I updated to the j4 build yesterday using Odin and rooted. I have Google now zip and tried flashing it. It says installed but when I boot the phone its no where to be found.

It's not an app. It replaces Google Search. Try holding down the menu button.
I tried but it's just the old regular search

I flashed a Google now zip from the frosty ics rom located on the first page but I don't see the app and it doesn't work. I still have the old search. Here is a pic of the search I have even after flashing? Anybody know what's going on?

If the above doesn't work, you could try pushing all the files manually, then fixing the permissions. That's how I installed it, twice. Open up the .zip to see where all the files are to be placed. If there are any duplicates, replace them with the new, but save the old ones first to a labeled folder, of course. That's in case you want to go back.
I tried your link. I already had that Google now zip but I re downloaded and tried again. Flashed but still nothing happened... This is really annoying Idk why it's not working. I'm just on stock rooted rom from mobile Odin. I mean flashing other things work. I flashed a theme mod and it worked fine. Why is this not working!
I'm not sure how to push manually but ill try opening like you said and try to figure it out.

Okay I pushed everything from the zip except the meta INF folder I don't know where that goes, and I also could not install the velvet apk.

I'm running into issues with Google Now as well. I can get the actual stuff to install and I get the cards and all that, but voice search isn't working. It just keeps saying initiating and keeps cycling. I'm on J4 as well.

I used the files from one of the Google Now posts in the main android section. The file is called offline v7 or something like that?

All you have to do is remove Google search from system apps... Then flash Google now

The meta INF folder isn't supposed to be pushed, that is a list of instuctions that places all the other files in their proper places when the zip is flashed in recovery. The velvet.apk is the most important part. I'm not sure what you mean by "couldn't install" it. If you tried using the Android installer, that would probably make sense as it doesn't always work with modded apk's. You would have to copy/past it into /system/app manually, first either copying the existing one to another location on your sd card or just leaving it where it is and renaming it "velvet.apk.bak". Then all of the files that you pushed have to have their permissions set correctly. Just follow what you already see for the various .apk's, files, and folders. Then you should reboot. Now before doing any of this (any changes at all) make a nandroid so if something goes really wrong you can restore back to where you were.
EDIT: I see you solved your problem. Good show!
In the new update the name of the google search apk change so most of the zips floating around for Google now havent updated to the new name so yes just deleting it will work untill the updater-script changes in the zips
So I have it installed but it says a new version is available in the play store. Obviously can't get it from the store but is there an updated version that works on our phone?

No, we on ICS just have to ignore that for now. Someone (a new dev) in the original thread claimed he could mod the updated version for us, but many are skeptical.
EDIT: What you can do is get the present GN to display your sports teams. Before the devs stopped working on this, an Aussie developer came real close to getting it working. What you can do is temporarily replace the velvet.apk and use the updated lib file. This will allow you to set teams. The problem with this version for me is that is was mute. I would not talk back no matter what plus it would force close every time I tapped "show more cards". So the thing to do is restore the original valve.apk after you've go your teams set (set every single team you are interested in before you restore the original velvet.apk) and that's it. They will always show up after that through a Titanium restore when you flash another ROM and you won't have to repeat this process again. The other way guys were doing this was to flash a Jelly Bean ROM, set their teams in GN, then flash back to ICS. This is a shortcut to that process. Unfortunately, the movie listings and emergency notifications available in the JB version of Google Now won't stick once you go back. I'll link you to the post. Incidentally, I pushed these manually too then fixed permissions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31991861&postcount=5824
The Google now I'm using I can already add sports teams. Just wanted the theaters n stuff with the new version.

I wonder if I missed a version that allows that. I've followed the GN thread for quite some time and only the JB versions could allow adding sports teams. In our version the settings are there, but they don't work AFAIK. I'm keeping my eye on the new JB port by DocHoliday. As soon as he adds in WifiCalling Im going to flash it and enjoy all of GN. Or, flash the real thing if the rumor that T-Mob is releasing JB or Wednesday is true, lol.
i flashed the 4.2 camera earlier. i took one picture, it gave me a error, after it froze, it said that it couldnt access the gallery. after a restart, i went to the camera, cant access it says cant cannect to camera. this is for the new 4.2 camera, and i have the stock camera as well....dont know if this is or was an issue to begin with. but it says the same thing for it as well. cant connect. it also duplicated my gallery. any help is appreciated

When opening the camera, I set the scene mode to Action. Doesn't freeze for me anymore.
If you have a custom recovery menu, try wiping cache and dalvik, then "fix permissions". That fixed my issues when opening camera.
It did not duplicate your gallery. It just gave you another one. One is your old 4.1 gallery, the new one is the 4.2 gallery. If you use the new gallery, you shouldn't have any of the issues. I didn't have to set to action, either, as the other guy suggested.

