i don't think so, actually, i don't believe, there is, maybe you will need leaked pr1.3

btw, you can disable n9's repo after you install it

I tried that method before, but it cause the phone cant reboot, maybe is because i din't disable n9's repo before rebooting the phone, perhaps u can share the method of disabling n9's repo. So other able won't repeat the mistake as well. Then i will update the 1st post for others who want to install skype in N950 in future. :)

reboot loop you say? maybe that's because of kernel version?
disabling some repo is simple, just remove it from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
it's best to use winSCP for this though

Hi Friends,

I can confirm that the procedure works with PR 1.2 as well as the leaked PR 1.3.

@tonberry, yes please ensure to disable (by removing or at the very least, commenting out) the N9 repository after having installed Skype.

The procedure for enabling the N9 repository can be done via Terminal commands, or via "click-and-drag" interface by using WinSCP or Filezilla. There are some Youtube videos that you can find online regarding this, it should be easy. :)
