[APP] Genius Button for CM7

For those people that enjoy the use of the Genius button and Dragon Dictation.
This is the Genius button app that came stock with Espresso Froyo put into a flashable zip. It was taken from the Espresso Sense Rom and has been confirmed working on CM7. I have also included the app called Button Shortcut (free on market) in the zip to make things easier. It can be used to open any app using the Genius Button / longpress search button. The Genius app should also work on HTC Froyo Roms too. Much thanks to the CM team for making CM7 compatable with these apps.
This needs to be flashed/installed from ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it just
like you would flash a rom. You should not need to wipe anything first.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this.

Yes it actually works very well. There is a setting so it doesn't have to verify your contacts now. You can get to it by pressing the button and when it asks you to speak you can hit the menu button.

I'll give it a whirl since vlingo hasnt been working for me on cm7

Works like a charm.
EDIT: LOVING being able to put the genius app on the genius button again. Stuck Navigation onto my camera longpress . MANY thanks for this!

not nearly as fast as vlingo, but has gotten way faster from the 2.1 version. thx bud

A couple of hours after flashing this I begin to have problems with my market and maps. I restored my backup and it works fine. I have tried this on several builds and have the same problem. I use the same builds without it and everything works great. Anyone else having a problem with it? Hope I can get it to work. I want the genius button back. Thanks for posting this.

What kind of problems are you having? I haven't had any issues at all. This should have absolutely no effect on your market. What type of wipe have you done? The slide isn't my primary but I going to sim it up and run it for a bit see if I can help.

I wouldn't think it would cause a problem either. It's the only change I made though. I do a full wipe between each build I try. I have tried on build 19, 21, 23, all with full wipe. On build 19 my market wouldn't download anything. My maps also started force closing. I cleared data and flashed gapps again. Still didn't work. I restored backup and it was fine. On build 21 and 23 my maps worked but my market would not open. It would start to open but close itself again. It doesn't happen right away. It starts several hours later. I have tried each build without and no problems. I do appreciate you posting this though cause at least I can try to get it working. Thanks for trying to figure it out.

Private message me. I have a few things for you to try.

This setup gives me absolutely no problems on my CM-6.1.1, Though there have been problems with the market on CM-7 builds 19 - 23 and I haven't tested this on CM7 due to the variation of people having infrequent problems lately.
One thing I have done though was removed the 'flashable' aspect of it and simply added it to the main ROM being sure to include the /lib folder as well. Works great!

Works on CM 6.1.1
Had to download button shortcut from market. But after I did that and configured it-all is well. And yes it's a bit faster than it was on stock 2.1.

It should have automatically installed it for you. Are you sure it didn't?

This is working great now! I really appreciate having my Genius Button back. Thanks go out to Drew for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks again bro!

Can you get the driving mode to work as on the stock ROM? I flashed it twice and ran fix permissions but when i say driving mode on it responds with hand free is on, but no icon on status bar and wont announce caller or announce theres a new text. Voice dialing, composing text and web search work though. I was just hoping for the driving mode to work.

This is awesome!
I got my search button and a working Genius Button at the same time on my favorite rom (3rdSense)....sweet!!!!

[Q] Flash not working on CM07

Hello XDA, this is my first post, as searching has answered all my questions until now.
I installed cm07 builds 13 and 14 several times over the last two days and can't seem to get flashplayer to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone as far as to completely formatting my internals before reinstalling and nothing is working. I'm currently running cm07 build 14 with dalingrin's kernal. I appreciate any help.

Anybody? Please.....

I was under the impression that flash not working on CM7 was a known issue that they were working on. I would imagine it will be fixed in a matter of days.

I used Browser, went to www.youtube.com and it automatically changed it to mobile. Finally, I found a setting marked Desktop and the result was typeface that required an electron microscope to read (even zooming did not help much).
I found a video and the result was "You need to install Flash 10.1" and a link to do which required the world's smallest finger not to click on the ad right below.
Finally got it installed and Flash works in Youtube Desktop in Browser, but video still does not work in Youtube Android App

you got it. youtube app does not work with cm7 yet because they do not have hardware video acceleration working. I think this is posted at least 1000 times
an easier way to get flash is to download it from the market.

What does the package do in order to make it work. And why do we have to do this, I thought this was a feature that should be working without jumping through hoops.

As for the feature, give it a shot. You will find it missing.

This is my first HTC Android device - what is htcsense.com? Also, do I use cwm to flash this to the phone?
Edit: NM - got it installed and working - thanks OP!

Thanks alot man. Been looking forward to this. Seems it should have been released with it working out of the box....sad that you even HAD to fix it...

Wow! Only locations app/widget to be resolved now to get full functionality.

didn't see in your does and does not work list, but does this work for HTC Hub for wallpapers, scenes and themes? I clicked "Get More" and it just sits and a screen with a spinner.

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with this. Downloaded and flashed it a more than once. The app shows up under system/app checked via root explorer, but its not in my app list and when I try to click on the MyHTC.apk, it says installation not complete. Any suggestions?

Same here
I get no Hub icon widget, but when i go to add more skins etc. I get the 'get more' option which then connects me to htc hub to download. Sad thing that it just sits on loading and nothing ever appears

That was an inadvertent feature/side effect.
Scenes and skins are no bueno, but sound packs , ringtones, notifications, and widgets work.

Will the features be added

This isn't the Desire Z.
Follow the directions or it will not work.
Also, unlike the Desire Z, which has separate apps for each hub function, ours are integrated.

Got it working and I'm signed in. It was just throwing me off that there was no app in the app drawer. Thanks for letting ne know not to look for it.

What keeps USAA Mobile from loading?

The Market app is happy to download the USAA app and attempt to load it, but it's always unsuccessful.
Any ideas why and whether something can be done about this? I'd really love to use this application.

As a 30+ year member, I wanted it too and got it to work once when I first loaded it, then no joy. Cleared data and uninstalled.
I just use Dolphin HD to go to the actual site. Works fine and goes to USAA Mobile without issue.

I was having the exact same trouble with the USAA app when my tablet arrived in the mail. I have found that the fix described in the following link will get it working for Vegan Tab 5.1 (and I would assume for any other ROM where the app is displayed but it will not install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Please post back on here if you have any luck!

Works for me
The app works fine on mine, running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and Clymsen's Kernel ver. 9.

"Working" in the sense that it will install and run for you? The market fix just changes the search results, so I can't see how that would help with installation. I have no difficulty locating the app, nor in downloading it. The problem seems to be entirely on my tablet when installation is attempted.

Would you be willing to post a copy of the .apk you're using? One can easily be created using appack.

Pulled from my Titanium Backup
Here is the .apk, though in fairness it does not work on my wife's Nextbook2 tablet. It would be nice if CWM was loadable on it, it is a decent piece of hardware, even better with a decent rom.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, I can't get it to sideload.

I haven't tried to load the market on mine so I can't install the app on the Tablet. My cell phone seems to use the google mapping GPS function with the USAA mobile app. Could that be whats causing the refusal to install? I know I had to enable it to get the app to install .

That would have been my guess, but michaeljwestii has it running on his g-Tablet.
I did try using location spoofing apps and tried installing it with the CyanogenMod 7 ROM that has functioning location service over WiFi. In neither case would it even install.

mine doesnt install either

I cannot get the app to display in market on my gtablet (running CM7 nightly or stable) and I cannot get android market from the web to push it my gtablet either. So I had my son install the app (version 3.3) on his epic and i side loaded it. Run just fine for me. What kind of error is everybody getting when they try to side load the app?

The standard, un-helpful "Application not installed" notification in Package Installer.

Maybe a kernel issue. It installed from the Market just fine on 4349 (1.2 kernel). When I downgraded back to 3588, it again wouldn't install.

Works on my tab...running Vegan Ginger.
3.3 version of the USAA app.

I have had that error in a couple of situations which I think does not sound they apply to your case but here were my solutions. One was To go into ROM Manager and have it fix file permissions, reboot, then try to reinstall the app. The other one was when I already had an older app installed and tried to install a newer app. I used Titanium Backup to force uninstall the older app and then exit Titanium Backup and install the newer app. For some odd reason the older app did not show up in market.

I had the USAA app installed at one point. I was able to use FakeGPS app (from android market) to manually set my location, but that was only required for the mobile check deposit function (which worked!). All other functions were working without that.
I'm now having trouble finding the USAA app on the google market, on either my Viewsonic Gtablets (one Brilliant Corners 1.2.1, other is TNT lite, 4.4). I lost the app when reformatting my tablet. I did the market fix, although not clearly different markets (is there a way to tell?). Anyone else able to find the app? Guess I'll try to sideload from the link above.

Missing Download buttons!

I just installed CM7 on two NC's. I am seeing something strange in the Android App store. Some of the more common apps that I have used in the past like Astro, Facebook and others do not have a download button (or any button for that matter).
If someone can explain why and what I can do to resove this problem that would be great. A side note the NC's are using two diffrent gmail accounts.

Same and I'm using one gmail account. Also it looks like I've had a kinda old version of Facebook installed for a while (1.6.1) without marker stating there was a .2 or a .3 release. I uninstalled the app and that is how I found out about there being no download button. So it might of been a problem with some of the last nightlies as well

It's a problem with new market. Try uninstalling updates in the settings for the market.

I think it is because the new market is device sensitive, our devices show up as B&N nook colors, the market thinks we are running crippled e-readers and doesn't let us download all the cool ****.
Do what koopakid08, go to your application settings > manage applications, find the market and "uninstall updates"
New market looked crap anyway.

What I did was rename MarketUpdater.apk to MarketUpdater.apk.bak by using linux on the sdcard that I'm booting cm7 off of. Not sure how to do it if you're running cm7 on the emmc.

With the help of a friend I found what I had to do so I am able to edit apps if CM7 is loaded on the emmc. I found this extremely useful so I will link the wiki that fixed my issue.

What did you fix? How?

I updated and also have no Download button. The panel that button should be on flashes white. When I uninstall updates, my old market comes back, but after I leave the market, the new one returns, with the download button. After I leave that market and return, functionality falls apart. The main page doesn't open correctly, Download button disappears, and frames become shaky. What's the deal???

The new market hates us all and laughs at our suffering.

Anyone to share his/her experiences with the best/fullest alternative apps marts? Thank you.

I simply downloaded super manager from the market then renamed market updater..
1. Open super manager
2. Enable root function option
3. Use built in file explorer in super manger to find market updater.apk.(should be in system apps...)
4. Rename. I simply renamed (.bin instead of apk...)
This will preventing market from updating...
Hope this helps all....
