[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
Hi everyone,

Has anyone of you succeeded to get Skype properly working on Nougat, with the stock ROM?

So far I managed to install it, either via the AptoideTV application (itself downloaded via the browser in EZ file explorer) or by downloading the APK file. The version from Aptoide TV is functional but doesn't show any video call button, only voice call, in both directions (in and out calls).

It can however access a webcam to take a new picture (I've installed Open Camera for that purpose).

I'll keep you updated if I have any update on that purpose.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Go to settings > app , look for Skype app, click on it and post the whole package name.

I don't have stock Nougat but full Android and Skype work well, I also use the following app to route calls and video calls audio output to HDMI port. Is a must have:

Version 6.15.0.1162 / com.skype.raider

Similar situation with Version 7.32.99.490 / com.skype.polaris and 7.24.0.255 / com.skype.raider
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
This issue with Stock is probably due to the fact that it uses the Leanback verison of the App, and thus deactivite the camera-related features.

I'm also having some issues with Skype on Nougat full Android (ROM by [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] on http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1646 ), which version of Skype are you using?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
Up.

Is Skype really fully functional in your case on Full Android? If so, could you share your setup?

Thanks

I search recently for a working Video call App on my shield. After the Nougat / android 7 update, I try Skype Lite and WhatsApp.

The current beta of WhatsApp was working great. But the video crashed after a period of time.

In the Skype Lite apk, I was able to upload Feedback to Microsoft. If more people would do this ms could think about to be the first, full and stable video messenger for the living room.

Just sideload the newest apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/...ite-1-0-0-27544-release-android-apk-download/ and tab on the Feedback area.

I don't have experience with Skype Lite, but Microsoft voluntary stopped to support Skype on (smart) TV last year.

Thus, they will not be first, they were already there, and alternatives exist.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Did you think they mean not just only smart TVs. In the last year Android TV was not really on the market. Perhaps they mean just smart TVs with own build os's like Samsung and All the other did before they use Android. Create an Android OS App is much easyer than do it for many many different os's from the different TV companys.

Can you tell me the working alternatives? I try many different Video call messengers without success.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
My alternative was to move to Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM from [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION], check this post for more details on the comparison.

This ROM is not available on XDA anymore, but Google will help you find your way.

I'm now using a full Android Nougat ROM, from [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] too, but Skype video calls aren't working (yet) and I cannot downgrade to Marshmallow. Thus, for the moment, if Skype is a must I'd recommend to use the Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM (and to check my ROMs comparison post). Also, note that Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM can only be installed on 2015 models, not on 2017 ones!

I hope that help.

Hello,

Skype-Lite wasn't working.

I moved back to Marshmallow StockRestyle, where Skype 6.15 was working, but now it's also unsupported (Skype now requires a Windows account).

Thus, my updated question: has anyone been successful with the new version of Skype release this summer (version 8.xx)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CRY123:
Hi, Today like an idiot I've used this app to push the screen up to 4K, happy with the result I've gone too far and set the 5K preset, rebooted the device and... stuck in a launcher/app/logo loop...

The phone is Rooted and running Android 6.0.1, I Have ADB access thru the TWRP. Issue here is that no matter what all the commands like: WM, AM, PM result in this error:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "context_lookup" referenced by "/system/lib64/libandroid_runtime.so"...

page record for 0x7fae83c010 was not found (block_size=64)

Of course I could flash new the phone but the ammount of data and how is configurated right now is worth the effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Most likely you will need to reflash.. that's why devs says that you have to do a nandroid backup just in case... Maybe try safemode?(Vol Down after the logo appears)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] silver_ch:
Hi , do you fix it ?

I have the same problem on my s6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CRY123:
Unfortunately not, as CH1N3S3_N00B said gotta do backups when messing with these things!

I needed the phone the next day so hoping google held all my contacts I ended up getting all my data thru adb and then flashing on the new 7.0.1 ROM, TWRP, root and in the end loading up superkernel which allows me to set clock, voltages and governors (just in case is not risky enough that someone might grab the phone and send 2+v to your core :D )

A side note, if you're gonna flash Nougat watch out that the Xposed thing is not yet avaible, I'm a filthy guy and use modules to hide my status on whatsapp while seeing others and didn't expected that.

