Thank you very much, theos0o, this version works just fine(using fps featurr, i.e. antiblack screen feature)

Thank you once again, you helped a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] W.Master:
theos0o,

any news about support ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I'm on ICS but I haven't tried skype at all :p

Isn't it working? I'll check when I get some time.
[Android Apps and Games] xplorr:
@theos0o I tried this version that you suggested to @J-Pro because I had the same issue, but as soon as I enable "Force Video" option, skype crashes after login.

I use a rooted Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 (which is a very nice smartphone by the way).

I would really love to enable the video call option in skype albeit with my back camera. Thanks for your advice and thanks for the nice work!
[Android Apps and Games] Madtowndave:
Hi,

I'm trying to get the video chat working on my i897 Captivate. I am on an i9000 based GB ROM (JVZ Mosiac 9).

I un-installed Market version of Skype, pasted this v13 .apk to /system/app...then installed and I can login but video chat displays all black on either camera (obviously front camera won't work on i897). Audio works fine. I tried going into advance settings for an option that I can't remember the title of that indicates to use if video is all black and I still get same result.

When I rebooted my phone and try logging into Skype, it tells me I need to un-install Skype and then forces me back to the Market for re-install.

I also tried renaming the .apk to just be 'Skype_2.6.0.95.apk' and get same results...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I installed the .apk from post # 1803 and at least not telling me I need to re-install Skype...will test video call functionality later when at home. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Naruto98:
thank you guys!
[Android Apps and Games] J-Pro:
theos0o, one more question about the executable you suggested: my brother tried it on his Orange San Fransisco(aka ZTE Blade) with Android 2.2. He logs in successfully, but when presses Advanced Settings(which is with simple questionmark icon instead of cool gears which are on my HTC), skype crashes.

Here is his log from alogcat: log (zip with txt inside)

As I can see, there is an NPE there...

Could you please advise if you have some time?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Devices running froyo won't work!

So it's normal for ZTE blade on 2.2 to crash.

In addition, on devices with CPU incapable of NEON instruction set, video calling will NOT work (that applies for both galaxy gio and zte blade).

Sorry! :(
[Android Apps and Games] Madtowndave:
Editx2: Well version 20047 didn't work in ICS, but the current v13 does work great in ICS. Who knew?

Thanks again.

Edit: I got it working using version 20047 back facing only apk here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15427914&postcount=453

Now to see if it works on ICS!!

Thanks Dev, this mod is great!

===========

I'm still getting the black screen in video chat. In Advanced Settings I have:

Number of Cameras: 2 -> Not sure why since Captivate only has back facing camera...when I click on it it says:

Android 2.3.6

:: CID 0, Facing Back Orientation 90

CID 1 Facing Front Orientation 270

Force Enable video calling is checked

Force enable both camera is checked (I also tried unchecked, no difference)

Video Host Config is set to None

Foce openGL is unchecked

Avoid setFPS is checked

Does it matter if I am the one initiating the chat or no? Any ideas on how to get this running is greatly appreciated!

I can send logcat if desired.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ghlrobin:
All I have to say is THANK YOU.

After installing CM7.1 I couldn't even log in to Skype but your custom v11 works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Pro:
Thank you very much for your explanation and for development.

Anyway, I hope some time there will be a way to make videocalls on ZTE Blade... I know that there is nothing impossible in programming :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
That's true, but it's impossible for us, as we have no access to skype app and libs source code.

I apologize for bad English.The biggest nuisance of this is that Skype unable to make a video call if the other party no camera, video camera they have failed when the conversation is removed from the other side. Video calling only works when the other side have a camera. galaxy s2
[Android Apps and Games] Madtowndave:
Hi, I'm all good now running v13 on ICS...I'm done messing with my phone for a little while lol!

Thanks for developing this; it is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Hello theos0o,

I was running a ROM based on Android 2.3.4 before and Skype could be installed normally, after accepting the prompt (with a warning of incompatible app) to continue with the installation anyway.

