Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

force it to stop, back out of the item to the list & then select it again. sometimes you have to go out & go back in for the uninstall to actually select

BootFlash - An App to install custom splash screens

SoCal Devs has just released a new app that lets you to easily install a custom splash screen on your phone whenever you want with no access to a computer necessary.
The Market page for BootFlash Pro is here.
Also available on the Android Market is BootFlash Lite.
Here is the description from the Android Market.
BootFlash Pro lets you choose an image stored on your phone to install as your rooted phone's splash screen. The splash screen is the image that is displayed on your screen when you turn on the phone before the boot animation begins to play. The splash screen installed by BootFlash Pro will stick across different ROMs, so that you can always retain the splash screen that you enjoy. You can change your splash screen as often as you want.
BootFlash Pro currently works on:
HTC Inspire 4G
HTC Desire HD
HTC Vision
HTC ThunderBolt
HTC G2
HTC Desire Z
Edit: Added support for HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G
and more to come!
Please do not attempt to use BootFlash Pro on any phone not listed here.
Edit: Force close issues on choosing an image have been fixed!

I'm sorry for these issues, it appears as though there was a problem with the APK that was uploaded to the Market. Could you please clarify if this was BootFlash Lite or Pro that caused the problem?
I have just verified that both the Pro and Lite version of BootFlash that are currently on the Market work on my Inspire running CM7, what ROM were you running when this issue occurred?

It was the pro version. Am running inspired ace 1.0.1

Also when I selected refund & uninstalled my refund wasn't granted, so I went back to the market & redownloaded & installed the pro version. But same thing happened, it was granted super user access but after selecting image it will force close. From looking at the market it looks like the lite version was updated but not the pro version. Really like the concept behind this app so anyway you can help is appreciated.

We apologize for all the trouble this has caused this is our first app and we may have released it a bit prematurely. We have identified the cause of the problem and a fix will be released soon, probably tomorrow. Until then, this app has been temporarily removed from the Market. I will post a reply here when we release the fix.

When the fix is released will be just an update or will I have to uninstall & redownload & reinstall? I ask since I already paid for the pro version.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

The fix will be released as an update. Thanks for your purchase and your patience we are hoping to fix it today.

Thanxs for the quick response. Really like the idea of this app.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Thank you for the application. I will have to test this one out and see how this method compares to the other methods of changing your boot splash image. It is always nice to have easier ways to accomplish things.

App Fixed
We have fixed the app and also, we have added more phones to the supported list. These include Incredible and Evo 4g.
It has been re-published in the Market and should be available shortly.
Thank you for your feedback so we can reach our app's full potential.

In this version we added licensing software, so let me know if you have any problems once you upgrade and I can fix it.

Alright I did the update, this time after selecting image & waiting awhile it gave me a not responding error with an option to report force close or wait. First I tried wait which didn't help so I force closed it. Then I restarted the phone & tried again, now It's telling me I didn't purchase the app. HTC inspire running inspired ace 1.0.1

New android market pushed to TMoUSA Sensation 4G

Android market 3.3.11 was pushed to my phone this morning. New interface, better performance, and better navigation.
If you have not got it pushed yet, you'll be getting it very soon. To force the market to search for the update, go to your apps, find market updater, and clear data.
Cheers!

3.3.11?
wasn't this pushed awhile back?
think I've had 3.3.11 for atleast couple weeks?
remember being pushed to my phone right around when Google music went public...

Also got the new market earlier today after buying some of the 10 cent apps.

Also got the new market today, had seen it on my old nexus one a few weeks back. Seems about the same speed but I did discover a bunch of medical apps I wouldn't otherwise find.

I got it on my nexus but they never pushed it to my sensation what's up with that

hate this
i still have the old market...i am unsatisfied with my phone.

Guys, is anyone of you experiencing Sense interface restarts every time an app is installed through the market?
I can't find if the culprit is this new market, an incompatibility with some apps I installed or a behavior due to the heavy Sense v3.0...

HELP...Android Market Carrier Billing MISSING...

Hey guys,
ok, this has been driving me crazy for a couple of days now. I had been using CoreDroid 8.1 in which the android market worked fine and I was able to bill my AT&T account for purchases on my Inspire 4G.
In the last few days, I've been trying a couple of new roms, like RunnyDroid and finally I settled for RCMix3d Runny.
I can not get the carrier billing option to work on either. I've searched and looked for every possible solution, including this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170421 (I've tried it several times to no avail).
Any ideas on how I could get the carrier billing option to work again???
thanks for the help!

It's been removed from all newer versions of market.