Best of luck, keep on breaking stuff up, that's the way to learn, although expensive sometimes!

[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] Varynn:
I love the idea of the HTC U's new Usonic earbuds. Unfortunately, while the second screen is pretty badass, it's not enough to justify upgrading from my HTC 10 (running Nougat, Magisk and Viper10 so sexy) which has USB-c like the U Ultra. I'm curious if the 'ear scanning' feature that HTC is bragging about for their new earbuds would work out-of-the-box on other HTC phones running nougat and the latest version of Sense?

If it doesn't I have no doubt that someone will get it working later down the line, but that's not the question. The question is if the Usonic earbuds would work on a US HTC 10 out of the box? Anyone had a chance to test this?
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] tsuishui:
no, the USonic earbuds only working on U Ultra itself, i tried to plug it in Huawei Mate 9 or MacBook Pro but no luck

Great Suggestion! Do you know the name of the program? i'v looked but can't seem to find it.
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] acid1232:
That's not it, I've installed this app(it's name is HTC adaptive sound, you can download it from apkmirror) and still nothing. Supporting for USonic earbuds is locked in system, it's an exclusive feature for U series. I have an answer from HTC in this case, they don't deny but I don't think they implement this in future updates. :(

Worked fine on a friend Moto Z

no Usonic feature, but works like a normal phones.

I know it's an old thread. HTC 10 received oreo update which has inbuilt feature to Scan usonic earphones for customized profiles. Did anyone tried usonic earphones with HTC 10? Is that active noice cancellation actually works?

Well, i tried my earphones with the HTC U11 and I was surprised to find out that the sound is actually way louder than on my U Ultra.
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] TangerineTractor:
I've never even unpacked my earbuds, I use a bluetooth set. Are they really any better?
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] mrew42:
They do sound fantastic.

I think they're slightly better than my Sennheiser momentum M2 earphones using the adapter

[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] marcomateus24:
iknow its an old thread already..base on the thread it was tested on Pixel XL,s8+ and htc 10..the reason it didnt work is there is a 3.5mm jack on all the phones mentioned..the one that it worked fine in this thread is a moto Z which doesnt have a 3.5mm jack..meaning all the said phones didnt work is there is no chip or parts in the charging port for an audio connector..so it wont work on that..because it has its own headset port..
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] kwmen:
I have successfully used HTC Usonic headphones on my Huawei Mate 10pro.

They simply work like regular headphones with this phone - now ear canal scanning or noise reduction, however they have quite good sound quality and are quite loud.

The only only flaw that I have found is that sometimes when you press button on them many times the sound becomes strange and distorted, however it can be quickly solved by unplugging and plugging them again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] _ibis:
I looked into using SamDunk for unlocking the bootloader for my AT&T galaxy s5 but noticed that the code posted on the git was Verizon-specific (in that the bits it writes over in the cid of the phone is verizon-specific). This makes it to where running the code does not unlock the bootloader on a AT&T galaxy s5.

I wrote some python code parsing my original cid and the cid resulting from the current exploit code and noticed that the only difference pertained to the product's serial number (bits 47-16 of the cid). Even then, only certain bits within the product serial number are different. I suspect that some bits within product serial pertain to carrier, and some bits pertain to the bootloader, but I could be wrong.

My hunch is that if I can figure out which bits from the original cid's product serial number correspond to developer bootloader access then I may be able to modify the SamDunk code to allow for unlocking AT&T bootloaders. Or provide some method of calculating a dev bootloader cid from an original.

Has anyone else looked into this, and is this worth pursuing?

edit: looking further through SamDunk code. It appears that there is a dev signature associated with the cid (?) that gets written to aboot. Not sure if this is different between phones... If so then experimenting with only the cid may be futile.

product serial numbers are different for the first 12 bits then bits 25-32. I could post a link to my git if anyone is interested in experimenting with their cids
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I wouldn't mind taking a look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] _ibis:
Thanks man, I appreciate all the help I can get.

