Hmm. No, because sound hound is not patented or something like that and it's completely different than Google sound search widget..

If the soundhound would be made by apple then it would be already in court.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Hmm. What's the system language that you are using on you phone? If it's not English then try it in English (united states) language.. Maybe then it works correctly..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drraptor:
Yes had it been apple :P

Gives an error when I try to flash the zip, running latest Slim Bean with Siyah kernel and TWRP recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Is it jelly bean 4.1?

The flashable zip may work only on jelly bean 4.2.#+ because of the multiuser partitions obb, legacy, 0

ICS flash able zip can be flashed but I recommend to delete lib folder if you are going to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kryzeK:
Bro, work in CM10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Yes this works on CyanogenMod ROMs (CM9.#,CM10.#)

_____________________________________________________

and maybe even on B2G it may work because it's based of ICS..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theiNDrAs:
So we have to change the system language to English (United States)?

I already choose that language by default, but still have no luck either...

this apps always frozen after restart & the widget also gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
No, but it may fix the issue.. if e.g. using Estonian language and Google Ears does not have that language then it may use English language or then widget is not working at all..

I don't know why this freezes for some people but for me it's still working well and now I'm trying to modify Google search that have Google Ears included but no luck with that..

if you download the ICS flashable zip and flash it then maybe it does not freeze.. the .zip for ICS have the two lib files that is needed for Google Ears.. on stock Jelly Bean ROMs should already be the files if them are not removed..

If you want I can send you another one with "state_pressed_true" modified to false.. but hardly it fixed that issue..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dublade:
Does not work for my device.

I put a copy inside /system/app folder, I changed permissions like other apps inside this folder (-rw-r--r--) because I've not found any specific permission instruction from you.

A message from Android told me that "some app" will be substituted, so I pressed OK and then rebooted.

After boot I've not found any widget on my desktop neither from widget system (long press on desktop...)

I rebooted again as suggested but same situation.

Country: Italy

Model: GT-I9100

Android version: ICS 4.0.3 (Stock)

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPF-CL592261 (with CF-Root)

Good job anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
You are using ICS 4.0.3, Then you need to flash the ZIP for ICS that includes libvorbisencoder.so and libvorbisidec.so to be able use it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theiNDrAs:
that's okay, dude...

i'm using cm10 but maybe i have no luck with this app...

keep up your good work and keep sharing another great mods :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK!

I have never used CM9.# or CM10.# so I don't know how this works on CM ROMs but I know this works if CM10 have the lib files!

but you just said CM10 so I think CM10 does not have included libvorbisencoder.so and libvorbisidec.so that is needed for using this widget!

As what I know CM7 and newer does not include Gapps so it may explain why it'snot working correctly!

If you want you can try to add the lib files to CM10 /system/lib/ and then Google ears should work well!

Here is .zip for CM10: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxlYDVLp_RkMNHUtM2RqRm1HZGM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Flash-able .Zip for CM10/CM10.1

So just few minutes ago I realized that CM10 does not have those lib files because Google apps are deleted from CyanogenMod ROMs!

Sorry guys! :DD

Here is the flash-able ZIP for CyanogenMod 10 and 10.1, for CM9 use the .zip for ICS!

Hi, trying to make this work.

I run Minco v5 maguro ROM, based on JB 4.1.2, Italy.

I tried to flash the .zip package but didn't work, so I tride the .apk

I downloaded it, put it in system/app, gave it permissions, rebootd, installed the app.

Then as soon as i installed it i tried to search the wodget but It wasn't there, and also i couldn't find tha App on the app list in settings.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I think that custom ROM does not have included Gapps!

Try to flash the CM10 flashable zip, it have the necessary lib files!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidkoleda:
I' think ROM has gapps, anyway I tried to lash CM10 .zip but it says installation aborted after a few seconds...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Then flash the ICS version!

Or you can move the files manually and to change permissions!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidkoleda:
Just tried ICS. zip but it says installation aborted (status 0); i did not understand when u said extract files and give permission: where do i have to put the files and what permission should i give them?

Perfect

Hello, i've tried to download and install the flashable zip with no luck (on last TWRP), then i've retried with the apk way and everything is perfect, thank you! I really don't understand why google doesn't make it work in Italy by default even if we've finally got google music working...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
Does it work via google now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordvader1982:
I tried via google now, but got nothing (though the widget does work)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sensation-al!:
okay. this seems to work pretty well. extract your sound search apk from system/app and sign it with zipsigner (testkey) delete from /system/app, reboot, install signed apk. voila!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
This is what I do. But it will only work if you have the correct libs in your rom.

