How soon do you think it will be before Skype with Video gets ported over to the EVO? The Nexus S guys already got it...
I want this too...

I think its as easy as tricking the system into beliving we have a nexus s just as it was for others when the netflix released for only certain htc devices.
If we could just get the nexus s build.prop and change our device name to what theres is i think it would work. anyone have a friend with a rooted nexus s and rootexplorer installed to check it out and post the device name ???

I'm no expert but I do not think it is that easy. If it was it would have been done back when the one for the thunderbolt came out. There is already a thread for it HERE (not Evo specific). If you look at the last page or 2 it is referencing the one that was just released.
Looks like someone confirmed this works on the evo. I did try making a call myself but the other person didn't answer so I cannot confirm it works 100% but it appeared to work fine.

This is working on my EVO. Someone posted a patched APK. I think in the Nexus S forums. Anyhow, works on EVO Shift, S, S2 etc.
I never made an actual video chat but the window loaded up and video was showing via the front cam.
Try it out...
I tried this but the other person couldnt see my video. I could see ny video on my screen but when they enabled their video, mine went black and they couldn't see me.

Can someone please upload the apk? I can't download that rar from my zoom. Thanks.
I can comfirm this patched apk works with video !! I have been waiting for this a long time !!
in the android market, download a file manager and then extract it to a folder on your android phone... and then the apk will show up and hen install it.
sorry this is a reply to qpstatus
skype2_0_45.rar worked for me. One thing though is that until I updated my Mac client to the dreaded 5.1 (user interface fail) from 2.8, video was not working -- when the call started, the video button on the Mac side would actually get grayed out. 5.1 works just fine. Makes me wonder what version is required on the Windows side to be compatible with the Android client.

That doesn't help. The issue is that when I try to download attachments via XDA from my stock browser on my Xoom or Evo it won't download successfully. The download gets to 100% and says unsuccessful.
For some strange reason it does let me down .apk's successfully.
Force close on Evo 4G.. "The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Boo :/
*edit, I just read that video chat only works on 2.3(?).. sorry, but I'm not changing ROMS just to use Skype*
Having issues with video calling - my front camera is not picking up any video. Tried lowering the quality and connecting 4G,Wif,3G all with no success - it's just a black screen on my end - and the spinning circle on the far end.
Anyone have any suggestions?
empty zip?
I seem to be haveing the same problem as gqstatus0685. The zip seems to be empty cannot extract anything from it... running latest stock odexed sense rom likely user error will keep working on it. let me know if anyone has any solutions..
Here's a link to the direct .apk -- just download and install.

I can confirm this works 100% on my EVO running Kings 7.3 ROM. I have tried from EVO to EVO and EVO to PC.
How do I install this after downloading...sorry I've never installed a patched apk before. Please explain. Thanks.

Just navigate to the file with Astro or File Manager and click on it. Make sure you have "Allow install from unknown sources" checked (Settings >> Applications >>). Should install after a double click.

I wonder if Cyanogen is causing my error?
EDIT: Flashed King's 7.3 - works great... Gonna try a few other ROMs to see what happens. At the moment Cyanogenmod's 7 - "update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic" does not allow my video to go through. Will update with further testing.
I cant seem to get my ##778# to work again now. Running DBAMF 1.8 and 1.8.6 its a no go. Its an HTC process, cant stop it or clear anything from it.
Maybe its part of the framework? Ive flashed a couple of the dbamf remix stuff as well, cant really confirm when it started happening after the main rom install.
Anyone running DBAMF roms want to try it for me?
no it dont work gingerbean and stock rom both worked for me

I have a rooted evita running 1.73 with stock HTC sense. I also have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 tablet. I am unable to share files using WiFi Direct. I can connect fine but can't find the WiFi Direct option when trying to share from say, gallery. I have looked on Google and others seems to have this problem, but no solution is offered. I've looked here and can't find a suitable thread. Does anyone here know why this isn't working?
Update: Since I've started using CM 10, I've had no problems.

look for task manager app and verify if it is in the backgroud.
youo can use tibackp also to look for it in the system.
Hello,
I tried rooting my HTC One S but that didn't go as expected. I used this but it failed and now a lot of apps are force closing on me. I have no idea what happened. Anyways how do I restore the stock ROM? I am really new to this device so I have no idea where to start.
I am in Belgium (Europe) so I'd like to keep that firmware. I had created a backup using the backup thing from adb? (idk it asked me for a backup and I could add a password if I wanted).
I really hope I can fix this :/
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: I noticed the device is going really slow (animations and such). Buh
I used an RUU to fix everything. Much easier than using Odin on my old Galaxies. Sweet!

The link you posted is blank. What ROM did you install?
I had the issue with the PAC-man ROM using 4.3.
I didn't flash any ROM, that's why I find it so weird.
I used some one click root method because I knew these worked on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700 as well. I guess I was wrong.
