I hope you're not changing resolution while in-call. :p

You need to make a new call for the changes to take effect.

Did you try "Force 320x240"?

If you did everything correctly, a logcat would help :D

Yes.

Everything's alright here.

Can't be due to the changes I made.. ;)

Wipe skype app data using Titanium backup, then re-install.

Uninstall any other skype instance first.
[Android Apps and Games] Asnerd:
theos0o, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] polikarp:
Thanks!!.

It works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Yeas:
Works amazing thank you.

Actually even better than my gtalk video chat sometimes =)

You're running Android 2.3.3

CID:0, Facing:back, Rotation: 90

CID:1, Facing: front, Rotation: 0

This is what i get when i press the Number of cameras: 2 in the Advanced menu. I still can't see my video feeds properly. They still are like i told you about yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Don't really know what's wrong.

Try the fix I gave you.
[Android Apps and Games] viteza:
Here are the steps of what I've done so far:

1. Deleted all Skype data (titanium way)

2. Uninstalled Skype

3. Flashed the camera zip:http://www.darkyrom.com/apk/JVH_Stock_Camera.zip

4. Installed the Skype provided by you

And the result is:

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Well that's definitely the issue with Darky 10.1 + Front-cam.

This zip should be able to fix it, ask in darky's topic.. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] viteza:
will keep you posted.

Can't run it on Evo 4G with CM7. Can sign in and make calls but the camera's don't work and I can't see video.
[Android Apps and Games] zyxeu:
Works on SGS2 i9100 and VillainRom V1.4 KF2.

Thanks.

Anyone with a device with no front-cam..

What's happening when you run the app?
[Android Apps and Games] acomiskey:
Installed fine on my droid x....though I have no contacts to try video. Tried video to echo service and it doesn't do anything when I press the button.
[Android Apps and Games] wintrxtrem:
Kind of works on my Evo 4G running CM7.1 RC1 with SZ 2.2.1. I can see the video from my computer, but neither of the Evo cameras will pick up any video. I installed the latest version in the OP.

Anyone with an Evo try the earlier version?
[Android Apps and Games] hausmart:
Hi there. It says file not available for download. Or do I have to have rooted SGS2 or will it perhaps work on normal device. Thanx for answer. I am new to these things.
[Android Apps and Games] Niviac:
I actually tried the earlier version and was able to produce the same results as you. When I tried the new version I get double black screens.

Evo 4G on CM7
[Android Apps and Games] Mazda:
I've tried all three versions that are floating around here at XDA and neither one can get the cameras to work........I'm able to sign in and call someone via video chat but I get the same thing dude!

I guess there's something wrong with our camera libs or something like that....
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Ey HTC Evo guys..

Wait 5 minutes, I'll make another build for you, but I doubt it'll get any better.. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] GwynBleidd:
Thanks for this effort, theos0o!

SGS 2.2.1 still shows video call buttons on newer build.

Asus Transformer 3.1 crashes on sign in, any ideas how to make it work on Honeycomb/Transformer?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Does official app work fine on 3.x?
[Android Apps and Games] Tyxerakias:
It works flawlessly on the SGS. THANK YOU.
[Android Apps and Games] GwynBleidd:
Yep, clearly no video call option, but it works fine (even though it isn't visible in the Market).
[Android Apps and Games] florox:

It work!

U R the best!

I will donate!
[Android Apps and Games] formula84:
Works fine for me... on EF02 leak. Tested to a win7 lappy, i can make and receive video no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Niviac:
Much appreciated, what you're doing is way over my head, so I am grateful to anyone who is putting in effort to get this working ubiquitously.
[Android Apps and Games] zevim2005:
does thos worn in froyo!?
[Android Apps and Games] Dip-Stick:
Hmm, i can't seem to get it working with any of the released 20047 singed versions on my SGS II. It worked perfectly (although landscaped) with the 20045, but wheniever i try to start a videocall to any of my contact with the 20047, it shows my ugly mug with "Video is starting" in the top banner thingy, and does not start "dialing" the contact.

