SGT WiFi (P1010) 2.3.6 video does'nt work

Hi, theos0o!

On your mod does not work video from my device. Natively Skype also does not enables video.

Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi (P1010) 2.3.6

In the past i used droidrx skype mod, but there are many bugs.

Setup "Use Preview Surface" enables video from front or back camera at droidrx skype mod.

Can you add this feature to wishlist?

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hey.

I can't add valid preview surface in the latest builds.

I had tried it once but it was too complicated.

Use v11 which has this option!
[Android Apps and Games] -=TheRam=-:
Thx, theos0o!

Video in build v11 realy work!

When signing in a message pops up and says "Please reinstall Skype." Two buttons. Pressing Install takes me yo uninstall screen and cancel closes Skype. ICS on CDMA Galaxy Nexus.

Amazing! I've been wanting this infinitely!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Your phone's CPU is not compatible with skype video library.

If you enable video-calls it will keep crashing/restarting.

Try wiping skype app data, uninstalling and re-installing

Need help in using the front camera

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for putting together this alternative. I have downloaded your most recent version (V14) and it works flawlessly for audio and incoming video.

However, it seems to think that I have a back facing camera, but I only have a front facing one.

Model: Coby Kyros 8127

CPU Type	Telechip Cortex A8

CPU Speed	1 GHz

Built-in front-facing camera and microphone

AndroidTM 2.3.

These are the advanced settings:

Number of Cameras: 1 (Camera Info: Android 2.3.3::CID: 0, FACING:BACK, ORIENTATION:0)

Force-enable video-calling : Checked

Force openGL: Checked

Avoid setFPS: Unchecked

What can I do to use my front facing camera? I am pretty good with tinkering with and editing system files. If there is any file that I can edit and make Skype recognize my front-facing camera, that would be great.

Great app! Works great on htc evo 4g with cm 7.2.

The ONLY thing is, and I have this same problem with regular skype on this phone is, if you are using skype for a voice call and turn off the display, the audio starts being jumpy and staticy. How do I avoid this and continue having a good call even when my evo's display is off?
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:

I tried this because of the infamous bluetooth problem skype has, and it works perfectly!:cool: I can now use my BT headset on Skype, just as well as normal phone calls.

They are not supported by this or official version
[Android Apps and Games] H0wdy:
Hello,

I have an evo 4g with CM7.2rc1. Your program works great.

My only issue is, when I allow the display to blank and go black(save battery), the audio becomes choppy in skype. Is there a way to avoid that?

New Skype version is out => 2.8.0.920 !

So, theos0o ... it's your turn to do your magic ... please.

EDIT: Maybe a good chance to test the "Check for updates" action in v14 to update to your new v15 ;-)

[Android Apps and Games] wamiduku:
At the Skype forum, I read that they still have a hard coded ringtone that's almost inaudible. After so long time, that's pathetic. I'll happily wait for theos0o's mod before I upgrade. Skype should hire him to fix their software, or at least pay him for his work with this mod.

Video Call not working

hi. my fone is Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos GT-B5512 http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/dual-sim-phone/GT-B5512HKAINU

my device has front camera and running 2.3.6. i dont get video calling from official skype app. so installed the latest version. when i choose force enable it keeps FC.

voice call works fine though. any work arounds ???
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
There is no workaround. You phone's CPU is a Broadcom BCM21553, which is only ARMv6 and doesn't support NEON instruction set, so it won't allow Skype video calls.
[Android Apps and Games] n1newbie:
thanx for the info. do u knw any other skype mod apk which offers video call functionality to ARMv6 phones?
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
I'm sorry, but that is not something you can achieve with a mod. Your phone's CPU doesn't support NEON and that can't be changed...
[Android Apps and Games] abhi.a3s:
is the green color screen fixed??

i get it while using front cam.
[Android Apps and Games] jegr6:
i think that is a ROM problem not skype. it seems to happen with some ICS roms, don't know what could be the problem

[Android Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
Battery is on the right, everything is blue there in ICS. But on the left everything is grey - your gmail, sms, calendar, download, market update icons are grey, aren't they? :) And when Skype isn't logged in and online, the icon is not filled, it's outlined, so is distinguishing.

That's not a big deal, everyone can replace the icon if it bothers much. So let it be green. ;)

Eagerly waiting for v15.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
My battery icon is GREEN :) HTC touch on the ICS maybe.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I will start working on v15 in the next 1-2 days, so a good bet about release date would be around Friday-Saturday.
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Patiently waiting for your next release, theos0o. :)
[Android Apps and Games] poolemit:
awesome.

the biggest issues w/ the official app for me are the annoying notification sounds (signin/signoff/IM received). the ability to turn these off would be great. second, launching the app automatically on startup. this worked on GB, but has not on ICS. i tried different startup manager-type apps, but they launch the app in the foreground, which is annoying. finally, the ability to change the ringtone...

i'm so frustrated with skype! thanks for your hard work in making this app usable.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] n1newbie:
hi theos0o, sry for my noobish request. any love for ARMv6 devices? is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
unfortunately no.

it's pretty much impossible for us to rebuild skype video library for ARMv6 devices, as we don't have the source code.
[Android Apps and Games] n1newbie:
hope they release the source code soon. thanx n keep up ur great work buddy :thumbup:

EDIT: on a side note, after canceling the call and leaving skype running in the background, i had to try to use my camera and it gave me an error message about not being able to use it, after closing skype it worked no problem, but it still force closed when exiting.
[Android Apps and Games] berkley:

[Android Apps and Games] DaRkMyk:
That is a Kernel issue. your current ROM might still be using unpatched/old kernel. Try to flash Speedmod.

