VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.

Good post. Good idea.

My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?

This is great, and I'ma let you finish.... but where's the Hulu+? #kanyeshrug

You should be able to download it from the market if you're stock but the thread title says "for GB"

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Not on the market for T-Bolt, and sorry...I missed the GB in the thread title (linked here from another thread).
At the risk of being accused of threadjacking, somebody saw my post and sent me a link for a MyVerizon app that works on a stock T-Bolt. (Thanks Zinsko!) So in case somebody makes the same mistake as me and wants the same answer, It's here

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.

Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?

Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.

All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

Won't install or won't run?

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero

When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

[GUIDE] Install Google Wallet on any Device and ALL Countries

******THIS IS FOR THE NEWEST GOOGLE WALLET (1.5-R79-v5), BUT THE METHOD IS THE SAME, JUST LINKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED******
******ALL CREDIT GOES TO b-reezy FOR HIS POST!******
EDIT August 8, 2012: The Guide has been edited for the new Google Wallet (Wallet-in-the Cloud, 1.5-R75-v6), this guide will hopefully (I'll try my best!) continue to update as Google Wallet updates
EDIT September 19, 2012: This Guide has been updated (links, etc.) for the latest Google Wallet, 1.5-R79-v5.
DON'T LIKE READING? WATCH MY SHORT VIDEO: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HtUBw4dCaNo[/B]
DIRECT DOWNLOAD THE LATEST GOOGLE WALLET VERSION HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1893059&stc=1&d=1366300473
*Note: This guide must be used at your OWN risk, although it has safely worked fine on different devices, I cannot guarantee this will work for you 100%*​
*Please note: The supplied APK may have issues/errors, so please make sure to reset Google Wallet through the app itself (NOT the Settings app!) and then delete to clear the chance of any errors!*
I have typed up this guide from all the information I have gathered and I credit all those who I have gathered my info from, thank you contributors. Anyway, here is a quick and easy tutorial on installing Google Wallet on ALL devices with NFC in ALL countries, but it requires root, so I have supplied a very easy tutorial down below on root your Device. If you're already rooted then just move the files accordingly.
1) Have root, here are some recommended easy tutorials:
Root Method (always Up-to-date): http://goo.gl/r4GSZ
---------------------------------
2) Grab all the necessary files and put them anywhere on your phone (just remember where you put it, you'll need them later!) and here are the links, again, all credit goes to the original uploaders:
XDA Thread for the Gingerbread Method (Nexus S) - http://goo.gl/1uNIi
XDA for Google Wallet Patched APK for 4.x+ (may work for older updates) - http://d-h.st/VZi
If none of those Google Wallet files don't work, try this.
***Nexus S Gingerbread users WILL need the "NFC Fix" file from the XDA thread right above here). Also, ONLY 4.x+ user should continue with the rest of this tutorial, use the XDA Method link above to install on Gingerbread!***​---------------------------------
3) [*REMEMBER*]: ONLY 4.x+ user should continue, 2.3 users should use the XDA Method link above] Use a root browser like "Root Browser Lite" (http://goo.gl/5XSB6) to transfer the files. Move the patched APK (found above) to the following TWO (2) locations (the same file, copied to TWO (2) locations):
[root]/data/app
and
[root]/system/app
---------------------------------
4) Now, change the permissions of the file in BOTH LOCATIONS to: xx-x--x-- A.K.A. rw-r--r--
---------------------------------
F.A.Q.
I can't find Google Wallet in the app drawer!
You need to defrost the Patched apk with Titanium Backup, but unfortunately you have to do it every reboot, but hey, it's a small price to pay for have Wallet in other countries!
To activate Google Prepaid Cards if they're still not working:
Using a file explorer (Like Root Browser Lite) Go to [root]/system/build.prop (the file)
---------------------------------
Find the lines that say:
ro.product.device
ro.product.name
---------------------------------
Change both of those lines to: htc_jewel and save.
---------------------------------
Reboot your phone, and try to activate prepaid card again. (Thanks to Roscopcoletrain, jayjay3333 and guitaristgba247 for the answer!)
OR
If you have a phone with a broken IMEI code, you won't be able to use Google Wallet on that phone, unfortunately.
How do users outside of the USA top up?
Visit the following sites here to get your prepaid card:
http://www.buyfrompowerseller.com/unblock-us-prepaid-card/ (Verified, safe, tested by me)
http://luckygiftcard.com/products.php?product=TrusstPay-Virtual-Visa
http://www.fortune51.com/aff/products/details/11/10-Preloaded-Virtual-Credit-Card-Reloadable
You may receive an e-mail with a link to register the card to a USA Address, make sure it's in a state like Delaware (any address in there, for example), because there is no state tax. If you'd like, you can even add it as it's own card itself rather than topping it up on the Google Card
OR
You can buy a Vanilla Prepaid MasterCard or Visa Prepaid Card and register with a USA address, then, go to the Google Wallet website, sign in, and add the card from there. Go to your phone, open Wallet, and match the information you entered online. You should now be able to use your card error-free!
How do I register my card with a USA Address?
Simply go to this website here and enter the information. The website is safe, I have tested it. When registering the card with a USA address, make sure you use a Delaware or Oregon address, as those states don't have state tax. I'm not going to post an address here, as I don't want to get sued, but a quick Google Maps search should give something!
The app is staying at the account setup up screen and just attempts endlessly to activate my Google account!
This is because phones like the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S2 phones are missing the secure library files needed to run Google Wallet, it stays stuck on the activating account screen, this has been test and confirmed, sorry! Hopefully in the future this is solved! (^^^If you're running CyanogenMod 10, try the solution above^^^)
100% Tested ROMs and Phones:
ROMs
Stock OTA Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus Rom

