I finally got GV Integration Free onto my N7(WiFi only model). Here's how to do it. First you'll need a GV account and the GV app on your N7. Then follow the instructions below.
1. Download and install "MMS.apk"
2. Download and install "com.mdrtools.app.gvintegration.free-1.apk"
3. Open GV Integration Free and enter GV email and password
4. Select "Enable Integration" and wait for device to reboot
And that's it.
Enjoy!
EDIT: GoSMS also works with GV Integration.

It allows you to use the native messaging app or GoSMS to send text messages via Google Voice. I personally didn't like using the GV app to text and since you can't install this via the Play Store on a N7(WiFi model) I decided to share the apks for those who wanted to use something other than the GV app to send/receive texts.
This is awesome
GV doesn't group all the messages from one sender into a single thread and the interface is not attractive to me. I use GO Sms, and this allows me to use my favorite SMS application on my tablet. Thank you very much.
How did you extract the apk?
Great work! I have been using the apk you posted and have purchased the paid app on my S3.
On the Nexus 7 tablet, I keep getting the nag screen each time I get a new message, and I can't upgrade because the app is not compatible with the device in the market.
So my options (as far as my limited thinking allows) are:
1. Figure out a way to disable the nag alerts.
2. Extract the paid apk from my S3 and install it on my N7
How did you extract the apk? From Googling, it is supposed to be in /data/app/com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration-1.apk and I should be able to pull it using adb, However, the apk does not exist in /data/app/ on my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

You could do a Titanium Backup of the app on your S3 and transfer that backup to the Nexus 7. Then restore the app only (no data) on your Nexus 7.

I had to use this attached MMS apk (see link below) on cm10 stable with a GV integration apk that I can't upload here because its a paid application. The GV integration APK in the OP saying it was pirated.

Not sure why it is saying it's pirated, it's the free version that I backed up on my GNex and transferred to my N7. So if you have the problem of the app saying it's pirated and have a device compatible with GV Integration then you can back it up with TiBu and transfer the apk to the TiBu folder on the root of the "sdcard" and restore it through TiBu.
Could someone please post a screenshot of what it looks like?

1) does the galaxy not use the default android sms app
2) try deleting data in sms storage (or messeges or whatever its called) in manage applications.
3) if you bought the app legally and not just paid for a membership to a warez site, you can contact the dev for the latest versions.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum.
I've been using a Galaxy Nexus for a while (unrooted).
Recently, switched to a verizon Galaxy S3. The phone is unrooted and I hope to keep it that way.
One complaint I have with the S3 is the font size of the email inbox listings.
I really love to use more of that screen real estate to display more text like the client on the Nexus.
I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760741 and few other threads here using
the Search function about alternatives and possible solutions.
I also found this very helpful thread by AndroidFan4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308
But the instruction replaces the stock S3 email client and the phone needs to be rooted.
Is it possible for me to install the ICS Nexus email client like an app while keeping the original S3 email client?
Is it possible for me to do above while unrooted?
Any possible downside of doing above?
Thank you all... this is my first post and I hope I did it in the right place.
No it replaces it.
What exactly is it you want? I cant understand how you're describing the issue. Ans what exactly did you want to keep that the google version doesnt have?

Thanks for replying....
In short... I'm hoping to install/run the email client from Nexus/ICS as an installed app (is that possible?)
Maybe even running it off inside the /sdcard folder?
I'm just hoping that by doing that... I won't have to have my S3 rooted and I dont mind keeping the S3's native email client around.
When you try to install it it says its a system app and it will replace. I'm not sure what would happen if you're not rooted. But you could easily swap it if you were rooted.
What is it about rooting that puts you off?

It's a company phone... and technically not my property...
It will replace the system app? It will do that even if the names are different?
So if I renamed the Nexus email app to EmailNexus.apk or something..would it still replace the SecEmail.apk?

You can rename it what you want. The system does not take account of what the apk is actually called.
For example:
SecEmail.apk - Samsung modified email
Email.apk - Android standard email
Both are known to system as "Email 4.0".
Like on a windows computer, you can rename dropbox.exe to sponge.exe but when its installed, windows still knows its dropbox. If you had dropbox installed and tried to install sponge.exe, it would want to modify, repair or remove it as it is already installed.
Hope that helps you clarify.
There are 3rd party email clients in the play store. Maybe they would be worth checking out.

Make sure you use an ICS version of Google voice and not an older one. I'm order to sync with gvoice on ICS with a ROM that wont have a registered number you would had have to have already synced with a number before in the past. It wont verify it with just your Google account like it can on a GB version.