Well, I'm using Glitch's Kernel... But in a few minutes I'm on Speedmod and tell you if something has changed... Thanks for the hint!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yes I think it's a kernel issue, because image of front-cam is flipped even in stock camera app here.
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkMyk:
Yup, that issue has been around for quite some time. I don't remember which Gingerbread rom it first appeared, but Speedmod kernel fixed it. I tested on Skype & Talk 1.3

Don't expect an answer untill tomorrow ;)

Skype 2.8.0.920 - Build v15 !

Skype 2.8.0.920 modded (build v15) !

Changes compared to original Skype:

• Exit button (kills app & service)

• Colorful notification bar status icons

• Minor fixes for vibration

• 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:

→ 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 (or sign-in/out vibration & sounds)

→ Vibration patterns picker!

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

Thanks for the new version :)

I have two problems with v15 that were not there with v14:

1) Video that I'm sending is of Low quality, even if I set it to High in settings (previous version had better quality on High then on Low).

2) If I rotate my phone to landscape my picture rotate. But after some time my screen flicker and I see myself upside down. On the other side I'm looking ok. If I rotate my phone and to one side and rotate back it flicker again and I'm looking ok to myself.

Does anybody else has similar problems?

Exactly the same here on my XperiaS.

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can you guys try the latest stock skype (from play store) and check if video quality is low again?

Wanna see if it's something I did.

edit:

Just tried both v15 and play store version.

Same video quality. Is it lower than the previous skype?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Takyon:
Official version does the same for me. But then again it does state not compatible on my phone, still lol. Not sure about video quality, but it also looks lower than previous official version.

The issue of it flipping my preview is really annoying though.

Sent from my XperiaS via subspace beacon.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can you capture and upload a log of a video-call until that flipping happens?

Here's the easiest way again.

For everyone who doesn't know how to get logs:

- Install catlog - logcat reader from Market.

- Go into skype app -> advanced settings -> enable verbose-logging

- Exit skype app (using exit button)

- Run catlog app and start recording/capturing

- Run skype app and try a video-call or whatever you want to show me (eg. crash)

- End whatever you were doing (eg. video-call)

- Go back into catlog app and stop capturing

- Upload file here.

hi theos0o,

i have a problem with new version of skype. my phone now is sgs2 with android 4.0.4. and there are two problems:

1. the flash toggle don't work - it say that there no a flash light on the phone.

2. i can't to set the little screen wherever i want. it just stay on the right down corner.

also new fiture - new ui of chat. you typing the message then you want to choose the smile - the keyboard is hide. when you choose the smile = you must press again to the field to get the keyboard and press ENTER. i don't know - maybe you can add the ENTER button?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hmmm..

We have to find a way to see which modes does your camera flash support.

Try Android System Info app, enable camera info in settings and refresh.

Then check camera flash modes.

But this app is a bit buggy, may not show correct/full data.

I can't waste my time on this.

That's ridiculous indeed. I'll see if I can fix it.

[Android Apps and Games] alex6999:
thanks, great apps, nice green sign in status bar, i like it... but on ICS its grey like stock Skype.

use it on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (v15) - grey sign in status bar

and on Verizon Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (v14) - green sign in status bar

and problem with Bluetooth

in first call Bluetooth automatically turned on and works very good.

but on second call it not working. I found the way how to become it works

i need to press menu and select Toggle BT Audio to turn it off during dial tones, than it turned on automatically when call answered.

if call already answered, i need to turn it off and on again. both phones affected. it not you bug, it Skype, can you please add automatic Bluetooth turn off after hung-up.

Another thing, no dial tones in Bluetooth, i can hear it if enable BT during it, but it will not work after call answered, turn off/on will be requred and i can sometimes heard background dialtones during all conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hmm, I'll look into it!

Well, my BT audio implementation is not perfect.

It's experimental and intented for users that can't get BT audio using Skype's toggle.

I can't fix it, as it causes other issues :(

Have you tried BT audio using Skype's toggle?

@kazantip1288

Are you sure that flash-torch does not work?

My code looks ok to me.. :confused:

What message do you get?

This one? "Current camera does not have a flash, or its flash does not support torch mode!"

You are trying to enable it when you are using the back camera, right?

that's right, i'm getting this message! and yes i'm using the back camera

!!!UPDATE!!! -- the FLASH toggle WORKING now! i've install the v14_3 then delete it and then install again the v15 and it works now! GREAT NEWS :)

so for now we all waiting for new v15 where you fix the chat and little windows with preview.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Hi Theos0o,

Thanx for your update! i quickly tried it out and founfd that the sending video from my HTC One-X to the PC is poor quality as previously reported, even switching to the Back camera did not improve it. Also as mentioned above the status bar signed in Icon is larger that the normal and not in Colour. I then installed v14 and found the video was back to the usual good condition and when switched to back camera it went to HQ. So appears a problem in v15 with the sending video quality.

P.S. I hope your exams are going well and you are achieving your Distinctions!!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yes, I hadn't replaced xhdpi icons (for your shiny new phone :D).

I did fix it.

I'll look into video quality asap.

No exams yet, just a mid-term exam, which didn't go really well, but I'll recover :p

Exams are starting end of May! :(
