Scratch that, the one I keep trying to use will work for a bit them force me to install. Rinse and repeat. I'll just stick to the previous build I have that actually works, with the occasional crash and no sound coming from my microphone on video call. Oh well.

I installed the skype that is available in the market on my kyros 7024 (froyo) and it worked only the audio call, no video call available.

I installed the version that you put here in this thread and now they show the video icons, but it is not possible to make a videocall, everytime I try it crashes and it shows the message: "Sorry! The application skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

The audio call works fine with this version too, don't get any errors, just with video.

For those failing to logon skype I suggest you try this method:

**MUST HAVE ROOT ACCESS**

DISCLAIMER

I/We take no responsibility if you mess up your tablet.

Open: Root Explorer (or similar app file manager with root access)

Browse to: /system

Open/Edit file: build.prop

Find this line: ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1 (found towards the end of the file)

Change to: ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

Save & Exit the file

Reboot your tablet

Skype should no load properly and allow you to log in.

I have tested this myself and found the Audio and Text chat work.

It still DOES NOT send nor receive video.

Now we just have to wait for an officially update/fix from Skype that will hopefully enable Video as well.

Skype only began to work for me after I followed the instructions above (even the audio call only version), found it in another forum but I can't post links here...

[Android Apps and Games] thaidroid:
make sure you uninstall original skype first.
[Android Apps and Games] james1375:
It's working on I9100 but the front camera has to be held in landscape (both front and rear). If I hold the phone in portrait orientation, the video is rotated by 90 deg. Is this how it's supposed to be?
[Android Apps and Games] drurb:
Cheers for that

Works great on my SGS with 2.3.4
[Android Apps and Games] mveksler:
Works good on Vibrant 2.3.4.

However on EEE Pad 3.1 it fails to login.

Galaxy S not working

I put the file on my Galaxy S with 2.2.1. When I press to make video call, do nothing, when the other part make video call to me the skype do error and close.

Maybe is not good with android 2.2.1. There is no original upgrade from 2.2.1 when I am trying to.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
More info please.

On which phone and what's the problem?

@lilagusmao

hmm, will check it
[Android Apps and Games] neilrl79:
yeah, i guess that info would have been helpful.... i have a DROID3 and was very excited to have skype with video but when i try it, it seems like it's trying to go to video then it kicks over to the other persons profile pic and they see my profile pic on their end.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Are you sure you're running my build?

Had to ask.. :p

Tell the other side to update their skype client, then try again :)
[Android Apps and Games] neilrl79:
That did the trick! You are awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] socalwrx:
theos0o your build that works on the droid 3 is working perfectly! thanks for your hard work :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lumixz:
Thanks a lot theos0o, your fix is working on my Motorola XT860 (The 4G Droid 3) with no problems so far. Wish I had some money in my paypal so I could donate to you :P

Hey,

Ver 08 worked excellent for me !

BUT: in ver 09 when i click to force video in the advanced settings the skype crash...

I tried to clear all the date and wipe with titanum and uninstall before install...

Please try to fix it (I most feature I want is the the option to shutdown and start the torch in call...)

Thanks in advance.

My phone is:

Htc Desire

2.3.3 with sense

(kernel: 2.6.35.10-g3f43272

V06 by -snq)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Weird..

Can you upload a log?

If you don't know how:

Get "catlog - logcat reader" from the market, open it and start recording, open skype v09 and try to reproduce the crash, then stop log recording and upload the file.
[Android Apps and Games] danstr:
here is my log...

if you need more log tell me... :)

I rar it because it was more than 87 Kb (the limit in the forum.._)

maybe the seccond file will be more clear...

Tanks for the fix! +10
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
OK, it is what I thought.

I've fixed it, come back later for v10!
[Android Apps and Games] danstr:
Thanks!!

I am grateful for your help! :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:

swapping pictures

Is there any way to have a setting to swap the two pictures? On my heropad/dropad the incoming picture is always in the small box. I can switch it by double tapping it but a setting would be nice.

Thanks

Jeannette
[Android Apps and Games] JordanElliott:
Thx bro. Great work. Keep it up
[Android Apps and Games] Goodm7sn:
i would love to have that , on my desire HD , whenever i answer a video call i get my image on the big screen while the other party on the small box (where there ill have to double click to swap) , not a big deal really , but its quite annoying over time ;)

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Terabass:
fail

G2x = fail. For both developers and versions. Nothing works so far.

