I'm unable to find a way to utilize HTC's Voice Recorder app. It doesn't display in my usable apps list, but does display in the list of all installed apps and even shows up in system/app. I frequently used it on my original Dinc, and can't overwrite it or reinstall it from package without root. Does anyone have the ability to use it or have an idea for me to fix this without a factory reset?

mine's not showing in app draw either
i don't see it anywhere on my phone??
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All tab and look for Voice Recorder. It shows up on my phone as taking up 0.00B, meaning it's not installed. When I use my file manager to look at the system/app folder, it shows HtcSoundRecorder.apk as taking up 307.00K, meaning the app exists and should be installed on first initialization, but it's not.

It won't let me (re)install it because I don't have root. I also can't replace it with the one from my original Dinc.

i put easy voice recorder on here from the inc2, it seems to work ok, i think i got it from the market, not sure, i installed it from my backups
Lol. Yeah, I rooted my Dinc soon after it got Froyo, so for almost the last 2 years I've been able to install what I want when I want, and I definitely miss that. The few people who rooted this phone before they took the ability away from us don't seem to be hanging around the forums much. I've got questions and comments posted on several of the sub-forums and few have replies.

You can get it to work through the "Notes" app. Voice Recorder is Hidden from the app drawer because it is bundled with Notes. Kinda like Navigation is bundled with Maps, but at least you can go straight to Navigation if you want. You need to be rooted to edit the default.xml to un-hide apps like Mirror, Task Manager, Car, Dock, Voice Recorder, etc.
P.S. it says 0.00 because you haven't ever used it before.
Yes, the recorder works with notes.

You are quite correct. You have to manually go and find the audio file it saves in 'sdcard/.data/HtcNotes' It doesn't show up in the Music player, at least without a reboot. Clicking on it in my file explorer, it plays in the Music app, though. There are several applications/shortcuts hidden by default.
Voice Recorder, Camcorder, Voice Dialer, Mirror, Polaris Office, among others.
I appreciate you pointing that out to me.

Editing default.xml and removing the lines as per the post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19800023&postcount=7 ) resulted in hidden apps still not showing; also checked the rezound forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418785 ) and there was still an issue of them not showing

Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)
Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!
Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!
IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!
Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.
Now lets get to the fun!
Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.
http://db.tt/tXHSuYH
Alternative Mirror
http://www.multiupload.com/PAYDTSPCYQ
You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.
When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab
Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.
Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!
(if all went well you should see "Peer started")
Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"
(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")
Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"
Go ahead and open up the Music app
Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"
(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds
If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!
However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.
Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful
If you can't take the harsh sarcasm (not really) in this post then please get off XDA and do not attack me on this thread.. do you guys not have anything better to do? if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all! Thanks.

Was pretty fast for me and the perks are being able to access your music from the cloud and bigger storage space than an SD card if you don't mind moving your music collection in "waves" to your SD card as I said this is not final but it's working and working well until we get something more "official"

Hey "bro" why don't you lay off your high horse. DiGi is learning and progressing, not seeing anything come from you, but yet you want to sit here and say he has an attitude??
1. If you felt the need to look at this post (not being a mod) then this interest you, so shut it and if you dont like it, then move along.
2. IRC is a place for chat and learning hint the abbreviation "Internet Relay Chat". It doesn't say "yes were going to be nice to you and hold you hand", once again get off your high horse.
3. Quit being a **** on the forums, yeah you're cool. How about this, quit dishing hate on others work, unless you take time out to work on something your self, and then have tons of questions asked to you, and see how frustrating it becomes. I highly doubt he was being a "****" or "juvenile" about anything, it's just the way you seemed to take it.
At this time, there is not a way to get it from your desktop to the cloud. Seeing as how you are not even supposed to do this yet..... that feature has not been implemented lol
BTW, anyone calling digi bad names is a complete douche, I <3 digi, he has never acted like an ass or anything that I have EVER seen..
Oh, and thank you Digi

You would have to plug your phone into your PC, transfer the music to the proper folder you have setup for this app and then synch. All music in that folder will be uploaded to Google's servers so you can access it at anytime from the APP.

Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

Can you upload it? I did not know there was an update. Curious if it fixes the account switching bug in .3.
EDIT: nevermind... it does not fix the bug.
thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.

