Skype v2.0.0.45 - hack possible to use videocall on SGS2?

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

That's not the point ...

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

Hate how this stupid app continues to spawn itself even after you exit it. Keeps restarting itself as a service!

Op! Please edit topic as SGS section has an around universal apk working on many nb devices including sgs 1 and 2.
Sent from my SGS running on MiUi 2.3.4 using XDA Premium App!

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!

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!

This one works. I've used it on my T989 and a cheap, low budget Galaxy Discover S730M. Works flawlessly on both

[HOW-TO]A way to solve the HW video playback problem of 4.3+

I am not good at English and I hope to express correctly.
Some people may suffering from HW video playback problem after upgrade GN to 4.3+.
Such as stutter or lag playing 720p+ videos with MX Player using HW+ decoder.
samples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403257&page=4
https://code.google.com/p/android/i...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=59020
I didn't have any problem with that and I thought someone must have figured it out.
But recently I tried to replace vendor files with 4.3 version(previously 4.2.2 version) and the issue occured .
Therefore I did some test and finally find the file causes the problem: /system/vendor/firmware/ducati-m3.bin.
Replace it with old version(example : https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=6E3D1F5C3B498D95!183&authkey=!AFiMOUXtt430Nrc&ithint=file,.bin) and it will be the same as 4.2.2.
BTW, GN with no ram modification in kernel is able to support AVC [email protected] .Please consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels
Now on to the network share I hope you can be helped to live.

Also will this have any other affect of the device?
Will it work with Note 3 Verizon version?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and I have the same problem with MX Player after upgrading to 4.3. Will this fix work on the S4 as well? I looked in /system/vendor and I do not see a ducati-m3 file there to begin with.

im pretty sure this driver is specific to the galaxy nexus/omap devices, so sorry bro i dont think it will work on ya beast of an s4 :|

does anybody still have H/W playback problems after applying the recent fix? H/W+ works great for everything i throw at mx player. but H/W is still broken, a bit less laggy now, but far from fixed.

Oh you're the man. Thanks very much. I tampered the kernel day by day but can't did anything. Thanks.

excellent, had always bothered me that bug
