i really want vvm and a stable rom as my phone is for work. can i just add and install the vvm apk. and install it and all be good? thanks in advance. ive tried fusion and youmail and not crazy about either of them.

Don't know about your question, but have you tried Google Voice?

yeah, but dont i have to have an invite? not sure exactly how that works.

Thats the same thing I thought, but I just went to the market a downloaded it!
Give it a shot!

How about trying it and finding out....let us know how it goes...

and its working properly? you get your vm's?

Ha, ha, it was but I hated everything about it!
I just need standard voicemail, but some people love the hell out of it! Give it a try you may like it!
Let me know if ya need help!

R u running Damage 2.1v2? If ur running his latest Sprint build vvm should work. Mine works like a charm... u should be able to take the apk from 1.1 since the app hasn't been updated in ages lol. Just push it to system/apps using Fresh Pre Kitchen, reboot, wallah!

thanks, would you happen to have the link for the apk?

I do not have a link, however if you download one of the roms that has VVM you can extract and push the file Sprint_Core.apk to /system/app. I accidentally removed it from DC2.0r2 and had to push it and it worked. but that rom was meant to have VVM.
Edit: Just uploaded file. (I think, lol first attempt.) http://www.4shared.com/dir/35253414/d223e4c4/sharing.html

Did it work for you? And what rom are you using?

Just installed the vvm apk from damage to the fresh 2.02b rom and visually its working like a charm. Have to which my settings over from gv to see if it'll actually receive messages. But thanks for the actual apk name because I had been looking for the vvm apk under the app name.

Yes I accidentally pulled the apk while shrinking the original rom too as it was not listed in my apps. So i made a copy of the rom that i flashed(needs to be one built off of official sprint rom i.e. any of the 1.5s or damage's latest 2.1 leak) then i unzipped the copy onto the desktop for simplicity. Went into system/apps/ found the Sprint_Core.apk and used fresh's pre-kitchen to push the file to system/apps on the phone. Just reboot and viola! I'm on Damage's new 2.1 Sprint leak btw.

A lil ot but can anyone confirm the link I provided is working? I try clicking it and it takes me to my 4shared acct.

If I remember right it is your phone # (123-456-7890) No 1 before and use your area code.

Is it coming out of the era piece or whatever you call the thing. It's automatically setup to go throught that.

I learned the hard way. Called sprint, chatted with them to no avail. i could not remove conditional call forwarding. The kept telling me *720..
It didn't work. *730 and *720 will remove call forwarding. You have to do both if you did*28

hey working method to install This Should Work "Worked for me anyways"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can alway make a back up of build.prop by making a copy and renameing it to build.prop.bak fyi
"the value in build.prop where it says something like VVM=true needs to be set to false, then you can grab it from the market.
just searched...
its about 3/4 of the way down, saying vvm is preloaded, change it to false." "all pulled from another post somewhere"
this has worked for me again after changing up to GummyJar 2.5
ohh and change permissions for Vvm.apk in root explorer just ck them all thats what i did and the attached file has everything done but permissions and placement of files goodluck and dont forget to make a backup & reboot
1 mount system/apps R/W
2 place vvm.apk in system/apps
3 change permissions "ck them all even tho the first two user ones and the first 1 on the other 2 should be good"
4 make backup of build.prop you already have by renameing it to build.prop.bak
5 place attached build.prop "came from Droid2" to system or just make a copy of your own open it with notepad on your PC and edit it
6 reboot should be installed in the app drawer
Goodluck and hope that was detailed enough
this method has worked on my Droid 2 and my Droid 2 Global and someone elses Droid X it should work for you too

[Q] Speech to Text?

So when I was on R2BA023 (rooted with the method from Bin4ry, Biktor_gj, jerpelea, et al.) I was able to use the little microphone on the HTC IME mod keyboard, and on the Google Search widget to speak instead of type my messages.
About 3 weeks ago, I re-rooted my phone using some other method on here (and updated to 26), and now I can't do speech to text.
Just wondering if it's because of the root method, or if anyone knows how I can get it back?
Thanks for any help...

somewhere in the settings there is something you select to make it download the speech stuff. you must of done that at some point on the old firmware

Alright, did some research, and basically, you need an app called "Google Search By Voice"...not sure if I put it on, or if it was in the 23 root package, but either way, it's been removed from the market for some reason.
I managed to find the apk, here's a link if anyone else has the same issue:

It's been removed in place of Google Voice, which is an all commands in one application for either 2.1 or 2.2. I don't remember which.