It seems that because of an Apple lawsuit, all links (YouTube, Play Store, etc) open in the web browser instead of their respective apps. It no longer gives an option to choose like it did in gingerbread. This drove me nuts and I searched around the internet for a fix. I hope this helps someone with the same problem.
1) Delete HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk using System Tuner or Root Explorer (apk located in /system/app). Note: Freezing the apk won't work, it needs to be removed.
2) Reboot phone
3) Clear defaults for browser in Settings/Apps

So THAT is why.. I always wondered if I could safely remove that APK from my old rom, now I wish I had. Like apple owns the RIGHTS to apps getting utilized.. I'll probably figure it out later, but this doesn't actually break the app association function in system settings right?
Mainly this post is a bump for your thread, this is good to know, and I think this apk is still being included in all the roms..
You can also remove the app using titanium backup.

The app associations in the settings is incomplete. Try opening a YouTube link on your phone without this tweak and it will force it open in the browser instead of giving it an option to open it in the YouTube app.
The reason HTC added the app associations in the settings menu is to get around an Apple patent that is being enforced by the ITC (thus the delay in customs for HTC ONE X at the US customs). Apple owns a patent which allows intelligent app associations by knowing which app to open by reading the link. HTC lost that in the courts so we get a workaround that is not as good as the old option.
This is not a big deal for most people but I hate the YouTube mobile site and would rather want my YouTube links to open in the app.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Mine still opens in the browser, even after clearing caches, to be honest, I think the app htclinkify or whatever the name is happens to be the app that links contacts, but I may be wrong.
Well guess I'm the only unlucky one, lol.

You sir, are a flippin' genius! Also, Apple are a bunch of asshats, but that's nothing new.
Just curious, those who have completed this mod, can you click on a phone number or email (check both please) and the phone bring up either the dialer or new email to compose? I tested it and these stopped functioning as the links call the app that is renamed/deleted.
Thanks!!

Clicking phone number does bring up a dialer for me and clicking an email link brings up an option to choose.
Try clearing the defaults for Mail/Gmail and dialer and that might solve your problem.

I'd have to test it, but I don't use gtalk.. but since gtalk is a purely google app, I doubt it would have problems from deleting a HTC specific file. I would go ahead and stop the app, delete the files in system settings, or if that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app..
As I said, there is no reason that gtalk should have problems after this..
I just tried this and none of the links open now. When I try for example to open a link from Reddit News, nothing happens. It doesn't open it with youtube app or the browser. Nothing happens at all
EDIT: Seems like freezing the app with titanium backup doesn't work. I uninstalled it and it works fine now
Thanks OP

I found the same to be true about freezing the app.
From what I have experienced, this occurs with the stock browser. I installed Dolphi Browser and I am able to open maps with the maps/navigation app, as well as click numbers and it opens in the phone app. Maybe something to consider.
Sort of easy fix is to install the google chrome beta and make that default. When i click on links on that browser (or even facebook) it asks again. Thank GOD!!!
Question. I don't really mind the fact that the linkify dispatcher exists, and the benefits of removing it don't outweigh the drawbacks for me. But I am darn tired of seeing it showing up in my multitasking menu. Looks unprofessional and tacky.
So, my question is: how can I hide HTCLinkifyDispatcher from the multitasking menu without actually removing it?

I've yet to see a benefit to keeping it, so I don't know why you'd want to keep it. Remove it, then it is a non issue.

1) Will Juice Defender work on this?
2) Probably the most important, when I go to the Google Play market, and I sign on, I can't view the applications I had previously bought for my OLD smartphone. I mean, sure I can go off memory but I can't see any of my "Purchased" apps.
3) How do I make the battery bar display % instead?
Thanks
Do you have the phone?

Hi,
Answer re 3. Go to settings -> display then scroll down and select display percentage. It'll still display bar though.

Well it's all of them! I just searched Shazam and Soundhound....so once they're searched it says "Purchased", but I can't see that BEFORE I search.
It's not like I remember every I've bought!
Hit the menu button in market, hit my apps, flick left and boom, hardest task ever.

I had the same problem coming from a full wipe in the play store.
Sometimes it just takes a little while to refresh which apps you have bought in the store, if it keeps happening send google play an email.
There is a brief delay. They are there. Your phone is no different.
Thanks it worked!
Is it recommended to use JuiceDefender and SetCPU on this phone since it's already so awesome?
how to download apps from play store
hi all,
i m a new bee in android world. my name is gaurav and i'm from india,recently bought a galaxy s3 pebble blue 16 gb,my problem is
1) i connect my s3 to my pc and open google play on my pc,when i download free apps from google play it sayts it will be downloaded shortly to ur cellphone,but the problem is untill i activate mobile data ie the mobile network connection in my s3 the download doesn't happen,and as i activate it my cellphone network data usage goes up,so is it required to every time have an active mobile network connection or GPRS on to get apps on my s3?even if i download dem from my pc thru play store....
plz help...........
You can't transfer apps across USB from your PC. Applications have to be sent from the Play Store to your phone directly, hence you need to use a connection - do you not have WiFi?
Also, don't hijack posts with your own questions - start a new thread.
Also also, learn to write coherent sentences, please.

