Your bluetooth issue should not be a problem with the Skype app. It's should be a problem with the bluetooth audio profile on the phone. If there is any bluetooth device connected, it will direct the audio through it. When streaming music via BT in my car, all my sounds come through the car speakers. This includes calls, notifications, and anything else.

Odd glitch.

If I have my phone sitting on its dock and someone calls me then I pick it up. Skype errors out with "The call to +5 555-5555 Has not been established yet and has been ended"

This is with the latest v17 build, I don't know if it does it with the stock official version or not, I got rid of that so quickly due to the ringtone volume. Thank you so so much for adding the ability to choose it.

Just thought I'd let people know or the dev! I'm using MIUI 2.3.7 on a Nexus One.

Can't download v.17

Hi,

I tried v.16 because the Skype update (OEM) really sucked on my Thunderbolt, and really like it. Just tried to download V.17 using the link you provided, but both my laptop and Thunderbolt time out when using the link:(.

Since this is the first time I'm using this forum, not sure if the link is the problem or I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance.:D

Skype problems on Sony Xperia Tablet S

I have a Sony Xperia Tablet S with Android 4.0.3. The official Skype crashed every 5 minutes if I use the video chat. I installed your mod according to your steps, but the person who I'm talking doesn't see me. Just a black screen. I try with FPS enabled and disabled and it's the same, just black screen. :(

FC with advanced settings

Hi,

I'm trying the last release with JellyBean, and have a FC when I want to enter in the advanced settings. I've installed the release over my previous install, and all seems to work (I can do video calls, for example). Do you know some incompatibility between your skype mod and JB ?

EDIT : I've attached a logcat file, if it can help
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There's no such incompatibility.

I run it on SGS w/ JB (CM10 based ROM).

A log would help pinpoint the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:

Tried both "if black screen" and "force camera" options, and nothing...

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] benlm72:
I've read this instruction, the fact is that I just didn't install the market version before, I restore directly the previous skype mod via Titanium Backup. But I will try to uninstall skype and reinstall your last mod, and let you know.

theos0o what's the proper way to extract a file from a .apk then replace it with something else like you did with your custom Skype v2 builds?

For some reason both the stock v2 Skype versions and yours crash a lot on me, sometimes hang up when I answer a call or sometimes even dial.

I reverted to an old 1.0.0.984 version and it works fine for me except the ringtone is super low.

I tried renaming the .apk to .zip, deleting the incoming call wav and replacing it with my own and then renaming it back to .apk. But when I go to install it it says the application wasn't installed.

(There is a ringtone picker in 1.0.0.984 but it never saves my setting and resets back to "default" all the time for some reason)

With a louder ringtone an older version would be great.

I wish I could use your v2 mods but doesn't seem to be working out even with stock v2. I'm using MIUI-2.3.30 on a Nexus One.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There's no need to rename it to .zip.

Just open the APK using WinRAR or some other archiver, and replace whatever you want.

Then you need to sign the APK (using apk manager) and install.

Thanks a lot theos0o I really appreciate it :D.

Nexus S v17 Skype feedbak

I have a GSM Nexus S google phone. ( I keep this phone because phones are expensive and I like the fact that it is small compare to Samsung S3)

Skype's low ringtone and volume bothered me a lot so I decided to try your modifications. They are great. Still the camera rotation does not function and it stays in landscape all the time. Also for some reason after 10 sec , under all settings for the front and back camera, the image suddenly goes bury.

Skype video is basically not worth the headache on my Android phone but thank a lot for the ringtone changeability.

Poor resolution on ASUS TF700t

I have used the standard version of Skype as well as this version (v.17) but both seem not to be able to output higher resolutions than 320x240. If I try to force the resolution to higher levels (I have tried all of them one by one up to 1920x1080) the other party does not receive my video. I do however see myself in the preview window on the tablet. What should I do to set my resolution to a higher level so that the other party sees it as well? The TF700t has 2 performant cameras (2mp front and 8mp rear). Thank you in advance.

