Thanks man!!! I'll be upgrading my Samsung Galaxy tab P1010 to gingerbread next week and your skype mod will be the first app to be installed. I'm really happy right now. thanks again!!!!!

btw, I'm a long time user of v11 on my mytouch 4g. I'll let you know if v13 also fixes green screen on Samsung Galaxy i9003. :D :D :D
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
I have galaxy s plus and i have rotated video from front camera upside down...can you fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Don't you get the option to rotate camera?

That option shows up in the camera selection popup on my SGS i9000.
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
During skype video call??
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Hi theos0s,

Nice to see you back around...... Thanx for this update but on my desire i don't get the video option. In advanced settings it detects my back camera but in contacts none show up with the little video camera. Did i miss a setting to force camera some where?

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yep!

Hello mate!

Hmmm, I gotta get that back it seems.

I'll take a look tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
I cant rotate during video call :-(
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
The button doesn't work or there's no button at all?

If there's no button at all, I'll try to find a way to force it on all devices.
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
I dont see that button....btw i have disabledvibration alert and skype its still vibrating after incoming message
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You mean you've enabled "Disable vibration entirely" and it keeps vibrating?

Works quite ok here :p
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
Yes...maybe after restart it will works..but i need help with that rotated video :-( skype will fix that in next ten years...i think :-\

Btw samsung galaxy s plus has codename GT-I9001.enable please video rotation for this type of devices first.thank you
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I'll check that too, tomorrow!
[Android Apps and Games] klm31019:
Can you put it as an APK on the downloadservers? now it's telling that it is a RAR file. And then I can't direct download it on the SGS2.

Is autostarting also an option in this new version?

I've tried the startup manager from the earlier post. Skype is indeed in the startlist, but doesn't start. Do you put it in tje custom list, then it starts, but in the foregroud with the full gui. So not a nice option.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You can, using another browser, or if you get "Download all files" from Market. ;)

I will upload an APK later.

No, not yet.

This will take some time to figure out if it's possible to get it back.
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
image not centered

hi theos0o! your mod works! I just have to enable 'valid preview'. Here are my findings:

-I tried ver11 (this is what I have been using in my MT4G) but the video is not centered. Do you think you can implement a 'crop' function like droidrx's mod? or better yet, have it displayed properly.

-only the front camera is detected even if I check the option in 'advanced settings'. Back camera is still not shown in the menu while doing a call. it only say back, or no video.

I've attached a log and screenshot. :)

Again, thank you so much for this!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hey!

Can you be more specific?

On which device?

v13 doesn't work correctly? What's the problem?

Unfortunately v11 is outdated and I won't continue support on these builds.

I'll try to add stuff on the latest builds, but it won't be too easy as skype video code has changed a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] cedetek:
Latest ver. does not work perfectly on my device (HTC Desire) Bug is, I cant see next side video, just I can see my video on the screen. (sorry for my English)
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
it's Samsung galaxy tab P1010. I just got it updated to GB today. I forgot to mention that the reason I'm using v11 is because I need the valid preview function that you added in earlier version. without that, I'm just getting a black screen. I hope you can add that function (together with the other goodies) to v13. take your time. we can wait. highly appreciate your work here mate! :o :)

EDIT: and also, even though it says in Video Settings -> Number of Cameras that there are 2 cameras, only ffc is available during calls.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

could you try v11 and enable 'use valid preview surface' in the settings. if that doesn't work, try enabling 'set Avoid FPS' as well. Let us know how it goes!
[Android Apps and Games] nazbel:
Hi theos0o!!!

thanks for all your efforts!!! but my HTC Desire with Runnymede custom rom still doesn't have video calling!!! could you put back the force video toggle!!

Thanks mate ur the best!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I thought Skype had fixed this.

Uhh, I'll check it out.

Yes mate, I've been told already!

I think I can fix that.

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

I updated v13 post, added APK link AND full source pack.
[Android Apps and Games] mirroalex:
I have the same problem with my HTC HD2 running Dorimanx 3.0.3(latest version) CM7 rom, my video is ok but i can't see anyone just dark screen ...

P.S the last working version was v11
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
skype never fix anything. :(

thanks theos0o in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
did you have added rotation button to all devices? because i dont see it yet on my GT-I9001...
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Coming in 5 minutes.

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

edit:

So here's a test build:

http://www.multiupload.com/IMVVMU68VL

For users that don't get rotation just enable "Force openGL".

Force-enable video-calling and force 2 cams toggles are back.

There's also a new option to select between 2 skype internal "hacks".

