I am not sure of one that uses your skype account info. but i know you could download Yahoo Messenger and there is a plugin to download and allow you to use voice.. just not video.. i had that when I was on 2.1 and couldnt use skype myself..
Flashing is more mental imho.. i had my phone for just 2-3weeks and i too was scared. .but i went ahead and did it.. read the "how too's" and in the one from the development page there is a 3part video that shows you the complete steps of what to do.. watch that video (maybe 2-3times to be sure) and follow the video along with instructions from the sticky and you will be fine.. it was a lot easier than i thought and I was ok.. I know you will be ok with either the new Cognition 3.04 or the new Andromeda 2.0.. i used Cog first and flashed right over that to Andromeda 2.0 with no issues so far.. Andromeda is a lot faster and seems to be better on my battery as well..
Anyway.. hope that helps some..

So I'm looking through the market for this app, it's in the free section, and all of a sudden I can't find it anywhere. Neither can my wife on her G1, who is the one who actually uses it (I'm not disciplined enough), and she would really really like to be able to have it on her phone again. She just recently upgraded her phone to 1.6, I've had 1.6 for a while, could that be the problem?
Anyhoo, if someone could shoot me a link or a pm about this, we/she would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks.
It shows up just fine for me! what rom are you using?
pm me with your email I can send you the .apk
I've tried finding it on WG-Y2.6, My wife is on Official Donut, Now I'm on OpenEclair and still can't find it :shrug:
Which version of the apk to you have? im running an older one and obviously cannot update.. any ideas on where to get the current apk?
thanks!
Fat Secret Nexus One Froyo
I can't get Calorie Counter by Fatsecret.com on my nexus one running Froyo - it's just not listed in the market for me. it does still show up in the online marketplace and i have a 2.1 rom where it still works.. this could be a deal breaker for froyo or fatsecret

I have tried a few ROMs here for my Hero and am not finding anything for what I need. Maybe I haven't looked enough but I have looked.
I have tried the Blue Froyo and Darch's 2.8 and neither let me play any of the music I have on my sdcard in a file called Music. On the stock ROM music player they show up just fine.
I also am having an issue with both not letting me use my voice mail properly, I have found the VVM zip and this only solves part of the issue for me. I still don't get proper notification of new messages. Instead I am getting two or more messages from 9016 for each new voice mail.
Any one point me towards a ROM that helps with both of these? Non-sense preferred but not a must. Sorry for being lazy but there are so many ROMs here and trying them all just to test these two things out would be very time consuming and asking these questions in all threads would be very redundant.
Try CM6.

If you mean the nightly, I have and maybe I'm too picky because it isn't themed like the blue froyo is. It also has these two issues I'm asking about so that won't help.
Anyone else have a suggestion for me?
You may need to reformat your SD card. There's really no reason it wouldn't play files from a "Music" folder unless it's having trouble reading the SD card somehow. Try reformatting the SD card (after backing up everything on it) and then reload all the files on it and try again.
As for the voicemail thing, on any AOSP-based ROM (DD, CM) those notifications from 9016 won't go away....it's kinda how android tells the Sprint VVM that a voicemail has been received, but to my knowledge no one has figured out how to disable those texts from coming in. Using Handcent SMS (an app from the market), you can supposedly blacklist the 9016 number but I'm not sure if that's a complete fix because I've never tried it myself. Most or even all Sense-based ROMs don't get that text.

Thanx I'll try that when I get home as I'm at work right now. Strange that all sense roms I've tried see my music fine but not these two which of course are my favorites. Came from a moment so sense is weird to me.
The voicemail thing I guess I'll learn to live with as I'm reserving an epic tomorrow @ RS.

Edit: ever have one of those moments where you say to yourself "why didn't I think of that" ? Well I should have but I feel so stupid I can't even think enough to do that right now...formating the sdcard did the trick....thanx again
Bump...so one of the 9016 messages I got for vvm looks like a command to turn on a notification. Just curious if this has been looked into. Maybe we could get this to work by tweaking the command or maybe the command isn't being ran because the receiving app needs tweaking?

