I just installed the video plug in for my wifes mac and used my xoom to make a call.

The mac send video to my xoom and to change camera I just poked the screen and got a nice little menu on the top right.

But my xoom didn't send video to the mac. The xoom had video call from day one so maybe its a not the problem with the app here but a google problem.

Sent from my Xoom

zip flashes properly on Evo running CM 7.0.2

I had video going from the computer to the phone properly, but nothing was going from the phone to the computer (the phone showed that it was taking video, though).

Also, invitations for calls initiated by the computer were never received by the phone.

Touch the screen during a call and you'll get an option to change cameras (on mytouch4g at least)

Front camera Is default and app fc when rear Is selected

If the incoming (to phone) video looks bad rotate phone to landscape then make call...this fixes that (similar to the old youtube video errors). Once fixed that problem goes away on subsequent calls

Sorry for being a noob but i am learning :o

I have a desire s with s-on, i have managed to get a temp root on it. I was able to successfully install a hacked version of google navigation, this was off topic but my point is i am not able to do so with this gtalk app.

can the someone please tell what the file for lib is used for? since after a reboot i loose my root and it all resets to same old thing, can i put "libtalk_jni.so" at any other place?

[Android Apps and Games] blunden:
Yes, Froyo lacks the required APIs for it to work. Porting to an older API without having the source code to the app is a lot to ask. Also, it's kind of pointless since the new features all require the new API anyway. I think you'd do better to forget about it until a way to run custom roms is found.

You could try putting it in a folder named "lib" in the apk and resigning it. Apps look in the folder as well as /system/lib for any libs it requires. I'm not sure how the Gtalk service will be affected by that though but it could be worth a try.

in order to receive calls (including phone to phone calls) you must be running 2.3.4. now that CM7 for the Galaxy S has been updated to 2.3.4, everything works including the sending and receiving of video (phone to computer only for the Captivate, however.)

Nice! Working (sort of) on my Nexus One running CM7. I started a chat with a PC user. I could see the PC's video on the phone but they could not see video of my camera. All they saw was my profile avatar. I know, only having a rear facing camera kinda limits my use, but it's fun nonetheless!

*edit*

Just wanted to add this was on WiFi. When I try it on 3G it tells me that I need to be on WiFi.
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
I don't see how this will 'install' it. It just moves Talk2.apk to the system app folder, but doesn't extract it. Not very useful for noobs. We're not an elite club where you should need secret extra hidden knowledge.

I ran the update.zip found a few posts later instead, but Talk just Force Closes each time on my Nexus One.

The forum search is unavailable/down. How do I stop it Force Closing please?
[Android Apps and Games] timekeeper:
Followed instructions for the push on a HTC HD2 running a CM7 port. Worked great, could see the other person, video and voice of them was clear, but they couldn't see my camera feed - only the android icon. This was all over 3G (a prepaid SIM on Hong Kong provider one2free/CSL). Thanks!

Anyone knows how to disable the handsfree mode on voicechat? Would be nice to use it like phone ;)
[Android Apps and Games] blunden:
Good to know. I never tried it before my 2.3.4 build. Do both people have to have 2.3.4 or is it just receiving calls that require that? I haven't had a time to test it out myself yet.

What do you mean? System apps are not installed like normal apps. They are picked up automatically by the system. Also, installed apps are not "extracted". If they contain any libs in the apk, that is extracted when the app is started but the rest is read directly from the apk (or the odexed version if it's been DexOpt:ed, either from dalvik-cache or system if it happens to be a stock rom).

In conclusion it should be very useful for noobs as that is literally how it's done, step for step. :) The only missing step is extracting the zip-file but if one can't figure that out, or tell the difference between a flashable zip and a normal one I don't think they should mess with their phone at all.

You have to check logcat for why it Force Closes. There could be many different reasons. Also, what rom and which version of it are you running?

[Android Apps and Games] bluedragon1982:
I think you need a 2.3.4 build - i would wait for the 2.3.4 nightly - i have an unofficial cm7 (2.3.4) build and gtalk is working perfect

Yeah, okey. I just assumed it would work since it said "Needs: 2.3+ and root " in the first post.

Edit: Hm, a mate just tried the gapps-file as well with CM7 RC4, and he could call my PC. Wierd.
[Android Apps and Games] addisonhammer:
What do you mean by "working perfect" ? I have an unofficial 2.3.4 build for the Evo... (which runs soooo smooth btw) and I cant get a few features of gTalk to work:

Outgoing calls work great, only my video is not transmitted to the computer user. weird. Incoming calls do not connect at all. Are you experiencing any of this?

