Hi Mate,

I really apprieciate that you worked on this aspect for me! I tried it just now, but unfortunately it did not work. when i see my mum in the contacts list it shows that she has video by the little cam icon as does v2.0. When i start the video call with Mum, my video is displayed on the screen until she answers and then the video is cancelled and i just see here Skype Icon picture and no video. when she tries to start her video it is not possible and the call is Audio only.

I immediately recalled her on my laptop and can see video working. I guess there is something that the mobile version sends to the other party telling it that it is a mobile rather than a PC making the call. If you do find anything then thanx for thinking about me and I will try out any future versions that you might make.

One question, what is the bottom menu option "Use MODE_IN_CALL" option for? what does the "audio failing" mean? what type of audio failiure is this fix for?
[Android Apps and Games] raditz:
Works well with mine! Atlas videocall between pc and mobile!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Well, I don't think there's anything else I can do, but if I notice anything interesting while I look into skype code, I'll let you know. :)

Some devices (like ZTE Blade) have problems with audio (routing or other issues) by default. This option fixes some of them. ;)

Good to see you on the topic GTalk. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793

Maybe you can do just a fantastic mod like Skype. Good luck.

How?

Using another sound as ringtone or by using some other settings? :D

V02 is causing video chat to not work on my SGSII... does not even give me the option of video chat at all. Running stock odex'd KF2.

Reverting back to one of the earlier releases enables video chat again.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
well that's what happens when you dont read the whole post..
[Android Apps and Games] cmd512:
You're right. I read your original post, which directed me to V02, and read all the posts after V02. So, REPORTING that your V02 don't work on SGSII, so might want to revise your OP.

No worries, I just found Pulsar's version, which actually works as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
well, you're wrong.

did you even open advanced settings? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cmd512:
Ah, I stand corrected, I didn't see that was Advanced Settings as it's still the Help icon... thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] franky11:
by using another ringtone (strange id did it before but i only took a ringtone and changed the name into the original skype tone and exchanged it inside of the app)

So whatever you did *****
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks theos0o, just tried v0.2;

With the new option, I forced one camera. But it didn't help a thing unfortunately, videocalling still doesn't work (black video). What I noticed too is that if I go into the advanced settings after attempting a video call, Skype force closes. Made a logcat of all of this (#1).

Another thing, that is something rom related but which still sucks, is that when I answer a phonecall on my phone, while using skype but even after exiting skype (with the exit button!), the dialer/phone crashes and I basically have to take out the battery or wait for the dialer to force close. This is 100% reproducible, and only happens while or after using skype. Though it has probably nothing to do with your mod, it is something that goes wrong between skype and my rom. But it would be great if you could have a look at it and possibly add another option in your mod to fix this! Made a logcat of this happening too (#2).

:)

EDIT: and yea, the advanced settings icon could use the settings icon, instead of the question mark. but no biggie of course!
[Android Apps and Games] Chief_Death:
Hello again..

I had the same issue. After switching from JVH to JVQ the issue appears to be fixed. I use now Ginger real and all is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@barty22

#1: is your video black all the time, or it becomes black when the other side picks it up? still looking into it. you said everything was fine with rear-only builds?

#2: try the "force speaker off" option in advanced settings, that should solve it.

i'm gonna fix the icon :p

@chief-death

must be ROM issue or something, can't really do anything at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
1. Everything was 100% fine and working without a single issue on the rear-only builds. On this build, actually the phone's video turns black when the other side picks up. So while it's ringing, I can see my phone's video on the phone. But when the connection is made, just blackness.

2. I have that option enabled. So for me it doesn't work. Or perhaps it does work, and it's another issue that I'm having. I don't know..

Thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
1. OK, I'll look into it.

2. Do you have "Use MODE_IN_CALL" enabled too?
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Haven't tried "use in call" yet, i saw your explanation of that option somewhere here in the last few pages and i figured it's something completely different, so always left it disabled. Do you think it's worth trying?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yes, "AUDIOFIXED" builds had MODE_IN_CALL + speaker fix!

You've got nothing to lose anyway, try it.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] intelligencexan:

@barty22

I'm uploading a test build for you.

