Develop Bugs

[APP] Google Now (JB Search) for ICS Roms NO VOICE ~ 7.6.2012

Original thread and development/updates here
Confirmed working on Hercules running CM9, I have not tested on other ROMS including touchwiz based ones. Flash at your own discretion, I'm not liable for bricks, etc. Read directions very carefully and it works as described.
This requires root and the knowledge of how to manipulate system apps. I will not be providing support for Root Explorer/Astro/ES File Explorer/etc if you don't know how to set it to read/write mode.
Voice search WONT work. I will update the thread if someone, somewhere gets it working.
edit:Confirmed to be "working" on non-AOSP Roms, so flash away!
edit 2: New file with less force closes and more cards! No voice search still :crying:
If flashing for the first time:
Download File
Go Into /system/app and rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1 (as a backup).
Go to downloaded file
Rename from Velvet-theos0o#.apk to Velvet.apk
Copy to /system/app and change permissions to RW-/R--/R--
Reboot
Open Search widget and give it a moment to start up
Go into settings->Privacy and accounts-> enable "Search on google.com"
?????
Profit
If flashing the updated file:
Download New File
Go into Applications and clear data for Google Search
Go into /system/app and delete GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (this should be the old version of Google Now)
Go to downloaded file
Rename from Velvet-theos0o#.apk to Velvet.apk
Copy to /system/app and change permissions to RW-/R--/R--
Reboot
Open Search widget and give it a moment to start up
Go into settings->Privacy and accounts-> enable "Search on google.com"
?????
Profit

Give it a try! The thread says it should work on any ICS Roms, not just ASOP, but I've only tested it on CM9.

yeah, the app installed correctly and I've tried two different methods of installing. Both will not work with voice recognition.

Just FYI guys, it's not supposed to work. This is stated in the OP. Only the Google Now part of the search bar works.

You guys should look at the real Google now thread. At this moment they a working on a fix for the voice issues. If anyone can provide some developmental help. I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe this is the topic he is talking about.
However, SilentStormer said regarding voice search.. "Not working:
-Voice search (kernel-specific, we probably won't be able to fix :-\ )"
Hopefully more developmental work proves this wrong!

Yes voice actions doesn't work. Very few things work on aokp 40

It was stated in the OP that Voice search, and consequently its settings would freeze the app. Network Error? Not sure about that because it searches fine for a lot of people :/

Hey, I'm not sure why it would say copy failed.. I used an app called "Root Browser". It failed to copy into /system/app?

Yes...I found it weird too. Also...there is no GoogleQuickSearchBar.apk in that folder...

The method I've heard of is
creating a nand backup of the ROM
flash to stock make your mms changes
restore the nand backup

Does that work? The APNs aren't wiped or reloaded with the rom restore?

That's really all there is to it, via EPST or APN Backup and Restore.

It's never worked for me for a Native MMS fix on Boost Mobile on an AOSP ROM from a Sense Rom.
(Restoring a Sense Nand on an AOSP Rom.)
I always had to settle for 3rd Party Messaging Clients.
But, many others have sworn by it.
Supposedly, the APN settings are left alone.
Your mileage may vary.

I modded my phone apk to get voice mail,no 3rd party needed.
And as far as mms just change the carrier from Sprint to boostmobile, in your advanced settings using epst ##3282#
Advanced
In there.

This thread is about the possibility of persistent APN settings not Boost Mobile fixes.
The context of my comment was for AOSP ROMs in which case EPST isn't available.
3rd party messaging apps that allow you to set your own APNs like Handcent or GoSMS for example is what I'm talking about and on non-Sense based ROMs is really the only reliable option.

[MOD]No increasing ring tone - LJ2 - i317

Well I'm not sure why Samsung does this, however it drives me nuts. So here is the phone.apk without the increasing ringtone stuff.
Flash in recovery.
You must delete the "SecPhone.odex" in /system/app after installing. Until I can make a time to have the zip do it. Thanks
Click here to download
Enjoy!

I was looking for a way to disable this.. thanks!

Thanks man.. awesome mod...needed this

I flashed from recovery, rebooted and it said updating apps,starting apps, had my wife call but it still does that lame ascending ringtone. I tried rebooting and now every time it reboots it says updating apps, starting apps.. sucks lol takes a little longer to start up now. Any way to fix? I also found the file you talked about deleting but it said it was read only.

Wow I was waiting for this mod!!! Sham on you Sammy for making this wonderful Dev make it right. I for sure didnt forget to hit the thanks button on this one!

Worked like a charm. Had to delete the odex file, then the mod took. A cache/dalvik wipe took care of the "upgrading apps" screen. My ringtones start loud and stay that way. Many thanks!

Are you running a custom ROM? If so, you're probably already deodexed.

OK. I got ya. I still get the "updating apparently" on restart. I have cleared caches.

Not sure I can be of much more help if you're on a deodexed ROM already. I've stuck with rooted/de-bloated stock for the time being. Wiping the caches solved it for me, aside from the first boot after the cache wipe, of course, but I'm still fully odexed aside from that one file I deleted.

It worked for me this time, thinfs different from the first try, im now on the lite de-bloated stock rom and modded kernel

So it looks like I need to modify the zip install to remove the .odex file.
Makes sense since de-odexing turns the .odex into a classes file inside the apk, which is then edited. I'll edit the zip today to remove to .odex file.

Did this ever get done, sir?

antiochasylum said:
Flash in recovery. Even if you aren't de-odexed this should still work. In the zip I did not have it delete the .odex extension in /system/app. So after you flash this feel free to delete the SecPhone.odex, or leave it, your choice.

I installed and it did not work. I then used Root Explorer to delete /system/app/SecPhone.odex, cleared caches, rebooted and it works fine.
Thanks for the utility it was greatly needed.

I fully agree with you, this volume increase doesn't make any sense however, is there a way to revert back to the previous state should something go awry? Thanks.

Anyone have the 4.3 dialer?

I'm looking for the 4.3 dialer. I flashed 4.4 and really don't like its dialer because it removes some features.

Just download this package and extract it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887

I don't think it's compatible. It won't install. Has anyone else been able to get 4.3's dialer installed on 4.4? Or could it be because my rom is odexed?
Edit: I pulled the dialer apk out of my nandroid backup from 4.3. I put it in system/priv-app instead of system app with rw-r-r as the permissions. It works. However once a call is dialed, the keypad disappears so I can't end a call.

Subscribe to the issue. Show you how to change the dialer from the dialer from 4.4 to 4.3?

were you able to fix this issue? I want to flash kitkat to my dad's phone but he doesnt really like the kitkat dialer

Fixed the SMS problem :D But only if you're rooted :(

Find the folder: system/priv-app/message and delete everything inside it.
Now you've got no SMS app and two options:
1. Download an aftermarket app
2. Put the APK I've attached into the folder, boot into recovery, wipe the cache partition and reboot.
You could just install the standard app as a regular app too I guess.

XX I tried this when you suggested this in the discussion... didn't work.
I had a partially damaged sim. Only thing it couldnt do was send sms.

It sorta worked for me.
I deleted the stock message app
I wanted to use your message apk, but that didn't work as it was corrupted after reboot?
But as I used Google's Messenger app on my old phone, I installed that app and when I changed all the landcodes to the normal dutch mobile numbers without landcodes, it worked.
I could fully use the messenger app.
Example: I had a number +31 6 12345678
I changed it to 06 12345678
And it works!
