Google Talk Video Chat - Xperia Arc General

Anyone tried this on xperia aRc??
note:
You must have a rooted Android phone.
1. Download the flashable .ZIP file and place it to the root of your sdcard
2. Using ROM Manager (or a similar ROM flashing utility or from recovery options) flash the .ZIP
3. Reboot.
4. Enjoy the new version of Google Talk with Video chat.

Is there really much point, given that there's no front facing cam on the Arc?

yes, I can use the mirror
anyways m more concerned about the video & call quality with this Gtalk..

you wouldnt be able to flash update.zip files on the arc as it has no recovery portion. there's another mod out there that you'd be able to use root explorer or something similar. unfortunately i dont have the link on me right now, but a quick search would help you find it.

you can unzip the content and place them yourself
talk.apk goes in "/system/app/"
libtalk.jni.so goes in "system/lib/"
gonna try it now

Yup i tried it to, also didn't work i even didn't see the talk icon in root explorer. we have to wait for 2.3.3/4 update. i really wanted to test calling.
Edit:
I also noticed that the original talk was a lot smaller than the new version.

we have the original 2.3.4 fw, but the Google Talk with Video Chat is not working.....
but they said it will work with this FW!...

Sony Ericsson's product blog states that it'll work on phones WITH FRONT FACING CAMERA, so I guess that means arc is not included. Same as the new Google+ mobile hangout. It just doesn't show that option on the arc.

try VTok - Google VideoChat from market, its working..

The Facebook site is better than any application !
Not the mobile one (m.facebook.com), but this one: http://touch.facebook.com/?w2m#home.php
I LOVE the new startup screen with the six big icons ! very nice !!
I'm probably being dim, but where does it tell me if I have a new message?

I totally agree with you. I don't understand how it is possible that an app couldnt be better than a website...
Because we have a lot of really skillful developers using Android and Facebook...
my hero is from denmark ans when i click on facebook for android i get the 1.01 app????
The advantage of an app is the ability to have notifications, a web site would not be able to do this.

But I can't see if I have a new message?
Well of course the application needs to have a notifications feature in order to provide notifications
If it doesn't then it may not be any better than the web site... which is the debate here I guess
This is still not out on Market yet... will it be released for download on Market?
Eventually.

Post your setting guys its wonderful.
How do you install it. It soouunds so good, i downloaded the .zip file (the universal one) and i assume you cant just flash it?
This works great. Just wish it had a greyscale chart as per the screenies in the original thread. I am currently using 955, 937, 945. That will be subject to change untill I can see it in all different lighting positions though.
For installation you need the 2 files. The ZIP and the APK. Flash the ZIP through recovery, rebbot and then install the APK.

You can now Root your Sony Ericsson X10 and Sony Ericsson X10 mini with one click. All you have to do is to download this free application from our forums Android app section and the one-click installer will do all the work for you!

I rooted my X10a using that app yesterday. Install the apk from that link and run it. It installed one other app (superUser Permission). All I did is click on Root button. I didn't even have to restart the phone.
Then to check if it really rooted I went to Market and downloaded and installed "Titanium Backup". The installation had problem that said somethink like it needs busybox #@(#@(#. It asked if I want to download it. I choose yes and the backup now works.
Soon I will be removing some of the SE crap that came with the phone.

You can always try QuickPic app from the market. It can browse photos (no video support for now) by the folders in sdcard/DCIM folder.
Hope it helps.

Someone tried this?
Also, I found the Gallery3d.apk on my phone in /system/App/ folder! There's also a Gallery3D.odex file. Can someone install this Gallery thats already there??
I have replaced gallery3d.apk (another name) from other ROM and it works well
I deleted the LG-Gallery and installed the Gallery from a custom ROM for GT540. It worked, but I couldnt zoom properly.
Then I installed the Gallery3D.apk from the thread I mentioned above. With this gallery I can zoom, but if I click the camera button in the top right corner inside the gallery, it crashes.
I tried to find out if one can build a working Gallery3D.apk from the 2 files that are in /system/app (Gallery3D.apk, that is impossible to install, and Gallery3D.odex, both files are attached)?!
provide us with system/framework/ folder please so we can deodex the apk
The files are taken from original Europe Open 2.1 firmware, so everyone should have them!
Pashinator, could you upload the gallery3D.apk from your custom ROM? I could try that, maybe that one works properly for me...

Is this one the doedexed one from the original GT540-files? Or where did you get it from? Because the icon is different from the other Gallery3D.
Well i changed icon so if you wanted to install alongside original

Can you download files from LAN to selected folder, modify it, and send it again? or you can, using eg QuickPic sort images to different folders?
Can you use download files, and send files to different folders? eg apps to apps, music to music.?
Or you can using ID3 Tag editor download and modify music data/covers?

Give it a rest. We get it. The changes to external SD access have inconvenienced you. The changes are no surprise, so you shouldn't have upgraded if it was so critical to you to continue having full read/write access with every app.
Either use one of the fixes suggested in this thread or in the other thread you're complaining repeatedly in, or downgrade to 4.3.

its not about me, what about other people that see update, install it and find out that they cant use 50% of their apps? did you thought about that? and some people cant root, or dont know how.
I just use 4.3 but others update their XZ and would just find out that their phones doesn't work like before and just call XZ stupid phone and sell it, they gonna buy different phone and find out it again and they gonna see how google mess with idea of freedom of Android.
Its like some car producer would say that you cant use your back seats, and lock back doors, how you would feel about that?

This is a development site. Most people here are perfectly capable of rooting to workaround issues like this or even of checking critical changes in Android updates before blindly updating. I posted about this change in KitKat a few times in the large thread about the update that you've participated in, for a start.
Repeatedly complaining after you've been told how to fix your issue is doing nothing but pointlessly flooding threads in any case. Please stop.

Dude I can do anything I like and there is no error .. So if you really dont know why its not working for you simply just downgrade to 4.3 rather just thinking of others , if they like the phone they will keep it and if they dont then obviously everyone has their own choice to sell it or buy it. So please stop complaining and take some time to fix it if its not working for you then just simply downgrade ... AND CHILL

There's no reason for you to repeatedly complain about this in different threads after you've been informed of how to fix it.
This is becoming off topic and it's disrespectful to flood a useful thread like this, so this is my last word on the subject. Have a good day.

Could we just convert an app like solid explorer to a system app to regain full control? Is that why file commander still works, or is it something else? I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet and try this out.
