No Google+ Hangout? Are we the "out" crowd?

Since July, I've been eagerly awaiting the ability to video chat with friends using google's Talk and today I read that the Google+ android app has added the ability to to start a "hangout" (Google+ videochat with more than one friend at once).
Are we non-rooted MyTouch 4G users forever in the "out" crowd on this because google won't give us a basic video chat feature for their Talk app? I mean c'mon already, we are at Android 2.3.4 on this wonderful lil powerhouse of a phone with front facing cam, and I don't see any video support for google apps yet....
... have I missed something?
... or is this T-Mobile locking us out of this functionality?

From http://www.androidcentral.com/google-app-set-receive-big-update-will-now-allow-you-initiate-hangouts
The Google+ Android app has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Back in September, Google added the functionality to be able to join a Hangout from any Android phone running Android 2.3 and up. One of the biggest frustrations, however, was not being able to initiative a Hangout from your mobile device. Google has finally brought that ability to the app by allowing you to start a Hangout from Messenger. If you've started a a Messenger group, you'll now see a camera icon that will initiate a Hangout with a simple tap.
Great features just keep coming. Google announced on their blog post that the app will update in the next few days, so keep your eyes out. They also announced that similar functionality will be brought to iOS so you'll be able to Hangout with your family and friends even if they have iPhones and iPads.
If you don't yet have the Google+ app, please find links to the free app after the break.

The new Google+ app will be available in Android Market within a few days, and it’s coming soon to the App Store.

And even if the app doesn't show up in our market i'm sure one of our awesome hackers/devs will be able to fabricate the app to work on our phone. But their blog says it's work on any device 2.3.x+ so yes it will work on our phone.

That was an extremely rude and childish response! If you can't offer help without being insulting, you should consider not posting and just moving on!!

Neither rude nor childish. What was irresponsible was posting a question that has been clearly answered by the Developers themselves.
I never claim to be nice, i just claim to be honest.
edit :
You have no clue how i posted that. If you took it as insulting the problem lies with you. You can ask anyone of the other members here. I am never insulting or demeaning to any of the members. It's pointless to be rude to people that you've/i've/we've never met.

What I read yesterday is that the Google+ app already had the ability to join a hangout in progress, but that the new app being released adds the ability to start a hangout.
Now, I don't think the Glacier ever had the ability to do video chat with google apps. But, after reading yesterday that the Google+ app has already had the ability to join a hangout, I've tried joining an existing hangout with my google+ app but could not find a way to do so. My app is up to date via the Market, but that can be difficult to verify since the market lists the version as being device dependent (and so we could be left out of the latest versions), and since we never could do video with the Talk app., I kinda wonder if I'm chasing my tail here or if video DOES work for us now.
So, has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success in video chatting with Google+, or have we been left out of having this ability?

Rude PM from [OP]. I no longer offer help to this memeber

Possible for a non-rooted phone? Have you tried it with success? If so, where are the .apks and .libs (more than one?) and how does a non-rooted phone have these successfully installed (instructions)?
And yes, please understand before you insult me again, that I HAVE been searching this forum for these answers (by my ability to read). I'm asking for someone to explain how this is done; not just confirm that they know someone else that did it... I mean it's nice to know that it can be done, if that is indeed true, but you have already started this conversation off on the wrong foot, matey, and it would be nice if you would just give up your fight and let someone else respond if they actually have HELP!

good riddance, it was of no help anyway. Your rudeness was public, so I moved my responses to private (PM) out of respect for the forum.
I'm sorry people, for that display; can we get this back on topic now?

He wasn't rude. You didn't read. He made it more clear for you. You're overreacting. I'm done.

Cease the fight people. We must unite.

If I remember correctly I have successfully joined a hangout using the stock ROM, but it was definitely rooted. I know I've used CM7 to hangout. Decent feed as long as you're on wifi, the mic is a little sensitive though and gives some feedback, esp if you're in a room with someone else in the same hangout.

The information that was highlighted in GIANT RED LETTERS is about the release of a feature to INITIATE a video chat, BUT, the google+ app has allowed JOINING a video chat for a while now. Here, let me repost what information I already read before starting this post:
"Back in September, Google added the functionality to be able to join a Hangout from any Android phone running Android 2.3 and up. One of the biggest frustrations, however, was not being able to initiative a Hangout from your mobile device."
SEPTEMBER! this ability has been around since September. And yet I haven't seen or heard of it working with our phones this is why I posted a thread.
Regardless of the latest release, it seems that a non-rooted MyTouch 4G cant do video chat with the google+ app., nor could it do it with the Talk app. I would like to know if anyone has had success with making video chat work with google apps on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G.
But, it looks like you guys didn't read my questions -- those are the sentences with the question marks at the end. I quoted them above, but I'll try to make them simpler to understand. (Some of you senior users need to just move on if you see something that annoys you, instead of attack dogging people because you don't like or understand the way a question was posed.)
Has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success with video chat for the Talk app or the Google+ app?
If no...
Is this because Google left out this capability with the Talk app?
Is this because T-Mobile has locked out these features?
And this is implied:
If yes...
How do we make video chat for the Talk app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?
How do we make video chat for the Google+ app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?

I guess I could ask one more question:
Does anybody have a non-rooted MyTouch 4G that can answer these questions based on experience?

[APP][4.0+][BETA] SMSCutter

SMSCutter is an application to delete SMS which match configured rules. Messages can be filtered by text, sender and data.
Application is a BETA version, to test it you can check the XDA G+ community.
plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100406373096097711894
Google Play testing link: play.google.com/apps/testing/it.ggiovanni88.smscutter
My main concern is the sms reading and deleting: I have read several posts advicing not to use the sms content resolver, but it's the only way to accomplish this task, and several applications in the store are already implementing it. On my Nexus 4 is working fine, need to know if on other firmwares it works good as well.

I know, but I cannot post any link yet as I'm a new user. I have edited the post including the links, it's not a spam so I guess it won't be a problem.
The community is the XDA testing one anyway, I have already sent a request via the form and it was accepted.
