The problem is that the googleserviceframework is not the only thing needed. You also need some other app for it to work.

Right. I assumed when folks said the Vox has been rooted, that included all the necessary stuff to get Market up and running (since the device doesn't come with Market already). But, yeah, rooting is the easy part. Getting Market to work requires more effort.

I tried two different things:
Neither worked for me, however, I did not try the first one using Talk rather than Market, as suggested above AND I have not tried using a different cyanogenmod package (as directed to if the first install failed). I had to reset the Vox after the cyanogenmod attempt as it borked my home button and few other things. On the weekend, I may play a bit more. |

No, I didn't install the basic maps. I did have "Maps" installed before, which used to work fine, but with the Market app installed it now insists on logging me in which doesn't work and therefore Maps no longer works. (BTW, I've since uninstalled Market and GSF since they weren't useful, and Maps now works again without the login requirement.)

I can't see any of those apps helping with the connection. Are there other system files that would be included though? |

The fact that YouTube isn't working on the Vox, along with Netflix means something is not right. Certain files could be missing. Last edited by SCION; 11-02-2011 at 04:17 PM. |

Well, root is not even needed to install the google apps.
Rooting is easy to do. The goal of rooting is to give the right to do everything to every file on the system. Rooting is needed to install a recovery (to install the google apps more easily and to change the rom/kernel). I really hope to see a CM7 version for the vox. |
