Skype on Hermes (XDA Trion)

Hi,
I'm trying to get Skype to work on my XDA Trion over a WiFi connection, but when I try and start a connection, even to the test connection, the program quits. Apparently, this is because only "chat" is supported on the Hermes.
So the big question is.... Has anyone got it to work? Is there an older/newer version of Skype that might support voice comms (and maybe even the camera) on a Hermes?
I am currently using version 2.2 of Skype on WM5.
Thanks in advance.

This one's been beaten to death a bit. The latest version of skype doesn't support the tytn, but the older beta does work ok. I think there is a link to the beta in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311938

Well you started a pointless thread... redeem yourself and post the link to help others out then.

Ok....
/me goes hunting for link again....
This is where I got it from -
http://libertas.pbh.gov.br/~danilo.cesar/WM/?C=N;O=D
Here's a mirror on my server (may go down at odd times) -
http://www.cavey.co.uk/files/pocketpc/Skype 2.2 Beta/
The cab came from the activesync install directory.
Another link I found is...
http://www.towers.fr/SkypeForPocketPC_Beta.exe

Yes and I don't know why cavey.co.uk had to google because I just checked the thread referred to above http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311938&page=2 and the links on posts 16,26,36 and 37 of that thread all work!

I hit the first ones on the Skype site which didn't work then looked on oldversion.com (which doesn't cover the mobile one) and googled it.
Let's put it down to me being impatient....

Any chance of posting the other sliders? The images on the site referenced in your signature are blank.

Somebody else said that, but I can see it fine..
That is strange..
Looking into it..

Issues with the website SHOULD be fixed.
Sorry for that folks. My HTML skills are pretty poor.

Looks nice, thanks for sharing!

More examples:

hey do you think you can pm with the orignal images for the slider? cause i want to try to make some also

They are on the website I made. You will see a slider listed as "Default White". Those are my originals.

before i was unable to see any of them :/ now i can thanks
edit: it says "The requested URL /\files\Default_White.zip was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." when i click on the white one

Fix the links please, none of them work...

i'm using firefox. the nhl and nfl zip comes up that's all. i tried looking at your codes but it the same as the nhl and nfl i don't see why it won't show up. maybe if you upload it through mediafire or any other file sharing host and have it linked to the png.
<p align="left"><i><font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#FFFFFF">Windows Logo Slider</font></i></p>
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/Windows_Logo.png" width="800" height="73"></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="left"><i><font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#FFFFFF">NFL Slider</font></i></p>
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/NFL.png" width="800" height="73"></p>
i noticed that the nfl and nhl says files/NFL.zip and it works. the ones that were like this "\files\Windows_Logo.zip" didnt. idk if that's the problem but you should check it out. i'm not an expert on html either though :/

OK. I think I have my HTML stupidness fixed.
I tried all links in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. They all work for me.
Sorry again folks.

Is the Programs tab custom? I don't see the icon for it in your collections.
S

I believe it is.
Can you send me a screen shot of what it looks like and I will see if it is even in the manila files in the Verizon ROM.
If it is, I'll add it to the icons.

So are all the images and links working for everybody now?

Updated !!!!

Is nobody interested in these?

Thinking about getting the AT&T set but I can't download from work.

Er, what? Froyo does local searches?

Hi,
I was playing around with the new (fast, fast!) global search from froyo and noticed that when I type a whole word that might correspond to a business (e.g. restaurant, bakery) I get an entry for it. The funny thing it even shows the rating and the phone number, and when clicked gives me the option to call, show on map and even add to contacts!
How crazy is that? Did you know it?

Mine doesn't do that. Is there a preference or something?

It only does it using the new google searching widget. It works pretty well actually, even in a little village like mine

Yeah it's a great little feature, will come in handy for sure.

All I can say is, wow!

Doesn't seem to work for me in Norway.

I think you have to check an option in the privacy settings for it to work, but you don't need the search widget: pressing the search button in the home screen gives the same results.
Anyway, does it happen to you that the results it gives are farther away than other existing ones? E.g. you get a bakery two km away, when you know there is one at a hundred metres and it appears in the maps too.

It doesn't work that way, it doesn't do complex searches (e.g. you picking the place). The second try should have worked, though. If I search "pizza" I definitely get a local result.
Here's a screenshot I took last night, I just checked and it works for "pizza" too:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

By the way, I asked about the issue here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6c98ee37fab6fbbb&hl=en

[Q] Vanilla lockscreen variation?

Hey all,
I'm sure several of us are running ROMs which offer the vanilla lockscreen like below:
[courtesy of Neon87: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751831]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Above, we can see the icon represents the 'silent' function.
However, I have seen other lockscreens whereby the icon on the right hand side has been changed to someting else, for example: Vibrate Only [which is what I'm after], or launch Music Player, etc.
Anyone know how it's done?

I've been searching for that too, to change the silent button into vibrate but I haven't found anything yet
I hope someone can help us to change that

I think widgetlocker can do that

I'd rather change it without using another app, like changing something in the lockscreen code
I think it has to be changed in the android.policy.jar file since the fix for the lockscreen is coded inthere , but I don't know where and what I would have to change since I don't know much about the android coding

Sorry to disappoint, I found that screen in either one of these threads, both are a 'post your homescreen' type thread:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476483
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665991&page=152
I can't remember which page, sorry. But it will have been in the most recent 15 pages of either thread.

so, i have found from where the screenshot came from.
It's from a member who runs a Froyd Villain rom on his hero and the rom is android 2.2
Now, turns out that in android 2.2 this is default the sliding to vibrate instead of silent (tested it out on the android emulator)
I have downloaded a 2.2 rom version and now I will try to find the differences between the 2.1 an 2.2 lockscreen files and hope I will be able to change it

^ thats pretty good going, nice one! I didn't know it was standard in Android 2.2.

[Q] Desktop Screenshot Problems

Hi, i had the Xperia Play (800a) for 2 days now, it's rooted and with busybox. Today i was trying to take a picture from the phone desktop with PicMe, but the image was very bad! Like a transparent image with a pink or red color.... I try ShootMe too, but i obtained the same result. The last effort was making it with the PC with the SDK tools (ddms) but the same result shows up.

Anyone with the same problem?
Can anyone help me with that? or just tell me what's the problem?
Thanks!

I can’t believe there is no way to do a screen shot with a stock phone. What the hell is wrong with Sony? It is so easy on the iPhone.

Not used it myself but I see lots of people using MPE to take screen grabs.
I'm rooted so just use a screenshot app from market.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 just connect phone in usb debugging to pc open the asm.jar. Worked for me

I just use screenshotit

I've used screenshot with proper results. Still, it's a bit stupid to have to root the phone in order to get a screenshot. The Galaxy S, for example, allows you to do without.

I am not a fan of having to root to screenshot.

Ok, thanks for the answers, i try Screenshot It and it works, but it's not a free app, so i really don't want to pay for taking ss of my phone. Screenshot works well too, and it is free. I'm going to try the asm.jar solution today, later i tell you if this work too.
Thanks

Please explain.

"ScreenshotIt" and "screenshot" are two different apps.

@ Logseman & @ matknny . Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 no need to root and if the screenshots colors are wierd you can just right click on the screen > adjust color

I have my phone rooted and I can use DDMS, but thanks anyway

Mozza2k11, thanks for this unrooted tip
