This seems like a silly question, but I can't seem to find the voice recorder app on the HTC One. I see it under settings->apps->all, but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually access it. I've tried adding widgets/apps/shortcuts but it's not there.

I was wondering the same thing. Voice Recorder and Stocks can be seen in a custom launcher like Nova or Apex or an app called Control Center in the Play store. However, Stocks app is broken. This is not the case with other providers. Gotta love Verizon! lol

Well Its funny but the same problem happened with me while using my xperia.. and I used to use that application via whats app voice message as if they are not sent , they just got saved in gallery...and after a long time i didnt find it exactly where it is in phone and then I just downloaded a separate app for it.....:laugh:
I remember this problem when i had my dinc 4G I before s-off the device. I can't remember the EXACT steps to get it to show up, but i got it to show up as a shortcut. I don't have this phone YET, but i will tell you what i can remember.
1) Download ES file explorer.
2) Go into the device system/app folder and locate the HTCsound recorder apk , and try to install it. If you are not rooted it will fail. That is fine.
3) In ES file explorer go to tools - > app manager then system apps and find the htc sound recorder.
4) Long press it until it checks and then go to the menu and choose send to desktop.
This is how i got a SHORTCUT to the app on my non rooted dinc 4G.
I honestly do not know if it will work with this phone but though i throw it out to see if someone can try.
I prefer to use Easy Voice Recorder since it is capable of recording phone calls (incoming and outgoing voice) with no special setup. Not that I really need to record calls, but cool that the feature is there, unlike the built in recorder which pauses the recording when a phone call starts up

Thanks, this was super helpful. A more direct route might be to download QuickShortcutMaker, and then to search for "recorder". That brings up the HTC recorder app, and easily creates a shortcut to the home screen.

Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.
I can see the file in root explorer but I dont know how to open them.

Feel free to tell me of any I missed, or of any corrections, and I will update accordingly. I've made the list with Titanium Backup Users in mind. How you choose to remove or move them is up to you, and this is mainly just to be used as a resource. I will post any side affects from removing certain apps as I learn of them as well.

Pretty much any app that isn't the phone or contacts apk should be safe, too, I think.
(actual apps. Don't delete stuff like CertInstaller.apk or whatever. But if it shows up in your app drawer, it's generally okay to get rid of.)
The only thing I'm not sure about is the visual voicemail. It may act funny with the messages app, since there's a slider for it.
Cdrom.iso really shouldnt be removed. It can cause issues with adb and mounting usb storage. You can dissable the annoying vzw installer by dialing ##program# and hitting call. Enter six zeros for the password. Then go to feature settings and tap on cd rom and dissable it. Hit the menu button and select comit changes. Your phone will reboot and the vzw installer nag wont be there the next time you connect to your pc.

Does it matter if I delete them vs. move the APKs to another location? Would I ever need them again for anything?
Well they'll still be taking up space if you move them to another location on the phone, but they wont run or be in your app drawer. If you want to have them just in case, you could always move them to the SD card, then your computer? I can't think of any reason that you'd need them though, even if you wanted them at a later time, you could find them on the market or with a quick googling.
I just back them up and then uninstall them.

That does not fix it for me, I have all motion turned off, and still get the vlingo terms of service when I double tap home. Which I then decline every time. Very Annoying.
Same issue here. I want it to behave like Sense and display all of my homescreens (zoomed out). What does the 'home' key have to do with Voice Talk and Vlingo anyway?!
What would u like to do ???

I like the plain voice commands from android and I'd like to do what I've been doing for the last couple of years - push the headset button, say what I want and have it just happen. I'm going to play with this a while longer but I'm going to give the phone back if it doesn't work exactly like I want. It's too much money to live with like I did the Vibrant - till the guys here made it work.
I don't mind something being no removable if there's an option to use something else. If any of you know how to change the settings so the original vlingo by Samsung isn't the automatic choice, that would be greatly appreciated.
Yep checked off double tap and it still goes into voice talk

