Hello hello !
So, I got the 4.1.1 OTA for 2 days and I just realize I don't have the "What's the song" widget.
I've got the new Play Music, but I live in Belgium, so, as many other features, I don't have access to this widget.
Is there a way to unlock it so I can have it ?

It's frozen by default. You can unfreeze it with Titanium or Rom Toolbox

Hum... Unfreeze it with Titanium works, but it doesn't survive a reboot.
I have to remade it after each reboot. Any solution ?

I have a Yakju Galaxy Nexus in the UK and the sound search widget is there for me to use. The only issue is my app drawer also includes Play Magazines which of course, doesn't work here as I don't have a US payment method.

My I bought imported, and I remember that my yakju was not factory.
My Nexus is white.
Even I installed this app, android syste info, titaniun, room toolbox, Do not Run "Whats the Song."
Does anyone know the answer if it is because of regions of device?
Look this...

@maicoalvim: this will only work if yoo have rooted your phone.
the nexus of my friend here in germany has these apps too, strange thing is, magazine, movies and music is not available in germany.
he updates his nexus through OTA.
i have updated my nexus manually (but with official ota zip file) and the apps + widget disappears.
i have flashed a factory image via fastboot (yakju 4.0.4) and flashed ota again (via update in android). after i do this multiple times the apps finally appears. (but no google play movies, but thats seemed to be normal)

Hello friends.
I discovered what the problem ...
It is the region. When I reseted the nexus and removed the SIM card, it worked the widget, to replace the SIM Card, the widget disappear ...
I edited the build.prop with something like these texts
ro.setprop.home.operator .....
ro.gsm.home.operator......
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung , etc.
and I was able to install Google Play Movies and to be able open it but still I can't install other Play apps..
when i use droidvpn then i can be able to install the apps only for a few hours but not the sound search widget, etc.
:/
Is there any way to hack some files to use the Google apps on unsupported countries?
can I defrost the goolge apps myself somehow without titanium?
The problem is not only the SIM card, he actually blocks the APP when it enables and configures a wifi network.
I did so, I removed the SIM card, did a master reset, then started.
And it was all there, play movies google, google books, widget "Whats the Song", google music etc ...
But when I configured the wifi on my nexus, apps disappeared like magic .... then the problem is limited by IP, geographic region, not just the SIM Card.
When he checks the IP as soon as he blocks where services do not exist.
But one fact makes me curious .... I have two friends, and their nexus in this problem does not happen ... only in my! : (
look this... my nexus after master reset.

Did you have a solution for this issue?
I even can't defrost it after a reboot. Titanium listed this app as uninstalled(with a strikethrough)
Your device have to be rooted to defrost it with Titanium.
Someone find a solution?
Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox "freeze" and "defrost" apps? What are they changing? I'm trying to figure it out so that someone can do it without one of those apps.
I am using the Antek App Manager. But every time I have to shut down the nexus, I have to redo the defrost.
Did anyone make it work?
I have a GNexus bought from play store in US, but live in India.
I can see the ES explorer's app manager listing the Play Books, Movies and Magazines as well as the What's the song widget. But, it cannot be opened.
Android's app list does not show these apps. So, there is no way to enable it w/o rooting, I guess.
But at least was any rooted user able to make it work?
One of the reasons you may be rooting your Nitro might be to remove bloatware. At least, that was the main reason for me.
Anyway, after you root and go about customizing and deleting apps, you will likely find yourself rebooting and being greeted by an LG logo and the words "Security Error". Then you go through the terrible motions of unbricking your phone and trying again only to brick it once more.
Well, after bricking my phone a good 30 times, I have found a solution. Here it is:
DO NOT UNINSTALL ALL AT&T SYSTEM APPS
There you have it. It seems that AT&T has set up their ROMs to verify that all system apps are intact at boot. If they are not, they assume that the ROM has been tampered with. Of course, this does not mean that you can't freeze these apps. I used Titanium Backup to freeze these apps.
When I finished customizing my Nitro, I booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery and made a backup. Each time I bricked my phone while testing this, I just restored that backup. I've also kept the backup on my SD card just in case.
Here is a list of the apps that I have found will brick your Nitro if removed:
AT&T Address Book (Safe to remove with v20c update)
AT&T Navigator (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Books* (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Movies*
Google Play Music (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Store/Market
*I have found that these ones will defrost on reboot.
i can tell you for a fact that 90% of those are safe to remove and I have done so.
Yep, most of those are safe to remove. I have security error only then tried to install CWM from leaked firmware.