Hey I've been a longtime user of your skype apps, haven't posted here yet though. I have this set to start after login on my device, so since it's one of the first things I see on my device I was interested in changing it to match my theme. I did a quick ninjamorph teardown just now and saw some cool icons from v9 I think, I was wondering if these still work if I rename them?

Also, I like the skype startscreen - but it's very bright in the morning and blue doesn't match my monochrome theme. I'm interested in making it black but didn't see any background image files when I just looked, is the skype startscreen just a color in an xml file with an animation overlapping it?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
What do you mean? Replace some icons with others? That would work.

But renaming? I don't get it.

I think it is just that, yes.

res/layout/splashscreen.xml
[Android Apps and Games] kiksotaki:
maybe a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Sorry, I'm not god.

I can't fix things without first hand experience.
[Android Apps and Games] ickk:
Well for example, there are 3 folders - drawable-mdpi-v9, drawable-mdpi-v11, and then drawable-mdpi. I may or may not have the names exactly right, but I'm pretty sure drawable-mdpi is the folder being used by the app for the icons and whatnot, so I think the v9/v11 folders are renamed drawable-mdpi from previous versions. So what I was asking is if this was some themeing you've done previously in the that I could reuse by renaming their folders.

and yes, ninjamorph can be used to replace icons with others, or anything else inside of the app. But since the splashscreen is probably not a image background with an animation on top, it's a little more work than just replacing images and recompiling.

anyway, thank you, I'll go check that xml file out and see if I can change some stuff around.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No no no!

These are android modifiers that help the system pick the images.

mdpi is for medium density devices (somewhat lower ppi compared to modern devices). There are 4 categories. Ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi.

v9 means API level 9 or later.

So if I have a Galaxy S3 (xhdpi screen IIRC) running JB 4.1 (= API level 16) and the app says load image1.png, it will check for a copy of image1.png in drawable-xhdpi-v16 folder, if there is any. If not, it will fallback to the closest candidate (eg. drawable-hdpi instead of drawable-mdpi or drawable-xhdpi-v11 instead of drawable-xhdpi-v9).
[Android Apps and Games] ickk:
ah okay, I knew the compatibility between the hdpi, mdpi, etc stuff but the versions threw me off because they were themed differently in this app. I didn't realize the numbers represented the api levels. Sorry about that, still a little new to theming android.

Here's a small gift for tablet users that hate forced landscape:

http://d-h.st/W0Z

This should let Skype rotate normally.

You should remember that layouts are designed for landscape and will look a bit weird or tight. But I thought it may be useful for some, especially when text-chatting.

Video call may also have wrong image rotation when you're holding it in portrait, so use landscape when you're video calling.

That's all for now, till I start working on it properly.

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
I am running leaked/unofficial XXLSJ stock JB ROM on my SGS2 (GT-I9100).

When restoring my "old" Skype v17 with Titanium Backup, it works fine, but I recognize an AudiOut_2 wakelock which prevents deepsleep state on my phone.

After un-installing v17 and installing latest official Skype app from Play store, the AudioOut_2 wakelock is gone and deepsleep state is entered.

A friend analysed my BBS dump and logcat files, and identified an "old" / changed Audio driver which might cause the AudioOut_2 wakelock.

Is there something in Skype v17 which changes the audio driver of the phone/system?

If not, this issue may be caused by the restoring process of Titanium Backup ... I am still searching for the reason of this wakelock issue, as I like your Skype app ... but want my phone to enter deepsleep in order to have better battery life when idle.

A friend of mine flashed the same leaked JB ROM and installed Theos0o's Skype v17 app.

He has no AudioOut_2 wakelock issue and "normal" deepsleep ratio.

So it's not a general issue with v17 and the JB leak, but seems to be an individual issue on my phone (maybe with something persistent from my previous Skype v17 app installation).

As long as there is no new version of this modified Skype app, I have to stay on the official Skype app ... which I really don't want to use much.
