This is a working skype video chat for the HTC EVO 4G
I installed this on five different Evo's and can confirm this app works! It might not work on 2.2 roms, but I've tried it on 4 different 2.3.3 roms (Fresh, Kingdom, Synergy, Philly Finest) give it a shot and don't forget to hit thanks if I've helped you!
If for some some reason you get phrasing error try downloading from a different browser, or try downloading from a computer and not your mobile device, but it should install without problems. If you have skype installed already please uninstall first!
There's two options for getting this app download here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7UA987T6
ZIP
They have released an offical version in the in the android market, its version number is 2.1.0.46, I will keep the original link up for those who want it.
Works great... just flashed on virus kingdom rom... and no complaints... thank you
just wanted to ask if all the problems that existed with the old skype still exist with this version?? mainly the battery drainage battery and the app not closing out like it should.
very nice ty ty
1+ Thanks here!

Well for all my video chat apps like, qik, tango, fringo, and skype, I go to running apps and kill the process, do this if your app will not close, I have never had to but that should close the app, now remember that you can also configure the settings with-in the app itself too. Optional= make sure in skype setting that close immediately is checked, uncheck skype status in notification settings, and probally uncheck sign in automatically.
Havn't used skype in a while. Has anyone tried this on android 2.3.4 (evo-deck rom)

I am on CM7 Nightly 141, and I can get video of them, and we can talk to each other, but they cannot see me. I tried both front/back cameras and got nothing.
It's Android 2.3.4. I'm running SZ CFS SBC enabled kernel.
Not working for me. I see my video come up when i call someone but as soon as they answer the video shuts off.
Edit: it works. Had to update my skype on my computer.
just tried using this on CM7 7.0.3.1 and I was able to see the person clearly...but my cam was blank...I couldnt see myself and they couldnt see me either....any suggestions?

Im not sure why it's not working, try clearing the app data, uninstall, reboot phone then install app again, I only tested it on the four roms listed in the the op, I havent used cm7 in a few months now, I've been switching between virus and synergy! Try the uninstall method first, if that doesnt work then try flashing a sense 2.3.3 rom!
I found a thread on the CM forums that linked me to a working version. I will post the .apk tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Hopefully that link works. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 143 (I believe it's 143), and I was video chatting with a friend with no issues for about an hour. Didn't notice any crazy barry drop either. Using RAM optimization script and the SZ CFS Kernel. Let me know how that works for you.

Getting a parse error. Should I be able to just install it from the file manager, or do I need to install it some other way?
It should install normally with a file manager. Let me get off my ass and upload it to Mediafire. Lol It may have been a bad upload.

Edit: A reboot was all I needed, it installed now.

In somewhat disappointing news, it looks exactly like the app pulled from the LG phone a while back. I was hoping to see a bit more flash/streamlining.

This was an app my wife used on her moment to flash the lights across the bottom. I could have sworn that I tried it when i first bought my evo and it didn't work. Well I tried again today and tada!
The reason behind needing it is that I can't see the led from across the room even with the wimax notifier. Now it gets my attention.
I have not tested the affect on battery yet. Or what roms it works with. Im on evokings shift need for speed rom now and it works. Please test and feedback.

I don't think its gingerbread related. The shift rom is 2.3.3. Try sending yourself a text but make sure you have the screen off or the box checked for screen on. Also cup your hands around the keys if its bright out as they are not bright. I have mine set to flash and thought it didn't work just now. Also have mine set to timeout after 1 hour.
I just tried it out on misfits speedy odex rom and it works ... thx for this!

With roms like pick n pack and heinz 57 I've gotten netflix to open but not play anything... seems like the newest version won't even open....
However, with MIUI it opens and plays without any trickery involved... you can even get off the android market if you are running MIUI.

The definitive answer? You basically need a gingerbread based rom to run it. It won't run on froyo based ones.

I was able to watch Netflix and Stream Media via DFGAS's latest Miui Rom. I am currently watching Iron Man 2.
Also working on CM7, as someone else said.
You can't download the app from the market, though. You need to download the apk...don't remember where I found it, but search around on here. The apk files have been posted in a few locations.
Annoying pop-up saying there's a new version, but it doesn't pop-up while playing, only while browsing.
Quality is excellent via WIFI.
Working on CM7 with one of the modded version from the netflix thread on the general android apps section. No annoying popups, just streaming goodness.

Try mu builds HERE that works with many froyo FFCs. If your Droid has the same FFC API as the other Samsung devices, it should work. I also keep adding more devices so if it doesn't work on you, maybe you can give me files from your devices so I can try to add it.

Just installed the latest version that you linked to onto my SAMSUNG DROID CHARGE running Humble 1.51.
I called someone on a MAC and the video did not work (not sure what version of skype client was used on MAC side). The call worked but the video option failed.
I called someone on Win 7 with the latest Skype version (downloaded over the weekend) and the FFC video worked fine. Did not try the back camera.

Running Froyo - Skype worked fine for me last Friday when I made a video call to my sister that lives in Australia. She was using her Apple laptop and I was using my Droid Charge. I also Skyped my buddy's iPhone4 with no issues.
I don't use Skype from the Market, I used the one that was posted around these boards. It works fine.
Is there a way to make this work? I've switched to mikfroyo so that the ROM is a 2.2, and i also tried the HDMwIn app from the market...I can get videos from the SD card and YouTube to work, but netflix won't work properly...sometimes the sound will come out, but no picture...
Does anybody know a fix to this? I searched netflix hdmi, but it only pulled up some other ROM threads...

Or maybe tell me how to fix whatever may be occuring, as long as I can do it over the phone, cuz my computer is a paperweight at the moment cuz of a cracked screen...

I am a noobie to things here, but i have been rooted for some time now and I do alot of reading to learn things from xda. I was also having this problem with both my wife and my EVO. Both are rooted and are running r3charged final. They both use golden monkey kernels. And the problem is in the kernel. So I did a lot of reading up on this, as i always do and found that chopsuye v.9.1.7 will allow you to use hdmi. I have tested it myself and its works the best. Hope this helped.

Could be a number of things really. My wife runs Synergy(Myn's) on 2.3 with the HDMwIn app and the recommended kernel and its perfect. When you first open the HDMwIn app it tells you to download some daemon add on, did you? When i tried without that it didnt work. Also, it recommends a custom kernel in the app t0o and even has a link. Thats the one i use and it works perfect. Keep in mind though that this is all on Android 2.3, maybe you should update.........
I actually had her on a 2.3 ROM and I downloaded the daemon and it did not work, but I didn't do the kernel because I noticed that the HDMwIn app said that it probly won't work on a 2.3, so that's why I switched to a 2.2, but i haven't done the kernel yet, that will be my next move, its just taking me a lil bit as her phone is not my priority...

I would suggest FEARMEde if you don't want the Bliss look. Hybrid is being updated tomorrow, FEARMEde has already been updated.
MikG is a close second.
Word of advice: mount "Data" in "Mounts" section of Amon Ra before flashing the kernel. Newer Sense ports are delicate with that for some reason. I always do it now.
Edit: Hybrid and FEARMEde are both updated now. And they are awesome.
