Skype with video on XOOM

I don't know may it's stupid request, but may could change somehow apk for Thunderbolt that it works on our XOOM devices? I tried to install apk of Skype with Video on my XOOM WiFi, but without success.

I would LOVE to have this working on our Xooms!

Yeah! That will be pretty neat. I'm not a dev, but truly believe that this apk isn't just sighned for xoom, and that results in "app not installed" message

I tried to install it too, didnt work ;-(

There has to be something within the files that only allow it to work on the Thunderbolt. I opened the apk and searched through the files, but did not see any type of device ID or anything that read "thunderbolt" or HTC. I remember when I used to make BlackBerry hybrids, there were "device IDs" that could be modified. I am uncertain about Android.
I am going to try and install it on other model phones running Froyo and see what I can figure out.
The only other thing I could think is that it is just not written to be compatable with honeycomb as most apps arent.

It won't install on my Evo either

Yes, at least I'm check it, but it doesn't help

Tried installing that APK on Nexus 1, Galaxy S and Xoom, none of them work. There seems to be a lot of buzz about this but not too much info beyond that.

Skype really needs to release a Honeycomb video chat client. With so many HC tablets in the works, it would really be a killer app.
However, I think I can understand Skype's hesitation. Can you fellas imagine the massive amounts of traffic that would hit Skype's datacenters?

I just tried G-Chat Video chat, and it works amazingly well if you guys haven't tried it. At least as a temporary alternative.

Why don't google hurry up and update talk with video like when using gmail you can video chat?

Google's video-chat already works on the Xoom.

Is that a tablet only thing as it's missing from galaxy s?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Google talk video was released only for Honeycomb.
It cross platform Google solution because it works with PC and mac running Google talk.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing for Froyo.

Is there a way to use Google Talk for calls with Skype users?

FYI this program works on XOOM and available for Android and iOs system.

[Info] Netflix now supported in STOCK ROM! (after latest FOTA Update)

I just updated my stock ROM (manually checked), and I'm VERY EXCITED to report that Netflix now works! Thank you ASUS!

I'm pretty pumped about this. I live in Vietnam and pay for a VPN service (StrongVPN). Might be worth your while if you like netflix as much as I do. I'm happy to report netflix works for me now.

Strange, it won't work for me. I still have it installed from when it was briefly available a month or so back, but it still says my device isn't supported, won't stream, won't update, and won't find it in the market to re-download. That's with the FOTA that was just released in the US this morning.
...and keyboard lag is maybe slightly better, but still noticeable.

where did you guys download netflix program? I can not find it on the market.

I too cannot find it in the market...any hints on where you found it?
As for using Netflix from outside the US, I'm in the VI, I've used Hide My Ass VPN to get Netflix and other services that wouldn't let us stream content since we aren't in the US for quite some time with excellent results. I even posted instructions on how to get a Linksys E3000 router to connect to the service so all clients appear to be cominig from the states on my blog at Blendblog.net. Hope this helps!

Just before i left to work this morning, i noticed there was an update notification. Left it running as i headed out. (now wishing i had brought the damn thing..lol)

Yup, a friend/co-worker downloaded the update and his Netflix is now working. Can't want to get home and try mine. This may be the nail in the Galaxy Tab 10.1's coffin... Netflix was the only thing that was keeping me from returning the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and keeping the Transformer.

Confirmed. Working on mine, and looks great. Man, Asus rocks.

I downloaded the firmware update as well and installed Netflix. Worked perfectly. Now the circle is complete!

Working perfectly (streaming Sky Sports etc.) on my rooted Galaxy S3, using Voodoo Rootkeeper to temp hide root

thanks for this.

sky go workin on sgs 3
thats ok im glad it helped out as it didnt work on my sgs 2 which was a pain lol but it really does work pretty well,
i got mine on 3 mobile as they do unlimted data contracts which not many other networks do.
i was paying nearly 30 pounds a month on data charges with orange becuase my work dont have wifi.

im on 2000 mins any network
5000 mins any 3 mobile customer

Got it working?

Has any one tried to view sky go via hdmi cable to a larger tv screen ? i know sky have blocked this feature on the official app but i wondered if any of the hacked apks had disabled that ?

Keeping an eye on youtube to see if someone does that. I haven't got the cable to do it but I will be trying this out when I get a chance. Official cable is needed for hdmi output afaik. The picture quality takes a while to get to an acceptable standard but after a few minutes it's not bad. I'm interested to see if it watchable on a 40 inch lcd tv. Sky seriously needs to get the finger out on this one, 720p/480p would be awesome on the S3. A work around for a browser on the S3 would be one possible way of getting a higher resolution closer to how it performs on a laptop. A better official app is enevitable at somestage though, I'm surprised Samsung didn't partner with Sky instead of just Eurosport for the S3. Probably not worth the hassle for them. Stupidity in my opinion on sky's part though as it makes their services a whole lot more marketable to support more android devices. Wouldn't be too surprised if apple were paying sky to drag their feet on their android rollout.

