[REQUEST] Android Gesture Search

Does anyone have the actual app from the market on their phone? Could you post it here and see if it'll work on our 1.6 with Eclair bits? Or if there's someone out there who could hack it like they did with the 4.0.0 maps. I could really use this kind of search feature.

indeed, looking for this one too! could come in handy

I loaded it onto my ADP1 (more details on my setup in my sig) but sadly it won't even install, as it checks for 2.1 an will tell you, that you don't have 2.1.
So either you'll have to edit the apk or some system files.

The APK is available over in this thread, and I just tried editing it to reduce the version requirements but it still isn't working fully. See my post in that thread.

Google just put it out for 1.6. Woot!

Yeah noticed it this morning! Awesome.

blockbuster app

http://rapidshare.com/files/409719336/Bbrip.apk
This is the ripped apk from the droid x
I got a dev over in their forum to get it for me but it's unable to install on our aria's
hoping to get it working for us cause that would be awesome
any ideas?

ERROR: Application requires API version 8. Device API version is 7 (Android 2.1-update1) looks like you will have to test drive the new froyo for aria if you want to test this unless there is a way to update api on the android, and i doubt it.

Ya i was just about to post that i went ahead and tried on a 2.2 VM and it gave same error.
maybe someone with a droid X can run the manifest viewer from here https://www.isecpartners.com/mobile_application_tools.html
and see what all its checking for.

Moved to Themes and Apps, as this is not Development related.

This app is now available in the Android Market.

Is it? I just searched for Blockbuster, didn't find it.

It was published to the Android Market by Blockbuster on accident, apparently it has to be optimized for each device so they pulled it. I installed it but I haven't tried it at all.

UPDATED gapps-mdpi [20th oct]

Google Apps
aka gapps are the android applications written and maintained by Google Inc.
This software for Android is closed-source (so devs don't like include them in their own roms).
What's the latest version?
The latest version is: 20101020 (20th oct).
New update: mdpi-20101225 (GingerBread supported) thanks arco68
Which version of Android OS are 'em written for?
GApps follow the android upgrades, latest versions are written for Android 2.2 (Froyo).
If you run Android 2.1 (Eclair), you should install ERE36B; previous versions (1.5/1.6) can run this: DRC83 (Must be flashed before the ROM). NOT TESTED YET
After installing ERE36B or DRC83 you should be able to update some app (like maps) from the market.
If you have a donut/eclair rooted phone, google could send you a market update (vers. 2007) remove update from "settings" because it's a froyo version and will never work fine.
Why mdpi?
There are 3 kind of density: high (hdpi, like passion), medium (like Dream/Sapphire) and low (our phone).
Sadly doesn't exist a ldpi pack, but mdpi should works fine..
Where is the Android Market? Is it patched?
The Android Market (Vending.apk) is as it comes from BigG, not a patched version.
How to install?
1)Download this package:
* 20101020 (16,7MB)
md5sum: a5571643a90e265527add455e7da9486
What does it contain?

MediaUploader.apk
Talk.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk

-or-
* tiny-20101020 (7,4MB)
md5sum: bf7b653a4320dc33b15ad945a41cd56c
It's smaller because doesn't contain:
CarHomeGoogle.apk

2) copy it into the sd card
3) reboot in recovery
4) flash it like a rom
I decided to open a thread where mirror them and try to answer to common questions.
Good ideas or suggestions will be appreciated...

maybe a good idea, cos it is my experience that many people, from this or that reason finds older versions, or particular version of much more use then the current/most updated once (F.E. I remember reading that a number of users found "ChromeToPhone working & useful). Just imagine how much android market would be enhanced if you would be offered a choice of what version of app. you want, not only the newest one...
with hope that this thread could evolve into something...Great?

I flashed these apps and now my market doesn't work anymore.
I can search for apps, view their description, but download/update does not start.
Progressbar appears and after a minute, "download unsuccessful" appears..
I use SPQRom 0.5 and market did work before I flash these gapps.
Any Help?

Still no gapps

for those of you wanting to get swype working, if you google swype v2.6.48.12226 wsvga. click the first link, and look in post 53, you might find a way to get it working.
Just throwing this out there for those of you like me that wanted swype working with out all this coding nonsense.

Anyone brave enough to try the G2x Swype.apk? (See post #8)

I would try it but don't want to mess up my 2.6 installation.

Just tested it. When installing the apk, it says "Application not installed" so it won't overwrite.
I uninstalled my version (2.6) and installed the new version (2.26 I think). Trying to get into the settings is an instant force close.
If anyone has any idea how to get the new version working, that would be welcome!

ive been getting some reports that the other links are no good, so heres a working one.

I cant seem to get it to run at all with phiremod 6.1? any suggestions?

installed, but I can't choose it, it doesn't appear in the Nookcolor Tools keyboard settings. Anybody know how?

btw I PAID for slidIT and it stopped working when I reflashed. they said I would need to pay for a new license every time I reflashed. they are thieves.

The version linked here is the one that works and I'm using it now. But still it's a rather old version. A number of terrible bugs that still exist in this version have already been fixed in the proper beta. I'd love it if there were a way to take the most recent beta and make that work on the Nook instead.
Sent from my Nook Color!

which OS are you running on your nook? what did you do to install it? it installs for me and I can select it in settings but only android keyboard comes up always.

Stock rooted 2.1, downloaded from the links above, installed with Astro, sucessfull

pretty good swype in this download. Works and it is better than stock or slideIT.

Finally figured it out you have to select it in settings AND then hit the little circle at the bottom left of the android keyboard and select it there too. Hooray for swype !!! When it finally gets to market I will buy it. I missed it so much ! BTW did I mention that the slideIT butholes are thieves?

I can't choose it in settings first :/
I think it can't be done in stock eclair..

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.

Good post. Good idea.

My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Not on the market for T-Bolt, and sorry...I missed the GB in the thread title (linked here from another thread).
At the risk of being accused of threadjacking, somebody saw my post and sent me a link for a MyVerizon app that works on a stock T-Bolt. (Thanks Zinsko!) So in case somebody makes the same mistake as me and wants the same answer, It's here

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.

Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?

Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

I see someone beat me too it
And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.

All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

Won't install or won't run?

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero

When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?
