[Q] How to get video on Gtalk

I have a Galaxy S I9000, that was bought with Froyo Version, after reading a few things someone said that with Gingerbread version gtalk would have video, so I found the ROMs, and updated it to version 2.3.4 witch is a lot faster then the original one, but I open Gtalk and can´t see any video icon to start using Video with contacts? It seams that is not funcional outside US, so how to overcame the situacion?

[Q] BTMono?

Which ROM would provide the best balance of having BTMono work, being able to OC to 1.5ghz & no reboots ... please?

A2dp doesn't work on aosp roms, so stick to an ota based rom. 2.3.3 for gingerbread.

My understanding of the btmono app is that it streams audio to a mono bluetooth earpiece .. no a2dp needed ...
I see that they have the app for froyo, but not for gb ....

Btmono doesn't work on any roms I've tried. Gotta love nvidia.

[Q] CM7 video playback

I've got an Infuse 4g with the "compiled CM7" ROM... I'm getting slow video playback.
The test material I'm using is a TV show, transcoded using handbrake on the iPhone 4 preset, modified for 800px screen width.
Plays smoothly on computer and on phone using MX video player on software decoding setting. Does not play smoothly in the included video player or in MX with HW decoding setting.
Is there anything I should try to fix this, or should I pick a different ROM?

I've now briefly tried both numas and zeus and have decided that I definitely want an AOSP ROM... I think. So I need to get video playback and recording working well if possible.
Maybe someone could point me towards a couple ROMs... I'll try all of them if I have to but I'd rather be able to settle down with something I like now. Here's what I want:
- Minimalism. The default android stuff is hopefully default for a reason, and that reason is that it is more stable and does what it needs with minimal consumption of resources. Basically the opposite of numas, from what I saw in the few minutes I spent on it. No offense to the dev, of course, but it's just not me. So basically, CM7 or something like it.
- No touchwiz. Me no likey. At all.
- Gingerbread, of course
- Everything should work.
These requirements are ideally fulfilled by the CM7 rom with properly working video, but for now HW playback and capture are both giving me problems.

Alright... You want gb with everything working... Lol. Go by an HTC..... YOU need to learn how to USE android. Because you can make Zeus and Numas as minimalistic or not as you want. You just have to learn. Noob.
Continuing from other thread.. Don't make battery observations of guesses til you have used it. They all take a lot of energy. A lot of it die to the screen. Never had a problem streaming any videos with default of MX

On the playback side, I'm trying to play the video on numas and it doesn't play at all. Says it can't play it. So it must be in a bad format.
So, I'm going to switch back to CM7... Still think it has video recording problems.

try dice player. its the best. if it doesn't work try a different encoding. the infuse has a better gpu than the i4 (both from imagination texhnologies) on a similar CPU (its made by Samsung) and the 4s has a better gpu and cpu but the gpu is also from imagination technologies. the i4 settings should have no trouble on the infuse unless the iPhone has better drivers or kernel design but who knows. you might have to play with the encoding.

[Q] Video Calling

Can anyone help? I am running Hellfire Phoenix's newest rom on my g2x and i can not make video calls via messenger,skype, ext, ext. I'm sure its a setting and not the rom.(rom is awesome) I have searched for a week and can not find an answer. I have noticed some users only had the back camera working with a video call but there was a fix for that. My problem is no matter what app i use i do not have the option of video calling only voice or text. is this a missing driver problem? its like my camera's are not seen using any app for video calls.
Thanks

HF Phoenix is ICS based or GB? If ICS based, that's the problem

[Q] Slingplayer app wont work with AOSP roms

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why a certain app, Slingplayer, won't work with AOSP roms. I have tried many of them and the only one it would work on is MIUI. The app works fine on stock based roms. Seems that other streaming apps work fine with AOSP. I'm really wanting to run PA or AOKP but I watch tv with Slingplayer constantly and cant do without. Anyone have a slingbox and ran into this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that the app works for audio just no video.
