Me too ! For me (Xolo Q800 quadcore,custom ROM,Jellybean) v19.1 is better than v21,or v22. That is !
[Android Apps and Games] mikestan:
Thanks for this v22, so far I dont seen any issue as its fits on what I needed most comparing with the prev ver.

Works very well on my GS2 4.1.2
[Android Apps and Games] AndyPopely:
Thanks dbzgod for taking the time to respond and sharing your observations on the S2's CPU …. I'll definitatly discuss this with my friend.

As to item #1 …. has anyone else had the issue with emoticons? … even though the emoticons work on Skype's V3 they are tiny on the phone compared with their size with Skype on PCs/MACs.
[Android Apps and Games] dimsar2013:
Glad to see a new version with bug fixes and improvements. An inverted version would satisfy me completely.

Nice work theos.

Having some issues with the inverted build so no release today..

Trying to get it done.
[Android Apps and Games] drh104:
thank you very much..

for the text messages, the v19.1 is the best

other skype v4.* will take sometimes to be notified..

i noticed that

the skype version for the iPhone/iPad is the best

if you r calling, you can know either it's " connecting.. " or " ringing... " or " busy.." and even in the log they put either " no answer " or " declined "

on skype v4.*

you never know.. it displays just " calling.... "

i hope i will find these simple things one new coming versions

One very small issue. Advanced settings fails to open if the camera permission is revoked in app ops. There's not much sense in using this mod if you're not planning on using a camera though :)

Modify Skype v.19.1

Hello my friends. My name is Chris, from Romania. I have 53 years old. First, thanks you [MENTION=226593]Theo[/MENTION]0o for your great work. I assure you all my respect. Please help me. I use, in my smartphone, Skype v.19.1. For me is the best. For my eyes old, I want to change tool bar (bar with icon switch camera,microphone,end call), from video call, to make 100% transparent,like Skype 4.5 or 4.7, and a little smaller (minimum possible). I wish also to make text, in chat message, a little big, and change blue color to white or yellow. I use this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251719, step by step. I decompiled Skype.apk and, for test, without doing any modification, I recompiled the application. In the attached picture you can see the errors. Why ??? I do something wrong ? I try install application compiled in "dist" folder, but it can not install. Please help me to how can I solve this. Thank`s in advance. Best regards.

[Android Apps and Games] Camo260:
I noticed that Skype's version 4 doesn't give any notifications for incoming messages when the app is open.

Do you think it is possible to implement an advanced setting that would allow you to still recieve notifications when you have a Skype chat open or are on the recent tab?

I was using Skype 3.2 before using your one and I liked how it did that because sometimes when I have my phone docked I leave the app open and I don't look at my phone all the time, so then I am able to hear when I get a message.

That would be cool if you are able too :D

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There's an option in Skype settings for that.
[Android Apps and Games] Camo260:
Oh haha weird, is that the sync group messages option?

Because that is the only option I don't have enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Sorry, probably misunderstood.

Do you mean notifications should fire when the app is NOT in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] Camo260:
Yeah

I meant still getting the sound and vibrations when you get a message when the app is open and onscreen

(on the recent tab or if you are in another chat)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Sounds tricky.. especially figuring if the chat is active and not showing that notification.

May be easy to always show notifications, but that'll apply to active chat too.
[Android Apps and Games] Camo260:
So what version 4 does at the moment is it does register the new message with the app active but it just doesn't make a sound or vibration.

What I want is to be able to have an advanced option that would allow Skype make a sound/vibration notification for all new incoming messages. (even in the current chat)

If you are willing to give this a try I'd be happy with whatever is easiest.

Thanks for making Skype so much bettter haha
[Android Apps and Games] bvsbutthd101:
My skype does the same thing. (I'm on the most recent verison) I have the options in the settings menu to enable sound, vibration, and pulse light. But whenever I get a new message I don't get notified. As you can imagine, it can get a little annoying having to randomly look at my phone just to see if I have gotten a new message.
[Android Apps and Games] decalex:
Video Preview

I think I already know the answer to this but,

Is there a way to preview your video settings (like the awesome additions in this mod) in a real time setting?

Similar to how the video settings work on the desktop client?

That would be awesome.

Thanks so much for this mod. I've used it forever. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] dmitryfisko:

Sometimes terribly buggy.
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Is it just me or does Skype die as soon as screen is off? According to my testing with another account, on my laptop, it doesnt receive anything and quickly goes "offline" whenever I turn off the screen :( Guess I gotta use IM+ which also does Skype pretty so-so..

It's amazing that a proper app for this protocol cannot be made. Worst is that I only use it for chat messaging. All I need is some reliable way to chat to my friends on Skype without it being a major battery drain etc. Apparently thats too much to ask from Microsoft.
[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
Yes, it disconnects immediately on minimizing.
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
I fiddled around with it a bit, I felt like it was caused by Xperia Stamina Mode.. but Im not sure? this app has never been realiable, but god.... I switched back to 4.0... Had same behavior in 4.5.. I guess this means I gotta do without the "amazing" battery saving changes they've made in the later versions..
[Android Apps and Games] krlosRS:

happens in 4.9 too :(
[Android Apps and Games] se1988:
Have you tried enabling the persistent notification?
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Ye. The app isnt being killed, I've made sure of that.
[Android Apps and Games] blasterrr:
I hear you man. I knew Skype will go down the drain since Microsoft took over. Something so simple as instant messaging stays broken, it's amazing on Microsoft's part that they don't want to fix it. I have heard similar stories even for the playstore version.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I am not a developer but was just wondering if giving Skype an access under Accessibility settings will help with notifications like some other mods need it.
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
If only it was still Windows Live Messenger that was the main IM chat client. It was made by Microsoft but unlike Skype it worked perfectly on Windows computers and it wasn't a problem for people to code their own clients for it. If it was still being used there would be a lot of great alternative apps for Android, for sure. Skype only got IM+ as an alternative to the official app these days because it's so closed (I wonder how THEY keep it 'working' while everyone (Imo, Nimbuzz, etc) else gave up Skype support?)

