[Q] Facebook wont install

Like title says, facebook as an update from market would not install. I removed existing fb and install clean, no dice. A copy of the olderversion also would not install. SOmething about not signed came up. Any ideas?

I wiped dalvik fixed permissions now all is good.... except. Now it just force closes as soon as i try to open it

The latest facebook version doesn't work for me either. I have learned to back-up my facebook app before updating it.

I tried the backup and wouldn't install. I'm running the newest one finally. After a bunch of cache wipes and fix permissions I got it working. Even the backup did not want to cooperate.

Yep the latest FB update has issues. It installed fine for me on my G2 with CM7 nightly 41, but it force closes when tapping Profile, Friends, or Messages from the main screen. I didn't back up the previous version so I'm stuck with it until they release an update. Unless someone is so kind as to post an apk of the previous version.
It runs fine on my GF's Fascinate (running 2.1) though.
I've always found that the quality of the Android FB app mirrors the relationship between FB and Google.

Yea same here, wouldn't install for me.
I gave up on the official Facebook app and went with Flow for Facebook. Way better than the official app.

S Voice

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?
it installs on ICS so I think it might work
original: http://minus.com/llX3TROSRO4NH
fixed to work on unauthorized devices: http://minus.com/lCWshD37drA9R

Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.
Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

works, but very slowly on AOKP build 35. I will try it later on Sandvolds beta 8.1

It's slow at responding for all machines I think

Works rather fast for me. It fc when I do stuff like 1+1 or something like that. And its slow in opening apps. Sandvold ICS.

i've used the new one for checking the weather for location, sending text and calling - all seems to work well.

I install S-Voice from the apk from frandroid.com
And it works, open apk, understand french language...
I hope this apk will mature quickly

on HTC desire the installaton crash but, after a reboot, it works
nice one!

I do not have a crash during installation.
I'm on ics 4.0.4 bravo cyanogen mod 9 RC 3.4.U1.
And it works.

Does someone test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673354 on HTC Desire ?

Tried the first APK, but it wasn't for me.
Also it's weird to say 'Hi Galaxy' to desire.
I suggest to wait for a year or so, so that developers can stabilize the system

The fix S voice apk and Spanish language works well for me.
I have 2 days with him and I am testing it

[Q] Google Now for HTC One X?

Recently Google has released Android 4.1 JB with Google Now feature. Can anyone port it to our device? I have been doing some searching through the 4rum and I can only find GNow for Aosp Roms. Thankz

Not yet. Someone has ported the apk and the voice part doesn't work yet due to jb dependencies. Needs to be recompiled for ics so maybe a few weeks at the least.

I've just tried to install it on my HOX (faux kernel, ARHD7.1), using install procedure and APK from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
It installed just fine. Even opens (though no swipe from bottom to activate it (as expected) from widget.
But doesn't really work since it can't hear me - Immediately fails when pressing the mic button.
When going to config -> voice, it crashes.
But the real bummer is that it can't find the network! Well that's unexpected, since Android finds it just fine... Perhaps it uses a different 'channel', only available on JB? But then it wouldn't work on ICS AOSP...
update
Ok... It does find it (the network) just fine when searching using text input.
It only doesn't show the Google Now <badges/boards/panels>. Upon opening it gives a toast about the network. Upon clicking 'update', nothing happens.
So it's only a search replacement (with no voice)
But I want to use it for the Google Now features... I installed 4.1 on my GN and it's amazing I want that on my main HOX!

Looking for this too

My one x has been updated to JB, and i can't find Google Now feature...

[Q] IceColdJelly

I just installed the latest icecoldjelly rom v3 Apr 22, '13
My google voice typing does not work at all, launches then closes immediately?
FIX: Go to Play Store, Open 'My Apps' Update Google Search to Latest! Works for me now!
Also the brightness on the power widget, doesnt show 'the half symbol' anymore, like it skips right over it?
Anyone Please help.
Thanks.

I suggest posting this on the ROM's thread.
I'm sure this is noted on one of the stickies, a question about a ROM really should go in that ROM's thread.

Google voice typing doesn't work on cm 10.1 either I would just disable it.

HTC WATCH?

After an exhaustive search I have found zero info on the HTC WATCH app. It gives me a connection error every time I attempt to launch it. I confirmed my login info is correct because I can log in with same credentials on my old HTC Amaze and the app fires right up. Can anyone share a working apk? Ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried to extract the apk from any ROM on xda ? maybe if you replace it by any HTC Watch apk from any ROM it will work, but make sure it's the same base.
I hope I helped.

Thank you for the reply. I am surprised by how little information is available online about this apk. I cannot find a recent all for this app. I'm assuming it works fine for yourself?

It is not available where I live (Jordan) so I have no idea. But I am assuming it has to do with your device and HTC account.
Maybe a factory reset, or replacing the HTC Watch apk by extracting it from any ROM and pushing it into the system will help.
Also try to erase HTC Watch data from the app settings then open it again and sign in maybe that will work.

I don't think it works when rooted.
Hide root and try again?

If you are rooted it will work. Mine stock tmobile as well as my wifes it didn't work now that I am now rooted and installed the HTC dev ruu it works fine. My wifes still stock does not work.

I appreciate the link. I downloaded it and my phone prevented it from installing...whether as an update or as a fresh install. Kind of confused by this one. Seems like a very random glitch to have since every single little thing on this phone/rom works perfectly.

It's a system app, you can't just install it like a 3rd party app ... Move it into system/app using Root Explorer or similar, change permissions to rw - r - r and reboot.

I just did this exactly and when I rebooted the app didn't show up in app list. Also tried installing while in the system/app directory and refuses to install. Permissions are set properly.

Maybe the file has other dependencies then, other files perhaps ... Can't say I know much about it because it, among others, get removed from my ROM at source.

It's a system app that lets you watch movies, the same as the one that comes with stock Google ROMs. You get Thor free with it on the One and you can buy or rent other movies.

I have a couple movies I purchased when I had my HTC Amaze using HTC Watch. I liked the service. They got good movies pretty quick and the pricing was decent. I was able to play them via MHL onto the big screen and it looked great.

Even more strange is that I just tried logging in on a stock HTC One and the same error occurred. I went back to my HTC Amaze and was able to log right in under the same credentials without issue. I even checked (via Amaze) the five device limit on the Watch account and their is only one device registered. (Amaze) I have four empty slots available to register other devices. Crazy.

What Rom are you trying it on. I know on the developer edition it works. Tmobile it doesn't. I am waiting to receive the update from tmobile to see if that fixes it.
