Skype video from Thunderbolt on Atrix (request) - Atrix 4G Android Development

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.

?? so how does yahoo video chat, fring, and other video call apks work on several devices? obviously it wasnt made for the phone, thats why the thread was posted] to modify it and get it to work.

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

since the mytouch can't be rooted yet, probably not. I bet sherpa is going to be a protected app.
i bet we have this app in the next week because we have the best modders and developers here . The only way this app wont work is if it needs some sort of code and needs to talk to a server.... but i doubt it.
The App Isn't Out, I Believe Its Gonna Be In The Market, Because Everyone That Has The Phone Already Doesn't Have The App On The Phone, And It Said It Would Be Launched The Same Time As The Phone
a quick online search. and you can have the app on your G1.
its a neat idea..but kinda useless, all it does is search near you for food,movies,cafe's and such, same thing you can do with all other type of apps.

To fix the signing problem; simple folks
Uninstall the Sherpa you have and install from the market... looks like something to do with the signing and the same version number but a different signed key.
well i installed it like last week if u want i can upload the .apk

g2 wifi calling apk and logcat (doesnt connect on vibrant)

This topic is for development of the Wifi apk for the vibrant. Please DO NOT discuss what wifi means to you or how excited you are about it. I am posting this in hopes that a developer can make this work.
Only comment here if you can contribute and make this work. (what i have provided is the extent of my knowledge)
The apk installs, loads, but will not connect. It gets stuck on 'enabling' and shreads the battery trying.
Perhaps the servers are just not up yet since this is so new..
UPDATE: According to TMo News, T-mobile has stated that they do not support wifi calling yet... so hopefully this app not working is just a result of no server support yet..

Took a look at it and so far its either missing a VPN module or its pointing at settings that we dont have. Right now its looping trying to connect to localhost.
This does ADB install fine, but it doesnt connect if you disable it and try to re-enable it.
Side effect, it was constantly looping trying to connect the service and wasnt very happy about uninstalling when I tried, wouldnt recommend anyone install it unless they have the settings or an idea where we can grab them from
Soon as I get the OTA ill scour for the settings. Soon as I have any updates to it ill tweet/post
Thanks Viral, scepterr says it needs a kernel module and we need source code for that
Why ADB...just hit install...running it on Froyo, I cant tell if its working or not because Tmobile DID fix my signal at my house LOL

You can still make calls and it will say its working but if you turn it off and back on, itll eternally sit at attempting to make connection.

The app he is using is called SystemPanel. It's very useful.
I suggest removing this app in the mean time. Its a CPU hog and 50% of my battery use.

According to TMO News, the wifi calling is not supported yet as stated by T-Mobile.
“Wi-Fi Calling and tethering Wi-Fi sharing are not currently supported on the T-Mobile G2. T-Mobile knows these features are important to consumers and we’re working to deliver them to G2 users in the future. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”
http://tinyurl.com/3yltw9a
This was one of my theories... that would be an easy and good answer for why it will not connect yet...
Looks like theres no luck on the g2 end either, its still missing some configuration or something.

Adding to think tank section of the bible for easy retrieval just in case the thread slows.
Something tells me TMo is going to wait, either for the release of the MyTouch HD or they'll release it on a bunch of phones all at once as a way to boost sales before Christmas.
Looks like G2 will have this app soon enough. I can't wait to have it on the vibrant.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/t-mobile-g2-to-get-wi-fi-calling-update-starting-tomorrow/
The reason why this app isn't working is because you need a Wifi calling plan which tmobile is rolling out soon and it requires a data plan of 19.99 or higher which pretty much everyone has because the 200 mb plan has not rolled out yet.
Has anyone gotten the wifi calling G2 OTA update yet? Can you let us know if the wifi calling now works on the G2? Thanks.
Yes and it works awesome!

Thanks. So it looks like both now the G2 and myTouch 4G are up and running with wifi calling. They both have in common that they are running 2.2. So am I to assume that the apk app on both of them is the same and that it will also run on the Vibrant once it gets the 2.2 update?

I don't think you get it. As far as roms go there is no such thing as custom requests. The fantastic devs here do what the can do with what they have. They give us the best they can. And because they are the ones who put in the hard work they choose how a Rom gets put together. The rest of us non devs must be thankful for what they give is cause without their hardwork, we would have nothing.
If you want what your asking for, you will have to a. Wait. Or b. Learn to code yourself.

You should just go buy an EVO.
Your post makes it seems like the devs don't have it ready already b/c someone like you hasn't specified a brilliant list of things to include.
Plus, your post should be in the GENERAL or Questions thread, not this DEV thread.
If i had alot of money trust me i wouldnt be using an htc hero i would gotten the g2 by now.
I dont like htc evo. 1. It doesnt support 16 million pixels color, just like the rest of android phones since the original droid that came out in 2009(Nexus one,htc desire, Htc desire hd,Htc legend,Htc wildfire,Samsung galaxy and behold 2 series,G2,Mt4g,droidx,droid incredible,droid 2 and Defy).

