Anyone know how to install Google talk app?

Ive tried a few versions but always get application not installed.
Stock/root w/twrp2 working market and other Google apps.

Running into the same problem, are there any other apps that use Gtalk and possibly install?

Gtalk always needs to be moved into the system/app folder using a file program such as Root Explorer, then the permissions need to be set, then you reboot and voila.
In this case, there might be an even easier way: have you checked the market to see if Talk 1.3 installer is availablle for your device? If so, download that and let it do the work
Hope this helps ya.
Note: both methods require root.

oh damn, ok. are you also running rooted stock? maybe Gtalk isn't compatible with the stock framework and you'd have to run a custom ROM, like CM7?

Yep, rooted stock. Got Google Currents and Voice installed, but Talk is being stubborn.

Hmm. I used the Kindle fire Utility to install google apps. It installed almost everything under the sun except google talk. I couldn't find an apk so I grabbed the one from my droid3. I literally dumped it in the download folder, went to it with ES file explorer and hit install and it worked perfectly. I didnt have to move a thing. That was using titanium backup to make the apk on my phone. I take it you didnt install your other google apps with KFU?

Did mine manually, and I can't really remember why, though I did use KFU to install TWRP.

Used the Titanium Backup method, and it worked like a charm. Great success!

Actually, a little weirdness here, it doesn't show up on the app drawer at all. Have to launch using Titanium... surely there's aan easy fix.

On your phone, make a backup of Talk using Titanium Backup. Long press the backup and upload to Dropbox. DL the backup with your KF, and "restore" it using Titanium Backup on your KF.

I made a backup with Tb on my phone. Then I plugged it in to my computer and searched the drive for .apk files. Found the Google talk apk and copied it to my computer then the fire. Browsed to it on the fire with es file explorer and tapped it. Prompted me to install and that was it.

Could you post the apk? I keep getting parsing error.
And are you using cm7 or stock rooted?

[Q] Play Store not working

So I just flashed the Darkside ICS ROM to my phone and now I am unable to go in to the Play Store, I was able to do it earlier. I think it might have happened when Ti Backup asked me if I wanted to restore my device's old ID #. Anyway to fix this?

Maybe delete and dl the store apk again

Uninstall TI completely and re-install it, when it asks to restore your old ID then tell it yes, it should reboot and fix it.

I just used Root Explore to delete the Play Store apk and reinstalled it with the latest version, problem fixed. Thanks Guys

[Q] Google Play W/O Root

I'm was wandering if anyone knows of a way to get Google Play on my Kindle Fire without root?
I don't want to root because I sent in for the warrenty once, so it would be a big help. I'm not new to the tech game so don't to me like I don't know what I'm doing plz.

You cannot run Google Play without root permissions because it will only run as a system app with the proper permissions which you need root to modify. As far as warranty goes, you can restore a rooted kindle fire to stock and remove any proof of the fact that it has ever been rooted by following one of the guides to return to stock.
I used to have my KF completely bricked after running ICS and different ROMs on it and so forth and recently sent it back to Amazon for ghosting. After having restored it to stock and doing a factory reset, it couldn't be differentiated from one that was brand new out of the box.

Thanks but I still think there's got to be a way to mod Google play because I have 1 mobile and it works flawlessly, so I guess ill try to mod it

No, there is not a way to do it without root permission. You have to have root access to move to system/apk and change permissions.

I appreciate your drive and willingness to try but the reason it won't work is because even if you were to find a way to get the app to run without being run from system/app you will still not be able to use it to install apps. The way it was designed to integrate with android is to contact google's servers and directly install the app to your device using its own permissions derived from it being a system app. If it doesn't have those permissions it won't know what to do and will crash. It cannot just download the app to a folder like 1mobile does. I understand that you want to use google play without rooting, I tried to do it too before I eventually gave in and rooted, but trust me you will be much happier with the device when you have root permissions. If you decide to stay with the stock amazon version of android I would recommend trying modaco's rooted stock ROM which comes with google play already installed, it will not only save you the trouble of having to attempt to install the app yourself (which is actually more of a hassle than you would think) but it also has better stability than stock does and you don't have to worry about amazon upgrading you overnight without your permission and you losing root.

[Rooted] Unable to install Google Play Store

Hi,
I recently rooted my HTC One X (China version) and I've tried almost everything to try and get Google Play Store to work.
I've installed droidvpn, marketenabler and used them together only to find that my google play store doesn't even open.
I've tried to push the apk to the system/apps folder using root explorer but I keep getting a parsing error after trying to install it.
However, I noticed that whenever I install the apk, there isn't a .odex file.
On a side note, I would prefer to keep my phone stock in terms of ROMS but am willing to try out a ROM if it means I get access to the play store.
Thank you

google play problems

I tried flashing a rom and ended up resetting my phone, yet i retained all my messages. So I didn't lose all my numbers or anything. I can make and recieve phonecalls and text just fine. It says i have 4g and i dont have trouble accessing the network for internet (with or without wifi) . I have all my important apps and contacts saved onto titan backup but i cant access google play store to download it. "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
Google play movies and music wont open, yet i can open samsung apps. And when I try my google app it gives me a network error
Any advice on what I can do?

Try wiping days for the play store, play store services and Google framework. Then reboot.

you rebooted after? its google services framework
so did the rom you were attempting to flash actually install?

Did you happen to flash a Verizon ported rom? I.e. synergy, axis, hyperdrive ?
Or was this a custom ROM like cyanogenmod or aokp ?

also, go to settings > apps > all and scroll down to see if, google download manager is disabled. If it is, select and enable it, then try play store again

it was paranoid android, that didnt work so i tried to restore my backup. But it said MD5 mismatch or something and i ended up with a reset phone.

Nope. Still can't access anything google play related. Will a hard reset fix this?

yes it was.

and i'm assuming since the flash didnt work that you're on stock now? hmmm

Sounds like a Gapps problem. If you're on something other than stock, go to that ROMs thread download and reflash Gapps for your ROM.
