its not perfect, but very good.

yes, i wrote, i tried Skype's BT toggle and it helps. only thing you need to do, turn off bluetooth during dialtones.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I can add an option that will turn BT audio off when the call is over.

Does that help?
[Android Apps and Games] alex6999:
yes, it helps. and turn option on by default, it will help other people
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Damn, can't fix video quality.

Lots of complains over at skype forum.

I think I should just release v16 now and wait for a newer base that fixes video? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Takyon:
Sounds like a plan mate. I noticed that the video quality was lower on official app too. At least you know it wasn't something you did mate.

Skype 2.8.0.920 modded (build v16) !

Skype 2.8.0.920 modded (build v16) !

Changelog:

~ (Video-calls) Small preview window is now movable

~ (Chat) Smiley button now won't hide your keyboard

~ (Icons) Fixed (colored) xhdpi status bar icons

~ (Advanced Settings) Now follows Skype styling :p

~ (Advanced Settings) Added 'Sign-in status' option

~ (Advanced Settings) Added 'Stop BT audio' option

~ Minor bug-fixes

Changes compared to original Skype:

• Exit button (kills app & service)

• Colorful notification bar status icons

• Minor fixes here and there (vibration, chat, video-calls)

• Speaker toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button)

• Bluetooth audio toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button), uses *my* code for BT Audio, so you can try it for mono headsets or headsets that don't work with Skype's original BT support

• Camera LED/flash support while in video-call (just press your phone's MENU button)

• Advanced Settings:

→ Sign-in status picker, allows you to pick your desired status (availability), which will be applied automatically just after logging-in.

→ Keep screen alive, disables proximity sensor for calls

→ Force-enable video-calling, for phones that can't get video-calling enabled.

*Video-calling needs compatible CPU (ARMv7). If your phone's CPU is not compatible, Skype will keep crashing/looping at login!*

→ Force enable camera rotation, will attempt to enable camera rotate option (under the camera selection popup)

→ Avoid setFPS, for some users that get black image in video-calls

→ Prefer full-screen incoming video, won't allow your back camera image to take the whole screen leaving the incoming image minimized

→ Force notification LED/BLN, for users that "Pulse notification light" option (in Skype original settings) doesn't actually enable notification LEDs or BLN!

→ Advanced camera settings (focus/scene/white balance/color effect)

→ Ringtone picker!

→ Notification sound picker!

→ Disable vibration entirely

→ Disable sign-in/out vibration and/or sounds

→ Notifications' vibration pattern picker!

→ Verbose logging, use it for debugging, when capturing logs​

Hi all. Since v15 (tried v16 too) when I start skype, I get 10+ recent messages as "unread". In history I obviously pressed "Mark all as read". But this happens on every Skype start. Its just me or anyone else has this issue?

Downgraded to v14, works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Nothing like that here, but it may be a bug of the new skype update. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] amokkatxda:
I must say I have not tried latest official/original app.
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Yes, I have experienced this issue in v15 too, but I think it is not theos0o's fault. The latest Skype update might be the culprit here.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Updated v16 post with another build with advanced settings reverted to black theme, as there were some gingerbread users that had some visual bugs/glitches
[Android Apps and Games] thermax04:
I loved the Green icon for online in v14, then I found it become black in v15, what about v16? I have gingerbread stock rom and I want the green online icon please:(

I wrote to you before during using v14 about huge battery consumption but got no reply, what is the situation with battery consumption with v16, since I leave the skype on most of the time
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Icons should be in color. Try v16.

As for the consumption, I can't do anything about it.

It's up to Skype's developers.
[Android Apps and Games] thermax04:
Installed v16, and still in black (pic attached)

​
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
That's weird.

I'll look into it for my next build, which will come when a new skype update is out.
[Android Apps and Games] thermax04:
it was working in v14, but turn to black in v15 & 16!!!:confused:

The icon is changing but all of them are in black , the only one change its color is offline status
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Had never experienced such an issue. I wonder if it could be related to the theme (if any) you might be using?

Just my 2 cents...
[Android Apps and Games] thermax04:
Iam using the same theme since v14
[Android Apps and Games] alex6999:
thanks, now(v16) icon on ICS green.

but... it dirty-green color and nice bright green in drop down status menu.

many people complaining galaxy nexus(or maybe ICS) status bar icon too small, but now i see it dirting colors too.
[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
Hi theos0o,

On old versions was a feature - when you double clicking on little window - it switching to big and the window that was big become a little, they are swapping. Can you fix it in next v17?

