I do not have talkback installed. I don't like it so I never installed it. And when I go to accessibility it says no services found and ask me if I want to download it from the market.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] akamara13:
Hey I have Google Now installed and it's up but when I try to speak a command it responds to retry and that it has a "network error. Check network connections and try again". Any help anyone?

Plus, anytime I hit the microphone button it says "Retry" immediately.

Edit: I installed it as an actual app and a signed version and now it's working like it should.

You must start from the "Voice Search for Google Now" app, not directly in the Google Now app

App is about 90%,& very impressive!

I have both S-Voice & this Google Voice app, which is similar, to both,Siri & the S-Voice app, but in my opinion this Google Voice app is already about as good as Siri, & better than S-Voice. Im sure with a few more tweaks and mods this Googl app will set the bar for apps like Siri & S-Voice. Keep up the excellent work & thanks for making,& keeping, our Epic 4G Touch's still one of the Best devices available to date.

Oh wow, that's easy to pass
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ghisy:
Thanks for that! It works on my Evo 3D!

But is it normal that I don't have cards with pics when I search for something? I press the mic icon, speak my question, press enter. I get the answer but it's not in the "card form" like on JB, it's just text with Google search results underneath it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Charles Collins:
Thanks for the app.

I cannot seem to get the Voice Search to work? I do get the Info Cards when I open the search from the capacitive button lower right but when I try to use the Voice Search for Google I just get the window with the red microphone but it doesn't hear me? I am running SkyICS 4.2 R3 with update 2.6.1B and I know there are guy's running the same thing that have it working just not sure what I need to do to get it to work? Reflash from scratch?

What have you done so far? Did you flash the GoogleSearchBox zip & theo's apk (there's a better apk out today, but I can't remember the name) fix permissions, in your app drawer, do you have a search with a blue microphone (if you do, delete it) It's working great on mine, but I don't know what you've done?

Any news on this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Sorry, guys. The development is frozen for now. I have to do stuff for living. The 2 bucks on donations did not make it :D. But I hope I will get back to it soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] faZevoLv:
Sorry if I seem annoying, but are you still working on this?:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, not for now. I should be kinda free-ish next month, but I am not sure that it is worth it anymore, since the voice now works natively :). But if you feel it differently, I am open to new ideas!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cajunflavoredbob:
People with ARMv6 devices still use this, since only ARMv7 devices support voice search natively.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Oh, I see!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rashed97:
Hi Jonny_G!

Can this be used on ARMv6 devices running Jelly Bean as well or will that need a few more hacks?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Could you try, please? I would like to know but have no such device :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hmzuleta:
Could anyone PM me a personal mirror for the apk? I really need this ):

Edit: Delete please, just found the mirror.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naifaharsy:
its not worked for me..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] headsupsevenup:
It works on HTC Aria. (Armv6)

I get cards with pictures for my questions, I can set alarms and text people.

But the voice no longer replies. I feel like in a previous version, the voice reply worked, but now it just repeats my search.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] headsupsevenup:
This would be great if I could use it without the talkback. Does anyone have an earlier version of this app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
I guess I will update it :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] crackdevelopers:
sad that it suspended
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
I will change few things and re-release.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rashed97:
It doesn't work at the moment. But then again, I don't have Talkback so that might be the reason why it's not working. You said that it needed Talkback, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Finally, I have managed to fix some stuff and remove Google Now references that made the app suspended in a first place. Now, the package name is different, so you have to uninstall Voice Search for Google Now first. Also, the donate model was complete disaster, so I've abandoned it. Just buy it or let it go :).

Changelog

1.3:

- Renamed and repackaged to meet Google Play Android Developer Program Policy and Google Play Android Developer Distribution Agreement (DDA)

- Fixed the bug when sometimes the first search did not work

- It is now possible to turn the voice talkback off

Available on Google Play again!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mixednuts:
Are your sources available?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rashed97:
Can I include this app in my Google Apps for ARMv6 package? I think this will fix Google Now voice issues ;) Still need to test though
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] headsupsevenup:
ugh, the store says it's not compatible with my HTC Liberty :( your previous versions worked fine!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Not for now, due to Google Play licensing library. It wouldn't work anyway.

Because of the reasons mentioned above, it wouldn't work. But I suppose there could be some kind of link to download from Google Play :).

This seems as a weird bug in Android Manifest interpretation. I will update it later today.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, guys, the Google Play and Android itself are becoming terribly flawed. I had to reduce the minimal API level to make it compatible with older devices. However, it will not work on pre-4.0 devices. If you had any issues, please try to download it again.