*you do NOT "install" the app, you simply move the apk to two locations* Did you guys both move the stock one to another folder? Put the PATCHED apk in BOTH locations (/system/app AND /data/app)? Did you also set permissions for the apk in BOTH file locations? Finally, did you guys remove the data from the stock Wallet app (if you had the stock one installed prior) and then uninstall it or move the apk? Make sure that you AT LEAST put the apk in /system/app. Good luck you two, best of luck.

thnx for the response dude , I did push the apk to both locations and reset my phone didnt show up in app drawer for me if i can figure it out will let you know im on CM10 if that helps anyone

I think it does have to do with CM10, its still in Alpha, so bugs and stuff are a big factor. Then again, I'm no super-developer, so I can't be sure. I'm running stock rooted 4.1.1 Jelly Bean...

Unfortunately no, because the parts of the phone that you have to access are not accessible without superuser permissions. But I'm assuming you are on ICS or JB so you can check out an easy tutorial in my post on page one. Best of luck!

Well, if you can access your previous Google Wallet from a nandroid backup you can fix it, but in unfortunately you cannot because you HAVE TO reset Google Wallet from the app and then move on to install it some other time. I'm sorry.

Don't forget you will need to do this after EVERY reboot. Annoying but for a working Wallet in Canada I can't complain. Might as well defrost Google Sound Search while your there, although we can't buy the music.
What is the easiest method to add funds to the Google card? On the new app it shows my current credit but wants a US address. I don't want to lie and mess that all up.

Here in the States, they sell a Google gift card. It's probably not available in Canada, but perhaps someone could buy it for you. If it's like other top up cards, all you need is the secret numbers from an activated card.

Well I used a website here: http://www.buyfrompowerseller.com/unblock-us-prepaid-card/ It's a great website that let's you purchase MasterCard Prepaid gift cards, but they can be a little expensive, I got a $15 card for about $22 (after taxes and fees). After purchase, you will get an e-mail with a link that you can register the gift card with an address that has no state taxes, like Delaware, the state I registered an address with. I have not tried it yet, but going to the States in two weeks and gonna try it there. But good luck!

[Q] AOKP and CM clarifying questions

Hey, guys. I'm relatively new to the custom ROM scene, I've been using MavROM for a bit, and it was pretty sweet. But recently it's started crashing in some larger applications (plants vs zombies for example. but that's neither here nor there).
I suppose first I should clarify that I have a Verizon Droid 3 XT862 with Hashcode's Safestrap 3.10 installed. (which is really cool!)
I did some googling, and many suggest that I give AOKP a try. I downloaded KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, and KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. But here's the thing that confuses me, I've tried all three of them, and they all seem to run fine, but they all seem exactly the same. I was under the impression that these custom ROMs contain no added bloat or unnecessary apps, but all three come with an NFL app, and Blockbuster app, and a few others I can't seem to remove. And in the case of KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, does the JB in the filename mean that it's meant for JellyBean compatible phones, or will it upgrade my phone to JellyBean? My phone still says it's running android version 2.3.4, and looks exactly the same as the stock GB OS it came with out of the box. So what's so JellyBean about it?
Am I missing something? Also, what's the difference between the versions I've tried? They all seem exactly the same in terms of cosmetics and functionality, but at the same time aren't bringing anything to the table that my old stock ROM didn't do.

