Google Talk Video Chat on 3G or 4G Mod

this mod was posted by Shep all credit to him for helping out!
for those that don't like ADB here's a easier way i had to buy SQlight edit from the market for 3$ but it was worth it because it worked!
Without adb:
1. Download SQLight editor from the market
2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.
3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it
4. Now click on "main"
5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold
6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true
I hope this helps:

You have to make sure to install the latest Google apps 05/03/2011 and on the screen name list if your friend has a camera on his or her computer you'll find a camera icon next to their name if you click it on it then it will video call that person

I've tested it.

will this work with out 2.3.3 roms?

Me and my girl have this..were both available and only have a video icon by our own name not each other.any ideas? Can't get to video no matter what I've tryed!

Works with CM7 Nightly 2.3.4 nightly 60 and up just install the latest Google apps I posted in the apps and theme forum. Listen carefully it does not work as good on 2.3.3 so use a 2.3.4 Rom.

Thanks for providing the information. It works.

No options when selecting gtalk vc wifi only
Once I scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only and highlight and hold Nothing happens
I have no options from there.... If I hit settings again no options what am I doing wrong.. Ive triedd this in Root Explorer, Sqlite, and also ES explorer....

scroll to the far right instead and change the value of true to false.

This is awsome. i got a att atrix runnin on cherryblur 1.4d and i did this and the gtalk 100% worked on 3g AWESOME! i tested out the gtalk before and it would only on wifi but this worked so thank u!

App available for this
I wrote a free, open source app to do this.
It is on the market: http://market.android.com/developer?pub=Innodroid
The source code is here: http://code.innodroid.com/gtalkenabler
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. The app requires root, of course...

Guys, you don't need Root explorer (it's not free). SQLite has a feature for search database, not very fast but it works.
Anyway the trick works for a while, but somehow the gtalk_vc_wifi_only is changed back to true! Maybe after a reboot, not sure.
Any idea?

Two versions of the same application

i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.

Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

Are you trying to have simultaneous porn pix slideshows or films running concurrently?LOL
JK sounds like youre doing a comparison of versions....but of what?
You aint special.

i have an app that i am using for watching tv from my satellite platform provider.
they released an updated version of they software with new functionality but they took away others. i would like to use new things but also still have an access to old functions.
but excluding the duscussion if is it reasonable or not...
can it be done? and how?

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

Thats an answer to a totally different question.

OP i would try renaming the apk .
jje

the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

Thank you.
So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcazc58aqz8j7y/com.adb.android.app.iti-1.apk
It is a free app. The only thing is that it can be downloaded from Polish Google Play only, hope I haven't broke any xda rulez now
Any help is appreciated...

Here you go...just install this alongside the original

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?
Thank you for all your help

[APP] [4.1+] [UNOFFICIAL] APKMirror web app

So I made an APKMirror app. I couldn't find any app for this website so I thought I will make it myself.
Its just a simple webapp with bottom bar and other additional cool features.
•••Info about app update tracking•••
I saw a lot of requests for app update tracking feature. Although it is possible, its very difficult to do. Apkmirror doesn't have any public API so I would have to do it with HTML parsing and in this case it's pretty difficult.If anyone wants to help me just send me a PM.
Thanks.

Yes, downloads are a problem. The app downloads with the filename APKs. There is nothing to distinguish it. You can rename the file *.apk. Its icon appears and it will install. It would be nice for the file to download with its full name though.

Thank you. It works great on OPO CM13.

Perfect app. A long awaiting is over.
Suggestions :
1. Can you add exit button so we can exit easily without having to go back each page again.
2. Make the header/side menu accessible throughout the page within app. The side menu disappears when the page is scrolled down.

I think that there still some download issues with certain files. some download with the correct name. Some download as "download file" without the apk extension. Rename the file and add the extension and it still works. Just not very convenient.

What's the minimum android version??
It is showing parsing error on jelly bean 4.1.2

Root WhatsApp dark mode

I am using a solid explorer. The only one that works correctly on Android 10.
Open File Manager and head over to the root partition.
Then go to Data > Data and navigate to the com.whatsapp folder.
Go to the shared_prefs folder and search for the com.whatsapp_preferences.xml file.
Now add the below lines to that xml file, anywhere inside the <map> and </map> tags. This one line of code is, in fact, responsible for enabling Dark Mode on WhatsApp on rooted Android devices.
<boolean name="dark_mode" value= "true" />
Next, tap on the floppy icon to save the file. Now just force close WhatsApp and re-open it.
Finally, head over to Settings>Chat
You should now see the Theme option, just beneath Account. Tap on it and select Dark.

I have Samsung Quattro with Jelly Bean. Every time reopen the app (after removing from recents), I have to go to theme and change it to dark. It may be related to OS version.