I've tried the settings force resolution and call rotation and such, but no setting seems to do the trick.

My SGS II is unrooted, never has been either and is currently runnin stock kernel KF3 XEN.

The "Advanced settings" thingy in skype tells me this:

number of cameras : 2

Android 2.3.3

CID : 0, Facing: Back, Rotation : 90

CID : 1, Facing: Front, Rotation : 270

What to do :)

(Not much of a forum poster, but getting this to work is rather interesting :P )
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Again, it should be working.

Try uninstalling the app, then reinstall it.

In advanced settings the only thing you should need is "Force-enable video-calling".

Everything else default.

Make sure the skype client on the other side is updated.
[Android Apps and Games] tatnai:
thanks for the patch. I'm testing on my HTC EVO 3D.

front cam: works great when set to force 320x240

rear cam: works when set to force 320x340. zoom level is about same as front camera, which is I think the best we'll get due to skype settings.

only problem I'm having is a little odd, but here goes. all video on the phone (receiving and outgoing) resets at about 10 seconds or so, it seems. this is fixed in the outgoing front cam by using force 320x240 (you can still see a slight amount of zoom on the E3D video feed that occurs at about 10 seconds into the convo, but small enough that it is ignorable). however, something is also resetting my received video and causing it to zoom in. the amount of zoom seems relative to the resolution of the camera of the person I'm chatting with, for example:

E3D<>macbook: after about 10sec, the macbook video feed zooms in to about 1/8 of the original image, zooming on the upper left hand corner. this is also seen on the macbook side of things, i.e. they begin seeing their video zoomed in, the same way i'm seeing it.

E3D<>desktop (lower res camera): the same shift in video occurs with the desktop video feed at around 10sec, however the desktop camera is lower resolution, so just a very slight (almost imperceptible) zoom occurs and it does not affect the convo.

interestingly, toggling the macbook video feed off and then on returns it to normal zoomed out video, however after another 10-12 seconds, it does the same thing and my macbook video is zoomed all the way in (both as seen on my E3D and on the macbook). i noticed the same thing with my E3D video, before I found the right setting for resolution, I would be fine for the first 10 secs then it would freeze or go black until I used the force 320x240. video chatting between my desktop and my macbook this problem does not exist - can chat for minutes on end with no zoom at all. there is something in the hacked mobile version causing this.

all computers are running the latest version of skype. I'm running the latest version posted on here for my E3D (20047).

you guys have done awesome work getting this as far as it is, hats off to you. don't know if you will be able to fix this issue, I hope so though. good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] Dip-Stick:
Unfortunately, i've tried reinstalling it many times over now, also restarting my SGS II after installing skype, but to no avail.

Just removed and installed it again, set the force-enable vido-calling check, restarted the phone, and still it remains on "video is starting". If i restart skype after that, i see the videocall in recent activities with the timers on zero.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Ok, thanks for the feedback guys but I need logs along with it.. :p

So please, upload your logcat when reproducing those issues so I can take a look.. :)

@tatnai, got an idea for your issue, a logcat would help a lot
[Android Apps and Games] tatnai:
Logcat. After it happens the first time, I toggled the MacBook video and let it happen again. Ended conversation 6 seconds after it happened the second time.

Thanks so much for your work on this and your quick reply. you are awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] Dip-Stick:
Alright, disregard my previous posts, i just tested it again, and apperantly it does work, all of the 3 contacts i tried it with just werent responding :D

But the reason i thought it wasnt "dialing" is because i heard no sound at all when it was contacting them. No ring-back tone i'm used to with the pc skype and the 20045 version, is there a setting i missed? :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@tatnai

Damn, can't see anything weird in your log.. :(

Have you tried setting front-cam resolution to another one (not forcing - pick one that's as close as possible to 320x240), even if it's zoomed, just to check if it's still happening?

Looks like some incompatibility between mobile and desktop client or something.
[Android Apps and Games] Chief_Death:
but it is annoying if I want to see the one I am speaking to I'll have to flip my head 90 degrees.. and on other phones such as Iphone (ex. only lol) it is portrait and it is the appropriate way to do any suggestions?