I upgraded from an ics rom to a jb rom. I didn't have a problem with Google Voice not working though. I just downloaded the app from the playstore and logged into my account. I'd say make sure you have the right gapps flashed for your rom and check the voice settings on your computer or something to make sure your phone that you are using is showing up there.
For me Voice is pretty buggy and slow; I don't particularly like it. So there are probably other/better alternatives out there if this doesn't work for you

Yes there is a simple fix for this download zip flile wwwmediafirecom/download/utzkqffj8bbk0cm/Add_communications_to_Uberdriod_rc3_and_add_gvoice_and_make_it_work.zip
unzip to sd card and install all apks inside "luckypatcher and romtoolbox lite" is optional i used them to install them as system apps but u dont have to.
chromebookmarks has to be installed and the mms and phone and contacts and contact storage and talk and telerphony apks must be installed for gvoice to work then u can use romtoolbox to convert them to system app if u wish so they dont talk up space on sd or exsd.
if gvoice still fc after these steps go to setting then apps then go to google voice then clear cache and data then restart app but still one problem not a big one but all ur contacts must be backed up to sd card easy enoght to do that use current andriod device go to contact app menu select import/export and choose export to sd and then transfer the .vcf file to ur evo and then go to the contact app i just provided u in this post for ur evo and click menu import/export and choose import this time and ur good to go should automaticly find ur vcard '.vcf' file on sd.
this should work for u if u have any questions feel free to ask...
and to the responce to others who answered this question b4 me this issue has nothing to do with witch version of gvoice is installed there no way to download wrong version from google play u can only download the version for ur os witch in this case is andriod 4.0.4 ubersonic rom
and u have to register a number with gvoice apon signup so that absolutely makes no sense.
this issue is caused by the fact all communication apps were removed so when gvoice go to sync up messages and voicemails it also looks for new messages in stock mms apk and stock phone apk and voicemaill apk and uses telephony apk also so when it goes to sync u will get a force close if all apps i provided are not installed. Your Welcome
{NOTE} mms apk will still force close there is no way around this no cell signal and sprint service files are not present is the cause
Ubersonic RC3 Google Voice fix
Here's how I got Google Voice working on this rom:
1.) Download Ubersonic Rom and copy zip to desktop.
2.) Download Ace ICS v2 rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777815 and put on desktop
3.) Download 4.0.4 Gapps package 20120429 from http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps# and put on desktop
4.) Using Winrar (associated with .zip files) open all three zips and place so you can access each one.
5.) Select the following apk's from the Ace Rom App folder and drag into the Ubersonic Rom App folder:
Contacts.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
MMS.apk
TelephonyProvider.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
VPNDialog.apk
6.) Select the following apk's from the Gapps App folder and drag into the Ubersonic Rom App folder:
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleTTS.apk
Talk.apk
7.) Copy the Ubersonic Rom to your SD card and flash as usual. If all goes as it did for me, Google voice should run without crashing. Now all you have to do is install your preferred app to make and receive free Wifi calls and texts. (GrooVe IP, TalkaTone etc.)
I really love the concept of this rom. It resurrected my retired HTC EVO 4G and gave it a second life. I did add a few apps from the PlayStore to it to make it a little better (in my opinion) which I'll list for you in case any of you are interested.

This was covered previously. Follow the instructions about the emoji part, and you should be good to go dude.
Go SMS works fine. I also have a stock SMS app that allows for iPhone compatibility if you don't want any other app besides stock. Both work fine, but you have to enable group messaging in go SMS.
Flash this in twrp and go into your settings afterwords to make sure group messaging is enabled for your stock messaging.

If you use Google voice, that can cause an issue as well because it can't process the emojis as the text gets routed through Google

I'm using MightyText, no apparent issues here. I have it setup on my Nexus 4, Tab Pro 12.2 and Windows 7 PC at work.
Are you trying to text directly from your tablet? You can set up a Google voice account and use that number for texting. Otherwise you need to set up an app that will transfer the text from your phone to your tablet via wifi or bluetooth. I have used mighty text on my computer, but an currently using Tablet Talk.

You can also use hangouts for this. But, you might want to complement it with the Xposed module XHangouts, for better mms handling.

I'm running stock Samsung ROM on my Tab Pro 12.2, and no I didn't have any problems. What ROM are you running? In the past I ran into app incompatibility issues on my HP TouchPad due to what a custom ROM would have for "ro.product.model" or "ro.product.name" in the /system/build.prop file. At times I had to tweak it to report another model to get certain apps to install.
Or, you can download it on another tablet, extract the apk and sideload. Keep in mind the Tablet and Phone versions of MightyText are different apps.

Personally I haven't tried it, but reading the explanations in the XHangouts OP it is supposed to be one of the best. Another alternative is to use Hangouts for GV/messaging using your GV number.

Ugh, the forum won't me post links cause I'm a new user, but there's two separate apps for MightyText, one for your phone and one for your tablet. You probably downloaded the wrong one onto your tablet. Just search "MightText Tablet" in the play store.

Hi,
You should definitely give this new app called SVS a try. Download it from shareviasms.com or:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svs.shareviasms
Properly known as Share Via SMS , is a friendly sms app built using material design. It lets you share images and audio over standard sms, without using the internet.
SVS its a great tool for who don't have access to the internet or can't afford data packages.
sync sms works great for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms&hl=en
