Amazing

I'm literally amazed at how many people don't follow simple, specific directions on here........

There is a learning curve here, I admit, but nothing that can't be overcome by simply reading the whole thread and following directions. If you don't read ahead to find out how people have stumbled & what to look for, you're just asking for trouble & headaches. Possibly even a handicapped device. <rant over>
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
Agreed. This was an amazingly simple (and typical) process. Thanks, OP! Works great!
[HTC Sensation] ajkermode:
Answered it myself - ES file explorer didn't have write permissions. Its now installed, and running! No voice recognition, but still nice.

I didn't push to /system/app, I just installed re: OPs post, went fine! :highfive:

Your Sensation is running Sense?
[HTC Sensation] ravid1323:

[HTC Sensation] Fixter:
Well I just ****ed up my ROM somehow. Now every 5 minutes I get a process com.google.process.gapps has stopped and I have no data. Awesomesauce.
[HTC Sensation] nikos444:
Does it work outside USA???
[HTC Sensation] Offbyone:
So I installed it with the first one and got the network errors. I downloaded the "fixed" apk but it wont install. I don't see the .apk in the system/app folder. Where can I find the install of the first apk so I can remove it and use the updated apk?
[HTC Sensation] h20wakebum:
well... in flashing all these different versions that are out there... I seem to have messed something up.

The first version i flashed when I'd be in the search function and hit settings I'd see "google now" where I could define what it tracks...

Now, that option isn't there... any thoughts?

[HTC Sensation] Censura_Umbra:
I Installed it normally on my GS2 and it works fine (except voice)
[HTC Sensation] rzabcio:
Of course it does. Why so weird question?
[HTC Sensation] zaxondis:
Working great for me (minus voice of course), thanks to the OP'er and all the mirrors! (Buttons hit, no worries)

It's already added a sports card for me and a travel card based on some searches I did. I know this seems terrible for privacy, but no one on this thread should care about that really if they are installing. :)

ONE SMALL ISSUE TO REPORT

Getting a force close when trying to hit "Show more cards" at the bottom. Anyone else?

On CM9 alpha 13 for the HTC One S here. Might try a fresh install of the ROM and of this app later to see if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] Invisman:
From my experience you can see Google Now only if you pushed the apk to system/app. If you simply installed the apk instead, you will get only the rest of the stuff like Phone Search.
[HTC Sensation] flamingBurrito:
You know what, telling someone to read the thread isn't helpful, especially as threads get to be more than 10-15 pages.

Gingerbread port?

Anybody gonna work on porting this APK to Gingerbread devices? Please? ;)
[HTC Sensation] StrangeSavage:
i just did read it all no problems. 10-15 pages ? get a grip mate, there are threads of 200-500 pages and still sometimes it's best to read them ALL.

juniors shouldn't be neither too lazy nor too verbose, imho. learn to read, understand and experiment at your own risk. otherwise, forget about xda for good.

that's my point. and i'm a junior, too, mind you.

Just out of curiosity to understand a little more about how the OS works, what does changing the sdk from 15 to 16 do?
[HTC Sensation] aman1127:
So Im on a Sprint Nexus S, rooted of course and I keep getting a connection error. I followed the instructions and even did the same with the other search apk link that was posted. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] shar06:
I think I know what the problem is with the voice recognition. The recognition is not.online like previous version, its on de device, its on jelly bean..

Could be that?
[HTC Sensation] jav92:
I installed it in my SGS2 with Resurrection Remix ROM (aokp) and it's working fine, except for voice... I did't push the apk to /system, just installed normally :good:
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
I was soooo wanting this, thanks Feb this works great on aokp:D
[HTC Sensation] justj03:
Worked fine for me. Interesting, I went into settings>languages>voice recognizer and there are 2 google options. The default selected one works (no voice as expected) but the other seems to cause issues. Then the whole app stops working. Changed it back to the first option and reboot, getting "network errors" but it still works. Hmm.

