
Matt
Please do something about this get this app or option back in phones, point and shots, high end camaras, 360 camaras, all camaras. Do what you can , you helped make this, and it worked Awsome! I'm with the iniatial post , I am looking for this app . Try looking up devices with it , you cannot, it doesn't have a name other then it's named function. So frustrated . I would purchase a product simply because of this " mode" . ( I don't want to purchase a old camara phone model just to have it.. But I might!) thank you cheers . Great "mode"
