Curious if anyone else is experiencing the pain I am. I cannot use VVM at all on my Skyrocket EXCEPT if I'm running the "unnamed" ROM 1.1.2.
Which I cannot use because of a Google Contacts syncing issue. Let me break it down:
VVM issue: used pretty much all ROMS including stock. Unable to use att vvm, google voice, youmail, etc. However, using unnamed 1.1.2, VVM from att works, but google contacts sync incorrectly. I would have made these separate issues in dev, but I just started posting.
Good news, AT&T is replacing my phone (their tech support was actually competent), but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these issues.
You don't have to trust me on this, but please do I did plenty of research this week on workarounds and nothing work. I hate asking for help dammit!

So here's the situation. I've got a Sprint Hero. I rooted it and installed MoDaCo, and everything was fine. Then I got this spedr.com/1iw9z beta 2.1 ROM just to try out (This ROM doesn't have copy protect apps working).
The problem arose when I went back to my Nandroid backup of MoDaCo (and my backup of the Stock ROM for that matter.) When I did that I couldn't access any protected apps on either stock or MoDaCo.
I thought that maybe this was from the 2.1 ROM but when I wiped and signed in with another GMail account I could view protected apps.
So all that is to say. Has anybody else experienced this problem and if so have you found a way to fix it? I'm thinking about contacting Google, but if they did blacklist my account there may not be much of a point, besides making sure I never get my account unblocked.

I am not aware of Google blacklisting people, so it's likely a bug. Calling them up might not resolve any problems since they're not bound to helping you if you've broken the warranty on your phone by rooting it, but it can't hurt.
Must be a bug, as mer6 suggested...
I've been running 2.1 ROMs (xROM & CaNNoN202 Complete) on my G1 for a couple weeks and my GMail account has not been locked out.
you have to do a complete wipe and reinstall a rom with all protected apps working...
sometimes its just a screw up
worst comes to worst if u cant get ur apps back...
u can change build.prop files if u knwo how to do all that
or just reset it to stock and sign into the market and then root it again
Yeah, I was inclined to think it was a bug because I haven't been able to find many othere people with the same problem. The thing is I've reflashed MoDaCo 2.2 Fresh 1.1 and I even went back to the latest RUU and tryed to get protected apps before I rooted again and there was still nothing. It doesn't seem like you would be able to get a bug in your Gmail account that would do something like this but I'm not very experianced with all this.
Signing in with another account after a wipe will fix the problem but I've got a few paid apps on this account I'd like to keep.
Changing the build.prop sounds like it might work, can you point me to any places that give any info on that? I've looked around some but so far I haven't seen much.
I doubt if google even cares. After all, they never manufactured any hardware nor do they care on where you use your gmail.
You may use your gmail account while riding a pink pony over the rainbow, for all that they care.
Haha, good point ady.
I think you are right because I just booted up my G1, something I should have already done, with King's 2.1 aosp on it, signed into my account and I can see protected apps.
So now I think I am down to a bug... now to see if I can fix it
If anybody has info on the build.prop file editing that would be helpful, going to look for it some more right now.
Just a quick update for anyone who is interested.
I changed the build.prop file but that didn't work, but just today I thought I would try another 2.1 ROM just for kicks. Sure enough, I flashed damagecontrol and all of my protected apps are back. Strange issue but I don't mind sticking with 2.1 I may go back to a 1.5 ROM just to see if damage control fixed something, or if it is uniqe to 1.5, but for now: Problem solved
This has nothing to do with Google blacklisting Gmail accounts. What's happened is your Market DB has gone out of sync from swapping your account between phones with different apps installed. The DB glitches if your phone and/or account says an app is installed but the apk isn't in /data/app.
It's a known bug on Google Support forums. To avoid I make sure I only have my Google account signed in on one phone at once and do not swap back. Always perform a wipe when changing ROMs. Keeping backups of your APKs with AppManager and using Recovery to both "wipe dalvik-cache" and "fix apk uid mismatch" could be used to solve this, maybe not.
We've all been running rooted phones for ages, Google doesn't care about it.
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?
Has anyone ever managed to get AT&T Visual Voicemail to show in the stock dialer app? I'm aware of AT&T's crappy VVM app, but I was really hoping someone knew of a flag, adb command, patch, hack, whatever to get in to show in the dialer when on AT&T. I had this feature on iPhone and Windows Phone in the past and it seems strange that AT&T and Google can't seem to play nice on this. The last thread I found on this topic was several months ago and just directed the poster to use the separate app, I'm hoping to avoid that.

I'm looking for the same thing but couldn't find anything other than stupid AT&T app.