These "hacks" may help users that get black screens.

Please try all those new settings and report back.

Logs are always welcome and please write the advanced settings you used when capturing that log!

If possible I'd also like a log with NONE of the advanced settings enabled!

****

REMEMBER!

When you want to capture a log, ENABLE "ENABLE VERBOSE-LOGGING" IN ADVANCED SETTINGS,

START LOGGING, RESTART SKYPE APP AND CONTINUE AS NORMAL!

****
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Do you remember my previous problem with the audio not being routed to the ear-piece like it was supposed? Well, that was somehow fixed with your v13 beta (after enabling MODE_IN_CALL option). Many many thanks for this, theos0o!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] david23400:
Hello i have a problem with Skype ,

the application goes out by itself .. and i want to be connected to it for always!! just like viber or fring but it gets out by itself sometimes..

is this problem solved in this version?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
theos0o, I'm still getting a black screen. Attach are the logs but I forgot to enable verbose logging! I'll recapture logs and upload logs again. :( I've indicated at the start of the logs the settings that are enabled.

EDIT: I've uploaded a new set of logs. this time, verbose logging is enabled. also, is there a way to have it lock at landscape mode? thanks in advance!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
the easiest way to know if to actually test it yourself and let us know the result. also, skype has a setting named 'Go offline'. By default, it is set to 'Never' but just do a quick check just to make sure it is indeed set to 'Never'.

As far as this version goes, I don't think theos0o, the main developer of this mod, made any changes regarding being connected always. I'm not sure though. Anyway, just try his mods and you won't regret it. ;)

Finally i got rotation fuction after enabling openGL but i think it rotates image only about 90degrees...
[Android Apps and Games] garbb:
I have been trying to get skype video to work on my LG optimus S. So far none of the modified builds have even displayed an option in any menu to enable video. This one finally allowed me to select the force video option but when I restarted skype it closes itself just after login...(not force close, just drops back to home screen). I would like to look at/post the logs if it made any.

What location does it put the log files?
[Android Apps and Games] mirroalex:
Newer v13 beta version worked for me once(htc hd2 running dorimanx latest cm7) with following settings(look attachment picture) after ending call and call again it didn't work i mean my video is ok but my partner's video is black, the same result i got with two modes "video host config" first time it worked but then not...
[Android Apps and Games] cedetek:
I have same problem too. (HTC Desire)
[Android Apps and Games] nazbel:
Works Great!!!

:D !!!!Theos0o !!! you are a θεός (god) !!!

Like i always said !!! you're The Best!!!

i would love to donate!!! but it's unfortunately impossible from my country! :(

Merry christmas, best wishes !!!

By the way, i have:

HTC Desire running Runnymede AIO V3.0.5

Woooow!!! :p
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No.

I can't go that deep.

Thanks, will be fixed in next build.

What do you mean?

I can click "Rotate camera" as many times I want, and it rotates to all possible sides (default, 90, 180, 270).

I guess Skype still needs ARMv7 processors and your phone's CPU is ARMv6.

Can't do anything about this :(

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

I'm looking into all your issues, but, but, but.. it's not easy :o

edit:

blue_algae, you got Galaxy Tab P1010, right?

Too weird it doesn't work correctly, it's in supported devices!

Is the other side you're video-calling updated to the latest version of skype (PC or whatever)?

Also, do you get black screen in your own camera or on the other side? or both? :P
[Android Apps and Games] prescott66:
ahaa, sorry Theos! i dont knew that i can click "Rotate video" more times and every click rotates video about 90 degrees.so it worked now. thank you very much!

so, feedback from samsung galaxy s plus (GT-I9001): for now, everything is working well for me...
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
yes, I'm using the latest version of skype for windows (5.5.0.124). and yes, black screen for both my tab and PC. It used to work at v11 when 'Use valid preview surface' is checked but that setting is no longer available. :( Galaxy Tab P1010 is the wifi only version of P1000.

thank you for looking into my issue!

EDIT: what do you think of the logs I sent? Would you need more? :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No need for more logs.

Is there any problem with your mic? Why is it muted? :p

Anyway, I'll take a better look later or tomorrow.

Doing some homework at the moment :(
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
I was getting feedback while working on it so I had to mute it. lol

thanks again in advance!!!! you're the best!

EDIT: the muted mic is my PC's mic and not on my tab. just thought I'd clear that out. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Unkalo:
Bad news... In my i9003 now appears rotate camera option, but now black screen! I tried all options (set fps...). With 2.6.0.95 from market video ok, but rotation issue, and doesn't appear rotation option.

