[Q] Skype on CM7 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone managed to use Skype on CM7?
I use the latest March 4th update with JPY modem, and have no luck with Skype. It won't login and sometimes throw the FC message.
I tried it also with JV1 modem. No luck here either. And because JV1 has a lot of other bugs, I installed JPY back.

I think skype have got a global problem with android phones. I try it too but I never log in. We have to wait for some fix

Skype works fine with Firmware 2.x but not with 1.6

Yes, but some people do report it working for them...

Work arround to make Skype work
You have to edit build.prop (I did it with SGS Tools from Market).
Find ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1
and change it to ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
Reboot the phone and...
That's it.
Happy Skyping!

Got it to installed just fine! I am able to chat with no problem but when I try to do video the screen goes black for a sec then comes back to the contacts list. Has anyone been able to get this work?
You have to have GB 2.3.4 in order to have the Video available in Google Talk. there are couple of thread which shows you how to do it manually.

Gingerbread version 2.3.4. Most gingerbread ROMs are only at version 2.3.3, which won't work with the new talk. Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread v1.02 appears to be the only ROM that currently has GB 2.3.4, but I'm sure the other GB ROMs will be updated to 2.3.4 soon.
Check market for Vtok. Does same and it works.
What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062980
It works on 2.3.3 but no one had tested it on the gtab yet. The latest CM7 stable is 2.3.3 but I went and updated to the 2.3.4 nightly because the g talk video app worked on my phone. I have the same CM7 set up on my gtab but no dice. Video chat is all I need to make this tab perfect since my phone doesn't have a front facing camera.

[Q] Viber on SGS i9000 w/ CM7 - NOW WORKING on 2.0.2

CASE CLOSED - 04 Aug 2011
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16314638&postcount=68
Hi, are there any Viber Beta users out there?
None of my call recipients can hear me. Im wondering if any other SGS users (or even SGS users with CM7) can make successful calls?
Could it be a SGS x CM7 issue?
This is over excellent Wifi.
I can hear the other person very clearly.
Thanks peeps.
***EDIT***:
A ticket has been raised to Viber, don't flood them with CM7 SGS issues!
From Viber:
"Thanks for contacting us.
This issue has been transferred to the proper department and we're currently investigating this matter.
If more information will be required, a Viber representative will contact you in this regard.
We kindly thank you for your patience."
Same here and no joy at all.

MIUI huh? So it doesnt appear to be a CM7 problem.
Are there any Official ROM SGS users that are having problems!?
Same probleme here with CM7 but i can hear my friends who have got stock firmware!? Another friend has Boogies MIUI Custom Rom 1.6.24 and I can hear him so it must be another problem.. Has anybody found a solution? (Sorry for my english)
No solution yet.
Im trying to figure out where the problem is coming from so I know where to ask questions.
So it seems that Viber works for Stock SGS, but not MIUI or CM7.
http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/...ew/45/0/is-your-android-compatible-with-viber ... SGS is listed as working with Viber.
Anyone know if this is solely affecting SGS CM7 users? or with ALL CM7 users?
I have a i9000 running CM7 with the same problem. It isn't just the i9000 running CM7 who have this issue, but also on the Incredible (I'm not allowed to quote the source because of XDA linking constraints). I tried using the Tango app for voice/video-conversation, and it worked flawlessly there.
We should keep posting as we learn about this issue and inform the devs from either CM7 or Viber about it as well

Have you got the post number? e.g. showthread.php?p=15821083 for that thread?
I have tested the forfone app from the market and the same problem here so I think it isn't a viber problem.. But with skype everything is ok!?
I have the beta app, but didn't let me go further than typing my phone number in. I applied to be a beta tester over 2 months ago.

It wasn't on XDA, but on Reddit (/r/Android/comments/iunhy/viber_finally_launched_for_android_free_calls_and/c26tabk). I forgot to mention that this wasn't the same problem (he got FC), but he ran CM7 on his phone and had a problem with the app.
As i see it... as I am sharing the problem as well... we need to see if it is working on other devices that run on CM7 or MIUI not just the sgs.
then we will know if it is a problem just with the sgs or with CM7..
same here.
sgs+cm7 can hear but cant speak.
tested with iphone, android, over 2g, 3g wifi
It seems that it's a problem in Viber on all galaxy phones.
take a look at the second comment:
http://www.viberfaq.com/viber-android-beta-version-review/
Viber works just fine. Stock odexed JVQ+speedmod kernel
As stated by "DaRkMyk", just uninstall the beta and download the new version from Market. It's working just fine for my SGS, Juwe's 5.2 Rom.
I9000T Mexico + CM7 no mic!
It seems that Viber is fine for Stock SGS ROMs, which is expected since Viber specifically developed and tested on it.
Haven't really got a definitive answr for MIUI ROMs, but there definitely seems to be a problem with CM7 and SGS.
Anybody know any CM7 non-SGS users out there? Do you know if Viber works for them?

