Google Now... google gone now

I force stop and disabled mine. Don't really want Google running my life. manual use of all the apps is good enough for me.

maybe later in jelly bean but as for now.. I will pass on giving them free access to my entire phone.

Yeah G-Now's Voice Dialer was of the mark from the get go, so I too disabled it, S-Voice is so much better at recognizing Speech!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
So does it just show up as Google search in application manager? Or are there multiple apks associated with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drahcir0789:
It is Google Search but there are 2 of them though. 1 for the actual search bar and 1 for Google Now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compudizzal:
True.. Google search... the same blue icon as the app.

From what I can tell ya its not as simple as removing the apk. Steve is going to have to decide to remove it or to keep it as there are quite a few files involved. Personally I'm happy with S Voice.

I don't mind Google Now but if it is causing issues with battery drain that is not good either.

S voice's speech recognition blows compared to Gnow. It's much much slower than Gnow as well. The battery drain mentioned earlier is not Gnow related.

Edit: Did I mention Gnow? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
I also like the Gnow speech recognition better, I have had good battery life with it installed except today I drained 24% out of no where, where normally I would be at 94% I was at 70%. I have to admit I had been using Gnow just before that, and I have never had battery drain before. After restarting my phone it went back to normal discharging. So I have no idea if it was related to Gnow or not. I hope not. I actually like Gnow.

Edit: Just to be clear I am not saying the battery drain I had was Gnow related and not some fluke, just stating the instance I had to day. That was the only instance and I have had Gnow on for a few days. But it is something I am going to try to test out a little.

Also I will have my link updated with 4.6 version battery mods soon. Always be sure to pay attention to the version number on my battery mods, if they do not match StrongSteve ROM version DON"T use it. I also might add some icons to my link..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drahcir0789:
Is there a way to turn Gnow into a regular apk file or maybe a flash file? I personally don't use Gnow or S Voice and if it's a potential for a huge battery drain, I would rather not have it included into the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrcollpepper:
You could always go into gnow settings and turn it off if you are worried about it.

All of my files are now Up To Date in my signature link. Includes, Odexed Blue 4.6, any ROM update files, Battery Mods, some SGS3 Tools and also some blue icons that a few expressed an interest in. Enjoy.. and as mentioned before only use my battery mods if the version number on them match Steves ROM version. I try to update them ASAP after I get off work at 11PM.

I FINALLY just installed my themed XDA premium app, big thanks to mpcdata.

For some reason I could not flash the zip. I tried with original app installed and removed, with and without wiping the caches, and nothing.

I then pushed to data/app (where original app was) changed permissions, rebooted and still nothing.

The way I finally got it to install was by pushing the apk to both system/app and data/app, change permissions and reboot.

I have only had to do this one other time on my previous Epic running CM9 with themed contacts.

Is this the normal way that certain apps need to be installed now? Or is there something that I have changed to cause this?

Thank you!

Steve,

Thanks for your work with the Touch and now S3! I only ran your ROMS with the Touch and I am stoked to see you jumping in here! LOVE THE BLUE!!!

I wish you would reconsider TW. I know it kinda' sucked with older version but the updated one is great IMO. If you use Exchange, the mail and task widgets are awesome. I wouldn't care if you themed it! Just sayn'.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schnergun:
ive been waiting for some themed roms. I used your roms on my e4gt and now on the S3. Looking forward to more of your work! Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
It does not sound normal to me. I have pushed apps straight to the system/app with no issues. When you pushed and restarted the phone and you say nothing happened, do you mean you loaded xda and it was not themed still or xda was not found at all? It sounds like you mean the app did not show up in your app drawer at all. Hmm, not sure, I will have to mull it over. If I think of something I will get back to you.

Edit: While I am here, I need to rant. I have been using Google Chrome for awhile now and just lately when I come to the xda site, I have to be about a .25 inch below a link to select it. Guess it is time to switch browsers again.

Oh and Steve, I have now come up with a way to theme WeatherBug Premium with a "Perfect" color match to the notification bar. :p Now that I know exactly the match, I will try to update again tonight.