Changelog

1.3.2:

- Tweaked Manifest and minimal API Level to make this available for older devices with custom 4.0 ROMs

Available on Google Play.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] headsupsevenup:
What do you mean by "It won't work correctly on older versions of Google Voice Search?"

My HTC Aria with CM10 requires (the presumably older) Voice Search from the store rather than the app included in gapps for jb. Will it not work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
I beleive that the Voice Search from Store should be the correct one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kleeanlins:

I have no Money to buy the apk. What I'm gonna do? Put in the mirror again ;/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease could you upload an old version, please? :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Why? The old version only worked every other attempt and the talkback could not be turned off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
How does this app works? I mean..see,

I have android 4.2.2 cm10.1 on armv6 (galaxy ace) with latest(13 feb 2013) google search(google now).

It runs well except the voice search. So if I install this app from market, will it solve my problem?? Will I get a working GOOGLE NOW with VOICE? and will it be online or offline? what are the bugs etc. ?

Tell me ASAP and within 5 mins I'll be purchasing it. :thumbup:

And PLEASE don't say try it yourself and all that!! because i am not going to waste/spend my money for trials :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, you always have the 15-minute refund window :D. However, my answer is: yes and no. You will be able to use voice search with Google Now, but not directly within, as on ARMv7. You will have to go through my app to pass the voice command to Google Now. But there is a desktop shortcut available, and on most devices, it can also be associated with the homescreen search widget, so it is basically zero effort solution. As long as you do not need to make another voice command while already in Google Now - you will have to leave it first or just type the query. Is it clear? I can try to describe it better.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
You described quite well..:) thanks for that

BTW 1 more question, will the voice commands work offline?? I mean your app is so small (<1mb) so will it work offline(using the google now offline data) or only online?

Thanks in advance :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, it might work as long as you have Jelly Bean, but I don't have this tested :-/.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
hmm, ok. I will try it when I will be at home. Probably 4 hrs. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
I am going through a problem here.:confused:

See, I do not have a bank account or debit/credit card etc etc as I just got of 18 years.

So my plan was to use my mom's card to purchase your app but as I am not sure that weather it will work or not, my mom isn't allowing me to 'hit n try' on it. :rolleyes:

So I am thinking that I will purchase your app, make a backup of the apk and then apply for the refund, so that I can test the app and my mom will not suffer the loss too. I assure you that the apk will NOT get leaked and after testing, if it worked well, I will delete the apk and repurchase it from the market.:good:

But before all this I need your permission and hoping that after understanding my problem, you shall permit me for this.

EDIT: Can you please send me the apk, that would be a lot easier for me.:)

Once again I assure you that it will NOT get leaked.:good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
I don't think you can do this on Jelly Bean. All paid apps are encrypted, and I am not sure it can be extracted in form of APK. And if so, the Licensing service does not allow you to use the app with your order cancelled. However, if you e-mail me your GMail address, I can grant you testing access, send you the APK and let you test it for a while. Than I'll delete the testing account (so it stops working) and it's up to you if you purchase it or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
Check PM, sent you my email :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, my signature says "Please do not PM me", but whatever :D.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
Oops, my bad..:p

But I guess you have seen it now :highfive:

EDIT: How do I recieve the testing apk or whatever:confused:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Try installing Google Voice Search from Google Play first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deepesh.tickoo:
Man..!! Finally it worked :)

But it is online :/ Is there a way of getting it to work offline?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Well, the voice recognition can work offline, but the Google Search does not. For obvious reasons :). However, I'm glad it worked. I'm turning off your test account, so I recommend you to uninstall it first and than install again from Google Play.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Since the app is no longer free since the suspension, we were moved to paid apps. The thread is now open again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eden3319:
Are there any plans to make it free again in the future? Really want to try it for my galaxy gio
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Sorry, I have no plans to give the app away for free anymore (because I was disappointed by the donations). And it's already set to the cheapest possible price, so if you want to give it a try, there is no reason to wait :).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eden3319:
I would buy it, it's not as a result of sparing the expense it's very cheap for me, I just don't have any means to buy online as my parents don't trust online websites with their visa cards. However I wish you the best of luck in selling it :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] agstwn21:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Guner24:
Do you have to click on the search icon in google search window or does it automatically search for what u sad?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
You need to click it first :).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Guner24:
Guess i wasent clear enough.

