Skype Mobile - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Im not exactly sure how it ended up on my original build, i think i went to skype.com/m and just downloaded it, but when i do that now (with the new rom) it says "there's no version for your phone"
Is their a way i can get it installed again now that ive flashed a cooked rom? (as i don't see it already in the rom itself.)
As usual, i find the answer soon after making a post.

Thats always how it happens....lol

skype mobile
looks like skype does not want to support WM anymore...
skype page says:
"Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile are no longer available. For more information click here."
May be the community will be able to change their mind...
If you want to support have a look on ipetitions for keepskypealiveonwm

Problems with Skype mobile
On my phone sky mobile runs only thru loud speaker. Maybe it is a good thing that skype discontinued support for Windows Mobile, no one has to waste time on that crappy thing anymore. I always switch to desktop when I receive or have to make skype calls.

Go to Skype.com and download the .cab file.

can somebody upload the cab file here... skype site is blocked from here, but not the software service... having hardtime to download the cab...thanks in advance

you can still get it from here:
skype (dot) com/intl/en/download/skype/windowsmobile/
but the WM support is according to golem.de deffinetly over now

That's a shame, it was working quite well through a headset...

The download is actually a 10.5MB .exe package, so I can't even zip it up and attach here. If you have e-mail that can accept a file that big, PM me and I'll be happy to get it to you that way
EDIT: I actually have just the .cab too after all...but it's even bigger (11.5MB)

I was really hoping this thread would have said "Hey, skype isn't going through speakerphone anymore on the TP2..." but no such luck. If Skype had no intention of fixing that horrible issue, then I really have no interest in its service on my mobile, anyway. It is disappointing, however, I used to use it on my Blackjack II and it worked great.

But not by itself. You have to use Audioroute (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware), this program will route any sound either to the earspeaker or backspeaker. Just start it before Skype and you'll be able to use it like doing a regular phonecall.

HI, It's working very well WITHOUT headset.
Just install audioroute and force to use the earpiece.

Thanks Osrix, I was having the same problem.

Thanks, it seems useful, but not really enough. Personally I like to leave Skype active as a second line on the phone... which means I'd have to manually start it before every call (even incoming). If I were to just start it up on occasion to make a call, it'd be an easy Mortscript, but I'll have to see if there is something a little more sophisticated that I can write.

i just used skype today on my TP2 with the sound piped to my bluetooth earpiece. no issue at all and no 3rd party software required

Thanks. Now the only problem is my ear will touch some certain onscreen buttons and get in the way and when I turn the screen off, skype phone conversation stops working. I know a simple earpiece or bluetooth device solves everything but I don't like using neither.
Is there any other way I can turn off the screen and still have a phone conversation on skype?

Okay here's my challenge to you...
I came across this link over at XDA:
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=391825.
So I did a little Google'n to see where this phone was available...and of course it's not available to us telecommunication-ally challenged US folks.
So here's the company that sells them; but of course they're in Dubai:
http://www.iteqonline.com/en_index.asp
After some more research I found the new updated ROM for this phone, and so I proceeded to unpack it so I could find the applications I wanted.
So--my challenge to you is who can provide for us the following applications from this ROM?
1. Answering Machine (Figure 7)
2. Background Effects (Figure 11)
3. Phone Recording (Figure 12) - granted I don't think this will work on the phone I want to try it on
4. Java Applet (Figure 27)
5. Voice Recorder (Figure 30)
6. Filter SIM and Send DTMF (Figure 20)
7. Magnifier (Figure 24 and 25)
All items should be in their own respective cab files for easy install for anyone who wishes to use it.
Thanks and Good Luck!
You can download the dumped rom from here
You'll need 7-Zip to unzip the archive. 7-Zip is available at http://www.7-zip.org/

On the Answering Machine....
First the Wizard has a hardware limitation that prevents call recording unless you are using speakerphone. I would assume this would eliminate the Answering Machine ability.
Second, my assumption would be that it would be in the PhoneDialer App. So you would need to install their Phone.dll and the control panel applet for the settings.
Third, a registry dump would be useful to see any hooks to the AnswerMachine.dll.

