UPDATE: build.prop that'll allow HTCMusic and Google voice to both work :D

I am wondering if there has been a build.prop file for cyan4.2.14.1 that will enable the installation of HtcMusic and will not crash Google Voice? Thanks for the help.

No, I use the web for google voice (voice.google.com) if I want HTCMusic.

This was something I didn't want to hear... haha thanks man.

No problem, the web version isn't that bad. I made a shortcut on the desktop with the GV icon, so it kinda cushions the blow a bit.

Lol I like your style of thinking.
EDIT: So I found a build.prop that'll work on cyan and allow GV and HTCmusic to install and both work properly. I'm not sure whatelse it'll break.. but we'll find out. I stole this from BlueMagic1.4
You'll want to remove the .txt and push it to /system
The GV is build 0.2. I haven't tested the latest.

Vlingo for Android Now Available!?!?!?

I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)

I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

This is exactly what I am experiencing...

This is a paid app, I pulled it up on my old G1. I don't think anybody is gonna post it here. Sorry for everybody who would actually pay for it.

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.

well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong

Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.

Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.

Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!

I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

I can open Gmail right now, click a text box, and press the voice button.

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.

I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

The first thing I noticed was how broken the interaction was when she said "call wonton shop" and it didn't call anywhere. it just looked up the number. the first result was a teriyaki place...go figure.
the second thing i noticed was the price. $10? for real? no thanks.

[Q] Google Maps alternative, I despise advertisements...

So today I used Google Maps to search for a location. I did not appreciate the ads at the bottom of the search results.
Is there a way to disable the ads? Shall I just reinstall Sprint Navigation(telenav is good) and use that instead?
Thank you thank you
edit: should have noted that i do use the turn by turn nav. so an online, gps enabled option is what id like. ill check out the option you noted, t12icky0

i had the same issue..i just didnt like Google maps. went through many different programs but eventaully ended up getting an APP called " IGO"...its an offline as well as online map directions service. you would just need to download the maps for you state(or any state).
ITS GREAT because you dont need an internet connection as it can run the maps and such offline unless you wanna use GPS(or anything else).

Where do you download iGo I don't see it in the market??

[REQUEST] Asus Zenfone in call screen for One plus One?

Hi Folks..I really like the in call screen and the way it handles accepting and rejecting calls. Does somebody can make a flashable zip or something so that we can have that interface in our One?
If I want to port it manually, which apk am I looking at? Does I have to include any lib files?
Please guide/help me Devs..[emoji4]

You also forgot to check if you can actually install it from the play store.
Which you can't. The play store link for the app will only allow you to install it on ASUS devices.

Unable to activate it
Thanks Guys!!
I got the .apk after some googling and able to install it . But there is no option to activate it.
Whenever I try to make a call, the default in-call screen is showing up.

From the Play Store I think you have to use the app's dialer to call then only u will get the call ui.
Just a wild guess tho

There is no "wild guess". You won't be able to run this app on your phone without serious hacking. It's not in the Play Store so you can easily install it on another device. It's in the Play Store so that Asus can directly update it as a system app through the store instead of forcing people to wait for OTA updates to update one specific app. HTC does this, Sony does this, Samsung does this. I'm not sure how you attained the "Recognized Contributor" status without knowing this? It's kind of a popular OEM feature of the Play Store these days.
You're not going to get that in-call screen unless a developer is seriously interested in it. It probably has all sorts of framework hooks that are specific to the stock Asus ROM. It's like asking a dev to port over a component of HTC Sense or Samsung Touchwiz over to AOSP. It's just not going to happen. I'd stop looking for it.
Additionally, it's pretty hard to modify the in-call screen like that with an app. The best you can really do are apps that overlay themselves on top of the dialer, which is really hack-y and not a clean way of doing it.

This is a modified dialer apk, and root is NOT required. All credit for this goes to those mentioned in the original OP.

Does this app actually make the call or is it just a dialer that opens the LG app soon as you hit send? I'm just looking for a solution to the stock app because it turns hot pink when you hang up... It's the only thing about this phone that I don't like. It's driving me crazy ?

Goto Settings > Apps > *Touch the 3 dots in the top right corner* and select Configure Apps > Default Apps > Phone App > *Select the Google Dialer. It will be listed as simply "Phone"
I have not tested this for incoming calls just yet, but for outgoing, it will skip the stock dialer completely. Hope this helps.

so no caller ID though... I wonder if the Tmobile Name ID feature will still work
Well standard caller ID works.. I will have to wait till an unknown number calls me to test the rest.

Stupid question maybe, but what exactly do you find wrong with the stock G5 dialer app, and what makes the Google dialer more desirable?

It's more visually pleasing? For people who really want a stock Google experience, it's one more thing to get you closer to that. With this and the Contacts app installable from APK Mirror, I'm officially using all the stock Marshmallow apps for everything but my Exchange email.

I find the LG dialler requires more finger presses. But I'm coming from the Song Xperia dialler.
New call: Go to dialler. Possibly not on the call tab so click that. Start to type name and some suggests come up. Click on the [v]. Select the person/number to call. And now the bit that annoys me, press the call button. If I click on number why not just call them, why show number and wait for me to press another button?
Call back: So I missed a call. Go to dialler, go to call logs, click on the call I missed. Show the contact details. WTF? So now I click the phone icon and call. Yes I know there is a little call icon but I'm used to clicking a phone number and it dials it. Not have to locate one tenth of the call log line to start a call.
Anyway, I'll get used to it but I do think I have to do more work for simple calls versus other diallers.

Wow. That is as clear and concise an answer as I could ask for. I wish my wife would answer simple questions like that, but I have to ask her twenty follow-up questions just to get an answer to the first one! So, I do see what you mean, and I have found it at least a little annoying myself. I guess I just accepted it as the way it is. Never really thought to look for a different dialer, but by golly it just might be worth a look now. Thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I hope you type much faster than I do, but I use Swype keyboard.

Does the original Dialer needs to be uninstalled first before installing Google-Dialer 3.00?
-> If yes, where to get that original Dialer found and uninstalled?
How about if Google-Dialer will be updated in future to 3.xx?
- Auto-Update or manual update needed?
- Link to webside to be able to always have the latest version installed?
Thx

It's crashing on me. Where can I get one that works?
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Ive had no issues with this. Been using it for a week or so & has been flawless.

Also been working for me with no issues. Combined with the Google Contacts app and then Calendar, Clock, and Calculator, throw an icon pack into Nova, and I seriously feels like I'm stock. Very very happy.

as soon as i click on the icon i get "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" message.

There are several versions out there. It would be helpful if ya'll would specify which version is or is not working. I am running the 2.05.07_rc4 with no issues. I haven't tried the 3.0 version yet.
