Software update fixes it...by the way and if it still doesn't fix it, try removing the battery directly (means don't select power off on your phone) keep the battery removed a minute or two and reinsert and plug in the charger WHEN THE PHONE IS STILL TURNED OFF!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zemlyanka:
I read that forum and it didn't solve the issue. How did you update the software? Considering there is no charge in the battery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Choice buy a new battery or return to a service centre for repair .

Hello,

I just saw a recharging case for iPhone. Basically you charge the case, when the case is charged, you can take it and when you install your phone in the case it starts charging it. It's very useful for travel.

Is there any charging case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM ? Googling it didn't show me any results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
Yes but it sucks

Also you can find it on eBay. And it covers the noise canceling Mic

Yeah, i'm still fighting only having 14MB free on my /system partition. Are you guys (that got it working) running a deodexed ROM or did you do something else to get more space in there?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I'm on SCV7 so its deodexed. So that gives me some extra space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
then there is the answer to the riddle... no full Google Now for me.. unless you have SCV7
[Motorola Atrix 2] marcher233:
This is a really great news then, and i wish the FINAL ICS coming soon.....

Appreciate for all the hard works of devs, thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
I got it to instal OK. as long as you follow the directions it's not too bad.

Mine is kinda laggy though. Is yours?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
It can be a little buggy at times, but it works fine 90% of the time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
Existing flashable zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?p8avdan0jbjacke

I haven't tried it yet

EDIT: CONFIRMED WORKING , booted into custom recovery, flashed, rebooted...

no need to work on this one dude...its already done...

just make sure you're using SCV7 , not stock ICS as you most likely will not have enough room to install..
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Thanks for the zip!! I'll post it yo the OP. Do know who made it so I can give credit?
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
Looks like perhaps...unless I missed... "Raadius" in the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224&page=259
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
Again, you may want to increase the n00b filter and specify only for SCV7 users too... I don't know if my original ICS build was a fluke, but there certainly was more space in /system after I flashed to SCV7.

Does the google now voice search have a offline voice recognition language pack? I can´t seem to download any language pack like the jelly bean users can...and does anybody know what languages the offline recognition works with?

Edit: working again. Post #2653 from original thread,has help that worked for me. Voice now working for all apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hotweels258:
Can you use it to open links in the browser?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Opening links is kind of hit and miss sometimes...
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Only problem I'm experiencing is sometimes Google Now won't speak back but it shows the correct answers. Any fix?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Updated OP with a new version of the velvet.apk which has a couple of minor bug fixes!
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
missing ?

NO exit option ?

BACK button for exiting the App doesn't work !

correct me if m wrong :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Correct that is one of the bugs. Just use the home button to exit the app.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Silellak:
Awesome! Just got this working on an HTC One X running AOKP 6.3. I made a short video to demonstrate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyXubxmRR7M
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I have updated the OP with a removal zip for those who don't like the bugs and wan't the original search back!
[Motorola Atrix 2] mlaws90:
Can this zip be used on other devices running ICS(in theory of co****)? I've seen your thread linked in other forums and a One X Rom now has fully working Google Now so I thought it was probably from here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yes it should work on other phones on ICS. The original credit for the actual port goes to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224&page=259
[Motorola Atrix 2] mlaws90:
Ok, thanks. It did work perfect, and voice works, not exactly like CM10/JB but close and good enough!
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
I used this zip on my wife's Inspire as well. That's not even running full ICS, but a modded 2.3.5 kernel (i think) with ICS somehow on top, and it works perfectly. So to answer your question, yes. I would imagine there are many branches of the original thread out there now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Interesting... I guess if it's the 3.0 kernel it should work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
Is it normal for Google Voice Search to force close? If not what am i doing wrong. I installed per the directions that you listed above. do we need to clear cache as well or just dalvik cache?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Which app? The Google now voice search or the stock voice search app? What exactly happens when you launch it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
So I will have google now opened but when I try to use the stock voice on it force close. Let me try to install it again and maybe that will fix the problem. But I pretty much lost all function of using voice search.
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
This is a known issue, with a fix...check your language and input settings...you should have two google voice input options, you want the first(top), not the second...

