So this will not work on 2.2? I tried and with no love.
Man, I hope someone is working on porting this to 2.2/2.2.1…eagerly waiting. I tried with my limited knowledge and failed. Seems like someone just needs to put missing files somewhere where they need to be???
Hey, what is ADB console and where I can find it ?
@Saqib : ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. You need to download the Android SDK kit. You can head over to this tutorial from web http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Please let us know in case you need any further help.
I installed as instructed and it worked great, except a friend of mine using a Nexus S couldn’t see me. He only saw a black screen. I saw me on my end, though, so my camera is working. He’s just not getting my video on his end.
If you have not already solved your problem, if your version is not 2.3.4(2.3.3) you will not get video to work since it will require a new version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk

this file contains that apk also the Talk.apk has been tweeked for front facing camera switch button. if you dont have a ffc then you do not need to reinstall the Talk.apk the one you have will work fine just push the framework apk like you did for Talk2.apk
Thanks for the reply! I have an HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) running Cyanogenmod 7 (2.3.4). I got it working a while ago. It definitely worked using the ffc, but I couldn’t switch it to the rear facing camera. How would I go about integrating the file you’ve posted?
Also running CM7 (RC-1) on HTC Glacier, I pushed files to my phone, and it works for me to see video, but chatting with gmail the person only see’s my google profile picture… I see video, and if somone tries to initiate a video chat with me it tells them my device doesn’t support video yet, only works if i initiate the call. A little nervous to replace google services framework… and it seems like I should be fine already with 2.3.4 based cm7
Update, I used adb to push the googleServicesFramework.apk and ffc works now. But camera switch button gives a force close every time.
tried to push the newer libtalk and talk.apk files over the top of the old ones, when i try the [adb rm /system/app/talk2.apk] i don’t get any confimation, just a list of adb commands same as if i had just typed [adb *enter]
i might play with root explorer a bit too as i am just learning command line stuff. thanks for the tips to
5 month passed…
