I got Google Voice working.

edit: Can probably ignore most of this and use this APK instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11955195&postcount=75
I've been bothered by Google Voice not working since I got my Xoom on launch day, but have been using the web portal... Until now.
I loaded up my Droid, backed up Google Voice+settings with Titanium Backup, restored it on my Xoom and it came up without doing the setup, since it already had my account settings installed. It force closed the first time but I noticed an error in the notification area... Error was asking for permission to use that email address as my Google Voice account, I accepted, re-launched Google Voice and success, full app, working as it would on the phone. Gives notifications and everything.
Enjoy!

Good work I will have to check that out.

Awesome!

Do you have to be rooted?

Maybe I don't know any better, but how did you do that without a working SD slot?

What do you mean? Don't need an SD slot, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder from your Android phone to your PC then copy it to the Xoom...

Yes, need to be rooted, install BusyBox(there's a Market app for that) then install Titanium Backup. I've tried just installing the APK, naturally no luck.

You could also use dropbox (or something similar) or even just email the APK to yourself.

Gotta have more than just the APK, got to have the data that goes with GV as well, hence Titanium Backup is needed...

Have you rebooted yet? Every app I have tried to restore with tb has stopped working as soon as I rebooted the xoom.

Can you look in your data/data folder and see if you have a google voice folder that starts with a period and then a reg one...also what version of tb...not at home to try this yet.

Latest version of the free TB, whatever version that is...
There's no directory in there that starts with a .(at least, according to ls -a, I don't have Root Explorer on here, using terminal), there is a com.google.android.apps.googlevoice directory with all the subdirectories and such though.

I can't get busy box to install. I'm rooted, but it's saying my NAND is locked or it wasn't able to remount.
[edit] nevermind. I guess it didn't like that I was plugged into my computer and didn't have the debug mode on. Strange.

Thanks man! Worked like a charm here. I hope it's better for slow 3G networks this time around. Ever since version 3.X.X it's impossible to use the Market with slow 3G.

You can just install it as a normal apk, that way you can revert back to the previous market, or if you have titanium backup, once you install it normally, use the integrate update into rom function.
Simple

Thanks for the share, able to install as like a normal app. I can see speed improvements as well as some extra settings like auto update apps

Nice one works like a charm!

Installed like a charm. Working quite nicely too.
Also, For those who dont wish to go through the hassle of assiging permissions. Not that it is hard, that is the best part. But for those afraid to break something I have an an alternative method of installing, you can install the update apk as a regular app and use Titanium Backup to convert to a "user app" and reconvert it to a "system app" and the update will be applied into the system. Please note this is only for owners of Titanium Backup PRO. And I also recommend making a backup of your current market file. Can never be too safe

I have a problem. Nothing displays in "My Apps" item when i choose it. Network or Market app problem? Pls, help!

work like a charm
just install like normal apk
and use less storage !!!

Extract them either to your phone or copy them over to your phone.
Next using root explorer go to data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases
DELETE the file contacts2.db-journal.
Copy the contacts2.db from the extracted file to data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases when asked if you would like to over the file currently there do so.
Make sure the contacts2.db permissions are set to rw-rw---
Restart
After reboot copy ContactsProvider.apk from the extractd zip to system/app and when asked overwrite the current file
Make sure ContactsProvider.apk has permissions set to rw-rw-r--

Okay Guys I am currently working on getting Facebook Contact Syncing to work on stock 4.2.2 so far I've got the sync menu back in Facebook just no syncing, I'm having trouble figuring out where to edit the contacts2.db I know that I have to place the following column into the raw_contacts table: is_restricted but no luck finding where to place it. If anyone can help me I'll post the zip file with everything going so we can have facebook sync back.
I'm using this guide to help me but its not very clear on the part I'm stuck on. Anyone able to help?
Once I get stock going I'll look at getting other ROM's going that currently don't support it.
**AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS HAXSYNC... I CURRENTLY USE THAT AND LOVE HOW CRISP THE PHOTOS ARE BUT IT DOES NOT SYNC PHONE NUMBERS WHICH IS WHAT I'M NEEDING**

You might try downloading a dump from a earlier version of android that supported Facebook Contact Syncing.
Then use a file compare tool like WinMerg to determine the differences and location of where "raw_contacts table: is_restricted" was inserted into supported versions.

Don't be a dummy like me...
If you intend to act stupid (like I did) and attempt this fix even though you aren't running a stock ROM, make sure you back up the ENTIRE "com.android.providers.contacts" directory... not just the files you are overwriting. If things go south, the whole directory can get deleted. I have no idea how this happened, but I assume it's the OS attempting to self-correct instead of exploding entirely.

Wish CyanogenMod would merge this. I would do this fix except for it would be overwritten after flashing a new CM build which happens several times a week.

How do you get the contacts to remember what contacts are joined? When I switch roms, I always have to rejoin/merge a few contacts. Does Google not remember??

Why should I give Facebook access to my contacts?

The main reason I wanted facebook back was so i could sync phone numbers none of the other apps provided this function I still use hacksync for ultra high quality contact photos though.

The setting is there but with Stock android on the nexuses syncing does not work, Google had removed the white listing in contacts, so files have to be edited to readd syncing support

If youre rooted.
-Open root browser.
-Open etc
-Search for the file hosts
-Open hosts and add a # in from of the ip address of JUST THE LOCAL HOSTS. I.e.
Instead of 12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts
Make it #12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts.
-Reboot

Dialer codes not working any more, due to root?

Rooted my S7E, and just noticed that the common Samsung dialer codes (as *#0*# or even *#06#) do no longer work!
When I enter them into the dialer nothing happens! I used them successfully before!
Only change is that I installed TWRP, root and Viper!
Do dialer codes work on your phone after root?

Yes, it works for me.

That's very strange. Root shouldn't affect those codes as they are generic for all devices.

Did you perhaps install the Google Phone application? I installed it and can't use dialer codes with it. If I switch back to the stock Samsung Phone application it works again.

I had this problem once. Factory reset did the trick for me

Solution to failed dialler codes
Boot into recovery using vol up+home button + power button.Then wipe cache in the recovery and reboot.I hope that solves it.

S7 Edge G935V
Yes My husband replaced the stock Rom on my rooted S7 G935v and the codes didn't work afterwards

maybe the feature was turned off during the root process. use a file browser with root permissions and navigate to the lowest level and go to-- /efs/carrier --then long press hidden menu and open it with a text editor. Using capital letters just change the OFF to ON then save it, reboot and try your codes again. :highfive:

I see that. Do you use the stock rom? See if you have the actual apk file in your system apps
if you don't have the apk file I think I can send mine. I'm pretty sure if you manually inset the apk in the system folder and change the permissions to match what the other apps in the folder have it should work. I mean you may have to create a couple other files though like the carrier folder and the document in it.