It's been gone since the first update from when the phone was released... I don't know exactly which update, but I noticed it being gone after an OTA.
One easy way if your running ICS is to install go Launcher, open app drawer, long press voice command icon, un install, Vlingo gone! Un install go Launcher. No rooting required.
HOLY SHII
This solution that GDF01 is talking about, is not only very easy, but also very awesome! I removed Voice talk and Chat and other stuff, and i ICS-froze Readers Hub and all that stuff, so now I have a fully functional and great phone, without rooting or anything! Thanks!!
Here's the stock google dialer and contacts app I pulled from my nexus 6 when i had it. It's not the motorola framework dialer and contacts, but pure google stock. They are in separate folders. I've also have a few that I've pulled from the web as well. I hate the ugly skin that lg uses, and miss the true material look from Google.
You HAVE to be rooted for these to even remotely work. Use root explorer or whatever app you use, mount rw and install as system apk (go to system>priv-app). Folder will need rwxr-xr-x permissions. Give app r-r-rw permissions. So far, contacts are working and I've gotten the google in-call ui to work by placing the apk in the lg in-call ui after renaming the original lg-ui. Can't get the dialer to install. LG skin is deeply rooted in thier framework, so it's kind of a pain. I'll keep digging into this to make some progress. In the mean time, if anyone else wants to chip in and help out, please do so.
In the link to my drive folder there will be 4 files. One of them is a flashable zip named GoogleContactsDialer (credits to whoever put this zip together. Wasn't me). Another should be the dialer in non flashable zip, and the other files are the respective standalone apks. I would suggest flashing the flashable zip, as it has the libs folder included.

**UPDATE**
Ok everyone, I have a quick second to give an update (getting up at 0430 is killing me right now lol) on things in reference to the dialer. Make sure you are using the flashable zip. The separate apks are ok, but the zip makes things easier.
Basically most hassle free method I have used to get it to be the primary dialer and contacts app is by using TB to freeze these 2 LG Dialer and Contact applications that are listed below.
*Call 4.60.79.10
*Contacts 4.56.18
I'm using KLWP and Nova for most of my homescreens. I'm linking the Google dialer apk to whatever phone KLWP icon using Nova Activities>Google Dialer>Phone(com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity; make sure you select this one). For those that use Zooper, the same method would apply.
In reference to getting the dialer icon to show up in the app drawer on its own, I'm still working on that.

Sorry guys that I've been MIA. Work and personal life have been really busy. I didn't remove the LG apk but just froze them with TB. So far the LG Contacts app doesn't override which is good, and I've set Google Contacts as my default. I'm trying True Caller but honestly don't like it. The Google dialer kicks in but it's random, and it doesn't show in my Nova app drawer. I'll get back to working on this when things slow down for me.

Like you said, it is working - mostly. I no longer see the dreaded LG dialer (yippee!) but a couple of minor anomalies remain.
On an incoming call I do not get a full scree caller id and swipe to answer as I did on the N4 device;
Like you, I had to use Nova to create the desktop icon (which is no big deal I suppose);
When I bring up the dialer I see a "Speed Dial" tab but I don't see all my favorites (starred contacts). I tried clearing cache and data for the dialer but is not showing me the same starred contacts as the Contacts app;
Other than the above it seems to work quite well.
[ EDIT ] It seems that there is a difference between the contacts storage that LG maintains and what Google Contacts/Dialer maintains. I cleared data and cache for both, the LG Dialer and the LG Contacts app - note that in my case they were both frozen so I had to use ROM Toolbox to do this - and had the system re-sync contacts with Google. All of the sudden ALL my favorites show up as expected and, incoming caller Id is now displaying as it did on the old Nexus 4. Yippee! Apparently some minor issues can be corrected by reinitializing the contacts database on the phone.

Did you start out with a clean, well working system or could it have remnants of previous attempts to install a dialer? Most of my troubles came from the fact that I missed to clean somethng up from a previous attempt.
Essentially, I did not do much different from the OP. Starting with a clean system (I backup frequently with TWRP when I experiment with new things!) I flashed the zip file, rebooted, created the desktop icon for phone, froze the 2 LG modules with TiBu. I also copied the Google Dialer apk to the LGInCallUI folder in priv-app and renamed (but not deleted) the LG version which did not seem to make any difference to usage (I was hoping for a full screen caller Id).
As noted above, it seems to be working quite nicely with the 3 1 caveats I listed.
