8. Copy to system/lib (make sure R/W is selected)
9. Press and hold on libtalk_jni.so and press Permissions and select:
- User: Read, Write
- Group: Read
- Others: Read
10. Reboot your device.
11. Open Talk and change your status to allow Video and Voice chat
Viola!

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.

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.

Look for a "mount r/w" option near at the top. This will make the location writable; allowing you to make the desired changes. What file explorer are you using?
this is an interesting topic because I have the Samsung epic touch galaxy s ii for sprint, and I've been able to video chat thru 3g/4g/wifi the entire time, no modifications required. I wonder why at&t would block that for you guys?

Is this still a current version? I am planning to put it in to ICScrewD 2.1 and running a search this is the best option I have found. Am I right?
I am not sure.
I have gotten auto updates from the market since this install though, so i believe you can make it current and then push the apk into the ROM

I'd love to ask this in the Dev section so that it would get noticed, but one must follow rules: Adrenalyn's kernels have often included a patch to allow VZW SMSs over 160 characters to split rather than convert to MMS. I've noticed lately we're back to the converting method. Can this be made into a separate patch or can our great devs try to include this again into the latest kernels so that the SMSs will split again?
-edit- So I try to follow the rules and end up posting this in general rather than Q & A. I need my coffee
I second this. I'm actually on the search right now for the patch/fix that was posted.

I could be wrong, but I am fairly positive that the long SMS has nothing to do with the kernel, but with Messaging.apk. Which would make this a ROM issue. There is even a tutorial on here somewhere that tells you how to manually pull the .xml file from Messaging.apk, change the specific value to "7", which will make it so that your SMS is not converted to MMS until you reach 900 characters, then push it back. Again, I COULD be wrong, but I'm almost positive this has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel.
Its not the kernel.

i have seen this and read briefly on it before but not familiar with how to use this. any chance you can give me a walkthrough of how to use this in order to push the sms file to my phone?
please do reseach on ADB before using if youve never used it before.. u can ruin your phone beyond the point of saving it with odin
If you don't know adb then make it easy on yourself and get rootexplorer then you can copy and paste. Or you can use linux terminal commands in terminal emulator (free in the market) to "cp" (copy) the apk file to the system/app dir

tried this both ways and it still converts my messages to multimedia
Did you delete (or rename) the old mms.apk (i always rename to something like mms.bak) before moving the new mms.apk to the system/app directory?
Ok (after rooting) here is how I installed GApps (Market, Google Framework, etc) on the Nook Tablet, as well as the steps I took to stabilize everything...
1. Downloaded GApps package from goo-inside.me and extracted files.
2. Deleted the setupwizard.apk file from the set of extracted files (in the system\app folder).
3. Copied "system" folder from extracted files to tablet via USB.
4. Used Root Explorer to remount /system and copy files into their designated locations, and also set permissions (644) on all copied apk's in /system/app folder.
5. Rebooted.
6. Ran the market, signed in with my Google account, and downloaded/installed Superuser. Ran the binary update within the app.
7. Install any additional apps from Android Market.
8. Profit.
Known issues...
1. If setupwizard.apk ends up on your tablet you will not be happy.
2. A factory reset is recommended after installing GApps (though probably not necessary).
3. Not all apps show in the Market. Perhaps a build.prop tweak will fix this???
Enjoy!!!
this is a second good news after rooting!
anlong:
Use either wireless adb found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless
or use debugging toggle found here: http://code.google.com/p/secure-set.../detail?name=ADBWidget-0.2-alpha.apk&can=2&q=
^ instructions for that:
Download ADBWidget.apk
Copy ADBWidget.apk to /system/app (you can use root explorer or something.)
Add ADBWidget to your home screen
Anlog,
I was able to get SuperUser installed following the directions on the other discussion! Thanks for much for all your hard work.
Working on getting Google Apps installed right now.
Update: Well I have SuperUser on my Nook, but whenever I try to copy anything to \system\app it tells me I don't have permissions. Looks like I can't get root to actually run.
run chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
which version of Gapps do I need Cyanogen 6 MDPI?
Make sure root is fully working before you try to install GApps. Use the latest ones for CM7 (I think its from August). You need to remount /system as RW before copying the files and setting permissions. Root Explorer lets you do all of that.
All of this could be done with an ADB script as well, but I won't have time to write one today. Anyone?

Do not install chainfire! I just tried it and it boot-looped, had to force factory restore.
Finally figured out what was wrong initially, root does not seem to work unless you manually enter commands. Attempted market setup, for some reason it is still force closing every time. Any chance someone who got it working could upload exact files they used.

I ran into issues copying the whole folder over. I am currently running the google market though.
do everything one step at a time, install the googleframework first (from the directions on the kindle page), then do the market. I ran into the first time through the market would not actually connect so I rebooted the NT.
*note*
each time you reboot your NT you need to go in and what appears is toggle the usb debugging off then on, same with the "auto mount", and I did the unknown sources as well (not sure if this is necessary). It appears a reboot resets the flags and our menu isn't actually writing the settings so you have to toggle it.
Push comes to shove, start over with fresh reboot. It took me a few times (as it probably did others as well).
ok, so can someone who is patient tell me where I need to copy the system folder? help the feeble minded, please.....

that part is clearly stated but using root explorer and getting it to mount doesnt seem to work properly on my device. I have root and superuser. titanium backup works fine. for some reason root explorer on es explorer says it fails every time
-1 Go download latest Gapps and extract the contents to your HD. There will be two folders, one of which is "system."
-2 In the system folder there will be more folders, one of which is "app." Inside of app are all the system APKs.
-3 Detele SetupWizard.apk
-4 Now copy the app folder to the root of your NT SD card via USB.
-5 Next step you need to use ADB or Root Explorer...I used Root Explorer.
-6 Open root explorer, then go to sdcard and you should see the APP folder you copied.
-7 Once there, hit menu -> multi select > then put a check mark to what you want copied then hit the copy button.
-6 now hit back untill you're back in the root
-8 Then navigate to system, and at the top you should see button "Mount RW" hit that button.
-9 Then go into the App folder, and hit paste.
-10 All the selected APKs are now in the system/app folder.
-11 Now you need to give each of the copied apps permission by long-clicking on it till a menu comes up, hit permissions, then check all the check boxes next to "Owner"
-12 After you did that to all the apps hit the "mount RO" button on top of the screen
-13 Reboot the NT.
That should do it...hopefully I havent missed anything.
Hi guys,
Is it possible to have ICS browser on Froyo? I've heard alot of good things about ICS browser, hence I was wondering.
Thanks
Hold on, I'm going to see if I can get it to work on my phone even though I'm 2.3.7 (Gingerbread)....
Load it up here (I don't have the APK) and I'll give it a shot on Froyo tonight and let you now.
Doesn't work (at least on 2.3.7 Firmware), it won't even show up on the home screen. Although I didn't expect it to work, I'm kind of disappointed...
I've uploaded the .apk, and "phrozenflame" if you want to try it yourself this is what you do...
1. Download the browser.apk and put it in somewhere
2. Open the app Root Explorer (if you don't have it download it for 3.99$ from the AM)
3. Follow this directory "/System/App" then copy the "browser.apk" in this folder and back it up to somewhere on your SD card (Directory: "/sdcard").
4. Copy the newly downloaded "browser.apk" and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
5. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
6. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read (See attached image for visual)
7. Click Okay
8. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.
By the way, if you want ICS there is an ICS ROM in development. So far it's coming together nicely (but until they fix video recording I'm not trying it). Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961

Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed.

I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!
