Hi & Thanks

Works well on both front & back camera's, one small observation only is while using portrait mode & the front camera the senders video does not take up all of the small white frame & is off to the right, landscape is perfect, not bothered about looking at me so no worries lol, the back camera is fine & does not show this behavour in portrait/landscape modes

Hope this helps in some way & a BIG Thanks again

Get a CRC error on the rar but the apk file is fine!

Great work, will be testing this evening hopefully...

Sent from my SK17i
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yeah I know.

Won't bother with that.

Remember, it's not native portrait, it's hacked ;)
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks theos0o! For me this time just comments about the portrait feature;

- works pretty well, but the incoming video is zoomed quite a bit, there is image missing on all four sides...

- the preview window doesn't rotate or move to another place in portrait mode (didn't expect it to either), but also shows my own video upside down and mirrored (only in portrait mode). The outgoing video is the same as my preview window, so also wrong. Does this require new settings for the image rotation & flip settings for PORTRAIT MODE as well?

-of course the in-call menu (android options) is not changed to portrait.

just nitpicking :) thx a lot again dude!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yeah, I did that on purpose.

I think it's better cutting off some of the image on the edges, rather than having huge black bars up & down and be using 10% of the screen :D

This must be the issue with your ROM/phone.

Did you try both front and rear cam?

Yep, details.. :p

Skype on Coby Kyros mid7022

Hey BIG thanks for the Skype apk development. I have downloaded and used v10 and it works. Sounds like you have addressed some issues I had i.e., portrait sending video, and small to large screen toggle.

The only other issue I have is that my sending video has blocks of faded color, shades of gray and light green. I have moved my color setting to Mono so now I am broadcasting in black and white. Its better, but full color would be awesome.

I am running 2.3.3 on a 7 inch Coby Kyros tablet.

Great Job theos0o!
[Android Apps and Games] DuhDroid:
Is there a way to get outgoing/sending video color ? My camera has no issues with color snapshots or other video. Incoming video on Skype is in color though. I saw that one user in another forum had to uninstall your v10 before he could download the new version v11.

Do we all need to do this? I thought you previously said we could overlay the new version (v11 on top of v10) if we already ad your apk.
[Android Apps and Games] denisiel:
Hi - I installed the standard Skype 2.1.0.46 a few weeks ago but during voice calls (not using video) it kept crashing and an uninstall and reinstall screen kept popping up after each crash. After weeks of reinstalling and clearing data and cache, I wiped that version of Skype with Titanium Backup and installed your version 11 with the apk. But now Skype crashes every few minutes even without being in a call or chat. I see your Advanced Settings Tab so I know it is version 11.

I have an AT&T Samsung Captivate on CyanogenMod and all other programs work fine. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Correct.

You can install the newer version, without uninstalling, if you're running one of my previous builds.

Can you play a bit with advanced settings and see if you can get color video?

Try "Use valid preview surface" etc.

There have been reports about this.

All of them were from CM users.

No idea. :(
[Android Apps and Games] eezdva:
Hey I almost want to kiss you hahaha. Portait calling. Wow :-)

One little thing on my SGS2 the volume is very low. Can't really hear the other person unless I use earphones. But for the rest it is flawless....
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Maybe audio is coming from the front speaker?

Did you try the in-call speaker toggle?
[Android Apps and Games] eezdva:
Not sure how to work that?? But will check it out.

Portrait calls with G-Sensor rotation in v11 !!!!! :eek:

Really great great job man !!!!

One million thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
So you love portrait that much, huh? :p

When in video call, press options key (the one on your phone) and then "Toggle Speaker"
[Android Apps and Games] foggydew88:
Oh yes! Phone handling is more confortable in portrait mode, and last but not last my car phone cradle is vertical :)

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
lol you know you shouldn't make a skype video call when driving :p
[Android Apps and Games] DuhDroid:
I have the "use valid preview surface" checked as well as "avoid setFPS" and "Force-enable video-calling" so all 3 are cheked.

If they aren't I have no video sending image at all. Color is still showing in in blocks of gray and green. I have also tried changing the color in the settings, but only the mono =black and white gives the best sending video picture. All the rest are color blocks. Let me know your thoughts about how I might get color video when sending

I did successfully overlay v11 on top of v10. Thanks.

v11 Portrait on an HTC Evo

Hi

I just tried out version 11 on my HTC Evo (HW version 003). The only advanced setting I have is to flip the video for both local and remote on my front camera. When I try portrait mode, my front camera image rotates (good) but it rotates in the wrong direction (bad). So, if I rotate my pone 90 to the upright portrait orientation, my picture is upside down.

Am I missing a setting, or is this a limitation of v11 on an Evo?

Enable/disable the flip video does not make a difference.

Before V11, my local image always did this, now with v11 (and portrait enabled), the remote image does too.

Thanks,

...Karl M
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@bayernfan94

If you want issues fixed please upload logs!

Enable "Enable verbose logging" in Advanced Settings, then get "catlog - logcat reader" from the Market, capture a log of a skype video call or whatever is not working for you and PM me with it.

