[APP][MOD]Hangouts v2.0 VZW

renzo.olivares · Nov 3, 2013

Title says it all it's the hangouts 2.0 app modified so that MMS for verizon actually works, I just added verizon's apn's back to the apns.xml in /res/xml/apns.xml because google left them out......

heres the link to the app: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527945732

for some reason i can't get it to install just by pressing install. i had to remove the hangouts/talk app....and then had to use es file explorer to move the modded hangouts app to /system/app/ then it worked. but yea i can finally send mms now

It's definitely better than CM's built in messenger.

I am running Crdroid 4.3 and I couldn't get it to work using your instructions. Just force closes every time I open the app.

I moved it there, but how do I use it once its been moved?

I saw your post, and thought "maybe I could inject Straight Talk's APN info in, and get MMS working too!" ... I can't even compile the APK through APKTool. I keep getting errors about no resource with given name... Decompile worked, but compilation didn't. Did you use anything special to recompile the APK once you edited /res/xml/apns.xml?

We're you able to get this installed? I can't for the life of me figure out how, no matter what I do, it doesn't work.

I need to get recompilation to work before I can install it... Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm missing as to why I get the resource not found errors.

Dang, I was hopeful. I wish I could help you.

Hm, not entirely sure if I'm missing something or what. Running Newt's latest release of Sense 5.0 and I can't even change the permissions to write to /system/app/ utilizing ES File Explorer. I set it as Root Explorer and when trying to change permissions to Writable for Group/Other I get "Sorry, operation failed." If I don't change the permissions at all and just try and paste it I am told "Permission denied."

EDIT: Was able to utilize root browser to get your apk to /system/app/ but still cannot get the app to install.

I am in the same boat. Won't let me install it, I have tried everything

Johnson90512 · Nov 6, 2013

Thank you, I thought I was crazy. I have tried everything I know, and I saw all htese posts about Hangouts working just fine with pictures, and I thought maybe mine was broken. So if you can shed any light Joelz, we would love you forever....again

ThatFool · Nov 6, 2013

So I got it. After you place it in the /system/app restart your phone

Johnson90512 · Nov 6, 2013

I must be doing something wrong. still :/

DevonL · Nov 6, 2013

So I transferred it into /system/app/ (as an apk), removed the update of Hangouts and then Disabled Talk through app settings. Rebooted the phone - no Hangouts. Used Root Explorer to try and install Hangouts from /system/app/ - still just says "App not installed."

EDIT: Just to rule it out, I modified the permissions of the apk. Still nothing.

So I removed the other hangout app, and then went into es file explorer and copy and pasted the apk into the /system/app/ folder then restarted the phone, but nothing shows up in the app drawer, and I can't install it. What am I doing wrong?

I did the same thing as you, what rom are you using?

Me too, I wonder if that has something to do with it? hmm

Kagedin · Nov 6, 2013

I was able to get it to install by backing up the original hangouts app then removing it from data/app then moved the modified one to system/app and changed permissions, then rebooted. The app worked but unfortunately mms isn't working, I haven't been able to receive mms messages they don't appear in hangouts or the default messaging app. I'm running NOS GPE.
