Correct, the Youtube video link and pics came from badablog.ru. However here is where it gets interesting. The Skype.rar java app you have listed, which I have downloaded and installed myself is not the same "Skype" in the video or pictures. It looks no different than dozens of other java skype apps I've downloaded in the past. Watch the video again, or look at the pictures, and then install Skype.rar and you'll see what I'm referring to. In the pics, it appears to be a native bada version, or at least a new touch screen java app. In reality the app has the java menu at the bottom and none of the menu screens line it. Maybe it's a very early version of the 3 UK Skype, but I don't think so. It has a fancy filename "3UK_021-samsung-touch-no-fake-minimize-jsr211-480x800-i64x64.jar" but apart from that it's an old version of skype.

Sadly the java app inside of the Skype.rar file is not the "3" version of Skype we all want. So the search continues. If we can get the app, then we can go about removing the restriction of only being able to call other "3" phones.

Aye, it's a java app, but it's not "the" version of Skype that is feature in the youtube video and pictures.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sonalswaroop:
Why do you think so...?? I installed it and it looks exactly as it looks in the video....

You need to disable virtual keyboard and fit to screen to make it look like the one in the video.............
[Bada Software and Hacking General] KrazyKong:
I wasn't able to find the same menus as what I saw in the video. Thanks for the tip on disabling the virtual keyboard, I didn't' know that was independent of an app. I always got it on old java apps, but new ones it wasn't present.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] ho1od:
It is "3" version of Skype. It was extracted from cellphone, with help of STune AppEx -> User -> Java -> Games -> Skype

It is original video

_ttp://forum.mobile-review.com/showpost.php?p=2619170&postcount=30714

It is original .rar

[Bada Software and Hacking General] sonalswaroop:
You get those menus after signing in.... which can only be done under '3' network.... In the starting you see that after the guy opens up skype it says signing in.... Thats cuz he has saved hi username and password in skype in his phone.... The program also gives us an option to save it..... But first we need to be able to login to save the username and password!!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
you can't install it directly from the jad file either you will have to remove the certificate key from it or you will just install it from the jar file

after some digging in a vodafone branded firmware i found certification keys that the system use to make sure that it is installing a valid app

one of these keys was call vodafone.crt or something like

so i think it is security issue right now not a branding issue
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sonalswaroop:
So no ones interested to really do this??? I have checking by this page every 10 mins or so expectin a lot of development to be goin around.....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] KrazyKong:
Well I'm not a programmer myself, but I do like to look inside files and try and see what makes them tick.

If this app signs into the "3" servers then we got out work cut out here. But if maybe we can find the login url or details, maybe we can change this to make it login to skype directly.

This is just the start though. It took long enough to get ahold of these files, so I'd be patient and see what happens from here on out.

There is another Skype-java application that works with WIFI on the WAVE. It is not free, but there is a trial you can try. However, there are a few problems. Something is wrong with the fonts, look too small and ugly. I also haven't been able to make a call with the trial - only chat! Here is the link:

[Bada Software and Hacking General] satocd4:
Yup, nobody seems really interested in getting their hands on skype :(

I did some research, trying to compare two .jars, one from the alleged "three.uk" skype app, the other from a generic "skype lite" .jar application.

I think I found some interesting things:

1. images: the Three skype app has got many more .png's in its .jar package than its generic counterpart. these include numbers, as if there was an actual possibility to dial phone numbers through a keypad. the other .png's were basically the usual sets of skype icons.

2. size: the Three skype app is much bigger in size than the generic counterparts. this is due to the increased number of .class files packed in the .jar archive.

3. login info: the generic (aka Skype Lite) contains two sets of info regarding servers to log into ( http . sd . skype . net:80 and dir . sd . skype . net:9010; infos contained in file cg.class), whereas the Three skype app only contains one (pointing to staging . sd . skype . net:9010; infos contained in file ic.class)

4. branding info: in the Three skype .jar archive there is another file (not found in the generic .jar), called "oco" and with no extension, containing an url to http : / / mobile . three . co . uk / 964_login /login; this might be important.