Will PM you within 5 minutes!
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Just tried it, and it doesn't change anything. Even with both options enabled, an incoming phonecall is problematic. BTW, just to clarify, when I was using the "audiofixed" builds, i had the same phonecall problem. When I was saying that the rearcam builds worked perfectly without any issues, I was actually talking about the mod-aspect of the build; the videocalling. That worked great. Even the market skype had the phonecall problem, which is why I didn't pass the problem on to you. So far I haven't come across any build of skype 2.x yet that doesn't have this problem. But now that you're adding more and more fixes and features, this might also be a very nice one for me (and other people who are using the same device/rom, i've seen other ppl comment about the issue too).

:)
[Android Apps and Games] silashack:
Hmm, I used the option to NOT have it auto run and stay resident as such, seems this may not be 100% (YMMV) as I just got a little blue bubble in my notification bar and quick user details from a skype user who was online, I was NOT at the time yet the message got through, had me checking SMS and Email looking for it like an idiot.

I have 2.0.0.47 in at the moment, I did one of the updates, but it lost video functions on my sgs, went back to audio only.

As stated, might be my set up, but wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Not sure I understand your problem 100%, but for the autorun to be completely disabled you need to disable the syncing in skype, which is kinda obvious if you think about it. When stopping to use skype, sign out and then use the exit button. If you do that, then i don't think your skype notifications can still continue.

If you lost video with one of the updates (v2 is the latest), make sure you go into "advanced options" and enable the "force video" (or something) option. It's disabled by default so people with incompatible CPUs can also use this build for additional functionality and features.
[Android Apps and Games] morpheouz:
@franky11

Did you got this working on your Hero H2000 or just by using another phone?

If yes, how did you get beyond the infinte sign-up loop?

Besides my Galaxy i9000, i have the same H2000 china phone and i am still stuck at the sing-on loop. Any news about this problem?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
This can't be fixed.

Skype libraries use some instructions that are not supported by many CPUs.
[Android Apps and Games] Chief_Death:
Can't you make an option to rotate the screen 90 degrees to the right or something for the front camera :P ?

sorry for the trouble
[Android Apps and Games] morpheouz:
@theosOo: Thanks for the quick response. And skype libraries are in binary only right?

Btw. v02 is your latest release and should work with my Galaxy S?

As i tried so far, i only have black screens with video calls. However i just tried it against desktops with skype beta for linux. Their video works of course. Do the corresponding stations have any influence to the behavior of skype 2.0.0.47?

Thanks again

Tested video with Default settings, both front and back cam works fine as before.

Both custom ringtone & notification sound works good when calling/IM to the phone.

Sometimes notification sound doesn't play when sending IM to phone with screen off. With screen on, notification sounds as expected.

Another stable update! :-)

I just wanted to confirm the same problem as barty22.

I got a HTC Desire Z with Cyanogen mod 7.03

Everything seems to work. But when otherside pick up it goes black. And it keeps loading on die othe side. But they can hear me okay... when i hang up and go in to advanced settings it crashes...

I havent try to instal a old "back-camera-only" version... because i wanted to wait a few releases... but Barty22 said they did work... but now i cant find those files anymore... can you give me a link to a rear-cam-only apk in the time beeing? Or will there be an update soon? Anyhow... take your time. Your work is appreciated :)

i tested a video call.. back camera is working perfect without problem.

but if i use back camera, i cant see the person's video on my phone screen :)

(so i need to use front camera to see my contacts cam also)

but front camera its problem.. i see 3 faces of me on front camera. it shows everything X 3..

can u help me about this?
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Here is the older build that works for me, and probably for you too then (EDIT: or maybe not, in that post it says that theos0o would work on Desire issues the following day). In the upcoming 0.3 version however, theos0o added an option that fixes the black screen and the advanced settings crash for us. I tested it and it works well, so maybe better just wait a little bit :)
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Perhaps you can try droidrx's build, he also has a skype mod that's more focused on supporting Froyo devices, but his build has video rotating options. Link. Or maybe theos0o could use droidrx's video rotating code :D

I moved from iOS to Android few days ago, and just being able to get skype video on an unsupported device in 5 minutes makes it worth the move. Thanks !

