Is there anywhere that I can find Galaxy Apps without extracting it from a previous version? Without Galaxy Apps, you cannot get Ok Google working (it needs to download some voice files for s-voice, which you can only do through Galaxy Apps)?

I found the s-6 version online, but it won't install.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] modmandan:
I had the same issue, I personally don't think it should have been removed from this rom, but there ya go. It took a bit of searching on Google to find the apk file. I absolutely had to have it to setup my Gear S watch, and it was a pain.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Where did you find it? I am scouring the V2 rom trying to find it, but haven't yet. I really could use it. Can you remember the webpage you downloaded it from? Or do you still have the .apk?

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Ok, I figured it out.

To get Ok Google working with voice commands, you need to run through the s-voice setup and downloading of voice files. This is done via Galaxy Apps, and since this app was removed we cannot use ok Google. To get around it, you need to download and reinstall Galaxy Apps to the system files (not simply installing the .apk, that won't work). The following worked for me:

1. Extract the V2 Alliance Rom. You will navigate to: System/Priv-app/GalaxyApps_3xh and copy that folder and .apk inside.

2. Copy the folder and the .apk inside to the same folder (priv-app) within your V3 ROM. You will need to use a file browser with root R/W privileges.

3. After you copy the folder and .apk, assign the following permissions:

FOLDER: Read-Write-Execute///Read-Execute///Read-Execute

.APK: Read-Write///Read///Read

Reboot and you are golden.

This is the same procedure that is used to install the s-health folder needed for Samsung syncing of your health data. In that case it was Samsungservice2_xxxhdpi and the .apk inside (same permissions).

Thanks for this, I needed both

I am using OK Google on this rom and didn't need to extract anything from anywhere. I do use Nova because I dislike the tw launcher.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoeBear1975:
Nova rocks on here, that's what I use too, lol

WOW im super impressed by this Rom and all the choices and the way it runs very smooth and endless choices fot customizations, #im in love!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] macknificent1:
Great great rom! The only question i can think of is, How do i activate the side key panel? I pressed the toggle, it lit up, side key panel didn't show.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxxxr1:
I'm having the same issue. I'm using Pie Control from the Play store and works great as an alternative for home button and more.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I'm not sure how you managed that, unless you just updated to V3 without a clean install. I use Nova too.

OK Google has always relied on s-voice for functionality on the Touchwiz Note Rom. You disable s-voice, you have no OK Google. On my clean install, I had to run through the s-voice setup which required downloading language packs through the Galaxy Apps program.

If you did a clean install, then I don't know. But my office mate's phone had the same issue on Alliance V3 and installing Galaxy Apps fixed it too. In fact, as far back as I can remember you had to run through s-voice setup prior to finishing the voice training for Ok Google.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bellefotopervoi:
I so love this rom!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bellefotopervoi:
Customizing the look is infinite!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slaldrich:
Not sure what is going on with your situation but I am telling you the truth: I did a completely clean install of this ROM (v3) and did nothing-at-all to get OK Google to work (except enabling it within the Nova settings which also links you to confirm Google settings).

I have also tried a clean install of Echoe Rom and Vision-X and OK Google worked fine with Nova there, too, with no tweaking gymnastics. (um..... hate to ask, but did you enable it in Nova settings? :) )

I am also thinking that your assessment of the connection between s-voice and OK Google may be incorrect. Sometime after installing this ROM, I disabled s-voice (because it is sad and pointless in my setting) and OK Google continues to work fine.

I also have never had to do any voice-training on any device to get OK Google to work with a launcher that supports it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I believe you, I am just telling you my experience and what I see. I am well aware of how to turn on Nova's hotword detection. I am not even sure why you are bringing Nova into the equation, as I never mentioned it to be part of my problem. Anyway, positively Ok Google doesn't work with the stock launcher with s-voice disabled. The option to turn it on is greyed out (see 1st screen shot).

