So are there any video chat apps that let us use our unrooted DINC2 and talk on the other end to a pc?? I've looked and found tango and qik but neither offer a pc app
Ideas?

Skype does that. Just tried the hacked version on an unrooted dinc2 with no problems.

so the only apk I have come up with that is supposed to work with DINC2 is listed below, but it didnt work. It begins to install and I get an error saying install failed
Droid-Life Download Mirror for Hacked Skype 2.0
Any other links to hacked Skype for an UNROOTED DINC2?
Thanks in advance!
Thats strange...it worked for me. You are running Gingerbread, right?
Yeah I did the OTA last week to gingerbread. So is that the same link you used then? If not, could you share your link or apk?

Sorry, cant upload it or post a link...forum rules.
I did a google search and got it - its called SkypeThunderbolt.apk
Did the Google Talk update not come with your gingerbread update? The new Google Talk allows video chat.

To OP - why don't you want to root? Just wondering.. I've rooted and using cm7 right now and skype works pretty nicely on it. I installed google tall update but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

There is a way to install the video chat capable version of talk on 2.3.3, but you need root
Do a search in the android market place for talk 1.3 and it should be the second item found.
Its called:
[root] Talk 1.3 Installer by BRAINWASH STUDIO
I tried it last night and it works well

To be honest I'm new to the android world and I am fine with what I have. I like the feel of Sense, and from what I hear there isnt any ROM that has Sense and works very well.
Plus once you root, isnt it pretty hard to go back to stock?

anybody know where i can find that black google search box for the maddoggins lockscreen mod? Or which apk and files to pull to use it? I tried just pulling the google serach apk but that wasnt it. Any help is appreciated. I love that one but running eh17 and so cant flash it quite yet unless he decided to do it.
I think its google quick search box.apk

Tried it and got the regular search box.. some reason on eh17 it didn't even let me install the apk even after I deleted from titan backup and rebooted
I think this is the one you want. Its almost a smoky black transparent one. I extracted it from White Shadow theme.. http://db.tt/GtgIki6. Make sure you are on Deodexed version of EH17. I don't think you will need to push it with a file manager.

Update: with its normal apk, it didn't work yesterday.
I changed the original apk with the one you posted here, and then it worked.
We don't have connections, radio or wifi, on that port, so I couldn't test if it really worked, but atleast we know that it's opening without force closes.
I think it has something to do with the new APIs, but I really hope I'm wrong

Let me explain myself better:
Yesterday night I installed the 4.1 ported rom but the voice search was force closing.
I came back to ics, and tried to install the app. As you also saw by yourselves, it's not working on ics.
I then decided to try again on jelly bean, but before flashing I changed the original voice search apk with this one. Then I flashed the rom and whilst the engine keep force closing as soon as you try the speech test, the application itself is able to launch without force closing.
Long story short: on ics it's not working for me either; on jelly bean it does, but the ported rom has no connectivity so I couldn't test it.
I downloaded the .apk file and tried to install it. Its says Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package.
The apk's from the Galaxy Nexus are odexed in stock form. There is a velvet.apk and a velvet.odex file along with it! The velvet.apk only will not do the trick; it has to be a de-odexed version of it to begin with!
Is the file from the OP a de-odexed version?
I would love this working my Galaxy SIII!

Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

If the above doesn't work, you could try pushing all the files manually, then fixing the permissions. That's how I installed it, twice. Open up the .zip to see where all the files are to be placed. If there are any duplicates, replace them with the new, but save the old ones first to a labeled folder, of course. That's in case you want to go back.
I tried your link. I already had that Google now zip but I re downloaded and tried again. Flashed but still nothing happened... This is really annoying Idk why it's not working. I'm just on stock rooted rom from mobile Odin. I mean flashing other things work. I flashed a theme mod and it worked fine. Why is this not working!
I'm not sure how to push manually but ill try opening like you said and try to figure it out.

The meta INF folder isn't supposed to be pushed, that is a list of instuctions that places all the other files in their proper places when the zip is flashed in recovery. The velvet.apk is the most important part. I'm not sure what you mean by "couldn't install" it. If you tried using the Android installer, that would probably make sense as it doesn't always work with modded apk's. You would have to copy/past it into /system/app manually, first either copying the existing one to another location on your sd card or just leaving it where it is and renaming it "velvet.apk.bak". Then all of the files that you pushed have to have their permissions set correctly. Just follow what you already see for the various .apk's, files, and folders. Then you should reboot. Now before doing any of this (any changes at all) make a nandroid so if something goes really wrong you can restore back to where you were.
EDIT: I see you solved your problem. Good show!
In the new update the name of the google search apk change so most of the zips floating around for Google now havent updated to the new name so yes just deleting it will work untill the updater-script changes in the zips
So I have it installed but it says a new version is available in the play store. Obviously can't get it from the store but is there an updated version that works on our phone?

No, we on ICS just have to ignore that for now. Someone (a new dev) in the original thread claimed he could mod the updated version for us, but many are skeptical.
EDIT: What you can do is get the present GN to display your sports teams. Before the devs stopped working on this, an Aussie developer came real close to getting it working. What you can do is temporarily replace the velvet.apk and use the updated lib file. This will allow you to set teams. The problem with this version for me is that is was mute. I would not talk back no matter what plus it would force close every time I tapped "show more cards". So the thing to do is restore the original valve.apk after you've go your teams set (set every single team you are interested in before you restore the original velvet.apk) and that's it. They will always show up after that through a Titanium restore when you flash another ROM and you won't have to repeat this process again. The other way guys were doing this was to flash a Jelly Bean ROM, set their teams in GN, then flash back to ICS. This is a shortcut to that process. Unfortunately, the movie listings and emergency notifications available in the JB version of Google Now won't stick once you go back. I'll link you to the post. Incidentally, I pushed these manually too then fixed permissions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31991861&postcount=5824
The Google now I'm using I can already add sports teams. Just wanted the theaters n stuff with the new version.

I wonder if I missed a version that allows that. I've followed the GN thread for quite some time and only the JB versions could allow adding sports teams. In our version the settings are there, but they don't work AFAIK. I'm keeping my eye on the new JB port by DocHoliday. As soon as he adds in WifiCalling Im going to flash it and enjoy all of GN. Or, flash the real thing if the rumor that T-Mob is releasing JB or Wednesday is true, lol.
