I DON'T DO IT. I DON'T TRY IT. I ONLY SHARE IT.
HIT THANKS IF YOU LIKE IT.

Alright, It's been a while since I've inverted Talk so since I hadn't seen it done for 4.2 yet I figured I'd jump on it.. My Twitter followers tested it all day and the only issue is some devices get an FC on video chat.. N7 I know of but that's the only report.

Like all mods I'm not responsible for you device so flash at your own risk.

Install Method:

Download the zip of choice
Move it to a known folder somewhere
Boot into recovery
Flash the zip you chose
Reboot and love it!

2. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10789872/4.2Xparent.Talk.Final.zip



I redirected all Manifest theme styles to res/styles and also the smali theme styles are redirected back to in app res/styles instead of android.. This allows themers to have more control over what's going on.. The chat screen background is in colors but the tab behind each message is pointing to android:color/transparent ...

So does this having anything special about it or is just ported from 4.2 cause Google hasn't exactly done any development of Gtalk in quite sometime.

Furthermore we have had this issue before. When you are cross posting someone else's work you need to give them credit where it is due and provide and original thread if possible. Nowhere on this does it say who's work it is. I find that slightly disrespectful.

As stated above, proper credit should be given... I found the quote below over at rootzwiki. After the quote of the OP there I have also submitted the link.

I for one am getting tired of the I DON'T DO IT I ONLY SHARE IT posts with NO link to original creator. You didn't do anything but download someone else's work and put it on Dropbox. Post links and name original creator!! Stop hitting the thanks button people because clearly that is all these posts are for. :banghead: :mad: :screwy:

I have only one to say thanks. I was going to put a post regarding this issue but got my answer. I am blog content writer on technology.

Thanks
