Skype 2.0 for Froyo

Does anyone know how to modify the OS to report that the phones one of the very poor selection the lazy people at skype could be bothered to make it work with?
Or would it require a mod to the app itself (same question who knows how to do this?)
Thanks in advance

Maybe modifying the build.prop? Just a guess!

Yep. Can confirm. Crashes a couple of seconds after you hit Sign in.

The problem is that the contained native code .so's seem to contain NEON instructions which the Tegra 2 can't execute.

If everyone took that attitude, XDA forums and the like wouldn't exist because we'd all be sat waiting for HTC / LG / Skype etc to update software...
These forums exist because the developer community can usually make things work better than the software vendors or before the software vendors.
This has already been hacked to work on the Galaxy S and S2.......

I can confirm that Video chat works flawless over Wifi, and even tethering 3g & 4g from my HTC EVO onto my Xoom, it works flawless.
Awesome!

Skype video chat?

Does Skype work with the front facing camera for video chat? I'm thinking of getting the D3, but have heard mixed responses as to whether skype works...

There's no video option on my installed Skype app. Disappointed.

Theres many options besides skype.

Do tell.
How can my wife and I (both new D3 owner's) video chat with each other?
Thanks

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.

still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!

Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

i have found yahoo messager to be my choice for video chat.

@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

same thing here

Same Problem here
I'm having the same problem here. I am able to see the user on the computer, but they're not able to see me. I performed several re installations and cleared the cache multiple times, is there something I am missing here? Not quite sure how it is working for some and not others.

[Q] Front facing webcam - compatible apps?

Hey there,
Just wondering what apps works with the front facing camera - I know that Skype for android currently does not support video calling.
Is there alternative app/programs that does support video calling via the front facing camera?
I heard something about 'Quik' or something, but are these programs compatible with say my Skype contact list?
Help would be much appreciated.

I am using oovoo, the only app that doesn't stutter on 3g.
You may also try tango, qik, and the google talk app. I haven't had much luck with those as they all shuttered pretty badly for me.
If you check out the themes and apps section you can find the version of skype that has video chat.

That's the best news I've heard all day! YUSS! video chat via skype here i come...
you wouldn't know whether it is smooth via WIFI would u? Nobody has really commented about it in the threads.

From my experience, wifi-to-wifi is quite good. If it's 3G you are after, then prepare for some stuttering...
Enjoy

Skype

Skypes ok, google talk with video works better for me.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App

waht differences do you notice with them ?

Are you asking the difference between Gtalk + video and Skype + video? Or the difference between the verizon Skype vs. market Skype?
The main notice between market Skype and verizon Skype for me was that I couldn't uninstall the latter. I've read a few threads that mention market Skype takes up less memory while running but I think the measurements are marginal at best.
Gtalk + video is just win anyway, the only downfall I see is that Skype has a larger user base.

Gtalk and skype. Skype is crystal clear and good audio so im not sure what advatages gtalk has
