[Q] Gtalk video chat after root on D3?

---

Is it possible to install a custom version of Gtalk now that we have root on the D3?
Update: So, this has just become possible, but it's not a custom version, it's pretty legit since it was pulled from the leaked OTA update that was just released.

Stop reading my mind ! I was about to open a thread for the exact same question ! I'd try it in a heartbeat if we had a SBF to fallback on.... but..meh.

UPDATE/HOW TO INSTALL : See post #12 of this thread. Files are included. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=12

Gtalk w/ video pulled from the OTA leak...

So, according to dincodee's post on the thread below, we should be able to pull the gtalk version from the leaked OTA update and install it over the existing gtalk installed on our phones along w/ tossing the file 'libtalk_jni.so' into the system/lib folder.

I haven't tried this, I'm in the process of downloading the update on my phone since I'm at work right now.

Update: I just tried this and it worked just fine without any issues. I haven't actually tried a video call yet since I'm at work. I will try and report back later.

so i tried pulling the apk and the lib file. everything installed fine but when i try to video chat it instantly FCs =[

Did you have any issues copying the libtalk_jni.so file into the system/lib folder? That folder requires read/write priveleges.

no problem at all. did it straight thru root explorer

Not sure what to tell you, I haven't been able to get a force close while video chatting. Does it matter who you video chat with or all contacts?

nope its with everyone. once i hit the video button it the app resets.

did you change the permissions at all?

wooooooo. it worked! extracted the files and put them in dropbox. used ES File Explorer to copy the files to the right spot. Opened the Talk2.apk so it installed and boo. now i have all the camera options. no one to video talk with tho


nosaturn on gtalk

I didn't change any file permissions. I'd say you may want to double check your file paths again.