Sounds like ur still booting into stock rom. You have to change rom slots in safestrap.

You're right! Thanks! That didn't occur to me, I had initially tried installing it using safestrap 2.10, but I guess I needed 3.05.
Another question, I now have AOKP installed in my second slot, and it boots fine. But I'm not able to access the play store, and I only see options to setup my Mail and Exchange accounts, but neither of them will let me hit Next to progress to the next step after inputting my password. I'd like to add my Google, Facebook, and Exchange accounts to get all my contacts back, but those don't appear to be options. I chose the Nova Launcher if that makes any difference. Was there a separate app package I was supposed to install with AOKP? I read that the CM series requires a separate package. Is AOKP like that?

I wonder if there will be a xxx-gapps-rom.zip for the 8.9" version soon?

That would depend on there being a SafeStrap for the 8.9" version soon
This works great on my tablet BTW. Thanks!

Hmmm looks like I might be the first one to try this out. I'm downloading now and I'll report back when it's finished.
Update: Installed the ROM and immediately hit the Play Store. Tried to add an existing Google account but it caused a reboot. Right now I'm stuck on the calculator since I have no nav buttons
Update 2: Tried to enable Wifi, got another reboot.
I'm going back to my stock ROM slot for now, being unable to use the Nav buttons makes this a bit difficult.

Installed and working perfectly. So far everything but gmail works, and works really well. thanks Cpasjuste.

The problem can only comes from the data partition. Did you try to first restore your stock data partition then flash the zip ?

Just tried it. ( Restoring data, flashing the zip).
I can see my apps from my stock ROM so I know the data restore was successful. I'm still missing the nav bar and Play Store still results in a reboot.
EDIT: Just tried it a second time and it seems to be working.

So unlike your flashable zip for the stock firmware this ROM gets rid of the Amazon Video App correct. Amazon video has Prime Instant Video Offline Downloading and that is a killer feature for me. Anyway to sideload that stock APK and have it work?

Here's a video of the end result

It does say it removes ALL Amazon background services, so, Sideloading probably will not work, at least not enough for the app to recognize this as a Kindle.

i can't long press anything with this rom... it just flips the screen around. can't get to the apps settings either. also, games like shadowrun always are upside down.

I use Nova launcher and long press works fine. Hungry Shark Evo always starts upside down for me but I guess unlock rotation lock, get it right then relock and it's fine. It's a pain but works. Only that game does that to me so far. Not sure why...

Soooo.... I installed and this was working OK, but random reboots. So I went ahead and wiped dalvik. Now I've got a bootloop. Is there a way to access safestrap?
***edit-fixed*** adb reboot got me into safestrap

The screen flip only happens in landscape mode, not portrait.
Temporary work around is turn on the "lock orientation" in the notification area (left most button), then it won't flip.
A slightly better work around is smart-rotator app.

Turn on fix orientation for the apps you want to "fix".

BlackBerry Mod

THIS IS FOR ANDROID 6.0+ ONLY!!!
This is mod I use on my LG V10.
Package was originally created as an add-on for Eliminater74's Rom.
I just ported it over as a flashable zip for my use but I figured I'd share.
Put zip on your external sd card and flash from twrp.
You will get a few "BlackBerry services not working " in the beginning but they will soon go away after some usage. These apps were on the BlackBerry Priv and are pretty useful especially the Hub. If there are some apps you don't like, just uninstall or freeze with titanium backup.
There is a launcher, contacts, calendar, bbhub, password keeper..... just a bunch of stuff.
Enjoy

Tells me that I need to upgrade the Blackberry Services.
When I can click Yes - it takes me to the Google app store and there says that my device isn't compatible...

Do you use titanium backup? If so, under preferences you can use market doctor to attach app links to play store and that should help. But, j700h is outside the U.S.? That might be the issue but I can't say for sure. Try market doctor and let me know please.
Thanks.

You lost me there. What non- rooted apps?
- Just looked it up. Didn't even know about that page. So did you use the BlackBerry manager as described?

Yes, installed the Blackberry Manager by Colbalt and it lets you install all the apps.
I prefer however downloading the folders from Colbalt (just check one of the previous posts on the thread) and install the apps I like (blackberry hub, calendar and keyboard) -the rest are just average (contacts on MM is way better than that of BB)