I'm just going off the fact that every time I removed one of them, I got the security error.
I'd be happy to edit my list if you can provide a list of the ones you have removed.

Ok, I'm making a ClockWorkMod backup right now and will give the others another try.
I think I need to point out that I'm pretty sure mattman86 is talking about experiencing the secure boot error while on the one-click installation ICS leak whereas people replying to him are using the CWM-flashable ICS leak. I could be wrong, though.

this is a pretty safe list. you might try using root explorer to nav over to those apk's and change the perms & delete.
i don't mind the address book and the store is certainly required but those others, ugh.
Just tested. On 20c only one app that bricking device is Google Play Movies :laugh:. Books and Music are safe to remove. I did not try to remove Play Store.
Is Address Book safe to remove?

Weird... Every time I remove it, it bricks my phone. So, I just freeze it.
It appears that with the new v20c update, you can remove Address Book and Navigation.
Only app that crash system is Google Movies! I removed all staff from ATT and other and phone works well. But when I delete Moves it shows me Security Error.

Has a solution been found? I have the same issue. I thought it might have been a ROM issue, but after trying a few ROMs I still have the same issue. Is there some setting I need to activate within Calendar?
Have you both checked your calendar app that you've got an appointment within the next 7 days?

It works for me, do you have a location in your event? I'm not sure when they pop , but I just made a dummy one for 6 pm and it showed up about 530. I can check my settings if you like.

I didn't realise I needed to set locations, but some do have them. I'll go through them and add addresses to the all and see how it goes then.

I'm not sure it makes a difference, but my appts are set up with notifications in the calendar app. I can't help but think a location is required, because the notification is based on whether you need to leave for traffic issues in Google Now. However, the dummy appt I set was located at home, and it popped up.
The GN settings I have are - Card appears for any meeting, and if travel time needed, standard. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help!
I might try a dummy appt too.
For my settings, I seem to have different options... I have - For any meeting, Only if far away, and In evening for next day. At the moment I only have the first one ticked which I thought would bring up appts regardless of time and travel...

Not sure, but they came packaged with Liquid ROM. Can't see it being the issue coz it hasn't mattered which ROM/ gapps I've flashed.

I tried this in the 4.2 thread, but there was too much activity and it got lost. consequently, can someone with 4.2 installed test this?
the command of "set timer for XXX minutes". Does this use the new timer app or still set an alarm?

Running 4.2 it simply set an alarm called 'timer'. However I believe this is an app fault, not the OS. Google may release an update to the Google Search app to account for this.

I was afraid of that. It annoys me that they didn't bother to update voice search to interface with the new timer app. oh well.
So ever since I got the watch, every day (ie resets once a day) it shows me a stock quote from rl (Ralph Lauren Corp), the watch is the one generating the card because it happens before it synchs with the phone.
The thing is I don't have any stocks entered. I have never had one entered. I don't follow any stocks. This quote seems to be baked into the watch. Anyone else seen it and know what gets rid of it?
Try going to Google.com/finance and see if it is in your portfolio for some reason. If it is, delete it. If it isn't, then I have no idea.
Looks clean, no portfolio.

Pfft... I was guessing more along the lines that Ralph Lauren paid google to be the default demo stock for the stock app. Anyways it still pops up despite not being in any of the areas listed above.
Try opening the Google app on your phone, go to customize and see if its listed as a stock there.
If I were you I would at least attempt clearing all data from Android wear app in settings and doing a factory reset on the 360 itself. Is your 360 on latest 5.1.1?