Any thoughts on where to get the registry dumps?
I'll do some more Google'n
I would love to see someone rip out the answering machine. I think a lot of people woudl find this very useful...
I just took the java app (exe) out of the dump and dropped it in my storage card on my mda. it seems to start up fine. i dont have any jar files handy to try out. It shows an option to install them from either the storage card or "my documents". Im no tech wiz but it seems like someone who knows what they are doing could get all of these features, or maybe some of them from this to work on a wizard.

Due to the hardware design of the Wizard, WM5 has no access to the incoming audio stream. bluetooth routing is also done independent of the OS as I understand it. There simply is no way to 1) send audio out to the GSM Phone conntection or 2) record to other person.
The idea of an answering machine on your Wizard is a pipedream.
Previous post deleted.
Nice challenge, I'm interested in the answering machine.
I would be interested in the Cyberon Voice Commander which appears to add a lot of features to the relatively inferior voice speed dial we have. Also the Easy-Touch Menu would be nice, it adds the option of phone profiles and a few other handy items on one menu. It looks like it's a non resident program also so it would be handy for our performance challenged phones.
I don't have any experience with ROMS, otherwise I would attempt this myself. Is this possible?

Wow I am glad I didn't know this when I downloaded and installed PMRecorder. Although the calls are quiet (unless using speakerphone) they can still be heard. But I assure you they work. If we could get the answering machine to turn on the speakerphone automatically, we could even screen calls!
Maybe the answering machine is a new upgrade to Voice commander!

Skype Sound output switch

I have made a program for my girlfriend wizard so she can talk with skype using the earpiece instead of the loudspeaker...
It might be useful for others too, use it at your own risk, I do not take responsibilities for any damage made by this program...
It also may work with other phones, it is a matter of trying... of course again, at your own risk.
It is very simple, just run the program before a skype call and then bring it up and press "ok" to close.
If someone knows tha if skype broadcast some sort of message while making a call, please send the information to me so I can make a auto-switching program ;-)
Do not let the program running because you can really mess things around, but nothing serious... just annoying.
standalone exe file, do not sell it!!! it is free!!
Thanks.
Check the new program, at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469223
Thanks man, I don't need it at the moment, but it is great idea.
this is a fix that a lot of ppl have been waiting for but unfortunately it doesn't work on my tytn 2. is there any way that you can make a universal switch or one for the tytn 2?
can someone use this fix to auto-switch when wm6 voip call is comming in?
This is brilliant, brilliant!!!!
I suggest you repost this as VOIP: Audio redirection to earpierce and hopefully the mods can make this a sticky. This is a problem that has baffled many for long.
I've tested with both Express Talk and WM6 VOIP. However WM6 VOIP has got an issue on my phone where the volume is low with lots of noise. However in both cases,the app redirected the audio to the earpiece. Express talk is crystal clear through the earpiece and is what I'll be using for VOIP calls.
Would you care to elaborate on what issues we can expect if we leave the application running for long?
one small problem is after running this .exe, i am unable to key lock my device. so as i speak over the earpiece of skype i have the tendancy to press buttons (eg. hangup) with my face.

pmugabi:
you wont hear your phone ring at all if you leave the device running. all the sounds and notifications that come through the loudspeaker will all now come through the earpiece!
would vibrate still work?
To answer my own question, I tested it and it does! (Well I tested it on my Tilt and it worked)
My own problem now is finding a ROM that works with Skype and Troca2. The one I have now will not use the mic on the phone (whether troca2 is running or not). Either way I am making progress towards my Skype only wizard!
SKYPE and FRING on Sony Xperia X1
Have you managed to make this software automatic??
It may be a good idea if the software would work for FRING and SKYPE only without redirecting ALL the sounds.
Is it possible??

I am having a issue with audio not coming out as mono on MP3 files will this work for that?
hello,
could you please make this run on WM2003 also ? i need this for my HTC magician.

