Google Talk is Google's messaging service. It has been around for years. A few months ago it started offering video chat, and now that is available on Android. This app will remove the requirement to be on wifi to use video chat.

Thanks, but i didn't come up with this on my own. This comes from several places out there, and i couldn't find a single original source to give credit to... So anyway, this is the process i follow every time i flash a new kernel.

Yes, that works if your version of Google Talk already has video enabled...

However, the steps in the OP will enable video and enable video over 3g/4g.
