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.......

Video Call

Hi all,
I just wanted to ask you about the video call capability of Optimus Black. As I know Android got embedded Video Call capability with GTalk via version 2.3.4. But as I know Optimus Black runs Froyo.
So, I own a Galaxy S2, and I want to buy a phone for my gf, only for video chat. So any of you tried; Tango, new version of Skype or Fring. Does video calling works OK?
Thanks.

i have try with skype and it's still not supported yet,,,Optimus black will be supported on skype as OPTUS have release a contract version of OB Skype Edition.just need to wait for a new version of skype to be released tho..^^

I've try many "video call" apps.
None of them are compatible with the front camera

The only app that supports p970 front camera is stock camera app
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk

As mentioned above so far no video chat app suports front cam on the P970, but fring works pretty good even if you need to have a mirror to see the person you are talking to.
Hopefully 2.3 is just around the corner.

Just wait for 2.3 release. People said skype only supports 2.3

I'm working on skype mod HERE that supports many froyo FFCs. My goal is to make most froyo FFCs usable for video chatting.
With the help of owners, I was able to add the LG Optimus 3D in the list of supported devices. If you want to help me add support for LGOB, please send me these files:
all of /system/framework/ files
/system/app/ArcCamera.odex (or .apk in case of deodexed system)
/system/app/Camera.odex (or .apk in case of deodexed system)
And I also need you as testers to verify in case I have something to test.
You can email your download link at [email protected]

With the mod droidx is working on I have video call working!!!!! Back cam only so far but works non the less.
He is working hard to enable the front cam as well

Thank you. Works, but when I hold the phone vertically, image with my camera upside down.

The portrait mode is not yet finished. I'm still working on some other FFCs and fixes. I'll continue to work on that when I'm finish with other devices' issues.

Noticed a problem with status. When you come out through the exit and back to run the program does not go online while in the program itself says that online. And another problem with the camera. Sometimes it stops working and error associated with the SMS/MMS

The delay for the skype to become fully online is normal. I haven't found out or looked why but I'm thinking that delay is the time for it to discover online contacts and broadcasting itself to others.
With the other problem (SMS/MMS), can you describe it more? It's my first time to hear that problem (being assiciated with SMS).

so far it is the best skype mod i've every tried, but i cant use none of the cameras (none of them works.. still all black)
but i can see my contact video.. and thats a progress!

Recording calls with the SGH-T879?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note, the TMobile SGH-T879. I have not found an application and/or ROM combination that will allow me to record telephone calls without using speakerphone.
To be clear, I want to record both sides of a conversation on all incoming and outgoing calls without having to use speakerphone.
Has anyone here been able to do this on this particular phone? If so, exactly what did/do you use?

Call recorder app by skvalex. It works straight out the box using cm10 but if you are on a touch wiz rom you must first change the system to r/w before installing. Only downside is it is 10 dollars but is perfect and does exactly what you are asking for. You also need to be rooted.

I have someone else working on the phone for me and I will pass a link to this thread on to him.
Thanks tremendously for your kind help.
I've been able to get nothing to work on a rooted but otherwise stock SGH-T879, which is supposedly different from the i717.

Download busy box installer app by jrummy.. Open app then swipe to the left. You will see an option that asks if you want to change the system to r/w.. Follow the instructions then voilà.

New (side-effect) problem from this ROM
It records calls just fine; but, a new problem has presented itself. The phone will no longer block calls in any call blocking program's blocked list. I have tried six call blocking programs, one of which worked before the custom ROM.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

True Phone App call recording stopped working.

Hi,
True Phone App has stopped recording the calls after some time. Do i need to purchase?
Secondly, what's the difference between the App packages Exceptional, Great and good.
