Rear camera still is just dropping me back to desktop on my hero. I'm gonna try and see if there are any log files, or any dump I can get.:)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Crash @ sign-in?

As I mention @ post #1

"You also need a phone with a CPU that supports NEON/VFP instructions, which are used in Skype video libraries.

If Skype crashes when you try to sign in, then your processor is probably not compatible."

Don't waste your time mate!
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
What rom are you using? I have tried with a few different roms with v 47 of the patched skype and only managed to get it working with Oxygen 2.1.4 so far.

Oh by the way STOP SKYPE available from the market has now been updated to kill this new version of skype and re sign you in again when you restart skype....

Brilliant mate this version works on a Desire with the AOSP Oxygen 2.1.4 ROM! Thanx a million!

Works great on my SGS2 Thanks m8
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngbee:
Thanks theos0o.

Hacked Cam in Darky Rom 10.1 was the issue.

I changed to JVP 2.3.4 with Dark Core 2.7.3 which obviously also solved the problem.

Vidoe calls are working fine now. Thank you very much for delivering this nice built for us.

The only remaining issue I could find is switching from front to rear cam and vice versa made the screen turn black. It didn't come up anymore. Disconnecting and redial made it work again.
[Android Apps and Games] dapsynek:
This Skype Video Apk installs on SGS Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVP with no difficulty. I am yet to unleash its dragon. Thanks you genie at XDA. Our costly phones could have been useless without you guys. Thanks alot !!
[Android Apps and Games] dapsynek:
Its ok on sgs
[Android Apps and Games] alndks:
Works on DHD!

It works.

When i start video call or receive video call the camera starts.

The only think is that you have to change to back camera because when it starts with the front the video is reversed.

I test all the apk and only this works on DHD with stock rom 2.3.3 - 2.50.405.2.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Any chance that you can make the notification bar icons in color the same as the main skype defaults:

Online = green

Do not disturb = red

Away = yellow

I tried again this morning the video calling with the rear cam only version and it is working just great. No issues of switching so just perfect!

Thanx once again.

Video Zoomed

Hello everyone.

First of all, excellent work theos0o, very nice hack.

Everything works just great, the only thing is that the video from the front camera is zoomed, to be able to show my entire face I have to put my phone like a meter away from me. :D

Besides that, no FCs, no noticeable bugs, nothing wrong.

Keep up the good work.

Cool, will try this this evening.

One question: Will i get notified via the market when there's a new skype update or do i have to check by my own from time to time?

I'm asking, because I want to go back to stock skype as soon as it has videocall for the sgs
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Check your Market apps after installing this patched version. If skype is still there, you will get notified.
[Android Apps and Games] seppdagner:
theos0o ,thanks for this great app,its works well on my sg s2.video calls to iphone and pc from sg s2 great.many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zerozoneice:
so whats the deal with the reversed / 90deg. front camera behavior?

can it be fixed? heard speedmod kernel has a fix for this already, so it's kernel related?

whats the difference between the "signedskype2004_DHD" and the "signedskype2" (first version posted) versions?
[Android Apps and Games] stoske:
Thnx theos0o for hack, it works perfectly on my SGS (JVP, F1 ROM)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Seems to be an issue with some ROMs.. :confused:

Check this and this.

DHD is for HTC Desire HD (rear-cam only, and some other tweaks for that device).

The other one is for all devices.

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
just try adb logcat *:V > C:\skypecat.log

[Android Apps and Games] Dexter666:
uhm can i start logcat from market and save his log? Easier imo..
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
yeah, I guess :p
[Android Apps and Games] tids2k:
thanks for that, i think it was the bug with the rom i had on sgs .

will try with some other rom and will post result later.

Dear theos0o,

first thanks for doing all this, for me this is awesome.

I have a Heropad A8 and im am using your skype47_rearonly (because i only have 1 webcam but facing to the front)

1. My first problem, anytime somebody calls me i am getting for a really short split second the original skype ringtone than a old phone ringtone and than a really loud noise (like Radio without Signal) I than saw that you made a special skype.apk for the ZTE Blade (skype2.0.0.47_blade.rar) because of a audio Problem so i tried this and i did not get this problem (but only audio).

2. The second Problem is every time i try to call some body with video i am getting this error " The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." (Force close). If i make a audio call and than add video it is working and if i get a video call and answer with video it is working to!

okay when i receive a call i am not getting the usual skype ringtone i am getting a really low ringtone (speaker is on max) it sounds like a busy tone when you deal a number but it is really low volume...... :-( (but it was the same sound when i used the blade hack)

Anny Idea about the force close ;-)...

Blank screen / no video solved (for me)

For info I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGS2)

For those who get Skype on their phone showing video until connection and then it closing to Audio only. I had this same issue and have now solved it.

It wasn't my phone or the Skype version (45 or 47) it was the versio of Skype installed on the PC I was calling that was causing the issue. Having upgraded to the latest PC version Skype now works flawlessly as reported elsewhere.

Therefore those having problems calling to PC, ensure the PC is running the latest version of Skype.

Happy Days!

Your com.skype.raider-2cam-noautorun.zip works on my Xperia Play perfectly.

Leaving "sign in automatically" ticked in general options and using your "exit" button from new modded menus does the job properly - skype closes until I start it again and it signs in automatically without the need for the password.

Excellent.

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I can make a newer build for your phone with less zoom and all the features mentioned above but image will be mirrored if you have "front-cam" selected in skype app.

No zoom is impossible atm, I think.

I'll take a look at the mirror thing.

Its working great on my Desire running Oxygen 2.1.6 rom.

Just my wish list here:

Can you change the icons for notification bar with the color ones? Its just 3 icons...online, away and dnd.

Next, can you make it so that if we place the phone up to our ear that it auto switches to ear piece for the audio and maybe even switch off the screen?

You guys are really getting it sorted.....thanx so much!

[Android Apps and Games] Jaqb:
Thanks...it'll be enough if it opens in the back-cam mode by default.

Why you say No zoom is impossible atm? Do all the devices have zoom in picture ?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Why mate? Can't you just switch?

I'm too bored to look all over those files for that.

Because if I'm correct, skype for android only supports 320x240 resolution, which is not available in your phone's camera, so using a higher res means it just takes a piece of that image = zoom.
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
What if we take-over the preview callback and resize the image first before giving it to skype? Just a thought for now and I'm not sure of the performance penalty yet.

but i went back to the old one Because the video quality is worse it more blurr hopefully can someone fix this. or just mod the original 2.0.047 and add the no autorun and exit button.

ive tested if few times installling both versions also i think its a tat more zoomed.

but the person i am calling with keeps cosistanly saying which version look better or worse.

signedSkype20047_NO_AUTOSTART_EXIT <--- so could you fix the video quality of this version and or make the camera handling like the original apk is there something tweaked in this ?????