And MpcData, Thanks for getting to the battery mods before I did, saved me some time tonight :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
OK Steve, as I mentioned I got the perfect color on the WBug temp. 0099ff. Matter of fact it was near perfect before. Problem is for some reason it is getting altered. When you set the icons to blue in settings you will notice the icon looks great, then a second or two latter if darkens. Not sure why. Until we can figure that out this is the best it will be. Notice the two pics attached, you will see a brighter icon and a darker one. The brighter one is as soon as I set to blue, the other is a second or two latter it darkens, It also seems less crisp....:crying: Any Ideas? ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1brainsurgeon:
That's the same thing that happens when making selections in settings menu. Wonder if its somehow related
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneOfOne:
this rom was great but its not great if I cannot update anything in google play. I wiped everything and factory reset and it doesnt make a difference. can get to market but cannot do anything once there. using 4.6 but the problem started in 4.5 also in the 'fixes' when I go to my apps google play books movies and music are there but google play store is not. so I cannot clear settings if the app doesnt show up in 'all' applications
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Ok, not sure if I completely understand. So you can get in the Market? When you're in the Market you can't do anything? Can't see applications, download them or what?

Then if you're in other Play Apps You mean you can't get back to the Market application from there? There should be a Market icon at tge top of the screen from the Play apps.

To clear Market data/cache are you looking for Market or Play Store, it should be Market, under Application Manager.

If it's any help also I have had GNOW on other roms and not experienced the drain...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I know it's been said there are other apk's involved but I deleted velvet.apk when i first installed and my battery life has been the same greatness as always.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jayton:
Did u use root explorer? And where did u find the apk??? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1brainsurgeon:
Root explorer does the trick. Its located in system/app

Edit: If you're removing it, don't forget to remove the odex file beneath it

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

I too have removed it just to see, and got the same great battery life. I like it alot so I put it back where it belongs. I've asked a few questions and started navigation via Gnow. I will post screenies of battery later this evening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I did it so quick. I forget, was there another file in data/app associated with it as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
I just turned Google now off.. then went into the settings and unchecked everything I could find.. seems to be back to normal

No
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1brainsurgeon:
Maybe a flashable in the OP for both? I would suggest baking in the stock search. For those who want Gnow they can flash it, if they don't like it, they can flash back

While you're at it might as well loose Nova and TW launcher.. Jk

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 AM ----------

what is the hex code for the rom color?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Can you be more specific as to what app? Are you referring to the wifi tether app? If so I believe there was a flashable update and a seperate apk to push later... Mine is showing blue..

there should be a 4.5 to 4.6 update, dropbox update, and a tether update (and a seperate tether update, apk only) I already put the apk in the tether update, so you should not need to, if you download from my link. Had you flashed the tether update or only the 4.5 to 4.6 update?

Hex Code for most is 0099ff

Steve, I re-themed the WBug icon set using the white icons, I get the same result. Here are pics from theming from the blue and white icon set. They look the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tymansdaddy:
changing color of icons and widgets

how hard is it to theme icons and widgets? I have some on my phone that i want changed? Any tutorials?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
I'm certainly far from being an expert, but with help from SS I can tinker a bit, but if you only want to change colors, it is not to bad. Just use an app like Paint.net to edit them. You need 7Zip to make an uncompressed copy of the apk in question. The graphics/icons are in \res\drawable-hdpi\ or \res\drawable-xhdpi\ for the most part. Then you can just use hue and saturation to change coloring on graphics. If there is not enough color in the icon to get results with hue and saturation you can first use sepia. You don't want to just bucket fill a color as it will not have all the proper shades. When you get the icons edited the way you want, they need to be copied back into the original apk and then the apk pushed to \system\app or \data\app with the permissions set appropriately. And I am sure there are TUTS around if you want to get more advanced. Hope this helps some.

I have had a few widgets I got a bit more advanced on. But with some patience just using the above mentioned tools I can usually get colors I want.

PS: You can always let me know what you want themed and if I can, I will try to help