I don't do it every time - only when the app doesn't work as expected. I don't think it would hurt to do it every time if you want to.
Well the camera locked up on me again. Earlier when i took a sphere picture it worked. Then i tried taking a regular photo of my daughter and same issue earleir...couldnt access the gallery and now xamera will not connect. could this just be a bug? Should i....and how would i get this camera off my phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm only using the 4.2 camera and gallery for the sphere photos. For normal photos I'm still using the stock camera.
Try downloading the camera from my dropbox link. The first zip I tried flashing had problems. This one has been perfect so far.
If it doesn't work for you, I'd use Root Explorer (or something similar) and delete GalleryGoogle.apk and GmsCore.apk from /system/app. That's all I think my flashable zip installs. I'm not sure what the one you installed had in it.
Yeah im not to sure. Ill look back at the folder when i get to my comp. Ill get the zip from ur link though thanks

I honestly don't think the 4.2 camera is ready to be a daily driver for somebody who takes pictures on a normal basis. Just grab the gallery2.apk from the original zip of the ROM you're using and put it in system/app to get your good old camera back if that's what you're wanting.

Before anybody flames me, yes, I have searched every forum related to this issue. I am not a noob, just a lurker, so I don't have enough posts to post this in the development section. Here is my issue. I'm running Task650 and Ktoonsez 4.1.2 (build 11.18.2012) and I am trying to install a working version of google wallet. Before I go on, awesome ROM! I flash others and always come crawling back. Anyway, I've tried every variation on getting this to work out there, with no luck. This where I am at now. I can edit my build prop and get the market version of Wallet to work, but obviously it won't once I change my build prop back. If I try to flash the AT&T Modaco zip, I loose NFC in my setting menu. If I try to install the Modaco apk, it acts like its installing it, and at the end I get an "App didn't install" message at the end". My question is, how can I get this to work? If I can't, what exactly is the effect of leaving my build prop set on Nexus? Is it possible to flash the zip file, then extract something from an ota that I can flash to give me back NFC, but leave the rest of the changes the Mocado zip makes alone? If anyone can help me, I pretty much always donate to developers whose hard work I benefit from. Please help if you can. I am stubborn as gravity and will either get this to work or brick my phone trying.
Oh yeah, Its an AT&T phone.
I'm on the same ROM and have not encountered issues. Flash the modaco zip instead of installing, edit your build.prop, then reboot and add your card in the wallet app. After the card is added you can revert the build.prop.

I must have had a corrupt version of the file. I tried again and instead of loosing nfc, or wallet not showing up, the installation aborted. I redownloaded and reflashed with no issues. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Remember, if you ever switch ROMs always reset the Google wallet app before flashing the new ROM.

One more question. Have yuo had any issue with nfc toggling off randomly since flashing this? It seemed to be working fine but what I have noticed is that if I haven't used nfc for maybe twenty minutes, it toggles off. Its still checked, but I have to uncheck it and recheck it to get it to work. I usually set it to stay on even when my screen is off, and haven't had any issues with it before, even when the phone is asleep. I could write a tasker workaround, I suppose, but I would rather just fix it.
I did notice that occasionally the NFC settings become unavailable. A reboot always fixes it for me.

Hello, i just flashed paranoidkangdroid on my AT&T samsung galaxy s3 and I noticed something. I saw that the gapps had installed the crappy jellybean camera, and not the new one with the photosphere, and gestures etc.
I want to flash the 4.2 camera .apk, but I don't want the 4.1 camera and gallery sitting there being a nuinsance.
I went to go uninstall it using titanium backup/root explorer, but I can't seem to find the 4.1 camera or gallery .apk
Where exactly are they and what are they called?
The easiest would be reflashing the ROM and then flashing 4.2 Gapps, but then you get all 4.2 apps. Otherwise you could download a root file explorer from the market (nandroid first) and then delete all gallery in /system/apps. Then flash your 4.2 camera.

If I reflash, will I lose the group sms capability that paranoidkangdroid has?
I installed the 4.2 camera and went into Settings> Apps selected the 4.1 camera and clicked "disable" removed the 4.1 camera and gallery and left 4.2
I'm running PAC-Man but it should be the same on yours.

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.

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.
