Hey, there's a much needed skype update out enabling video calling. However the new version, Skype v2.0.0.45, only allows/enables video calls on Nexus S, HTC's Desire S, and the Xperia Neo and Pro.
Any chance to hack it to work on the SGS2?
ETA: Sorry forgot to add [Q] on the thread title...
would be awesome, here's the apk if someone wants to try out, everything works except videocalling.
I dont know why it is just for 4 devices , the GS2 has the best front camera on a smartphone , i wish they will hack it like google talk .
waiting for a Dev to speak

hi,
Im no developer, but I've extracted this skype .apk file attached above and i found a file classes.dex, which contains something like this:
{white:[{name:"HTC Saga", mft:"(?i)HTC", board:"(?i)saga",model:"(?i)HTC saga", product:"(?i)htc_saga", device:"(?i)saga"},{name:"HTC Desire S", mft:"(?i)HTC", board:"(?i)saga", model:"(?i)HTC Desire S", product:"(?i)htc_saga", device:"(?i)saga"},{name:"Nexus S", mft:"(?i)samsung", board:"(?i)herring", model:"(?i)Nexus S", product:"(?i)soju", device:"(?i)crespo"},{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown", model:"(?i)MT15[ai]", product:"(?i)MT15[ai]_.*", device:"(?i)MT15[ai]"},{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown", model:"(?i)MK16[ai]", product:"(?i)MK16[ai]_.*",
I don't have any idea will it help to hack it in any way, but really hope so

Op! Please edit topic as SGS section has an around universal apk working on many nb devices including sgs 1 and 2.

Just installed on LG O2X: it keeps Force Closing. too bad. I saw that there was an other, older version. Gonna try it.
EDIT
well none of above versions work on mu O2X: when hit the camera button, the screens goes in landscape (still, the autorotation is disabled).
When firstly making a skype call and then hitting the video buttn, the application FC. so, so bad :-(
i use version from villainrom.co.uk and video calls on my sgs2 works great switch between camera too

Download Gemini apps manager from market and remove from autorun all system events like on boot completed, on connectivity change, on package install, etc.
Don't touch unknown events (usually uppercase) or it won't work unless you see it still active and remember that this way you won't be able to answer incoming call when program is closed (that's why it keeps reopening)

How do you enable video? I've installed it, but there's no option for video call... only the regular.
Edit: nevermind that: I uninstalled the previous first, and after the first force-close, the second time it worked fine. Awesome job. Thanks pulser!

Hmm... There's a new update available in the Market: 2.0.0.47
I took lots of video at my Nephews Bday party during weekend finding long charge times though out the week.,,,,like 4.5 hours to full charge.
I did some searching around leading me to Video Player being the culprit
Some explanation:
When device is put on charger Stock Video Player becomes active Transcoding is constantly running video thumbnails in background cranking up cpu.
If you have large video files , movies etc app is working harder and with that comes slow slow charge.
For the fix I made edit to TranscodeReceiver.smali applying return-void to (const-string v1, "android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED")
With this modification app sleeps until you wake it.
How to Install:
No need the clear cache.
Make back up.

Right on well it has nothing to do with his rom......Its the Sammy Video Player,apk , sometimes it plays nice & sometimes not cycling stored video when charging.
Ive come across long charge days in the past but never really caught my attention until hours of video was stored on device.
4.5 hour charge was a wake up call for me . Why in the heck Sammy has Video player run in background when charging device is beyond me....pretty stupid on their part really.
S3 owners have been dealing with this issue for sometime reporting bad results , long charge time & bricked device due to overheat when charging.
Luckily are device is rock solid no major overheat issues reported so were safe on that front.
As far as ICSP The current base is same as CR4.9 so all is good.
I do plan on updating theme but pretty busy building rom for it now.
Like to report that I installed this mod and it has changed my charging times dramatically. My charging times have been very slow since installing CR4.9 and now after the install my charging time is faster than it has ever been. Big thanks to sling for his mod! :good:
HEY asling I got a question my w8fe has a s3 that her video player keeps playing in the backfground and watchdog alerts her 2 or 3 times a day about video pkayer. Will this mod work for her s3?

Would freezing the Samsung app fix the issue and just load a different app from the play store for video. Just curious.

freeze it? If you mean disabling app that's not possible.
If you stop app in running apps it will restart when charging.
You could rename app using root explorer....something like VideoPlayer.apk.NA
Such edit will make app absent.
Best bet install OP version & install secondary app from playstore if wanted

Sorry I mean like Titanium Backup you can freeze apps or uninstall them useing the app. I should have been more specific. But by removing it or freezing should solve the issue correct?

TB freeze should get the job done.
Give it a go & plug into charger , If app doesn't show itself in running apps your good.
From my understanding, the videos are being transcribed so that there are animated GIFs that play in the "Thumbnail" pane. If all videos are transcribed to their respective GIFs, wouldn't the long charge time go away?
i noticed slow charging with cleanrom, however when i flashed saber kernal
the charging goes back to fast
just an fyi

DMC3 kernel has some charging flaws.

the stock htc sense messaging app is too slow. Its so slow that it has become almost unusable . ive read that replacing it with a third-party sms app solves the issue. this didnt work for me when i tried handcent, chomp, pansi, and about 4 others which i dont remember now. i deleted all my messages and i had LITERALLY 1 text message and it took 5 seconds to open the thread.
any solution to this problem will be much appreciated..

You need to change everytime before upload status video or you try wA tweaks application there is a major option .
Soory for late reply?

Too early to tell whether it did anything to the cell standby issue. Could be placebo effect and/or wishful thinking, but I feel like auto brightness is less aggressive on the dimming than before....

Have you checked yet to see if you have an "advance messaging" in your messaging app under it's options?
Have a great day!
Under settings in messaging I don't see that option but there is a option for "share typing indications" & "send read receipt"
The messaging features are useless to me, as is the video calling. Why do we need carrier and device specific features that duplicate apps such as Hangouts and FB messenger, which are cross-platform and carrier agnostic? The short answer is we don't!! Waste of investment by TMO if you ask me.

I don't ever see Apple allowing TMO to bake in video calling into the native dialer, so I doubt it will ever truly be cross platform. It's just a completely unnecessary feature to implement on the carrier level. Same with advanced messaging. There are plenty of globally adopted messaging platforms that handle video and advanced messaging just fine. These features will never be widely utilized by the carrier's user base until they become network independent.
I like the advanced messaging so far since I have older family members that only use text messaging and don't use hangouts or other services. Now I can see if they read my messages etc... which is convenient. Same goes for the video calling. They use it since it's baked into dialer. ☺
