I'm a little bit confused since google talk is supposed to work with video if you have Android 2.3.4 and Google Talk 1.3.
Well, the Chacha has Android 2.3.5 and also Google Talk 1.3 but can't even do voice chats with it.
So what's the problem, and is it possible to update this?
Most of the Google-Talk versions you could install with CWM are offline, and I don't think that this is a good idea anyway, because the result when I tried this was just a chaos.
Seems that Video Talk is not working with Arm v6 Processors. And stupidly Google connected voice talk to video talk (on the phones) which doesn't make any sense. So voice talk is not possible either.
I was able to get the video version to work on the chacha, but since the libtalk_jni.so doesn't seem to be compiled for arm v6, the video chat won't work anyway.
So bad news for everyone who is interested: No need to try unless we have a working libtalk_jni.so.

I had a hard time finding this figured I'd share it. It fcs when you switch cameras otherwise it works good. Clear cache before flashing.

Very nice. I'll throw it up for when I need to flash GAPPS. Is this the full GAPPS or just the GTalk?
*Looks like the full monte.

To clarify, does it initially open with the front camera so that you can use gtalk video, or does it open with the back camera so you can't use the gtalk video chat feature? Thanks!

Before you install that version of gapps read the last part of this. Bottom line is 0503 gapps is not compatible with Tegra devices. http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Not working...help?
Hey guys. I installed the latest gapps install as posted above, but google talk seems to not be any different. No video icon is displayed for contacts that I know have video capability and the Settings menu doesn't reflect having any video related options. I have a friend who owns a Nexus S with stock Gingerbread and can use google talk + vid. I also have a separate google account with a web cam. In both scenarios, I can see the other person and we can hear each other fine, but the recipient can't see me. I can see myself in the self-viewer window, so that must mean the video data isn't being sent right. Any ideas?
I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC1 Experimental ROM on a MyTouch 4g (HTC Glacier).
EDIT: NVM. I installed 20110613. I automatically went with the latest. Either my phone isn't supported for one reason or another or the gtalk + video isn't included in the latest gapps package. Am I missing something/confused here?
The newb needs to update his post. GTalk works, but video is not supported.

did ya read the qualifier on that page...."but does not include the new Google Talk with video chat due to there being no compatible library available for non-ARM7 and non-neon board devices, from Google or another OEM. This package should work on all 2.3.4 ROMs, and has the latest Android Market update in it, which includes in-app purchase support."
Not sure if thats the answer you're looking for.....
Now that Moto Atrix 4g finally has 2.3.4 (first Tegra 2 phone) maybe we can get a hold of GTalk 2.3.4 w/ Video chat support
Link is broken
You need 20110603 GAPPS and then flash a fix. Its in the Apps thread.
MIUI has it working out of the box btw. Tested it before I left this morning.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
Apparently this feature is acting up on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on their G2x and if so how did you manage to get it working?

What sort of issues are you having, and what ROM are you using? I had some issues with bluetooth and tts with CM7. I've switched over to EB 2.3.3, and all is working well.
Make sure you have everything you need installed.
Go to settings/voice input & output/text-to-speech settings/
If "Install voice data" isn't grayed out, click on that...it will take you to the market to download the voice engine.
I haven't noticed any problems with my tts, running my current ROM, but I also don't use Pico. I use Svox. It cost around $2-3 for the voice download, but it's much nicer than Pico.
Good Luck.
I'm running stock GB 2.3.3
I was hoping it would read text as they came in similar to the new WP7 Mango update but apparently the framework doesn't support that yet.
It takes me to the market, i download the application but then it uninstalls itself and shows that i have never downloaded the application before. I might install Faux123 rom and see if i can get it to work.

What app are you trying to d/l? I've never really tested out text message readers. I know Handcent will read the text, but IDK if you can set it to read as they come in.
I did test out Vlingo way back, and I must say...it was pretty good. I just don't like that it requires data usage (I'm on a limited data plan). But, for reading texts, Vlingo was pretty awesome. It even understood things like LOL (rather than say L-O-L, it would read it as "laughing out loud"). It even translated WTF, which of course made me laugh like a 12yr old kid.
I'm not downloading any. I was hoping the stock messaging application would do this as i kind of like the layout but sucks as far as security is concerned but that is an android thing.
I'll give the Vlingo a try and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.
As per title, one requisite of Skype is at least 600Mhz processor, which my Alcatel 890d doesn’t have.
I’ve found a list of older versions
Skype 2.6.0.75
Skype 2.1.0.46
Skype 2.0.0.47
Skype 2.0.0.45
Skype 2.0.0.43
Skype 1.0.0.984
Skype 1.0.0.983
Skype 1.0.0.831
Skype 1.0.0.659
Skype 1.0.0.614
Skype 1.0.0.538
Do you know if any of this has lower requisites? Or a third party app that let you use Skype?
Thank you very much.
Just install it on your device, it will work with lags, but will work.
I’ve tried already but it stops at the log in screen: when I press the button to log in a message says that Skype crashed and bounce me back to the log in screen
Are you sure that it is due to CPU frequency? Have you flashed custom rom's, installed custom kernels etc?
Yes, I'm fairly sure, I’ve read that somewhere on Skype website. There's nothing custom on the phone, I've bought it a couple of days ago and I’ve just installed a few apps.
So, you should try previous versions of Skype by yourself.
Will do. Thanks
I'm trying to get Skype running on a cheap Chinese 7 inch tablet (on 2.2 Froyo) for a friend and obviously it has no access to the Play Shop (formerly Android Market).
I've tried quite a few .apk's but the furthest I can get is where it lets me enter login details with my Skype account but then hangs trying to log in.
Has anyone ever managed to get Skype running on one of these cheap tablets or is it not possible?
I believe for front facing camera support, you need android 2.3 or later. Plus the processor of most of these cheap tablets don't support most apps, I read.

It looks like you tried sideloading skype .apk's but all of them hang.
Your best option would be to try flashing a custom ROM that has market support (CM7.2 or CM9 for example) and try Skype from there.

You can try running "fring" which will link to skype among others...not sure if it does video but it does sound.
I searched for days before posting this, and cannot find what I need. I tried to make it myself, but have failed thus far.
I need any older version of Hangouts that supports SMS (v2 - v17 I believe), but I need it modified so I can use it without being forced to update to the new version that does not support SMS. Versions 16 and 17 kick you out almost immediately. Version 2.1 lets me use it for about 10 seconds (and it works perfect) before kicking me out.
I would think this would be a common request for users whose primary number is Google Voice. I don't know why it is so hard to find a solution (but easy to find others complaining about it like I am here). A v17 modified apk seems like the easiest workaround to the problem to me, but I can't figure out how to modify the version number as I read somewhere. Can someone please just link me to an apk that will work? Even better if there is a dark version (yes, I know xHangouts does dark-mode but I am not rooted and want to keep Google Pay and NetFlix HD).
It would be so awesome if someone just made a Hangouts v17 apk that was black, supported sms, and worked without forced-update to play store version. Many users would thank you!
Alternatively, is there a different SMS app, that can handle BOTH the SIM# and the GV#? Why doesn't that seem to exist? I would like to recieve SMS for both of my numbers. I only ever want to send SMS using my GoogleVoice number (including when I ask Google Assistant to send a message... always use my GV#). I know I am not alone in wanting this simple functionality, but years have gone by with no solution that I can find (though some people change the version number in the apk to stop the forced-update... but nobody ever posts the modified apk... please post for me, I cannot get the apk editor to work so I can update the version number myself to 29.0 or higher).