And with your build allways black screen, and after force opengl appears rotation option. But continues black screen.

If you add to try differents resolutions may be fix the black screen problem.

PD: with your 2.6.0.95 v13 version no black screen, but rotation option and doesn't appear rotate camera button, and I have rotation issue....

Enviado desde mi GT-I9003 usando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
Unkalo, I just PM'ed you about theos0o's latest release. what a coincidence! :D

anyway, I suspect it's the 'use valid preview' function. v11 used to work when that option is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You mean that with my build it's always black, even with NONE of my settings enabled, while market version is ok?

Can you confirm it please (ie. reinstall app from market and try again)?

edit:

Logs of both my build and the market build would help!
[Android Apps and Games] Unkalo:
Yes confirmed. With market version and v.13 from 26th december camera ok, but not rotation option.

And with your lastest build appears rotation option but black screen. (audio ok always).

Ok I will send log after, now I can't. You want log from both versions allright?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9003 usando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
So v13 is ok.

With the latest test build, if you disable "Force openGL", is there black screen again?

Or black screen appears only when you use "Force openGL"?

Well, one log from my latest test build is ok for start.

Just enable verbose-logging in advanced settings!
[Android Apps and Games] Unkalo:
Black screen always appears on your lastest build. Independent if I active to force open gl or not.

Thank for your work. Skype never has worked in my device, only last version. Devs ofently forget or ignore this device (i9003)

[Android Apps and Games] duq:
First of all, thank you for you work! v11 works great with my Ideapad A1, will try the newer ones later.

But, I also own a Toshiba ac100. It is a Tegra 250 device with keyboard and without touchscreen, best rom is a Froyo, Honeycomb is in Alpha, Gingerbread will probably never come. The only cam is a front cam. Skype videochat, of course, doesn't work. Your Advanced Settings make Skype crash. The builds from droidrxd doesn't support Cortex 9 / Tegra 2 (not possible to activate Videocalling). Is there anything that I should try?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Unfortunately no. :(

My builds won't run on froyo.

droidrx was developing for froyo, but he doesn't seem to be active anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] duq:
Should I try the Honeycomb Alpha with one of your builds?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I don't really think it'll work..
[Android Apps and Games] Unkalo:
Hi, here you have the log from i9003.

I explain:

Skype market version and v13, camera works, send video, but rotation issue exists, and can not be fixed because it isn't an option to rotate the camera.

In your last build (log) appears the option for rotating the camera, but there is always a black screen even force opengl is enabled or not. Don't send video.

100% tested with all options. I hope you can take a look. This would be the first time that Skype works 100% without issues on this device.

Thank you for all!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Unkalo

Try this:

http://www.multiupload.com/XWEX9LAK5D

It's v13 with openGL force-enable by default.

No need to change any settings, just install it and try.

Goodnight for now
[Android Apps and Games] Unkalo:
Wow! The video works well, and now appears the option to rotate the camera during a video call, so the rotation issue, can be corrected during a videocall now. I've tried a video call between skype PC and my i9003, and everything works perfect! Thanks!

Tomorrow I'll try between two i9003, but I think it will work perfect. I'll post the results tomorrow. Because between two i9003, the effect of the rotation issue is twice (upside down), but now we can fix the rotation manually)

You must understand, today is a very important day for me and for all i9003 community, is the first time that videocalls work well with Skype on this device (in older versions green flickering or black screen issues, always). I had waited for a long time, I have spoken to many devs, working with many people (not just skype, no video calling app that works well on i9003) and finally we can enjoy this feature in our i9003. For now only Tango (1 week ago) and Skype (from today!), Works well on i9003. We have waited for this feature a lot of months.

Theos0o thank you very much for your attention and your work. You are great. You deserve a donation. Skype working 100% well is like a Chistmas present.

I hope not to have bothered much to you, and thanks for everything again.

theos0o,

there is the problem with htc hd2. the incoming video is working only first time. after first call (after installing the program on the phone) the incoming video of second call is only black screen. can you fix that please?
[Android Apps and Games] mirroalex:
yeah i have the same problem theoso i report it earlier ... can you fix this ... ? :o

[Android Apps and Games] Ravens97:
Is there a way to force video calling in V13?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Try this test build:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20742204&postcount=1668

Some people say it works, others say they get black screen.

