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

And ask all your contacts to move to it?
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
Time for some pwnage of this app methinks

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

You need to go to profile and sign out and it won't.
Cheers.
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!

Hi guys! It´s me again. Today i wanna show you, how you get the dialer to show up in landscape while on call.
Problem:
Phone is in landscape while you got it in the car dock, for example. Now when you get a call or wanna make one, the phone turn back to potrait mode even it´s still in landscape. I find that pretty annoying!
Solution:
It´s an app called Ultimate Rotation Control. You can get it for free (7 day trial) on the playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=de). Just install it and let everything as it is. And if you now get a call or make one the phone stays in landscape as it should.
respect!
Thanks Chris, you are great man!:goodushing t hanks button is all that i can make and my respect for you!!

I've been using that app to force Flipboard into landscape mode for quite some time. I keep the Rotation Locker widget just below the Flipboard widget. This isn't the best solution as sometimes you can't tell what you're looking at when in landscape, but it's better than being stuck in portrait all the time. Don't know why the devs of Flipboard don't enable this natively.

Hello. I downloaded this app but now it asks me to purchase a license because my trial period of 7 days has expired! It is not free!

I know mate. I also saw it later after I post it. But uninstall and reinstall it should give you seven days more.
Nice Chris! Thanks for share this

Battery widget reborn (even the free beta version) has a torch feature which works great on m8 you can actually set it up to have a shortcut right in the notification area. Which makes it even better than the HTC app.
Works perfectly, thanks
