Sorry if this is posted under the wrong thread but I have seen other posts about porting apk's here so anyway here it goes:
I'm sure that by now today Skype has lifted its Verizon Android phone only limitions and is now extending them to ALL Android devices. The only problem is that an updated app is TBA. With that being said, I stumbled across this site earlier: http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/ which has all the apk's for the Droid X listed in alphabetical order. Needless to say I installed the Skype Live apk and it appeared to load but gave me a message stating that it was for Verizon phones only. Would it be possible for someone to port this to the Captivate, and since the FM Radio apk is there too, would that also be possible? Thanks in advance!!!

skype is on app market already.
FM radio i think captivate just missing out the chips that was used for it in i9000, and guess that's the same one for verizon's galaxy s.
I've been trying the Market version but it wont let me sign in...I've only had success with the beta which...sucks lol...

What's the likelyhood of getting the BT Voice commands APK/odex from the Droid X and applying them?
I wouldn't expect to see BT Voice control until the official FroYo release for our phone.

Depends on if it has any dependencies in Motorola specific frameworks or not.

So I tried this beta app out. Played every file possible, or at least tried to, and nothing! It seems to work for everyone else on diff handsets. Anyone else try this?
Redownloaded and installed a few times and nothing.

It may be that the developer has not yet updated the app to support the Mytouch Slide hardware...email the dev and ask the to add support for your device...

I thought about it but the app is a closed beta that got leaked and I'm 95% sure he only speaks chinese and uses translation tools.

i read it was based off processor, magic, dream, hero wont work as they dont support it.
seems to work for most of my movies, have several mpgs and avi files that it played decently, i have had a few problems with it lagging in audio or audio cutting in and out, and only one file refused to play at all(and by that i mean no sound and ~1fps while counter at bottome went as normally would)
I just downloaded it. I'm at work so I only have 2 .avi files to try out but they both worked great and when you move it to another point it starts almost instantly. Such a great app.
I came from the tp2 and skype is one the apps I used a lot. I went to the market and I couldn't find it, then went to skype site to download it and they don't support this phone yet.
Have someone found a way to get skype?
Thanks in advance

Give it time 2-3 months or maybe one more beta, it is still in pretty deep beta. But no doubt the Epic will get priority because it is designed for specifically that. I would search the Skype forums.
Nevermind. I had a brainfart. I think you might find it in evo, same section as this.
Looking to swype skype?
Thanks I just looked skype forums. I guess they want to implemente videochat on it, thas why is not there.
I'll look in the evo section, thanks!!

Right now there's no real way to use Skype with an official client on the Epic without a lot of work, but you can use Skype through Nimbuzz, which is free on the market.
IM+ worked perfectly on my blackberry the last 4yrs and they have a droid client free & paid. But, it doesnt appear to connect to Skype since I have been trying it.
Besides, the droid is a rough beta compared to the look, feel and behavior of the rim version....
I believe the Verizon exclusive partnership with Skype is holding things up at this point.
Is there any stable Skype chat 3rd party client out there, i can wait for video chat by stressing Qik...
PeAce!

Thanks dude, keep us updated cause I want it bad also and it could be a big block buster item that will propel this system.
Has anyone here got Google Talk to perform video chat on the phone?
We could only get video and no sound between two laptops yesterday with GT.
IMO.im allows skype texting functionality.
Skype works... google skype lite beta 1.0.0.5... verizon paid for exclusivity is all. Bu the old beta build still works on all phones =)
Thanks I just install it but man that version is horrible I can't even call my contacts nor use my skype credit, hopefully skype will hurry up and get it back to work on all androids.

So the official Netflix app just rolled out, and it works on our fellow HTC phones, the Incredible and Evo. For some reason, the Thunderbolt is not one of the initially supported devices. Any chance some devs can get this to work on our Bolts?
Edit: Here is the APK, thank the fine people over in the EVO forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13730645&postcount=11
This is confirmed to not be working as is, due to a DRM notification. There may be nothing that can be done at the time being, but we shall see.
Someone post the APK
Currently browsing the Evo/Inc forums looking for an APK.
Added APK to OP.
doesnt work here on CM... seems to start playback but the video doesnt work then it just quits altogether
Anyone get this working?
Good post! Hope someone can get it working on the thunderbolt.
Sent through the interwebs.
Yeah, I am assuming it won't work as is. Hoping the devs have some sort of magic up their sleeves that can fix it.

Getting the same thing on the stock TB.
Also getting a notification about a License required for DRM.
sounds good to me! can't wait to test it
I would love to see some Netflix on my TB. I don't know if the apk will be any good to modify since Netflix servers may just be checking the client's device info.
Can anyone confirm that the apk posted is different than the leak? The leaked version I have is 1.01 build 740558.

Mind you my tech/coding know how on Android is limited, but if the drm files can be put on our devices can we trick it into thinking its a different phone al.la the htcsense.com mod?
Of course that all depends on what it check to see if its a compatible device.
here is the apk

Hey guys,
Hoping someone out there has the .apk files for Skype w/video and MyVerizon.
I had Skype with video working but once I reflashed a new nightly, I lost video.
Thanks for the help,

I'm using Synergy July 9th nightly BTW.

Says the same for me. Skype normal not mobile worked for me though. I tried an older version of skype mobile and it does the same. The first date was 4/30 and the second was 3/13 I think. Maybe it has to do with your current data plan?
I read this.
That is not correct actually - with Skye Mobile for Verizon you would be able to use skype over Verizon's network - I used it for over 1 yea without any issues. Until I got the thunderbolt. Skype needs to make that app compatible with the new phone. AND QUICKLY!!!!!!!!
Try searching. It's also in my Sig.

Just in case I didnt get the link to work correctly it is this thread:
Android Development and Hacking / Android Software Development / [DEV] Skype Video for Froyo (and GB) - Partially working
For example, I can't locate SPB Shell 3D on the market. If I go to this app from dev site by direct link I don't see Install button. I have purchased this app some time back even. Does somebody knows it is true? If yes then it is ridiculous. How dare they are to prevent me from using what I have paid for.
I know a lot of apps wont show if they have not updated to 2.3.4. Most are ok to use if you have 2.3.3

EA Games' Tetris works. However, the Need for Speed Shift app that I purchased doesn't work on my phone. I noticed that there is another Need for Speed app in the market that costs 10 USD.

I know apps can be filtered by OS version. The company I work for has an app that is only compatible on phones 2.1 or newer. Market will not even display the app on sub 2.1 devices or on 3.0 since its a Tablet OS. I have read, in the cases of tethering apps, that cell carriers can filter apps and Verizon has done so. I do not know whether Motorola does. I imagine they can, but why they would, I am not sure. I know there are Device specific apps (Droidlight) that are from Motorola that are visible and downloadable on other devices, they just do not work.
I have stopped to understand things. The SPB Shell 3D release history says
Version 1.2.1 (Aug 04, 2011):
Stability improvements
Fix Gallery for Motorola Atrix (2.3.4)
Other fixes
So it is targeted for 2.3.4. On my son's Atrix 2.3.4 I can see this app in the market. But not on my Droid 3. Mystery.
They can filter by OS version and device, so it may be supported on the Atrix but not the D3.
