and copy the lib to system/lib and after backing up, replace the Talk.apk (don't forget to delete the data first).. reboot and try.
Don't forget that you need to be rooted AND HAVE GINGERBREAD for that
New updated APK has front facing camera support! I'll check it out

If you go into details I "might" be able to help you. But "it didn't work" has "I don't want to ask for help anyways" written all over it...
'Worked' as far as I can see, without having anyone to test it with. I get the option to enable voice and video calls when changing my status, and 'voice call' appears as an option when talking to a contact.
can it use for 2.3.3?

Great The only thing I still have to try if video is sent from one Android-Talk App to another... It doesn't work for the desktop at the moment and it doesn't work for the front camera... that's probably why Google just rolled it out for the Nexus S... I hope they'll fix that soon!

I know i appologize for the short rude, it didnt work, statement.
I placed said lib in correct-is it replacing something or just drop it in?
Backed up old g app and moved at to external sd, then cleared data.
Uninstalled old app, and installed new app.
Nothing seemed to change for me, no voice or video options. Video option greyed out.

Ok, uhm, it should just drop in but afaik the Overcome Rom might already have the new GTalk app as soon as you read this..
Try the new link, it contains the update zip with a patched version
under your status you find something like "allow videocalls" try to enable that

Works on OC 2.0RC1. Front cam and voice, but FC's everytime I switch front to back cam...anyone else experiencing this...
Anyone have any idea why I can't get write permission on the system folders? I'm using file expert with superuser access, but for some reason it just won't let me change access permissions on the system folders.
*update* nevermind. Installed root explorer and it worked much better.

Im having problems with audio and video chat, the problem is i dont have any option to initiate audio/video chats?
I have selected allow video and voice chats but i dont know how to make them, only text chats.
I can recieve video and audio but i cant send any.
Also switching camera's force closes the app.
Any help?
i followed the instructions to the dot but had a little prob every thing works on my end perfect i can see the person and my front facing camera works as well but the other person can not see me i havent tried it with tablet to tablet i only have tried it with tab to pc.... any sugestion that could help me or should i just leave it alone up untill some thing new comes out its an att tab which i have rooted and updated the fermware on it to the europian version
First of all, I can't take credit for any of this.
I just tried random parts until 2-Way Video Chat started working.
I got all of the info and files from:
[APP][ROOT] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling, Now wifi optional!
This is tested working with JVH/JVB.
Edited 5/18 -- Simplified install instructions.
1. There are 3 files in this zip, gtalk.video.captivate.zip, which is not CWM flashable.
-Talk.apk is from Android 2.3.4 and is hacked to allow chats over cell data.
-GoogleServicesFramework.apk is from gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip
-libtalk_jni.so
2. Use Root Explorer to move Talk.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk to '/system/app/'
-Rename the old files (ex: Talk.apk.bak)
-Paste in the new ones
-Set permissions of both to rw-r--r--
-NOTE: Replacing the GoogleServicesFramework.apk will force you to sign back in to Google Services
-Some builds don't require this GoogleServicesFramework, but in my testing both JVB & JVH won't work without it
3. Then move libtalk_jni.so to '/system/lib/'
-Rename old file if applicable
-Paste in the new one
-Set permissions to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
5. Open Talk, click on your username, and check the box for 'Allow video and voice chats'
That's It.
Hopefully a flashable zip coming soon.
Bugs:
Video call only works in landscape. (portrait mode sends a blank screen from phone to pc)
Can only initiate calls from phone.

Hey just double checked it again with Continuum 5.4.1 (JVH Based) and it worked there as well. Zip definitely contains all 3 files maybe try to download it again?
I'll have to try this out
This works on my CM7 captivate. It's cool to at least see video chat with other gtalk users, even though it is a pain that they see what's in front of me and not me.

That was only for the Vibrant. You can retrofit the camera module that comes with the Euro Galaxy S onto it and flash a ROM that supports it and it will work. I remember seeing one of the MobileTechVideos where they did it and he showed you why it wouldn't work on Captivates. Part of the plastic body was in the way or something.
Thanks
Worked great for me thanks!!
would this work on rooted stock 2.2. I followed the steps from OP and once i restarted the phone I cant see Gtalk in my apps list now.