Also, make sure under output you have google text to speech for your default text engine or you will see FCs. Your voice input prompt should be black, not white.

I personally had another tts engine and it was also causing the FCs....the new engine is fantastic anyway and much better than Ivona or any others you previous needed with 2.x

once you make those adjustments you should be good to go...
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Updating OP with a BIG update. It fixes the double take problem, adds auto launch, and fixes the distorted search results!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
OP Updated!
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
good job staying on top of things man...
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Yea I really appreciate the speedy updates.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
So i just tried to install it again, and when the phone reboots the phone shows "unfortunately voice search has stopped" and every time i try to open it says the same thing. I haven't even opted to use google now too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thcue:
I'm having the same problems as you also.

Did the above picked the top Google voice typing and made sure Google was the output.

*Currently using CM9 4.0.4
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Go to the Google market and uninstall voice search or either go to settings>> apps >>> and find voice search. Uninstall it. No this shouldn't effect anything
[Motorola Atrix 2] thcue:
Now only have one Google voice in the settings but still the same crashing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Which way did you try to uninstall it? Try going to the market and uninstalling it . Then reboot
[Motorola Atrix 2] thcue:
Tried both ways. Going to try a fresh install of cm9 and gapps then uninstall voice and add mod. Cross fingers haha
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Hmmm that should work. You're cm9 for ATRIX 2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] thcue:
Na OneX people on our thread are saying it works but I think not for CM9 but our AOPK it is working for.. odd. I just went back to CM10 for now. Go work though. :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
I thought it worked . On the first page this topic some guy posted a video of Google now working on his one X. I think it was cm9
[Motorola Atrix 2] thcue:
Yes that's what I thought to, But I just did (Wipe completely) then the fresh install of CM9/reboot then installed Gapps/reboot then this mod/reboot and still FC out. -shrugs-

EDIT just looked at the video is was on a HOX but using AOKP 6.3. not CM9 bummer I know they are so close platforms to..
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Awww man that sucks. I wonder why it's working on the ATRIX 2 but not cm9..? Idk I'm not a dev to figure it out
[Motorola Atrix 2] Silellak:
Yeah, it was AOKP 6.3 on the One X.

Unfortunately, the latest build seems better for me in some ways and worse in others. For example, if I launch Google Now through an Apex gesture, my voice searches don't return any results. It works fine if I launch it by holding the "multitasking button" which has been re-mapped to the menu key, though.

Also, regardless of how I launch it, I can't seem to set alarms anymore. The voice says "setting alarm", but I'm never actually given the option to set it.

Anyway, I don't mean to sound ungrateful - it's awesome that we can even get to play with this! Just reporting issues I've seen :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
The new build is working flawlessly for me. I just tried setting an alarm and it worked. If you haven't already, flash the version 8 zip
[Motorola Atrix 2] Silellak:
Hm, yeah, that's what I flashed. Maybe it's because I'm on the One X, but I figured I'd ask :)

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Ah, alarm setting seems to work, but only if I manually refresh after tapping the mic icon or saying "Google" (which I seem to have to do every time I want to do a voice search).
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Yea I have to say Google before and then ask the question if I want get voice back. But when I want to know the weather or a definition of something I don't have to. But it doesn't bother me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
I installed the new update and it has gone haywire. Voice search works per say, but the screen stays blank.

If i say how tall is B.O it'll tell me but no info shows on the screen.

If i say navigate to Disneyland, it'll say "navigating " but the screen stays blank.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I've been experiencing that too.. working on a fix
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Did everyone here wipe their dalvik cache first? I swear it's working flawlessly for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
The problem arisies when you try to do a voice search if you're already in google now
[Motorola Atrix 2] thomas101:
I just download the new update during install i still see v7 is it been updated yet? I couldn't get it to work it crashed when i open the voice search.

