Just checked on stock ICS - "Unable to start camera during the call". Sounds like you might have to install a custom ROM (if not already done so), but the one that supports this feature.
According to the previous poster CM9 does the job.

Found out a3rd party app works during calls.
CM9 dose not have the TV out working yet.

Skype with video on Froyo ?

Any experience about this? I see, there is a modded froyo version functioning with Streak 5, but not with the frontcam. Any news?
I tried the last Skype (froyo) build, no success. The rear cam works fine but the front not.
In order for it to work on froyo, someone would have to write specific code to interact with the driver.
I'll point out that I DID have it working in GingerBread, more specifically the GingerStreak build with one of Fards' kernels flashed, but what currently sucks is that sensors don't yet work with those kernels, including but not limited to the accelerometers, which means everything is stuck in landscape.
Soon enough though, it might be a very compelling reason to upgrade to Gingerbread, if Fards' kernels get good enough.
*(and if I wasn't clear enough, by working, I mean that I had the FFC working)
New Skype APK 2.0
I have read that some have had this working on streakdroid....I am wondering if anyone has this working on stock 354?

It works with the front facing cam now, here's the link

The only issue I've run into thus far, is that I'm not able to tx audio.
I posted in the forum, so hopefully droidrx can fix/enable it.
Video working on SimpleStreak 1.2
I am also getting audio on both ends.
100% working AFAIK!

Has anyone tried the new 2.1 official version of Skype on the Streak yet?
So I got the one from Smokey's link to install and open but whenever I try to log in, it says that Skype cannot log me in and try later (or something like that). I know I'm using the right username and password because I can log in on the PC. Any ideas on what I need to get it to work? I'm on Steve's 1.9. I had no problem with the official Skype version but of course, only the rear camera worked on that one. Thanks.
Try again later...it worked for me. Or keep trying. Maybe try via wifi or 3g, depending on how you got started.
@undrwater: you mean you got the same message and you tried later and then it worked? After that, did it stay working or did you end up getting that error message again? I'm on prepaid and don't get 3G. I only have wifi. Does it work with wifi?

[Q] Call Recording

Galnet MIUI has call recording integrated into its dialer app. Are there any other ROMs that do the same, so you don't need to use an additional app to record?
Thanks.
Have you tried to just pull the phone.apk from one of the i9100 roms that have recording built in and install it? I was thinking of trying that, but haven't gotten around to it. Besides, it didn't work that easily on i9000 -> Cappy.
edit: There is also this. Haven't tried it yet, either. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222368
I wasn't sure if transferring the phone.apk's was possible since I'm a newbie lol.
I'll give that a script a shot. Thanks!
For anyone who may be interested, I tried the dialer mod that PuffinNugz linked to and it seems to work fine for our phones. Thanks again PuffinNugz!

Munjeni CM9

I tried using the latest gapps from goo.im/gapps on Munjeni's CM9 rom and was getting boot loops.
I used th gapps-ics-tiny.zip and was able to boot but calendar does not sync. Doesn't even give me the option for calendar under "Accounts and Sync."
Any else having this problem?
Use the Google apps in the Winsuk thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451906
They work perfectly.

I got a boot loop on first boot, pulled battery then it booted.

I decided to give it a shot last night. The ROM and gapps in munjeni's thread installed without any issue. I only played with it for about an hour or so, but it was really cool.
Here's hoping the camera and GPS can be worked out soon.
April 13 update
Latest version of menjuni's CM9 working great with a number of fixes:
- GPS working
- Wifi status working
Can't wait to give it a try.

Wallpaper size
I am posting this here because I am not eligible to post on the development site.
I have noticed that all versions of the CM9 ROM have built-in wallpapers that are not properly sized for the Aria. The wallpaper that loads first time it the right size, but once another is loaded, they all appear too big, and you can't go back to the stock ICS wallpaper without reloading the ROM.
Am I missing something?
And please note: I am not complaining. The Aria/CM9 team -- notably WinSuk and Munjeni -- have done a fantastic job and great service for the Aria network.
I decided to give this ICS ROM a try for fun today...after someone mentioned to me that the Captivate and Aria (as old devices) both have ICS.
It seems like it should work fine...for the most part...as an everyday device. As long as you can deal with having no working camera or GPS.
I didn't actually slip my sim card in...since it's not currently my main phone.
Battery?
Hey guys,
Im on winsuks latest cm9. it works great for me except my batter lasts about half the time it lasted with cm7. Does anyone know if munjeni's cm9 is any easier on the battery?
I didn't try WinSuk's ROM yet, I'm running munjeni's ROM as a daily driver. In the build from 27.4., camera and GPS are working; I'm trying now the deodexed built munjeni posted today and see if it works better.

Yes i had the same issue, run "fix permissions" in rom manager, i tried that option in cwm and it did not work. I am back on cm7 because for some reason i wasnt able to receive calls, i was able to make calls, send and receive messages etc...
fix permissions did not help. however I was able to get s2e to work by using superSU from the play store.
Haven't tested out calling/messaging yet
call and messaging send/receiving also seems to work for me.

I got the problem, too. For me the solution was to reinstall the su binary using the update option in the settings menu of superuser.

Im on wanam now and I tried various kernels and radios with the same results. I used to be on Paranoid which is based on CM9 but went back to my Wanam backup.
May I ask which kernel/radio you are on?
Stock LFB rooted, Netflix working perfectly.
This was one of the painful losses I experienced with Paranoid and CM9. I'm tempted to try again with the Siyah kernel. My expectations are low though.
Working fine here. Checkrom and whatever kernel comes with it. So is hulu.
had that problem once, but an easy fix is to go into Applications , find Netflix, then Clear Cache and Clear Data.
You will probably have to re-sign into netflix but it should fix your problem

I removed and re-installed and same thing. I'll try a clean install of wanam to see
Thanks everyone for the info
You are talking about wifi streaming, which should work flawless, or network streaming, frozen video while sound keeps playing, which is old issue, affecting all videos in browser and Netflix (not YouTube app)?
Theres 2 topics on this, without solution sadly.
It does not affect sgs3 north American version.
Workaround that's hit or miss. Clear ram or restart phone before starting netflix. Sucks, i know.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

Issue was on both wifi and network but clean install of wanam seems to have fixed it.
Guess even if rom is non wipe its always good to wipe anyways to clean residual stuff

Jelly Bean ROM that works with Vine?

Is there a Jelly Bean ROM that works with Vine?
I don't think there is any ROM with JB that works with Vine. I think Vine doesn't work because of the front cam issue with the new kernel, but our devs may be working on it I think.
EDIT : I thought it was in the wrong section... But I was in the wrong section actually, nevermind. Have a nice day !
UPDATE : Vine now works with Epinter's lastest CM10.1 ROM.

Are you able to actually record videos though? Every time i try to record it closes out of the camera and takes me back to the main page. is there a fix for this?

Indeed only the main interface works... But it may be a problem from Vine too. We should wait a week or two I think before we can use this app.