HELL YEA IT DOES, just tested on my Apex 8.2 (JVQ) and it works awesome.
Also i've only tested from phone to comp, no one in my lab has a ffc on their phone but I will be testing it tonight.
One bug is that sometimes the first time i try to call my buddies computer it sends them an error but when I try again it works out!
Nonetheless this is freaking awesome and lospulpo you have my thanks
This is fantastic, running stock MV. Works great as a streaming camcorder so my parents can watch my kids play.
This app bleeds my battery good, but well worth it...guess that's why I have 2 batteries ;-)

Make sure you are in landscape. If you hold your phone in portrait orientation it'll show blank to the other user.

Well, today I finally got my G2x.. The main thing I bought it for is the front cam so I can keep in touch with my family overseas. For some reason I cannot get GTalk 1.3 to make a video call. I've tried CN7, bionic, and eagleblood.. Nowhere I see the option to initiate the video call.. any ideas?

Hi, thanks for the replies. I would like to be able to do video calls to computer with gtalk or any program... tango is only phone to phone.. so which rom has the bread update that makes it work?
You need 2.3.4 Gingerbread (CM7) and the correct updated version of GTalk that supports video. I've never used it but I've heard some people have success with it while others can't get it working. Video in GTalk is not yet released officially so your mileage may vary.
I was in the Tango beta which works well now. It is a free download from the Market.
Hey guys,
Previously I tried installing Google Talk w/ Video on J's CM7 to no avail. However, now that we have the official GB from SE we can now install it and I can confirm that it is working on our X10s. I know there is no front facing camera, but it's still a cool feature to have. This feature is supposed to be only for the 2.3.4 update but it can be yours if you have root. Much thanks to developer (Paul from MoDaco) for creating this installer and BluechipJ for making the youtube installation guide.
More information is in the description on the youtube video.
Shortlink to directly download the installer onto your phone (visit this in the browser, on your phone): http://jp1.ca/googlevideoinstall
Thanks Again Paul from MoDaco and BluechipJ!
NOTE: I've tried a few zips from the below thread for non wifi video function but it didn't work. If anyone is able to get it to work let me know.

I get FC when trying to call or start video-chat with someone.
I am on WiFi.
Weird, I wonder why that is. I installed it on both of my X10s. One running rooted stock and the other Wolf's version. Both of them work fine. I noticed that we have to allow video and voice chats once you sign into talk. You probably already did it but for those that haven't yet press your picture icon and then it will go to a update status area and you can click it there.

I know this is pretty old, but I downloaded and installed the apk. It asked for root privelages and was given them. It removed my previous version of Talk, and that's all it did. It just sites there at the screen with the picture of the guy. I've restarted the phone and even tried it again, but nothing. Now I'm stuck with now google talk at all. I'm rooted on 2.3.3. Any help?
Nevermind. Evidently debugging mode needs to be turned on for it to install properly. Got it now. I wish this had an option just for voice and no video like the ICS version.
hay any help here

Hi guys,
As you know, our i9003 is not able to make video calls (3G or wifi). In Gingerbread doesn't work in any app, and only Tango and only in Froyo. As anyone port gtalk with video calling for our devices? Or mod some app like Skype, Tango, Fring or Ooovo to have video calls?
For a long time I have contacted a lot with the support of Tango, Fring and ooVoo. I have sent videos, many logs showing the issue, all they have asked me. But they aren't able to fix the issue. Even look at ooVoo email:
"Hi Unkalo,
Due to Ongoing Problems With This device is going to be it removed from the market. I'm sorry We Were Unable to get it working for you.
ooVoo is also available on PC and Mac, I hope you can join us there.
Best,
Roberta "
No comment. Incredible, Instead to try to fix the issue, they remove the app from our market...
Please help, together we can do it.
They removed the app just for not making it work for SL? Is that necessary?