@Karl M

OK, I'll add adjustable rotation for portrait mode in v12.
[Android Apps and Games] extralife:
seems, v11 needs more juice & a bit laggy in portrait-m.

portrait is ok, but i really don't need them - so i think, will go back to v10

btw great job :D

@cm7#91
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Why would you go back to v10?

You can just not use portrait.
[Android Apps and Games] extralife:
cause v10 did it very well

and ... also in landscape (v11) , colours, ~artefacts, bit laggy - so my first test

maybe a restart with changed settings will do the job - will see
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
even with portrait mode option enabled, when holding it landscape, frames are not changed at all.

but yeah, when holding it portrait there's a lot going on in the background so it may be slower ;)
[Android Apps and Games] iPAQ 6515a User:

Great work mate. Is there a way to make Skype remember the status after exiting?

Soemtimes I switch to 'do not distur' but when I restart Skype I am online again. Would it be possible to mod it so the status is remembered?

I have a LG Optimus One, I've been reading that the processor does not support video calls, and looking for other solutions to make video calls, I could make some in the program called iMovicha but their quality is not good to say, it may use some of that code to be implemented in Skype, thanks.

Samsung tab 10.1 does bot work

Hi, unfortunately I did not get it to work on my new Samsung tablet. I installed v11 and got the advanced tab, where I can set it to forced support the two cameras.

Then when i restart Skype it gets as far as the login screen. It tries to login to Skype without asking my password and then goes back to the homepage.

the Samsung uses Android 3.1 Honeycomb with a Tegra CPU.

Why? What s the problem with tegra? It is really sad to have a tablet with front camera and no Skype. There ist also a video where nvidia shows Skype on a tegra tablet....so why is it not working? Skype answer is that they're not satisfied with the quality. Can somebody explain to me?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
This has been explained many times.

Skype video libraries use ARM NEON feature/instruction-set to speed-up processing.

But, it is not available on Tegra processors! :(

So we have to wait for a newer release with Tegra support.

That's all.

Finally! It works on my TCC8803/EM73 tablet!

The only problem is the video from my webcam is weird. It's the same quality I see Gtalk and on Qik, just not sure what it does it. I'll see if I can do a screenshot attached.

Ignore the black box at the top right (and my bad hair), that appeared when I left the app to start the screen shot program. It's the image quality from my webcam that's I'm trying to fix. It's hard to see in the image, but what it actually looks like is similar to an Andy Warhol painting with the big image being overlaid with 4 semi-transparent images.

Image quality is great using the built-in camera app, but from webcam programs it looks terrible. I've tried a few different resolutions and they all look the same. Any suggestions?

Nexus S Video Problem

Since I'm a noob, I take brevity seriously.

Hope I can get solution. Using v11 up-to-date.

Front camera video works (I can see myself) until my contact answers the call -- then it switches to audio. Caller doesn't get "answer in video" option. Tried pushing video button to switch from front to back, but nothing happens. Call is only audio. Using Wi-Fi.

Under Advanced Settings I had originally checked only Keep Screen Alive, Prefer fullscreen incoming, and I got this problem.

Then I checked Force-enable video-calling, Force-enable both cameras, Avoid setFPS, and Use valid preview surface. Still same problem.

Nexus S. Android version 1.2.4. Baseband version I9020AUCKD1. Kernel version 1.6.35.7-ge382d80, android-build@apa28#1. Build number GRJ22.

(Under Skype Forum this particular version -- Rogers Canada -- is said not to work with the Skype version. I was hoping that your version might.)

Thanks for creating your version. Hope you can help!
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
I did, but during the first seconds when the call is made, the loudspeaker is still on and after a while it becomes completely dead (seems to route the sound to the ear speaker, but I get no sound at all). And after ending the call, there's a strange sound coming from the loudspeaker.

If you want, I can send you a logcat. Just tell me what you need.

There have been a big problem with Backflip in your every build.

Okay, I touch restart skype and it says logging in. After couple of seconds it goes to Launcher Home and in the notification bar I can see the Skype icon-connecting, **** happens. After this If I try to log in again, same thing happens. Then can't even use skype. So this is really annoying and BIG disappointment in every instal:mad:. Could you please help me?

Skype Video Send color

I have the same problem you have. I have a Coby Kyros 7" tablet running 2.3.3

Skype works fine but has the color blocks you have with the send video.

Here is the only thing I found to get the best quality send video:

Advanced Settings==> Camera Settings===>Back Camera===>Color Effect===> mono

This changes your sending video to black and white. Its much better than the gray/green color blocks.

G'day another noob here - but I've done my homework I think....

I've installed Skype_2.1.0.46_v11.apk on my wifes SGS I9000DVJP9 - Build DVJP8 (Telstra Australia) - and I'm still getting the black screen on video calls. Also, I note that a) the advanced settings icon is still the "?" and b) when I hit it, the skype crashes....(and clearly I can't get into the advanced tab).

And BTW - I had a problem de-installing Skype - got a "insufficienct space" message on the next install - which is utter BS. I found a directory .. /data/data/com.skype.raider - that had to be deleted following a root and using super user privelideges .... many people quizzing skype on their forums - but with a name like that - methinks maybe it's your version? or am I wrong.

All that said - I'm running your Skype on my SGS2 and it's a beautiful thing, thank you.
