Skype finally brought video calls on our tablet!

Just got this new update and successfully tested video-call from my tablet to PC. It works!!!

WOW. That's a great news. I'll test it once I reach home

At last it came to honeycomb
From Skype app change log:
The following devices have also been white-listed for video calling in this release:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (T-Mobile)
HTC SHOOTER (KDDI)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Live with Walkman
Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V
Acer Iconia Tablet (A500)
LG Optimus Black LANDSCAPE ONLY
LG Optimus 3D LANDSCAPE ONLY
LG Optimus 2x LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Photon
Motorola Droid3 LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Bionic LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Xoom
Motorola Atrix

Not working here. I updated and I still could not get video call. Can you please post the apk.

Possible just works for Tmobile Users, eh?

If you tell me where can I find it.
Btw. Did you try to enable video calls in Skype's preferenses? It is off by default

Ya, it works. Need to enable it in settings. Why is that off as a default?

Ha. Just tried it and it works like a charm. Awesome!

Confirmed.... New version 2.5.0.108 released 9/29 ..... YOU MUST ENABLE VIDEO IN SETTINGS... Works on 10.1 retail... (obviously Non T-mobile).

It does work for me too, have to enable in the setting, AWESOME!!!

I loaded it on my stock Tab 10.1 wifi only. Here are my results...
- I can communicate to my desktop but I get a message stating that the connection is too slow for video.
- I can NOT even connect to my HTC Thunderbolt (Android 2.2) phone. I can chat with the phone but video connection doesn't even ring on the phone and vice versa.
- The HTC Thunderbolt communicates beautifully with my desktop. No slowdown and a nice picture.
Seems that the Honeycomb version of Skype still needs to be in the oven until it's done baking.

ooVoo Always worked like a charm...However I did install skype just in case I needed it.

Thumbs up here! Just make sure you enable it in the settings. After it prompts about "might not work" just ok through that and you get video!!

Not Working
Any Samsung Note Device
I really need testers for this so please if you try this and it works on your device please inform me on what device it is and what rom its running
Currently has only been tested on AOSP/CM11 if u are willing to try on another firmware please inform me of whether it works or not and if something goes wrong i will not be accounted responsible. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! . Though generally speaking if anything goes wrong it can be reverted by a clean flash
Instructions
1. Download and Flash zip through recovery
2. It is a common issue that superior auto and manual are broken, as well as constant force closing of the cameraui and the camera common if you happen to encounter this make shortcuts of all camera apps provided on the home screen of your launcher. Then disable cameracommon and semccamera under the all apps tab in settings. Adding of the shortcuts can be done on pretty much any launcher you will have to locate it for your respective launcher. The shortcut is labeled Camera and from there you select the needed apps. (IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE TO ADD SHORTCUTS BEFORE DISABLING CAMERA COMMON, AS THE SHORTCUT DISAPPEARS ONCE DISABLED)
3. Profit
(Fair warning depending on you devices specs the install can be excruciatingly long just WAIT for the process to finish DO NOT pull the battery thinking its stuck!

If someone could test and let me know that'd be great but for now its only been tested on 4.4.2

HTC One - Sense 6.0 - Android 4.4.2
Just some things to report:
AR effect for LINE works flawlessly
Can't find normal AR Effect (One with the dinosaurs etc.) in app drawer or anywhere
Sony camera FC
BG Defocus works flawlessly
MotionShot FCs after recording
Motiongraph works nicely as well
SocialLive works well
Wikitude places works nicely as well
The following apps which I can't find in the app drawer:
AR Effect (The normal one)
Info-eye
Voice Balloon Photo
A very nice job though!
P.S I only tested the Camera apps
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Camera Common also FC'ed but prevented that by disabling it in Settings > Apps