I read further into the Verizon S5 bootloader unlock thread and it appears that only changing the cid may not work. If I remember correctly (looked at it yesterday) the cid is hashed/compared to the aboot somehow to determine whether its a developer edition or not. If we could get a regular cid/aboot and compare it to the verizon regular cid/aboot, then cross compare to the verizon dev edition cid/aboot then we may have a shot at possibly re-creating a at&t dev edition cid/aboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
If the bootloader uses SHA1 it may be easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Meanwhile us CID 11s over here just watching you guys from the distance..lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I'm CID 11 too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Oh okay lol.. really wish we could unlock all of the S5 bootloaders instead of just CID 15... what if we try doing like MultiROM with the "no-hardboot" thing like they do on HTC devices? We wouldn't need to patch the Kernel so we'd be able to flash other ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
I know we have Odin mode instead of fastboot and we can not do the "OEM Unlock" in the Developer Options as it does not show up in there. I found this thread (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/) on how to discover hidden fastboot commands.

So I followed the instructions there to extract the aboot.img (bootloader) and then "read" the contents of that to see what fastboot commands are available. To my surprise, it has "oem unlock" listed and a few other oem options, see attached image. Although, back to the beginning of my post, we can not fastboot in.

I would assume we could unlock the bootloader via fastboot commands if we only had a way in for it. I am not that experienced with Odin but I think that is only to flash images. I spent most of this weekend searching for any way to alternately try to fastboot in or use Odin but came up with nothing feasible. I used ADB to reboot the phone into all modes and tried doing "fastboot devices" in all modes but it just came back with nothing.

I just wanted to post this in the case of being useful in our attempt to unlock the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
What do you mean by a way in ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
There is no way, that I know of, to put the s5 in fastboot mode. I was thinking that if there is a way to boot to fastboot, or at least have the phone listed as a fastboot device in ADB, we could possibly run the oem unlock command.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
Ok that's what I thought u had meant .... I used to have a few HTC devices I believe was the my touch 4g I'm thinking about ...Anyway some of the roms I had to use ADB and fastboot to flash a kernal sometimes ADB wouldn't pick up device to communicate with fastboot someone had found that by installing PDA.net (I think this was name of app for Windows) it enabled ADB to see the device at any rate .... I no it's a long shot but something to look into if your bored sometime lol I'm not sure why or how it worked or if wouldn't help us at all but I no for a fact it worked on a HTC device so felt was worth mentioning
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
I'll have a look at that when I get a chance. Anything is worth mentioning as you never know what little piece completes the puzzle!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Guicrith:
Towelroot gives kernel memory access, downgrade, use kexec.

This is the easiest way and only one that is guaranteed to work since all exploits have already been made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
If, of course, we could get kexec to WORK. Any modification of the Kernel breaks the chain of trust and the phone goes into a bootloop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Guicrith:
We dont need to modify the kernel, TowelRoot would write kexec from a file(/system/userlandbootloader.img) into the kernel after boot, then the kernel would boot a new kernel from /system/oskernel.img (which is writable on rooted 4.4-5.0)

The only kernel being modified is the one running in ram and that is deleted and replaced every reboot so trust chain is never broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
But for everything to work correctly we need to be able to hardboot to the new kernel, so we need to patch the existing one to support it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Guicrith:
Why?

If you have kernel access you can just set all values to there boot time default.(unless there is hardware locked values like the gameboy color bootloader)

Clear the mmu mappings.

memset((void*)0x00000000, 0x00, sizeof(systemram));

Now it is in a pre boot state.

If that does not work triggering a crash that does not reload the kernel from rom but hardboots the system may work too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
If we can code this and get consistent successful results we'd basically have a workaround for most locked BL devices to boot a custom ROM.

Of course the only theoretical hurdle left would be to actually code something like this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
Sooooooo been awhile anyone make any headway and just forget to post lol I know wishful thinking
