After being prompted to update Skype, I installed their v2.5, but their bluetooth support is buggy. The good thing is that it is automatic, I mean, if a bluetooth headset is connect, sound is routed to it. Nevertheless, the headset's mic is highly distorted. In theos0o's superb version I can set MODE-IN-CALL to get it fixed. This setting is inexistent in their new version.

Eagerly wating for theos0's new release.

Just my 2 cents...

Regards,

Carlos

Yes file ...:P

We do have both cameras option, front and back. But they both show black. Am on gingerbread cm7. From what I heard ppl with stock rom (froyo) have only the back facing camera option, but it DOES work. Oh and ppl on GB leak rom say its working 100%.

PM for any feedback or anything you want.

Cheers

I solved the update prompt problem, by just uninstalling 2.1.0.46, installing 2.5.1 from the Market and then uninstalling it and then re-installing 2.1.0.46

Not sure why I was getting a market prompt to update as 2.1.0.46 is not installed from the market but from the .apk
[Android Apps and Games] delao13:
If you have Titanium Backup, detach v11 from the market, no more update prompts. I did it and pity works.

So PLEASE post a link in this thread, when v12 is ready.

Big Thanks in advance !!!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Check for updates just lets you know there's a newer version out and you can also view a simple changelog.

It won't download the newer version for you (yet?).. :p
[Android Apps and Games] DuhDroid:
I was having my Send video set to Mono for Black and White only. This is due to the green and gray color blocks I was experiencing in my Sending video. Will your new camera updates fix this so I can Send in full color?

I also have a friend who just got the newest Skype update on his Glaxay Tab 10 inch and video now works for him.

I am tempted t download this new Market version of Skype to replace your apk, and see if it works on my Coby Kyros mid7022, Android 2.3.3 w/ Telechips Cortex A8 chip.

Any advice ?

As always thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You can try it.. why not?

As for your issue, hmm, we can take a look after v12.
[Android Apps and Games] DuhDroid:
Video color issue

Ok thanks. Yeah I posted on here back in August on the 22nd, #1268 thread.

Seems I am not the olnly one experiencing the lack of color in the sending video, mine as well as one other member have color blocks in shades of gray and pale green, So I set my sending video color to Mono to get the best resolution.

FYI I did unistall your apk's both V10 and V11 and then did install the new Skype version from the Android Market. It did not work for video still on my device. So I reinstalled both of your apk's and was back in business again!

Awesome job buddy!

now skype crashes immediately leather from the login window or exits.

is the smartphone for use with this impossible or do I need to set something else?

thank you very much!

With new cyanogenmod 7.1 skype video works.

But there is a problem.

The orientation is wrong

Its so messed up
[Android Apps and Games] eezdva:
Right . I am on the SGS2. Video works. But can't get anysound from the speaker while being in videocall. Tried all the settings . Nothing works.

Tried on CM7.1 and on Batista etc. Hope that will be fixed in the next version.

I think I'm going to upload a very first beta version tonight.

Don't expect much, many things are not working yet and will come later.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
v12 *BETA*BETA*BETA*BETA* release

So, many of you asked for this and I was really slow (bored) this time! :o

I'm giving out a REALLY *beta* version for those strange enough to try..

No big posts/details here.

Just try it and write back. ;)

Some of the things missing will be back hopefully, others won't.

And it will take time!

Mediafire

Older builds (based on v2.1.0.46): v07 / v08 / v09 / v10 / v11

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Update check successfully tested ;-)

Then downloading v12, de-installing v11 and re-installing v12.

Seems to work so far.

Now testing all extra features I need:

sound settings -> OK

start on boot -> missing

Thanks theos0o!
[Android Apps and Games] idealforyou:
I hoped in the new Version is this automatically when Bluetooth connectet and I must not the Bluetooth Toggle Button use.

New skype 2.5 don´t work with Bluetooth devices without A2DP. The last Version v11 has Toggle BT Audio and works perfectly without all BT Headsets. :o

Please fix this :)
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:
Hi & Thanks again

Findings

sound settings -> OK

start on boot -> Please in v13 :-)

Back camera flash -> OK

Prefer full screen -> Not working for HTC Sensation 2.3.4

Hope this helps :confused: :D
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
So you want "Prefer bluetooth audio" and "Toggle Bluetooth" back, like in v11?

That's quite easy for me I think.

Start on boot is something I have to think about, as v2.5 does not start on boot.

It won't be that easy to implement.

Prefer full screen, you know what that does right?

It just won't move incoming video into the small "window" when you change to the back camera etc.

It has nothing to do with Skype's v2.5 zoom (double-tap) function.
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:
Thanks again, I didnt know what that did & expected something different, but hey i do now lol
[Android Apps and Games] idealforyou:
I do not hear the caller about Bluetooth separate only over the internal loudspeaker in v12. In v11 work my mono BT Headset with Bluetooth Toggle.

I had hoped now it goes automatically and must not operate any more Bluetooth Toggle manuel. I think the new Skype supported no Mono Headsets separate Only in stereo Headsets with A2DP.

Normal phone calls function without problems with mono Bluetooth Headset exactly like in v11 with the Bluetooth Toggle.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Ok mate, I'll fix it in v13!
[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
theos0o, on htc hd2 TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.6.9 - new skype v12 show that there are two cameras - can you add the option that can set to use only back camera? cause when i want to videocalling - skype use front camera and it's rotating on 180 digrees.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yeah, I'll try that.

Code has changed a lot so it will need some investigation :p
[Android Apps and Games] r0mmel:
great thanks, this is better then the one on the market right now.. the one on the market has my cam rotated wrong and has no bluetooth support. thanks a bunch :)
[Android Apps and Games] ThePigletWhisperer:
TheosOo

Hi

Is it possible to add a "rotate 180 degrees" for the front camera?

