I already tried doing that as I noticed the other post was a RAR but the apk is bigger than the maximum size allowed which is probably why it was posted as a RAR instead as compression will save some space. All you really need to do is download the RAR and then extract it using root explorer.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jss42:
Thanks, side loaded and working fine!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Can you upload it as .zip? The issue is that I can't download from from the browser because it always fails. For some reason u can download apk's and zips. I'll keep trying.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] msm903:
When you say working fine? do you mean Video chat is working? the one version I received it works for regular chat.. but not for video chat on my end.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kassy_ok:
no video chat for now..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] raix:
Works fine, but video calling is disabled.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Stealyourface:
Yup, that's exactly why it's a rar. I usually upload straight apk files.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kozdoba:
Now it's again available from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skype.raider&feature=search_result

They push update today morning.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rossvtaylor:
If there's no video chat, is there any reason to install this update? I mean this seriously and not sarcastically. I uninstalled Skype and haven't seen much point without video. Is there something cool in this release?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shmigao:
No. Only difference is higher Res graphics, but still not updated for honeycomb

No video kills it for me either
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rossvtaylor:
Thanks, both for the response and for not taking my question as provocative. I appreciate your time.

Has anyone tried the modified apk (device restriction have been removed) from here?

I'm at work at the moment and don't have my Xoom to try it, but i will certainly try it when i get home.

Edit: does't work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] raix:
That just quits the paket installer with "paket not installed".
[Xoom Themes and Apps] poisike:
It installs fine if you uninstall the old version first, but it crashes when you try to log in.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] raix:
Yes, I just wanted to write that :)

Mine doesn't crash but is hanging while trying to log in. It just shows "logging in" and nothing else happens.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Mine does crash upon logging in
[Xoom Themes and Apps] markdj57:
The modified apk is for galaxy s users I think as it sets your phone as a nexus s which is almost the same hardware wise.

Working well here for voice chat but no one online for video test yet.

It does crash after logging in but immediately runs in the notification bar.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kcrudup:
FWIW, I used to have trouble logging into the previous Skype version, but the (official) 2.0.0.47 from the Market logged in right away. I haven't tried calling anyone yet, but that alone is a good sign.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kcrudup:
Spoke too soon; still FCs when a call ends.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shmigao:
New skype version in market 2.0.0.47 is a serious battery drainer and slows down the xoom gradually but eventually to an almost complete standstill
[Xoom Themes and Apps] markdj57:
I have the new version running with the modified apk for Galaxy S support and it isn't even listed as a battery drain as it's using far far less than the old v1.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shmigao:
That one didn't even work for me
[Xoom Themes and Apps] markdj57:
The modified apk makes Skype think your phone is a Nexus S so obviously if the hardware is not the same then it probably won't work, which is why it works with the Galaxy S.

After waiting so long for Skype video support on android, let's hope they can roll out more device support over the coming days - I know I've been waiting for an age since the iphone video one came out...

Tango just doesn't work properly for me with screen orientation wrong and no sign of a fix for months.

The only one that has worked flawlessly is Vtok and it works on all devices, even low powered ones but it drains battery and is currently in beta - definitely worth watching.

Maybe google will get their finger out and detach Gtalk from the firmware so that updates can be rolled out more speedily??
[Xoom Themes and Apps] djmend:
I installed a modified APK on my Evo 3D and I was able to get video support and it works perfectly.

The Evo 4G/3D were never listed as supported devices so it can be done.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] commzod:
i used the modded apk on the Sony Experia play and it works very solid. But sadly my xoom is still stuck without.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kcrudup:
I saw an option in settings about "notifications" (or "background", I forget) and turned that off; I think that might help (but I signed out soon after trying it out, as I don't need it just yet to be always-on).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] djmend:
Bumping this, would really love to get this working on the Xoom with VIDEO. My family all use Skype for their video chat and it has been an uphill battle, that I will sadly NOT win, getting them to switch to Gtalk.

For now it is nice to have Skype with Video on my Evo 3D though. Used it quite a bit this weekend and while I was at a ball game with my family.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] optic76:
Does anyone else have a problem with Skype not working with their bluetooth headset? My mic doesn't seem to work. :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] okantomi:
Thanks...didn't even know I could do that!
[Fascinate Accessories] aecky01:
I picked up the car dock and desk dock for $11 with my corporate discount. I downloaded the sound redirector app from the market and things were working great.

