Not being a jerk. I'm just making it plain for all to see.

Neither rude nor childish. What was irresponsible was posting a question that has been clearly answered by the Developers themselves.

I never claim to be nice, i just claim to be honest.

edit :

You have no clue how i posted that. If you took it as insulting the problem lies with you. You can ask anyone of the other members here. I am never insulting or demeaning to any of the members. It's pointless to be rude to people that you've/i've/we've never met.
[myTouch 4G General] gruuvin:
What I read yesterday is that the Google+ app already had the ability to join a hangout in progress, but that the new app being released adds the ability to start a hangout.

Now, I don't think the Glacier ever had the ability to do video chat with google apps. But, after reading yesterday that the Google+ app has already had the ability to join a hangout, I've tried joining an existing hangout with my google+ app but could not find a way to do so. My app is up to date via the Market, but that can be difficult to verify since the market lists the version as being device dependent (and so we could be left out of the latest versions), and since we never could do video with the Talk app., I kinda wonder if I'm chasing my tail here or if video DOES work for us now.

So, has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success in video chatting with Google+, or have we been left out of having this ability?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Deleted post.

Rude PM from [OP]. I no longer offer help to this memeber
[myTouch 4G General] gruuvin:
Possible for a non-rooted phone? Have you tried it with success? If so, where are the .apks and .libs (more than one?) and how does a non-rooted phone have these successfully installed (instructions)?

And yes, please understand before you insult me again, that I HAVE been searching this forum for these answers (by my ability to read). I'm asking for someone to explain how this is done; not just confirm that they know someone else that did it... I mean it's nice to know that it can be done, if that is indeed true, but you have already started this conversation off on the wrong foot, matey, and it would be nice if you would just give up your fight and let someone else respond if they actually have HELP!
[myTouch 4G General] gruuvin:
good riddance, it was of no help anyway. Your rudeness was public, so I moved my responses to private (PM) out of respect for the forum.

I'm sorry people, for that display; can we get this back on topic now?
[myTouch 4G General] GazaIan:
He wasn't rude. You didn't read. He made it more clear for you. You're overreacting. I'm done.
[myTouch 4G General] theonlyhan:
Cease the fight people. We must unite.
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
If I remember correctly I have successfully joined a hangout using the stock ROM, but it was definitely rooted. I know I've used CM7 to hangout. Decent feed as long as you're on wifi, the mic is a little sensitive though and gives some feedback, esp if you're in a room with someone else in the same hangout.
[myTouch 4G General] Foo_Blyat:
He answered your questions, stop crying
[myTouch 4G General] gruuvin:
The information that was highlighted in GIANT RED LETTERS is about the release of a feature to INITIATE a video chat, BUT, the google+ app has allowed JOINING a video chat for a while now. Here, let me repost what information I already read before starting this post:

"Back in September, Google added the functionality to be able to join a Hangout from any Android phone running Android 2.3 and up. One of the biggest frustrations, however, was not being able to initiative a Hangout from your mobile device."

SEPTEMBER! this ability has been around since September. And yet I haven't seen or heard of it working with our phones this is why I posted a thread.

Regardless of the latest release, it seems that a non-rooted MyTouch 4G cant do video chat with the google+ app., nor could it do it with the Talk app. I would like to know if anyone has had success with making video chat work with google apps on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G.

But, it looks like you guys didn't read my questions -- those are the sentences with the question marks at the end. I quoted them above, but I'll try to make them simpler to understand. (Some of you senior users need to just move on if you see something that annoys you, instead of attack dogging people because you don't like or understand the way a question was posed.)

Has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success with video chat for the Talk app or the Google+ app?

If no...

Is this because Google left out this capability with the Talk app?

Is this because T-Mobile has locked out these features?

And this is implied:

If yes...

How do we make video chat for the Talk app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?

How do we make video chat for the Google+ app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?
[myTouch 4G General] gruuvin:
I guess I could ask one more question:

Does anybody have a non-rooted MyTouch 4G that can answer these questions based on experience?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
Hey,

For anyone that has the time/interest in making a boot animation, can you please cook up something good that is related to hookah?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
Perhaps something with this?

http://image.hotdog.hu/_data/members2/162/43162/images/hookah.gif
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I would love to see something like this too lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Is this a single picture or do you have a series of picture frames? I can probibly cook up a boot pic with this picture to pop up but without other frames there will be no animation
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
I will come up with something when I get home for you, least I can do for MinimalBlack man, did you want that exact image? I could probably invert the colors so that it isn't so bright for a boot animation if you like.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
I believe that there is a program to extract the single frames out of a .gif image, no?

That is all that I have...found it on google. The animation would be great.

Saramon, inverting the colors is a brilliant idea, now that I think of it lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Ya, I forget the name of it off the top of my head that I use, but basically you have to split the gif, and convert each image to a .png. I have done a few before, but I am at work and don't have access to the stuffs I needs
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Things are underway, I needed to download adobe premiere to invert the colors, once that is done, I should have this made in about an hour or so for yas
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peadroid28:
I know this may be alil extra but would you be able to add like the android logo to the smoke when they blow it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Um, that would be a little beyond me... I got a few friends though that do that sort of stuff, I will do the one up there, and will run it past them to see if they can do that. Video editing was never my forte...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Well so much for inverting colors, I can't find a software that will do it for free, unless it only does half the image. So I will just put the white one up, and see what I can do about getting the colors inverted with my graphic design buddies, they may have software I don't. Adobe premiere would do it, but I am on 32 bit, if anyone has a 64 and wants to do it and send it back to me I would appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
How about gimp? I love it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Isn't gimp linux only, and if you would be so kind to invert the colors and send it back to me I would be thankful...