Can't we have an option for both?
[Android Apps and Games] usman3206:
Great! i tried it on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet running Honeycomb 3.0.1 and it installed flawlessly and showing all the items and call to echo was ok and when i flip it even adjusts to portrait mode as well. I will test video calling etc and then i will report again.

Thanks buddy, great one
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Again, wtf! :p

There's no need to flip your head, you just hold it landscape like this:

http://static.stuff-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/skype-android-video-chat-0107.jpg :confused:

I don't think it'll work on Honeycomb.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] tatnai:
tried regular 320x240 for front camera, my head gets big, incoming macbook still zooms. tried "let skype decide" for both front and rear facing cameras, same thing happens to macbook video, and my e3d video freezes at 10seconds (this is what happens with everything default). :confused:

well, the current version is still much better than having my e3d outgoing video freeze constantly. still hope there is a fix, guess i'll be making my wife switch to chatting with me on the desktop for now. thanks for trying, i'll keep my eyes on the thread for a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I'll try reproducing your issue by changing the code but it won't be easy.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] Jaqb:
theos0o your last built works almost perfect for me on my Desire HD. There is one little thing....can you force (or let people choose) the camera at startup (back or front). I think on the phone with one camera the default should be back-camera. Now it is set front-cam so I need to switch it every time to back camera (because the screen is mirror in the front-cam mode)
[Android Apps and Games] socalwrx:
haha no im not changing res during call. tried force 320x240. tried a higher res.. should i just go through all of them hope to get lucky?

also did a log cat and a quick glance shows "video controller does not support large surfaces" .. maybe due to the omap processor?
[Android Apps and Games] tatnai:
interestingly, I have perfect function of front, back, and incoming cameras with droidrx's build com.skype.raider-2cam-def-noautorun.apk.

its a tough job getting one build to work for everyone. I guess every phone is picky. keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] usman3206:
For me on acer iconia tablet, it detects 2 cameras but video calling doesn't work; when i enable force video through advanced settings then the program simply crashes while signing in; without giving any warning and i had to uninstall and reinstall cause there was no way to disable force video from advanced settings. any suggestions???
[Android Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I have an MT4G running Virtuous Unity Rom with sense 3.0.

Skype works like a miracle on this this except that audio never gets loud enough on the speaker.

I use headphones.

Battery drain is kind of a joke, but I'm not here to complain.

I was wondering about Google talk app showing 90degrees counter clockwise. I used the talk1.3.apk from the market. Is this a conflict with Skype, or is it a separate issue?

I just want to know where to dig.

Thank you for fixing this Skype version to work on my phone. My family is ecstatic to see me in my giant headphones walking around town. It really is a miracle. And a donation is coming soon.

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yes, try every resolution.

That message in your log is not anything special, appears on most (or all) devices.

I need a bigger log! That's just a part of it :p

Incompatible CPU, won't work.

Sorry. :(

Has to be a separate issue! :)

Extract it on your PC, then copy it to your phone? :confused:

edit:

Sure, I'll check this out, but I think it should not be mirrored.

Is it still mirrored even when the call is answered?

edit: Tried to trace and solve this, but I'm not able to patch it properly. Sorry!

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

I'll be working on the new release these days.

Will try to make focus/other settings accessible when in-call, so you change on the fly.

Wish I had a working BT headset to try and get BT audio working.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] usman3206:

No matter how I try to rotate both SGS and iPhone, I can't get it right on both phone. One phone has to be 90 degree.

[Android Apps and Games] harrispo:
I have a problem using it with my SGS2. The mic doesn't work so noone can hear me :(
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
latest build?

if yes, what (audio) settings are u using?

also make sure the skype client on the other side is fully updated
[Android Apps and Games] harrispo:
What do you mean by the audio settings bit?

As for the Skype client, does it make a difference that I called someone who was on his laptop?

