Thanks for the perfect "hack". I'm having the SGS2 and it works perfect. But my girlfriend is having the S1. What I try, the picture of the frontcam is 270 degrees of. If I use the rotate option, then it is OK, but right half of the screen is grey. She is still on FROYO (thanks to T-mobile).

What I'm missing in both version is an option to still do the autostart. I know you removed it, but perhaps I'm 1 of the few that realy likes it that it is autostarting after a reboot. Could you make it selectable like it was in the 1.x version of Skype?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You're probably running droidrx's froyo builds on the GS1.

I've fixed a little bit the 270 deg rotation bug in my builds, but they're for Gingerbread only.

So you will have to ask droidrx to fix it, or flash a 2.3 rom on your gf's phone :D

Will see if I can make autostart on boot selectable..

edit: think I did it :D will be in v06!

Video stuck on initializing on i9003!!

I upgraded my Galaxy i9003 to version XXKPE (GB v2.3.4) and installed Skype 2.0(v5). It places the calls perfectly and detects both the cameras. However, it doesnt even shows preview. I have tried using both the cameras, but to no avail also have tried to Force 320*480, and followed the other settings mentioned in the post.

Attached is the logcat from the phone.

Please help

Lark FreeMe 70.2 black screen / not sending video issue

theos0o, camera.apk attached. I didn't used the super manager, just copied what was in /system/app, I hope it's the correct one.

I've also checked your latest version (v05), didn't expected it to work, just in case. And it didn't worked. Tested also this new option (Phone-allocated buffer), but no luck :(

and FYI (not that it bothers me) - in v05 version I don't have any sign-in/out sounds (although it's not disabled). The incoming call is ringing normally.

text chat vibration

Sorry to ask this , but with my phone (Desire HD) , text chat vibration doesnt work , i only get sound notifications .

it vibrates with text chat ONLY when i put the phone into vibration mode .

i tried to wipe/uninstall and re-install v05 , player around with vibration settings but still didnt work for me.

did a few tests afterwards and here r the results so far , might help :

-Phone set to normal loud notifications :

call rings = yes

call vibration = yes

chat text sound = yes

chat text vibration = not working

-Phone set to a LOWER ringing profile :

call rings = yes (still as loud as it was on max level)

call vibration = yes

chat text sound = yes

chat text vibration = not working.

-Phone set to vibration mode :

call rings = mute

call vibration = yes

chat txt sound = yes

chat text = not working

-Phone set to silent mode (no vibration) :

call rings = mute

call vibration = yes (supposed not to vibrate in this mode)

chat text sound = mute

chat text vibration = no

i guess the app doesnt really follow the device's general settings

would really appreciate if someone could investigate through that , could it be a bug with all HTC devices ?

thx for the help.

PS : OT , is there a way to mute the call ringing (i tried to press the volume button like in normal call , but it didn't do anything)

Samsung Query

Hi I have a Samsung galaxy S

model number GT I9000

Firmware version 2.3.3

Kernel version 2.6.35.7 I9000NEJVD

build number GINGERBREAD.NEJVD

i installed the file 2.05 for skype video calling but it does not show the video option.

i first uninstalled my existing skype and then intalled the patched version but it does not show the option.

please advise have i installed the right file in the right manner or something is wrong with my handset.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:

[Android Apps and Games] globaltrasher:
Is it only me or the v5 does not start automatically anymore when option is enabled in settings?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
What?

Please be more specific ;)
[Android Apps and Games] globaltrasher:
Sorry, I meant "Start up automatically" option is not available, but I just realized that you removed it on purpose, correct?

Any particular reason for it - I know that some people complained about inability to completely kill Skype process, but is it related? I actually liked auto-start option ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
there was no option for that.

it would just start automatically on boot.

but there will be an option in v06 ;)

I tried with 640 X 480 resolution on both the front and the rear ramera and it is still stuck at initializing video. Please help.