I meant first u click on the assistant icon then speak then it puts the text in the google search window then u have to click on the magnifier icon to search or does it do automatically?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
It used to search automatically, but Google is constantly changing stuff, so I am not sure anymore :-/. I will take a look at it when I have some time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dovidhalevi:
I use this with Overlays! Nearly-invisible shortcuts to the assistant cover Google Search's mic icons. So get the assistant instead and no FC. Works like a charm.

Now, need some means of stopping Google Search from trying to initialize its own voice recognition (which will crash on an armv6 device)? Xposed module? Anybody game?

(Has been done by Google Now for ICS devs, by Rashed97 for JB, but only on older versions. Unfortunately, Google is always changing things and apparently, instead of implementing its cards as HTML5 (render anywhere supported), hard codes them. Yuk!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dovidhalevi:
As stated, this thing works for GoogleSearch as modded for ICS project and by Rashed for JB.

These are OLD.

The latest-and-greatest GoogleSearch and it launcher stub can be sideloaded. Run from its own launcher (Nexus Kitkat), the app will come up and function on JB ROMs. So ... need to use my overlay trick again but this time, no text gets inserted to GoogleSearch. Could the app be updated to enable it to communicate with stock GoogleSearch?

BTW, what does work is Dragon. Used from Swype keyboard, dictate and then tap search.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toucan4267:
xposed?

Hey Johny_G,

Paid user here (in fact I pointed several others your way :) ). I use with KitKat on my optimus S with armv6 (I know, ICS only, but hey, I paid, tried it, it worked, so...) I was wondering if you've heard of/considered xposed framework. With it, you should be able to get your app working with all new versions of Google Now. If you could get this working, I'd be happy to throw a couple more bucks your way ;) . Here's my post on xposed (that no one wants to answer :'( ):http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51410658 . Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sahil3x1:
thanks for that apps will try that
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johny_G:
Hi! Is there anything specific that xposed should resolve? :) Since I have ARMv7 phone now, I've kinda lost the track.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toucan4267:
ARMv6 Up-to-date Google Now

Really just that your app only works on older versions of Google now (2.0 I think). xposed should enable you to get your app working with 3.x.whatever and draw many more downloads.

Thanks for the reply! Let me know if you plan on attempting to get your app working on the newest Now.

I have similar problem. I have tried so many different modems (and roms), the results are basically the same: download at 50~500kbps level, upload at 5000kbps level.

I have AOKP M6 on my Captivate and I do not have slow wifi issues. It's not the rom.

[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
Hi all.

i have noticed something strange.

Basically if you only have less then 2gb space left on your sdcard storage your device will lag REALLY badly. making it almost impossible to use! this has happened to me twice now already and the solution is simple. make sure you have more then 2gb space available.

such a terrible TERRIBLE design flaw on this device
[HTC One X] hamdir:
been discussed already and very possible

the damage is not as bad as you describe

and its a bug as opposed to a "flaw"

we report it to HTC and they will squash it by next OTA
[HTC One X] edge3uk:
Actually hamdir, he described it perfectly. It took me 25 mins to boot my phone and finally get to file explorer to delete some files. It's cripplingly slow...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
which base guys? 1.29 or 2.05?

restarting usually helps
[HTC One X] edge3uk:
For me it was on 2.05, maximus 2.1 and viper roms did it. Restarting did nothing, it takes 10-15 mins just to boot up and being to register touches. Deleting a gig of data, think it was a gameloft game, caused everything to instantly go back to normal and smooth again. Its happened twice with me. The phone become extremely unusable.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yeah happens with me, its not lag but more like extreme slowness to load things especially after you switch from SD store to charge only

but right now i only have 700MB left and i don't have this problem its smooth as butter after i erased cache yest

something is triggering this
[HTC One X] _JT:
Thanks for the tip!
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
well i hope so because htc already crippled the 32gb storage down to around 25gb when you format it and now it seems you can only use a max of around 20-22gb. anything more and your phone becomes unusable!
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Oh come on, you must realise that 32 is total, Rom, phone storage and sd. It beggars belief that anyone on here would not know that. You must also realise that there are overheads such as cache etc that are going to need some space and therefore you can't fill it entirely. Granted 2gb seems a lot but why talk as if any is too much.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
best thing ever on the Sensation XL is the the reserved cache space on the internal, it helps gain massive IO speeds

HTC lowered the reserved cache on the HOX coming from sensation XL

so yes loosing storage is sad, but has its bright side
