I got Google Voice working.

edit: Can probably ignore most of this and use this APK instead:

I've been bothered by Google Voice not working since I got my Xoom on launch day, but have been using the web portal... Until now.

I loaded up my Droid, backed up Google Voice+settings with Titanium Backup, restored it on my Xoom and it came up without doing the setup, since it already had my account settings installed. It force closed the first time but I noticed an error in the notification area... Error was asking for permission to use that email address as my Google Voice account, I accepted, re-launched Google Voice and success, full app, working as it would on the phone. Gives notifications and everything.

Enjoy!

Awesome!

Do you have to be rooted?

Maybe I don't know any better, but how did you do that without a working SD slot?

What do you mean? Don't need an SD slot, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder from your Android phone to your PC then copy it to the Xoom...

Yes, need to be rooted, install BusyBox(there's a Market app for that) then install Titanium Backup. I've tried just installing the APK, naturally no luck.

Dang, looks like I'll be waiting for the official version for honeycomb. :/

You could also use dropbox (or something similar) or even just email the APK to yourself.

Gotta have more than just the APK, got to have the data that goes with GV as well, hence Titanium Backup is needed...

Have you rebooted yet? Every app I have tried to restore with tb has stopped working as soon as I rebooted the xoom.

I don't believe it and call shenanigans.

Can you look in your data/data folder and see if you have a google voice folder that starts with a period and then a reg one...also what version of tb...not at home to try this yet.

Latest version of the free TB, whatever version that is...

There's no directory in there that starts with a .(at least, according to ls -a, I don't have Root Explorer on here, using terminal), there is a com.google.android.apps.googlevoice directory with all the subdirectories and such though.

I can't get busy box to install. I'm rooted, but it's saying my NAND is locked or it wasn't able to remount.

[edit] nevermind. I guess it didn't like that I was plugged into my computer and didn't have the debug mode on. Strange.

I got Google Voice working.
