#1. you need root permissions to do any of this, so I assume you are rooted.

#2. If rooted then simply ensure that your display/operating mode for your file manager has been switched from read only (RO) to read write (RW) for operation in the the system/lib directory.

#3. You may have to change permissions for the file (I did not) and then you can overwrite it (no!) or rename it and copy

in the newer version (yes!) to the system/lib.

#4. I use Root Explorer to do this -it is the easiest for me. Others have other file managers, the only requirement is that they

can operate or go into the root/read-write mode. (Most can).

good luck

Ok so I have ran a search on this thread but I have not seen this issue brought up yet. It seems that then I go to my direct dial widget to contact someone it does not work. I get a message that says the app is not installed. This was a feature that can with the GS4 and I was able to use direct dial on a number of launchers. Does using this launcher some how disable it? If not can someone drop the apk to direct dial for me? It is so weird because It still appears in my widgets folder but I just cant use it once I put it on a home screen.

Does anyone have the original lib file for for the GS4ATT? I replaced it but was stupid and did not save the original. Now the voice search is stuck on initializing and it was working before with the change the language trick. FML. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] blackguy101:
It is called direct dial. I could of swore the galaxy nexus even have something similar to it. Basically it is a 1x1 widget that you put on your home screen and when you tap the icon then it calls the person. This way you dont have to go to your contacts to look for the person to call

You can open contacts and then select a contact to place on the home screen...that might be effective for this situation...
[Android Apps and Games] darkvice01:
For non-rooted not sure if it will work since mine is rooted..

Ok.. After installing all the required apps.. 1. Just tap and hold the screen then it should give you 3 options go to settings then voice..now change the language to UK.. 2. Go to offline speech recognition download the English UK then download the update English US if you didn't updated it yet.. Then uninstall the English US and update again..3. Switch the language back to English US..

For rooted device. Follow the same steps but before doing the 3rd step.. Download the lib.zip given by OP..extract it.. Then use root explorer then move the libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so to system/lib.. Make sure you remove the original libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so but before deleting it make sure you keep the the original .so file somewhere in your sdcard..then rename the libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so to libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so and then proceed to the 3rd step..

[Android Apps and Games] geoworld_200:
How abt all those who are having problems, try this.

1. Uninstall all threee apks.

2. Make sure u have transfered the ,so file to /system/lib/ (remember to copy the original .so file somewhere in case u wanna revert)

3. Rename the .so file from "libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so" to "libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so"

4. Reboot

5. Install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

6. Install Velvet.apk

7. Install GoogleHome.apk

8. Don't do anything and reboot.

Tell me if this works :)
[Android Apps and Games] hmaster1332:
Thanks for the help but that just redirects to the settings and wants you to click clear default but my issue is that it does not show that it is set as a default. If I go under its name it just says no default set. So how do I fix that?

2 - Velvet.apk ( google search.. ) didnt work ....

SO ...I tried to unistall my default Googgle Search... and rebooted

Not successfull...

So after that i installed - GoogleHome.apk install ( ok )

I rebooted the phone

And then tried again Velvet.apk and....

So for me at least im my case...

1 - back up everything you can

2 - Install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

3 - Install Google HOme 4 -

4 - Unistall Google Search

REboot

install velvet.apk...

[Android Apps and Games] GedBlake:
Hi, hmaster1332...

I suspect the difficulty you're having relates to the fact that the new KitKat launcher doesn't actually run as the default launcher (as you would expect) and that occasionally calls upon Google Search... it's Google Search itself that now runs as the default launcher, with the launcher just running in the foreground. This is why Google Now (a part of Google Search) appears in the far left hand 'pane'.

To clear the new KitKat launcher as default... go to SETTINGS>>APPS>>ALL tab>>scroll down to GOOGLE SEARCH>>tap to enter>>tap on the CLEAR DEFAULTS button.

Upon pressing the Home button... a list of your installed launchers will appear for you to select as your default launcher... including the new launcher from KitKat. Selecting this again, will actually set GOOGLE SEARCH as your launcher.

Hope my somewhat convoluted explanation helps.

Rgrds,

Ged.

Got it work from non-rooted device. Here's what you need to do:

1. Install all app required. After installing each app, open them first before installing the remaining apps. Do this for each app.

2. Go to Google now, then settings, go to voice and change language to UK.

3. Go to offline speech, download English UK and also English US.

4. Go to language then switch it back to English US.

I would suggest to install the launcher app, last.

Cross your fingers.. Enjoy!:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
This works without placing that jni file (in other words, uses the one you already had)?

Since "stock" GoogleSearch is incompatable with my device, * have no "offline speech" settings. Could you find out to where it places those English downloads? This stuff used to be in /system/usr/srec but one could not download them to there without root. I will cheerfully symlink mine to the download-installed location and maybe a miracle will occur :)
[Android Apps and Games] darkvice01:
Yes no need to replace jni file.. Well you need to access Google search app, go to settings then you should see that voice option and offline speech

are you having problems with voice search because i have a very similar device to yours i have the atrix hd mb886
[Android Apps and Games] eckmanmj:
Thank You

I had to register just to post that I got this working on my nearly 2 year old Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro).

I am running Tiny Kernel v5.2 and Cyanogenmod 10.2 M1 Snapshot (11/2/2013).

I loaded all of the APKs listed on the first post and had the Force Close in Google Search like everyone else. I tried the English UK, English US switches with several reboots to no avail. Finally I ended up having to replace the lib file in \system\lib and that finally worked.

I can now get "OK Google" to work from the home screen without physically touching the phone. The new launcher runs very well. I was previously using Nova Launcher and miss some of the customization, but I think I can get used to this. I love the new font.

About the only thing I cant figure out is how to move more than one app from the app drawer to the Home Screen. I like having all of my games in a single "Games" folder and in most launchers, you could multi-select multiple apps all at once and move them at the same time. With the Kit Kat launcher, I had to do it one app at a time which was annoying, but not a huge deal.

I have also loaded the new Hangouts, Deskclock, and Camera apps and all work fine. Its nice being able to use Hangouts to send SMS, but I was already pretty happy with the stock Messaging app, so I might just stick with that. The new clock is different, and Im not sure I like how you set alarms with the rotating clock hand. For me, it was much easier and faster to type the time I wanted my alarm to be at. And finally the new Camera doesnt seem to offer any additional functionality over the old Camera. Thankfully, the new Android Camera app loads separately from the original one, so both are there for me to choose between.

In all, I am amazed at how well these new files work on my almost 2 year old phone. It seems more fluent and with Dynamic Notifications setup, I have the active notifications when my phone is off, like the Moto X.

Great work everyone, and its such a shame that Verizon cant get their act together and allow the Nexus 5. The Galaxy Nexus was actually a pretty awesome device that two years later, I can have many of the features of new phones.

Anyone else having issues with searches being VERY slow? If I reinstall velvet (the search app) my very first search is almost instant. Or if I reboot, my first search is almost instant. All following searches take 5-10 seconds. These are typed searches too, not voice searches (although voice searches take just as long).

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the English-US language pack with no luck.