Never mind

Yup there are still some Fc's thanks for the feedback to get the effects missing like Ar effect just go to widgets then shortcuts or for Sony launcher hold on the screen hit apps and then shortcut select the camera and add for all the effects listed there afterwards you can disable camera common and the camera app. Make sure to disable the Camera common after making of shortcuts from there on out its retty much functional without any fc's allowing to use cool functions like background defocus.
Btw Zeroinfinity you are amazing absolutely loved Purexaudio for the Z back in the 4.1.2 days wish you never had to leave. Truly amazing to day its the best sounding mod for the Z . So thanks for that mod, never got to thank you before as i was not part of xda when you left, the guys over at the Htc One thread are lucky to have you :good:

Z1 LolliPoP Review

after a long wait for lollipop (i mean after release)
a few days ago i created Pre rooted fw with PRF Creator and flashed it without wipe data
before that i had 157 rooted and my bootloader was unlocked and didn't had any TA backups
and now here is my small review
1-the UI and Animations are lovely i really love the new animations new lockscreen is defenetly better than the old one specialy with analog clock!
2-speed is increased (i kept all my data and apps) but it boots up faster,open apps faster,and more importantly the Previous apps stays open for longer time (on kit kat i was able to open 4-5 apps multitask between them now on LP i opened 6-7 apps and multi tasked between them)
3-THE SOUND!!
the hot thing about LP!
the speaker sound is less than KK which is bad very bad!on headphones i tried on stock MH750 and philips citiescape .....on first boot sound was flat..flat as paper!!no basses at all!
but on second boot everything went back to normal!
i didn't use any sound mod on KK it was clear enough for me and now its as good as it was
4-camera real time iso caused lag on it but overall the colors in pics are better now( i used drm hack Bionz is working just ok)
it boots faster now
5-back on Kk it had some delay to wake up but now it wakes up before you even know you pushed it
6-i've included the smart backlight and smart rotation and 4k in my zip they all work ok now i hardly suggest you to install them!
thats all that came to my head right now
thanks for reading

Camera NX for MI A1?

Hello,
I've tried a couple of apks of Camera NX found over the internet, they kind of work, the camera starts but I only see a black image, after I change a couple of options in settings I can see images from the camera normally but if I try to take pictures the camera freezes, is there a port or a working Camera NX?
Thanks.

there is no support for any Google Camera for now without rooting your device.

Are you rooted? Since Camera NX is a google camera port, you would need to enable Camera2 API in order to use it.
IMO, you may as well peruse these options found on this page
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
They also need the Camera 2 API enabled but at least you get to choose the different versions of google camera.

I'm not rooted but I'm thinking of doing it, do you think this version will work if I do that?

Force app to go full screen, including the camera cutout?

Hi all,
Does anyone know why it is that we can't make all apps go full screen? Too many just cut a black bar at the top where the camera is.
I've heard it's because of Android 10 and devs have to enable but I've used other Android 10 devices that allow you to force proper full screen on all apps. The inbuilt full screen apps setting only shows a couple of apps.

I'd also love to know if this is possible... It's driving me insane with the huge black bar cutoff.

Install the G- Visual magisk module
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/root-oneplus-6-6t-notch-killer-t3945193

Just use Netflix and Amazon prime older apks for full-screen
I have older versions of these two which let u full screen (even the cutout area ) if u install this version u can then select full-screen mode for these apps which drove me crazy with the same problem on my 1+7. Hope it helps all OnePlus 8 n 8 pro users
Just google Netflix 6.13.0 apk and Amazon prime video 3-0-246-15341 apk at least untill OnePlus fixes this issue u can find some peace with ur new device. And yes welcome to OnePlus :laugh:

Choose this one...
It appears like this..

I use the "None display cutout" module in the Magisk download section. Works just like the notchkiller by enabling in developer settings.
But seriously. My S10+ was able to do that natively. What is Oneplus doing

I'm on the standard OP8 and that G-vision module works but it pushes the clock so far left most of it is blocked by the camera. Is that normal? Is there a fix for that too?
If that doesn't work then at least I was able to push the status bar icons further up making the spacing look more even. So there's that.
