Well, in the first (older) build I had removed a command which may be needed.
May have caused froyo showing video-call options, while they're not supported on it!
Can't confirm this, as I'm not running froyo.

just curious: how did you do this? you can't get source from compiled binary files.. does this program reads these informations from a file in the apk which is separately editable like az xml or something?

great work man, tried on galaxy s 2 and works fine, many thanks!

Yess! Brilliant .. I came on xda to see if any one had ported it for sgs .. And to my surprise I was not dissappointed! Downliading now...

You can decompile an APK and get some byte-code though, then recompile it.

Skype video working

Tested the APK and works.

got my file from here:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...-Video-Support-for-Various-Devices...?p=42265
tested it & yes it works

Did you guys have any problems? My video feed kept freezing, but I could see and hear other person though.

Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.

mine froze the first couple times. now it is fine.

We got the freezing issue too. Gonna keep testing it out

Which APK did you install? Or are they all the same? The stupid thing is that I don't even really use Skype at all. I just want it to work properly.

Video froze after 6 seconds.

I have the apk from the galaxy 2 forum and it works great in landscape and with the front camera. Is there any version that works with the rear camera and/or portrait?

2.3 is required for use of the FRONT camera. It will work on 2.2 ONLY utilizing the back camera, which makes it diificult to have a video conversation.

I've been doing the skype mod to support more froyo FFCs even before Skype released version 4.1.0.46 that officially supports 2.2 devices. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
I have a problem making the Optimus 3D FFC work and it's kind of hard to understand how to setup it up correctly. If is there is anyone who has an idea or know how to make the correct way of switching the camera (or better has the code), I'd be happy to add it to my mod so you can make use of your FFCs.

Try to update the version of skype on the other end. If that doesn't fix the problem, send me the logcat and I'll try to look at it.

the other end is fine, just installed today from Market (Xperia Mini Pro) and also tried calling my work PC (front and back camera's), tried rebooting phone etc
here's the log: http://db.tt/XHw83et
I've noticed screen rotation has stopped working on my phone since I installed Launcherplus yesterday, wonder if that's a problem? (altering the setting does nothing!) - [edit] just gone back to LG launcher but it still doesn't work

work for my O3D
thanks

OFFICIAL Skype video finally on Thunderbolt..with a catch

So Skype released a new update for a lot ore phones, the Thunderbolt is finally included in the video calling list. YAY, right?
Well if you read the description you find this: "On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera."
So you can video chat..but only with the rear camera...what good is that for video chat?!?

I don't understand their justification....on 2.2 I was able to use the leaked/hacked skype apk and the front facing cam worked fine

Exactly! It's total BS.

At least it's a start. Honestly, though, GTalk with video has been great.

where did you see this new release?
on the skype website?
nm found your quote on the market.
I just installed and tested it out w/ my wife vide/audio is working
currently running gbdebloat.
@bliang - does the gtalk video also have the same problem as skype where
you have to put the phone in landscape in order to fix the rotated video?

I get some kind of package error when installing on CM7.

Installed on CM7 but won't let me sign in or create a new account. However it keeps trying to start up with the cloud and sync circle in the notification bar. Even killed it and it just reappeared.

is that old skype apk that was working on stock still avaible?

Nevermind, i didnt have it enabled in the settings...
It does work in CM7 RC1.4 for me with the front camera.

Well you could always face the back camera to you and stand in front of a mirror/place a mirror in front so you can see the screen

well this is depressing. i've been waiting to use skype b/c most of the people i want to chat with don't have tango, fring or video gchat on their unrooted phones.

Skype install crashes my Infuse(stock unrooted)

When I try to intall Skype from the market it locks up my phone and then reboots. I am not rooted, and on the latest OTA update.
Is this because I am on 2.2.1?

Shouldn't be a problem. I downloaded Skype after the latest (UCKH1) OTA update, and it installs and runs fine (aside from its not using the front camera, of course). Also stock unrooted here.

I had the exact same issue with my first Infuse. I haven't tried it on this new Infuse yet.
By the way, I did find a video calling app that works better than all of the others and is also available in the iPhone: ooVoo
I don't bother with Skype, Tango, Qik or any of the others. ooVoo has all I need.

I've started using fring which works great on the Infuse....
Tango, qik, skype..... None of them worked for me...