I'm using the program in the download link in your first post...
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Yes and yes. Is that what's causing it. Other applications sync without starting up.
[Android Apps and Games] Nyssa1104:
Make sure your contacts are using the newest build on the computer or fone.

Check your audio settings and make sure your mic is is selected and enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] NasrulBond:
i'm on stock xxjvq right now and i tried skype with 3g connection but fail to sign in. is this version suppose to support wifi video calling only?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Try this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15550077&postcount=531

Yes, that seems to be the cause.

Simply disable Skype contacts' sync through Skype options.

Haven't really tried it on 3G, but I think it should work.. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] NasrulBond:
oh i see. hrmmm, i still cant get through the sign in screen. but i do see some youtube videos that the video calls working, but most of them use wifi. anyway, i'm really amazed by ur work. :)

OK, syncing Skype contacts disabled via droid's sync menu.

@theos0o

Did you release the version with ring tone chooser option yet?

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No, is it so important for you? :p
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Do not download attached file!

Check the first post for the latest build
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Of course your work is that important to me as it is to a lot of others as well! Thanx for your continued developement of this........Thanx button pressed.

EDIT: Excellent just installed it and all working good.....especially the select your ring tone!! thanx once again.

What about an option to keep the screen alive when only doing an audio call? I noted with the original SKYPE release that for audio calls it gets choppy sound once the phone screen goes off (i.e. when you place the phone against the ear and the proximity sensor switched off the screen). with your improved version of skypes app the screen stays on for video calls but when in audio only call the proximity sensor switches in and turns off the screen. A menu option to "keep screen alive during audio calls" would be great and prevent any issues with this.

Oh and one other point, I purchased my old mum a Asus SKYPE video phone so that i could talk and see her from overseas. it works very well when calling from a PC to her but when i try this app it does not allow the video to work....is there some setting or message that the mobile SKYPE version puts out to the other caller telling it not to allow Video or something like that? is it possible to make the mobile app send out that it is just another PC making the call?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yes, this is possible.

edit: Done :)

Will be in next build. Patience please.. :p

Don't know if there's something "saying" it's mobile skype calling.

I don't really think I can fix that.

Maybe it's implemented deep in skype libraries, which we can't really touch.
[Android Apps and Games] greg330:
wow respect ; fast reaction .... what can i say but .... bravo mate.
[Android Apps and Games] spyme:
It blocked my skype

I uninstalled the official version of Skype.

I tried to install your version which failed because "there is no enough space" which is not true.

OK I tried to install again my official version but it is not possible anymore. Not enough space. I am getting desperate :(. I cant have skype anymore.

Reboot does not help

Thanks for update, and for finally adding build nbr :-)

I just tested build v01, changed to a custom ringtone, everything else set to default. Video calls work fine as before, and custom ringtone works fine. A great update!

Hi theos0o,

Last build I used was this one (rear-only build). Everything worked perfectly!

Just decided to check the progress you made and installed the latest v0.1.

But, with this one my phone's video doesn't work, it's just black. It's black on my phone, and the Skype desktop client keeps showing a loading icon instead of my phone's video. Regardless of choosing front cam or back cam in the Skype (phone) options.

I tried resolution "let skype decide" and "force 320x240", both have the same result.

The weird thing is, in the video settings, it says "Number of cameras: 2", while my phone has only one rear camera. When I click on it, it says "You're running Android 2.3.4 - CID:0, FACING:BACK, ROTATION:90 - CID:1, FACING:FRONT, ROTATION:270".

I'm indeed running Android 2.3.4, on a HTC HD2.

EDIT: added logcat

@theos0o

Brilliant work man, i'm absolutely amazed. Kinda proof they are morons over there at Skype.com. This morning i installed the official version and installation failed. Got permanent forced closes with my market app from that moment. Lots of problems with Skype for Ubuntu either. It's stuck on beta for ages and it seems they'll stay forever unable to fix their problems with pulse audio. lol
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Done..

@barty22

LOL @ cameras number.

Something must be wrong with those ROMs! :p

Anyway, I will try to fix it and add an option for you.
