After paying someone $20 to root my phone I decided to explore other Roms. I installed many for my G2X. I found one thing in common with many of them. I seem to me missing the stock Voice search that came with the phone. Eagle Blood 1.05 seems to keep this option but others delete it. Any ideas on why? If you need more info let me know.
thanks
On Weapon 3.0 it works fine. The first time you use voice search it promts you to download the most recent version and you are good to go.
Download Voice Search by Google in market.

I hope these don't come off too n00b-ish, I'm not new to Android nor to rooting phones. I had an Evo and was on Sprint when I realized that...hey, Sprint's service sucks, so I came back to Ma Bell since they finally got an Android device worth buying (no offense to others, but the Aria is way too small)
Anyway, my first question is do any of these ROMs up right now have sideloading capabilities yet?
Second, coming off of the Evo I had Sense 1.0 and it automatically linked my contact card to my Facebook through Facebook for Sense, but Sense 2.0 doesn't do that, is there a way to link my picture/contact card to Facebook?
Third, speaking of which, anyone else have problems with the Facebook App? It doesn't show my picture on my profile and half of the time doesn't load a lot of user pictures.
And last, HTC released Swype for the Evo, is there any plans of the I4G/DHD getting the keyboard too? I mainly use Better Keyboard but liked having Swype at times.
No one can answer these?
To my knowledge, every Rom here has sideloading enabled.
I only ran Sense for a few hours so I can't answer that. Sorry lol.
Facebook works fine for me.
Once you have sideloading enabled, search Google for the swype beta and install it. Bam.

You people and your damn AOSP. lol. Thanks for response, not sure what is wrong with my Facebook, it did come pre-installed, once I get rooted I may just need to reinstall it from the marketplace and it should work.
The facebook app that came preinstalled on my I4G wouldn't show my or some other pics either so I gotta say that it has to do with something that the stock rom had. I'm on CM7 right now but I remember that I was able to automatically see my pic anywhere that the stock sense apps had an entry for the owner's pic, like the messages app, contacts, etc.
EDIT: Mods, please move this to the main Charge forum, accidentally put this thread in the wrong place.
Hey all,
Of the people who use Google Voice, what have your experiences been? I have used every variant of the leaked GB ROMs available as of this point, 8:40PM MT, and GV won't work with any of them. Having GV installed, it will not load up my account when I select my main Google account on setup. Going back to any Froyo ROM it will work fine but GB is no-go. I have heard some people saying it won't work and other saying it works fine.
GV is my main method of SMS since I have my vzw SMS turned off and blocked so if I run a GB ROM, I get no SMS. I have installed GV both from Titanium and directly from the market with no luck. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? I know this is all still very beta and it could just be a flaw in the leak but I really would love to have some Netflix.
- Glitch
P.S. Yes, I have wiped cache and dalvik and still nothing.
In the same boat
I am in the same boat - 100% GV SMS realiant (no VZW SMS at all) and have had the same issues. I've tried installing from TB, the Market... everything I could think of and haven't had any luck. Because of this, and the fact that one of the other apps I use daily (VZ FiOS TV Remote Control App) does'nt work, I think I am going to be headed back to Froyo until the official release comes out.
Running a HTC Evo 4G, I installed this Rom no issues everything went great.

I would have just asked the question in there but I have to start a new thread out here because I'm new to this forum.
I can't seem to get the voice recognition to work anymore for searches or navigation. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but I haven't found it yet.
Thoughts or things to try?
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.
I searched for days before posting this, and cannot find what I need. I tried to make it myself, but have failed thus far.
I need any older version of Hangouts that supports SMS (v2 - v17 I believe), but I need it modified so I can use it without being forced to update to the new version that does not support SMS. Versions 16 and 17 kick you out almost immediately. Version 2.1 lets me use it for about 10 seconds (and it works perfect) before kicking me out.
I would think this would be a common request for users whose primary number is Google Voice. I don't know why it is so hard to find a solution (but easy to find others complaining about it like I am here). A v17 modified apk seems like the easiest workaround to the problem to me, but I can't figure out how to modify the version number as I read somewhere. Can someone please just link me to an apk that will work? Even better if there is a dark version (yes, I know xHangouts does dark-mode but I am not rooted and want to keep Google Pay and NetFlix HD).
It would be so awesome if someone just made a Hangouts v17 apk that was black, supported sms, and worked without forced-update to play store version. Many users would thank you!
Alternatively, is there a different SMS app, that can handle BOTH the SIM# and the GV#? Why doesn't that seem to exist? I would like to recieve SMS for both of my numbers. I only ever want to send SMS using my GoogleVoice number (including when I ask Google Assistant to send a message... always use my GV#). I know I am not alone in wanting this simple functionality, but years have gone by with no solution that I can find (though some people change the version number in the apk to stop the forced-update... but nobody ever posts the modified apk... please post for me, I cannot get the apk editor to work so I can update the version number myself to 29.0 or higher).
