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.

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?

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.

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

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!

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!

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?

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'?

AOSP doesn't support AVRCP 1.13 which is the version that introduced metadata support. Until it does, custom ROMs the devs have added it to are the only one's that'll display song/album/artist.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilitieshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile

As far as I know, no n4 custom rom supports it until today. Google will most likely never update it, don't know what the heck they are thinking.

That's all I was looking forward to also.
Its no wonder companies ignore their users when they needlessly and wrongly report bugs for something which is clearly not a bug.
If I was Google I'd ignore every single bug report which was actually reporting a missing feature.
For whatever reason, Google left it out, probably because its a niche requirement. It's not a bug.
thank god ur not google
maybe it's not the right category but at least I did something to point out that there's a problem and gave other ppl the chance to express their madness about this problem aswell.
And a niche? C'mon this is absolute standard nowadays and we can expect this from a 2012 smartphone when even my 2010 i9000 had it!

The LG apps rely very heavily on the LG framework, so the simple answer is 'no'. There are plenty of FM Radio apps on the Play Store though, so you should just try some of them.

Cyanogen have started to add support for FM Radio, but it is unlikely to work on our device. If you follow their G+ page you will see that it is dependant on the chipset in the device and they currently have it working on Sony devices because Sony support the Dev community and have helped them to get it working.
This is one of those features that, if it really bothers you so much, means you are likely to have to always remain on Stock ROMs.

That is not entirely correct. The factory sysimage does not expose access to fm radio, but the hardware does have it, and it should be possible to enable. May require kernel modification.
Note that motoxpro (chinese market, exactly the same hardware just not "nexus") does expose fmradio.

No additional support is needed to be added to AOSP to allow 3rd party FM apps to work on a phone with the dedicated hardware. 3rd party FM apps do not work because like the nexus 5 and 4, Google did not request FM radio support. We just happen to have a SoC that can support FM but none of the other required hardware.
Moto x pro is not identical

That is absurd. It needs to be enabled at the kernel level, and probably also device configuration (overlays) level. You can't just use hardware when the kernel says "no", no matter what userland applications you install.

The fact is, that FM radio does not work as is. Yes? I am stating that fact. You are making the claim that it can be enabled by modifying the software. I ask that you provide proof of that claim. Proof on the Nexus 6, not the Nexus one, which you provided an article for in the other thread. This is not the same phone as the Nexus one, obviously. The fact that I'm devoting time to search for FACTS to prove your claims, is baffling to me, as this issue is of no interest to me. I have Google play all access for my music needs. Yet I continue to search. Yes the 805 has native support for FM but without hardware to go with it, it's useless. Answer me this, if you will, why then does the nexus 6 wiki page say no support, along with other reputable android publications who echo the lack of internal hardware support? Again, I welcome evidence that shows otherwise. Until then, I'm done here.
If anyone is interested, this is what Motorola said.
our engineers decided not to include any radio component in the chipset due to this design is not possible to use the FM radio on the phone
