[APP] Google Talk from 2.3.4 extracted: NOT WORKING, Help Needed!

Hi everyone,
I downloaded the extracted .apk from latest Google Android release 2.3.4
The .apk is atached below.
I have had no success in installing the app on my 2.3.3 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S. I tried pushing it to /system/app via Root Explorer, but once you try to install package it just doesn't install by saying "Aplication not installed".
Im no dev or whatsoever,so I would encourage anyone who could help to make it work on 2.3.3, Google stated in Google Mobile Blog that Google Talk with Video Chat will be for 2.3+ devices, so it "should" work on 2.3.3.
Any help is appreciated! Share your thoughts!

Try pushing it into system/app and then change permissions. Reboot and post result.

Its not any different than the latest on the market?

Attach the .odex file here as well. However, can you link me to the place you took the file from? I might need the entire framework to deodex it

Link or get files below.

I doubt that it will work until you upgrade the OS version to 2.3.4, it might be integrated with os changes.

That was my first thought too, but after downloading the entire update it looks like that might not be the case. There aren't a ton of changes in there, and only two updated system apps. One of which is gtalk, the other is an nfc app(for supported devices obviously). I haven't looked through anything else yet(I'm slacking off enough at work as it is), but it would appear the changes are minimal.
Edit: found a new libtalk_ini.so file in /system/lib/
That may help? Anybody have time to try?

I really wish I knew how to do this stuff. I would love to give it a try but I'm so lost! Time to do some reading! LOL

The manifest for this apk says the target and minimum sdk version is 10, which is 2.3.3....so there's a good chance that after some deodexing and supporting files this will work no problemo

That's the key. It should work on 2.3+ as stated by Google, so I think i'ts up to deodexing and adding the proper files. Sure someone experienced can do it

Generally, yes.

I got it to run, but I can't tell how to start a video chat. I pushed the apk, and odex file to the system/app directory and the jnk.so file to the system lib directory. Ran Talk and it opened fine...

Btw, its very possibly its simply running the standard install of Talk.apk instead of Talk2.apk... I'll try removing the Talk.apk...
-- Confirmed. I removed the Talk.apk from the system/app/ folder... lost my Talk icon in the launcher. Rebooting; maybe it will showup after reboot.
-- Ok, now I'm not completely convinced that you can get rid of Talk.apk when you push Talk2.apk. They both may have to be there.

I also had this issue... The secret it the app is looking for two libraries in /system/lib, they are: libPDMaster.so and libPDMaster_Clipboard.so. So the install is:
1. install DocMaster.apk
2. make /system/lib r/w
3. copy libraries: libPDMaster.so and, libPDMaster_Clipboard.so
4. make /system/lib r/o

Sorry, but I don't see these two files?

You can find the files in the one of the official T-Mobile ROMs in the system/lib folder.

can somebody supply us with the 2 files separately cause it takes time for me to download 500MB for 2 small files.
thanks.

this one worked on my rezound, which doesn't have those lib files.
This one is for ICS:

but might work for GB as well. If not, pm me and I'll post the gb one from my stock rom.

Download "Bloater G2x". Goggle it if you do not understand. It was created by a great xda dev. Works every time. Be sure to thank the people that created it.

Or if there's still anyone out there that's needing the polaris apk, you can always just get adobe reader from the market. Has always opened every PDF file I've ever tried.

Is that a complete install that puts the files where they need to be, or does one separately need to obtain the two library files?

Pardon my ignorance but I've never used Polaris... can someone tell me what this app does?

[FIX] 30FPS Recording on GB Roms

Thanks to Jep56 for finding this (looks like gtg had a hand in this...THANKS!) I had no part in this, just making a thread for a wider audience to see, as I'm sure many people would like this fixed.
All this does is replace (backup your originals, always!) the camera.so files with the .so files from the UCKI3 leak. This restores 30fps video to GB.
INSTRUCTIONS
-Download the zip file and extract using a file explorer of your choice.
-Copy the four .so files and place them in /system/lib
-Reboot
You now have 30fps video on GB!
Tested on:
Infused 2.1 (Jep)
S7 (me)
Edit: DO NOT do this if you are on CM7
If you want to load the files on CM7, use this method
Misterjunky said:
Here is how you can do it too:
Get the newest CM7 if you don't have it already.
(9-29-2011)
1: Open the zipfile with Winzip or Winrar.
2: Navigate to the system/lib folder within the CM7 zipfile.
3: Drag & Drop the 4 camera files into the LIB folder.
4: Click "OK" in Winzip window and exit Winzip/Winrar.
5: Copy the CM7 rom zipfile to your sdcard in phone.
6: Flash CM7 according to the instructions.
Doing it this way works fine, but you will not see any
improvement in the video recording frame rates at all.
(no need to change any permissions)

