Skype on the Note? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Can anyone confirm that Skype works on the Note and specifically can one switch between the front and back cameras?
I have a 7" Galaxy Tab and can't switch the camera as the option is not available and want to know if the option is avaiable on the Note.
Many thanks.

You should be able to switch camera in Skype. Or you can find the mod version of Skype online and this give you the feature

yes it works perfect everything

Anyone modding Skype 2.0 for desire?

Just though I would ask if anyone has modded the .apk file to allow us desire people to use video chat out of the back camera ?
Many thanks

Installed this and videocall button exists, but it's late here and cant try it.
I swear I once got the camera working on the previous version. I don't know. Might of been the iPhone instead.
I would love to have the video option as well. It's silly that just because of no front camera the Desire is not supported. There still could be use for the video function
I have google talk 2.3.4 installed and the video works there, but still would love proper Skype support also...

skype 2.0 and no signout
This skype 2.0 doesn't provide any "signout" feature like it did, and not it just sits in the notification bar until I go to setting/application and force it to close.

[Q] Skype Front Facing Camera Hack?

The new Skype (2) was released today and has support for 4 phones with front facing cameras. I was wondering if it's possible for the Netflix hack to be applied to Skype... in at least a similar fashion? I'm not sure how the netflix hack worked to begin with (APK hack or Build.prop... still a noob to android guts). I'm also wondering if it only works on 2.3 because of the new camera api's...
Anyone else curious/interested? I don't know how to hack it but I am just curious.
I am both, curious and interested...
Sadly, a simple mod on the APK or build.prop won't be enough. That's the reason Qik has a dedicated video app for motorola atrix. It's an API/driver issue.
In android development theres one, check it out :-D(before complaing, its test version guys)
Cool, that was fast! I didn't see it, must have come up right before I posted.
Edit: Can't find the topic, got a link?

not entirely correct, with Gingerbread (2.3.3+) Google included a standard FFC driver which Moto has stated is compatible with the Atrix and should be used for any further development on GB platforms. on froyo, all carriers had to figure out FFC drivers on their own, but for GB it's standard.

it's in the main Android Apps forum, an SGS user modified theirs to work on the SGS, but on the Atrix it force-closes on sign-in.

It doesn't FC on sign in for me, it FC's when I try to do a video chat.
Sigh... and still no use for the front facing camera...

I know it isn't Skype. But Fring works pretty good between my and my sons Atrixs.
But I'd so much rather use Skype.

are you running froyo or gingerbread?
So are we saying that once Gingerbread is fully released for the Atrix that Skype will easily be able to add support in for the phone?

theoretically, yes. since all GB devices will be able to use a common FFC driver, it shouldn't be a problem. of course, nothing ever goes that smoothly or easily...
skype and all would be great, but id be more interested in getting the FFC to actually work... in the unofficial GB (or whatever u wanna call it) release the FFC doesnt work..
How about on the skype hack that just came out (look at android police) on 2.3.4

Download additional camera modes: did you know it?

Well I was disappointed Sunday by the available surround capturing mode in my Edge when I found out today in the camera settings that you can actually download many additional modes, included the previous surround mode I was used to set in my S4 LTE+!
I think that many of us didn't know it either or?

My 2 years old son seems to have a built-in 'avoid focus' system and Sport mode is the only one that gives satisfactory results.

I doubt if that's possible. Also, I remember watching some video where you could change the focus of the objects after the pictures has been taken? Does anyone here has it?

s9 rom port

I assume all of you know the galaxy s9 is released, and it has brought some cool features. I'm asking myself, would it be possible to port the s9 rom to s8? It would bring some nice features, like slow mo background, ar emoji(i think), intelligent scan(i think) , enhanced camera app and a lot more. Please give your opinion of that and if it would be possible to have those features on our still fantastic device! Anyone who think he can do this??

Someone will probably will once the firmware drops, nor everything can be ported though as our hardware might not support it, we'll see how things go

are there so much hardware differences? other than the back camera and the normal stuff, there aren't many things changed. Intelligent scan must be portable. maybe samsung will release it for s8 with android p, who knows?? I'm just thinking, would treble give some problems, since s9 has ot and s8 doesn't?

Stuff like intelliscan will be fine, but the s9 has extra sensors on the front aswell, but you know we have good devs, may be they'll be able to port the stuff over

it does? i didn't hear anything about that?
So far, as I know, the features S9 has is related to hardware (like, aperture changes for camera) and also sensor that makes samsung-style animoji available. So, fingers crossed.
Besides it, I think everything already got covered up on S8 & S8+.

In the latest Oreo beta for 950U (CRB8), there is actually a package called intelligentscan. I assume it will eventually be activated, if it is not already.

Any gcam version working in tab s6 lite
upppppppp
Bump for interest
I researched and tried all apk of google cam [8.xx , 7.4.x] , on my tab s6 lite but didn't successful.
I got two gcam go versions which you can try and are fully functional.
You can download them from below
Hi. You can use this mod
I also couldn't find a working GCam, but the best GCamGo I found was "CameraGo_2.5_Greatness_Special-2", and you should enable HDR+ for better quality. Enabling Night Mode sometimes produces exemplary quality, which I say is much better than the stock camera.