5. certificate: i tried to run the app through a java emulator, but the emulator is kinda "picky", only supporting installations via the .jad file. Too bad the certificate contained in the .jad is not recognized by the emulator, so I cannot really give the app a try. Unfortunately, installation through .jar is not supported.

I am also trying to open the app through the Java ME SDK, so far with no luck.

I think this can be a piece of cake for someone who can use the SDK (me being a complete newbie).

Thank you!

PS: in order to view url's correctly, you should remove all the unnecessary spaces from the address.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sonalswaroop:
Good job mate!! But now that samsung has officially allowed voip apps in the store I dont think we are actually gonna get any leads with this.... Now its just the wait for the companies like skype and fring to release their apps to the bada app store.... Lets just hope for the best....!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] satocd4:
Let me go a bit off the topic for a moment...

The point is: how long are we going to wait until companies like skype or fring start developing apps for bada? Then, how long before those apps (if they'll ever get really developed) will be ported to lower spec'd bada phones?

As of today, the only chat apps we can use on our phones are java-based, and text-only, as no voice support is implemented yet: this makes our beloved, "smart" phones no different from cheap and much simpler "feature"(dumb) phones; isn't this unbelievable at all?

There's a lot of disappointment among bada users (and bada-phone owners) about the way samsung is (not really) developing its OS: poor and delayed upgrades (Italy got Bada 1.2 for higher-spec'd Waves only a couple of days ago), lack of decent apps in the store (compared to iOS or Android, for example), and so on.

Not even an official Google Maps app out! Bada users have to rely on an old (and modded, thank god) java app...

I understand Bada is such a young OS, but without a real kick in the right direction it's going to be deceased soon.

Back on the topic: I still hope someone can lend a hand on this Skype matter, because I fear this will be the only solution for low-spec'd Wave phones.

Moreover, I'm sick and tired of waiting for some piece of software other smartphones support almost "out-of-the-box"; my two cents: the sooner the better!

So, let's just cooperate and try to sort things out, we can do it!

Thanks.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] charsi:
I actually got the skype for three(uploaded on the["ttp://badablog.ru/samsung-bada-pochti-polnotsennyiy-skype/"] russian forum) working on my unbranded wave from India. I am in the uk and on three's network.

I first tried installing via jar, it installed fine but skype wouldn't login. Then i uninstalled it and tried installing via jad but got the certificate error. To get around it i opened the jad file with notepad and removed the certificate info. After installing from jad file it works perfectly. I can see the online contacts and mssg them, call them. I dont have call out for skype so i couldnt test if calling a number works.

in-coming calls come from 0783833360 so i don't know who is calling me until i can recognize the voice or the caller tells me.

out going calls go via 07838333601. There is a small glitch in the outgoing system. It might be because i am not running 3's firmware but when i call a contact it tries to call "07838333601; call type = skype; skype id = xxxxx" but this call always fails.

If after trying this i directly call 07838333601 i get connected to the contact i was trying to call last!

This version keeps me logged in even if i quit the application and the incoming calls still come thru.:) Calls to 07838333601, 07838333600 are obviously free.

The download from 3's website wasn't working because it checks for certificate and did not allow me to save the jad/jar files.

so where is the magic????

does we need a H3G sim card to get it to work

thats bad

Hello,

I wonder about so much inexperience. Just in this forum here.

-Charsi- is on the right way.

On the right way for Skype on Three, but not Skype as we expect.

The same discussion about Skype on Three I saw in 2010 on other places.

If someone would read the Three pages carefully, they would see it's let me say a fake.

h_t_t_p://ask3.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBISAPI.DLL?St=92,E=0000000000002150690,K=3127,Sxi=4,T=CaseDoc,varset_SkypehelpbckDisp=1,varset_Catid=1245,Case=obj(1266) [Remove the _ between the http letters]

It works well for Tree users (you need an Pay Monthly or Pay As You Go account)

In fact, by using Skype on Three Tree-user will get an ordinary GSM connection to a specific Tree Server how handles all requirements to direct you to Skype connection.