What is weirder, if I call "service@gtalk2voip.com" (a dummy loopback account) my video is transmitted to their server and returned (with a 2 second lag and compression)...

so my video is making it out to the web, just not to gmail users!

Commands (do not include // comments when copying/pasting):

adb push Talk2.apk /sdcard/downloads/Talk2.apk // copies to SD card

adb push libtalk_jni.so /sdcard/downloads/libtalk_jni.so // copies the new video library/functions to the sd card

adb push Talk2.obex /sdcard/downloads/Talk2.obex // copies to SD card

adb shell // starts shell

chmod 655 /system/lib/libtalk_jni.so // makes executable/readable

reboot

After installing, click on your own avatar in Google Talk and check "Allow video and voice chats" to enable.

Unfortunately, right now, it's using the rear camera and there is no option to switch to the front camera. (Tapping on the screen only gives the option to text chat and mute the microphone.)

I flashed the zip through recovery that Britoso posted (post #20) and it seems to be working on my first test -except for the pc user cannot get my video feed :( also, pc cannot initiate a call to me as others have reported. Sounds works both ways. On my phone i see the other person AND can see my video feed (although the video feed from my front facing camera always appears to be turned sideways, no matter which way i rotate the phone). So i am producing video but it must not be sending to the pc for some reason.

I am running latest leaked htc sense gingerbread on my htc evo.

CM7, Android 2.3.4 - Optimus One:

works, except the voice (and video, but I have no FFC :) - it says Voice available, but that is it. Wien I press the Mic button in chat, it says "calling" and it stays until I close it.

If I initiate call from PC, it says, that "You cannot call because xxx@gmail.com is using chat in Gmail or another chat program other than Google Talk.". Strange.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Phone to phone calls will work on cm 7 phone to pc will work partially on 2.3.3 the video won't be sent out on the receiving end you can see the other person though.

[Android Apps and Games] marker2002:
My two cents

I was bored so I thought i'd give this a try even though I only have an DX.

Install took a few tries but I finally got that signed.zip file to load right.

Gtalk is running fine, can chat like normal.

Like others, when I called my computer I could see my computers video and my phones back camera on my phone screen and on the computer I could only see a black screen and the computers video. Couldn't call my phone from the computer, even though I checked "Allow video and voice chats" on my phone in gtalk, oh well.

I haven't tried phone to phone yet, trying to get my friends thunderbolt to run this.

The only thing that isn't working 100% is that it keeps saying its having server issues and looses connection, I just have to minimize gtalk and reopen it to refresh.

Can't wait till this is up and running for real and I have a FFC and 4g, getting excited!

How to install

Easiest way is using Root Explorer..

Download and extract Talk_with AV.zip to your sdcard.

Open Root Explorer and navigate to extracted files on your sdcard.

Copy talk2.apk and go to /system/app

Press Mount R/W at the top right and then press Paste on the bottom left

Now you have both talk.apk and talk2.apk

Rename Talk.apk to Talk.apk1

Select and hold the other Talk2.apk and press Permissions and select:

User: Read Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

And press Ok

Now press and hold on Talk2.apk and press Rename

And rename Talk2.apk to Talk.apk

go back to your extracted files on your sdcard and copy libtalk_jni.so

Navigate to system/lib

Press Mount R/W at the top right and then press Paste on the bottom left

Press and hold on libtalk_jni.so and select Permissions

change the permissions to:

User: Read Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

now reboot your device.

now open Talk and press on your own name where you can change your own status and tick the allow Video- and voicechat

Thats all
[Android Apps and Games] Ultraman666:
Worked perfectly thanks for the info
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
Don't you have to rename Talk2.apk to Talk.apk afterwards for it to work?
[Android Apps and Games] I2asta:
no its not really necessary, you can name it whatever you want, but i noticed that when its named to something other than Talk.apk, my htc sense based contact-list didn't show an online icon behind the online contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
It should not make a difference as the internal package name is the same. I left it as Talk2.apk because thats what google had in the update.
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
You're right! Renaming it back to Talk2 fixed my force close. Not sure why it didn't work before when I had it as Talk2.

Another guide said to rename it to Talk.apk so that was wrong and you are right!
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
You should not rename Talk2.apk - it should stay as that as that is what the Google version is called. Renaming it to Talk.apk created a FC situation for me. Talk2 worked fine though.
[Android Apps and Games] I2asta:
You get FC, cause your rom probably isn't deodexed

Also MoboPlayer is excellent video player which can be changed in settings from list view to grid which will give you a very nice 3D video wall.

Worth a look - Tunein radio, tubemate (fantastic download speeds 10mps good for dl full episodes eg ufo.tv).
