hey guys it's joe at pocketnow.com with a really quick exclusive video to show you the new google voice widgets in action let's go take a look okay so with the new g2 rom that was recently leaked we found a new google apps package and inside that was a couple widgets that showed up for google voice and we had a lot of hope for these that you know Google might be getting a little bit closer to enabling voice from the handset without going over your cellular voice provider not quite there yet but I'm still hopeful with that came these two widgets the first is google voice settings the second one is the google voice inbox and to get to this of course you find an empty spot you're going to need a 3 x 1 square on your screen for each one of these widgets tap and hold on that empty spot choose widgets scroll down here to find the widgets and then tap to insert it now you can see I've already got the other one loaded up the google voice inbox widget shows you just that this is a call that i have i've already listened to it so it's not unread and i can just tap on it to take meet right in there the settings widget down on the bottom lets me open up google voice to the inbox quickly compose a message go into settings so i can toggle between if you notice down on the bottom it's set to ask for every call right now use for all calls do not use for calls use international only so you can just toggle through all of your settings right there i like all calls and then over there is do not disturb so if you've only given out your google voice number and you don't want anyone to call you you want everything to go to to voicemail you can just tap that and turn on or turn off do not disturb mode so really nice you can do that all really quick couple things to note you are going to need froyo this will not work on android 2.1 or below you have to have 2.2 or up and that you have to download it through a little bit more shady of sources if you will I'll include a link to that so if you do have froyo and want to give this a try you can go ahead and do that this will replace the stock google voice app that you can get from the market at least for now because it's currently unreleased officially so kind of neat to show you hands-on so here's our hands on exclusive of the google voice widgets that came with the leaked g2 rom i'm joe for pocketnow.com if you like seeing all kinds of exclusives and before you can get them apps go ahead and give this video a thumbs up if you've got any questions or comments leave those down below and if you haven't already subscribed to our video channel so you can stay up to date on all things pertaining to smartphones and especially my favorite the Android