Nova also doesn't work reliably with the screen off like the native functioning. This is likely related to Nova's inability to correctly access the specialized companion core during a low power state (I'd bet there is a minor hit to the battery as well). I am trying it now, and it isn't going to do it. Turn s-voice back on, and I can wake it from across the room every time.

If it works for you when the phone screen is off, they yay! You can see in the screen shots that using Ok Google is only available with the screen

on

or

while charging

through Nova (2nd screen shot), while through s-voice you can use it specifically with the screen off or on (3rd screen shot). I am not sure why it is like this, maybe you know? I wouldn't mind using Nova for Ok Google if I could get it working with screen off. It seems like the Ok Google that Nova uses is the latest version (notice the option to use your voice as a password), but they disable hotwords while screen off. Maybe Sammy uses an older version for s-voice that keeps the hotword while screen off.

In any case, you are advocating that a solution to the ok Google problem is for an individual to simply use Nova. While Nova is a great launcher (I use Nova Prime), it may not be for everyone. My solution gets Ok Google working for the stock launcher, which is broke without Galaxy Apps.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slaldrich:
Sorry for my blather. I was trying to be helpful.

If you look back, my original response was simply

"I am using OK Google on this rom and didn't need to extract anything from anywhere. I do use Nova because I dislike the tw launcher." You responded that I must have done a dirty-flash of this rom to get those results...

So, my last response was simply to tell you what I did, not to offer Nova as an ultimate solution.

As for the other issues with Nova you mentioned, that is way out of my league. :) I just use it. I have been working with computers and giving tech support to Windows users since the 1980s... but I am just getting my feet wet in this rooted-android environment. I will be watching to see if you find answers. I'm always learning.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was trying to be helpful but did not succeed.

Has anybody been able to disable that obtrusive Sprint Spark icon? Or know of an xposed module that does it? I tried the one that lets you change the 4g and LTE symbols on the fly, and that didn't work.

The native Alliance manager data icon changer doesn't really work either. The best I could do was to get rid of the outside of Spark, but it left the middle dot, which wastes space. I so wish Sprint would either get rid of the Spinner or get rid of the LTE icon. Who needs both?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lacoursiere18:
Can I see a screen shot of what you are referring too? What do you mean the data icon changer doesn't really work? Does it not change?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
This is what he is referring to. The sun ☀ shaped icon next to lte.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lacoursiere18:
Ahh so yea that will not change with the data option in alliance control.. Do you want it gone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
My guess is yes.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sliverr7x:
I second that don't need it its kinds a waste of space just my 4 nickles
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
Would be nice if you could just turn it on/off like the battery percent.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Hi, yes if it is possible it would be nice to not have it. Most of the settings for data icon don't seem to work correctly. For example if you select at&t, some of the word 4G overlaps LTE (see very top of the attached images, you can barely see it. All the selections have some degree of overlap I think).

All of the settings still leave behind the center dot of the spark, but don't actually get rid of it matter what type you select.

Perhaps next version this could be implemented if you wish to consider it.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kongoll:
Hello, I installed this rom the day before that oe1 update hit. I'm guess it didnt actually download since my kernel is listed as 3.10.40-4243283 DPI@SWDD5613 #1 ? Is that the original kernel with this rom? Would that read BOB7 if the update did go though? Also if this update did not install I should not have any issues installing emotion kernel or viper should I ? Sorry for the newbish questions just trying to get a definitive answer since my research yielded more questions than answers.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lacoursiere18:
Yea I can definitely look into it thanks for the heads up
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
He may be running download booster. I know it causes overlap.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ipodhacked86:
I thought download booster doesnt work due to sprints end?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
Doesn't…but is still included on some roms…
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I am not running download booster.

Here is the T-Mobile data icon overlap. Doesn't really bother me, I just use the stock icon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I think what is happening is that the alternate data icons are posting as expected, but the stock LTE icon is not disappearing...hence the overlap. Attached is the Verizon icon.

I also notice that when the icons are changed to another type, it will cycle between sprint's icon only, and a few minutes later switch to the one you have chosen overlapped with the stock. It cycles back and forth like this the entire time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] modmandan:
One more question about themes. Is there an easy way to reset all colors back to stock?

