What’s inside the GAPPS for the T-Mobile G2? Google Voice.

This is some pretty interesting stuff. Our very own Andrew Steffy decided to flash the GAPPS (Google-Apps) found in the recently leaked T-Mobile G2 build over a CyanogenMod 6 nightly on his Nexus, and voila… it works!

Inside the GAPPS you’ll find the all the new widgets and apps you’ve come to know and love from stock Froyo (Market widget, tips, etc.), and a whole lot more. As far as we can tell, just about every Google app available for Android comes already installed on the device. When they said “with Google,” they weren’t kidding. What’s more, there’s even something new: A Google Voice widget. The new Google Voice widget shows how much money is in your GV account, and features handy buttons for quick access to your inbox, a compose message function, settings for when to use GV, and a button to turn Google Voice off.

Could the revolution continuing have something to do with T-Mobile and VOIP? Exactly how Google Voice will work with your G2 and T-Mobile isn’t quite clear yet, but we know that with the calling features recently added to the web-based GMail client, Google is pushing it hard. Of course, this could just be a good time for Google to push out a new widget, but hey, we can dream right? Look for more information to develop when we find it. Until then, check out the eye candy below. Rev it up!

Update: Sure enough, you can indeed customize hotkeys. It’s about time.

I'll post the same information to my blog, thanks for ideas and great article.

I'm looking forward to the G2...I've set my mind on upgrading my G1 to N1 but now that the G2 is on the horizon I have to wait to see what it has to offer. The major dealbreaker would be a skinned UI so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for vanilla android 2.2...

Yep! I was agreed, I'll keep in touch to your blog. This blog is so usefully, Thanks for the posted ;)

Dog, dump the annoying product popups.

I posted it on XDA a couple days ago. If you can't get the apk from there, let me know, I'll try hosting it somewhere else. :-) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=...

Where's the apk posted up?

Where did you get the Voice apk from? Also, did you try installing the HTC Calibrate apk as well?

So you just flash the entire rom ontop of CM6 or did you have to bake the Gapps alone?

You can actually just take the new Google Voice apk and install that like any other app. It replaces the existing Voice app. I'm using it now on my G1 running 2.2 and it works perfectly. The widgets are very nice.

Has anyone installed this over the stock Google Voice app. I was think about installing it on my stock Nexus One...

Awesome...can't w8. Love my N1 but i might just add the G2 to make it an awesome-twosome. But what else is instore b4 years end...dual core devices... shud i w8 b4 i take the plunge...hmmmmm

This would be your first? Excellent choice! Cyanogen, master hacker, has already said he's getting one on launch day. That's really saying something.

I'm still learning the hidden features of GMail. This makes me want to learn more. These could make may pending purchase of my 1st Andy phone more valuable.

Are those the buttons next to the launcher that you can customize now?