Unfortunately, Google search has stopped. message
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
I went as far as restoring to base scv7 and starting from scratch.

Still no luck, so i went back to v7 of your zip and im back to working flawlessly. I made the mistake of not having a restore point prior to trying this, i wont make that mistake again!
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
quick question.. will the installer work for other devices? I have an HP touchpad running CM9 nightlies, and even though they have a how to on the google now also, I thought it would be easier to just download 1 installer and follow updates from one location.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
It should work on all ICS devices.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kc92iyngr:
I am on v7 so do i need to clear the prev version and then install the v8??
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
No... V8 will overwrite the files from v7
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
I installed v8 and followed the OP to a T and I am getting the "Unfortunately Voice Search has stopped" error. Is there something else I should be doing to get this to work. I tried uninstalling Google Voice search as well (restarting after). And still the same thing, how did you guys get this to work?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I'm gonna be pulling V8. It's been causing too many issues. Try reflashing V7 that should get rid of the fc. If you don't have it I'll put it back up in a couple.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Fyi, i tried to flazh v7 over v8 and had no luck.

The icons showed but it said app not installed.

I had to restore back to stock SCV7 and start from scratch.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
It should work.... you should of tried flashing it twice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
ehh thats alright. good practice....
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Updated OP!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Updated with New Version!!! New Version includes:

No Double Take (reloading results 2)

Auto Launch

No Stretched/Invisible Search results!

Note: Now If the app ever freezes just hit the menu button and click refresh and everything will be back to normal.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Version 9 over version 7 worked like a charm. Thanks!!! Here I come my iPhone friends!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] X3remes:
Lol... love the iPhone friends bit. They must be hating on you for all the Google Now goodness you bring!
[Motorola Atrix 2] seedoubleyou:
I too had to revert to v7, and glad to see you continue to be on this man... downloading updates now...would have earlier..but my grandfather passed on..been other things going on...

Will let you know how it all goes. Again, many thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Install v9 rev1 it works pretty much perfectly for me!
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Seems to be working great!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
v9rev1 works GREAT!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
The force closing of google voice search has stopped after installing v7 and v9r1. Thanks for the updates!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Drgravy:
V9 seems to be working great

I asked it if i needed an umbrella

she said no and here is the weather

Cool

Thanks farshad
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Ha!! I asked the same thing. This is too frickin cool!
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
Why do I keep having problems?! My problem now is after installing it and I try to do voice search it just sits there with some dots and doesn't do the search.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
First try this and report back:

1.)Open a file maneger (ES File explorer should do... or try Solid Explorer which is way better in my opinion!)

2.) Navigate to system/usr/srec and make sure that both folders there (config and en-US) have their permissions set to drwxr-xr-x or looks like this

3.) If it doesn't change it, if it does leave it alone.

4.) Reboot into bootmenu

5.) Go to advanced---> Fix permissions

6.) Reboot

IF THAT doesn't work try below and report back

1.) Flash the Google Now Remover

2.) Reboot

3.) Wipe Dalvik

4.) Flash Google Now v7

5.) Reboot

6.)Flash Google Now v9
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
Thanks for the quick response. I tried to do the permission change and when i look at the permissions for both of them they say: rwx r-x r-x. where does the d come from? All the check marks are in the same positions. And then i tried to fix permissions in bootmenu and i tried again, and it does the same thing. I will try the second method you mention tomorrow since i am busy for the rest of the night. Thanks for the quick reply by the way.

EDIT: so i tried to reinstall everything like stated in your second set of directions and it still does the same thing. Maybe i will wait for the next update and hold off on voice search.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
All I'm getting is the standard Voice Search for ICS.... have tried running through the OP install twice over.... also checked Perms.... what am I missing here?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Did you use the BloatRemover zip? The likely problem you're having is not enough space in system...
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
Yup. According to SpareParts>Data Storage I have 12.30 MB free on System now. Had to resync gmail. So I'm pretty sure the debloat worked.

Steps I took....