Ive messed with my theme settings so much that my settings menu text is invisible due to linking and unlinking colors with theme colors.

It's not a matter of relinking colors, just want to start over.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Yeah, just go back to the themes section. First part is Alliance Manager, then upload-download themes.

One is called OfficialNote4StockTheme. Install that one. It is as close as you can get to stock I believe.

If your on OE1. Latest update, I hope you made a backup. You can't flash any bob7 roms. Or kk. Only oe1,however there are none. Aosp is ok. Anyway TX is working hard to get a fix. Look in the section of hybrid x.

What rom did you install? It wasn't a Touchwizz stock bob7 was it? As far as we know that isn't possible.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] daddynic12:
It was notorized stable. I flashed that one after i had issues with this one and it went smoothly. I just wasn't feeling it. So i went and installed my recovery and went back to stock lol.

Maybe not having Samsung connected is a good idea. Read their new terms and realize what we have always thought was happening happens. They keep track of everything including log in information. Google always says that gigantic file they keep on us all can only be seen by you. You with the G mail login info.

wallpaper issue

So im running alliance V3 have had this rom since day one. Originally i had an issue with the wallpaper not updating it stays the same. I would do the wallpaper fix and it was fixed. However im now having the issue again and this is on a clean 3x wipe install. The issue is my alliance manager has no wallpaper fix option anymore. Anyone have any advice?

I hate that it is so difficult to find get a theme working 100%. That is very frustrating. It's always something that is hard to read. I just want to be able to change theme anytime I want and not have to worry about trying to figure out which setting is which. I don't need anyone saying oh if you don't like this ROM then go some where else or make your own etc. I know it takes work to put a ROM together. But it is very frustrating when you guys advertise that this theme manager but it does not work properly.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lacoursiere18:
Lets start with this first..

What theme are you using?

What is hard to read?

Look, its very easy to complain. It takes little effort though to post a screen shot and be like "Hey guys, anyone know where this color happens to lye?" DONE! You'll more than likely get a response from me or another user here.

We have noticed since we created the upload/download feature for the theme manager that the user's themes, how do I say this, have not been "steller" "up to par" so to speak. So if it is one of those, than I can't help you..

If it's a theme advertised in the OP, then I can do my best to assist you and you can assist me by telling me whats wrong with it. Therefore, next update I can fix the issue and there will be less of them. Cool?

The one thing that pisses me off, and I am not pointing my finger at you by ANY means, is when a user post a issue without a picture or a log. How I am, who does not have this phone, going to help them?? I can't.. So you guys need to put in a little more effort bc I have pretty much have done all I can with what Iam handed..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] .Bambino:
Your 100% right. I was just frustrated about the situation and I acted out upon emotions I was feeling at that time. Instead of complaining and letting my frustration get the best of me, I should have taken a screenshot and said Hey anyone know how I can make this readable. I apologize for that. Right now I changed me theme to Iron Man. I was just switching around seeing if one theme would help me.

I know that one of the things I could not read is when I was in my text messages and I hold on a message. That menu that pops up I couldn't see anything. Everything was black. That is what I think lit the fuse. But I'll tell you what. I will go to a theme and what I can't see or would like to change I will post on here instead of ranting. On another note it would be awesome if someone could make a cheat sheet with what color changes what. I know time consuming but would be very helpful in the long run. Thanks again.

IDK, what comes to mind?:

1) Browser settings set to data saving or something to that effect to launch pages quicker on slow data connection? Check browser settings: java, cookies, data saver, individual site settings.

2) Ad-blocker blocking the image source? If you have an Ad-blocker, does disabling it reveal the images? Some host sources are very strict with what it allows to display.

Other than that, try another browser or reset to default settings. Make any difference? Nothing else really jumps at me right now. I don't think a proxy would intentionally block certain site images, would it? Seems they're more likely to impose ads or redirect which can slow the connection and ruin the browsing experience.
