I've pushed the apk but it doesn't get loaded (no dex in dalvik cache), unfortunately no errors in logcat.

I think it's because it's not signed.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
No I did sign it, let me clear the caches and data though just to make sure.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Killbynature:
On cm 7 I can confirm it opens starts running then force closes.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Killbynature:
You already have the update for the nexus s meaning you are on 2.3.4 cm7 runs 2.3.3
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Killbynature:
Can you tell me exactly where you push the files? Talk is system app and lib would go into system lib correct?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nokia7Vista:
I installed it successfully,, but I don't see the option for video calling ?!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
I'll look into why that is as soon as I can get it working myself, probably because of some check for the video service.

What OS are you on Nokia7Vista?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nokia7Vista:
Android 2.3.3 on Galaxy S

I copied the .so file and your apk to their appropriate locations and removed the old talk.apk version and it worked,, but no video calling option :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
OK. I got it running now, it was a permission error.

That said it has a weird graphical glitch and doesn't show any contacts.

I'll investigate when I get home.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] elban:
I can now run it but it force closes.

There is a problem with app permissions, but running a fix perms from recovery didn't help.

Any advice?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] elban:
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

I'm on nexus one cm 7.0.2.1
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
Yeah, and you have a spinning oval in the top right corner correct?

That basically the issue I have right now.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dmesg:
Yes, exactly the same behavior. Attempt to debug the connection with Gtalk Service Info caused the same permission problem (GTalk_Service) as mentioned before.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
OK, something I've noticed: I only get the permission error with the wifi turned off, with data off and wifi of I got the proper looking Sign in screen, but it just sat there (for obvious reasons)

Also, I decompiled the old Talk.apk, the layout that the error dmesg refereces is exactly the same in the new and the old version.

That said, when I tried de-odexing Talk2.apk with the old framework files, it was complaining about two methods that it couldn't resolve related to the SearchChats( I think) view. So it could be that the update also patched the layout engine or something. I don't know I'm just making an educated guess :P
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] brunes:
How did you fix the permission error? I have this same error and don't understand how to fix it.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
I hate you so much right now britoso, it actually works. and by works, I mean with video and everything. Damn, I wanted to get it working first, but congrats.

EDIT: Had to call myself to test it (because I have no friends (joking)). Interesting thing happened. On my phone, I could see myself and I could see myself again (from the computer) However, inside gtalk on the computer I could only see the video from the laptop. IE on the phone 2 way video was working but not transmitting to gtalk? Weird.

Also, didn't see an option anywhere to switch cameras, so the video was from the rear facing camera, I'm going to take a look into that right now though.

Is anyone here up for a chat on IRC or something? Maybe Talker? (talkerapp.com)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dmesg:
My mobile account is not shown on the desktop with voice/video icon, despite enabling it on the phone. Something is still wrong.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
Yeah, I've noticed that as well. On the Galaxy S it only detects on camera. We need to figure that out as well.

It probably needs to be defined somewhere.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] flaviowbr:
It worked for me (nexus s - CM7) but could not move the camera back to the camera frontral.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] blunden:
Try busybox chown root:root /system/app/Talk2.apk (or whatever the name of the app is). I don't know if Android cares about the owner of system apps but the rest of them are owned by root so doesn't hurt to try. Does the apk define that permission in it's AndroidManifest.xml?

EDIT: Ah, had forgot to refresh the page before answer. :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] blunden:
Perhaps the camera drivers for the Galaxy S doesn't use the new camera API in gingerbread for defining a frontfacing camera. If so it's no surprise it's not detected.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
Hmm, I personally think it's something like that, however people running CM7 have the same issue.

On the other hand, people who hack samsung phones say that they way they did things was very hacky and doesn't follow android standards; here's one such anecdote: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12551080&postcount=3832
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] edude03:
Don't know if anyone is still interested in hacking this app ahead of google's release, but I'm digging around in the code and I've noticed a few interesting things:

1) Like I thought there is a getCapabilities() method, which does a check against some method and returns a string of devices capabilities. As you would imagine, these include " pmuc-v1" " voice-v1" "video-v1" " camera-v1", we might be able to over ride this method to return all capabilities, though I need to figure out if that would break anything.

2) The app decides what camera you have in the Talkapp class, it inits a instance of SharedPreferences then does getSharedPreferences("camera", 0); then if ((localSharedPreferences.contains("frontId")) || (localSharedPreferences.contains("backId"))) which decides if you have a camera it seems, then it counts the number of cameras inside that method.

I'm going to take a look at git and see if they changes the camera interface, which may explain why it only detects one on a lot of phones.

3) I'm looking for the reason video is shown but not sent on phones that it seems to be working on.

If anyone has some talent editing dalvik code post here or PM me if you are interested in hacking this a bit.

Update?

