So I downloaded KIK and I noticed that the notifications use Push, but they weren't working on my phone. I was running cog 2.3b2 // i reformatted and tried again and same thing. I posted up a question on their forum :
http://getsatisfaction.com/kik/topi...tm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification
It seems like others on the leaked Froyo are having the same problem. Is it possible that Push doesn't fully work correctly on our leaked build of Froyo?
I'm having the same problem as everyone else in that post. I'm on cog 2.2 beta 7. The wife is on 2.1 and has no problems.
All of my push problems seemed to be related to not having a unique Android_ID. You can fix it by installing a rooted 2.1 based ROM pulling the Android ID and writing it down then installing the Froyo ROM of choice and changing the ID with a Market app. There are details how to do this but I can't seem to locate them at the moment.
Here is the thread I think you were talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810967
Yep that's it.
Since doing the fix I'm getting word feud notifications again.
Very cool, this fixed my Kik push notifications. Thanks!
No Problem.

I know that there is no official release of 2.2 (Froyo) for Captivate at this time, however I did apply the leaked version and am very happy with how it functions. However there is one problem with apps missing from the market, stupid little things like Fandango for instance (Love this app). In doing some research on this I have read that this is as simple as updating the build.prop file, however Im not really sure what needs to be updated in that file. Has anyone developed a fix for the missing apps and maybe I just have not found it? Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanx!!
So I just updated to 2.2 using the leaked Froyo non root method with my At&t Samsung captivate. Everything seems to work fine but my downloading speed is terribly slow in the marketplace, my youtubing and websurfing speed is still fast though. Anyone know what's up with this?
A lot of market related issues can be fixed by going in to:
Menu - Settings - Manage Applications - All
then scroll down to Market, select it, then clear cache/data.
i tried that but there wasn't any data/cache to clear it was just 0.0kb....I tried rebooting and I went back to 2.1 and the dling speed works fine. I then rooted and flashed di11i's 6.0 and everything worked but once again dling from android marketplace was super slow while web browsing, youtubing, etc. was fast....
I have noticed that with some of the roms the market does not adjust correctly the first few times you access it. I went to Cognition 3.04 and at first it took forever to load, now it works fine after a week or so.
a week huh? Hmm maybe I'll just give it time....I am liking the di11i's 6.0 with blue theme very much =P

Do you have a generic Android ID? Some of the roms change your ID to the same everyone else has. Market throttles because it looks like 1000 downloads are all going to the same phone. Try Android ID Changer, if you have your original, and change it back. Or just change a few characters so your not on the same ID.
how would i find my Android ID? And how would I change it?

It will tell you your current ID and let you change.
Yeas I wish I had known about this android ID before flashing, I'm currently using the Odin 1.0 flashed 2.1.1's android ID, so just any characters and it'll be fine?
Apparently this feature is acting up on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on their G2x and if so how did you manage to get it working?

What sort of issues are you having, and what ROM are you using? I had some issues with bluetooth and tts with CM7. I've switched over to EB 2.3.3, and all is working well.
Make sure you have everything you need installed.
Go to settings/voice input & output/text-to-speech settings/
If "Install voice data" isn't grayed out, click on that...it will take you to the market to download the voice engine.
I haven't noticed any problems with my tts, running my current ROM, but I also don't use Pico. I use Svox. It cost around $2-3 for the voice download, but it's much nicer than Pico.
Good Luck.
I'm running stock GB 2.3.3
I was hoping it would read text as they came in similar to the new WP7 Mango update but apparently the framework doesn't support that yet.
It takes me to the market, i download the application but then it uninstalls itself and shows that i have never downloaded the application before. I might install Faux123 rom and see if i can get it to work.