Android Market?

I just finished reading an article on Eweek that indicates that access to the android market in mow available for computers http://market.android.com/....
I don't know if it is only supported on Honeycomb, but I can't wait to get home and try it...
here is the Eweek article also:
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and...comb-on-Xoom-Wows-Crowd-at-Googleplex-866135/

I shared your excitement but as I'm sure you discovered, it still does work! You need to log in with a Google ID, but when you do, it tells you that there is no Android phone associated with your account.
I don't have an Android phone but I wonder if I did have one and registered it, would the A7 then be able to access the Market?
Really, Google has made the situation worse because now I can see all the great apps in the Market but can't access them! There more bliss in the ignorance when I couldn't see the apps at all!

Dexter mod
Install the Dexter mod and you will have access to the market

try the slideme market just search for slideme in google

Unfortunately, I updated to the Feb 4 firmware 1 day before I learned of of this...so now I wait!

I went to market.android.com on my device. Signed in with my Google Apps account, the same one I used to sign into Google Apps services on my A7. It shows everything I have downloaded using Dexters mod marketplace in it's history or whatever it's called. Also, I can choose install on any non installed app and immediately the app downloads to the A7. I didn't get any messages about the device not being registered. it just seems to work. I am in Canada as that may make a difference.

You can still use Dexter's MOD, you'll just need to do a back up and wipe/reset the device before updating.

Is there another way to get android without Dexer's Mod? My sister is getting one of these and I want to install the Market on it for her but I don't want her to have root (If it were mine it would be a different story). There should be some way to install the market and associated services to run it with an APK file without needing to root it, like my Archos 70.

Borrow a friends Android phone, turn on its Bluetooth.
Turn on your tabs Bluetooth,pair them, use a file transfer program on his phone,download market on his phone when done tranfer it to your pad.A friend of mine did it and it works on on the free apps so far.You should then sign up with google account,before trying to get apps.

I have a android phone with the market and dexter 1.3 on my a7 when I go to the market on the computer it gives me the choice to sent apps to my a7 or to my phone. I have my a7 on and on the internet. It will send the app directly to the a7.

I have a dumb question! The mod by Bestialbub (What a name!) looks pretty simple, and it is what I am leaning towards. I really like my A7 and do not want to mess with it too much. I may even just decide to wait to see if Elocity comes out with an official patch. I just flashed my unit to the newest firmware. Do I need to do this again, as stated in the first part of the directions, or can I just boot into the recovery mode and flash using the file that I download? Also, what is the risk for doing this? Have many of you ran into issues with it? Thanks!

my market patch works fine w the latest update. check out my twitter under the same name for updated recoveries that will let you backup your rom, flash my mod, and restore back to where you were if you dont like it.
my mods a small one that can be applied anytime over the existing firmware. a factory reset should be done after that will wipe your data and let the google apps install properly on next rom boot.
i would suggest to wipe/factory reset w my clockworkmod recovery (on my twitter) as it should leave your internal storage partition w your media downloads alone. note; i havent actually tried that suggestion (reset) from cwm, but it sounds like a good idea.

I just ran this update, and followed the instructions to the letter. Everything seemed to go well, however, when the device rebooted, I see no Market link. What did I do wrong?
Never mind! I figured it out. The update.zip file I had on my sdcard was the elocity firmware file. I copied the patch to the wrong spot!! DOH!!!.;p).

Alas, Woe is me.
I went and loaded things (wallpapers, eBooks, games, etc.) onto my A7.... then I find this forum!
Is there an easy way (perhaps with a free, non-Marketplace, app) to back up all of this onto an SD card (or even a USB flash drive) and then re-install it after installing one of these mods?
I'm sure I could copy everything over individually, but there's got to be an easier way....is there?

Error when watching HBO Go even after IMEI generated

hello, sorry i searched an was unable to find a solution. I used the new solution of generating an imei number and have been able to log into hbo go and install swype, but when i go to play a video i get the HBO vid then an error about some videos may not be available. i tried the same videos from my phone with no problems. help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance.