Any luck here? we are stumped over at the Evo 4G forum... we have gTalk working perfectly, only no video is transmitted. I think you are right about hardware drivers being the problem... since switching to the rear-camera causes a FC for me.

We also cannot receive incoming calls... is this also the case with your gTalk?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] BluechipJ:
I've got it running on stock 2.3.3 but uses the rear camera and doesn't have an option to switch.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] BluechipJ:
I was able to update my Rogers Nexus S from:

by flashing the stock 2.3.3 ROM:

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955719

That turned the phone into GRI40.

I restarted and it showed "NO DGSXXKD1" as the baseband but it connected to 3G fine. Went into software update and it said the phone was up to date. Waited 2-3 minutes and then it said there was an update available.

It is now running:

2.3.4, GRJ22, NO GHSXXKD1 [baseband], 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [kernel]

I haven't had any issues so far and can confirm Google Talk with video works without any issues.

[Defy General] arshes:
I am new to the Android phone, and I purchase the Defy on last sunday, I like this phone and those function, but I am thinking to upgrade the firmware to 2.2, the salesman say it can be download 2.2 OTA at April, but after a week and there is still nothing.

So now I am thinking upgrade to CM7, one question, after installed the CM7, can it downgrade to the original 2.2 OTA?

Also I am focusing to the Hotspot feature. Is it work fine?

my phone version is

2.59.0.MB525.Retail.n.CH18

firmware version

2.1 update1
[Defy General] rafaelw:
Yes, i have done that tomorrow. I don't like some modifications that i was used to, in the contact list, that have changed in the CM7. I'm gonna wait to another version to see if will get better what i want.
[Defy General] romdroid.:
it seems like cm7 is still in beta-mode if i was u i would wait untill a stable verison comes out ;)
[Defy General] ephumuris:
If you don't want to be flashing fixes every other day i recommend not going with CM7. It runs great for light usage but it has many issues for now.

I recommend going with a 2.2 rom like my EphuNord. It is a clean Blurless 2.2 rom with a few modifications to allow easy themeing. I also uploaded around 8 themes.

If you follow the correct procedures you can always downgrade as far as 2.1 again if you need to. :)
[Defy General] arshes:
thx for information, but which is the most stable for 2.2? I saw some post that some rom are not compatible?! Any recommandation? I want 2.2 or above.

I am lost on upgrade or not.
[Defy General] alaageria:
I want to update to ephnord 2.2

But want to downgrade back to 2.1

I am 2.51 uk(the phone came with it) :(
[Defy General] hardiksomo:
For Now 2.2 will be a better choice as the CM7 is its beta phases so let it come as a stable build...

N dude make sure while upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 you does not lose ur downgradability and for that use the excellent work from fritolays so that u can downgade back to ur original firmware just by flashing 2.1 firmware of ur choice back...
[Defy General] alaageria:
Were can i find fritolays`s work,thanks in advance mate.
[Defy General] slph:
If you're newbie (or just want to use phone, not patch it every day), then better 2.2

EphuNord is also good choise for you. They both based on latest official leaked 2.2 and very stable.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
Hello everyone. I'm thinking of buying a new phone. I am between Nexus S and the HTC Desire, but I don't know which to pick. ;-;

Nexus S

4" Screen

Super AMOLED

Google's own-branded device with faster updates

HTC Desire

576MB RAM. 64MB more than the Nexus S

So, opinions people? I want a good Android phone on which I can play games smoothly, because I have nightmares with my Magic. :P

Posting benchmarks, opinions etc will help me a lot. Thanks! ^_^
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katman4:
This is not a question.

HTC desire is a generation behind (it's equal is the Nexus One)

go with Nexus S and don't bother about Desire.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emdzej:
Actually i have both and:

- Desire is much more well made, feels better

- AMOLED screen in Desire (have Nexus S with SCLCD) looks better, but SCLCD performs better in sunlight

- Nexus S has a lot lot lot... more space for apps, system etc.

From features perspective - Nexus wins and hopefully will get more devs support soon.

Another nexus advantage - its google... gets updates asap :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutsonfire:
I also have both and both with Amoled.

As someone else posted Desire is one generation behind, we I play with it now it really feels old compared to the Nexus S. I definitely felt like getting a Nexus S was an upgrade from my Desire.

Nexus S +

Always up to date Android

Original Android experience

Bigger, brighter screen (at least amoled version)

Much faster

A lot more space for apps (Desire = 140mb only)

Nexus S -

No sdcard slot (not an issue at all for me).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDace:
this pretty much sums it up.

The Desire has some sick Devs porting everthing you want. Flashing things and rerolling back to Stock Sense is extremly easy with the RUU.exe files provided by HTC.

Problem is the internal storage: you have to use A2Ext, Data2Ext or a s-off the phone to gain access to fastboot commands for custom partition layout. This slows down the phone or can lead to Data integrity problems(Data2ext).