What app are you trying to d/l? I've never really tested out text message readers. I know Handcent will read the text, but IDK if you can set it to read as they come in.
I did test out Vlingo way back, and I must say...it was pretty good. I just don't like that it requires data usage (I'm on a limited data plan). But, for reading texts, Vlingo was pretty awesome. It even understood things like LOL (rather than say L-O-L, it would read it as "laughing out loud"). It even translated WTF, which of course made me laugh like a 12yr old kid.
I'm not downloading any. I was hoping the stock messaging application would do this as i kind of like the layout but sucks as far as security is concerned but that is an android thing.
I'll give the Vlingo a try and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.
Hi Folks
Feeling too happy to report that even GB users can get a glimpse of what Hangout 2.0 performs on android 4.4 KITKAT!!
First of all let me announce the device I've tested it on. Mine is a Dell Streak running GB 2.3.3 Traveller's DSC ROM.
How I did it:
1. I have my phone rooted
2. Renamed existing hangout apk so that if in case i need a backup. Mine was in /data/app folder
3. Moved and renamed attached hangouts 2 apk as "com.google.android.talk-2.apk" (without quotes) - don't know if this a useless step?
4. changed permission of the renamed apk to rw-r--r--
5. Cleared dalvik cache
6. Opened the app and enabled SMS on the prompt and allowed it to collect all existing SMS messages
7. Voila! everythings works so far.
Features:
1. SMS integration
2. More fluid (in my opinion)
3. Online/offline notifier
4. Still exploring the differences
5. Will check if this can be integrated into the ROM itself or not by getting rid of MMS.apk
Need your feedbacks and press thanks if it works for you too. :victory:
Link: here u go! My dropbox shared URL
Came to know that video chat in hangout wasn't working with only the steps above. to fix
1. Download the libvideochat_jni.so
2. Move to system/lib
3. Change permission to rw-r--r--
4. Try video calling. Should work now!
5. Let me know
*NEW ADDITION*
HOLO themed black version (via- makers of Ultima ROM) of the same 2.0.012 version here
IMP: Please do NOT update hangout or else you will lose SMS functionality.
Successful, tha nks
This worked just fine on my Samsung Proclaim with 2.3.4. I had just been trying to sideload the new 2.0 yesterday, and it wouldn't work and I was afraid I might be getting screwed here in the near future. I use google voice extensively, and with the recent announcement that google would be dropping xmpp support for voice, I can tell that it a sign of much greater hangouts/talk integration and I'm a little concerned that my numerous pieces of older hardware are going to be left out in the dust. So, I had tried to sideload the new one yesterday, and it wouldn't work, but following your prescribed steps, it's working just fine now.

This step shouldn't be necessary if embedding it in /system. Hangouts.apk works just as well. Like I mentioned in my ROM thread, I'll have to try this out. If I like the change, then I'll update Traveller DSC.
Have you attempted this with any of the other KitKat apps?
Works for me by just installing it and not pushing it as a system app. Android 2.3.7

How about video calling? Does it work without pushing the .lib file?

What about the gallery app? Does it give you the parsing error?
Yes, gallery also gives parsing error.

If you don't have to add that file, you might want to check to see if your ROM already includes it.
On a side note, the KitKat version of Hangouts is apparently available on the Play Store, but only for ICS and up.

The newest one released yesterday will install on Gingerbread phones. However, SMS has been removed for folks below 4.0. The previous version pulled from the Nexus 5 did put Hangouts SMS on Gingerbread.
One thing the portal article doesn't mention is that Google does version checking on its files. If the API version isn't sufficient what is downloaded is an older version that would work at the given API version. Case in point is Gmail. The current version is 4.6, as my ICS tablet will attest. However on a Gingerbread device, a freshly delivered version from the Play Store will be version 2.3.6.
In the case of Hangouts, the version being downloaded to Gingerbread devices is version 1.1 build 12 or something similar. Only ICS and up will get Hangouts 2.0. So to summarize, it's not that certain features are being disabled (as this thread can attest to) it's that Google is sending an older version of the app to the device.

