Who wants to try and get the S-Voice apk working?

The S-Voice apk was just posted in the S3 area http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26293573&posted=1#post26293573
I've installed it on my GNEX and it installed fine, made it through the tutorial as well, but it crashed when I tried to change the wake up phrase. Anyone care to give it a shot at making it work? I was going to start with something simple like editing build.prop but I can't seem to find any info on what the S3 is listed as.
It's now working perfectly!! Nex7er in the Note forum discovered if you install the app from system/app it works perfectly and I can confirm it runs perfect on the nexus!!!

I installed on latest CM9 nightly, no issues here. I installed it normally without being in system folder.
Edit:
Seems too clunky and pointless/useless. I can do all those commands by tapping the screen manually and I'll know they are correct rather than relying on a sketchy voice to text algorithm.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...

Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.

Tried and seems to work pretty good

Tried setting an alarm but couldn't save for some reason.

Same here can't save alarms...

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app

Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.

It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"

Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it

Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

It's ok, kind of a novelty more than anything. I guess for people who have certain disabilities it can be a great tool, but for me I can't see much of a use for it. I can point and click faster.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.

Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.

[Q] NEW Google Wallet (8/1) for AT&T

So the new Google Wallet just came out, with support for any credit card! I so would love to use it, but AT&T has it blocked!.
I was able to install the CM9 hacked version, but was never able to use it for some reason, it would not let me add a gift card.
Anywho, the new version came out,and I would like to get some attempt to get it to work.
Any ideas? links, hacks? I loath AT&T. I own the phone (bought outright). I think I should be able to get it to work!

You can get it to work if you are rooted:

Also the new Google Wallet will work if you are rooted and change your build.prop. Look at the very end of the linked thread for how to.

How would you go about getting rid of all the plastic you have? Every since I got my S3, I've been looking for stores that accept either Google Wallet or NFC devices. I haven't seen any. Do I have it wrong? How does one strictly use their phone for payments only?

you look for debit machines with these logos...

Thanks...couple more things.
I found this: http://www.google.com/wallet/where-it-works.html Thats for Google Wallet. But what should I look for when it comes to any NFC device since we can now use any credit/debit card?
Also, if I get Wallet on my S3, is it difficult to change ROMs? Do I have to stay on the ROM I started it with? If so, thats crazy annoying.

i just told you what to look for.. gave picture. if you see a machine like that... IT WORKS.
and to your other question... it has been explained several times in many threads. before changing roms > wallet >menubutton > settings > clear wallet data

here is a link to today's new google wallet....

Ya, sorry...I copied and pasted the reply and copied too much. I do apprecitate your first response. As for the wallet...I'll give it a shot. I'd be so annoyed if I lost any prepaid balance because i changed roms.

GW !!
GW works for me

So , it worked for one day, and now today I get "Unsupported Device" but it lets me open the app and such
so not happy now! AT&T is getting to me!

Ok, kinda found a fix, I had to disable Superuser, it was not AT&T, it was the warning that you have "root" access..
ugg.. what a pita!

[Q] So... Anything new on Smart Updates?

Still gotta DL the WHOLE app (eg. a 1GB game update) instead of just the new/replaced files that Google announced will be launched with the JB release.
Smart Update: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3248874/google-play-store-smart-updates-enabled
Anyone know what going on with that?

I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.

Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...
With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....

Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?

Noo the devs of the apps must build it in aka support it

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.

FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.
Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.
Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.

Yes..u r ri8...notification bar shows correct % of update where as progress bar shows size of kbs downloaded...

Yes, I have noticed this also recently. So I guess it was a slow rollout.

I have encountered several updates that use this. I remember Google saying that it is something that will happen automatically and not something that will require any changes on the part of the developers

I know. This question was asked a couple of weeks ago. I see that it working more often these day, so I guess a MOD can lock this up to prevent more replies. Th for the earlier info guy! :good:

[Q] How to get lockscreen back to stock in stock rom?

I can't believe I am actually asking this as a question. But I was neither capable to remove some 3rd party lockscreen from my gf's entirely stock SGN (rom-wise), nor did I manage to google for help.
Tried Go Locker and LockBot. I can choose a different Lockscreen but this new fella is now before the one I try to get rid off. So we actually have 2 lockscreens now. The 2nd one is easy to switch back off but the one below stays right where it is.
Here's what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, you can set the phone to lock pattern. Works fine except for the lockscreen that again succeeds all other lockscreens. It's always the last barrier before you can use the phone.
Please be so kind and let me know where else to look for turning it off

The lock screen app your using, need to be deactivated... if that cannot happen, go to settings----applications---find that app----open it-----and press clear defaults-----bang problem solved
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Thanks for the reply. My girlfriend says she never installed a lock screen app (intentionally). I was suspecting the range of Go products but uninstalling most of them (after going through all of their settings) didn't help either.
The question is what app might have caused it. And why isn't there an app that lets you default to stock? That's why I installes Go Locker and LockBot in the first place.
Actually this is quite a tragic flaw in Android. My gf totally diggs her shiny new SGN but is totally pissed by this lock screen. She never wanted it. She hates it. Now she starts hating the phone. She said she wanted a replacement...

Holy crap, dude! You nailed it. Rogue app called "Simply Locks". Is the on-phone search still disabled? because I used it to search for "lock" but it did not find Simply Locks.

Google Wallet 4.4

I was under the impression wallet would work with NFC after we go KitKat??? Am I totally wrong? Under tap and pay there is no option to set Google Wallet as default and in wallet tap and pay says unavailable.

If you check the google wallet page, You can see what devices are compatible with Tap & Pay
https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/1347934?hl=en
So far, it only shows the 2012 Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 as working tablets.

Given that Host Card Emulation is one of the new features in 4.4, and that the Nexus 7 (2013) carries the same NFC controller as the Nexus 5 (the BCM20793M), it seems likely that Google hard-coded the device out of Wallet and an update of the app will probably bring tap-to-pay.

I saw that too, but until they update the compatibility list and throw the switch on the 2013 Nexus 7, its not going to work. I mean, I could run 4.4 on my Note 2 and try and get it, but it probably won't work without being officially supported.
EDIT: just to say a couple more things. I almost knew for certain this would happen. Now that google is going to more software based way of handling these tap and pay features, I knew they would start setting up a Velvet Rope situation where only certain devices will be allowed to activate the feature. if any phone out there had this, Google might somehow lose control of payments. Needing to make sure the phone matches the username and with the history the app had of being able to make pretty much any phone look like a Galaxy Nexus just by editing the build.prop file, its probably going to be even worse getting certain phones/tablets activated.

Makes sense! I agree they had to do something to patch the "Nexus trick" and this seems like this is it.

The Nexus 7 (2013) is actually missing hardware - the ”secure element ”. I would be surprised if Google ever supports Wallet on this device. You can't make up for missing hardware with a patch.

Incorrect. That's what host card emulation is for. The Nexus 5 does not have a secure element, it is able to emulate it via software. Secure element is not required to get official support.
What you are saying is very true Pre-KitKat days, KitKat changes the game.

I currently have tap and pay enabled in wallet cm11 build 11/11/13. I haven't gotten it to work at a terminal yet though. If you check the compatability list you'll see that it says all devices running 4.4 and up with NFC are compatible.

Mikel Sigler from Google+ reported that pulling the Wallet APK from the Nexus 5 and sideloading it onto the Nexus 7 works.

Let me make my own prediction - Google will drop Wallet tap-to-pay on all NFC devices within 12 months. For now - NFC is not where Wallet is headed.

Tap to Pay is now included in today's update.
