Skype 2.0 for Android hacked to have video calls working on non-supported devices
Share:
The hacked Skype 2.0 version has been intended to run on the Samsung Galaxy S II, and our test showed that it works without a hitch. However, the program has been successfully tried out on a number of other smartphones and tablets. So far, the list of devices that reportedly run the unofficial Skype 2.0 includes, but may not be limited to:
Feel free to grab the hacked Skype 2.0 for Android APK file from the download link below, and if it happens to work for you, do not forget to brag about it by leaving a comment. Also, bear in mind that before installing it, you will most probably need to remove the old Skype version from your device, assuming that you have it installed, of course.

Its the reason why the didn't just put all devices. Probably to avoid being rated down but worry not, skype will make it soon enough, just like netflix

unfortunately can't clear them, they are greyed out... it shows as com.skype.raider no skype logo... can't even start it, as i start it, it suddenly force closes, so it doesn't work on Optimus 2x, it sad but true :( i hope it gets the thing soon :)

If 'FORCE CLOSE' then go to settings -> applications -> Manage application -> Skype -> clear data and clear cache.
Great work developers and good overall improvements in app. Most inmportant for me 'EASIER SIGNOUT' :D

Not On leaked mr2 update that fixed my reboots. Skype quit working after I installed mr2 update. It was worth it to not have any reboots though. So with the mr2 update installed Skype with video does not work...

I installed it on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it seems to work perfectly until I go to login. I enter my name and pw and the app closes. I've tried clearing data and cache as described above but with the same results.
Thanks in advance for any help!

installed on evo 3d. works perfect except for video calling, which is the only feature i wanted to use. if i try to video call someone on a computer it will show me when the call is initializing, but once the call connects my video disappears and will not show the others person video. i try to refresh video and it says on the other persons screen that i am trying to refresh but still no video on either end. very excited to this to work tho!! hopefully a fix comes soon!!!