On top of this - the HTC Speakers are crap and the CPU/GPU is just too old.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
I came from the Desire and the Nexus S is an upgrade for me. The S-AMOLED screen while not quite as sharp as S-LCD is close and it's more readable in daylight.

Although it has more memory on paper, in reality Sense takes up that RAM. And the Nexus S has a lot more internal memory for apps, faster UI, better speaker, slightly better earpiece volume with better sound quality (call quality is important to me), nicer keyboard with a better dictionary, and much better battery life. The overall feel is of a much faster phone although the CPU is not really that much faster, but the GPU is a lot faster and that helps the user experience.

I'm very happy with the Nexus S, and my wife is very happy with my Desire.

:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopeypopey123:
I have had both phones and i personally think that the nexus s is much faster and if you decide to put custom roms on the phone then you can get well over 4000 on quadrant aswell ,, not that quadrant is a reliable benchmark ... so i say nexus s all the way!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambda30:
I had HTC Desire before my actual Nexus S. My conclusion ? I will never buy another non-vanilla Android smartphone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
^ Nexus series for life.

@OP: If your justification for getting the Desire over the NS because of an additional of 64MB in RAM then you should just go for those new dual core phones coming out.

It's a decision of:

A) Getting faster updates with a phone that is up to par but not dual core.

B) Getting the best hardware for like a month until something new comes out and get fragmented Android releases.

Note that the dual core phones coming out are on 2.2 (Froyo) which are not optimized for dual cores yet. And when that Android OS comes out, it'll take a while for them to get the new version.

Choose your pick. I chose (A)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yok-Yok:
Same question more or less. I have a galaxy S and think switching to the nexus s. As it is almost the same hardware does it make sense?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambda30:
It depends. If you're happy with the Captivate, then why would you change it right now ? Maybe if the Nexus had better hardware, then that would've been something to look for. But if you're happy right now and don't quite need the vanilla Android and it's updates/features, then there's not a good reason to change it. But, if you have problems with the Captivate, or you just feel like you need something that the Nexus brings, or maybe even if you just got bored of your phone, then why not ? It's your choice. Your needs. Your answer.

This normally happen first time after flashing new ROMs. Now my LeeDrOid v2.2.3 found about 7-8 satellites but still get a slow fix. Wonder why too.

but, i have coredroid v 3.3 for a long time... and i was tested some radios...

even i was re-flashed an OFFICIAL RUU (installed gps test and found 5 sat!!), later

full wipes and "formats" included... and flashed again coredroid v3.3 (like my syg says)but It continues without working with this rom...

in adition i don´t now what are you talking about "faster fix".... what is this? :confused:

hing that was you

EDIT: i found faster fix in the market! i´m going to study this apk...

Meanwhile can you explain me how can i do the thing that you was said me? --"""Did you change the gps.conf file under system/etc to your nearest ntp?"""""

thank´s!!!!!

SECOND EDIT: fasterfix.apk don´t fix my problem :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hmm that's weird. ROM problem? I don't think so.

Yea.. FasterFix is an app in the market. Which relates to the gps.conf that I am talking about. Basically you have change your ntp(Network Time Protocol) to your nearest.

You have to reboot once you changed them so it will take effect. I am also having problem now getting a fast fix. Last time was fast, now so slow. Practically when I am driving, I have to stop my car and allow it to get a fix first(about 3 minutes). If I was attempting to get a fix while driving it will take minutes(maybe 10 minutes?). Sigh.

Thats what I do every 2 - 3 weeks

Remove your sim card from the phone, boot it, download GPS Status & Toolbox

go menu - tools - manage A-gps state - Reset it and then download it and place your phone on a flat surface somewhere outside your house till it gets a fix/lock

then shut down your phone, put the sim card in

and you'll notice that you'll have a way faster fix/lock after that ;)

Hey,

I wondered if anybody yet stumbled upon this:

If you set your Virtual Device in Android SDK to 800x480 px, Target: Android 3.0 (API level 11) and hw.lcd.density to 200 (or 240), you don't get the "normal" Honeycomb design, but instead a more greyish and blue Version of a Gingerbread-like design.

Also you get some new features known from the tablet os.

There is also a Incognito function in the browser and a Youtube setting in Camera.

Like on Tablet, Some apps have big bars on top with their Icons (sometimes clickable) on front. (They probably won't make it to the final release, though as it wastes space...)

Plus screen rotation looks neat.

Also the Launcher app has 3d animations similar to the "normal" honeycomb launcher.

Settings don't work properly, though.

Also I cannot provide screenshots at the moment as I am at work.

Keyboard keys for navigating:

pos1 = home,

NUM 7 = turn screen (deactivate numlock),

Screen up = menu.

But as probably this has been Issued before (yet I couldn't find it in search), just ignore this thread. ;)
