S Voice On U8800!!!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! Its working again and was fixed as I sespected because they checked the build.prop so I added the new link here for you all to download the new signed version.
So i decided to download the s voice apk dump that was on the main thread and try it on our phone and guess what... IT WORKS
So head over to this thread and scroll down to the bottom of the post download the rar extract it and install the apk like normal then have fun.

P.S it would be a nice feature for roms to have so it could be a good idea to incorporate it in your next release cough cough dzo

I tried on 2 phones - both says error parsing the package. So the link you gave doesn't work on our phones or HTC.
EDIT: of course if it's on ICS than i know why it's not working, because i use Gingerbread. Well then i live withiuth it. i gues it needs wi-fi/3G to work and that's is bad option for me.

what has this got to do with "development"?

not to much but its only in the development section so that developer will find it easier eg dzo and incorporate it into there rom

i bet the forum moderators have alternate views on this..
the development section is a serious place for development-related discussions instead of personal taste-related stuff..

well we will let them to decide when they get round to it but as far as im concerned this is where i reckon it should be

So now, the criteria to post on the development section is whether the poster wants the ROM devs to read or not? LoL

Thank you for posting this!
BUT, I'm on ICS (DZO) 2.04, and the app started OK but now it's just tell's me "unfortunally the application has stopped"
Which ICS are you on?

Moved To General​
How is this development? Please post in the correct section!​

This version does not needs changes in build.prop:
[App/MOD/Fix] S Voice app- "Network Error" Fix w/o Changing your build Prop
Not tested yet.
---edit---
It's working

I have been waiting for an app like this for a LONG time.

works like a charm... waiting that perhaps appears a version with portuguese language buit in

Haha cheers I just saw this on the main portal and hve edited this post with the new link

[ALL MUST READ] XDA-Developers and the GPL

Dear kernel and ROM developers.
According to GPL v2 license, under which kernels are released, kernels must be released with source code provided.
To be fully compliant, the thread must contain.
@ kernel devs
Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary
Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released
Example.
Kick-ass kernel
Built with android-toolchain 4.8 4.8-2013.05 (linking isn't a bad idea)
Branch used to compile (can be a direct link to git)
Name of the defconfig used in build
A short instruction about how to build it (not necessary, but useful)
Click to expand...

@ ROM devs
if ROM uses custom boot.img, the source must be provided. If it uses kernel by someone else, the kernel thread must be linked in the OP
if the ROM contains stock kernel, source must be linked (official site can be used)
Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your ROM non compliant and subject to removal
Violation of GPL is in fact a breaking of the law, so I don't have to explain what could be a final of this.
More information can be found in the news written by pulser_g2.
Thank you for your attention.

This user was warned about it before and didn't comply. Hence the removal. All the rest have 7 days to provide kernel sources in their threads.

Yes. All ROMs with kernels must have its source provided. No matter how old they are.

If you are not sure, remove a kernel from your zip

You can check the screenshots in the particular ROM thread and then find out from the screenshot about which kernel you used in the ROM and can provide a link to the kernels being used in your ROM.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. One week is long enough to do such simple thing as adding a link. Every member need to read the rules while joining the XDA and the rule says:
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

GPL is a part of the legal system, so should be followed on every forum.

Refer to this post here by XDA Moderator @zelendel Since there is no Kernel Source which are required by XDA Rules and GPL Law No Rom Should be Shared here and Since The Link of your Rom Directs to Others Work without their permission and absence of kernel sources you cannot link it here That is the reason Development Forum is Closed

Thread closed. Do not post links to roms that are 1. Not your work. 2. Break our rules. 3. Links like this have no place in Development.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][SHARE] LineageOS 14.1

Hi everyone,
I'm sharing the download link for unofficial LineageOS which I found while browsing AFH.
This is developed by @facoco. Big thanks to him.
I'm only sharing the download link and by no means do I take credit for anything and also if the developer of the ROM wants to delete this thread, he is free to. I don't want to offend any developer. It's because of their hard work that we can install all these great ROMs.
Here's the link to download the ROM:
Moderator Edit: Link removed
Use open Gapps.
I haven't tested it so can't say anything about bugs.
This post is just to share the ROM and if any developer wants to delete this thread, they can do so.
And once again, big thanks to @facoco for this build.

This really belongs in the Developer section, and you should only post it with permission, there might be a reason that dev didn't post it here... The General section is not for ROMs.
I think that @Alberto97 is the official maintainer and will probably rename or start a new thread as needed, although I have been out of the custom ROM game on the G3 for a while now. There is also an unofficial LOS thread in Original Developers as well.
