Skype with video calling!! UPDATE: now officially supported on the market.

I didn't make this work, I take no credit for it. I just distribute it to the masses. I found this on the Galaxy Tab forum and thought if it works on my Tab, why not my phone too? So I tried and it does! The video freezes when you switch to the back camera but other than that its seems to work fine. Have fun!

Someone reported that this doesn't work on froyo. Apparently after installing this on froyo the legit version couldn't be reinstalled. So proceed with caution.
Someone found a link to get it working on froyo. I haven't verify it works because I'm not on froyo.

Tested on KF2, let me know if any other roms work

Can't get it to work, it tells me to reinstall Skype.

i'll check it out right now
UPDATE: First, i can't video call out, i have to receive it. Second, it forse closes when you try to answer with video. I'm running Bionix Black Ice and Bali 3.2UV. I would try Trigger but they're both KD1 based ROMs so i don't think it will change. I might flash KF2 just for this though.

Nope for me...
For me, on stock kd1 + root, it crashes skype as soon as I use video (initiate a video call, or touch the video icon). It won't receive video either when the other side starts their video.
PS: I already had skype installed (latest from Market), and even after uninstalling it would not install at first, giving a message about not enough available storage (even though there was plenty). The fix was to remove the /data/data/com.skype.raider directory that somehow was not removed when the app was uninstalled... The same was needed after uninstalling this one to go back to the Market version.

I noticed it's a GB only thing or are people successful on froyo? Based on the official update it looks like a GB only app. Still skeptical about the kf2 leak but this and netflix would be well worth it for me.

To answer my own question I have no luck on stock froyo.

[Q] Data stops until I go in and out of airplane mode, how do I fix this?

Data works great on this phone, except for the fact that several times a day, maybe once every 2 hours, the data connection simply stops working. I can get it back by putting the phone into airplane mode, and then back again, but nothing else works.
If I try to go to a web page when the data is out, I get redirected to some web2go thing telling me I should buy some plan.
In my Mobile Network Settings I have the "Enable always-on mobile data" but don't see anything else that might help fix this.
Anybody have any ideas of what is going on, or better yet how to fix it?

I don't have the answer to your actual question.
However, if you don't want the Web2Go page you can change the User Agent on your browser from Android to Desktop.

I occasionally have the same issue, though mine only seems to do it on the transition from wifi to cellular. Sometimes toggling airplane works, sometimes not. Mine has always done that even stock. Oh, and it still does it even on your rom, undeadk9.
One other issue i've noticed is the wifi calling icon will randomly disappear and come back in about 20 seconds. I've only noticed this on SOC3.6, I don't know if 3.5 had this issue as I was testing virtuous when that was the latest. It hasn't caused any issues like dropped calls yet, but just a concern that it may.

I didn't! I'm behind in the forums and I'm on an old version of your ROM. I'll go look for that and get myself updated to the latest.

Well, it turns out that didn't help. I installed v3.5.0 and v3.6.0 patch and then turned on the data and waited...
An hour or so later it happened again
If I go to the browser on the phone it redirects me to a page that says:

Well someone needs to hurry up and release the source already. Anyone wanna start a donation thread to encourage progress?

Yep..... t-mobile was the problem. Once I got through their first line of support and they opened "something that we call a trouble ticket", things got fixed up nice.
You know if we could nandroid backup our life, do a dalvik-cache wipe, battery stats wipe, we'd be set, except who would do the nandroid restore?

wif-fi calling apk

There are special libs that work with Kineto.apk. They are located in /system/lib, they are:
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
They all must be on the phone to make wifi calling work. Will they work flawlessly on her phone? I honestly don't know, but that's how it is on the G2x. I never even heard of that phone

I'll try pushing
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
into her system/lib folder and see what happens. Do i need to link these shared obj files or can i just place them?

You're aware that wifi calling only work on tmobile and the admire is not a tmobile phone, it will NOT work.

Yes i am aware that the wifi calling apk is for t mobile. I figured i might give it a try though and see what happens. Maybe thats a dead end. So, I have nettalk on her phone at the moment but it only works on out going calls and gives her a different number. I need something similar to t mobile wi-fi calling that allows her to keep her number? I am willing to buy from the market. One time fee though. Nothing like pay per call or credited accounts. Ideas?

Use Google voice, sign up from the web, it'll give you a phone number, that can be linked to her phone.

There is no way the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app will work for you. Regardless of if you can get the app to run on the phone, it requires specific support on the carrier side to work.

Yeah i have thought about doing that but from what I've heard, she gets assigned a GV number and is not able to keep her old one. It's like having a whole new number. then she would have to hand that out. Thats why i have been hesitant and left this as my last resort. But hey, something is better than nothing any day in my book!!
Or am i wrong? Does she get to keep/use her old one?
@andrewNY, yeah i was hoping that wasn't the case, thanks for confirming though!

You can set it up to keep both numbers, that's how I had it set up, only if you set it up to not replace the mumber.

There is one version that is actually working on SK4G. Found it somewhere here, on XDA, but can't remember original thread. Hope it's OK to post external URL here: http://xdjh.info/ftp/share/apk/skype_for_SK4G.apk
You need to set 'Use MODE_ON_CALL' in 'Tweaks', audio works fine with that. Both cameras works too. I've tested this software on RAGE firmware - everything works.

I'm having trouble using Wifi tether. When ever I try to connect I get an error that says "WTF!! Your phone is automatically shutting off the connection" lol it was pretty funny first time I saw it. The wifi tether signal still shows up on the devices I connect to but they don't register it. Is there any work around or fix? I used the roms codename and beam for this btw.

Im not supposed to wifi tether my device according to my new no cap contract so if that's important to you make sure you are aware of that when it comes time to renew or upgrade

I wouldn't say you guys are hated and or have alot of enemies.
Your merely misunderstood,and it doesn't help when there are the few with forked tongues that twist and manipulate what you say.
I see you two have some valid issues most of the time,but its hard to make your points when you are dealing with a mass amount of people that aren't educated enough to see them.

yea but before that you need to set up command prompts and downloading a jig file program with it and some other stuff. with odin there's no need to use command prompts, you just download the tar pit and csc files and flash away.
