Google Talk on a custom rom

---

So i installed the doomed froyo rom on my thrill 4g and am loving it (had the "almost cyanogen" GB rom before this but couldn't live with the bugs). My only gripe is i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get google talk installed on it. I've tried everything from downloading it on the fone and clicking it to install (says install failed) to forcing it into the system/apps folder via terminal on my mac and cmd prompt on my pc to double check myself.

Nothing has worked thus far. I've tried a "custom" gtalk apk, the newest version (1.3), and the previous version all to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not a fan of any of the 3rd party apps that handle gtalk, so that's kind of out of the question. I really want the official gtalk app cause i fell in love with it while using the cyanogen mod GB rom

Use the one included in the rom it is based off of... im guessing 10e stock

the doomed froyo rom doesn't come with gtalk, its supposed to be a "light" rom ...it looks like it was just updated to 2.0 with a new kernel, I'll try that out and see if theres a gtalk app included.

You want gtalk I can see about making that work out for you. What you could try is take the official gtalk app and put that into the doomed froyo slim zip file. Just open it up, and put the gtalk app in the system/app and flash the rom file. That should do the trick.

That'd be great...i actually tried that method already, but it seems it doesn't work...its as if the ROM is ignoring it cause it doesn't show up in my installed apps list, but is def. in the apps folder.

keep up the good work tho, love ur ROM

Have you tried opening the .apk or .zip of the gtalk app in cwm or in Rom manager? It worked for me installing it on cyanogenmod thrill.