....memoirs of a flash addict.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Actually, here is one with the libs cooked in. Install like a normal apk. Make sure you delete the one in /system/app first, then reboot. This will work on any rom from ics to jellybean.

....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
In Google now the sound search is included to the .apk and it's no not using Google ears apk...

I have tried to modify it but no luck at least yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Sorry double post....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Copy files from zip to pc and then move them to galaxy nexus.

You need root and file Manager with root.

Move lib files to /system/lib/ and GoogleEars.apk to /system/app/

Change those files permissions:

Ok i'll try today, thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Try my apk posted a few posts back. Go to /system/app on your phone, delete google ears.apk. Reboot. Install my version just like any other app. You won't see the app in the app drawer because its a widget only, but the widget will be in the list. Is called sound search.

....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
It's only widget, so you don't see it from app list!

I don't know why don't you see that.

go to /syste/app/ via file manager and press GoogleEars.apk and let it to install it and then go to apps drawer and from that widgets, it's called to "Sound Search" almost the final widget in widgets drawer...

If you don't see that then I recommend you to change ROM and then install the widget if you want the widget..

I see it on my ZTE Blade and on my Jét with my ported ROM (ARMv6 devices) CM10 and CM9, with no problems only ting is that I can't search music via Google Ears on ARMv6 devices... if this works on my Nexus, on my Blade and on my Jét then it should work well your phone with JB 4.1.2

Did you wipe Data and cache from Google Ears?

Your widget is just themed and resigned?

So your version won't work any way better!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidkoleda:
:crying::crying::crying::rolleyes:eek:K sorry i'm complete noob, i thought the name of the widget was Google and smth else so i did never go beyond "G" page in widgets' list, so sorry... Anyway now i have np, i rebooted and all things work fine!

Thanks again for your help!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK No problem!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
Wait a minute....

Installing this apk on an otherwise stock device will result in a loss of ability to install stock android updates, since it's a modified system app, won't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Then the OTA updating may fail, like always when using modified system app..

But that can always be fixed by installing old original app back from the stock same ROM which you can find from internet (yakju/takju)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g-lock_dk:
works on my HTC one x (everything stock)

just transferred the apk by bluetooth and installed

is WORKING in Denmark
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Actually, its not themed at all but it does have the libs cooked into the apk, so it will work on any device running ics and above just by installing as a standard user app, which by the way will solve the ota update issue also.

....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
No probs. Put it in your op if you like. I just think its easier this way than flashing libs and system apps that might break some other functionality.

....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, I can put it to OP post.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK Thank You for sharing the link!

I check later the files and I try it on my ZTE Blade!

You also need the libvorbisidec.so but that is not for ARMv6 devices, but it may fix freezing issue..

inside the .apk is the libvorbisencoder.so so later I check the file and I try to make it work on ARMv6 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Version 1.1.7 uploaded...

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Version 1.1.7 from Play Store (Modified like the older one)

I was not able to recompile apk so I replaced the .xml file that is exact same in v1.1.3 and I have resigned and zipaligned the v1.1.7

Google Ears v.1.1.7 is in the attachment as "GoogleEars-v1.1.7.apk" <--- It's recommended to rename it to "GoogleEars.apk"

Lib files (for those who want to replace or add them to /system/lib/

libvorbisidec.so , Another Link

libvorbisencoder.so , Another Link

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f3d3b:
First of all, thank you very much for your work! ;)

On Samsung i9100 CM 10.1 (Italy) it works by manually pushing GoogleEars.apk and libvorbisencoder.so in /system, whereas the zip didn't - gives an error when I tried to flash it through CMW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
:)

Does your I9100 have /0/ and /mnt/shell/ partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f3d3b:
Not both of them. No /0 partition, but yes for /mnt/shell.

Btw Im running the official "unofficial" CM 10.1 for i9100.

Thanks again for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Ok, np. :)

I don't know really much about the updater script but it should have to work on jelly bean 4.2.# devices without giving error. I check the script file later and if something needs fixing then I try to fix the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f3d3b:
It gives this error in CMW

"[...]/GoogleErasCM10.zip

(Status 6)

Installation aborted"

As I said, manually pushing the apks worked for me.