***I don't have HBO Go so I'm basically guessing here***
If you were using one of my hacked framework.jar files and then moved to DizzyDen's patched framework.jar then this would appear as if you IMEI number changed (which on a phone should never ever happen!)
I would start by clearing data in the HBO GO app and perhaps even un-installing / re-installing. Also, if you can log into your account (again I have no knowledge of how the app works) and somehow "reset" your devices, that might help.
Good Luck,

If you'r running CM7... go into phone app and dial *#06#... When you hit the second # it will pop up a box telling you the IMEI...
If running MN'd stock... go to market and get IMEI widget... launch it and it will also report your IMEI.
The In-Place patch is to update framework.jar that is already on your device (ADB must be working... either via USB or WiFi).... this will keep you from having to patch a ROM every time you download it before updating the Nook... just update the ROM... then run in-place patch... it will modify the framework.jar on your device.

[HOW TO] *New Instructions* Add Amazon VOD to Android Phone

*NEW INSTRUCTIONS*
Today I figured out how to get Amazon Video On Demand app on my phone and watch videos
I did this with a rooted phone, I am not sure if you phone needs to be rooted to accomplish this task. I have attached the required files to accomplish this task. These steps are assuming you have a rooted phone.
REQUIREMENTS:
Download attached APKs
Wireless connectivity
VooDoo OTA for rooted phones (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Copy downloaded APKs to your phone
2. Install each APK and make sure to click DONE after each installs
3. Enable phones Wireless and connect via WiFi
4. Go to your phone SETTINGS>ACCOUNT AND SYNC
5. Press ADD ACCOUNT
6. Press AMAZON and enter your Amazon Prime credentials
7. Start the VooDoo OTA app
8. Press TEMP.UN-ROOT and allow the program to temporarily unroot your phone
9. Reboot your phone
10. When the phone comes up, still be attached via wireless and try your app
I hope this works for everyone who tries, please report your findings
Currently this app only works on wireless it will not work with your cell signal. I am looking to see if I can figure out how to enable the app to use the cell signal, I'm not a developer but I do have an idea to try!

ill try this on my Amaze 4G when i get home

I did all of these on my CM7 mod and "Watch Now" is still grayed out for me.

The only think I can say is that make sure the device is un-rooted and reboot after using the VooDoo OTA
You're just about there!

do you guys think this would work with the bionic?

Are you doing this on a phone or on your Fire?
I wonder if you can remove root from some alternative method and see if you can run VOD, perhaps remove BurritoRoot if that's what you have installed.

There is something about CM7 that amazon does not like. I have never gotten it to work on CM7, even after temp unrooting. But if I did the same thing on a none cm7 rom, it worked fine. Go figure.

It's on a fire. Before I flashed CM7 over, I was running just a rooted fire, and voodo ran just fine allowing amazon video to work when needed. Would be a shame if I couldn't get it to run on CM7.. not a huge loss, just would like to see if it could work on this variant..

That's too bad that it doesn't work on CM7
Maybe I should try it and see what I can find out

will try and post quick feed back

EDIT - I flashed the updated/MAC address fix - No wipe ROM, but still a no go... Might have to do a full wipe/install?
This is the ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?hmdc0lmgvnlbg97
Located in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773&highlight=mac
"If you're upgrading from an EXISTING CM7 install then use this ROM instead. This one will NOT wipe the cache and data partitions which should mean that you can upgrade from one version of CM7 to another without losing any of your existing date (or that's at least the idea)"

I tried this on my CM7 Kindle Didn't Work
I copied the apk's and ran the installs. It won't let me login to Amazon even. I just grabbed the apk's from the Kindle Fire .bin file though. I'll try the ones you have for download in your post and see if they work differently.

Hmm, MAC wasn't the problem
I'm on ICS and when I try to add an Amazon account I get a failure. I've checked my MAC and it's the same as under stock, but what does concern me is my serial number is all 0's.
Has anyone got this to work under ICS? Is everyone's serial number all 0's? Any other hints on how to get VOD working?

its working fine on my amaze 4g!
