[Q] Leaked Skype (video calling) - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone in the know care to look at the leaked skype apk to get it to work on the galaxy tab?
Installation currently fails and it seems to only work on HTC phones but there must be a way to get it to work on the tab right?

some guys are looking to modify the leaked apk to be able to use it on other devices, but there is nothing working yet.
Here is the xda thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031944

I think someone needs to make something like this a sticky I answered 4 threads in the past week with people asking this question.

Well i saw a chery tab brand of china and its using android os. And it has a skype application with video call.

Skype Live and FM Radio for Samsung Captivate...

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.

rooting galaxy tab

Hi i have a galaxy tab on t-mobile uk, my question is as anyone from the uk rooted ther tab and what with, plus have you had any problems after rooting
thanks
Hi, there's a few threads on this, just grab z4root off the forums and you're good to go! First thing i did when i got my Tab. Im having a few issues with widgetlocker as the tab lock screen comes back now and then and i occasionally get notifications that it has been given superuser access. Everything else has been fine though - all I've really done is get ad free installed and cifs working though, not played much yet.

Thanks for your reply, maybe you can help me also with this as im simlocked to t-mobile uk, can i still do firmware update by using odin and firmware from samfirmware
thanks
Sorry, I've not looked into all that, my Tab is sim free and i use it on wifi. Haven't popped my desire sim in it yet or looked into getting another contract. The tab is basically a web tablet for me as well as media and apps and the main places i use it have wifi (or i can use my desire as hotspot).

Nexus S bluetooth imp=wiimote?galaxys?

Hi all,
I have heard that the Nexus S works with Wiimote controller.apk and that users are succesfully using the wiimotes with their devices.
I am under the impression that both devices have the same bluetooth and wifi chips, does anyone know if any smart person has worked out a way to get the Wiimotes working with galaxy S, or ported the drivers etc?
I am using DArky V8 and BT mouse/keyboard are working well.
bump bump bump
Bump. This would be nice to get working with n64oid.
subscribing and bumping! this will be the icing on the cake if we can get this resolved. And no CM7 is not the answer as tv out does not work, at least not at the moment.

I have tried tons of things to get this to work and even killed three rom load outs. simply replacing files wont do it.
as of now with a 2.2 rom you can see the wiimote and get all the way to where you are asked to use a passkey, but the passkey is not skippable. Also the apps that are in the market are no longer either supported or updated, but now that Galaxy S devices have the HID capabilities it would be nice if one of those dev's look at the device to get it to work.
Isn't it something to do with TouchWiz????
I think I read that somewhere
It works in cyanogenmod7.
Any progress

yes but CM7 is not stable yet.
I dont think any1 want to flash a new rom just to play some games with a wiimote and then flash another rom to use the "needed" parts of the phone, like the camera, 2g/3g etc.
To bad i would give a good donation if a dev would support this on the sgs
Any progress?

[Q] Leaked Skype - Galaxy Tab

Is there any chance that we could be seeing the new leaked Skype somehow get manipulated to work on our galaxy tabs? I know it was originally for the Thunderbolt.
If this has already been discussed please provide me the link to the thread.

What's wrong with the market build?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA Premium App
Are you using it? And is it version 1.0.0.983 like on the market? ppl say that video calls are not working.
Does anyone here have a fixed apk?
Does the Galaxy come with a version of Swype preinstalled??
If not then it would be considered as warez and therefore should not be posted here.
Skype. & not swype
Still Skype can be found at the market. & is working

In some countries people cannot find Skype on the Market. I'm not 100% sure but there are probably limitations... Anyway, it is easy to workaround them using MarketEnabler.

Thanks solo13. I tried and it complains "skype can not determine your phone number and will now exit."
Wait. Do I have to pre-register my tab's phone number using another skype client or their website?

will this version is sama as the market version? cus when i using my existing skype, the front camera will be freeze after a few second ... was this is because of skype compatibility issue or the Gtab software issue ? appreciate someone can help ... thanks.
Skype doesnt support video on the Galaxy tab because they claim Froyo doesnt give access to the front camera. This is BS though, because there are many other apps that do.
Try Clearsea. Works great and there is a PC client too.

I totally agree with you. A hacked version of skype works well with FFC though rotation still needs to be worked on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
