However, if you are running froyo, it only supports the rear camera (which is totally retarded). They try to make it sounds like the rear camera thing is a froyo limitation, yet the front camera works just fine on Tango.
Tried it on EG22 and it works very nicely using the front camera, and the camera is correctly oriented as well.
Works for me on EG22. Skype finally is doing something right lol
I tried it on EC05, and it didn't work. I went to the options to enable video chat, and it told me that I needed to re-install Skype. I did so (twice) and it was disabled again. Not sure what is happening.
The rear camera thing is unbelievable.
It appears this is app-wise one of the few reasons to want GB. Too bad Skype has the rep for being a POS no matter what they do to it.
Can't get it to work on randomrom eg22

I have EG22 rom and can't update skype. Getting the error message "Package was not signed correctly".
Is it only me, or somebody else has that problem too?

Where is your skype installed? I got this for a themed Google plus. And if you're using the hacked Skype it won't update with the official one. You'll have to uninstall it.

Works great on Bonsai B14 EG22 ROM. I have 2 Epics on my account and for some reason one only shows correct if held upside down...wierd. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? Or is there a setting somewhere to fix this?
Running great on Random Rom Osprey. I was at work the other day and skyped with my wife on the laptop. The video even looked pretty good on 3g, no drops or skips. I was pleasently suprised.
I haven't used this cause I use the hacked version, but the hacked version works flawlessly for me and my wife (both EG22), unlike that POS tango.

You can get front camera working with ec05 if you use the hack version of Skype found in the i9000 Apps and theme thread. Although the front camera orientation is off

qik isn't working for me, bummer. is there anything you guys did to make it work or did it just work? mine always shows me to them, but all I see is a rainbow fuzzy screen but I can hear them.. hmm

The front facing camera works, and most apps that detect it are doing it the right way. Tango does not detect it when using CM6, they are probably not doing it using the official APIs, OR they are doing some kind of device/firmware check.
I sent them an email, either way is completely wrong.

For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

The Front-Facing Camera is pretty much broken for everything except the stock camera app in CM 7.0.

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!
Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).
So after using Cyanogen 6 & 7 here's a little review on what video chat apps work on froyo CM6 and Gingerbread CM7. I figured this would save some of you some time
Qik - works great on CM6 but it force closes on CM7. Video quality is good and audio is ok good enough to do the job
Tango - works great on CM7 with a mod where you can use front and back cameras. But on CM6 it only detects the back camera. Video quality is good but audio not so good
Fring - works on CM7 with out any mods but the video and audio quality is not so good. On CM6 it only detects the back camera.
Oovoo - is the new kid on the block working great both audio and video on CM6. I didn't test it on CM7 so if someone does let me know this app and Qik is the reason why I went back to CM6 from CM7.
I've tried them all too but unfortunately the battery drain from the apps is really poor... I just uninstalled and will reinstall when a friend wants to video chat.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Battery life on cm6 is really good even with the video chat apps
Tango is still upside down for me on FFC using CM7. Changing manufacturer to Samsung in build.prop didn't fix it . Image is right side up using the back camera.
What about Yahoo? It's apparently the only one that works from phone to PC. Can anyone confirm on our devices?

Tango works great for my girl and I using the older version. The updated version has us looking at each other upside down. So if anyone having that problem just revert back to the older version.
Qik I have not tried since I flashed cm. I heard its working on the latest nightly build but have not tried it. I never liked the quality when I used to use it on the stock rom anyways.
Yahoo video chat still gotta be the best though. Video and sound quality are best. Better than qik and tango. And it does not work only from pc to device, it also works from device to device.

the Gingerbread ROMs are the only ones with goofy FFC working with Applications. All FroYo based ROMs should work fairly well. The app developers have no upped their apps to work with Ext4 style ROMs. It has nothing to do with the developers of the ROMs, but has everything to do with the App Developers.

Yes you're right. Is my bad I should've specified that. I meant in general yahoo is best when it comes to video calling. But is the reason I use tango now, because nothing else works properly.

Can anyone tell me a good gingerbread rom where the voice recognition Works right? Every newer version roms I have tried, the voice recognition does not work good at all. I was running an old Mik rom And it worked good, but I want to go to a gingerbread rom.
Mine has worked on every ROM....
Mine is not working currently, was already having issues on stock GB, well atleast since the update.

Use Vlingo....that app is flawless, and you can do literally almost anything on it. Plus it's free.
U have to download voice search from the market. That's what I did miui rom.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Voice search was is already installed on most of the ROMs I used, and it was updated by me if it needed to be. Im talking about when I open up my key board to send a text, I would use several different keyboards that have the mic and it never would work properly. Sometimes it would work OK, but most of the time it was horrible. I noticed that all gingerbread ROMs I use also do this. I went back to MikFroYo v4.61 and it works perfect. I was just wondering if any of you guys using a newer gingerbread could suggest one that you are currently using where the voice to text works good on the keyboards.
Vlingo is pretty good, but it constantly runs in the background.

Get skype instead. It hasn't been officially released for the MT4G but (Only if you're on the gingerbread update) this should work:

It is very good. Also, the market will offer an update for skype that will overwrite this one. Don't take it, as it will make video calling stop working.

Wrong suggestion, outdated. The Market version of Skype works perfectly on MT4G. It has a switch in Options that allows turning video on for any phone. Just download Skype, turn that switch on, and you have video.