Not sure. I'd assume it'd work for everyone, but I guess not?
If you'd like to try again, download the UCKI3 rom and extract the .so files from there.

I'm gonna flash infused 2.1
Thanks

Thanks but I actually read about replacing the system/lib files it in another thread. It might have actually been in the I3 thread. I tried it and it worked!

Yup, gtg gets the credit, I read in the KI3 thread that he was going to take the lib files and possibly update his ROM with them, along with the radio and some other files. I just jumped the gun with the camera files, and it worked!

What permissions do you have to set? Or are they already set in the files included in the zip?

Guys I want to do this but I dont have a rom, Im litterally stock gingerbread from Rogers. Will this work for me? Will I need to root? Thankkss <3

In other words we still have to set permission on our phones, correct ?

I simply downloaded and copied files over to /system/lib. No changing permission whatsoever was done. No reboot either. And the camera just worked fine.

Ok Thanks..

I tried it without changing permissions before I went all geek and it works perrfect as the files are in the zip, so no permission changed needed!

Wow... I thought the videos were actually OK before I did this. That just goes to show you that not everyone can see the differences as easily - at first. But now comparing two almost identical videos, HUGE difference. Running Infused 2.1.0 with Infusion 1.1.
Thanks OP and all who discovered this!

awesome
Works awesome man thanks a lot...did what you said to do and now i have 30fps...

It does work 100% perfect full 30fps when using Infused 2.1.0

4.0.3 camera .apk

Hi all, I did something stupid. I wanted to modify camera .apk to delete focus sound but I did not backup original .apk and now I dont have camera on my phone. It wont let me install modified .apk and I dont have original one-stupid I know. If someone could give me the original camera .apk from 4.0.3 original rom I would appreciate it,thank you.

Whats the problem extract it from ROM?
Badly I have the 4.0.4 cam from RocketROM still you can get the file in here if iam not mistaken someone made a mod for camera and its in this thread search it.

I dont have rom to extract from, I will download one from samfirmware and extract it from there, I just thought that someone here has it already extracted so it would spare me some time. I did search forum but didnt find camera .apk from 3.0.4, will try with .apk from 4.0.4,thank you.

So I still have same problem. I downloaded rom from samfirmware but I dont know how to extract .apk from it. I tryed to open rom file with win zip and 7 zip but no luck. With 7zip I can unpack it to the stage where I get chache, hidden and factoryfs .img files. I belive .apk files are inside factoryfs.img but I cant open it with any program. If someone knows the solution for this please help, thank you.

Still it wouldn't help you can mount the files and extract what you need but its gonna be odexed and you will have to deodex it again manually better look for a rom based on 4.0.3

I uploaded Camera from 4.0.4 to my dropbox hope this works just in case.... never tried to...

Well, this simple tool will replace your existing apps and Framework with DeOdexed one's but it's NOT a DeOdexing tool. You must prepare all files before using this tool.
I was doing this from Custom Recovery as it was the easiest way to DeOdex your ROM. Now we can do it on Stock Recovery as well.

So this isn't a too for even someone with more experience than a novice, but someone who is also not at all experienced in doing dev work, correct? One would require specific dev type knowledge about preparing their apps to be deodexed before using this too, correct? If it is something not to crazy to do, do you have a link with even some general info about doing it so people who aren't too familiar with the process could get acquainted with it?

Any chance to make it work on TWRP?

Simple, all custom roms are deodexed , if u ever used or will use one then this is it. it has to do with cache and ability to change the apk'. Most likely it will work faster too.
If you Google you find lots about it.
It really a simple thing. U should do it.
