Have you tried it? What was the outcome?
Is there something this app does that Vlingo won't?

Hell if I know, but since you brought it up.........Just downloaded VLingo, Sweet. I'm at work and cannot really get down until I get some time alone, but I have a feeling this will bring new life to Photon!

I've installed it by putting the apk into system/app changing the permissions, rebooting, and then installing with root browser from system/app. The thing is that it says that there's some kind of network issue, but I read somewhere that its because Samsung blocked its servers. And they say that there's a lot of stuff it can do that vlingo can't plus it talks back like siri

The network error issue is because it looks for I9300 string, which is specific to Galaxy S3 (they are not making it easy for everyone)
Here is the link to the modified apk which already modify within the apk to pass the I9300 back to vlingo network: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
download the "Modified APK" to your SD card then uninstall the previous version before install the new one.
Just install like any other normal apk. Hope this work for you

Be sure to let us know if it works!

i tried it once...after reading a lot...i downloaded the signed apk file and changed permission and then try changing your build.prop
change the product and device to GT-I9300
thats capital i at GT-I9300
then u must be on ics rom

[Q] Droid 3 launcher on Atrix?

Is there anyway to get the Droid 3 launcher working on the atrix? I have the apk from the system dump but when I go to install it, the installation fails :\
I attached the apk.
Place it /system/app via root explorer. Then set the permissions to rw-r--r--.
Let us know how it goes!
it still doesn't install.
Already posted this in themes in apps search is your friend

You're not supposed to install. You place it in there, and reboot. If you're able to get into your new launcher, it worked. If you didn't, well that's it :/

well if you saw it you should have continued not to be rude but its better to continue on a thread similar to urs rather than making one and i actually said i was trying to port it over so your inaccurate if you believe it was just comparisons.

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Just found an easier way : I moved vending app from /data/app to sd, pushed it back, changed permissions and rebooted and everything is fine. Thanks for taking time to answer

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

[Q] Deleting market

Is there a way to temporarily disable the market, or delete it, on a P7500 running 3.2 update? Tried deleting it through root explorer but it's there after a reboot and droidwall doesn't work either.
Have you tried to freeze it with Titanium?
I can only freeze it with donate version. I have the free one
delete the data for it, fc it, then delete vending.apk and market.apk (actually rename the .apk to .old or something...make sure you rename vending and market.
just a question...why?

I don't think so... it could consult with Vending.apk about the license status, which would fail because there would be no account present. Removing it would prevent it from saying not authorized -- though the API for it might stop it anyway if it can't find the market.

I'm willing to bet not at first. I believe Verizon will keep it off so that it can substitute its own program that does the same thing. Then after a bit the devs will get it working for everyone to use.
I'm pretty bummed the device's for VZ are still shipping without Wallet...The previous "excuse" from VZ was that
...because Google Wallet did "not simply access the operating system and basic hardware of our phones like thousands of other applications," the service "needs to be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones"....

I can't see how that excuse given last December is still valid now...If i was a customer of VZ id be pitching a fit...only reason why i somewhat care is b/c the wife is. lol
btw has anyone tried the method mentioned here to get it on their device? Have to use the default android browser to do it evidently, so no Dolphin, or Chrome even...
http://www.androidauthority.com/google-wallet-for-verizon-galaxy-nexus-50922/
...How to Install Google Wallet on Your Verizon Galaxy Nexus Manually:
1. Open browser on your phone and open http://market.android.com
2. Look for Google Wallet
3. If the browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. You should stay in the browser.
4. Once results come back, tap on the icon for Google Wallet.
5. Tap the Install button before signing into your Google account.
Remember, you are doing this from the browser and not from the Market app.
6. When you have already signed in, you will be redirected to the Market page in the browser.
7. Don’t be surprised to discover that you don’t have an option to install the app since it doesn’t support Verizon.
8. Tap the back button so you are prompted for the Browser or Market again. This time, choose the Market.
This will let you open the Google Wallet page through the Android Market. You will get the option to install already.

The method doesn't work, but there appears to be an .apk somewhere that can be installed.
I installed it successfully on my DINC4GLTE. It just does not have the permissions to allow use yet.

I tried the Nexus method (or very similar) on the nexus I had for a week before the Inc4 was released and it worked. Haven't tried it on my Inc4 but it's on my list... I'm kind of waiting for JB ROM or CM10 before I start messing around too much. It was sure nice (JB) for the two days I ran it on the Nexus!
Interesting article about Wallet working on our device:

Got it to install using the apk, but still getting the "not supported on your carrier" message, then it closes. Anyone with root try the build prop mod?

Ignore this post...had an idea...was worthless, like my life atm.
For those that are rooted you can try the version from Modaco. http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-15-r75-v6/
It will open but gives me an "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release keys)" error. I'm still researching this one.

Stock browser

Is there any way someone could pull the stock browser.apk so I can side load it on my S5. The new s5 comes with chrome but I kinda like the S4 stock browser for certain things. I know there is at least one other member with an s5 that would like it too. I searched Google but couldn't find it.

Are you rooted? I haven't looked to see if there is root for the S5 yet... if so, you'd have to push it to system and change permissions to rw r r with a root explorer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking might work but there isn't root for the Verizon s5 yet. And I'm not sure if I could get away with rooting with Knox and being on the edge program. I don't think they would like the Knox counter marked when they get the phone back. I'll play with other Web browsers till I find one that suits my needs. Thanks for your help

My only problem with chrome is that it has problems with embedded youtube videos. Sometimes there isn't sound and other times the sound comes out of the ear speaker instead of the back. If it wasn't for that I would be happy with chrome
