Using native sms app with Google Voice - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone know how to use the native messaging app through google voice? I know there is an option within the app but it uses different phone numbers for the incoming so when you respond it will know you its going to.
What I am looking for is something that will full integrate, using my contacts phone numbers when they message me. Also when i start a thread from within the messaging app i want it to go through google voice. I found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&hl=en
But is that the only way to make it happen? Thanks!

Same.. I used to use that all the time but now I'm on an unlimited plan.

If you're rooted, I've found that this app works perfectly for me on the Nexus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vintegration.free&feature=more_from_developer
Disclaimer: I've got the paid version. This is the free one and I don't know what the difference is haha.

I just loaded the free one, cant tell the difference between the paid and the free. This app got a lot of bad reviews so i was skeptical... seems to be working ok. How is your battery life with it?
Also I am on an unlimited plan as well, i just want to start giving out my GV number and not my regular number anymore... Time for a change

I haven't had any trouble with battery life. There was an older version of the app that sucked down battery, but since it's been updated I haven't noticed any appreciable decrease.

The free version is apparently a trial version.

[App] Root Call Blocker needs testing

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app's home is here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
We have had multiple reports that blocking is not working sometimes on American phones, so we need some nice people to do some testing.
You can use the Groups function of the Lite version to do the testing - it gives you almost everything youd want from the app anyway.
Please post comments here, but also use the "Write to us" dialog in settings.
ill test it can u send me the apk to [email protected]
Whoa there, lets start by reading the op shall we?
Is this like Mr. Blocker? I use my phone for around 80% of ps3 gaming. and I like forwarding everything to voicemail and Google voice messaging does this have that option

Good question. I am curios as well. Also .... off topic.... how are you using your phone for ps3 gaming?

Voicemail is a carrier, not phone-based service. If you use VM, then VM is what you get when you use the appropriate reject method.
But I'm curious why you would ask me instead of trying it yourself.

Back to topic please
This is great!
Enjoy... and remember, an update is always just around the corner! If you have problems, use "Write to us" in Settings! Dont be shy!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well
Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!
Im not kidding people - testing is what its all about!
Me, and my girlfriend both use it. The only problem I've had, is it lets picture messages through. Other than that, it works great.
Sent from my DInc 2
It doesn't let them through. It has nothing to do with them at all!
Lol - this is a great bit of software, worth the money!
It blocks messages too? So I would say it does.

I switched to Friendcaster a while ago cause the Facebook app would always run in the background and on startup (yes yes, I understand that doesn't matter, but I still don't like it under Running apps even with all refresh/notifications off). Does this super revamp version still run on startup and in the background all the time?
Update is out. Installing now.

Menu Button is there now. Nothing else pops out (aside from the expected special advances). No sync for contacts as far as I can tell
Nope, no contact sync.

Yeah, in the settings theres a section for "other settings" i think that's where the contact sync usually appears for other devices but no go for galaxy nexus a little disappointing
No contact sync, which is a bit disappointing, but I've managed with Google Contact sync periodically. The new app is beautiful though, it's exactly what I had hoped a facebook app would be. I'm very happy with it!
I couldn't care less about contact sync. I don't need several hundred people in my address book when I really only regularly call a few people.
I suppose others carry on conversations with hundreds of people on a regular basis? I'm not one of them...it's just clutter, IMO.
Can you go now to the settings menu and configure notification?
I want to turn the notification off ... Possible?

[Q] Is there a way to get Facebook Sync to work?

I really rely on Facebook contacts sync as it has pretty much all the numbers i need. I know there are apps like Friendcaster and Haxsync but those do not sync the numbers with the profiles. My GNex is running stock 4.1 right now and it is rooted I believe, since i rooted it myself last night (i think i did it right). Is there something that will allow me to Facebook Sync my contacts and still keep the standard OS without noticing anything changed. Or i guess in other words, how can i quickly enable it so that it can sync and then delete whatever i put to enable it to do that so that I am back at square one just this time with all my contacts I would backup and put on my computer. Using a standard GSM Gnex on the latest Jellybean update, I hope I was descriptive as possible. Also I am a noob so please don't go too crazy on me, I've never actually done any of this stuff but i just want my contacts so i can use the stock until im comfortable doing more of this

Download Friendcaster from the app store, just run it side by side with the official FB app. I did that for my fiance, even though friendcaster is more robust.
She loves it now though because she can finally get realtime push notifications from facebook

I don't think you guys are understanding what I am saying lol, I understand these apps give you the contacts. This is what I want yes, but what they lack is adding the contacts WITH the phone NUMBERS. I want the the phone numbers. I am trying to get the phone numbers of with the contacts lol am i clear yet :crying:
Exactly. I want numbers too. I have like 5 people synced to my Google account. The rest are on Facebook. Friend caster only syncs them to my "people" app. If I go to the phone app the numbers aren't there. When I open the menu and select "choose contacts to display" I select friend caster and it says 0 contacts. Looking for contacts phone numbers not just names and HD photos...