And about moveable little window:

first when you have a video call the little window is on the down right side in portrait and landscape mode, but when you trying to move it to left up side in portrait mode and to the down left side in landscape mode -- it stay there while the video quality is changed, then it come to his "first" place. Maybe you can change it position to that I wrote near the front camera. Big thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
ICS dims (lowers the brightness) the icons in status bar, that's why.

I can't change that!

I don't know, maybe.

That's just a detail, I won't bother with that.

It's easier for you to drag it again, than me spending hours to rewrite & code things.

Hello guys

Galaxy S2, GB 2.3.6 - Skype built 16

I seem to have a problem in the setting section. For example, the SOUND

setting. Whenever I open it, it looks fine, but the moment I scroll it, it

revers color from white to black and appear as on the attachement below.

I tried to clean data, remove and reinstall... Each time same thing.

Then settings like CAMERA front/back, just like the attachment.

Anyone else face this issue ?

Microphone-problem

I have the problem with your a also also the original verisons that my microphone is always turning of after a time when I turn on the cam or when I do something else on my tablet. Sometimes it also happens when I just answered the call. After pausing the call it works again for some moments, but then it happens again. Can you help me with that, please? Normally this doesn't happen if I do only voice call ( sometimes it does ). Only if I do something else on my tablet, then it always happens after some minutes. Otherwise the video call is working fine.

That's my tablet. I can't post a link. ( I am new)

another five cents.

1. app didnot startup on verizon galaxy nexus CDMA, stock ROM non-rooted.

this phone carry ICS 4.0.2 maybe its a problem.

2. also, every time i start it, it show me last read messages as unread. its annoy when same old messages popup every skype start.

checked on 3 verizon galaxy nexus phone. factory reset didnot help

problem 2 may be an original skype problem with ICS, i didnot check it, but autostartup in advanced options.

And absolutly no problems with my galaxy note with GB

Thanks!!!

It has been said before: that is impossible. Your phone's CPU doesn't support NEON instruction set, so you can't enable video calls.

Samsung Galaxy Ace skype/Bluetooth issue

Hi guys, I have purchased just 2 days ago a Samsung Galaxy Ace, I replaced my old

Samsung GT S3370 which has died.

It was used to make calls through my bluetooth headphones (Plantronics voyager 520) without any problem.

Sadly I do hear people talking (just a sec after the call is answered) but they can't hear my voice (as if skype doesn't recognize my bluetooth mic) they hear a weird noise instead.

Can anybody help me through this?

I am using skype Skype 2.8.0.920 (v16) by theos0o (Advanced Settings with no theme, recommended for Gingerbread) but my OS is Froyo+

P.S.: Do you happen to know whether it is possible to make multiconference audio calls through skype, I could do that with my old GT S3370.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sublime1184:
Great modificiation app! I have one suggestion though if you can add it, not even sure if it is possible. I have two skype accounts: one for work and one for personal use. It's an inconvience to type each name when switching accounts. I'd like to suggest being able to choose the name from a drop-down list rather than typing them out each time. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Modded notification icon complaint :)

Please look at notification icons on these two screenshots. (2 × 330 KB)

Original Skype icon is smooth and nice. But modified green one is bad-quality. And it doesn't fit ICS style in general. My opinion is that original icon is perfect and there is no sense in replacing it with anything. Or if so, it should be better quality on xhdpi layout.

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You can replace the icons by yourself.

Just open the apk using winrar, go to folder res/drawable-xhdpi-v11 and drag 'n drop the original files from the original apk.

Then sign the apk using APK manager or something.

Crackling speaker sound

Thanks Theos0o and all other forum supporters!

This version is the first actual version of Skype which is not freezing the screen while starting a call on my German Toshiba Thrive/AT100 running on the actual stock Android 3.1. (3.2 is still not available for some European countries).

As at older stock Skype versions which I tried before there is a crackling speaker sound with the internal speakers or a headset. If I use the included Voice Recorder the sound is perfectly clear.

Does anyone know if I can do something about it?

I turned on and off various Sound improvement and SRS settings at the Android sound menu but can not get rid off the crackling sound?

Already thanks for any help.