I can try to look at the code. Maybe it's just a ";" missing. ;)

I found this: http://boardreader.com/thread/update_zip_error_status_6_677jjXi0hq.html

But looking the EOL formatting of your updater-script is correct.

Instead I found that my busybox is located in /system/xbin/busybox, but there aren't any links in the /sbin directory.

I don't know if this could help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, unfortunately I don't know nothing about "error status 6"! :D

but good that moving apps manually or pushing is another methods that will work if CWM zip does not work. :P

I'm not sure but this may cause the error:

ui_print(" :) "); <-- the smile in center... :d
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f3d3b:
It's not even a busybox problem. I tried linking it manually to /sbin (not sure if the link was there before).

Installation failed in CMW. But no more Error 6.

I will try deleting the ":)" and flashing the modified zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
ok. :)

I have not tested the zip for CM10 yet because I try to modify systemUI.apk.

at least the .zip without lib files worked for me.

when I have more time then I can create another flashable .zip with another script text.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f3d3b:
I'm on CM10.1.

Ok, the problem was not the smiley, but the " "

I modified this line

ui_print(" Jelly Bean "What's This Song?" Widget ");

into

ui_print(" Jelly Bean What's This Song? Widget ");

and now it works :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, Thanks!

I didn't even notice that! :D

I gonna fix the updater script and update the download links!

Hey thanks for this can I have the same on my other phone HTC one v running unofficial cm10 the zip didn't worked for it

Please just help me by saying which files should I manually push to get this awesome feature on my one v too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Yes you can.

I am on rooted Nexus 7. Installed the 1.1.7 app second time from system/app, restarted and still not supported in this country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
For me it is still on my Nexus and not frozen so it works.

Wipe Google Ears data and cache and then uninstall it!

Download and rename the GoogleEars-v.1.1.7.apk to GoogleEars and then move it to /system/app/ then change permissions to rw- r-- r--

Download lib files and move them to /system/lib/ and overwrite existing libvorb..*.so file if something exists, change permission to rw- r--r-- and go to /system/app/ and install the GoogleEars.apk then reboot and go to Widgets drawer and choose "Sound Search"

It can't be updated via Google Play store and it can't freeze it itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeus.k1987:
Or you can install the Market Enabler and fake your carrier. I tried it and it works here in india. After installing Market Enabler choose a USA career like tmo and enable the sound search app from play store. You are good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
But that won't keep Google Ears any way better save of freezing, it just enables the apps from Play store and you have to do same again after restarting if you want to see those apps from play store again..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeus.k1987:
Well i never have to enable any apps again after restarting or reboot. I'm using many apps like field trip, google ears, play music, google Earth etc. Never had a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I didn't speak about app enabling..

Market-Enabler is an application to fake the phone's location and access markets from other countries and not to enable frozen apps permanently!..

only Google apps that is unsupported in some countries will be frozen!

Google Earth will not freeze itself in any country because it works everywhere!

field trip is not Google's app

With market enabler you can download it but every boot you have to unfreeze it..

My modified version v.1.1.7 is from Play store, as you can see when you choose my apps you don't see it in that section but if you have used market enabler and downloaded it from play store then you can see the app in "ALL" sections but you can't download it..:

Are you using the transparent version?

This is only for ARMv7 devices and won't work on ARMv6 devices like ZTE Blade, This can be installed to ARMv6 device but this won't work on ARMv6 devices, it will freeze or stop working when you try to search music!

I'm using this myself too and it's not freezing, so you did something wrong.

I installed the zip package for cm10, checked if the libs and apk got permissions and everything seems to be ok or I have to replace the libs?

Nope!

Just replace manually the GoogleEars.apk in /system/app/

I'm not really sure how the .zip file works because I made it a long time ago..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] progosu:
looks like I'm gonna have to without it... what I did was:

downloaded v1.1.7

copied to system/apps -rw -r -r, then installed it

then I replaced the libs with -rw -r -r

rebooted my phone, it's frozen, sigh that's too bad cuz it's probably the best music identification app

downlad libvorbisiencoder.so and put it to /system/lib/

put this permission: (0664) or what it is: rw- r-- r--

Then reboot

Now install GoogleEars.apk (the older one) as normal app!
