Can't run it on Evo 4G with CM7. Can sign in and make calls but the camera's don't work and I can't see video.

Kind of works on my Evo 4G running CM7.1 RC1 with SZ 2.2.1. I can see the video from my computer, but neither of the Evo cameras will pick up any video. I installed the latest version in the OP.

Anyone with an Evo try the earlier version?

Hi there. It says file not available for download. Or do I have to have rooted SGS2 or will it perhaps work on normal device. Thanx for answer. I am new to these things.

I actually tried the earlier version and was able to produce the same results as you. When I tried the new version I get double black screens.

I've tried all three versions that are floating around here at XDA and neither one can get the cameras to work........I'm able to sign in and call someone via video chat but I get the same thing dude!

I guess there's something wrong with our camera libs or something like that....

Thanks for this effort, theos0o!

SGS 2.2.1 still shows video call buttons on newer build.
Asus Transformer 3.1 crashes on sign in, any ideas how to make it work on Honeycomb/Transformer?

Thanks!

    Skype 2.9.0.315 mod - v17

    Skype 2.9.0.315 modded (build v17) !

    Changelog:
    ~ Based on new Skype build 2.9.0.315


    Changes compared to original Skype:
    • Exit button (kills app & service)
    • Minor fixes here and there (vibration, chat, video-calls)
    • Speaker toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button)
    • Bluetooth audio toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button), uses *my* code for BT Audio, so you can try it for mono headsets or headsets that don't work with Skype's original BT support
    • Camera LED/flash support while in video-call (just press your phone's MENU button)
    Advanced Settings:
    → Sign-in status picker, allows you to pick your desired status (availability), which will be applied automatically just after logging-in.
    → Keep screen alive, disables proximity sensor for calls
    → Force-enable video-calling, for phones that can't get video-calling enabled.
    *Video-calling needs compatible CPU (ARMv7). If your phone's CPU is not compatible, Skype will keep crashing/looping at login!*
    → Force enable camera rotation, will attempt to enable camera rotate option (under the camera selection popup)
    → Avoid setFPS, for some users that get black image in video-calls
    → Use valid preview surface, for some users that get black image in video-calls (a bit buggy at the moment, but better than nothing ;))
    → Prefer full-screen incoming video, won't allow your back camera image to take the whole screen leaving the incoming image minimized
    → Force notification LED/BLN, for users that "Pulse notification light" option (in Skype original settings) doesn't actually enable notification LEDs or BLN!
    → Advanced camera settings (resolution/focus/scene/white balance/color effect)
    Ringtone picker!
    Notification sound picker!
    → Disable vibration entirely
    → Disable sign-in/out vibration and/or sounds
    Notifications' vibration pattern picker!
    → Verbose logging, use it for debugging, when capturing logs​