However, with the desk dock I noticed that I get crackling every time the phone is plugged in. If I unplug the charger the crackling goes away. Does anyone else have this problem? Also the sound is very hallow and tiny. There is almost no bass, and it not just my headphones, because the audio is much better if unplugged from the dock and plugged into the 3.5mm jack on the phone. I like the option of these docks, but this is a big bummer for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
After days of unsuccessful searching of the forums and also Google and multiple flashes between stock Rom and Th3ory's I have figured out how to add sound to his boot animation or your own custom boot animation in his rom.

NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!! YOU WILL BE EDITING A SYSTEM FILE USED DURING BOOT

1. copy default.xml from /system/customize/CID to /sdcard using Root Explorer or another app.

2. open VZW_bootanimation.zip to see what the name of the folder with your boot png's in it is named. Write that down. If using the boot animation that comes with GINGERTH3ORY the folder will be "part0"

3. open default.xml from your sdcard using a web editor. I use Android Web Editor Lite.

4. on line 120 will be the info for where the phone looks for the boot animation and boot audio. notice that boot animation is VZW_bootanimation.zip and audio is Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3

5. on line 120 change audiostart="VZW" to audiostart="part0" or whatever the name of the folder is with your boot animation png's in it

6. save the xml and exit your editor

7. change the name of the original default.xml to default.xml.old

8. using Root Explorer paste the edited default.xml from /sdcard into /system/customize/CID

9. now paste whatever mp3 you want to play at boot into the /system/customize/resource folder and rename it to Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3

10. reboot and finally enjoy the audio

If using a custom boot animation simply rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip and paste it into the /system/customize/resource folder.

Hope this helps those that were having issues!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ILMF:
Kudos man. I can't test tonight, but will test it in the morning.

EDIT: Worked perfectly on Th3ory's v4.5.1 Great work!

Sent from my rooted Bolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BSDADON:
Currently making a backup and then I'm going to try this... hope this works for me. Haha.

EDIT: Works great. Thanks so much. I missed my phone coming to life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hinds73:
THANK YOU!!! This worked great! Now I can apply thunder/heart beat combo as the eye comes to life...lol

@ ILMF - Thanks for keeping a look out.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ron750ss:
great tutorial, thanks for posting it.

anyone want to share their custom sounds for the stock Gingerth3ory animation?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JoeyDVDZ:
Excellent tutorial, gave me back my thunder.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
Thanks for the thanks everyone.

I don't have the stock animation any more. I inverted the colors on th3ory's stock animation and added the first dozen or so png's (the one's that fade in to "Th3ory" and then fade out, not the eye ones) to the beginning of the white boot ani from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024038

mp3 of "Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays while those zombie's get shot up and hit the floor. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xjedi:
Hi stoudtlr, I'm trying to do a custom boot animation. I zipped the files and named it VZW_bootanimation.zip but all I get is an empty screen after the white htc screen. Any ideas?

I'm on gingerth3ory and I took the boot animation zip from there and put in my own icons with the same file names and format, but nada.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
When you zip the files make sure that compression is set to "store". That's the first thing that comes to mind if you are sure you don't have a typo in the name and you have them in the right location.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hinds73:
Here's one that I did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sublimaze:
Wow, that sounds really badass. I might do that. :cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
AC/DC Nice! :D might go back to stock animation for a bit just to have that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dieseldank:
My buddy has the inspire 4g. He bought it rooted by somebody else. I've flashed cynogenmod for him aqnd several updates over the past few months. We are trying to flash new roms and its constantly aborting. Ive rooted my droids and always flash roms and never run into this problem.

He has the newest clockwork mod should we possible get a different recovery?

I don't do anything with flashing a new radio, is that necesary and whats causing the problem?

I am trying to flash core droid or revolution, he wants the best sense rom any suggestions?

I would appreciate any help. If there is no way to fix it I planned to totally reset and unroot and then root it myself and make sure everything is done right, does that sound right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Though probably not necessary, the peace of mind that comes with knowing what's been done to the phone from the ground up might be worth it.

As for a fix to your current issue, please provide a little more detail as to the error.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dieseldank:
It clears the cache and everything like that but it has a line that says installing update then the next line is installation aborted. That happens very quickly when I try to apply the update.zip
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Is this the same SD card for every try? It might be a flakey SD card. Try a different card if you can.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dieseldank:
I have several sd cards so will try the one I use. Am going over to help him in a few hours. Anyone have other suggestions? Should I be able to just flash a rom or do I have to flash a new radio also? <Because Ive only done cynogen on his which didnt have a radio.