Sure, I've asked him to give out the code.

That's why I'm not releasing v03 yet, waiting, in order to add rotation :D

/Skype starts every night between 11. - 12.p.m without any user action

Hello everybody,

I installed actual patched Skype after uninstalling original Skype 2.0.

Great i can finish Skype after user with the exit function, all other function ok.

But every night between 11 p.m and midnight, the patched Skype starts without any user action.

[Android Apps and Games] maumaus:
Ok I tried v3

After a clean install it shows the other contacts webcam by default... and mine black.

After that... I can't retry a videochat, and when pressing advanced menu it still crashes...

BUT with "Avoid setFPS" on... it all works!

Even when i hang up I can redo a video call... AND Advanced menu doesn't crashes after!

Great update!
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks, working great! I'm loving it!

Just two cosmetical suggestions;

- The options for the new rotation feature don't have a default selection. So when you click on it, none of the options is selected. And instead of the first option to be called "Default", i think "None" would be more appropriate.

- All camera options "dropdown" selection boxes don't have a "title bar" if you know what i mean, only the "resolution" one says resolution, the others don't say anything.
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
theos0o is that the cause of the blank screens? I never thought that could make the skype camera blind :D
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Ok mate, thanks for your detailed feedback.

[Android Apps and Games] daveydavesmith:
Really great work, much appreciated. Just to let you know the rotation doesnt appear to be working on samsung galaxy s running CM7. Video from from camera is rotated 90 degrees permanently and these settings don't have any affect.

Apart from that its super thanks
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Rotation and flipping works well for me (rearcam only, if that makes any difference). The result is just a little bit weird and incorrect for 270 degrees rotation. I just tried this to test the functionality, but please note that I don't need rotation because on my device everything is as it should be without any rotation applied.

On 90 degrees it has grey boxes on the sides, which is to be expected I think. It looks like this (screenshot taken from receiver on the desktop):

On 270 degrees however, it looks like this (screenshot taken from receiver on the desktop):

180 degrees rotation works correctly.

EDIT: Seems droidrx's implementation has the same problem. Maybe you can get the new sources from him if he fixes it. Look here and here.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
theos0o, while testing I realized that the "flip image" option is only for what you see yourself (the little preview of your own cam). The receiver doesn't see your video flipped. That's what the description of the option says too, so it's all good.

All other options affect what YOU see, and ALSO what the RECEIVER sees. So all other options have effect on your own preview, and on the actual output. From my testing, your own video preview is always 100% accurate and exactly the same as what the receiver sees. The "flip image" option is the only exception to this. Why not have the flip image affect the actual video output as well, to prevent any confusion and problems?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@barty22

I've fixed the 270 degrees a little bit (it's not perfect but still a lot better) and added a new option to flip both image sent and preview.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Nice! :D Thx!

So in these advanced features, is there any way to pull your phone contacts in the skype contacts.....PAIN in the ass having to look for contacts from my phone to call in skype.
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
@spectre85 From the Contacts screen you can search your phone's address book for Skype contacts although if you've synced your Skype contacts with your address book this is rendered redundant.

If you want to call regular phone numbers using your Skype credit I haven't found a way although, once you have dialled a number this way they are saved in your Skype contacts and synced with your address book.

I also get presented with the option, from the Android Contacts, of making any call via the phone's dialler or Skype.

Hi,

I've got a strange situation:

video calls were working at the beginning with theos0o's Skype_2.0.0.47

there I had the issue with my SGS (GINGERBREAD.XWJVB firmware 2.3.3) that front camera was rotating the video 90 degrees

I read in theos0o's post that the issue is solved with Skype_2.0.0.47_v03

So I uninstalled the old version and installed theos0o's Skype_2.0.0.47_v03

Now I the video calls are inactive again :-(

What did I do wrong?

Can you go into advanced settings, tap Number of cameras and post what it says?

video calls are inactive? what do you mean? you have to go to advanced settings and "force video calling", and possible some other settings to get everything working as you want.

My 2 camera are well detected and i can switch in live from the front to the back camera.

[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Flip image only works for the small preview that you see yourself, not for the "receiver". Next version, according to theos0o, will have an option to also flip the video for the "receiver".
