How does one install this? I downloaded it and got a .zip there was no .apk file inside so I tried flashing it and it just locked me up 2 times
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

When I went to download it was a .apk

The download site says its an apk but when I browse to it on my phone its a .zip. I tried renaming it to an apk and that didn't work either

Unzip it using winrar or 7zip and there's an apk inside

O wow my phone is all jacked up. No matter how I put it on my phone it shows up as a zip. I email it, download it, transfer with cable. It shows as an apk on my pc but only shows as a zip on my phone. Hrmm somethings not right

Calm down. There's only two things you need to have on your phone to manually install an app:
1. PackageInstaller.apk or something similar (Unless removed, should already be on your phone)
2. A file browser such as MyFiles, Adao, Root Explorer, or Astro
Now tell me what you're using to open this file on your phone, and did you allow "Unknown Sources" in settings under Applications?

I have astro and andro zip and rommanager.have tried to use all 3 but they all say its a .zip instead of a .apk.

No idea there were even separate ones. Found that one just by searching google. Personally I wouldn't use any of them, they suck the life out of batteries.

Where to get YouTube HD apk

Hi, does anyone know how and where to get HD YouTube apk that works with our phone?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

try changing the phone's resolution. i've noticed that when i set mine to x720, even opera browser's interface changed. the menu is no longer a bar at the bottom but like on the upper left, if im not mistaken. and yeah, i remember youtube being crisper. look for lcd resolution at the market to set screen res.

I'm no genius on the matter, but I think you would need a phone that supports the HD resolution which currently are only a select few with ours out of the picture.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

The thing is I have the Galaxy Nexus
And it has a YouTube app. That shows the videos in HD. I know our phone doesn't have HD screen but that doesn't matter it can downscale and it will still look crisp.

U would have to push it to system apps folder, fix the permission then reboot to give it a chance

I don't have it, he says he has a gn. Just telling him u can't "install" it, it has to be in system

Well I tried to put it in the system apps and deleted the original apk then changed the permissions to the same as all the other apps still it says problem prasing the package. It can't install. I rebooted still nothing. I have the apk and the odex file but I don't know how to post it here.

There should be a button to attatch a file. I believe you have to have had your account for an extended amount of time in order to use it.

Hmmmm. It might just not work bro

The new YouTube comes part of gapps with ICS so you would need to have ICS framework most likely to make it work. The new gmail app is also like that as well.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

i guess you guys missed my point. the gnexus version might have a compatibility update just to make it work with ics. but to make youtube's hd look better our phone, we must have an hd screen or at least make the youtube app think that we do.
change your phones resolution from x480 to x720 (using lcd resolution app from the market) and youll see apps like youtube and opera browser detect your phone's res and adapt to it.
HD vids on a fake 720 res is much better than on our native x480's youtube hd vids. opera browser's interface changes just by changing the phone's res. try it and youll see what im talking about.
what it boils down to is, we need someone to make the youtube app think our screen is at least x720. that might work.

apk install

Hi I have a funny problem on my note 2 and nexus 7 which only started today and effects both.if I download a apk to install it won't let me use the install button , nothing happens. I have made sure I have allowed the external sources. It had always worked before

Could it be because you're internal memory is full? Or you could also try wiping davlik cache.

If you are using screen filter or same application, then close it. I have read such application can cause this type of issue

Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that both the launcher and the new google now seem to work fine on the LGOG.
Everything is pretty snappy and there are some cool new features.
Wanted to let you know, the new google now has something similar to the "always listening" on the Moto X and it's really cool.
Haven't run into any issues, but if any of you guys do, go ahead and post them!
Steps:
Manual
1.Download and install PreBuiltGmsCore.apk, Velvet.apk, and GoogleHome.apk like any other apk.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
By Flashing
1.Download and flash GOOGLEHOME.zip.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
New 4.4 apks including Hangouts, new camera, new keyboard, new google now and launcher:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so:
https://copy.com/aGcxY (Thanks jblazea50)
Confirmed working on:
Carbon ROM
Slimbean
CM 10.2
Troubleshooting:
-If you can't find /system/lib, try a different file manager
-If Google Now force closes, try changing the language to English UK (though this doesn't seem to make a difference on the LGOG)

I can't seem to get Google now to go past "initializing". Tried changing the language to no avail

To get Google now/search to work, you need to take the file from the zip and place it in system/lib and change permission.

I am hearing that this thing is pretty ugly due to it being for a 1080 screen and most phones are still 720.
If you have it loaded can you attest to the "ugliness" due to the screen difference. maybe a screenshot?

I installed all 3 apks in the order specified but when i choose the new launcher, i get google search fc. I tried to change the language for google now while using the lg launcher but it didnt work. Also tried to copy that file to system/lib and it didnt work either.

Did you change permission on the lib file? Also, do a reboot afterwards. Remember you have to install the Google Services app also.

I'm on Optimus v4.4 and installed all 3 parts and get Google search has stopped working when trying to switch to the launcher.

I changed permission on the lib file to rw r r. Then rebooted and still the same. What is the google services app? Is that one of the 3 apk files or something additional?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

same issue here I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling manually pushing the files and everything in it still force stops.
Seems to be tied to Android 4.1.X I am still digging around for a fix.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've tried everything and I can't get this launcher to work??? I can get google now to work but when trying to open the launcher to work it says "google search has stopped" Idk I'm about to give up...
idk how i got here...

Same boat, FC Google Search when trying to use the launcher. Everything else seems to be working, saying "Ok Google" works if Google Now is open, but have tried all fixes for the launcher and still get FC's.

I'm gonna try to make a list of ROMs that the launcher works on (after file overwrite at /system/lib).
Could the people that it works for please let us know what ROM they're on?

Just as I suspected. Only works on AOSP/CM based ROMs for now.

I figured as much, looks like I'll have to flash cm10.2 and try it again. Shame bc I love the stock camera and viper1.1 kernel has been running great. Good thing I have a flashing problem.

Optimus G and the Google Now Launcher

Hey there,
Just tried to install the new Google Now Launcher / Google Experience Launcher on my phone. I am running stock first of all.
Tried almost all apks for the new Google search and Google home app. But when I select the Google launcher, I will just end up with forced closes. Changing the phones language and/or Google search language just won't work for me. Same problem with all settings and apks.
Anybody here using or having used the new launcher on their Gs?

Maybe try the new launcher that Google posted and see how that works? It's currently only for GPe and Nexus devices, but I'm sure it's been leaked on the internet SOMEWHERE.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
I actually have had the same problem as the OP and would like the launcher, so I will be searching myself and seeing how this works. Will keep you posted.

No i will never try to flash an Lg, never again...

Strangely enough, I have the same problems. I want to know how LG made this not work without issuing a single update. -.-
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I don't think that the new launcher will work on our phones until it is released for everyone via the Play Store.

KitKat only
I think the Google Now Luncher only works on KitKat Roms