Custom ROMs usually have Facebook sync working fine, you could also search how to modify a stock google image to allow facebook sync, if I'm not mistaken you'll need root and busybox, you will need to edit a text file and run a script that will update a database in your phone... Unfortunately I don't have this information handy, so, you'll need to search for it if you want to modify stock rom (remember, you need root), or, you can always use custom roms that do not have this limitation.

I've flashed about 2 ROMs now that claimed to allow the facebook sync and they haven't worked lol can anyone direct me to one that actually does work and they know first hand? I'm going to look into that busybox editting text file business now in the meantime.
Lol Hino, what ROMs have that actually working? JB ROMs at least. I've tried just about all of them and I didn't have numbers from Facebook on any one of them.

Do you think you could link me to the ROMs that actually have the Facebook sync working properly, or link me to a thread that walks me through how to use busybox to bypass this stuff. I've honestly tried everything and searched since you posted this and nothing I can find works.
I don't think there is any that works the way you want, sorry. Is a fb issue. If that is a must have for you, maybe you will have to try another phone.... a shame

You tried to export them? There must be a way once you do get the contacts synced to save them into the phone and not just under the synced profile that way you can export them. I tried to export them off my other phone running gingerbread and put them onto my Gnex but it was a no-go the file i extracted had 0 bytes for some reason it just didn't want to export the contacts at all.. Was hoping it was still possible but I suppose its not
This is from Facebook site. Only option I found for you, would be to export them and add them to Gmail.

I've never done that before. I found a Youtube video that seems to outline the process. Does this seem correct?
Find apk in Root Explorer
Copy file
Try pasting it into /system/media
If not, choose "Mount R/W" button so it says "Mount R/O"
Paste again
Hold down on APK and choose permissions
Check:
Owner - Read write
Group - Read
Otheres - Read
Uncheck rest
Click OK
File should show "rw-r-r" under the name
Move this file to system/app
Click back once and click "Mount R/O" at top right
Reboot

The reason the visual voicemail does not work on Lifeless is because some of the Sprint bloat that is removed is needed by visual voicemail. If you install one of the stock V9 rooted (i recommend the one by b-reezy) your visual voicemail will work. As long as you are on Lifeless or Imperium you can use Google Voice as a work-around. At least this has been my findings after trying several other work-arounds with no luck. I too am on Lifeless V9 ... I love the ROM so I am willing to deal with the lack of visual voicemail. It has been my experience that it's interpretations of what the caller actually said were not too accurate anyways. Hope this helps.

Just download the Google Voice app from the Play Store and go through the set-up, it will make your voicemail notifications and stuff with voicemail work. Sprint has some type of agreement with Google voice and u can assign your mobile number as your google voice number, but this can cause some undesirable effects for some users (mainly caller ID issues with your outgoing texts and calls) I eventually uninstalled Voice and disabled my mobile number from being my voice number. It is easy to set up, u can also go to www.google.com/voice and set up some other options there from your PC.

Yea I had to uninstall it as well. I wasn't able to send or receive calls. Even after uninstalling it I still had to go onto a computer to take my number off the account. I tried setting it up later without using my number but i didn't see where it gave me an option of assigning me a number.

[Q] Does anyone use any of HTC's stock apps?

I recently converted back to Android with the M8 (went from OG Droid to iPhone 4S and now back again) and I'm just looking at the huge amount of apps HTC includes. Does anyone prefer the stock app to other Google Play options?
Also, would anyone recommend the HTC Backup? I looked at it, but I have no experience with it; I do know it's better than Verizon's "cloud" though!
If Google has an alternarive, I'll use it. They're a better software company.

Starting with Kitkat, message store is central and handled by the OS, not the individual apps ... thats why you can only have one single app for messaging enabled at any one time in 4.4
