Google Talk w/ Video Chat Possible w/2.3.4 Update?

Just wondering if anyone has tried this now that we have a leak version of Gingerbread.

excellent question

I have successfully installed the gapps file that they ported for the Evo. It installs fine and when I open up gTalk it shows me as video chat available, it shows my available friends that have video, but when I try to do a video call it force closes.

Here is where I got the file from.

I didnt install anything but the leaked GB rom and radio and if you go to contacts it shows a web cam looking camera at the bottom. I dont have any friends on this so cant test but from what I can tell its already included?

Yup works great except for they see me sideways.

!!Not Working!!

You call that great? all the videochat apps work just fine (as advertised) in froyo: tango, fring, qik, skype mobile (leaked not official).

I think that for my money Qik or Tango do just fine

Got it working (kind of) using latest CM7 build, direction is now the correct way but no microphone doesn't work. I can hear them but they can not hear me.

Doesn't a non-functional microphone kind of make it useless?

Qik and Tango do just fine. So does Fring (which also has group video) and the leaked Skype (of you're running a Froyo ROM. But this isn't about settling for just fine, or second fiddle, or just good enough. This is about figuring out a way to get gTalk working with Video Chat. Advantages is you can chat with someone on a phone, tablet, or a PC. To be honest I probably would not even use it much, it is just that I want to help because maybe others might have a bigger need for it. I know my wife loves it on her Evo and our Xoom. I figured since it has been leaked to the Evo for over two weeks now and now that we got a 2.3.4 ROM, we should be getting close.

Only a few things I miss on gb leak...Skype's one of them. Can't get gtalk to work. Fring/ tango aren't the best quality.

Great thing, working perfect for me on XXJVP with SpeedmodKernel!

QUESTION: What is different in your newer Version?

Nice one mate, thanks!

Well, in the first (older) build I had removed a command which may be needed.
May have caused froyo showing video-call options, while they're not supported on it!
Can't confirm this, as I'm not running froyo.

just curious: how did you do this? you can't get source from compiled binary files.. does this program reads these informations from a file in the apk which is separately editable like az xml or something?

great work man, tried on galaxy s 2 and works fine, many thanks!

Yess! Brilliant .. I came on xda to see if any one had ported it for sgs .. And to my surprise I was not dissappointed! Downliading now...

You can decompile an APK and get some byte-code though, then recompile it.

Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.

mine froze the first couple times. now it is fine.

We got the freezing issue too. Gonna keep testing it out

Which APK did you install? Or are they all the same? The stupid thing is that I don't even really use Skype at all. I just want it to work properly.

Video froze after 6 seconds.

I have the apk from the galaxy 2 forum and it works great in landscape and with the front camera. Is there any version that works with the rear camera and/or portrait?

This version of Skype actually is smoother than my pc. Has anybody found a way to to adjust the brightness of the camera it is extremely dark

Is there no way to make it portrait instead of landscape?

[Q] App that utilizes the secondary camera for video chat

I installed Skype thinking I could enjoy video chatting, but it tells me that if I have Froyo that I can only use the main camera, not the secondary. Are there any apps that make use of the secondary cam of the Triumph for the purpose of video chat?

You can use yahoo messenger it works pretty well
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App

I don't have the Triumph (yet) but try Fring or Tango.

Tango works on the Triumph.

anybody used triumph for video chat using front facing camera? how is the quality?

I used Tango last week with my brother (he was using a MyTouch 4G) on 2 bar 3g coverage. Video quality looked great. Audio quality was inconclusive on account that he was chatting from a party at a bar. lol

video quality is pretty good with tango but the sound was terrible phone to phone, weird crashing sounds in a perfectly quiet room

Tango works fine for me

That's true for Google Talk Video... but not for Tango. I am running Tango perfectly on a rooted Triumph 2.2
As soon as CM7 is ported for the Triumph, I will install Google Talk Video!!!

Tested it one a couple of separate calls, and both were surprised by the quality of the video. Thank you so much for the great hack.

Tango works for me, with decent coverage that is. Usually can't hear the other person though.

What makes this different from the one on the Market? I haven't had a chance to try out any video calls, but it seems to be the exact same and still tells me that 2.2 won't let me use the front-facing camera.

Except that there is another settings menu that will let you choose your front facing camera. It works well, and I thought the same thing at first until I had done a little poking around and found the added menu.

Oh ok cool. I had looked but didn't see anything. I'll have to try that out.

I tried Tango and it rawks. I am long distance dating a woman in Australia, and Tango allows us free calls (international rates are insane), AND video using my front camera. I am very pleased.

PC to SL video call?

Hello, can u guys suggest a very stable video chat/call like Skype. I uninstalled Skype for it always signs me out randomly when video calling (not just mine but others too) ive tried older versions too because the one in the market, the camera is upside down. Its always inverted (again not just mine lol). What other IM apps can my gf and i use?

google talk with video (search xda for this apk) ... Ammar's JellyBread theme does include it
OR yahoo messenger with video plugin
