For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

Check out this thread....you'll be happy to know that it no longer FCs on CM7 or any gingerbread rom for that matter!

The Front-Facing Camera is pretty much broken for everything except the stock camera app in CM 7.0.

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!

Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).

Netflix now streaming on my atrix, not perfect color though...

I installed the updated Netflix app released today and now I'm able to stream movies, the color is off a little though.
Here is the link to apk

i see what you mean..i have this green bar going across the screen in the bottom. colors aren't that great..but eh. i can deal with this for now.
watching Mortal Kombat..

Tried austin powers, plays very smoothly but with strange colors

it's the video decoding due to our phones, probably because of the tegra. this has been known since the netflix app was first released (FYI it's been working on our phones since then, the APK was posted in the apps forum)

Still a pretty awesome step in the right direction.

Doesn't android have a graphics layer that's standard across releases that developers can code to instead of hardware specific? Greenbar is pretty annoying.

It does, although this is a video decoder issue.

Your old news statement is old news fyi.

The supplied link does not work for me. The app downloads, but it wont install, saying that the app was not downloaded from a trusted source. Does anyone have a fix, or advice?
Thanks.

you need to be rooted and have sideloading enabled

Damn....
So no options for us 1.83 stock users. Well I guess. I'll read about rooting and side loading this weekend.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. More functional than the app has ever been...but the green bar along the bottom of the screen is weird.

CM7 Adobe Flash Player FIX!

Do you get those annoying purple geometry shapes and glitches when you try to play flash videos on the Atrix with CM7 on certain (most) flash videos out there with the browser? Pretty much the only thing missing from Atrix CM7 was good flash player support.
I found a fix!
What you need:
-Flash Adobe Player 10.2
(http://androidadvices.com/download-the-latest-adobe-flash-player-10-2-for-android/)
Got mines here, but you can use another source if you don't trust it. Worked for me though.
-ROM Manager
1. Uninstall any Adobe Flash Player you have on currently on your Phone.
2. Install 10.2
3. Launch ROM Manager and fix permissions
4. Restart Phone
5. Enjoy high resolution and low resolutions without any glitches!

Hm, will try when I'm back to CM. I used to do the ol' flash 10.1 & then upgrade in the market, that used to work - most of the time..
Here's the apk, easier to install.

Let me know how that works out I've read mixed results using chainfire3d on the atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

This worked for me. Keep in mind you are exposing yourself to security vulnerabilities with outdated flash

That's why I wont be doing this even if its a valid fix.....hopefully a new cm7 beta comes out yhat fixes that issue as flash player isn't so important to me at the moment but it'd b nice to have it working......wish there's was some flashable zip fix or something........

I just turn off fullscreen, then turn it back on and that seems to fix it for me.

Oddly enough, installing chainfire3d improved the performance of games and browsing. I get less fc's and less random reboots. I'd reccomend trying it out

k , it says in the market my device is incompatable

whoops, just found this thread, i used the chainfire3d method...worked perfect and i installed through the app itself, not through cwm...which i normally would and recommend.
Anyways, all is working now...cheers to everyone for the discovery!

Yea been playing it, can get a little laggy on the shift but no where near as bad as the OG EVO (heh)
PS3 controller will be a nice addition, just gotta be on CM7

I can't get it to load into a new game.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

It installed fine and ran good for me. Gets laggy somtimes though.
Edit: I was messing around and discovered the cheats on the same for PC. Like GUNSGUNSGUNS for all... Guns work. Lol and im gonna mess around with the img file today to see if i can add car mods and etc. Like PC.

Got it running on mine, took quite a while to get all the extra files downloaded but it runs. Albeit a bit laggy at certain spots.

Well this sucks. I was going to purchase this today and now it's not even showing up in my market. When I go to it online it keeps saying that my device is not compatible with this app.

Same for me, just clear market Data and cache in the manage applications menu and reload the market. Then search for GTA 3 and it should be like the 2nd or 3rd app in the market search,
Although I can say it doesn't run smooth enough for me on the shift to play it. Works great on A100 tho

Once I clocked it up to 1.6ghz I played with it for another 30 minutes , and I can say it played better at that point (was playing at 1.4 before). Although there still were noticeable framerate drops alot of the time, but it was alot better than getting 10 frames a second 70% of the time.
At 1.4 there were times that the sound would keep cutting in and out, and I probably got 1-2 fps. Most of the time it was when I hit other cars or started speeding as fast as I could. (thats what GTA is about tho right? xD)
Keep in mind too I was on Sense so that may make the experience different from AOSP users.

So, I bought the game when they first launched but never downloaded it, when I tried to download it my device wasnt supported anymore lol so I had to google it up and found version 1.1 apk and I had the issues like the ones described in this post already.
Luckly enough a couple days ago the apk got updated to 1.2 and all I can say is that is very playable if you are in my situation you just need to download the apk (google it) I had installed the SD files already ( the ones for adreno gpu) because I actually bought it.
But if you want to try it you can get the sd files too from the black internet market :0
Im running Supreme sense, dodge kernet at 1.6 on demand, I bet the version 1.2 runs way better on a AOSP room plus you can use an external controller, but still I'm already progresing thru the game almost to the second part of it.

I run it fine with no lag at all

Yea im sure we would all like to know, it's not really needed but id love to play it on my shift perfectly just so I can say I can lol

Yeah I would like to know also
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I have it on the A100 too, its runs like a beast, I can't say for my shift though, since I'm waiting on a replacement. On my A100 though, the buttons don't quite scale right, making movement a little wierd other than that, fine though. Someone on AOSP (a mostly clean, not bloated AOSP) should try it and see how it plays.

I'm also having problems with Instacrap, specifically the hipster talent results. Every time I try to edit a photo it turns out looking like a polaroid or a hemorrhoid. I keep hearing iprone users say they deleted photoshop and turned their real cameras into lamps and ashtrays, but I must be missing something. Is the android version different? I've noticed better results when I ran out of toilet paper and had to use people magazine to wipe! Maybe I could write an app that smears poop on photos...

Anybody have trouble posting pics? Mines keep saying its too small and I know that's not the case because I have my resolution up to the highest.

I feel the same way...personally I can't see why everyone is getting all frothy over an app that makes pictures that look like they came from cameras that need to be thrown away.
Not only that but it's a 12MB install!

it isn't about the filters, there are several Android apps with much better filters and more variety. Instagram is about the built-in community.
