[Q] Can't install Google Voice on A500 - Acer Iconia A500

Does anyone else has this problem?
I can't find Google voice when i search on market, using A500.
So, i tried to follow direct link to app in Market. Still - it will not install it.
Any known workaround?

GV isn't supported on Honeycomb as far as I know

This may only be possible if you're rooted, I can't say because I've rooted every Android device I've ever had. This is the way I got GV working on my Nook Color and Acer A500, both running HC.
Ok, first if you have GV on your Acer make sure every trace is uninstalled.
Downoad the apk and install GV 4.2.24 on the tablet (BUT DON'T OPEN IT)
This is very important, also install GV 4.2.24 on your phone.
Then I copy the shared_prefs folder from data/data/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice on your phone and put it on your computer.
Navigate to data/data/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice on the tablet and paste or drag and drop the shared_prefs folder inside data/data/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
It should not have that folder yet but if for some reason it does just overwrite it.
Then you should be able to run GV. If my memory is correct it may crash the first time, but after that it will open to your inbox.

the way I did it, was by doing a back up on my phone with titanium back up then transfer that file to my A500 then restored app. Haven't had a problem since.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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 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?

UPDATE: Latest "Market" Now 3.3.12

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

[Q] NST GMarket search

Hi,
I am kind of new to Android (not linux) and I am asking myself, if it is even possible to enable the search function somehow in Google Market.
There are several attempts to do so and some report it working. Unfortunately, the working reports are so old that I am confused weather it is still possible or not.
I have tried several Vending.apk's, even the ones reported working as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51
I am on 1.1.2. Maybe someone could confirm/disprove Market search working or not. Then we would know if struggling is worth the task getting it to work.
Thanks for the reply

Use SearchMarket.apk to search for apk's in the market.
It work's if you have registered your gmail account correctly (that is your market.apk works/connects to google play).
http://www.appbrain.com/app/searchmarket/youten.redo.searchmarket?install=appwidget
yeah no, that was not what i meant.
Of course Market is working with a proper gmail adress. I was talking about it being possible to search the market w/o searchmarket app. Like people telling it would work, but most posts are still of 2011. So my question is: Is it even possible to search the Market in nowadays Google Play time w/o 3rd party apps?
Why is searching not possible? IMO, it is because of server restictions, not because of the Vending.apk. Right?
So I assume these "claimed to be working" Vending.apk's are not working anyway anymore, are they?
Thx
How can I get the SearchMarket.apk file for manual adb installation? My Nook Market app won't let me install any app.
Edit: Managed to get it installed by searching for it from within the Browser and installing from the web interface. Weird but after that the SearchMarket app was shown topmost on MyApps in Market and could be clicked, which begun installation.
The problem is Market for Nook only displays a limited # (~15) of MyApps (given I have a Galaxy S3 with 350+ apps installed and that the Nook Market doesn't restrict to Nook installed ones).
just download market search from gstore ....... log on gmail acc that u root ur nst with and go to google store and search ur appz ur desire and download to ur acc ....... once u connect ur nook to wifi ur appz will download successfully , between that i am use market seacher on my rooted nst 1.1.2 and works great till now , try methid above with reinstall market searcher
good luck

The apk itself is free so i guess uploading it here is not illegal.
I recently uninstalled (deleted) the apks of certain android apps like gtalk, calendar from my system/app folder on my rooted NST using root explorer.
Not sure if it is related, but, unable to install any app now from the app market. I use app-brain app market for downloading apps.
I'm able to find the apps, but on clicking on download, it doesn't get downloaded and instead says it is 'downloading' without any apparent change.
Is the problem related to the deletion of certain apks?
Note: haven't deleted any apk even associated with the word download/market.

I'm able to find the apps, but on clicking on download, it doesn't get downloaded and instead says it is 'downloading' without any apparent change.
Is the problem related to the deletion of certain apks?
Note: haven't deleted any apk even associated with the word download/market.

I'm having the same problem. I was a able to download apps from market a couple days ago but not yesterday or today. I don't think I uninstalled anything in the meantime. Anyone have any ideas?

Solved it. I Had uninstalled gtalk thinking it was unnecessary on the NST but it broke the market.
Installed gtalk and the market started working fine again.
You are sure you didn't uninstall anything?
What is the error btw? It takes you to the download page but the download doesn't begin?

[Q] Installing 3rd party apps on Nook Simple Touch

Hello there,
I have rooted my nook simple touch using the guide found bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35267728#post35267728
It worked out after a while of struggling, but now I am wondering how am I able to install 3rd party android apps on it? I have downloaded a test .apk application on the nook toc heck either it is working. It comes out that it doesnt, but maybe its because i went browsing for it using the library app, as I havent found any other file browser on the system. I amrunning the latest 1.2.1 version.
I Would really aprichiate some help in this matter, I tried googling out but i havent found anything specific to help me solve the problem, there were some solutions to the newer models that dont apply for me.
@bremenpl,
Arguably, the best file explorer available for the Nook Touch is ES File Explorer 3 (free on Google Play). It's what I use.
To enable 3rd-party app installation, install NookColor Tools, open the app, and check the box for "Allow Non-Market Apps".
The problem is I dont have any file browser at all and I cant install any .apk on my nook. NookColor Tools is also an .apk and I cannot open this kind of file in library browser. How to overcome that? I dont have google apps installed as I didnt want to install google play, gmail and etc. I tried loging into amazon appstore that is installed, but it doesnt accept my login nad password.

Ah, I see your point. Thankfully, this can be remedied if you have either ADB set up, the app Terminal Emulator, or both. What do you have?
I have none of it. Whats more straight forward to do?

I'd say Terminal Emulator, but that's yet another app that you need non-market permission to install.
ADB it is, then. PM me for extensive installation instructions.
