Anyone know where I can extract the Google Voice .apk from my phone to be installed on my brother's? I want him to be able to use the free calling trick like I do, since I have the old version of Google Voice.
 
I'm not sure, if copying is allowed to non-rooted phones, but you can try it .Find the app filenames here:
Barebones - CyanogenMod Wiki

Download Android SDK:
Android SDK | Android Developers

Enable "USB debugging" under Settings/Applications/Development on both phones.

Connect your phone and from SDK tools folder, run following:
"adb remount" (don't know if this is needed)
"adb pull /system/app/googlevoice.apk"

Then connect brother's phone anf follow this post:

Of course, replace "blah blah blah" with application name, like this:
"adb push googlevoice.apk /system/app/googlevoice.apk"
and restart the phone.
Maybe you have to remove the original app from you brother's phone before pushing the new one, like desrcribed in "Barebones" guide.

This is the old apk I use exactly for this purpose...it should work fine. It's build # 0.3.4
