[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLoNe1:
Hey guys, I got sucked in with the 6% cashback offer a few weeks back from Expansys, thinking that they would definitely be sending out the SGII on launch day, but at the moment they're saying that the phone 'should' arrive to them in ELEVEN days!

What a joke.

Anyone else going to cancel their Expansys order and go with Clove/Handtec?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
It says 5 days here: http://www.expansys.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s-ii-16gb-209114/

I also got an email from expansys today that said they are shipping out the phones on tuesday (which incidentally is 5 days from now).

It does say 10 days in the order tracking tool for my order though, but that is because it's got the wrong product code in the order tracking (asked them about this in an e-mail a couple of days back).

May 2nd is also a bank holiday in the UK so that's probably why they are sending them out on the 3rd.

This is the e-mail I got:

Edit:

When I look at the wording they might even mean that the first phones will be delievered on tuesday and not sent, guess we'll see by tuesday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimto25:
Yeah i bet they will be deliverd tuesday, mines with Gum Mobile and they sending them 2mrw for delivery tuesday so sounds like its a few companys doing it.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drukan:
Im curious as to HOW skins do what they do... Is it possible to create a skin or even modify an "htc" skin that will change 'framework' files, not just common 'htc.resources' files.

Ive done some serious googling and searching on the MAKE UP of these skins. Ive edited/modded a few, ive even tried throwing in extra files. ( i know that some sort of control files mut be there for any given item changed, it was just ruling it out) But i wanted to see if for a novice like me that only knows how to manipulate images and replace them, could ADD to a skin, not just rename and recolor it. Simply put ; can we make a SKIN change say status bar icons. We can change the background!

I theme every ROM, MOD, FIX, etc etc i put on my phone. Ive been doing so since D1. Which requires pushing framework-res and others back n forth.

I HATE green... so ive made personal themes (some shared) to remove all green aspects from android. If i could mod a skin to allow for MORE changes it could make my (and others) theme process easier.

ANY Info on this would be appreciated... and passed on .. ASOP roms have figured this out.. HTC finally added some support to Sense.. but welp i want it all.. lol

THANX...

[Android Apps and Games] brunes:
I confirmed this works on my Galaxy S i9000 with both video and audio only calls; however it is using the wrong camera and I can't figure out how to switch it to the FFC.

EDIT: Actually it is not sending video :( I was mistaken. I can see video though :)
[Android Apps and Games] skola28:
Tried it just as you had it shown on my Hero CDMA with CyanogenMod 7.0.2...

Runs, but gets stuck at the boot screen with a wonky 'loading' type circle animation in the upper right hand corner. Eventually I get a Force Close.

Trying to do a Fix Permissions now...

[Android Apps and Games] Androidboy35961:
I want this on my phone also.... GRRR!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Budius:
Tested on nexus one running 2.3.3:

Installed OK, needed a "adb root" to have full access... I did it on recovery but I reckon it would work anyway.

Tested, I could see and hear the person perfectly clear.. but the person couldn't hear or see my camera image.

Tested on AdventVega tablet running 2.2

adb does it stuff but the Gtalk icon simply disappeared from my tablet. I'll try soon to install 2.3.3 for it...
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Ah you need to mount the /system partition as RW.

do a :

adb remount

or (for my nexus one)

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
[Android Apps and Games] Budius:
u need

adb root

to make it work
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
I'm on it.

edit: uploaded here
[Android Apps and Games] JOEOZUNA4U:
thanks ...........
[Android Apps and Games] Budius:
but what is the point?

it only works one way... u can see and hear the person in the PC, but the person on the PC can't see or hear you....
[Android Apps and Games] dmesg:
I have the following behavior:

- Mobile can initiate the call. During the call mobile sees/hears the PC; PC hears, but does not see the mobile.

- PC cannot initiate the call to mobile. Mobile is not shown with video/audio icon.

[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
hmmm I made a test voice call across the world and it worked both ways.
[Android Apps and Games] pcboyy:
how can i use 'uninstall' command using Terminal app? it says unknown command
[Android Apps and Games] edude03:
Same phone, same issue. But in addition, Gtalk only detects one camera (rear). It seems to be an issue with the way samsung implemented the camera interface, but I'm looking into it.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Here's an testkey signed update.zip.

edit:it works

Note: This replaces Talk.apk with the new version. Make sure you have a backup if you need to go back to the old version.
[Android Apps and Games] Budius:
hey guys...

when posting test results would be very useful if u state which mobile u're using and what software version.

my test was video/sound.
[Android Apps and Games] pcboyy:
You forgot to rename to .zip :) but its understandable

Anyway i get FC on talk app with both methods (adb shell and cmw)

any idea why it force closes on the desire?

i need to find the original Gtalk Apk and flash it again any idea where i can get that ? hehe..
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
Very disappointed Google still down allow me to switch Gmail account in Talk. Does anybody know how to do this yet?
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Hmm, the update.zip I posted uses 'Talk.apk' for the new apk and many report it works.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
It should be in any of the gapps packs.
[Android Apps and Games] androph:
Try logout....open app....then initiate call In landscape.