Because on my optimus 2x the screen orientation is upside down.

What do you think
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Mate, it was possible in v11.

I have to look it up for v13! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ThePigletWhisperer:
Ok geat.

Thanks

For some reason in v12 my exit button does nothing on sgs2. Skype stays running and back key just minimizes it.
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
I am running v12 on my SGS2, and the EXIT button is visible for me ... and works as it should.

Maybe there is another problem on your phone?!

You can see my current ROM information in my signature.

If you have something different, that could be the reason for this issue.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

For all, who need the start on boot for Skype:

I found a "quick and dirty" solution to start v12 on phone boot.

Using Automateit from Market - free app for starting actions on special triggers.

There is one trigger called "Autostart" (=> boot) and I combined it with action "Start Application" (=> Skype).

Quick OK, but why is it "dirty"?

1. Skype will be started at top/front app ... not as a background app.

2. You have to run the Automateit service all the time. OK, it is in the background, but some users do not want an additional app to run on there phone (regarding battery life, RAM usage, CPU time, etc.).

So for me, it is just a temporarily solution till theos0o will re-enable the "start on boot" option/feature in his Skype version.

Please direct me to apk for 2-way Skype video for Coby 1125 Android 2.3.3 THANKS!

To theos0o and whoever can help:

I have a Coby 1125, 10" screen Android 2.3.3 and only one camera, which is in front. Tried all 12 versions of theos0o skype hacks but not not one enable sending out video, though managed to see caller. Also tried the Advanced Settings, including forced enabling skype video, etc. Also tried at least 20 skype hacks from other forums but not one enables 2-way video skype on my Coby 1125.

If anyone who knows of a skype apk that enables 2-way video on the Coby1125 gingrbread 2.3.3 I would be most grateful if you can direct me to that download. Thank you very much.

No Force video call tweak

Hi theos0o!

First i want to thank you for all your efforts!

I updated to V12besta today and i found that there is no "force video calling" anymore.

i have a HTC Desire (Bravo) running a custom rom, so, there is no video calling both on the official version and yours!

Could you please add the toggle in the advanced menu!

Thanx!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Really?

No video-calling option in Skype 2.5?

hmm, ok.
[Android Apps and Games] nazbel:
Yes really! it's available only on the the stock rom
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks theos0o, I'm also waiting for some of the older advanced settings to come back! If only you could put this on Android's market, I'd def. buy it. I don't donate as I'm job hunting myself right now, otherwise I would buy a new top of the line phone too :) Thanks a lot for your work though, I really appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] DuhDroid:
I have a Coby 7022 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and Theos0's version works on my tablet. Your 1125 has the same chip so it should work as well.

Make sure you have Force-enable video calling checked as well as Avoid setFPS checked as well as Use valid preview surface checked.

This will enable your front camera however with mine the color in my sending video is not correct, so I did the following steps: Advanced Settings==> Camera Settings===>Back Camera===>Color Effect===> mono

This changes your Sending video to black and white which is clearer in my opinion.

I don't know of any fix to make the sending video in full color. But at least you can send and receive using Theos0 apk.

I hope this helps.

I don't really understand your question,

But i believe theos0o said in some post that the new market 2.5 version (and so this mod as well) doesn't have autorun anymore. The older market skype 2.1 versions had autorun enabled, but this mod had it disabled initally, and later had a setting for it with a checkbox in v11, since some time ago i think.

DuhDroid,

Thank you for the config tips which has now enabled me to use 2-way skype calls on my Coby 1125. By using the mono color config it has also removed the color streaks and 4 panel background which is quite distracting. Well, better send a black and white video than no video at all.

Theos0o: Thank you very much for all your hard work in producing the skype v11 app that works on my Coby 1125.

BTW - to Skype users: Microsoft has been awarded a phone-tap patent on skype calls, which is accessible to govt. Big brother can now watch you in a bigger way than envisaged by George Orwell in his book "1984". Technology can be convenience and danger to you.
[Android Apps and Games] FinalAssault:
I know Skype drains a battery quicker than regular usage, but I'll ask this dumb question anyway. Should it really be draining my new 2150 mAh battery for my Incredible 2 in several hours? Dear god is all I have to say, I went through like a 6 hour shift and it went from ~85 - 90% to the 30s.

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
That's unfair!

I want Skype to autostart, but it does not work on my SGS2.

And you don't want the autostart, but Skype does it on your phone.

Ok, there is a workaround to disable the autostarting of apps.

Some Autostart manager apps can prevent the starting of apps at booting.

E.g. Android Assistant, a free app from the Market, has got an Autostart Manager in Tools.

There you can easily select the apps, you want to stop when the phone is starting.

Give it a try!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I don't understand.

It won't autostart on my SGS too.. :confused:

Seems to be a minor change with some small bug fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:
Hi,

Has anyone else noticed that this 2.5.0.160 update is actually more buggy? I have a stock HTC Sensation & now when moving between signals which used to work with only a small freeze completely disconects & also video will be very poor with poor signal which is to be expected!!,,, but does not improve anymore when walking next to router, the Ops 2.1.46 v11 does it for me lol :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
I tried 2.5.0.160 from the market, and it definitely looks quite nice, with a nice new method to minimize your own cam window. But it doesn't work with video calling on my phone, i can make the video call but then everything goes wrong, my phone even refused to do anything anymore so a battery pull was necessary! Waiting for v13 based on 2.5.0160 ;) All those theos0o extra features are so great to have... until then, i'll keep using v11 :)
