I searched and tried many options, including the most famous one by [email protected], for installing Google Video Talk in my phone[Samsung Galaxy S Plus (i9001)]. Recently I had upgraded its firmware to 2.3.6.
The problem is everytime I try to start GTalk, i get "Force Close" message. The installer given by [email protected] doesn't even make backup. So now I lost the original Gtalk too.
Does anyone know of GTalk installer that works with android 2.3.6 (preferably on i9001). Seems like there was some installer provided Brainwash in the Google Market, but now it has been deleted by google.
I don't want to flash my device for this simple purpose. If anyone using i9001 with 2.3.6 firmware can provide me with the related files(/system/apps/talk.apk, /system/lib/libtalk_jni.so, GoogleServicesFramework.apk), I can at least get the original GTalk working.
use google+ messenger and you have a fully functional gtalk av.
Hi,
Thanks for your response. Turned out I was not able to use any of the google services. I had to flash my phone using odin.
One more curiosity, is there any tools like odin for Linux OSes. It's ironic that android itself has linux kernel, but to install it we need windows.

Unfortunately this is not a solution as gTalk chat is soemthing completly different than G+ chat
I'm also interested how to install gTalk with voice/video on I9000 2.3.6
I think gtalk is on the same server as google+.
Im using google+ and i can make video calls to friends.

all gtalk users have a google account. therefore it should not be a problem for your friends to switch to google+ messenger and use that instead, both on pc and mobile. If they do not want all other g+ stuff syncing, they can selectively disable sync.
that's why I suggested google+

Gtalk is integrated with Contacts app on Samsung. You can initiated a chat from Contact app, you can see when someone is online.
I do use G+, however it's simply to bloated. And finally gtalk *is integrated* with Gmail.

Hi,
I recently found that there is an option for adding IM accounts for each contact. While in Edit Contact mode you have the choice to add an IM account (most common ones) for each contact. If you add an IM account you will then have a choice within a contact to start IM chat with that specific person.
My problem is that if I add an Microsoft Live account for one of my friends nothing happens when I try to send a message. E.g There is no application linked to this action.
It works well if I instead use Google Talk, but then that application is installed on the phone.
Since there is no official MSN application available I wonder if there is a way to get this working ? Is there an Motorola app which is not present on my phone? (running custom firmware) or is there a way to link a specific app to that action ? (Ebuddy for example) or how is this intended to be used ?
Been searching the net for an answer without any luck.

nope, instant messaging from contacts is only avail. for Gtalk.
some extra functionallity comes with the official skype app, (like in facebook or twitter)
but you can mess aound with jabber transports if ur rly interessted, that works quite well for me, but can get complicated too.
there are guides for that out there - if u google "jabber transport gtalk"

Thanks for the reply. I also found out that this has nothing to do with Motorola, since it looks and behaves the same on my Samsung Galaxy. Looks like Google prepared for IM via Contacts but since there are no offical clients (or non official) that integrates with the contacts it doesn't work. Would be good to be able to configure this yourself. Anyway I will stick with Ebuddy which lets me connect to different networks within the same applikation.

I really like the Facebook sync on Samsung, that it allows you to sync contacts and calender with your phone. However on Cyanogen you can only have the Facebook for Android app which only allows you to sync contacts.
Can I install the SNS features from a Samsung rom to Cyanogen Mod? Or has someone found a workaround, maybe with Google Calender?
Thanks in advance!
You cannot use Samsung apps on CM7. they have a different file system and they will not work.
you will need to find something else.
I dont use Facebook... so i cant help you
I have used "HaxSync for Facebook" but it stopped working without replacement. So I'm finding for similar app, but I have not found

Thanks a lot for finding way!
I will read this topic to set synchronization with FB
I cant add my facebook account to my phone to allow it to sync with my contacts...
I have recently reverted my phone back to stock from using roms for about 4 months. I am able to add my Gmail account no problem but then i click on the facebook account and it reverts back to the account page. I was able to add my facebook account before but no luck anymore... any ideas
I figured this is the place to ask it!
Thankyou.
I have enabled apps in the facebook page as well under privacy settings and it still does nothing and help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Facebook for android is the worst app I have ever installed, when is not a thing is other, alpha versions of other apps I have installed have less bugs than it...
you may need to update the facebook app before you can add your facebook account.
Facebook for android is terrible.
Might I recommend Friend Caster? Designed much better, with popup notifications and it will sync all your contacts flawlessly. It's on the market.
Give it a whirl. You won't be sorry.

I just installed kwiboo's V3 ICS ROM and I have been re downloading my old apps off the Google web market and some of the apps such as Flash 11 and HBO Go tell me they are not compatible.
Is there anything i can do so i can install these apps other then going back to a stock rom?

No sorry until the app developers make changes for ICS no and Adobe said probably sometime late December for Flash for ICS
This apps need to modified to be able to run on ICS. They will probably be fixed soon.
Thanks for the answer guys, have a related question though. I am not able to add my facebook account to my synced accounts, it appears in the list but when i click it just takes me back to the list of accounts to sync.
I can use the Facebook app just fine other then this issue and can sync other accounts such as Twitter.

ICS syncs with google+ not facebook.
SO you cant Sync Facebook at all? Why does it show up in the list then?

depending on what rom you're using, it's probably because they are Frankenstein'd GAPPS from GB and ICS. once we get official ICS it shouldn't show up on that list.
i read something somewhere.

For facebook contact sync use Friendcaster works flawlessly
I have the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.1. Maybe it will work in 4.1? Or it might require an update by Facebook.
Tapatalk app force closes everytime I open...
That's not a question but yes sync for Facebook has been canceled since 2.3.4(right version). I do hope whatever makes it work in cm7 can be implemented here as well

Most of the apps behave weirdly in ICS. I go back with GB now.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
fb contact sync did indeed break sometime during the GB releases and their are claims that this will be repaired in ICS. It is my understanding that this is an issue on facebooks side and not an intentional block from google so there may be hope. also yes there are many many apps that do still glitch with ICS everything from small graphical glitches to constant FC, keep in mind currently only one phone officially supports ICS and as new phones enter the market these issues will be quickly resolved by their respective developers in most cases.
just a final thought, if you are currently running ICS you are an early adopter it is to be expected that things won't always run perfectly, just give them time or go back to another rom until the bugs are worked out.

hi everybody, I don't know if this has been alredy asked, but I couldn't find it...
I had the android 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini... I've just got installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1...
Well the thing is, this rom has a different contacts app...
In my 2.3.4, my stock contacts app, had the option no syncronize with facebook, without having the facebook for android app installed... This way I had all the pictures, the phone numbers, even the last post on the wall of ever one of my facebook friends right below the picture...
All this things I don't have it in this new contacts app on the rom...
Can anyone help me to get the stock contacts apps from de 2.3.4, or at least, one that have the option to sync with facebook...
thanks in advance...
Just install Facebook for Android and let the sync begins...