EDIT: I checked with Google talk with voice and video and it works with the rear cam only. There is no option to switch to front cam. If either one of skype or Google talk with voice and video works with front cam, it resolves my purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] iSpencerPro:

yeah I got your logs but I can't find something obvious causing your problems.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] tajender:
@theos0o

Have tried the CWM flashable Gtalk from the above link. When I started Video chat using this one, the phone displays an error for split second and restarts. The v1.3 atleast works with the rear cam. Have rolled back to v1.3 for the same reason.

By the way vtok works fine on the video front (just that the video is tilted 90 degrees to left) but there is no audio what so ever on either side.

I'm waiting for your tango video log.

There's a tiny chance tango can help us.

Better than nothing I guess. :p

---------------

@Goodm7sn

I can confirm that I've fixed both your issues.

Ringtone now follows ringer rules/volume and vibration will work on normal ringer mode (but probably not on silent, no need!).

I've also added the option to select whether you want skype to autostart on boot or not.

Autostart is disabled by default.

Aaaand I've added some more vibration patterns for my friend globaltrasher :)

All these (and maybe more ;)) will be in v06.

[Android Apps and Games] tajender:
@theos0o

I tried Google Talk from both these links. They both show a very shaky preview when I initiate a video call. However as soon as the other person answers the call, all they see is my avatar on Google Talk and all I have is a hung Google talk with all black screen. Only way to come out is by pressing the home key and killing Google Talk.

Sound issue

Just tried it and talked for 30 minutes to my brother and parents!

It crashes sometimes when initializing the camera but when it works, it stays working.

Only thing is, I have good quality audio on the speaker but as soon as the video starts, the speakers turns off and the sound is coming from the normal speaker, now I have to keep the phone to my ear otherwise I can't hear a thing!

Anyone knows a fix for this?

But a big thumbs up for this!!!
[Android Apps and Games] riahc3:
Could you please not bring that up for the rest of us that like his work? :confused:

Anyways, thanks for v05 and looking forward to v06. The "autoupdate" function in v05 is a nice touch :)

BTW can you put it on the Market or because of Skype, legally you cant?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
it's not auto-update.

just informs you if there's a newer build out and gets you here, at this topic ;)

maybe I should make it download the apk too? :D

I can't submit this to the market, I guess.

Hi,

Seems that everybody is enjoying your good work.

I just received my Galaxy s2 from vodafone. Uninstalled older version of skype and installed your APK. but it still doesnt offer video...

is it due to my ROM?

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Go into advanced settings and enable "Force-enable video-calling"

you're right about that..

I'll fix it!

[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
i don't like his work, i love his work!
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Having tried it, I can confirm it's a good build for the SGS2. The exit button and no autostart alone make it essential. Haven't been playing with the video much, but it seems to work even though the quality hasn't been great - the other party was using an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4 from across the world though ;)

Having a few issues that I would appreciate help with however:

1. The app always starts with the 'Online' status set, not remembering the previous status like it does on a computer or on iOS devices (though that's the same as the vanilla Skype app from the Market)

2. More annoyingly, and several times embarrassingly, it rings and vibrates on a call even if the phone is set to silent (don't know if that is also the case with the vanilla Skype app).

Any way I can address those two? Much appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hopefully all sound issues will be resolved in v06.

Just wait!

edit: And they are skype vanilla app issues! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Damn :) So no way to address in particular number 2?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Well as I said, number 2 will be fixed in v06.

Number 1.. hmm, doubt it! :p
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Right, with you. I assumed you were referring to other sound issues (don't ask me which ones) :D That's great news, and on the larger scale number 1 is pretty inconsequential.

