[Q] Skype for Elocity A7

Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards

I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...

Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.

My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?

Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards

Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming

Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks

as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...

Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards

just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.

You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards

skype works fine with ElocityMod v1.3 , but again in US, coming from a USA ip address you might be blocked by Skype, so a signin is not possible.
but its works and i can call using elocity here (from Denmark)

Weird. I'm in Russia
I installed Market by self (it isn't hard for me) and don't use DexterMod yet)
There are some difference, maybe some libraries absent.
Will install DM and check soon.

In Canada, Skype works fine. Now if only Skype had video calling everything would be golden.

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

Yep) Difference was here:

Your build.prop
this setting absent

I forgot that one thats was actually one of the issues found, but good you found the solution..

I am in USA and Skype works fine....no video beacuse it is not supported in Android version. I have mod installed though...before it did not want to log in.
Chatting and talking works great...

s15274n strikes again with the goods...i would hit the thanks button but it says i'm limited to 5....
but thanks for the head up
EDIT: is it even ready yet?? will it let you sign in...cuz it wont let me

Ikr lol i love it
And yeah signing in a problem too it says invalid something

It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.

Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.

This is nice!

good find had no trouble signing in.

Very exciting!!

Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.

Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?

The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!

You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.

Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.

Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

i was watching it too and was extremely jealous. i NEED a honeycomb tablet now!

Awesome! I just browsed Gun Bros on the market, watched the Youtube video on it, and installed it without ever taking my phone out of my pocket.

Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.

Android Market installations now available via your browser!

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

I can see

Great stuff is this!

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.

Email.apk

Can someone please post the email.apk from .184?
I've deleted mine and replaced it with the unbranded version (EAS did not work with SE branded) and would now like to go back, and take a stab at sorting the issue on the SE file.

I don't have your requested file but did you try to set right permission for the email.apk? I installed the modded from 2.2 and it worked with no problem. Could you share your file?

It wasn't a permissions issue, I think it is something to do with handling ssl or certificates. Can't remember the precise problem, but SE would not allow me to connect to Exchange server and CM7 would.
I used the apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
I hear that the email application on branded (eg Orange) handsets is slightly different and supports push, can anyone share/confirm?

When my phone was still Orange branded, the email application support push email on my Hotmail account. Now on the unbranded .184 software, it only works as pop3, and not very well at that. Doesn't delete emails from the phone when I delete them in webmail, etc. Load of pish. Would rather have kept Orange branded software!!!
Dazza

I've seen the email app on a phone in an Orange shop and it's completely different, we really need to get our hands on this.
Anyone on a branded fw, report in here please.

Yeah its rubbish at deleting emails from the server, and cant detect that you have deleted them and keeps showing them.
Have you tried any alternatives to this one ?
Saying that, the orange branded email app, from what i saw of it, did look good.

I've tried k9, but that doesn't have EAS and drains the battery rather quickly for imap.
The orange fw also supports their "HD Voice", and it would be nice to have an adb pull of this.

Yeah its a shame from orange as the rest of the software that came with the phone was really bad so i over looked it and flashed the global rom as soon as i could, first day in i got it in fact.

Called Orange today and said that all the Orange software had gone after I had to reinstall from SE website. They are sending me a new handset tomorrow!! So hopefully have the proper email app soon. Then see how we go about extracting it!

Good to hear. I thought I was being so clever by tracking down an unbranded handset...

Once I have checked its ok, I will see if I can figure out how to extract it. Might need some help if I can't figure it out!

Should be as easy as copying it from the system/app to your SD card,
Might need to be re-signed, but it should work,
Unless it depends on another app to work, then it will need more looking at.

Got the phone about 20 minutes ago. Can confirm I now have the proper Orange Email app back, and excellent it is too. Will try and extract it when I get home and post it to see if someone else can get it working too.

Great. Do you have the sdk installed? If so, a full rip of the firmware would be nice.
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

There is an app called com.orange.pushmail.z7. Presume that's the one that is the modified email app.
Don't have the SDK installed. Is that what I need to do full rip of the firmware?? No idea how to do that.
Cheers
Dazza

For now, just copy across /system/app/ with Astro to the sd. 7z is an archive type, so not sure what is in that.
Edit: misread, z7 is just part of the name. Are there any other branded apps? what firmware version is it running?

Firmware is - 3.0.A.2.184
Other Orange apps are :
Orange App Shop
Orange Homescreen
Orange Home Selector
Orange Live Wallpaper
Orange Maps
Orange Phone Backup
Orange VIP Contact
Orange Clock Widget
Orange TV
Your Orange
Email one is the only I'm bothered about though!!

[Q] Will SuperGNES work on CM7-flashed Kindle Fire?

Whenever I try to open a ROM in SuperGNES, it shows the controller and a blank screen for a second, then immediately goes back to the ROM selection. I've tested it out on several ROMs, so it's probably not a bad ROM. Any ideas?
EDIT: I just realized I put this in the wrong forum - I meant to put it in Themes and Apps. Can a mod move it for me?

Wouldn't work for me, either. Go with SNesoid.

I think it's available for free. You can download it via Google from the very first link.