One if these always works for me
[Android Apps and Games] kamontryst:
no install issues works fine from my end (mute microphone does nothing however) no video on pc, when i attempt to call from pc i get a simple "unable to start voice/chat" when i initiate call from phone it times out in the first second, then succeeds on second try. and i must be on wifi to use it

one note however, if pc account is tied to a gtalk on an phone tablet (in my case vegantab b5.1) the chat defaults to the tablet, and not to the pc until you sign out on the tablet
[Android Apps and Games] chewlee78:
Very weird, I did everything according to your instruction but it just no Gtalk icon appear in my app drawer.

Does this apk only for Android 2.3 and above? Does Gtalk limited to certain countries?

Galaxy S i9000, android 2.2 I9000DXJPB.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1:
Getting rid of "fuzz" incoming video feed

Turn off any firewall you may have enabled (or allow an exception for Talk). I had similar results until I (re-)enabled the Talk exception in DroidWall.
[Android Apps and Games] thecrucible:
You are correct, and per the OP this application is for 2.3 and above. As for country restrictions, to the best of my knowledge there aren't any.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Thanks, it's working now! Although I'm at home now. Any chance that it's caused by my work blocking that port or something?...
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
The official update Google is now pushing OTA seems to fail if this new Talk2.apk is already in place.

Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Talk.apk", "53dad6e7e2781E:unknown command [e1132ba110311031d4cc34275cc",]

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I assume this is because it finds the wrong Talk.apk, or no Talk.apk at all. Can anyone direct me how to get the previous Talk from 2.3.3 back? Unfortunately I lost my backup of Talk.apk.

Can someone please post the original and any lib file that is needed to go back too.
[Android Apps and Games] metaldood:
lmao.. I just tried in landscape mode!

Now I can see video on my Inspire 4G but I cannot see video on my PC :(... Maybe because I don't have ffc... but even if I turn my phone around, I cannot see the video on PC.

Voice still works...

Edit-- now it doesn't . Oh well it works sometimes now
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
I tried putting the original Talk.apk back but it still fails :(
[Android Apps and Games] coupetastic-droid:
Ok, so I've downloaded the talkwithav.zip and installed it on my and girls mytouch via root explorer by coppying the talk apk to system/app and the lib to system/lib.

I see the camcorder icon beside my name on my phone and the same camcorder icon besides my girls name on her phone.

We can chat regularly like usual, but how the hell do we make voice or video calls to each other?

When I click on het name and go to settings/more I see a selection for voice chat but it doesn't let me select it. I don't see an option for video calls anywhere.

SGS JVB - WORKING VIDEO + VOICE / only landscape + only one cam ;]

ive got

SGS with JVB

...

attached cwm makes your

video + voice work

but only in landscape mode ;)

you also

can call your open sgs talk account

ofc...

plus i do not know how to chane the camera to front one but who cares ;]

and mic is not workin when you phone android from pc ;)

flash at your own risk... back up GoogleServicesFramework.apk on your own...

idea came from this post -> UPDATE: FULLY FUNCTIONAL Google Talk video!

so all credits for that goes to addisonhammer
[Android Apps and Games] Weedalot:
i am running gingerbread with darky's v10 one before final and i can only start outgoing calls and video but it wont accept any. tried to check uncheck the tick box (enable voice and video)

any ideas? i've just removed the ta;l.apk from system/app and instead placed the talk3.apk there and the proper file in the lib folder... anyone got an idea what is wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] rizdroid:
Tried it... after pushing those files using Root Explorer I'm able to voice/video call Android from computer, but there is no audio in/out. Audio in/out and video in work when calling from Android.

[Android Apps and Games] $omator:
true on than no audio there ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Weedalot:
well one issue, when i make the voice call it goes both ways when i receive the call i can only hear but i am not heard.

ive used the gtalk2.apk file from this post and the googlevoice and the googleframework from the one in your link...

anyone managed to fix this issue? or should i try another way?

edit: bah I'm too slow :P
[Android Apps and Games] $omator:
yup plus who knows what will get broken after flashing this ;]

hope someone will figure it out
[Android Apps and Games] rizdroid:
After I read your post about landscape I tried it... landscape video out is working both ways. No audio in incoming calls yet.

What I've done so far

Using Titanium:

1. backup gtalk (prev vers)

2. uninstall gtalk (prev vers)

Using Root Explorer:

3. copy Talk2.apk to /system/app

4. copy libtalk_jni.so to /system/lib

5. rename /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk to .old

6. copy GoogleServicesFramework.apk to /system/app

7. copy googlevoice.apk to /system/app

8. delete /data/dalvik-cache

9. reboot

I did notice the screen goes all garbled if the other end does not support video. But if video is enabled on both ends, works great.

Even works over T-Mobile HSDPA+

Great work!

HICan anyone give some insight? My camera is turned 90* so everyone sees me turned sideways. I also don't have the option to switch from front to back cam. I only have the mic (mute) and chat buttons when I tap the screen.

Evo, Fresh 4.0.0.4 running 2.3.3, lith gapps, and 3 files from OP set to:

cameragoogle.apk rw-rwxr-x

googleservicesframework.apk rwxrwxr-x

googlevoice.apk rw-rwxr-x

seems to work except for the cam is sideways and no option to choose back cam (which I don't need anyways).

Thanks in advance - let me know if you need more info to help with this prob.

It seems like I need a different camera apk as this version of talk (or camera) doesn't allow for switching the front/back camera. Maybe that is also causing the rotation problem. Does anyone have a working camera for evo?

My G2 only has a rear facing camera and outgoing video calls work just fine. Youll need a mirror, but technically it works great. Same for incoming video calls.
