Genius Button on N1!!

Been toying around with getting the genius button app working on the Nexus and I think I have it working. Got it to read and send text messages but am having issues doing web searches keep receiving "sorry no network connection" (although I believe that is because my network sucks in my computer room)
Here are the steps if anyone is interested.
Push both files in system.zip to your system folder, and both files in lib.zip to your lib folder. I used rootexplorer to just copy the files over.
I am on Modaco's Desire rom but I suspect the same thing may work on CM, not 100% sure.
Credit to Firerat i pulled the files from his Mytouch slide rom.

This apparently gives you another keyboard using dragon dictation but it fails at voice command due to network error. Any help or clues on how to fix this.

You think this would work on Froyo 2.2?

SmartShare

I accidentally deleted the smartshare app when i rooted my phone thinking i didn't, need it. If some one could offer me help on getting and reinstalling it that would be great.

I did the same thing. It doesnt seem to effect anything, although I didnt realize there was a smartshare option in the Wireless & networks menu. I havent tried to enable it in fear of a never ending force close, I'm going to see if there is a way I can re-install it.

Smartshare apk
This is from another post around here that has all of the original apks the phone came with, but I can't seem to find it off hand.

Thanks. To the OP just put the smartshare.apk back into system/app reboot and it will be back

just use twonky much better than smartshare even stream youtube vids

thank you

for me smartshare.apk does not work on CM7. it always FCs

You need to move it into /system/app with a file manager that has root permission like Root Explorer and then change permissions on the app. Should have all 3 Read sections checked and the Write section for Owner and that's it. Reboot phone and should be good. You could also get a update.zip and use an archive manager to move the app into the zip then flash.

[Q] How to copy "Wireless Tether" app from HTC Indredible to my new Thunderbolt??

[Q] How to copy "Wireless Tether" app from HTC Indredible to my new Thunderbolt??
As many of you may already know, the app from the market called "Wireless Tether" has been removed (or I sure as hell cannot find it!!) I have a HTC Incredible and just got the Thunderbolt. I want to try and get this app on my Thunderbolt but I cannot save the app to my sim from the app menu.
Is there any way to do this? I was thinking open it up on the computer as a hard drive and then copy it? If so, what will it be named and where would it be located? Then where should I copy it, or should I ask how do I get it installed on my Thunderbolt???
Thank you all for any help or suggestions ahead of time. I am new to this forum and appreciate any advise. Also, if I posted this in the wrong forum or if someone already asked this questions, well sorry haha.

The easiest way to get it is to just enable airplane mode and then turn on WiFi and connect to your network. It will then show up in the market and you can just download it. By the way, nice name!

Like this. http://bit.ly/juruRY

Thanks for the name compliment finger lol, I also tried your idea of airplane and wifi but I had no luck. I am wondering if the app is even on there anymore at all? It did not come up for me either way.

Thanks TONY, I am always skeptical of downloading files but I will trust you on this one lol. Now, how should I get this onto my phone and how do I get it to open up? I am assuming I should open that link FROM my phone? Will I need to save it and where to?

Or you can Google search "wireless tether for root users" and get the newest beta edition.

It works for me

Remember the episode of South Park "Make Love not Warcraft" where Randy couldn't figure out how to get "the Sword of a Thousand Truths" to Stan? -- This question made me think of that, lol.
You can do as they've described above or also:
From Incredible:
Code:
adb pull /path/to/apk.apk
To Thunderbolt:
Code:
adb push /path/to/apk.apk

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

This.
Also had some luck with the "Market Enabler" app that is available on the Android Market and, at least for now, isn't blocked by carriers.

Yea, Idk finger. I just tried it again and still could not find that app.

Ok now this is really gonna sound noobish haha, but what am i putting this code into? lol

You'll need to open up a command prompt in Windows and cd to the path where adb is installed on your computer. If it isn't, you're going to need to get yourself the Android SDK, and then the tools that contain adb.

You need to set your current working directory to wherever you have adb installed (I can't remember the exact directory name). If you're on Linux and don't have the directory where ADB is installed in your $PATH then you'll need to type ./adb but if you're on Windows you can just type adb. (Remember you used adb to root your phone... right?)

I remember it from when I rooted my Incredible but I have not attempted to root on my Thunderbolt yet. I used Unrevoked cause I was being a girl and was afraid to brick my phone. Since Unrevoked has not cracked the Thunderbolt yet, I will have to do it like everyone else. I guess I will look back on this forum after I root (which will be any day now) and get the program. I just want to make sure that I can still get it.
Let me ask you guys this. If I hook my computer up to my phone and run it as a "hard drive" what file can I pull to get the wireless tether program. Like where will it be located? Cause then I can just send it to my Thunderbolt after I obtain root. I actually have not even opened my Thunderbolt yet. I am charging it. I just was not sure when I activate it if I will be able to access all my files on my incredible. Sometimes i noticed phones will go right to a screen which makes you activate which I can not go around

Just download that link to our phone and open the apk file after it's done. That's all.

This looks like an older version of wireless tether that you posted. The current one, or at least the one I have is 2.0.7

Just download the apk from the Google code website.

android.process.media force close! FIX

I know some of you have been having problems with a force close message that looks like this: Android.process.media is not responding please force close or retry.
I have done search after search only to find one way that ultimately fixes this annoying every second force close message.
1. Make sure your phone is rooted.
2. Using a file explorer of your choice go into the directories as follows:
/system/app/
3. Delete this file from the menu, mediaprovider.apk
4. Force close messages will now stop. Horray!
If you have questions post them. I will do my best to answer.

i tried it on my G2 and it hasn't worked yet. Had to give ES FileExplorer root.
Have a great morning!