Does it work on X1?
I think WM2003 is too old to run
Code ... maybe?
Hi MarceloFB,
This works great on my Xperia X1 (didn't try it with Skype, just my own VOIP app). ... Also have not tried it on my TytnII, don't even think I'm going to bother, since the TytnII hardware (as far as I know) won't support it.
I would, however, love to just put the API call into my own VOIP app instead of having the extra executable.
I have tried:
waveOutMessage( hWaveOut, /*MM_WOM_FORCESPEAKER*/WM_USER + 2, FALSE, 0 );
... as I thought that was the way to redirect the sound on devices where the hardware supports it, but that does not seem to work.
Would you maybe be willing to let me know what API calls you make in your app?
Regards
Hendrik
Hi ...
.... Nevermind ... got it working .... and on TytnII as well
Perfect
Works fine with Fring, Thanks, any idea why Skype 2.5 Beta crashes on Xperia when trying to make a call?
Works on Hermes
I've been testing express talk: http://www.nch.com.au/talk/index.html and your app reroutes the audio perfectly.
Where do I send beer? I would love a today plugin.

Is it possible to guide us how you changed your API to make it automatic ?
I don't know why nobody continued this thread. It is a big problem for all of WM users .
I have WM 6.1 and still the same problem . Damn Microsoft cannot fix this issue ?
Take a look at the first post, I have made a new program with automatic switch, and need people to test it and give some feedback, I intend to make corrections as bugs appears.

Windows Mobile Voice Command on Xperia

Saw this and was really really impressed!!! Has anyone here tried this yet?

I can't wait to get my hands on Xperia.
And yes, i know this is not an Xperia only thing, but rather a Windows Mobile Software... but still!

about to try it.
tried it...works pretty well - it has settings to specifically announce stuff over bluetooth - will work a treat with my car I reckon.
Doesnt pick up my voice all that well though - mind you, i do have manflu at the mo.

So tell me one thing, do you have to hit the button on the mobile each time to issue a command? Just wondering if it can sit dominant and not require you to hit a button first?

You need to press a button to attract its attention. This can be a button on a bluetooth headset, which is where the software really comes into its own.
Voice Command Xperia - Problem
Hi all VC working except that it does not read out the number/name on incoming calls. All the right boxes are ticked in the options as I have used MSVC for the past two years. Can anyone confirm this working or not on your Xperias. I have tried all the version for 6.1 roms. Thanks all.
I know this problem has been in existence for years (Tytn). See other threads for this problem on XDA, sorry, can't provide link at this time.

VC 1.6
or go to tpb... where i got it... (im the dude in the video)
In t-mobile version in germany there is an other voice dialing system already installed. I forget the name but this must program must be trained therefore you have to speak a word or some words and associate this with a number/command.
This tool was already used on the tmobile ameo and for me it worked not very good. The recognition of named was not very good when many named has been trained.
The windows mobile voice command solution is much better and works fine on my x1 .
I saw the youtube video and was very surprised because I didn't know the features for music playing. Maybe I have to look for them. I have the german 1.6 version intalled.

I don't think Skype is being officially supported on Windows Mobile anymore. I can't post links yet but if you go to skype dot com/intl/en/mobile/ you'll see that only the iPhone and Symbian have download links on the page.
Now that they've sold out to Verizion, I believe going forward only Verizon devices will have official support. That said, there are some very smart people on this forum who may be able to hack it so that it works on WinMo phones .

No way I have ever found. Without headphones Skype on WM uses speakerphone capabilities only. I waited for Skype to fix this and the way the finally fixed is to drop support for WM all together.
Use this. Just route all audio to main ear piece before you start skype

Skype Cab

Skype
I love skype on my winmo, and have used it often. Audio Route IS the answer that i have found, and it does work great.
One issue with Audio Route, is the icon in the taskbar is affected by WIndows Mobile 6.5.5, and the icon shrinks to an almost unuseable state.
Are there any other options besides audio route for routing audio to the earpiece?
Thanks,
Brandon
Wow is this topic really that dead? I would think using skype on oUr windows mobile is still one of the better claims to fame.
So does anyone know of an audio route device that pays well with 6.5.x?
Sent from my MSM using XDA App

Hi, i use idialer for googlevoice calls:
