Back to google talk, instead of hangout (Android)

As we now, the brand new google's chating machine is named hangout.
This app is very sucks.. there is no online/offline indicator and the partychap can not be used..

After I upgraded my Galaxy nexus to Jelly Bean 4.3, which provides hangout as default app system, I surfed trough google search to find a method of reverting hangout to old google talk. And finaly, I have found it at this site.

The requirements of the method are:

having an android phone, yaiyalah,....
the phone is rooted
You have already had CWM recovery

the stages:
1. download the flash able file of talk.apk at that site
2. download "root explorer" at playstore
3. using root explorer, go to "system" > "app" > chose r/w (at the top side)  find "hangout.apk" > delete
3. copy the  flash able file of talk.apk to phone memory
4. reboot the phone trough CWM recovery
5. flash the flash able file of talk.apk

Tada... you have an old google talk...