Nobody want to help with videocalls?
In the last days, I have been working with Fring and Tango support. They send to me mods of Frings and Tango, and I reported them the results, and I sent them logs, videos, and screen captures showing the issue, and they sent me a new version, I tried, and started over with logs, videos, screenn captures ...
Today, the results are:
Tango: In Froyo Ok. In gingerbread, fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, and tango developers are working on zoom issue and audio issue.
Fring: In Froyo I think that green flickering issue, but I haven't been able to prove because I'm on Ginger. In Gingerbread: Fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, fixed upside down issue, and fixed zoom issue. In Gingerbread after fix rotation and zoom, appears green flickering again. Fring developers are working to fix it. But they are working on it, and that's good news for our i9003, as developers tend to ignore our device.
Skype and oovoo. KO in Gingerbread (black screen) and KO in Froyo (green flickering).
Gtalk video: KO. If someone could carry a gtalk mod to our devices, would be the best of news.
I shall tell you of new results.
We really need to get Fixed VIdeo Call Issue on I9003
Skype, Yahoo..Paltalk video calls also not working. we can see others. they cant see us..
phone to phone video calls working on my device. but not on Internet video call
If you keep autorotate ON always also. camera freeze sometime.
I don't know why they don't want to fix this issue.. if u start Yahoo video call. phone just rebooting.. on Skype. only one side video working..
Expecting fix on future version!!! Lets all shout together..

XXKPQ 2.3.6
To see what's new today
Fring support sent to me this:
"Hi.
Our developers suspect it's a device driver issue or memory issue.
We'll keep Investigating .. I hope we find something.
I really want to thank you for your Enthusiasm and help, Could we have got so far Without it. "
Drivers or memory problem ....??
In addition, ooVoo, launched yesterday a new update, I've tried a video call to PC (I couldn't try with another i9003) and for the first time, the video works perfectly! Only with the audio I have a problem, that my voice is very very distorted ... You can try oovoo and report here your results. I'm ginger, would be nice if someone with Froyo can tell us how it goes.
Come on guys!
in ovoo front video is working but no sound and back camera
Hi Guys,
Fring support send to me a new version, and no green flickering, no audio issue and no rotation issue, only zoom issue. Fring uses 640x480 resolution (native resolution of front cam), with 320x240 no zoom issue but appears green flickering. We can almost make video calls. I show a picture:
But using the camera's native app, using the front camera on froyo, the preview image was similar to when there is green flickering at Fing (320x240):
but after upgrading to gingerbread, the preview shows different, like full screen . I send you pictures so you can get an idea:
I think that here comes the problem of zoom, can be caused by this.
This week will prove this version of fring with my girlfriend (she has a Froyo i9003) and see how it works.
But if successful, someone could port drivers or libs of Froyo, to work well in gingerbread?Any developer could try that?
What do you think about it?
Please respond any developer
PD. Here you have, but beware the fring.log, it is getting bigger and bigger. Can you tell me how it works in Froyo?, in ginger only zoom issue, but and in Froyo? Feedback please.
If you want you can add me as Fring friend, my fring user id is: unkalo

I see you don't like reading too much
With the new version of ooVoo, at in gingerbread, video usually works well (if you have black screen, switch off cameras and it will works well, and if not send picture, hang up video call and call again), the only problem is with the audio, is heard very distorted and not understand anything. To fix it, up or down the volume of the call volume using the physical keys on the device, and that will fix the audio issue.
For now is the best we have so far, almost 100% functional.

Hi Unkalo. by any chance, have you tried this one already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18290748&postcount=1492
DO NOT download the latest one. Click on v11 and try that one out. you need to uninstall your current skype if you have one installed before installing v11. after that:
1. go to menu -> advanced settings -> force enable video calling
2. go to menu -> advanced settings -> use valid preview surface
3. go to menu -> advanced settings -> front camera -> rotation -> 90 deg
I haven't tested this myself but based on the loooooong thread I read, this might work. I'll give it a try myself tomorrow afternoon (i9003 is my gf's phone and I won't be able to meet her until then). I'll try to post back the result as well.
a little off topic, I can see you have gone great lengths to make i9003's video calling possible and we highly appreciate it. thanks man!
You can try it, try all options, and after post the results here. But I've never managed to get skype to work well with our i9003 ...