Suggest a ROM for GPS and music please.

Hi!
I've been using my Galaxy S (I9000 16gb) with Darky's 10.1 and Voodoo for a couple of months and now i have flashed latest Darky's 10.2. I understand that Darky is working hard on his releases, but for several reasons i don't like 10.2 version at all.
Can you please recommend me a good fast ROM with good modem part for a GPS and latest version voodoo kernel? I constantly use GPS and listen to the music so these are the crucial parts. Or maybe just separate modem and voodoo kernel that I can flash on a Cyanogenmod for example.
Thank you!
Try doctorz rom....click on my sig.

GPS depends on region, I'm from Europe.
Also u should try newest Darkys based on JVQ cuz they wont continue JVR development.
hmm , with all the music controls on the lockscreems aamd all the optional lockscreens you get with the nexus S gps fix , I wonder why nobody has suggested my rom .
Older ROM
I've upgraded to both JVR and JVS ROMs, but always found myself going back to the JVQ ROM instead, and just flashed updated system apps, etc.
Battery life is poor on the upgrades, and not as efficient...some are quite slow.
The best (fastest and most stable) ROM I've tested is F1 SGSII ROM Faryaab V6.
The developer released v7 of this ROM (JVR), but not as good, so again downgraded.
I've tried close to 10 ROMs (JVP, JVQ, JVR, JVS), including the stock ROMs for these upgrades, but none are better.
I suggest, if there is a ROM you like, use it, then just search/browse for apps you liked from other ROMs and create your custom feel.
market doesn't work
Thank you guys! I have flashed Darky's 10.3 and now I can't download any apps from the market, it just keeps saying something like "Starting download". I experienced same thing on 10.2. What is the problem? This is ROMs fault or something is wrong with settings? Everything was working back on the 10.1.

Which version of Android Market do you have?
Some of the newer custom ROMs clash with the older version of the market for no particular reason. Do a google search for version 3.0.27, which I think is the latest for Market. Install the apk and hopefully your problems are resolved.

I had old one. Installed 3.0.27 and the problem is still there.
Try the App "GPS AIDS" (I know its a goofy name) from the market.
For some SGS users, that's all they needed to get their GPS fixed...

Thanks, there are many positive reviews for this app, I will definitely try it after I fix my market.

[Q] YouTube not working on CM based ROMs for o2x

Ok, no one else seems to have this issue but me
Since about CM7 Nightly 180 YouTube hasn't worked on my handset
Basically I click on a video link or go to YouTube and I just get the progress circle spinning round it's not just the app as when i try to view YouTube videos from the web browser it does the same
I have tried MiUi ROMs and others based off the CM source code and I get the same issue but it works fine on stock
I thought it may have been a BB issue but since I flashed back to the original BB it still no worky :[
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.

I am on miui 1.10.28 with owans tweak pack and swift kernel. Youtube was not working for me. Later someone mentioned older versions work fine. So I got an older version of youtube and it works perfectly fine. All you have to do is uninstall the app and install the older one. Thats all. Atleast on miui it works.
yep its fixed in latest nightly. let me guess your on vodafone right? i had exactly the same thing. it needed some device identifier from V20L in build.prop to work.... random or what
edit: another point, this seems to fix the browser force-close problem too....!

Update Needed !!

I need an all in one update for froyo on kaiser in which camera , bluetooth and
WiFi are working . And also suggest the fastest android build for kaiser
(Fastest Froyo)
same as above + gps....
ive only tryed two roms so far, super froyo and dzo, and the dzo one works really good. fast and pretty stable so far.
everything works besides wifi, i havent really tryed the gps on it though.
Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1.2 and seperated kernel
I think you should try this Rom and this kernel. They was made by Scoot. I still run it on my Kaiser so far, it's stable and fast.
I have my contacts setup on this kaiser. If I flash a new rom (scoot) would all my contacts get erased? They're not saved on the sim and I dont think its synced through since my wifi isn't working.

Yes , i think reflashing the kaiser will erase your contacts
thanks for the reply max, its ok because i found an app that exports all the contacts to sim (not sure why you cant do it form the phone it self lol). if i could just get wifi to work so i can actually download the app, then my build would be complete.

Bluetooth and WiFi are working in ALL Froyo builds, so I don't know what's your problem. Camera doesn't fully work in all builds.