1. Place all Zips in clockworkmod (my exact path is SDCARD/clockworkmod/Google Now - i have all 4 zips in there.)

2. After running a nandroid backup, wipe Dalvik, install Bloatware Remover, reboot

3. Custom Recovery, wipe Dalvik, install GNow v7-farshad, reboot, waited for cache to finish, then gave it another 10 min (stupid job.. lol), reboot

4. Custom Recovery, wipe Dalvik, install GNow v9r1, reboot, waited for cache to finish and android to load.

Long Press Search - Pulls up stock ICS voice search.....see image.

Also noticed 2 "Google Voice typing" in Lang& Input

Was never asked to set a default app either.

Total srec directory size =34.13MB w/ 44 files and 7 folders

Perms for srec and subdir & files = 755 (drwxr-xr-x)

Owner and Group = root
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
huh... can you go into a file maneger and go to system/app and scroll down to velvet.apk and give me a screen of that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
Here ya go!

Thank you so much for the help!

As a side note... I got Now working on stock leak before I flashed SCv7 from the original thread... back on 7/18 when they were still replacing velvet.apk with GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk

No voice response with that, but it still pulled up Cards and what-not.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Ok so it's not a space problem....

what happens when you press the search button?

And is there an app called Google in your app drawer?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
..... :eek:

*is an idiot...........

Kept Long pressing search...... needed to short press....

*bangs head on desk*

I'm sorry!!!! I was messing with this at the same time out bright Medical Record company decided to make their server the PDC and DNS..... over top of our CURRENT and RUNNING PDC and DNS...... :crying:

I'm so sorry for taking up your time Farshad!!!!!!

You get all of my "Thanks" for the day...lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
No problem happens to the best of us ;)

Also if you wanna get long press voice search working

1.) launch voice search (long pressing search button)

2.) Press home button

3.) Long press home button for recent apps

4.) Press and hold on voice search

5.) Hit app info

6.) Scroll down

7.) Press clear defaults.

8.) Long press search again

9.) check use as default and hit google!
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
Awesome!!!

I really can't thank you enough Farshad!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] ChongoDroid:
Just curious, is there any change from v7 to v9.1 other then the updated velvet.apk? Just wondering if I could drop the 9.1 velvet apk into the v7 zip and flash that? Thanks for all your work :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Its just the apk. You can just drop the V9 apk into V7. Why do you need to do that though ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ChongoDroid:
I was just wondering if there was still a need to do two flashes. If I can plunk the app with the v7 libs then it should effectively be the same thing right? Btw this works on odexed sense ROMS. We're flashing these over at the ATT HTC one X forums.. and from me and on behalf of the one X users we thank you. I started a thread with instructions for the noobs and apparently v7 libs with the latest velvet apk seems to be working great. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yeah... on the ATRIX 2 unless we flash the V7 apk and then the V9 apk we would get force closes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ChongoDroid:
Interesting. Well I just tested 9.1 apk in with the v7 libs in one zip and all seems well on our side. However our devices are very different so who knows why it's doing that. I did have fcs on v8 but changing to v7 libs again fixed it. I'll test just flashing the 9.1 zip and see what it's like for performance and report back. Thanks again for this, it's one of my favorite features! :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Updated OP with zipaligned apk's for better overall performance! (zipalign=less laggy)!
[Motorola Atrix 2] DemosZevasa:
Should be already zipaligned if I have SCV7 with zipalign on boot right?

Sent from my locked MB865
[Motorola Atrix 2] dickluo:
Can it use on GB with deodex system?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
If that's the case then yes. I didn't know that SCV7 zipaligned apk's on boot.

I am 100% not sure... I believe the library files are for ICS only..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Is zipalign the only difference in the latest update or are there other changes? I am currently running v9rev1.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
zip align is the only difference in v9rev2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kc92iyngr:
Force close any soln.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
I think he may need more info than that, like which version are you using and what actions cause the force close.

The latest version has not been force closing for me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vlbasten:
works great, thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dumgum89:
