Looking for apks

Hey fellas, I'm looking for the apks for Visual Voicemail, My Verizon, and VZW Tones. They aren't showing up in the market, I'm using Aloysius. Thanks

If you have not tried the market fix yet try it. Go to the market and look for eris market fix, it make take some time after you do it but it should start working. Then you can have all your apps back, if this does not work for you send me a pm and i will get them for you.
this will help you find if you have full market or not, To test: search for 'us bank' in the market, if only 2 apps show up, your not getting the full market.

Like I said in the PM, I am able to look up all the apps I have looked for except the Verizon ones. Thanks

Aloysius is a Hero based ROM and should be reporting you as a Sprint user to the Market. You can't find those apps because Verizon doesn't offer them to non-Verizon customers.
That said; jcase's Market Fix should cause you to be reported as a MotoDroid, a Verizon phone, which should allow you to get those apps.

Marisa, I figured that to be the problem
Eris market fix isnt working for me though

I had created updates for two of these apps. They're flashable through Recovery;
Verizon Visual Voicemail
My Verizon
I made them for ZenEXP-Eris users who couldn't see Verizon apps. However, I've fixed the market since then and now they can see the Verizon tab and all Verizon apps.
Anyone who needs these two apps installed is more than welcome to download them above.

Google's new messaging app Hangouts

Any one have luck updating gtalk to hangouts, I suppose if your rooted it's probably simple but if your unrooted as I am than the talk app is a system app bloatware and hasn't updated to hangouts

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.

You can do it via the play store through the webpage.

Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk

Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.

installed from web to device and rebooted phone

I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

This is how I did it. Still had a shortcut for Talk in one of my homescreen folders, but just deleted it and replaced it with Hangouts. I like it.

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.

I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.

Play Store wont connect

We've all had issues with the play store over the years, but this one has me stumped.
Rooted phone, but that's all
everything was fine for almost a month, but a few days ago, i noticed I was no longer able to connect to the play store.
I did all the "normal" things, cleared caches/data from play store, google framework, uninstalled my gmail account and re-installed it, downgraded play store, upgraded play store, tried the hosts file trick, even did a factory reset, and still no play store connection.
Even called Tmobile tech support, and got to the tier 2 folks, and they couldn't get it to work either, so they are sending a new phone tuesday.
Until then, I want to keep on trying to get this to work; I haven't unrooted with Supersu yet, figuring that rooting had nothing to do with this, since it worked fine for a month, rooted, but does anyone else have any suggestions?
Its weird; when I open the play store app, and type something into the search box, it will actually take me to the page where that app is, but when I try to download/install it, I get the dreaded error 927; when I back out, and just try to open the play store app, It doesnt connect at all.
When I try to send files to my phone from my computer, it shows "my apps", but when I try to send them to my phone, I get an error on my phone saying "failed to install" app..
Any thing else I might have not tried with this?
Thanks!

You dont have any battery saver apps going do you...because sometimes they can mess with network settings. Also that error 927 is a network error so you may want to start sniffing around your network settings. I have the tmobile flex so let me know if you need any settings.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

no, no battery saver apps running, and I went through a couple of complete factory resets on my own, and with tier 2 from TMobile, plus they re-provisioned my phone, and even that didn't help.
Whats so weird is that when I type an app name in the search bar in the play store app, it takes me to the page where that app, and others like it get listed.
If I click on one of the app, it takes me to the download page of that app, and once I click on "Install", the progress bar starts, and it looks like its going to download/install, but then it throws the dreaded error 927 flag.
Trust me, I've been modding phones for many many years, and this play store stuff has happened to me before, but never this stubborn as to make me have to replace the phone.

Yeah that is weird. Well if you do figure it out post the solution. I would love to put the solution in the memory bank just in case.

your idea of creating a new gmail account works!
Only problem of course is all the things I have purchased originally through the play store wont be accessible to me under a different identity..
Can you "combine" identities on the play store, or add others to your account so you can share stuff?
Thanks for the suggestion about creating a new identity! :good:
I'm still gonna try the replacement phone that t-mobile is sending, to see if that one works normally..

I'm glad it worked for you. I don't think you can share apps... Although that would be awesome!!

You can share apps in the sense that when you open up the playstore you can choose which account to use in settings and then download all your apps. I do that for all my daughters androids. Log
both in turn everything off from my Gmail account so that she doesn't get my email etcetera, and then log into the playstore using my Gmail when she needs paid apps and so on.
EDIT: Right after I posted this I rethought the idea and realized that may not work for you because your whole problem is that YOUR Gmail acct is the one acting up throwing the 927 error

yep, I think I did the same thing in my Samsung Days..was so easy to wipe and restore...seems like a long time ago...
Fortunately, T-Mobile is sending a replacement phone today, so I dont have to deal with that..
If we had a custom recovery, it would be a non issue.....soon, hopefully!

just an FYI...
A new phone did NOT fix this; the only thing that works, is setting up a new gmail account, and using that to get apps in the play store..
There has to be a way to fix this; I wasn't happy re-buying all my paid apps again...

T Mobile RCS messaging

Is anyone able to get RCS messaging working on their T-Mobile Note 8? Read receipts, see other person responding etc?

I only get RCS when using Samsung stock Messages app. Otherwise, like with Textra, it's just the usual text message.

I'm not even getting it on stock Samsung app. I can't send group messages either, it's really odd

what changed? what did you do to rectify ?

The issue was hat I had ported my number over from Verizon and it wasn't fully ported over. I called the support and they finalized porting the number. Once that was fixed it worked

So a couple of questions.
Would you see RCS working in Android messages too? I dont use the Samsung version but assume it should all work given JIBE and RCS are google initiatives.
Does it work on Verizon? Does it work cross carrier right now?
Does it interoperate to iMessage at all? What about IOS users
Thanks, understanding RCS is not easy it seems given all the hrudles.

So far no go for me. I have the unlocked version. No RCS.

Does not work on Verizon. At least for the person with the note 8. If you are on TMobile and you send message to another TMobile user on a Samsung device it definitely works

Has anybody been able to disable RCS for Samsung Messages? I'd like to be able to use Pushbullet to send/receive SMS, but messages sent through RCS don't sync on Pushbullet. There don't appear to be any setting for Advanced Messaging or VoLTE anywhere, so the normal ways of disabling this don't seem to be available.

Works for me

TMO Messaging APK?
I want the Chat settings, read receipts, etc from the TMO messaging app.
Couldn't I just install the default messaging APK from a TMO note8 on my unlocked version?
Does anyone have that APK?
I had these features on my Verizon Note7 that I flashed to T-Mobile.
Thanks!

oddly enough this is working just fine on my N950N with T-Mobile CSC patch. I didn't even know what it was until finding this thread! Thanks!

anything labeled sprint you can long press on and uninstall, or within apps. if it doesn't have an uninstall option, ignore it.

Hi, thanks. I'd already on the same day of receiving the Sprint bloatware deleted all the apps that I could via uninstall. However, I'd like to know which other apps can be safely disabled, and more importantly are there any services or packages that don't use the words "Sprint" that may not be immediately visible to disable.

look in apps, do you see anything called sprint app pack or appcloud NOT SAMSUNG CLOUD. do you see appstack in apps. rid app pack or appstack. thats a good point to relax after that. do not DISABLE any other sprint app that only has disable or enable. also lookout can be disabled along with fb instagram and messenger. NOT the message app.

These are all packages and process with the word Sprint in them. Anything that doesn't have the word Sprint in them that I should be looking for.? I did see lookout bloat which I've already disabled.
