ReplyDeleteyou need to root ur phone first..
If you really want to use GTalk video, i will suggest to try http://www.dialandroid.com/2011/09/how-to-use-gtalk-video-on-android-233.html
or
you can install KH3 firmware and then root it to use above procedure. Some of our reader commented that it is not working properly with Android 2.3.5
if you get error after rooting you must re-rooting again...
ReplyDeleteafter rooting don't fix your yellow triangle, let google talk installed first and then fix your yellow triangle
ReplyDeleteRooted, installed 2.3.5 (XXKI4). Same issue, force close on start. Guessing this is specific to the 2.3.5 firmwares.
ReplyDeleteHad to hit install three times on the AT&T GS2 before it would install without error.
ReplyDeleteAfter it installed, it required me to log into my Google account again.
I think it might not be waiting long enough to finish some commands.
Other than that, it worked. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteYou need to mount RW file system.. You will have that option in any root explorer.. but i think this method doesnt require that... you only need a rooted phone..
