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

i didn't want to rate it down, just to confirm if it's working or not :)

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!!!

Installs and works perfectly on Samsung Galaxy Ace, although this phone has no front-facing camera, the app is still useful. Thanks!

I installed on my HTC INSPIRE 4G, and I can not call with video calling, and upon receiving a call, select Answer video and I closed the application.

Hi All,
I got it working on my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000).
Here's what I did:
If you already have skype
1. In 'Manage Applictions' -> 'Force Stop' Skype.
2. In 'Manage Applictions' for Skype, 'Clear Data' for Skype.
3. In 'Manage Applictions' -> Uninstall Skype.
Now install Skype using the downloaded apk file.
Open the app and continue with the sign in process.
The application will Force closes.
Go to Manage Applications and 'Force Stop' and 'Clear Data' for Skype.
Now Open Skype and continue with the login process and this time it should work fine.
Worked for me!!
Reply if this works for you.

I did all the above on SGS (i9000) .. .Cleared cache many times etc...
But got force close when trying to open video. Rest seems to work, but that was also on official version. So... for now useless ((

So, I have the Droid Incredible 2. I just got it on 7/19/2011 so it already had the OS upgrade Gingerbread 2.3 and this version works perfect. I can switch between my front and back camera during a Skype call. They can see me and I can see them. The audio works perfect as well! All is flawless in the land of DROID!

It works on my DINC2. I bought my phone on 7/19/2011 so it came with the new 2.3 OS upgrade. I can switch between cameras during a video Skype call! Thanks for the hacked version! The Incredible 2 is truly too incredible!

Doesn't work on Samsung Charge. Forced close, cleared cache & relaunched. Camera unavailable to app. App closes immediately after establishing contact. Shame, as 4G is tailormade for Skype.