Will 2.4 on its way will they bother? It would be nice to have video calls on our phone with a front facing camera

I don't think HTC is gone to roll out 2.3.4 out anytime soon. They are still playing catch up with 2.3.3 on a lot of phones.

i think so
can the incredible s be uprgraded to 2.4? nothing wrong with 2.3.3 though.
I know that Samsung Galaxy S2 is due to receive 2.3.4 update, the main reason is 2.3.3 is not stable on dual core phones. I believe HTC Sensation will be getting update too shortly.
After DHD 2.3.3 update, which did not go right, i am sure HTC had ear full of complains, mainly wifi issues. Hopefully HTC will realise 2.3.4 update for latest htc phone such as DHD, DIS, DS same time as HTC Sensation.

I don't think so. As you know, HTC is so unresposible and unresponsive to their customers, and there's hardly any differences between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 besides the video calling in google talk. Most likely HTC will just release the 2.3.4 ROM for Sensation
I don't know, one of there selling points is the front facing camera and until the new update comes out it really has no use except for a mirror.
I think maybe they will push it out as the update wont change much and there sence skin should wrap around it the same as 2.3.3 you would asume.

[Q] Cyanogen on Droid 3?

I apologize in advance for asking a question that has no doubt been asked on here before and posted but I cant find my answer. I just recently came to Motorolla from HTC because I needed to switch to Verizon for work and the D3 was perfect. After looking around on here and on the CM site Im still very confused...Is there a CM download (preferably CM7.1) for the D3 or are people just trying to make something work on it. Im not even rooted yet because if I cant get CM Im not sure I even want to. If anyone can answer this for me and direct me to a download it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all and I apologize again for asking a dumb question.
Yes Hashcode has a cm7 download in the Droid 3 developers forum....it's still got a few minor bugs but overall it's awesome I've been running it for quite sometime now...I don't have a link but look in the dev forum...good luck.

There's a somewhat 7.1 port posted, but hashcode is mostly focused on bringing the 9 up to being usable.

Yes Hashcode has a cm7 download in the Droid 3 developers forum....it's still got a few minor bugs but overall it's awesome I've been running it for quite sometime now...I don't have a link but look in the dev forum...good luck.

So this is good enough for a daily user? I need my phone for work so I cant use anything too experimental.

It, most certainly, is good enough to be used as a daily driver. I have been using it since he was able to work out the audio bugs. Around 11/15. It does take some setting up, but well worth it. Just read the thread and Hash's blogspot, you should find everything you need there. Good Luck!
i would like it if the droid 3 gets a officiel cyanogen mod.

If we got everything working the d3 could get official cm7, I think by the time Hashcode is done we'll have an official cm9, think it depends on the code he uses and the cm guys
the only that doesnt work is the camera i use it as a daily rom its great
I've read the external SD also doesn't work. Is that true?

That's fine with me, the camera isn't that great anyway but it would be nice to have. How about wifi and GPS? I had CM7 on my G2 and there were a lot of issues with that stuff. Bith are a big deal for me. What's the best bet as far as getting root? Is Psouda's one touch pretty fool proof? I would hate to brick my new baby!

Even if so, that's not really that big of a deal. The phones got 16 gb internal anyway, what more do you need? Lol

Both SD cards are working in both CM7 and CM9. It's their naming convention that throws people off:
/emmc is the internal emmc storage area (called "/sdcard" in the stock ROM)
/sdcard is the actual sdcard (it's called "/sdcard-ext" in the stock ROM)
And actually the camera will work. The hardware camera does not, but there are a couple software cameras from the market that will. I use camera zoom fx. With very little problems. If you're like me and the camera isn't that big of a deal, these soft cams will work good enough.

What do you mean the hardware camera doesn't work and software camera does?
For any camera soft to work the hardware has to be working...
Do you mean, you can't take pictures with the inbuilt camera app, and can take pics with camera zoom fx?
If so, then the camera works, just the default app does not...
Is this what you mean? If so, then great... If not, what're you sayin'?

Thanks for this information, very important.
What are CM9's shortcomings in usage on the Droid 3 in your opinion, based on experience? Drawbacks, when compared to the default ROM, any?

I think he means stock camera isn't working
xt860, android 2.3.5, Eclipse 1.1.1
so which camera to install.. all thirth party stuff i tried really suck.. some dont work at all some others have terrible quality some others only show half of the screen....
I like ProCapture. You can either buy it from the market or do some Google searching to "try it before you buy". (But I really suggest buying it if you like it.)

I also recommend ProCapture. The pictures come out very crisp.