You CAN download apps on PC (from different sources) and copy it to your phone via USB. These apps are .apk files which CAN be installed by simply clicking on them.
Please understand that english is not native for everyone, and people may not be well versed with it as you are.
Of course you can download .apks from other sources, but you can't download apps as APK files from the Play Store on your PC. That was what the OP (well, not OP, but you know what I mean) asked.

I use "app list backup" to transfer my apps from phone to phone. It's free and easy to use.

It could be a none standard DPI issue. Clear market data&cache,change dpi to 240 and reboot

Even the most awesome phone can't get rid of the radio, Wifi and bluetooth draining the battery, that's simply a physical fact.
However it has quite a large battery so you might not need to set it too restrictive.
I'd recommend going with the 'Juicedefender Beta' (requires the paid 'Juicedefender Ultimate' for all features) and installing AOSP helper. (Requires root)
Do a NANDROID backup as advised but everything should go pretty well.
I've found the following Setup to be excellt while not hindering the least bit with my interactions:
- Set Juidedefender NOT to disable data and NOT to disable sync.
- It should auto-manage Wifi (requires a few days of training)
- It should drop to 2G after 5 minutes of inactivity
- It should restore 3G on screen-on
As a plus you can configure Juicedefender to handle brightness since through it's overlay it can (similarly to Screen Filter) go well below minimum AMOLED brightness which is far too bright at nighttime.
As for SetCPU, I'm running Siyah with only minor modifications to the frequencies. My phone neither likes overclocking nor undervolting but it's awesome as-is
Been searching the threads and wanted to know what is safe to freeze/remove? I imagine the list for the TMO G4 would be the same for this this device?

Experimentation is key.
So far for me I've frozen anything listed as t-mobile with the filter option. I've frozen (deleting caused problem) all the Instagram Facebook (messenger too) handlers. Froze App Source I deleted the LG voicecare (only cause when I ran LG update I stupidly checked all of them) since I know I could without drama. My best suggestion is freeze first. Run phone for a bit and see if you get any errors on the screen.
This is everything that I have frozen. No issues so far. I have Nova installed as a system app, that way I can freeze the LG launcher.

With all the items you froze, do you still see the app showing usage in the battery stats? I have had devices that this occurred.

To be honest I haven't really looked at it. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get Better Battery Stats to work right. I've been having good battery life so it hasn't really been on my mind (average of 4-5 hours SOT).

phone needs to be rooted for titanium to freeze these apps right?

Yes, but you also need the pro version of the app to freeze apps.
okay, but...
If i were to delete these apps, instead of freezing, would it blow my phone into oblivion?

You can delete all the Google and all the T-Mobile apps. Also delete AdaptClient and LTDDM, as those are behavior-tracking spyware apps.
You can delete LGPartnerBookmarksProvider which is a carrier customization package for Chrome.
Don't delete any LG apps as they're all tied into the system one way or another.
When I was making my ROM, I found that deleting LG apps would often result in FCs in random settings screens or other LG apps.

Some apps will, some won't, just make a backup before you start, that way if you break something, you can restore...
Zdeuce2 now with golden rays of sunshine
I was hoping for a script like I used on my galaxy note 4... just hook to pc and run .bat file that someone had created.. lol Oh well.. Any updates??

Where did you find good instructions to root the V10? I'm finding all kinds of conflicted posts.

Hey, I'm curious how you managed to delete Google apps without ill effect. I shut off the Google suite and my phone went nuts. Particularly bothersome was the loss of voice to text and spell checker when writing text messages (with Textra). The Google keyboard and ( I don't know why there are so many voice related apps)the voice recorder and the other audible vocal apps I had to turn back on. Do you have a trick that made it possible to disable chrome without headaches?

I imagine (and I mean this as much as a question as I do a comment) that after removing apps that serve a purpose such as Google keyboard, you could restore functionality by installing a replacement app of your choosing...? At least it seems to make sense in theory.. Plz correct me if I'm mistaken ... This is the 1st device I'm debloating myself manually so no experience to back my assumption... But I would like a more seasoned opinion on the matter... Thx