It's kind of silly really, since the 2.0 version works fine on my Gingerbread ROM. Sending texts, receiving texts, pictures, video etc. Even the holo style settings menus work. Nothing appears badly broken, but from time to time it might force close.
The API support is within the APK, because otherwise it wouldn't allow you to install it. So if google strip that away then they're doing it simply to get people to update to a newer version of Android.
The file here is 2.0.012 (884159-30). The version Play Store will install is 1.2.018 (849105-30).
In one respect it isn't all that silly. Gingerbread is a few years old now and Google wants to focus on Android 4.x. I actually can understand that. What I would like to see, but never will, is Dell going back and making a KitKat ROM for the Streak, especially knowing KitKat will work on the Streak.
I can understand that they'd like people to upgrade, but blocking a feature for no good reason is silly. The 2.0 version clearly works. Yes theres the force close that happens 2% of the time, but that's going to be a bug in the code and not an API issue, because if it were API related it wouldn't even run or it'd force close every single time.
Of course I'm due for an upgrade anyway, and I probably will soon, but it still would of been nice to see google officially support the 2.0 version on Gingerbread.
Hey it works bt always show the number.... I mean showing the number insted showing the name which I save in my phone or sim card

Yes, that is a known issue even for Nexus 5 owners. An application bug probably to be fixed in next few versions. For now few people have found changing their contacts to international format helpful (like for Indian nos changing it from 022xxxxxxxx to +9122xxxxxxxx). It didn't work for many but there is no harm in trying for now. Do make sure to force sync contacts and then switch off your phone and switch back on.
Let us know if it helps!

Hey man, can you see if the latest Hangouts update with messaging will work on Gingerbread? I'm certain it won't, but maybe you can give it a shot again.
I checked all later versions but those don't work with SMS support. May be @theos0o can help us by enabling SMS support for all devices as he did for FB messenger.

Thanks for at least checking. I'm sure many of us appreciate it.
Hello all. Been reading and learning for awhile now and just registered on the forum. Firstly I want to say thanks to the Mods, Devs, testers, and anyone who has posted information on these forums. Thanks to you all I can keep my old phone going with cool and relevant software! I'm new to flashing so decided to start with Gingerbread based ROM's on my Infuse so that I can see the progression and learn. I flashed Emancipation A1 first and really liked it. However, I could never get FB notifications to work despite all of the app settings being correct. I decided to give AEON v1.4SL a try so I flashed it. I tried FB first thing and had the same issue. I tried a factory reset and then put FB.apk, SNSaccount.apk, SNSprovider.apk, and updateandfeed.apk, from the deleted apps package of AEON, in /system/app. I let FB update to v3.8 and still had no luck. I then Heimdall'ed back to stock UCLB3 and tried FB v3.8 and it worked perfectly. All of my other notifictions (gmail, outlook, yahoo, gtalk) work fine. Any help with this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I would really like to get the Facebook notification issue worked out. Am I the only one who has this problem on Emancipation A1 and Aeon 1.4SL? Do other custom 2.3.6 UCLB3 ROM's work properly with FB notifications? Please help, I have searched this issue and can't find anything that resolves it.
Hi all. I realize not many people are using Gingerbread based ROM's at this point in the game. In case anyone is, I have some more details for this issue. I flashed Legend 4.1 ICS Edition and had the same Facebook issue. I then started FB messaging myself from my Girlfriends phone while watching running services on my phone. As soon as the message came through on my tablet sitting next to me, I would see one or two additional services pop in for FB on my infuse. Still no notification would ever display. So its like the FB app sees the message but the launcher won't fire a notification. I tried different launchers and had the same result. The closest I ever got was with AEON 1.4 SL using the Xperia Home launcher. Xperia Home would show a message count on the FB shortcut but nothing in the notification bar. Anyone have any ideas?

check out your notifications status in FB maybe it's unchecked
FB settings were all correct. I hashed over and over every setting. I've moved to CM9 to try it out. FB notifications function properly with CM9.
