Does not work for me :/ Tried with RootExplorer and Flashing from recvoery
I've created a flashable zip of this that works on the DHD. I haven't had a chance to try the video chat function as I don't have any contacts with the possibility It might be that there's no easy way to get video chat working if the app only supports front facing cameras. The voice chat should work though, enjoy.
All credits go to britoso for giving us the app, I just made a working flashable zip of it.
Here's the dropbox link
Has someone tried this? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/voice-and-video-gtalk-working-for-2-3-3-roms/
I am using it on ARHD on my DesireHD as it was implemented by mike and it is working without problems, I just cannot send video as DHD has no front cammera.
When do you think it'll be available in the market? Thanks.

Ok, just flashed your Zip files on my CM7.0.2 DHD, gtalk works fine, i also made a couple of successful calls with a friend who has the 2.3.4 Nexus S. I noticed the following:
1- On the Nexus S, he couldn't call me (the voice icon was not shown next to my contact name), couldnt the phone from the webapp either from , however i can call from the phone.
2- sounds is routed to speaker and I couldnt get it to run on the earpiece (for a voice only call), best thing was to use a headphone.
3- video works one way, i could see the other end's video but they couldnt get mine although the cam was working on my device (i guess this is due to the lack of a front facing camera on the DHD).
This is a good start, the major issue now is the fact that you cannot be called as somehow the client on the other end is not expecting the DHD to have voice activated.
Maybe someone with enough knowledge could take a look at the app and see if it is possible to make the app use the camera on the backside? This ofcourse isn't perfect for video calls but it's better than nothing.

Are other people able to start voice/video chats with you? I wasn't able to receive calls/video chats, but I can initiate them.

I believe this link will take you to download the ripped yahoo messanger app. I've got it, but have not had the opp to use the video chat. But it does show up as an option check out it out people!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812919
Edit: according to the above post only rear camera working on video, but hey its progress!
I am getting.. "Cannot download, The content is not supported on this phone."
I got mine from the evo forums I will post a link later. It is actually 2 downloads, the messaging apk and then the video chat addon apk. You must install the messaging apk for the video apk to work.

This is gonna be pretty awesome as soon as the devs get it working the right way. I'm waiting on the links, good work everyone, this community is the best.
This is the original link that I found the link to download the apks http://androidspin.com/2010/10/19/y...chat-application-found-in-leaked-mytouch-rom/

Tried it with my Epic. No camera from the phone is being recognized on the PC client and the phone continues to say "Connecting...".
Will try it at home where I can log onto Wifi for more testing.

I downloaded it but I can't seem to get it to wrk. Do I have to install it ontop of the prexsisting mmessenger client or do I uninstall first. I tried both and they don't work
Epic 4G
I still havnt had a chance to use it myself, but it is sounding like a no go for now. Hopefully someone can play with it and get it working, I don't know why google has failed to implement video with gtalk yet! It sucks having a front facing camera and not being able to use it. Because I don't know any one with an evo, epic, or iphone ect... we need phone to pc video chat!

Don't even try it won't work guys unsupported just like skype.
If ur looking for a pc to phone video cat try "qik in touch" its in bet now but frm what I hear its working
works on Evo just fine, but doesn't work on Epic yet
works for me (cell to pc) even tho the other party sees my front facing cam image sideways on their end but I see my image right side up in my self view window while in a video chat session. Still kinda buggy trying to establish a successful video chat. I have not tried cell to cell or over a 3g/4g connection, only verified cell to pc over my wifi connection.

Same here. Finally got a connection, but it was after multiple attempts.
It was working for me but then i had and update.push by yahoo... claimin to give better quality...which actually made the video call not work and give u a fc pop up
send it from maldito's phone aka (SolarSystemGalaxy)
Has anybody tried voice calling sans the video? How do you rate that? Does it work with earphones? Can you use earphones with video calling and use back camera for that?
Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.
I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...
Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways
I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.
I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.
just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.
Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.
I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.
a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..
How has anyone gotten it to install from market? It allways says failure to install

I installed mine from the apk from my droid popped it in dropbox and than installed it that way, installed fine just cuts out when i try pulling up the video feed.
Has anybody tried all the versions spread on the XDA Forum? I tried this ones:
Versions available: (Use the latest from below, or use DeToX-cz's installer app)
1. "Talk_with AV.zip". Same as stock with just the FC fixed so it works on other phones.
2. "Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip" or "talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip". Added a fix to let it work over your data connection.
3. "talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip". Added an additional fix to let it work over data.
4. xilard version. #3 with Camera and microphone tweaks.
5. [email protected]'s gTalk installer. Installs the new gTalk files. Needs root. Not sure what mods he has incorporated in it.
6. xilard version +theos0o portrait fix, by $omator
7. version "1.33" by theos0o [thread][multiupload link]. I copied the 3 files in the update.zip manually using android commander and it works fine. (Nexus one, 2.3.5 CM nightly)

In some of them, the other person cannot see me. In other versions, cam works fine, but I cannot hear the person and viceversa. In the modaccos version, the front cam is 90° turned around. Well you know all the problems. Thats why my question:
Does anybody knows a gtalk [video/wifi/cam switcher] custom app that really works on the Incredible S?
BTW: Im using Virtuous 2.37 Rom.
Thanks for answers.
Am using the default 'talk' app in virtuous unity 2.37.
seems to be no problem here!
i did have trouble in MIUI rom, but nothing with VU.
has this been persistent?
otherwise i would suspect faulty network
And video call works on yours? Can u see and hear the other person? Can the other person hear and see you? Is your front cam flipped to 90 degrees? Can you switch between front and rear cam?
Sorry for so many questions . I'm just pissed that my gtalk doesn't work properly.
Thxs.

I did a full wipe and installed the new VU 2.39.
Talk works fine, only that the front cam is flipped on 90°.
Is there a patch or something? maybe this framework-res or something like that? i dont know what else to try.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

lol. i understand your frustration.
but everything works fine. i can hear and see the other person and they can hear and see me too.
the image is quite right, not flipped
am sorry you having these issues!
since you have wiped and re-flashed, you could probably try uninstalling the 'talk' app & then download and re-install from the market.
maybe that would work
Hi Everyone,
I'm coming form Germany and own a Xoom MZ601 with 3G, Tiamat 2.2.2 flashed. Works like a charme! ...thanks to all developers for this!
In this forum I found the modded framework-res.apk to enable SMS via 3G...and it works perfect with GoSMSpro.
Now, I would like to enable voice calls via 3G, too.
Because I haven't found any suitable framework-res.apk for this, I tried to recompile it (with several versions of Apk Manager on Windooze and PengiOS ) in order to enable this feautre by editing the regarding parameter in BOOLS.XML...but at the moment there seems to be nooooo way to decompile Tiamats framework-res.apk with any version of Apk Manager. ...apktool breaks the toolchain. ...updating this piece of SW, ended up in some kind of version-conflict-nirwanas.
Could/would anybody lent me a hand?
TIA
StevieXoom
Wow man if you could do this it would be amazing. Many people tell me the Xoom has no hardware to make calls - but personally I don't see it. If it has a 3G radio that can send text I can see no reason why it isn't just a software issue stopping calls via 3G too!
Keep up the good work!
Sorry for my (stupid) post. I saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17578600&postcount=1"] and I also saw the link to the modified apk manager in the tutorial ...but I missed downloading it :-(
Now...all is fine!
