Best FaceTime type app?

Hi,
I am curious as to which app is the best that is like Apple's FaceTime on Android?, also, is this app on iPad as my mum has an iPad 2 and I am buying 2 maybe 3 of the Ainol Novo 7 Fire's for family members for Christmas, and myself I have a Galaxy Note, would be good to know of an app that has video calling and IM built in, but at the same time is free (or a low cost) and displays your video in the corner as well as theres on full screen.
I am fairly new to all this Android stuff and am keen to learn about new apps and the such.
Thanks,
Martin

How about using Google Hangout.. a feature now included in Google Plus and also the Gtalk messenger if am not wrong.

Fring also works well
Cheers!

Skype also works, this is what I'm using mostly.

Problem with Skype is you cannot see yourself as well as the other person like you can in Face time, Google Talk and Tango.

Yes that would be great. And say what are you using the app for.

SwiftKey - keyboard with superb predictions
Solid explorer - file manager with very smooth and beautiful UI
Falcon pro - twitter app it has good and smooth UI too
Pulse - news reader same as flipboard but I like pulse than flipboard
Facebook - even though official Facebook app is slow I want the UI as same as Facebook Web page so I use this.
WhatsApp - there is no better chatting app than this
Titanium backup - root users can't live without this app to backup all their app+data when they change their rom's
Temple run 2 and subway surfers - I love running games, it's very addicting.

Back up your all apps to sd card which you have installed from Play Store. If you do a factory reset ur phone, you don't have to download all those apps again and again from Play Store.Just install them one by one from ...sdcard/appsaver using any file manager..Or Use

Cast button for Google Music from web browser

Anyway to cast directly to chromecast through a cast button simliar to youtube.com and google music on your phone/tablet? I can cast the entire screen,but was hoping for a native cast button..

I really hope Google adds this functionality to the Google Music web app at some point.

I'm confused, you're talking about the Google Play Music app with subscription service right? Because it has cast ability built-in if you have the latest version on mobile devices.

He's referring to being on a personal computer on a web browser. Far as I know there isn't a native cast button

Ahh thanks for the clarification, now that I read it slowly I see and agree. Wish there was a way to cast from a desktop like how the mobile app does, having a white control bar is not very good for tv's without a screensaver option.

I did have this issue. I needed to unplug my chromecast to get it to work, then it went fine.

I do hope Google adds that capability. I use Google music through the web quite a bit at home.

Soon?
When this loading the google music website icon appears but when finishes loading disappears ... it will be implemented soon?

This would be a good addition but just using the Chromecast Extension works perfectly fine. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

That's now possible !

Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.

Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.

Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom

I used it a week ago for a trip that I took and it worked fine no lag. I download the maps for offline use and used them the whole trip.

It lags very bad in map scrolling mode compared to google maps