Regarding your PM, forcing video-calling is actually forcing 'true' value into a boolean field of a skype java class.

edit

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.
[Android Apps and Games] Ravens97:
Thanks, i will give this a test now. And ill post the log on here later on! And Oh right.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

This test build works well. Ive also added the log file if that helps. The video call and features seems to work fine. Also rotation works fine to on it. I didnt need to force enable OpenGL to get it to work. Thanks for the great work so far!
[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
first call - all is ok.

second call - the black screen insread incoming video.

Coby Kyros MID8127

Theos0o - nice work!

v13 is the closest the MID8127 has worked with Skype. (v11 worked as well).

I skyped to my daughters MID8127 from my laptop on my local network. I see her video on my laptop (mono works best, color is still striped), and she hears me. I don't hear her and she doesn't see my video on the tablet, but she does she herself in the lower left corner.

Any of this sound correctable in the next release?

Big thanks for making this work.

galaxy tab p1010

hi theos0o. I know skype's code have changed a lot but do you think there is a way you could bring back valid preview surface? That was present in v11 and that worked but the video is on the left side of the screen. thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ghosty7:
The exit on the menu no longer works ??? this was the best feature...
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
That's not the problem.

Valid preview surface was a fix for phones that got black screen only in their own camera image, but incoming video was fine.

You say you can't see anything at all, and skype actually seems to be using valid surfaces now..

Your device is also in supported devices so it should be working without a problem.

I'll take a look again into your logs. Didn't see any obvious errors there when I first looked though.

----

On the other hand, I have an idea about the issue on the HTC desire.

----

@wpetering

Unfortunately, I can't fix anything without logs.

If I can't pinpoint an issue into the code, I can't fix it.

And believe me, the code is huge and obfuscated (they use ProGuard so that it's harder for people like me to understand how their code works!).

----

Of course it works.

It has a minor bug though.

When you deselect "Skype status" notification in skype settings, it doesn't work!
[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
and what about problem of htc hd2? can you fix it? what the logs says?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Oh, yeah.

I was actually referring to your issue, not HTC desire.

Maybe it's the same issue for both phones.

I'm on it right now.
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
ok, thanks! also to clarify, outgoing video is just black. in my screen, I can see black image instead of myself. on the other end (windows PC), it's just black with the circle icon going around. however, incoming video is ok. so only outgoing video (my device to the other end) has the problem.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@blue_algae

Have you tried the clean market version?

Is it working for you or what? hmm

Took a better look into your logs, there are some things going wrong, but I don't know if I can fix them.

Try the market version please and tell me..

edit:

AAAhhhh interesting!
[Android Apps and Games] blue_algae:
market version is the same. I can see incoming video. but outgoing video is just black on my screen. on the other end, it's black as well with the circle icon going around. it seems to be trying to load but nothing happens.

my device is very different from P1000 -the other Galaxy Tab with 3G. Samsung markets P1010 (my device) as the same with P1000 without 3G/modem but that is not true. this is the reason we don't have custom roms yet while P1000 has custom roms. hardware is different from each other and no devs is interested in working on our devices. :(
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Ok, you convinced me.

I'll try to get my own "valid surface" back on the game ;)

[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Hey Theos0o,

You are still the No.1!!

Just some feedback for you from using the latest v13 (not the ogl version) on my Desire running Sebastians Runnymeade AIO v3.0.5.

Skype video calling works time after time and with the "Force openGL" ticked i get rotating video so that is cool.

But i notice a lot of back ground Hissssss on my Desire, even when both the PC and the Desire mic is muted to stop the audio feedback (due to testing in the same room) so the Hissssssss is there with all microphones muted, if i plug in my head set to the Desire then the hiss is gone.

One other feedback that i notice also in v11 and still in v13 (i'm not sure if the official version has this issue as well).....its a small nothing but i know you are a perfectionist......... when you go in to Profile on Android the Date of Bith is always showing "Not Specified" even after setting it up. so everytime SKYPE for Android restarts it must reset to "Not Specified". therefore it resets my PC SKYPE settings as well.

thanx and regards
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hi angus!

About the hiss:

I have no idea! Are you sure it's only on v13?

I don't think they changed anything.

Did you try MODE_IN_CALL too?

About birthdate:

I took a quick look into this, but it seems they've disabled this functionality server side, so I can't really fix it.

Plus I'm already too tired (see below) :D

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

@blue_algae

Mate, your issue is destroying me for like 5-6 hours. :p

My "valid surface" tweak can't work now, as the code has changed extremely! :(

I'm trying to find a way round, but it may not be possible..

I'll stop trying for now, my mind is so messed up! :)

Tomorrow, I'll make a last effort for this.