Otherwise I will have to take another look tomorrow, my buddy will be looking at it later and will do what he can. So tomorrow I should have this done. Sorry, phone took a crap tonight, so I had to restore and **** so priorities...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
You all are amazing =]
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Nope its for windows also, I believe gimp was originally on windows first, but if you dont have it done I couldinvert it real quick
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Pretty pretty please :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Here you go :)

I didn't know whether to erase the grey or keep it so I just left it as is
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
See that is the problem I had too, it is only one image, and not animated...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Maybe th animated part could be the smoke? Hm
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
The entire thing is animated, the arms of the dudes, and them blowing the smoke out...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Wait is there moe pngs or are you animatin it yourself?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
I am just going off that gif that was posted on the first page, it would have to be split into different frames (over a hundred) and then edited each frame... I was looking for a program that would do it, and there are a few out there, however they will only let you convert half of the video...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Its a gif?... I fail. I ddnt know. Lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Hahaha very funny
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Ya i thought the same thing lol Most of the time im on Tapatalk through my phone and it doesnt show up as a .gif Ill give it a shot at inverted but it may take a minute :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Haha I even lookedat it on my computer and didn't see no animation, wow lol, cool thanks :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Alright guys i just finished the bootanimation. It only took my since my last post to finish it lol. I though it was gonna take me forever.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Its weird because i have always wanted a hookah bootanimation but never thought about making one. When i saw this thread i was like no way!! but ya i agree with you. If people dont smoke hookah then its useless lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_dark_knighton:
Would this work on an MTD rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Ummm to tell you the truth i have no clue :confused:

I would assume so but i wouldnt try till one of our Experience Dev's says its cool
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
Awesomesauce, I couldn't for the life of me invert the colors
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
For future reference i used Inframeview to batch convert the .pngs to negative ;)

So hows it working for you? I can make the animation slower or faster depending on your liking. Also because i had to risize the pics to 480x800, it made the animation not as crisp

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Also to Elixis if he ever sees this make sure to UPDATE the OP with [SOLVED] and post the link to the animation for people who may want it :)

If i helped you dont forget to hit thanks! :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saramon:
I didn't intend upon using it, was just helping out lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
Wow....about to try this out! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixis:
Flashed perfectly..thanks again for this! Are there any restrictions to which phone/OS version that this can be flashed to, before I share it with friends?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Works on mtd if you mount system in cwm first.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
Thanks marcussnt :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
It all depends on the screen size. For example ours is 480x800 but other phones could be 250x400 or whatever else. If its not the exact size of the phone then it won't work unfortunetly
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed this and it didn't work.. I understand it could b cuz of my kernel but I wanna make sure..

I'm running thunderhawk 3.3 with minamalistic black theme and shadow kernel v.1.1 I think its one of the older ones..

u think there's any other reason other than the kernel not supporting custom boot animations that this isn't working on my phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
well its hard to say but it just sounds like your kernel doesn't support it like you stated. Its been working for me but I'm on Clean GB with its included kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I keep reading about this modem thing but what exactly is it? And do I need it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Its the radio firmware for the phone, and yes you will need it if you want your phone to function properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
it's found between mode L and mode N

kidding aside, it's the actual part of the phone that makes it a phone.. without it, you have the sprint epic touch galaxy s 2 doorstop (well, android would still work, but no calls/texts... it'd basically bad a 4.5" tablet)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
So why do people switch em?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Various reasons..

-To try and fix issues

-To return to stock

-Because they just have to be on the latest (but not always best) revision

Go into system/etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.BAK with some sort of root file explorer, you may still get prompted for the update, but if it trues to install it will fail.

Try Es file explorer or reboot the phone and try again sounds like superuser isn't picking up permissions for the program properly.

So I was having the update prompt and renamed the certs file, but still get the prompts. There any plans to block ota in future versions of shift so a won't have to see these prompts any more? Side note loving the ROM oodles... Ya I said oodles, what cha gonna do about it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] srk468:
It's not just that but this rom is based on the .5 build instead of the .9 so it will keep trying to update no matter what you do. I hope he comes up with an updated rom soon cause I love this rom but I hate getting prompted to install the update all the time so I guess I'm going back to a stock rooted rom for now :(

Looks like it's officially in the Market, too! Here's a market link in case you're uncomfortable allowing it to "Autoly check." At least I THINK that's what that option is supposed to do!

As one of the reviews says, this definitely feels like a beta release. I'm sure they'll add more translation in future releases, because right now the heavy amount of kanji is kind of a turnoff for a person who doesn't know how to read that.

EDIT: looks like you can add wallpapers by dropping them into /sdcard/miui/wallpaper
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thekingofmean:
I second that. I love MIUI, it's pretty much the only rom I ran on my Evo. That being said, the chinese characters are annoying.
