Skype with video calling!! UPDATE: now officially supported on the market. - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

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.

Works great! Awesome find! Thanks for this!

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.

NFL mobile app

So a couple weeks ago someone gave me the NFL mobile app that apparently only Verizon phones use. I ran it perfectly until tonight it wouldn't start up because I'm not on Verizon service. Is there a fix to this? If not does anyone hve the Sprint NFL apk because mine opens then automatically closes. Thanks

WOW hope someone helps you looks like no one has the answer... did you try to google it or look in the android themes and apps forum. People may not be helping you because they dont think you did any research...IMO
good luck though
Do a 'Search This Forum' and search NFL. Have it show posts. You'll fine one with a nflusa apk to install. I hope this helps!
KP
Try going to manage applications and clear the data for the app...or uninstall it and reinstall it..
Here is the post for the nflusa.apk to download. It is the first post there...

[Q] Oovoo

So i downloaded oovoo from the market only to find that its not supported on the Infuse. And their site doesnt have it as an upcoming supported device either. How hard would it be for someone to get it to work on the Infuse? And who wants to do it? Id be forever grateful and im sure a lot of others would as well.

If you're rooted, you can change the build.prop file. (/system/build.prop)
Change the line ro.product.model=samsung SGH-i997 to
ro.product.model=SGH-T959V (no samsung in front) then reboot, it should work.

It randomly logs me out sometimes when I don't know why but I just deal with it. OOVOO says they're developing for the infuse on their page, but I'm just gonna use this until then.
Ok, this is my first time using oovoo. So this is not normal? Its supposed to stay connected all the time and thru data changes?
I think qik is better. Its always ready to receive as long as its not killed

No official skype app that is working. Hacked app, maybe. Oovoo has been working with froyo and the v21e update. Also, build.prop hack works.

I am on 2.3.3 latest 'official' build as released by LG the other day. The hacked Skype loads and installs ok, and works ok once you don't try to set it up to use video. Once you do, it just keeps closing.
I would LOVE to have the Skype video working, as I use it often. The only other issue that I have with Skype is that even with synch turned off, it keeps loading itself and connecting. WHY? Grrrr.... can anyone give me a setting to stop this?
In GB 2.3.3 of course!

You might want to try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wetcarrot.stopskype
I have the same issue and even if you force stop Skype, still restart itself. They need to fix that! I would suggest sending an e-mail to developers.

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.