G2x 2.3: After launching the app and doing "force start" on video-calling and restarting app, the app crashes on restart and further start attempts. Have to uninstall at that point.

The mega upload links are worthless. Does not download to G2x/android but says "failed" after getting waiting for 1 min to download.

Get a cheap server and post the file on the server. MegaUpload is misery for Android. I'm gonna call Kimble (Kim Schmitz) and tell him personally his MegaUpload sucks for Android.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Try reading a couple of pages back, theseo0o already told us how to swap the pictures during a call!

Sent with Desire
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You have been told many times.

It will never work on Tegra, unless Skype releases a new version of their video libraries supporting it.

We can't fix this, it's too hard to modify binaries, especially for ARM processors.

What?

I upload my files here as attachments and on MULTIupload, which supports many other hosts other than MegaUpload.

That will not change, as in fact, there are no problems.

@angusc

They know it, but they want it to be like this by default.

Maybe they're too bored to double tap once per call.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:
Hi OP,

V09 also broke the "Colorful status icons at notifications bar" for someone in my house when changing from WiFi to H?, the girlfriend prefers a shiney green icon to the new tweeks? lol so she wont budge from V08 lol

[Android Apps and Games] everlethal:
Hi awesome work, thanks

I have not so big problem, but want ask.

I can't sync skype photos with my phone (sgs), or not all of them.

Is there anything that i can do?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Didn't touch the icons, ever! :confused:

Don't really know.

I don't use Skype, just mod it.. :eek: :D
[Android Apps and Games] ofmb:
Great mod - confirmed working on motorola defy cm..!

But... Skype detects the mod, forces to update, and shuts down.

String is "please update... install cancel"

maybe only chance tag=skypemod?

Thanks, great job!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
What?

I don't understand what you mean. :confused:

edit: Screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Well aware of that double click trick but we have to do that on every call. A setting if it was possible would make this perfect.

J.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Download it on your pc, then unrar/zip it on your pc and copy the apk to the phone.

OR, use Opera Mobile browser on android (it works the best with downloading from all these filesharing websites; Dolphin or stock browsers don't work). And the best unzip/unrar software for Android is Androzip, it unzips/unrars everything i have ever thrown at it, including the zip/rar that theos0o makes for his skype mod.
[Android Apps and Games] JordanElliott:
edit: it was something with my phone
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Yea, for me, only sometimes, skype gives me a please "reinstall skype" message, but i can always cancel it or close the application and then continue again. It's probably something similar to the please update message you are getting. I assume that skype sometimes notices that this is not the original skype, and gives us a message like that. Don't know if there is such a thing as a tag like that with which theos0o's mod identifies itself as a mod?

edit; or are you saying that you are trying to update an older theos0o mod skype version to the most recent market version?
[Android Apps and Games] S.V.I:
V.10 works perfectly on Virtuous 3.1 with no errors, no reinstall prompt. Did not have to tweak anything in the extra settings menu.

I wish it would compensate for low light levels, but that'sprobably something either with the camera.

Also, it takes a while to see who is online, but eventually they all show up.

I am really happy with your mod. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] rolyatidok:
Video works on my droid 3, which is awesome! So, Thanks for that and props on the effort. However, for some reason I can't see the online status of my contacts anymore. They all show as offline, but i can call them if I know they're on. Has this been noticed by anyone else before? Maybe it's a skype issue? Maybe I'm hallucinating?

Edit: I didn't see the post before mine, because I'm an idiot. I guess others have seen this too.

Wildfire S Restarting Skype after i force cam Ceaselessly

Won't work, not supported CPU.
[Android Apps and Games] jiminee:
Well done theos0o!

I installed this primarily because I wanted an Exit feature. But the coloured status icons are pretty too!

Two feature suggestions that would make it perfect for me:

1. Be able to open the app when no internet connection is available. I like to review IMs offline. Currently it refuses to launch without a connection. This almost makes me want to return to the stock app.

2. Enable the close app/kill app feature to be compatible with Tasker. It's a very powerful task manger that used to be able to start/close Skype depending on the availability of an internet connection.

I don't know if they're even possible!

My tuppence worth :)

Great effort nonetheless!!

Xperia Mini Pro, Android 2.3 (not rooted)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Why go back to the stock app?

Does the stock app work with no internet connection?

I doubt it.