Right now I am running a new ROM, now based on Android 2.3.5 and that prompt has disappeared, which leads to an automatic installation failure (when installing from Market or manually using ES File Explorer).

When trying the adb install command I get the following result:

D:\>adb install Skype_2.6.0.95_v13.apk
2937 KB/s (12180775 bytes in 4.050s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Skype_2.6.0.95_v13.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ACWF_INCOMPATIBLE]

The only way to install Skype is doing it via the brute force method, ie adb push command:

D:\>adb push Skype_2.6.0.95_v13.apk /data/app
2944 KB/s (12180775 bytes in 4.040s)

Do you know what could be wrong? By any chance do you know if there's any setting that brings back the prompt to let the installation continue even if the phone detects that the app is incompatible?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No idea.

I google'd "INSTALL_FAILED_ACWF_INCOMPATIBLE" but can't find anything important!?
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Never mind. I was missing a system app that is responsible for that dialog prompt.

Everything is working now and your latest beta still works after enabling MODE_IN_CALL. ;)

Hi Theo0o

You fixed a problem I was having with a Dropad A8 some months back. Now I have a Novo7 running ICS 4.0.3 and I am having another problem. The picture that the person I am talking to receives has vertical stripes. You can see the correct picture behind the stripes.

I am attaching a link to the peicture received by my iphone.

I am using the latest skype from the market (2.6.0.95). The same version was fine under gingerbread. Version 2.5.0.160 works fine in ICS but there is no exit button. When I try your v13 it doesn't work at all.

Hope you can help.

Thanks, Jeannette

Galaxy Tab 7 Back camera

Hi to all

I have a Galaxy Tab 7 with Overcome Rom 4.0.0. Can anyone managed to switch cameras ( front and back ) using latest version of this Skype 2.6.0.95 modded version during a videocall? Only front camera is working... Pressing the right video icon I have choice only front camera, disable camera, pressing it, cannot change anything, still front camera only..

Both version original and this one has the same problem.

Skype Video feature vs Vtok video feature at ARMv6

Hi All,

I don't now what are the limitations of Skype in terms of intructions requirements on ARMv6 cpu, but i just try to install one version of vtok.app and it works fine the front camera, i just made a call between my Hero_H7300_MT6573 and the gtalk plugin in the gmail.

it seems that is possible to have applications using the front camera to make video call in this kind of cpu

So, why with vtok is possible to have VT Calls and withskype is not possible in this ARMv6 cpu version?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] cedetek:
I have same problem too, oovoo app. so same as skype
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Saw it, but I'm a bit confused with all those versions :p

Can you repeat? What's happening with MY builds and what with official builds?

Of course it's possible mate.

CPU has nothing to do with video-calling.

BUT skype video-calling libraries are built for ARMv7 CPUs, that's the issue.

And AFAIK, we can't fix this.

Hi again,

Sorry about the confusion.

I have this Novo7 tablet. It came with gingerbread 2.3.4 and the 2.6.0.95 skype from the market was working great so I never tried your version.

Then I upgraded the tablet to ICS.

The market 2.6.0.95 gives me the picture I posted with the purple vertical lines. This is what the person at the other end sees. The picture at my end is good both in the main and small inset window.

Your v13 version crashes when I try to initiate a call.

As barty22 suggest wi-fi or other connection. For example I connect to pc and use internet from pc on htc SKYPE is working ok. But should be same when I run internet connection from my mobile provider/vodafone.

1st of all I was thinking is something to do with network prowider but when I put sim to old htc hd2 windows/start skype and is ok. Ive put sim back ON to htc incredible s and same issue :mad:

@UkUser, are you saying that a skype voice call doesn't work at all while using a data connection? or that it works, but slow? perhaps you are simply using edge or gprs data speeds, which might not be enough for skype (not sure though, never tried)... might be because you're in an area where faster data speeds are not covered?

@barty22

I'm saying that when I make a skype voice call through data connection include my mobile contract is cutting voice and can hear 10% sound like computer voise.:mad:
