Might want to update OP for the masses who didn't read the thread for your responses. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No need, there'll be a release soon (pretty basic like the latest one available in OP, hopefully we can add more things with time)
[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
Will it be 4.4 or 4.5? There is a very important feature in 4.5: it does not switch off camera when minimizing.
[Android Apps and Games] juriov:
Maybe it will also in black(inverted) version? Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I think I'm working on 4.5..

Not sure if there's inverted APK anywhere?

Will check it out later..

Do you think you can implement 'typing notifications' in the version after the next?

Thank you anyway for your work
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Sounds impossible..
[Android Apps and Games] sean2148max2:
Could it be possible to implement the ability to create group calls/conference calls? Also some kind of slider for voice audio, as when I'm in a call whilst using earphones, the lowest volume I can set before it's muted could be quieter.
[Android Apps and Games] mymo82:
Too bad, thanks for answering anyway. I do hope Microsoft can do that one day...
[Android Apps and Games] miatawnt2b:
ver 20 would not allow me to make calls on my s3. V19.1 works, but changing the video quality to any resolution other than the lowest setting or Let Skype Decide results in the person I'm calling not being able to see any video. I can still see theirs fine.

Ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] alexman9000:
Great Skype mod, but I have to use the previous version (19.1).

When I speaking in v20b or caller too spooky noise or silence.

At the same I perfectly hear and see the caller.

In other applications, the microphone works fine, but not in v20b.

I have also made some attempts with the AIGURU SV1 (the older one without touch screen), but so far I have not had any success.

I created a bootable USB stick for x86 computers, but even with this USB stick plugged in the AIGURU SV1 booted from its internal device.

I also tried to connect a USB keyboard hoping to get into some kind of CMOS setup where it would be possible to select boot device. However, this keyboard seems completely dead both at boot and once the system is booted. So far I haven't been able to use the USB port.

I was hoping to be able to boot a live Linux distribution from USB with sshd running. Even if the device is "headless" without keyboard and working graphics it would be possible to login using ssh and then mount partitions and copy files to and from other machines in the network. Unfortunately I wasn't able to boot from USB.

I also had a look at that source package. To me it seems as if they only provide the source of some GPL licensed software where the license requires them to provide sources. They also include some patches to make the Linux kernel and the syslinux bootloader silent, good for an appliance like the AIGURU SV1. However, they don't include any kind of script to build the sources and the sources are far from complete as some parts like the skype software are not included. They also do not include any documentation on how to replace the original software with software from any modified source.

Skype 4.5.0.39600 modded (build v21 *BETA*)

Thank you very much for this Mod!!

It got me closer to want to use Skype 4.5. I rejected it coz of the missing Skype states and always reverted back to the old 3.2 version. Only since the Android 4.3 the old Skype no longer flashes the LED and as such no visual indication of available messages.

All missing to make me really happy is that the status of my friends would also be visualised (offline/hidden, available, away, do not disturb) - a lot of my friends do use "do not disturb" and as such are not shown as available.

Would it be possible to include that in your mod? Please!!!!

Exactly the same for me, and now that my phone received Android 4.3 I had to use a newer version of Skype other then 3.2

Thank you to the modder for the modified version of Skype it is greatly appreciated.

I too would like it if its possible to have it show on my list of people who is in what Status, when people are set to Away it still show a Green dot and "Available" (stupid Microsoft and their Skype team why they half to make things so hard.. *facepalm*)

As well too if someone is set to Busy/Do not Disturb them being show as offline is dumb (its like the Skype team doesn't think..), I hope these can be changed if possible please, Thank you.

Well ever since skype changed their android interface the "busy" people are shown as offline and "away" people are shown available.But if you head over to iOS skype no such issue exist ,people are shown on one's list according to their status.So i am not sure why would skype/microsoft make it different for android
[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
This option is currently available only on phones.
[Android Apps and Games] dbzgod:
Yeah its pretty dumb, I actually talked to the Skype team about it, and they told me its because there are too many different Android phones out there and many of them are low end devices that can't handle a full blown version of Skype like iOS/PC versions so they gave us this "slimed down" version instead.

Why they don't just add an option in that gives you the ability to make the choice yourself to run a "slimed" version or regular is just asinine, but again Microsoft... they don't think...
[Android Apps and Games] singhpratik87:

access Advanced settings option on tablet

Those who are having trouble accessing the "Advanced settings" on their tablet can use this trick to force phoneUI just for skype and access advanced settings from there (Works prefectly on my Galaxy Tab 2)

Install Xposed and App settings module from within it. Open App settings, search for skype, and under skype settings - set the Screen (dp) to 320*480 as shown in the screenshot. Save the settings. Now open Skype and volla!! you have the phoneui interface of skype where you can easily access the advanced settings

Warning: Xposed requires a rooted phone/tablet which voids the warranty.

Brilliant but I have problem with 4.5.0.39600

Re "Skype 4.5.0.39600 modded (build v21 *BETA*) !"

This has been annoying me for sometime, so thanks for all the work. I downloaded your latest amended file for 4.5.0.39600, but for some reason no 'advanced menu' option appears (using Android 4.2.2).

I tried uninstalling/re-installing a couple of times, same lack of advanced menu.

I almost gave up then tried your previous version for v4.0.0.17847.

Although during the install there was a warning from Skype about video possibly not working correctly, the 'advanced options' were available, and I can now use the speaker.

Thanks again, but puzzled why the advanced menu is missing in the 4.5.0.39600 Beta download?

Advanced Settings?

Forgive me for what may be a stupid question with an obvious answer. The last MOD of yours I used was a few versions ago and access to the Advanced Settings menu was quite obvious. However, after installing v21b, I can't seem to find the Advanced Settings. I know Skype's UI layout has changed a bit in recent versions, so I may be overlooking the obvious. A point in the right direction would be very much appreciated. ;)