Skype would start automatically on any connectivity change, I've removed that, because most users don't want it to start on its own.

[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

Not so. I just used the Dolphin browser to download v8, then v10. Worked like a charm over my 4g wifi connection. Late to the party and started reading at page 103 on my PC, but used my Vibrant to download directly to phone bypassing the troublesome v9.:)
[Android Apps and Games] jiminee:
No, your right actually the stock app refuses to launch also, don't know how I missed that!

It would be handy to be able to launch Skype without a connection, and then it sits waiting for the connection to be made, saves having to remember to launch it when there is a connection. Maybe that's not possible to modify, as it's part of the function?

I agree, I wouldn't want it to start on its own, but that wasn't what I meant...

I'm looking for the ability to close Skype, by another app. There's a few comments earlier in the thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15376251#post15376251

Apparently something changed in recent Skype versions that stopped it responding to "Stop Skype" and "Skype Terminator" type of apps.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I don't know if it's possible.

edit: To be honest, it sounds impossible.

I know what you mean.

I will get tasker and see what I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] jiminee:
Regarding the first point, I assume that its something to do with the signing in authentification process. Because you can sign, then kill the connection, and remain signed in (see contact list and recent IMs etc, while offline). But you cant acheive that 'signed in' state without a connection to begin with. If that signed in 'authenticated' state could be cached between app launches, then the refusing to launch when no connection exists could be circumvented, no?

Just thinking outside the box, of which I don't know the contents :-)

GREAT JOB MODDING SKYPE!

Just one question theos0o, right now I'm experiencing some dificulties to get online contacts, and wanted to know if you may recall any other issue like this, or it could be just a temporal Skype network problem?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There have been many complaints about this, but I haven't really traced what's causing it.

Try exiting skype and signing-in again, or if you can, do not use the exit button.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
The contacts that sometimes do not appear problem is a longtime skype issue. Nothing related to the android app or this mod. It has been an issue with skype for years, and is not platform related afaik. Maybe something with their servers, or their technology/software. Signing in/out (both parties) usually helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidrx:
Looks like the skypekit shipped with the latest version is less stable than the previous versions. I've also seen several times that the skypekit dies which I don't know why. Even the market version has that issues.

I haven't tried it yet (it just came to my mind several hours ago) but what if you use the skypekit files from the old version to replace the files in the latest version? I'm not sure if it works but maybe you can try.
[Android Apps and Games] WABONI:
CONFIRMED, It's a Skype issue. Now I got some of my contacts online.

I also was able to try video call, both cams were detected on Droid 3.

Trouble w/ Inc2

Hello...thanks for all the posts, they have been quite helpful, but i am still having a problem with my Inc2 getting the vid calling to work.

As said, I have an Inc2 with gingerbread that was updated in July 2011. I have downloaded the latest version of the apk and installed it. The problem is I only have audio and no video at all. I have read a lot of the posts, changed recommended settings to see if that works, and installed and reinstalled several times, but nothing seems to make the video work.

Are there any other people having trouble on the Inc 2, or is it just me and huge pilot error (this is a possibility I admit)? Are there any suggestions that may be able to help me...thanks in advance. I appreciate the help.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Do you get incoming video or both your video and incoming are not working?

Which (advanced) settings have you tried?

Autofocus is not working on SGS2

I've been trying the auto focus option with the SGS2. Unfortunatly this doesn't work. If I put the focus mode on MACRO, then the backcamera is perfectly sharp on very neerby objects. If I put it on any other mode, then the faraway objects are sharp. So if you like to show somebody some text, then you first have to disconnect the call, change over to MACRO and then recall. Is there a way to make this easier?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
edit: Basically there should be an option "continuous-video" for continuous video focus.

On the fly changes of those parameters may be implemented later ;)

Hi there...i get no video on either side, my phone or the pc account i am testing it with, neither incoming or outgoing video.

As far as advanced setting that I have tried....i have toggled back and forth in different combos:

1. force anable vid-calling

2. avoid setFPS

3. use valid preview surface

4. use fixed camera id's (i have tried this bc it doesnt even let me switch cams...always shows pointing to back camera icon

front and back cam setting...when i try to switch to front cam the screen blinks and goes right back to rear icon.)

5. force 320x240 resolution

i read the the notes in the thread that has the file download info and those were the setting it suggested should be tried.

any suggestions? thanks very much in advance for the help.