Extreme Sensation Power ROM
[HTC Sensation] zaxondis:
Did you install the APK or push it to /system/app? When I installed it the first time, it wouldn't work for me. When I pushed it it worked well. Also used this version since I was having network errors: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28228405&postcount=111 seems to have fixed them for me.
[HTC Sensation] beaton3344:
Droid RAZR ICS .211worked great did sdk change and reboot just like op said. Then put Velvet.apk in system/app. I then had to clear data and force close app using app manager after that everything was perfect except voice. Great job man. Heck of a start. I wonder if changing the build number will effect anything. I tried changing sdk to 16 and running it no luck and YouTube force closes.
[HTC Sensation] irishmyles003:
Excellent! Search is working for me I'm running CM9alpha6 on my Epic4gTouch :) I'm able to configure the sample cards and such and everything but voice appears to be working. Not getting any f/c when accessing the Google Now settings.
[HTC Sensation] acculver:
Did not work

I have HTC with Scott rom of ics for EVO 3d

I was able to get it install but the voice keep saying try again so I reverted back.
[HTC Sensation] jsgraphicart:
A developer for my phone, who is pretty good at what he does, mentioned that it is due to audio codecs. Which makes sense if Jelly Bean uses different codecs than ICS. I'm no developer though so I wouldnt know.
[HTC Sensation] mike.b93:
could make sense. Nexus S ports don't work because of different audio handling, too
[HTC Sensation] beaton3344:
Makes since I guess. Not sure if that would make the voice settings close tho. Seems like the data needs cleared and reset. Has any tried wiping cache or factory reset. I'll try it later can't right now...
[HTC Sensation] jasehr:
didnt worked for me, got stuck in a bootloop

[HTC Sensation] NavarrB:
Works alright on CM9. Doesn't have audio support there, though.
[HTC Sensation] Tserppa:
Am I doing something wrong because Im getting only the sample cards? If I search something it looks like normal google search. I think I followed the instructions properly.
[HTC Sensation] Hell-Intimidator:
Did following your instructions and reboot. Got network error. So I used the different link, pushed it in then reboot. Still the same results of no connection. No cards, no voice (of courses it won't work) however when type in using search, it work fine.

Using Droid X with CM9 (6/26)
[HTC Sensation] jsgraphicart:
If thats the case, I dont see voice search working unless some one edits the apk to work with the ICS codecs. I dont know what the OP originally did to make this run on ICS. If he edited it in any way or just simply pulled the apk from jelly bean installed it on an ICS device. Again, I'm no developer though. lol
[HTC Sensation] beaton3344:
Did you clear data in app manager.

Only major problems I have is voice, back button doesn't work well, and can't access voice settings.
[HTC Sensation] aman1127:
how do you push it? i havent needed to do that in the longest time (EVO days) so I forgot
[HTC Sensation] wolfman87:
I copied it into /system/apps fine and was able to start it up without the networking error (Finally :))

Then I started getting FC's saying that "Unfortunately Google Search has stopped."

I rebooted and it started to work again, but when I clikc on "Show More Cards" I get that error again.

Anyone know what's causing this?

CM9 RC1 - VZN Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC Sensation] antonio1475:
Different behaviour

The version in the OP and the version by theos0o for the network error behave differently.

The version in the OP won't show cards. It just searches what you write.

Theos0o's version shows the cards and works, but when hitting back button to exit, it won't exit. It kind of bugs the graphics and won't exit. I have to kill it/home button.

Anyway, I'm keeping theos0o's version until updates. Looks promising!

:)
[HTC Sensation] Screw Muggz:
I tried it on the TF101, no luck. I saw some FC's, and its setting itself off in its own settings.

I tried on both Megatron and CM9 RC1.
[HTC Sensation] Sebianoti:
I'm getting "Didn't catch that. Try speaking again" constantly after searching, won't even listen to me, using CM9
[HTC Sensation] bassie1995:
SDK number 15 is ICS (actually, Android 4.0.3, SDK 14 is 4.0-4.0.2), and SDK 16 is JB. Apps that want to know your SDK version (such as Google Play, to know whether an app is compatible), look at your build.prop and take the SDK version from that.

So, when you edit that value, apps think your SDK is higher. This means that they'll work, when they wouldn't have at first.

[HTC Sensation] Sebianoti:
Well that's not very good...

i switched to CM9 from Sense just for this, only to find out it don't work.
[HTC Sensation] yash1229:
Tried this on my I9000 running the latest version of SlimICS (AOKP)..

