It was recently announced that Voice+ was going to be integrated into Cyanogenmod 10.1, which would allow you to send Google Voice texts with the default system SMS app. (Link to the article.)
I'm really curious to try this because the Google Voice app has felt really buggy to me lately. I've tried searching for ROMs that have this feature, but haven't been able to find it.
Has anyone here been able to use Voice+ or any other similar service for Google Voice? If so, how can I install it? How has your experience been?
I think I've figured it out. Voice+ wasn't appearing until I installed the official Google Voice app. Please disregard.

I was very impressed with Google voice search in the stock G-Tab. Now that I have updated to Harmony Rom, it force closes. Can anybody help please?
Is there an app out there that would allow custom notifications for SMS\phone\gmail for users of google voice? There are several that work outside of google voice, but not so much with it.
Only app I found that mostly worked was Whoisit lite. Lite version works fine, except any new email cause it to stop responding & force close. Tried the pro version & got my refund. It didn't crash on email notification, but initially it would only play the default sound, not the custom, then it wouldn't allow anything to play when an email arrived. (The dev on this app has disappeared, so contacting him to fix it isn't going to work.)
I like having all my stuff in one easy to access location, that syncs everything with my voice account, so not using google voice isn't really a consideration.
Ideas or suggested apps?
Ive searched for days on this particular issue and its driving me insane. I AM NOT missing the option in "voice search" settings to turn on "personalize speech recognition" as many have posted about.
I AM able to turn on "personalize speech recognition" via the settings in voice search, but on my google dashboard the speech section is missing and I see no evidence that google speech recognition accuracy is improving in any way. Ive tried clearing the app data and enabling search history without success.
I have only 1 gmail account linked to this phone and everything pertaining to that account (calendars, app store, etc.,) is updating correctly.
Im running ICS stock rom on a rooted HTC vivid with ATT service. I have voice search 3.0.1. The app store only has version 2.1.4. Id gladly uninstall 3.0.1 and install 2.1.4 from the app store if it would fix this problem but im worried uninstalling voice search could cause additional problems. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
anyone?
im sorry, but i would really like to solve this problem. Is there anywhere to get google or android support?
You are in the wrong section mate. Try Q&A. Best of luck.
Hi I have a unique issue I am trying to fix, I was wondering if someone with the know how can help me out. Here is my problem, when I update to the new 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 the google search also updates to the newer version. I dont have text messaging on my plan and used google voice to send the messages. When I would say OK Google text "blank" subject "blank" I could set it to use google voice as the default, so it would send using google voice. Now when I update to 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 google search updates as well, now when I say "ok google" text "blank" subject " blank" it only tries to send the text through my mobile number, and i get a reply text form tmobile telling me texting is blocked, because I blocked it, because I am cheap. This same thing happened when I was on 4.4 and I updated "google search" through play store, my solution before was just uninstalling the updates, but on 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 google search is defaulted to the newer version that doesnt work with google voice. I tried deleteing patch/system/app/Googlehome.apk.p from the 4.4.1 update file and then sideloading the update, but that didnt work. Just wondering if anyone can help me out .Thanks in advance for your time.

Im not sure I correctly conveyed my problem to you, my apologizes
anyways i did fix my problem, I also took out velvet.apk.p from priv-app of the update zip, that stopped google search from upgrading, all works great now, Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my plea for help.
I installed the nightly for cm11 from today hoping that I would have the dialer search feature that allows you to look up business phone numbers. The default dialer that comes with cm11 didn't seem to have this feature. When I did a google search I found out that you have to install a seperate dialer app with this capability. After installing the zip, the text box in the dialer said I could search for contacts or locations, but every attempt to search for a business didn't work. It only gave me contact results. Has anyone else had this issue?