Anyway.. It's all thanks to Microsoft making Skype more and more closed for some reason. Sucks for a guy like me who ONLY need it for text chatting, which is reaaaally quite basic.

I hope it's not too difficult to implement. As I said in my previous post, I'd be willing to donate towards this being implemented.

Hello there.

I Just wanted to report that Skype V 4.7.0.43514 (V 22) works perfectly on my i9300 running CM11 (Temasek's).

I was having a lot of issues with Skype latest version (5.x) from Google Play: it would close the dialer whenever it was calling a Skype or a conventional number. I tried other older versions and Skype wouldn't let me login. The version from OP works perfectly!

So, big thanks to [MENTION=3387304]theos0o[/MENTION] ! Awesome work! =)

Greetings from Brazil,

No Skype icon ?

Hello,

I was using V17 since a long time, and I liked it very much. Thank you.

Yesterday it stopped working. ( It would not sign in, displaying a message " cannot sign in. Check network settings" or something like that.)

I tried, V16, V18, V19, but neither worked. Then, I tried V22, and V22 works, but I noticed that there is no Skype icon in the status bar, when it is running. So, I can't tell if Skype is running in the background or not at a first glance. Could you please add this Skype icon?

I have read sometime ago that Microsoft would change the protocol, so that the current version would not be compatible in the future. So, they may already have changed something. It is a pity, because I like the old version like V17.

Now that the old versions don't seem to be working, could you please keep Skype as simple and with a classical interface as possible?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] 3to4:
Me, too. I would like to go back to V17. So, isn't there a way to fix this problem of signing in??
[Android Apps and Games] MassiveEffect:
There is no need for a mod to fix this, the option is already provided in Skype.

Within Skype press your menu button on the phone and go to settings>Notification Settings

Under that you need to check the box next to "Skype Status (Show Skype as an ongoing notification)"

This will give you top notification bar icon to show Skype is running/online.
[Android Apps and Games] 3to4:
Thank you very much. I did not know this feature was now an option.
[Android Apps and Games] MassiveEffect:
Yeah they have made a lot of lame changes. Now the app always crashes on my Xperia when trying to receive calls or making calls, only a full restart of the phone will fix it for the first few calls after which the problem comes back. Skype has now become a bloated PoS. Anything MS touches just dies.
[Android Apps and Games] 3to4:
I agree. Skype has become a bloated monster application. That's why I really want to go back to V17,which, unfortunately does not work anymore.

I use Skype on my PC (Windows XP), too. I use 3.8.0.188. I HATE later versions, with useless bloated features for me.

Well, it's time to look for an alternative. Unless the OP can strip down Skype and offer a simple and non bloated version.
[Android Apps and Games] MamomaN:
I tried to run it over 3G but didnt work

[Android Apps and Games] khanmein:
v22 app not installed on temasek rom i9300.. not working at all..
[Android Apps and Games] AtmanActive:
Unfortunately, there is no turning back.

The game is over for Skype and that's it.

They want more money, they want to push you ads, they want to log all of your messages and calls, and older versions, for all platforms, are simply not compatible with those goals. So there you have it, the wonderful legacy of KaZaa is finally dead (peer-2-peer private encrypted communications), and everybody welcome Microsoft's version of the whole thing.

Time to abandon ship and look for alternatives, which are very abundant nowadays.

Status for Skype Contacts

I'm running v22 on a Galaxy S3. My Skype contacts show they are always "online" even when they are offline or idle. Is anyone experiencing this situation?
[Android Apps and Games] mymo82:
It's a known issue unfortunately. I'm in the opposite situation, I appear to be always online to them.
[Android Apps and Games] x662.2:
Online state of friends is not shown correctly

Thank you very much for mod 22b - after the recent changes of MS the only mod still being able to logon to Skype.

Is there a way to see my friends status in a correct way? As far as I can see, it only displays "online" (green dot) or nothing...

away, online is mapped to a green dot (online)

busy, invisible/offline is mapped to no dot

it would be great if away and busy would be displayed. As you are working on moding Skype 5.0 you maybe will incorporate that as well.

But maybe I am looking at the wrong thing, please help!

Also, since MS has activated the offline messages there seems to be no way to see if the message really has been sent or still is pending, maybe you have a solution for this as well :)

Thank you for you great work on making Skype useful
[Android Apps and Games] Telomeres:
I'm currently using the official Skype app, but there is a particular issue I'm curious about:

My Jawbone Era bluetooth headset works with Skype (except for the tap-to-answer feature), however it seems as though it routes all audio through the headset, including the ring for incoming calls. Searching through this thread, I haven't found any mention of this issue or if it even is an issue on this mod.

This makes Skype very unreliable for me, as I generally miss calls if I have my bluetooth connected. If I don't, I have to use the speaker on my device.

Is it possible to modify the app so that the incoming call ring comes through the speakers?

Edit: I suppose I should mention I'm using a Nexus 7 2013 LTE, with Cyanogen Mod 10.2
[Android Apps and Games] orky87:
Can you log out to change user name/pass? I can't it simply exits the app even when log out is selected!
[Android Apps and Games] Mandalay3232:
Same for me

It works the same way for me. Log Out exits the application. Exit exits the application as well.

Contacts always show with a green light (as online) even when they are idle or offline. And no way to tell if msg is pending or has been sent.

Thank you.

Keep up the great work, Developers!