Followed the instructions in the OP to a tee. Search functionality is fine but, voice search doesn't work. From what I've read of the thread so far, it is Work In Progress and I'm more than ready to wait! :)

But, the only problem that I am having is that I am getting Titanium Backup and YouTube FCs randomly. And occasionally, a Google Play Store FC. What can I do to stop these?
[HTC Sensation] kobuu:
Running pretty good

Just installed using procedure on my Motorola Photon 4g running Jokersax CM9 version 0.7.0 ICS 4.0.4. with Olegg Kernel V7 1.3.

Network error went away after re-accepting permissions for BOTH this search and the normal voice search. No the voice search (for the Google Now bit) doesn't work but my normal voice search does.
[HTC Sensation] jsgraphicart:
Ok. If that step wasn't taken when installing the .apk, then the app wouldn't work at all or probably would have shown an error when installing? I think I'm understanding. Changing the SDK was just so the apk would install on an ICS device.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Did you do the last step in the instructions and edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.
[HTC Sensation] ens1:
Works great on my Incredible 2 with CM9. Working on getting rid of the network error now.

Cards & Notifications

I thought during I/O they said the cards would remind you on items like meetings/appointments by calculating how much time it would take to get there from where you were at?

Just tried that, no notification (popup) i had to open Now to see the card and travel details.

Has anyone got this to work?

Otherwise, works fine.
[HTC Sensation] Link_of_Hyrule:
Can't you modify the APK so that it will work on sdk 15 instead of moding the build props?
[HTC Sensation] h20wakebum:
So... I read the op and tried to get this working... but!!

After renaming the stock googlesearchtoolbok thing to apk1, I then try installing velvet.apk and it won't install.

Even if i put it in system/app... it won't install (application not installed).

It will say it's already isntalled/do i want to replace, I say yes then it fails.

Any thoughts? what am i doing wrong?

I did the API editing and everything!
[HTC Sensation] jsgraphicart:
Agreed. This is what I think needs to be done.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

[HTC Sensation] davorb:
I made it work on my One X by following the instructions and installing to system/app. Remember to reboot and revert the sdk version to 15 when you're done!

Yeah but you didn't fix voice
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Having the back button error too, on theos0o's version. I'm also getting an error where it doesn't want to search anything. I search something ('hello', just an example) and nothing happens. Don't get any results.

But yeah, I'll keep theos0o's version. Hopefully as time goes by we can get this fully working!
[HTC Sensation] irishmyles003:
Are you setting the permissions properly? Push the velvet.apk to /system/app and reboot. Click on your search soft button and you should have 2 options. Otherwise I'm not sure what your doing wrong.
[HTC Sensation] dodgergarcia32:

[HTC Sensation] ens1:
Has anyone tried using the Voice Search apk from the Jellybean rom?

I'm not sure if it would help, but I would like it if it did. If anyone has that, can you upload it or try it yourself?

Also, is anyone else getting a FC when you hit show more cards?
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
If I set the permissions wrong it wouldn't have installed, so yeah, I dunno.
[HTC Sensation] uhhdoug:
i downloaded the sysdump earlier I will see if I can do anything and report back
[HTC Sensation] timekillerj:
Got this working (no voice obviously) on my T-Mo SGS2. Ifigure the reason voice doesn't work is that with 4.1 the speech to text engine was moved onto the device. Without that apk, I don't think the voice functions will work.

Should just need somebody to find that apk and get it ported :)

[HTC Sensation] mike.b93:
Good idea... I'm curious if that could work. But since jb handles audio differently I doubt that this will work
[HTC Sensation] mike.b93:
Change the sdk version in the build.prop back to "15"
[HTC Sensation] Tijmen:
Try to read ALL of the instructions next time, you need to revert ro.build.sdk to 15 after installing Google Now.

Worked for me. Took some time with editing it all and installing it all. But now playing with it. and it works. sometimes i get pop ups for network not responding but it works anyway. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] xyrer:
I installed ONLY because of the voice feature, which is the only thing NOT working for me, so.... nicely done and all but not so useful after all. Not for me at least. thanks anyway.
[HTC Sensation] knG333:
I tried pushing the JB apks and libs someone posted recently and nothing worked. Pushing the voicesearchstub.apk to system/app/ and libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so, libvoicesearch.so to system/lib/ allowed me to boot the phone, but still produced the same results of voice failing instantly. When I pushed libvorbisencoder.so and libvorbisidec.so to system/lib/, my phone (Motorola Photon running MIUI) wouldn't boot at all.