..........

media.process force close issue rooted htc desire
I fixed this problem without any further issues by clearing the download cache - I'm just as surprised as you.

staplesdroid said:
Yea like I said you must have a rooted phone!!!. Did it work after you gave es file root?
Another great program in root explorer. You can get it from ww w. 4shared .co m
Go there type in rootexplorer .apk and it will have multiple downloads. Just pick one and run it.
You can get all the paid apps for free like that. Just type in .apk after the app you want is typed in for example: rootexplorer .apk or irunner .apk or androidbanking .apk..... you get the picture?

Or you could get it from the market, and pay for it, and support the developers. But if you want to be a thief, that's your decision.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off. Sorry if you don't agree with that. But 3.99 for a file explorer. Come on.

+ 1, a one time payment of $4 for something useful is nothing.

why patronize piracy?
I live in Asia, where pirated software/apps are more prevalent than legit ones. That is because software like Microsoft Windows is economically out of reach for the man on the street.
But $3.99? Come on! We shouldn't expect devs to continue churning out useful code without getting paid for it. If the developers of Titanium Backup or Root Toolbox had decided early on that it wasn't worth it to develop apps for Android or WinMo, we'd all still be in the Dark Ages of the cellphone era. Making custom ROMs is not the same. For one, many of them were based on stock firmware--which were made by highly-paid software engineers at phone makers in the first place.
What the Android Market offers for free, I download for free. When it has a price and I need it, I pay for it. Simple as that.

1) the fix listed above worked perfectly for me. (HD2, gingerbread, CM7)
2) paying for an app is the right thing to do. free ones are preferred, of course. you know it, i know it, they know it. support open source, support the community. pay it forward.

Thanks for the tip mate. I got rid of FC's after removing mediaprovider. But after removing it cannot access any sort of media like photos, ringtones etc :-D. Any other work around?

Yep, this is actually a horrible fix. For me, it did nothing except stop me from accessing any of my media. So if you don't care about listening to music, viewing any photos, having ringtones, viewing video you have taken etc, this MIGHT work for you. I had to dig out the mediaprovider.apk from the .zip of my ROM and replace it.
I fixed mine by restoring my last Titanium Backup ("restore all apps with data"). Whatever was corrupted was restored back to working order. I understand that not everyone has Titanium Backup, but it has save my a$$ a couple of times now when an app or system file has started acting weird. Root your phone and get TB, it's so worth it.
EDIT: OK, so the problem came back after I replaced mediaprovider.apk, so apologies for that. I booted into recovery and did a factory/data reset, then restored my Titanium Backup, and all seems to be good now. Again, I understand this may not help everyone, but it worked for me, and it avoids deleting apk files without fully understanding what effect it will have.

Help
I have a droid 2 global. i tried deleting the file and it says i cant. is there anything else i can do? i cant access my pics, music, or market.

Did this too, was having FCs after installing a new ROM but just cleared the cache and rebooted. My music player worked again after that.

Nothing works!
I tried deleting it which made things worse! Non stop FCs! Put it back. Cleared data multiple times! Rebooted some times! No luck! What to do! Heeelllppppp!!!!!!!!!

I had the same problem with my Asus transformer. In addition the default Music player did not work anymore as it used to (played the wrong numbers).
The above solution did not work for me (I could get to the files mentioned without rooting).
Sofar I got the problem solved as followed.
1. I found an new version 4 of the Music player (com.google.android.misic.4.0.9.apk) and installed this version
2. This by itself did not solve anything, but now I could reinstall the factory original version and now everything is OK.
No forced closing anymore and the default player works as before
I hope it stays this way.

alfred

I've just updated to latest Oxygen on my Huawei U8800, and was having that same issue.
After reading this post, I've updated with TB the application "[Playlists] Media Storage 2.3.7 (10)" and it solved it.
It seems that my custom playlists of the music app were causing it...

(REQ) Sprint VVM for 2.3.x

I've noticed that all the Sprint VVM apps floating around are outdated and I'm assuming that's the reason they don't seem to work any more. Does anyone have a confirmed working version? The .48 version that you have to extract the titanium back up folder doesn't work. I've tried manually backing up the old fresh 2.1 version and got no where. I even used decks gapps with VVM included. Anyone got anything new that works? Thanks in advance!

Edit: yeah... I couldnt. It wouldnt verify my account. I f*ckin hate gv. I just want something for voicemails and something for texts. I dont want gv to handle them both and store them on their site and all the other bullsh*t.

New Sprint visual voicemail with text option
Here you go: Down load this attachment ; vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production to your sd card and use Root Explorer to install it. If for what ever reason you can't download the attachment, then google ( x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4) download it and use (Root Explorer) if you are using you phone. Go to SYSTEM/APP/ locate vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production, copy it and paste to phones sd card . From there all you have to do is install it in what ever Rom you are using i.e. CM7 or MIUI; Use Root Explorer it makes it easer. It also will get rid of the gost voicemail notification on Evo Shift.

I too hate GV since they changed the way it works. I decided to try Better YouMail from the market and couldn't be happier. $3 was well worth the lack of frustration. I like the interface it uses better than GV or Sprint VVM.

is this newer than the .48 version.
im running cm7 & have the .48 version installed & working, so is this an upgrade to .48

yes its the latest version, its works great on cm7 on my shift

I to am using YouMail and love it! Much better then VVM and by far better then Google Voice. There are so many options and best of all its free. Of course there is a subscription available too but I dont need my voice mails transcribed for me so the free version works just perfect.