So it's a special Three solution and deal with Skype.

"... but because we've worked with Skype to create a special mobile service, we can offer it all for free. ..."

All this is known since mid of 2010.

Skype/ VoIP on BADA?

Has anyone seen any new code about these in BADA SDK ?

No, there is just an (mysterious) announcement.

Why should Samsung make such an announcement without offering first solutions?

All rumours in the past were talking about secret work in this direction.

Nothing thru, just wishes.

Be sure, no Skype / VoIP in 2011.

My suggestion, do it as I did.

I placed Swarovski Crystals on my S8500 and got it to my wife.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] wilmervanheerde:
Thnx for the source, i will take a look at it where it connects to the '3' server.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] wilmervanheerde:
Searched the whole source, and found some interesting urls
[Bada Software and Hacking General] wilmervanheerde:
The app uses the Skype servers, no '3' servers:

this.jdField_a_of_type_ArrayOfJavaLangString = new String[] { "dir1.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir2.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir3.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir4.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir5.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir6.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir7.sd.skype.net:9010", "dir8.sd.skype.net:9010" };

Information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_protocol
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Taxidriver05:
Okay...

Obviously the solution should be rarely simple.

This App calls to a "special" Three-server.

but the other java-app, that works on bada should have also such an information in its source code.

The question is:

Where are these informations hidden.

It must be in one of the *.class-file.

It should be possible to transfere the connection infos from the working app to the new app.

Then this also should work for all other users but "3"-users.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] KrazyKong:
Yeah that does sound like a logical way to solve this.

Not sure if it's already like this, but if not it would be nice to make this java app a full screen one as well so no virtual keyboard being displayed. Worth trying at least.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Taxidriver05:
I think, the problem is, that the connection is established via a tunnel connection (e.g. VPN).

So this Connection should be deactivated and routed via rhe normal way.

You might stop being so excited about that, those strings are matching those available in a "Messenger" Field which you can add to any contact record in your Wave's adressbook. Maybe Samsung was predicting that Skype or Jabber clients would hit the Samsung Apps in near future, so the phone would get integrated with them, but that just didn't happen, and all that left of those predictions , are those badges.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Since you're obviously not within two weeks of buying the phone, you'll actually have to call customer service. The stores don't do the warranty replacements.

As for your second issue, check the dev section, and there's a thread in there regarding going back to stock.

[HTC Aria General] melmelby:
I received an Aria as part of the migration from Alltel to ATT. Phone service will not be activated until sometime in April. Everything here is CDMA, not GSM.

The paperwork that ATT sent said to leave the phone off until I get the activation notice.

Well, I was anxious to play with it so I pulled the SIM, thinking that it would still function for everything except phone, and it seems to do fine. My thinking is that without a SIM, the phone won't be searching for service that doesn't exist, but I can still use apps dowloaded via Wifi. So far, so good.

I have been researching rooting and updating to Froyo.

Is this adviseable, or is it even possible, for a device not using a SIM?

If I am able to root then install Froyo, will something horrible happen to my Aria when April comes and I install the SIM?

Thanks in advance from an Android/SIM newb.
[HTC Aria General] ahm12:
no, go ahead and root it,

you should be fine if you root and install a custom rom.

just make sure that you don't get the stock 2.2 update from htc or at&t, because that will upgrade your phone and as of now, there isn't an exploit to root from stock 2.2.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
I don't know why no one has answered you yet, but you cannot replace the boot animation on stock samsung with a boot.zip. Stock Samsung uses a QMG file for the boot animation, to use a zip to replace the boot animation you must be on a custom kernel or ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
This. You need a custom kernel that supports custom bootanimation. Then you can change the bootanimation.zip provided in that kernel with the one you have.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
On a custom kernel that can support it, you just delete the old bootanimation.zip and copy a new one that is compatible in your rom/kernel, correct?