I think this is going to take more in depth hacking, but I'm not experienced at all in this stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Deleted member 4121169:
Hey all, I'm having some issues with the camera under the 10.5 BFS kernel with CM7.2 (both nightlies and RCs). I used that combination for awhile but then I got a screen digitizer replacement for my Inc2 and now the camera doesn't refresh under the default CM camera app unless I interact with the screen/app. I tried the camera under the app Paper Camera and it seems to work pretty well. This only happens with aero's kernel though, not the default CM7.2 kernel. The issue also doesn't occur with the unofficial CM9 builds from aero but I think that's because that ROM is using a different camera driver? If aero or anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful, I love using the 10.5 BFS kernel! Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Aldo101t:
it's not the kernel, it's a known issue with ics on dinc2, there is a patch on here or somewhere for the camera to work and camcorder but no flash
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Use angel camera for flash, there's even a theme of it out there somewhere so it isn't pink.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Uh.... 10.5 BFS is an ICS kernel. I don't believe that ICS kernels can be used on gingerbread roms, well not with full functionality anyways...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Deleted member 4121169:
Thanks for the tip but aerovan stated that the kernel is compatible with the latest CM7.2 builds. I know of at least one popular Kang that bundles the same kernel. Also it worked perfectly fine up until I got my digitizer replaced... so maybe it has something to do with that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
I'm running the latest CM7 nightlies and always an aeroevan 10.5 kernel. No camera problems here.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Oh ok good to know. I haven't ran or even browsed any of the cm7 rooms in forever. Have you tried a fresh install of the rom and kernel? I'm thinking that this problem is software related. It just doesn't sound like a hardware problem to me.

Charge your battery to 100% and then calibrate your battery .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caiobemloke:
Plug it on the AC charger for at least 5hours, then go to Recover > Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats

Then reboot again, use normally the phone and do NOT charge it until it dies with 0% battery, do not power it on, then let it charge with AC charger for another 5 hours, then you can power it on... On my Ace it was worked, then the battery drawn is much more linear :)

I've been flashing different roms but I don't flash kernels can you guys tell me what flashing one of them will do?
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
What most use them for is to (overclock) their tabs and other features. Make sure you get the one for the rom you have installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] jiteshkumawat:
Kernels are the simple codes written to utilize the hardware. They make available all the functions of hardware with system calls. Some of the kernels are also called micro kernels as they use very little codes to use all the functions of hardware and are thus very small in size. But coding becomes a little bit typical. Well simply, when you are changing your rom most of the time your kernel also change as different dev's use different kernel for there rom. You need not to worry to change kernel if you dont know much about it. Kernel are also responsible for increasing the speed of your tab as they change the way hardware is implemented.

One very good outcome of changing kernel you must have noted is that of overclocking.

Try to use the kernel which is stable.

Hello everyone,

I'm using a samsung galaxy s plus and i've flashed the ParanoidAndroid 4.0.4 rom on my phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729331

I've followed the instructions and the rom itself is working great. But if i try to reboot or go into recovery mode by holding the power button and selecting either, the phone will reboot and get stuck on the samsung logo.

If i then remove and reinsert the battery, it will boot up normally. Untill i try to reboot or go into recovery again.

I've tried wiping the caches, changing kernel and even reinstalling the rom but the problem persists.

I'm really hoping someone knows more about this problem and can help me find a way to fix it, because this rom is pretty damn nice and it would be a shame to stop using it.

Thanks in advance

[Asus Transformer TF700] sonicated:
Is it possible to replace the battery on the Infinity?

If I get this tablet I'll want to keep it for a good few years so I imagine at some stage the battery will degrade. At this time it will past the warranty period so voiding the warranty won't be an issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
its certainly possible. Going off the teardown for the Prime, its safe to assume the battery will be connected using a simple plug.

The hard part will be locating a replacement battery and getting the back casing off.

But after that it looks to be a fairly simple procedure.
