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!

Hi!
on the i9000 i found out that there is a function in libaudio.so for call recording.
I'm not an expert which jni. So what would i need to use the class from within a dalvik / java program.
My idea is to test the class for call recording on the i9000.
Any help appreciated.
(I managed to compile a working kernel, but i didn't manage to compile a running arm binary neither with the CodeSourcery nor the gnu toolchain in the android sdk)
------------
Update:
Thanks to titooo7 et.al. call recording is now working using the libs and phone*.apks from the i9088.
http://db.tt/q0sfueP
thanks for nothing.
i fixed the dynamic linker problem with gcc/ld parameter.
So, any good news for us mortals? Are you planning to do an app with a proper call recording?
i was partly successful. For now, call recording works only with the headset attached.
but there won't be an app for call recording. It will be more like a patch.
I would really need feedback from people telling that recording works with their firmware versions to go in depth.
That's awesome! Great progress! I wish I could help but I don't have the slightest clue about Android development. Would love to have a working call recorder though! I'd gladly send a beer or two your way too.
P.S. - I'd love to help you out with testing if you need.
Call recording would be great! I remember a while ago spending weeks looking for a call recording app, but nothing! Even my ancient Sony Ericsson had call recording...
I'll be watching this thread
There is an application, called Total Recall that should let you record your phone conversations.
My experience with similar app is that I am recorded fine but the other side is barely heard. I think OP is working on a direct recording from line in.
I'll be happy to beta test anything too.
Please don't get me wrong. I will for sure release a version for testing.
But at first i would need the firmware versions of people who claim that call recording (with 3rd party apps) works on their phones.

Among all apps I have tried, only one of them recorded successfuly both sides of the conversation. I don't remember the app and I don't remember which firmware I had (sorry). The only thing I remember is that it was a 14 or 15 dial trial and the app "draw" a (movable) circular button on top of the phone app. In order to recall the current conversation this button had to be pushed.
I am currently using Doc's JPY firmware. If I can help with some tests, I will be glad.

None of the countless apps I've tried has worked for me. What they all do is, record whatever is input through the mic, just like any other sound recorder app. For this reason, only your side of the conversation is recorded. Or both sides if you use speakerphone.

Can you please check to see if the app is called Call Recorder | TR Demo by Killer Mobile? This is the one with a 14 days trial, and the description says it works for Samsung Galaxy (Android 2.2).

No it's not. That's one of the most popular ones and one of the first ones I tried, because that's what I was using on my old Symbian Nokia 5320. Unfortunately it only recorded one side of the convo, like every other app I tried.

That application works on my phone. It records both me and also the people I talk with.
It worked on JP7 (which should be identical with JPA/JPO).

does it work without speakerphone?
I am using an app called CallRecorder, it records me fine and the other side very silent(yet clear enough to understand what he's saying).
I am on a custom hebrew rom, based on jpo I think.
merry xmas.
Just installed and unibstalled the Total Recall Call Recorder app, again. Tried with all the settings, and while some (Recording Strategy A) work one sided (the other side is very faint - only whatever manages to get through from the earpiece to the mic), some settings (Recording Strategy B) fail completely and keep crashing the app all the time. I'm on JPX.
Like I said, I'm yet to come across an app that does recording directly from line in.

Have you tried downloading it via the market website?
Try this link and sign in with your google account.

You don't get app with wrong phone model. that app will tell you that your phone is not supported. So download Apk from xda.
Update: It doesn't work on SGS2. I can start it, chat, but connection brake on Voice calls. And video call doesn't work at all.
Anyone was able to video chat with skype? It states the program supports GSII, but no option for video available.
THanks.
Mike
It works in mine, I'm using a hacked version tho, the name of the app is Skype_2.1.0.46_v11, look it up in the known places
I'm using the official Skype from the market. You have you to enable video chat under settings.
It works fairly well. I hope this helps.
yea but i hate this skype app really buggy they need to add epic touch support

It won't let me select the "enable video calling" option on skype. It is just greyed out. How did you guys select it?

I go to download Skype from the market and it tells me my device isn't compatible, both on my phone and from my laptop.
I'm sitting 3 feet from a coworker that's Skype chatting with a friend on her E4GT. Did they change something?

I think the app is a little buggy right now so that might be the issue.
In the first video we saw a feature to record the screen and sound making a video.
But now nobody have this feature on their phones?
I am missing anything or samsung finally removed this feature?

I was looking forward to this feature, sad to see it's not available.
The thread linked below goes into a bit more detail about it (not much more detail). It may come in an OTA... I'm guessing the kinks they are working out, as mentioned in that thread, is the ability to block the recording or movies from Netflix, and Play Store Movies, etc.

Same issue as call recording or camera shutter sound then I would guess. Can be enabled using the csc feature method maybe?
I would be interested in this feature to record skype calls, if thats how it works (ibhavent watched the video lol)
Maybe the feature can be extractd from one of the earliest ruu's? (If somebody knows what theyre doing there)

None of those apps will work without messing with the Android OS to circumvent the restriction on recording calls. They have made it very hard to get around. All these lame apps end up doing is turning on your speaker and trying to record from the ambient sound, which is really really crappy
Anyone figure this out. I found a few kernel hacks on xda, but the threads are all a year or two old and the links no longer point to existing download locations. Major thanks to this forum by the way! Couldn't have rooted my phone without you, and without root it was a paper weight after hardware keys died out.

I once had a good call recording addon when I used Jedi mindtrick ROM. I don't think you need the ROM to do it because it was from the Xposed Framework app. I activated and installed the app then scrolled down the downloads list and was able to find a phone recorder. When I installed it and reset the phone, it added an option to record phone calls to the phone menu. It saved the files to the SD card and they sound legit.
You probably know more about this stuff. Hope it helps!