Great work mate!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Let's fix vibration then, so that it follows the rules ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Indeed. Since you're so quick in replying I though I'd take a stab at two more things :rolleyes:

- Can I disable the Skype sign-in / sign-out sounds? Very loud indeed... you can tell I like things quiet on my phone :)

- You don't support the ZTE Blade? It's not important, but my secondary phone is a Blade and all sound is routed through the external speaker. It's a native Blade issue, and code is available here.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There is an option in advanced settings -> sound settings :)

There is an option for that too :D in advanced settings -> sound settings

Try it.. 'Use MODE_IN_CALL'!
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Wow, I think I'm turning a bit emotional :D I don't ever kiss ass, but this is outstanding work mate and you should know it!

Have to admit I just updated to v5 and didn't check the new advanced sound settings layout, and I shall try the MODE_IN_CALL setting on my Blade tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] GnFgr:
Good work on this one. At last not only the video call but a lot of other things like exit.

One problem i am having is hard time to see online contacts. Sometimes i cann see all contacts offline (when they trully are not) and sometimes i can see lot less online than i can see on a pc or the normal skype for android.

It also has a problem update profile pictures. Another one is if someone change his status from online to something else i have to press on him (to see his profile) to be able to see the change in his status.

Thanks a lot for this program mate.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I think the exit button causes these problems with the contacts.

At least that's what some users said!

So you have to choose if you want to use it or not! :(

edit: Will check if there's something causing this.
[Android Apps and Games] miro666:
I want to use exit button, because i dont wont go option -> application ,bla, bla and stop from this...Or from some Task Manager. Stay with EXIT button :)

Of course it will stay, but it's up to the user to use it or not!

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can you (or iSpencerPro) upload your phone's camera.apk?

You can get it using Super Manager from the Market.

Launch it, go to APK manager, find your camera.apk, tap on it, tap bAPK and then upload!
[Android Apps and Games] r9devil:
I have a Droid 3 as well and I'm having the same issues. Here is the camera.apk
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
WTF!

Are there any other camera related system APKs?

This one doesn't look like the correct one!
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
Cool down man :) That's the correct one, it's just odexed so the code is outside the apK. ask him to include com.motorola.Camera.odex. And it will be easier to baksmali if he include the whole /system/framework files
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I am calm mate! :D

But I have never learned this stuff really.. ;)

Used to simple APKs!
[Android Apps and Games] r9devil:
Sorry... this is all new to me. I'm in Super Manger > apk manager > tap Camera > tap bAPK > it prompts me to save as "readable display name" or "original package name" of which I posted the latter. Here is the other... I'm not sure how to find the .odex file. You'd have to walk me through that one.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You can get these files using Super Manager again (go into super manager settings and enable ROOT function), then go to Super Manager -> File explorer

And navigate to /system/framework !
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
The code for camera should be named in /system/app/com.motorola.Camera.odex. Find that one.

And it would be hard to understand the baksmali-ed code for that because it uses offsets and indexes instead of function/variable names so it is good to send the whole /system/framework directory so that baksmali can deodex while processing the odex file.
[Android Apps and Games] r9devil:
I can't do that since my phone is not rooted. So much for being helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
If you have adb, you can get the files by executing

adb.exe pull /system/framework <destination folder>

adb.exe pull /system/app/com.motorola.Camera.odex <destination folder>
[Android Apps and Games] hery2k:
theos0o,

sorry again, after setting the camera on skype and close skype, skype to try to reopen, closed immediately and reopened try again, you must reinstall.

use the program catalog, to verify you sent the file.

OK, one more. When I switching between front and back cameras, I got switching between videos on the screen, the one that filming my camera and sending to person I callin, and video that person sendding to me.

Good switchin I guess, but useless :D

Didn't knew how to write log correctly, so I just launched aLogCat, cleared, launcked Skype v06, go to adv prefs, made some clicks on camera info, then made a videocall, tried to switch cameras, closed skype and saved log file.

JEEEEEZUUUUS!!! it works!! Thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I will add this fix in v07, for people with phones with 2 cams, both of which are detected as front or back.

I mean if your phone has 2 cams, probably one will be front-cam and the other will be rear-cam.

If your phone detects both cams as front or both cams as rear, this fix may help.

That was the case with 2xS.