Thanks again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Radio is not usually flashed as part of the ROM. As long as you have a valid radio, it should work. If you somehow managed to get an invalid radio flashed, then you've have bigger problems that you indicate (i.e. hard bricked).

The fact that you can boot into recovery indicates that all it well with the device from that perspective. That leaves only the ROM zip to be flashed which is why I suggested trying a different SD card (since you tried several, it's not likely that you always got a bad download).

If it still messes up with a new SD card, try complete wipe, then format system from nandroid before running the update.zip. System partition doesn't get formatted during a complete wipe, but most ROMs should format it as a matter of course before installing. It's unlikely, but it could be a corrupt system partition which should clean up with a format.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Wanna Save yourself some time and maybe some future headaches? Like posted above It helps when you know what has been done. I would start from the ground up. Get back to a stock base and go from there, this way you are not trying to track down something you may not have done but was done before he got it.

As for your issue, If a radio is recommended then it will/should state so in the thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dieseldank:
I have threads on how to root his inspire but can anyone forward a link of how to completely unroot and reset. When i reset in recovery it still keeps cynogenmod on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
There's no good reason to go through all that trouble. If you have S-OFF, then you're good to go as far as being rooted is concerned. Since you appear to have recovery too, then you're 95% rooted no matter what the current ROM is doing.

If you have S-OFF already, then going back to stock and rerooting is just going to waste time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
In cwm are you trying to "apply update from sdcard" or "install zip from sdcard"

install zip is what you want.... then choose the ROM. IF you're applying update.... it's gonna abort.

You could also try reflashing recovery in Rom Manager or flashing an older version of recovery.

Sent from my time waster.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dieseldank:
Since it has s-off and is rooted correctly what do you advise I do to fix my abort problem? Didn't see an answer in there, thanks.

I tried both ways and its aborts both ways. And Ive reflashed recovery in rom manager, should I maybe try a different recovery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Since you are already rooted and having trouble flashing thru rom manager, why not try flashing to stock rooted thru bootloader? It's my understanding that attn1's Ace_Cingular_US rom will automatically do a full wipe and take you to the latest stock rom and radio. If that works, then you can install the latest rom manager and flash a custom rom. It's worth a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
It's not gonna hurt. it sounds like the recovery is having issues with the script so it's aborting... an older recovery may resolve that issue.

But that's a good idea also... flash the lastest stock rooted ROM thru hboot. Then reflash recovery. see If that don't solve it

Hi

Sorry if this has been answered already but suddenly today all my contacts and call history disappeared from the dialer. They are still in the call history app.

Im on LeeDroid 3.2.1 and I have cleared the dialer data and rebooted. Its not fixed it.

Any way I can fix this?

EDIT: Kinda fixed it. The problem was that if I typed some numbers and then deleted them it would all come up again. I deleted call history and then did that and now it seems to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
the issue is prevalent on all androids: when using htc's mail to add hotmail (or sounds like any email), the synchronization is not quite right... if you have viewed or deleted an email, it is not reflected on the mail server and therefore the next synchronization you will be notified of "new mail" even though you have just read/deleted it.

everyone is blaming the fact it is a POP issue and the solution is to use Exchange or IMAP. there are MANY hits on google with supposed solution. however when i tried them out, i am still getting that annoying problem.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:

it doesnt work very well with hotmail (according to the warnings) and i recall i had a problem with hotmail would put up captcha (the image verificaiton) and hinder k9's ability to get mail.
[HTC Inspire 4G] b24zero:
Go to your Hotmail account email option on your computer not your phone.

look for "POP and deleting downloaded messages"

There are 2 options,

Don't let another program delete messages from Hotmail. (If your other program is set to "delete messages from the server," we'll simply move them to a special POP folder. They won't be deleted.)

Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them.

Select the second one. It works for me. Your problem should go away.

For some reason Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync is not the true Exchange ActiveSync.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
ah thanks. i recall they recently implemented that feature... that explains why my hero (which was working) also suddenly broke.

edit: it works. all fixed.

now i cant be any happier with my inspire (battery could always be better)

I'm trying to re size some pictures for back ground on my REVO. Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? Also is there a size limit on the jpeg?