2.2 works just fine for me... music plays perfectly and theres a black mod theme in themes and apps for 2.2 which is by far the best theme i've seen for an android

I have seen that one, I am kinda partial to the blue froyo theme but I noticed that the nightly isn't themed. I will try that one out for theming the nightly, thanks. I've played with theming on another phone but haven't quite figured it out yet on the Hero or I'd just make one myself.
Hello folks, here's the issue. I've been playing around these last two days with a different set of custom ROMs in order to check if it was ROM-specific or not.
The following most updated versions of Twitter clients simply do not work on the Froyo ROMs for Captivate (I9000 based or not) when they do work on Stock JF6/JH7:
Twitter 1.0.5 (official)
Twidroyd 4.2.1
Seesmic 1.4.3
ROMs tested:
aospMOD v1.1
Cognition 2.3b4 / 2.3b6
Perception 3 / 4
AXURA Beta 5
(srsly, I've probably flashed my Cappy as much as the devs might do on a normal day
They simply do not login. I was able to use Twicca Beta, Touiter and TweeDeck on Froyo roms. For all tests I've always went back to JF6 using Odin-1-Click - I did not yet however performed a Master Clear (srsly...) and I'm keeping that as a hail mary.
So far what seems to be related to is that now Twitter is using only OAuth for authentication - so something around that might be the cause, maybe SSL or some other crap - who knows?
So, anyone running these - can you test it?
I haven't had a problem with any Twitter apps and I've flashed almost every ROM you can think of.
Never had a problem. Ran a bunch of different cognition roms, now on perception build 3 I use twicca

This makes absolutely no sense to me anymore. I've did a Master Clear, went to JF6 and then I've installed Stock JJ4 and nothing again.
This is amazingly frustrating....
Bump.
I know I have 2 good answers but I'd like for someone with one these roms to actually go ahead and try Twitter. It'd mena a lot to me

I've tried the perception and axura roms, as well as di11igaf's v2 with no twitter problems. Are you restoring twitter from a backup? Have you tried a fresh install? Does the mobile site work?
I've personally been on all of those except AXURA with no Twitter issues. and I've gone through about every twitter app for android
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thank you all for the responses!
Fresh start, restoring from backup - even setup a new twitter account (in case it was something related to the connections in Twitter itself) - nothing!
I'll work on this after work today. Gotta head out! Thank you guys!
LOL this is ridiculous.
For some reason I tried using it over cell data today and it worked! Since I do not have a data plan I usuallty try on wifi @home.
When I get back later I will check if it works now that it is connected. Will also check on other wifi networks and probably scrap that damn router
srsly, this is extremely LOL.
The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.
face tbe tablet down it will turn normal
Nice find, thanks!
Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!
Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.
I installed and when i log in it goes to a white screen and says contacts at the top of the screen. Im not quite sure what to do from there or if this is an error. Anyone have any input. Im running vegan ginger rc1. Thanks.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.
Still can't get it to work properly with Vegan Ginger.
I was able to get it to work, although i get the sideways screen issue -- still a better substitute than having nothing...much better quality that the yahoo messenger video chat
Running vegan 7
Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!
Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim
Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.
apk?
I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!
For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?
Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!
I am a new member and I cant post reply to the development thread. So sorry that i have to post a new thread here.
@TheWhisp I have some comment about the ROM. It works well on everything. ever since i never met wifi tethering problem or white screen
But i two major problem with it. Most game like one of my favourite one 'Spartan Wars: Empire Of Honor' cant be played although i installed adobe flash player and i miss it so much guess theres a problem with the system.
Secondly is although official JB has no suport on flash player but i hope you make a builtin patch of flash player in it instead of us downloading it manually as it is so annoying bout cant play flash on browser.
thirdly, the built in messaging have problem downloading/ auto retrieving mms. i cant download pictures ppl sent to me. the operator just says i have a new mms and have to view it online in computer. however, last time the official GB rom mms works well. beside, i try installing third party sms apps like iphone messages (paid) or go sms pro but they work a while then after few moment or a day, they stop working. when i click on them, a black background just pop up and stay there forever instead of showing to apps interface. hope fix could be done.
Thank you a lot for all the help in developing JB for S6500... appreciate i hope i can continue give feedback bout problem related to the ROM... :3
