Call Recorder working on Froyo 2.2?

Just wanted to know if call recording was possible with the new 2.2 update?
I know there were limitations with previous firmware recording had to be done via the loudspeaker.
This is a must feature witch should have come with the phone automatically. It's a shame that a 5 year old mobile can do this and the latest hi tech phones can't.
Is there any one that is working on a app? Or work around to get this working?

No, it still doesn't work (as we want). Even on 2.2 :/

Any one else?

Heard that vRecorder for Froyo allows both sides recording. never tested it myself though, so if you have a chance to test, please let us know the results.

If it helps, I'm using AirVoice on rooted Hero (froyo). Seems to work.

Tried airVoice on Desire (froyo 2.2 with update) - Does not work
Call recording works perfectly on cheap china mobiles but not on Desire is somthing incredible that forces me to carry my trusty N95

Does any one know if we will ever see a call recorder app working properly with 2.2?

Can I use the new Gtalk video chat in Sense with 2.2?

Hi,
I was curious about the Gtalk video chat. I am using CM 7.X & my wife is using a Fresh 2.2 rom. Can we get the video chat working?
How can I do that?
Thanks,
Rich

I'm afraid not bud. She will need to be on a 2.3.4 (cm7 or other) based rom with the latest gapps that includes the gtalk 2 apk. You can also both just download tango for free from the market it works just fine!

Tango? I will have to check that out. Does it work OK over sprints really slow 3g that I experience?

Its not gonna be spectacular. I use Tango to call my boyfriend and the camera will cut out and the video lags. If you can connect to wifi it will work much better.

I assume this is the rule of thumb for all video chat? If its not on wifi its not going to be a great experience?

You can receive video calls using unlocked Skype 2.0.47 version from xda but as far as I know you can't send video from your own phone. I have black image from my camera (G2 with 02/07/11 CM nightlie) when video calling with other person using Windows version of Skype. Really good receiving video quality over wi-fi, though.

yah same here i tried the unlocked version from xda and i can see the other person from a pc and from an iphone but video isnt working on my side (black screen)

It won't work since Skype wants its video stream from a front camera. Which we ain't got. If it can be done on an N1 and it doesn't work on ours, maybe its calling in a weird way.

New build for Desire HD works well on G2/Desire Z with CM nightlies.
Here's the link to working version:

Nor working with every rom. I suppose it depends of the base used.

i downloaded the official skype from the market, and i made a successful 2 way video call from lebanon to canada... it was awesome, no lag, no problem

Try qik
Works but uses rear cam

Worked fine when I was on stock OTA gingerbread, I skyped my girlfriend for about an hour but it was pretty silly with no front facing camera , haven't tested it with CM 7.1 yet.

I didnt get problems in the past using CM 7.1 with that

Check out fring

I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?

Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...

I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.

skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.

Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

Your Skype is working. Do you have icons for Video on it? I've had it before but after upgrade they disappeared.

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.

Talk with video?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to flash a version of Talk with video support for the WFS? Or can our little phone not support it?

Even if Talk with video support runs on the WFS it will be of no use........you would need a front camera for video calling and there is not an application that allows you to use the back camera for video chatting(Certainly would want it )
Long story short..........It's no use

Apparently, Yahoo Messenger with Yahoo Video chat plugin works (Uses Mic+Camera from the back) (About 28mb in total Alot of storage memory....) , Skype also works with mic and camera from the back
(Less storage)...
