Hi,
there are some problems with some of the market applications not showing up (BarCode Scanner, Google Googles...), and i guess Skype is in this group. It seems that this problem is present on all 2.1 systems. There was a rumor on google groups regarding this issue, that HTC will be releasing an update for legend (although that should resolve problems with Layar).
You can always search for Skype APK file and try if it works.
ok here we go. this is my first op thread so forgive the typo/grammar because at the moment í am in a rush
This thread is dedicated to how certain apps/games run on zfreak/lordclockan ics betas. i´m taking zero credit for any of the work on these betas as i had zero to do with them but as the dev thread is inundated with non dev nonsense i though that this thread could clear up a lot of the common questions that newbies may ask with regards to app compatibility.
i´ll be updating the first post as often as i can (at least once every 1/2 days depending on feedback) so its up to you rom addicts to relay feedback to give the devs a bit of room to do their work.
ok lets begin

Hey Guys,
Long time reader and user of these forums but always been something of a lurker when it comes to posting/threads!
Came across a strange one today but when I am trying to login to the Xbox Live/Smartglass app it fails the login saying that "Cookies must be allowed" and that it's my browser that is blocking them. I've gone through the browser settings included with my ROM (Details below) and can't see anything obvious so was wondering if anyone had come across this?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Phone - Rooted and Unlocked

Cheers,
I have the same problem so any help will be great.

Works fine for me running PA and Matr1x. I installed from the APK though as the N7 wasn't compatible so I already had that.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I am running CMOD9 on LG G2X but have started getting the same error message, whether using apps (e.g. OneNote, OneDrive, etc.) or logging in through the browser... either stock of Dolphin browser.
I have cleared cookies and set both browsers to accept cookies to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated!
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.
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
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 @zulu99 on http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1646 ), which version of Skype are you using?

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.

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.

My alternative was to move to Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM from @zulu99, 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 @zulu99 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.

Did you try Skype-lite: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/skype-lite/
Greetings by Idijt
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)?
