Is there a fix for google voice on the 2.1 roms?

I've got a workaround going through the browser but something for the app would be nice.

Yes I have searched the threads.

What's the problem? I installed GV fine on my phone, and am using it for voicemail.

that's pretty interesting, I didn't realize mine was broke untill you said something.... interesting... hmm
now are you sure it's all 2.1 roms? darch's 2.1 aosp I could have sworn google voice was working on it.
EDIT: check outgoing phone calls via google voice

Are you on fresh or Darch?

was darch, now fresh, will go back to darch once he updates to .29 kernel

My GV works perfect on Gumbo 2.1

If I need to dial out to somewhere it matters I gotta go through the web browser. Just like I had to on my blackberry.

it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.

How would I pull that out of the rom?

pull and replace the following
\system\app\phone.apk
\system\app\phone.odex
I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate

It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.

I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?
Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!

I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.

In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!
Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.

Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough

Same here.

I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.
Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

request: voice recorder .apk

For some reason the voice recorder app was corrupt, so I and looking for the stock 2.2 apk to use. Thanks

Is this it?

I hope this is the one?!

This is the same one that I had on the phone, but even after re installing it it gives me problems. The app icon is the generic one and when I click it, a different looking program comes up. Is there another program that I need to run? The htc one didn't download an my voice search is working fine.
I just want an an app that I can record with, for done reason switching from inc does mash up rom back to a nandroid with full wipes completely messed with my phone. I had to reinstall m radio because the internet wasn't working, also the stock email kept force closing no matter what I did, so un installing it and putting on a fresh copy seemed to work. Just weird all of this happened

Any info on this?

i don't have the stock one but the htc one above.
i am positive VoiceSearch.apk is NOT it. that is probably googles voice search app.

[Gingerbread] Google Talk with Video Chat for Captivate

First of all, I can't take credit for any of this.
I just tried random parts until 2-Way Video Chat started working.
I got all of the info and files from:
[APP][ROOT] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling, Now wifi optional!
This is tested working with JVH/JVB.
Edited 5/18 -- Simplified install instructions.
1. There are 3 files in this zip, gtalk.video.captivate.zip, which is not CWM flashable.
-Talk.apk is from Android 2.3.4 and is hacked to allow chats over cell data.
-GoogleServicesFramework.apk is from gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip
-libtalk_jni.so
2. Use Root Explorer to move Talk.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk to '/system/app/'
-Rename the old files (ex: Talk.apk.bak)
-Paste in the new ones
-Set permissions of both to rw-r--r--
-NOTE: Replacing the GoogleServicesFramework.apk will force you to sign back in to Google Services
-Some builds don't require this GoogleServicesFramework, but in my testing both JVB & JVH won't work without it
3. Then move libtalk_jni.so to '/system/lib/'
-Rename old file if applicable
-Paste in the new one
-Set permissions to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
5. Open Talk, click on your username, and check the box for 'Allow video and voice chats'
That's It.
Hopefully a flashable zip coming soon.
Bugs:
Video call only works in landscape. (portrait mode sends a blank screen from phone to pc)
Can only initiate calls from phone.

Hey just double checked it again with Continuum 5.4.1 (JVH Based) and it worked there as well. Zip definitely contains all 3 files maybe try to download it again?

I'll have to try this out

This works on my CM7 captivate. It's cool to at least see video chat with other gtalk users, even though it is a pain that they see what's in front of me and not me.

That was only for the Vibrant. You can retrofit the camera module that comes with the Euro Galaxy S onto it and flash a ROM that supports it and it will work. I remember seeing one of the MobileTechVideos where they did it and he showed you why it wouldn't work on Captivates. Part of the plastic body was in the way or something.

Thanks
Worked great for me thanks!!

would this work on rooted stock 2.2. I followed the steps from OP and once i restarted the phone I cant see Gtalk in my apps list now.
what am I doig wrong.

HELL YEA IT DOES, just tested on my Apex 8.2 (JVQ) and it works awesome.
Also i've only tested from phone to comp, no one in my lab has a ffc on their phone but I will be testing it tonight.
One bug is that sometimes the first time i try to call my buddies computer it sends them an error but when I try again it works out!
Nonetheless this is freaking awesome and lospulpo you have my thanks

This is fantastic, running stock MV. Works great as a streaming camcorder so my parents can watch my kids play.
This app bleeds my battery good, but well worth it...guess that's why I have 2 batteries ;-)

Hi .. i was trying this on my captivate apex 8.2 .. i am able to see the other person on phone .. but when i use my phone he is not able to see me.. are there any settings to use the back camera.. i think the app is taking the front camera as default .. since we don't have one.. it must be showing a blank screen..

Make sure you are in landscape. If you hold your phone in portrait orientation it'll show blank to the other user.

[Fix]- VVM on all sense 3.5 Roms

Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****

I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.

I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!

Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.

It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?

I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.

That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM

Worked perfectly, thanks!!!

Voice Dialer APK for ICS

I just couldn't get the stock vlingo app working with my bluetooth when the screen is locked. Anyway, I've been searching and finally found the google voicedialer.apk that has worked so great for me on my old i9000 that works with the i727's ICS.
I got rid of the vlingo voice command and pushed this apk into /system/app. Cleared cache, rebooted and now I can make calls from my bluetooth with the screen locked.
I also installed google voice search from play store. Not sure if that's required but most likely it is.
It's attached if anyone wants it.

Thank you
I was looking for it, and you just shared, a really nice one.
regards,
edsphinx

This is what i was looking for nice and simple.
Vlingo is a battery hog!
Thanks...
Wing

It's great isn't it? I use it everyday with my bluetooth headset. I got this from one of the many ICS system/app dumps I downloaded and this was the only one that worked for me.

So many thanks!

This might be just what I am looking for!
I am a noob when it comes to Android. Could you please post detailed instructions?
Many thanks!
-GoJ

GoJ,
There's a few different ways but you first need to be rooted. Use Titanium Backup to remove vlingo (since this app may conflict with voicedialer). Backup vlingo in case you want to go back to it. Then you could use an app like Root Explorer or something similar to copy and paste the voicedialer.apk into /system/app. Clear dalvik cache (you can use TiBu for this as well or go into CWM) and reboot.
Hope that helps.

I downloaded this as well as several other versions of it and all i can get out of it is fore close. It activates, i speak, and it recognizes the contact, says its dialing and then bam fc and sometimes my phone locks up. Any suggestions? I tried clearing davlick and cache.
Thanks

Not sure if this version works, try it and let us know. I had a different version I was using for GB but it didn't work for ICS. I may have deleted it already but I'll see if I still have it.