Thanks All.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
according to gsmarena, the resolution is a sorry 480 x 800
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
All you do is come on here and piss and moan about how crappy this phone is yet you do absolutely nothing constructive. The so called "sorry" resolution of 480x800 is correct and is exactly the same resolution as the thunderbolt and droid charge, not to mention most every other 4.3" screen phone out on the market except for the htc,sensation.

If you don't like the phone do 1 of 2 things, 1) sell it and get something else so you can piss and moan on there boards, or 2) shut up and do something constructive. Complaining is not going to encourage the dev that is here and working, and it sure isn't going to bring in others from the outside. So complaining and running others off is not going to help your "sorry" phone get any better, and you are going to be stuck with it the way it is.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i'm already stuck with it and i've been doing everything i can to make this phone better, including verbally supporting the dev that we have (funds will come later upon completion of the RevoToolKit - there's your constructive jargon for you). i'll do other "constructive" things when the time comes and when i feel like it.

also, that resolution IS sorry. it has been out for phones since the original droid x. you would think a "flagship" phone for LG like the Revolution would have more out of the box. the droid x2 has a res of 540 x 960, you can't compare our screens to the charge or any samsung phone for that matter (it's the same res, but sam's is obviously better), and even the original droid has a 480 x 854 (i'd look for more, but i think that'll suffice). my main gripe about this phone has always been about the screen.

i chose this phone over the tbolt because the battery lasts longer. i chose it over the charge because it's faster and it looks better than both phones. THERE. i said some good things about it. happy? the screen still sucks.

never knew that consumers couldn't be unhappy with the product. SURE i'll just shut up about it. news flash: devs go where they want. doesn't depend on what one person thinks about a device. besides, you have plenty of people on this forum happy about their Revo. why can't you just let me be unhappy about mine?

to the OP: like i said 480 x 800. screen size is 4.3 (not that it matters). you can make it bigger, but in order to show cleanly as a background, it has to be the same aspect ratio.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
If you aren't using static wallpapers, and the wallpaper scrolls with the screen, the resolution of the width needs to be doubled to allow for the scrolling... so try 960(w) by 800(h).
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
Thanks! I'll start converting some of my favorite Droid bashing apple pics for backgrounds.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
niiice. i've got tons of those from the Backgrounds app. death to the iphone!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I am ok with you not liking it, make yourself a thread about it, but don't go into every thread to piss and moan about it. The guy asked a question, not for your smart ass "sorry" comment. A simple 480x800 would have been plenty.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
ok. just let it go, man. it's not your fault.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
It's let go, and don't worry, I know it's not my fault. Now how about we work to make this phone the best it can be.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i agree

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southbymidwest:
Hi folks!

I'm having some sort of issue with a corrupt partition/SD card and need a little direction.

I'm stuck with the tablet stalling upon boot after birds/g-tablet screen (it doesn't loop back, so I'm not sure this is strictly the infamous loop issue).

Typical restore methods via APX (NVidia flash, FORMAT) result in no change from above.

Trying to format data, re-partition, and some other clearing methods via clockwork mod, but most of those (except wipe cache) SEEM like they stall out (unless they are just taking way more time than expected and CWM isn't indicating progress well, but the "please wait..." instructions run well into the 30-60 min range, before I've given up on them.)

When I mount to my PC, windows suggests there are issues with the drive and interaction is funky (can't delete/copy to it successfully).

I'm guessing I need to leverage some sort've ADB to fix the partition/clean up corruption, but I'm not very familiar with those, so suggestion on where to get started there (or anything else) would be appreciated. I suppose it could be hardware related, but based on the "unbrickable" reputation, I'm hoping there's a way to rescue.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchaneer.nl:
Are you still running a stock rom or have you installed a modded rom?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southbymidwest:
Stock?

In most recent successful version, I was running Cyanogenmod7, but have made several attempts since to restore to stock via NvidiaFlash (which processes up to the boot problem). Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Nvflash will not be able to fix a corrupt SD card. Please see this post for why not. A factory reset, or, a format internal SD card using ClockworkMod is what you have to do to fix SD card corruption problems.

Also read through this thread. Do you have the same problem as user jroger0707? I need more info. from you to make a determination.

Boot into ClockworkMod recovery, connect to the tablet using the USB cable and send me the dmesg.txt resulting from this command:
