Google Talk is an instant messaging, audio and video chat service from Google, which is being designed for users to communicate in real time with other users who also use Google Talk. To complement Google Talk on desktop computer, Google has recently expanded Google Talk to Android phones with video and voice chat. With the new added service to Android phone, the users can now make a video or voice chat with their friends, family and colleagues who also use Google Talk on Android devices or on desktop PC.



Key features of the Google Talk for Android includes:
Able to make calls over 3G or 4G data network (if your carrier supports it) or over Wi-Fi.
Simply touch the video or voice chat button to connect with the friends or family members who are in the Google Talk friends list.
Text-chats will be overlaid on the phone screen while you are on video with others.
The video will automatically pauses and audio will keep going when you need to check something else from the Home screen or apps.



Google Talk with video and voice chat has already started to delivered to Google Nexus S devices as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update. Other Android devices will have to wait until the phone manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG and etc to start offering upgrade to Android 2.3.4 for their respective phones in order to get Google Talk with video and voice call feature.

If you can’t wait for the Google Talk with video chat support to come to your phone, which may take weeks or months to arrive, a hacker named britso has managed to extract Google Talk 1.3 app with video plus voice call support from Google Nexus S Android 2.3.4 update, hack the SigninActivity.smali to comment out a line so that the app works on other devices. The app is then re-compiled and pushed as the APK file for installing into other Android mobile phones running Android 2.3 or above.

Eh? Confusion....

Thank you for your attempt to provide useful information, however this is really confusing.

Here are some helpful hints for future posts:

1. There is no download link in this thread or reference to the original post. You should try to fix it. I think this is the link you are referring to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793

2. We are on xda-developers as such why do you need to include the line registration is required. Don't just copy and paste information you found somewhere else, we are getting no where.

3. Include something useful or insightful such as "Hey here's another method and the link is below!" Something like that.


(Thanks BluechipJ!)

4. Find out if this is the correct forum/category to post in. Ask yourself the following questions: Am I developing something for the ARC? Am I asking a question? Is this theme or an app I am discussing? Is this general information?

5. Don't forget to use the search function and think before you post.

Hopefully this helps.

While copying the .so file to /system/lib I face two problems :

1) i don't get mount r/w instead i get mount r/o.

2) if i tap mount r/o and paste the file it says not enough space, even if i don't tap mount r/o and then paste it, it says the same thing.

I have like 916KB free and 276MB used.
Is the folder dynamically expanding?
Or i have used a lot of space?

No app showing

So I installed with the root explorer method it all went fine. Gmail and market still working. But I don't have a "talk" app to use now.

This is method works for my Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 (ROOTED) mobile with Android 2.3.6. Some features I miss here are not able to choose front facing Camera, Video Chat status not visible for Others (but we can know who are having voice/video capability).

Anyhow works fine for me, Many thank to you!