There are checks that could be ignored, or made to return false, edited in a similar way as 'cracking' the version so it works on all version.
Since I its not getting past 0% for my I can't really try it :<

Stumbled across this trying to get SkyGo working on my S3.
Downloaded cracked .apk and hiding root but when trying to use it the app tells me it needs to be updated and when you click to update it it takes you to Play Store and says "Your device isn't compatible with this version"
Is there an updated version of the cracked .apk?

Hi ,
Just noticed this thread and thought some of you might appreciate this tip i posted in transformer Prime forum few months back regarding Sky go.
Long story short i love F1 hate sky so friend gave me one of his sky device keys and i installed on to PC (hooked up to 42" Bravia) rather than Prime as you can stream Sky go from the Pc to tab/phone using Splashtop.
So basically 2 devices only having 1 registered obviously not full functionality of 2 devices but multiple screens and add more by installing Splashtop on more of your devices .

Is there anyway to get starfront collisions to work on the nexus 7

I've been looking for a game like age of empires or star craft for my tablet. It seems that starfront is the closest thing to it, but I can't get it to work. Anyone know how to

I am curious too

Won't install?

The nexus is not of the supported devices. Game loft Site won't even allow to purchase. I've found the the apk file for all various devices, but it just crashes after the you try to launch it.

Would like to know add well

OK well if u use Google well enough you can find a version for the LG p990
Which if installed, it will download all the files needed and it will work on the n7
Sent from either Galaxy S3 intl or Nexus 7
both on stock at the moment!!

Tried installing the version for lg, but it won't download the add on. It keeps giving me an error.

I think I downloaded the add on, I think by using a different version and then just reinstalling it. I got the game to start, but it crashes after the first trailer plays out

Well I un installed it, and now I can't get past the add on download again. I'm not sure what I did last time, but I can't replicate it. I've paid and downloaded the lg p990 version from Game loft, but I can't get that to work either

I managed to get it working by using the Galaxy tab version to download the data. Then uninstall the game and install the LG version, it downloaded the data again but then worked.

Too complicated, I'll only play it on my playbook for now

Galaxy Nexus won't support

How many mb was the galaxy tab version. Mine was 526mb. I tried what you said, but it still says error when trying to download the add on from lg. Where did you get the apk files. I downloaded the lg version from Game loft. Which version of the galaxy tab did you get.

attached are the two apk file. one is for the tab the other for the lg p990. can anyone else confirm that they got it to work. i can't. i tried installing the samsung tab one, downloading the the add on, uninstalling it and then downloading the lg. however, i keep getting an error when the lg one tries to download the add. i've already spent over $20 to play this game, and i just can't figure out how.

can you please elaborate which tax version apk you used and which lg version you used.

Do a search for starfront collision all versions (torrent) it includes 8 apks. I've just reinstalled it to go through it again. Use the galaxy tab apk to download the data (526mb) The game FC's on startup. Install the lg p99 apk over the G Tab one and it works. Hope this helps everyone.

It worked. Awesome. Thanks

Don't spend money on Gameloft games if they aren't officially supported. I did this with Order and Chaos. Every update broke the game and it would say incomparable. They REALLY go to great lengths to only let their games run on specific devices. Toward the end, we had to deconstruct the APK files to remove the device detection code. It became way to complicated to be enjoyable.
I probably "wasted" $40 on Order and Chaos buying multiple versions to make it work and subscriptions and ingame app purchases... only to keep getting locked out for months at a time.
I have a really bad taste for Gameloft and simply do not support them with my cash if they do not want me to play it. So be warned. Don't drop cash on this unless you are seriously desperate to play it, because it may lock you out at any time.

the workaround explained here really works on Nexus 7.
But it just downloads 526MB of data and the graphics are not really the best.
However, if I use the Samsung Galaxy S II version, I get a download of 708MB. I believe these graphics should be better.
what do you say ?
Also, I'm looking for a version to run on Acer Iconia A100 and/or Asus EEE PAD Transformer (TF101).
These 2 devices have Tegra 2 CPU. Which version should I use on them ?

So its lonely here....

Picked up my 10.1 yesterday from best buy...and apparently im the only one? Someone come play with me ?

I'm here, my friend. Just waiting to see what devs do with this tab. It's lower-end, but it's snappy and feels premium. I hope we can get some CM action on this bad boy. Depends on the popularity, but I think the price point should help a lot.

The only thing low end is the price this feels nicer than my transformer prime. Does have a small lag from time to time opening apps though.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.

I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

Wow. Can you post a guide?

Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)

I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod

I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.

coming soon my 7.0 !!

Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.

I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410

I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you
