Got it working 100% on Evo4G.

Did a nandroid backup and wiped old install, wiped dalvick and wipe system and cache (I believe 3rd option down in clockworkmod).

Flashed latest CM7 nightly as of today (build 70).

Flashed latest Gapps (alternative 3 from first post)

Started up signed in and both A/V work on both ends.

Some phones have worked fully and failed somehow later on. This worked over 3g with good quality. Ill update if it fails later on.
[Android Apps and Games] mrant:
I tried to find the post I had followed originally, but could not locate it. If I find it I will provide a link.

I originally flashed a CWM compatible zip file which provided only the updated gtalk 1.3. This worked in that I could see audio/video icons, gtalk chat worked, but no one could see my audio/video status and any attempt to initiate would FC. Calls from PC to phone would ring without ever registering on the phone.

Next I tried manually installing the googlerservicesframework.apk along with an updated flashable file. Same results. The only one that worked for me was the most recent gapps. I flashed that, didnt do anything else, and now it works great.

Also, the new gapps did not break any other google apps. Gmail and everything else works fine. I did have to re-register after flashing, so maybe the people having problems need to clear data for gmail and go through the activation process again.

If requested, I can make available the version of googleservicesframework.apk I am currently running. Let me know

I have it semi working on stock 2.3.3 (test rom) Only downside is the video is sideways. Any fix for this? I heard people using CM had no issues due to the different camera app. Maybe we can use his camera app on this rom?

Did anyone make this work on LG Optimus 2x? (with some 2.3.4 custom rom of course)
[Android Apps and Games] ironstorm:
I used the signed "gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip" on the LG G2X (same except for radio) w/ CM7 nightlies for P999; GTalk starts, you can text chat, but if you go to Video chat it switches to a black screen and comes back immediately to the buddy's screen.

I read somewhere this was from libraries was compiled only to be compatible w/ ARMv6 cpus, not the Tegras we have (post).

I haven't spent much time digging into it though, so I'd also be curious to know if any other Optimus 2X or G2X owner's have had any luck...
[Android Apps and Games] kalpik:
Same problem here.. Any solution?

I am using Mini CM7 which is based on CM7. I tried flashing the CM7 zip file but the installation was a failure. Then i installed using the file manager method and was able to install it.

Now i can see the voice chat and video chat option ( i know i have only back camera) so when i try to call someone in voice chat the call never connects and when i start the video chat option i see a black screen for few minutes and it comes to the normal window. And people also cannot call me from gtlk.

There are 4 zips in attachemnts but dont know which is doing what ...

(should be explained in OP what exactly exact version do)
[Android Apps and Games] eliasadrian:
It is explained, just not pieced together the best I guess. NoWiFi means you don't have to be on wifi to use it, so you can do audio/video chat over data connection (O would assume 3G/H only, but I dunno)
[Android Apps and Games] stickperson:
will this work on the Thunderbolt? Running Bamf Remix 1.6.3
[Android Apps and Games] Chopes:
You need to be on a 2.3.4 based ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] marinos35:
nowifi mod v2 works with my Desire cm7 nightly-65

both video and audio. switching between landscape and portal while in video call also works. Wifi works and mobile internet also seems to work.

BUT I suggest using root explorer for the installation because you may not have enough space for the ZIP/recovery installation with the cm7 hboot (I didn't have)

To make some space, I removed music.apk, book.apk and rom manager. You can find newer and better versions at the market. Just use as always market enabler if you can't find them ;)

@OP,

sorry on my previous post, your CWM zip finally works on my Galaxy S i9000, except:

-on PC, no video by phone can be seen

-on phone, video can be seen from PC but phone uses back camera, not front

however, voice/sound works perfectly

this is much much better than nothing.. thanks to OP

[Android Apps and Games] gullygossner:
Used the ADB method

Running CM7 nightly 58 on Nexus S

-I can make a video call out

-seeing the other person via computer webcam

-they can hear me but cannot see me

-not 100% if the person can call me from the other end but I don't think it is the case, the tester was a noob

-the app is using my rear camera with no option to switch

Have to admit the voice quality and the video quality is pretty stellar via 3g even, quite excited for full implementation of this app. I see it as the future just so long as all devices can get 2.3.4 in a timely maner.

Talk_with AV.zip

Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip

talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip

talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip

Which one is the newest or the best (fully working)?
[Android Apps and Games] SamuelYan:
tons of thanks... it is exactly what i need!
[Android Apps and Games] frapaa:
I'm not 100% sure, so correct me if I'm wrong;

Talk_with AV.zip - the original Google Talk version

Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip - same as above, but with a hack so you don't need to be on wifi to use audio or video

talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip - same as above, but signed with test certificate

talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip - same as above, but with an additional fix for allowing A/V over cellular data (not wifi)

My best guess is that you should get the last one if you don't want to be depending on wifi connection when talking, otherwise take the first one.
[Android Apps and Games] hgalindo:
Hello, It works in my SGS, but the notifications does'nt work properly, if the phone is in stand by only notifies when a text chat message has been received, but no when an audio call is incomming.

But when the gtalk window is active all the notificatios works.

Any idea how to fix??
[Android Apps and Games] bruno.borges:
I'm trying to run this version on top of my Vibrant (no FFC) with CM7, but I get a FC every time I start a call to someone.

My guess is it is trying to access the FFC, but I don't have it. Is it possible to set to use the rear camera or simply not try to open it at all?
[Android Apps and Games] yaoming123:
Got it working both ways with CM7 nightly 76 for Nexus One. I guess it was just an issue of something not enabled yet on CM7.0.3 Now the only thing that doesn't work is that my icon doesn't show up as voice/video enabled on other people's devices, so they don't visually know they can voice/video chat with me. Thanks for all the help!

Okay so your hack works on the Samsung Epic4g (Sprint SGS) using the front camera. Problem is on 3g i only get a picture about every 30 secs. On Wifi it is usable.

So thank you for the fix, but any idea why 3g is so slow, does it not dumb down the picture based on signal? Even with my 300Kbps should be good enough no?
[Android Apps and Games] xilard:
The video chat works on 3g in Hungary. Does not your network provider blocked the gtalk's videochat over 3g?
