[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits

Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)

I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.

If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

no you dont need source, just decompile. change the value, recompile. replace it
done.

Yes I know it's just iam working right now in my app and for me it's much easier to have the source I only had to import to eclipse than playing with apk tool etc in a few hours I will do that

you dont need to import to eclipse, all you do is just decompile it and change false to true.
you're making it so complicated on your part. i already did it, going to test it now it literally takes 30-45 seconds to do.

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same

Maybe the guy from the "30-45" seconds have more time to debugg this

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Any way to do this without using ADB? (Having tons of trouble getting my SGS3 to be recognized). Tried installing the apk by itself but the installation fails.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).

It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

Is it possible by changing any other flag?

[UPDATED 11/1/2012] [Exclusive] Unreleased Gmail 4.2 APK With Pinch-To-Zoom

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Does this pre-release version supercede future Gmail updates?
Thanks for the update. Love the new pinch-to-zoom feature! (BTW, swipe to "archive or delete" always archives for me. Can't figure out how to choose delete, instead.)
Question: Now that I have this pre-release Gmail2.apk installed, does this mean that I won't get any more Production releases of the Gmail app? (After all, I uninstalled the original Gmail app with Titanium Backup before I installed the new Gmail2.apk.) Once Gmail 4.2 is formally released, should I uninstall the Gmail2.apk and re-install the deleted Gmail.apk? (Will that work using TB?)

As of now gmail won't appear in your play store. Once it's released to the public, you should be able to uninstall the leak and just download the new one from the store.

[GUIDE] How to get a working Google Wallet

First this is a guide from the Verizon Note 2 forums, for those who don't know about it.
All Credit to WarlockLord, ogdobber, and tpmwr, and everyone else involved in this.
Visit the original thread here
Follow these steps, I have done this 3 times already and every time it works, IF you follow these steps.
I HIGHLY suggest using root explorer for this
1. Download the attached zip file, you must extract it, and place everything in their respective folders, backup your current files, rename with .bak on the end, paste the files in their respective folders from the zip. Set the correct permissions as the other files in the folder. Under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.
2. Next, navigate to your build.prop in your /system and edit it to mirror the Galaxy Nexus.
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Reboot
4. Open your app drawer, find the wallet app, from there, set it up, it will say Setting up this will take 5 minutes, you WILL get a force close.
5. From this point navigate to your /system/app and delete the wallet app.
6. Reboot.
7 Open the play store, download wallet, now set everything up, and add a card, once you have registered a card, it will say the app needs to reset. Reset it, and wait. Once you get back to the screen where you can select your account, close the app.
8. Navigate to your /data/app and delete the wallet.apk in there. DO NOT UN-INSTALL IT!!, This is crutial, ONLY DELETE IT
9. Now head back to your downloaded files from this post and paste the modaco R87 wallet apk back into your /system/app, and set the correct permissions, under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.
10. Reboot.
11. Now open wallet again from the app drawer and set everything up. It should proceed with no errors if you did everything correct.
12. Once setup, reboot again and open the app again to make sure its still working, and your cards are still there.
13. If its still working, you can now change your build.prop back to
ro.product.model=SGH-I317 or SGH-I317M(which ever variant you have)
ro.product.name=t0lteatt
ro.product.device=t0lteatt
If you do not change your build.prop back to stock values, it wll probably break SNote
14. Save the build.prop and exit.
15. Profit.
Everything you need to know is in this post, if its not working, you didn't do something correctly, or you missed a step.

Is this something that would be able to be cooked into a rom- a working version of Wallet, or would this procedure have to be done after every flash?

I originally used the original link that you posted. Those directions were a bit lacking so I ended up using the GS3 thread in combination with the original GN2 thread. It said to remove the APK. I was like, what APK, I am starting new, i don't ahve anything installed. So I assumed this person started off using the GS3 thread. So I went to the GS3 thread and flash modaco patched r87 and the GS3 NFC fix (I know, that was mistake). I then removed the APK. Then changed my build.prop. I installed the legit APK from play store. Then I opened it and activated my cards. It claimed that the app would restart on it's own, but it never did. I then just deleted the APK and then moved the modaco patched r87 into the system/app directory. Everything appeared to go well. I tried to make a payment and got a declined message at a 7-11. I then tried it at a CVS and but this time the NFC didn't even register. I then realized, I had the wrong NFC fix. So I flashed the NOTE2 NFC fix and was able to make my first successful wallet payment. Well everything ended up well so I'm happy. It seems that your directions are a little bit clearer than he original. Good luck to everyone else. I feel a little uncomfortable because my method was little dirty cuz I flashed the GS3 NFC fix first by accident. Once the new Cleanrom comes out with the multiwindow, I will try this process again from scratch and hopefully get a cleaner install.

[How to] Google Wallet on AOSP ROMs

This brief guide is to help others get Google Wallet working on AOSP based ROMs. There are guides already by Dafoxs and Antiochasylum but they are apparently for Samsung based ROMs and the lib files, etc are incompatible with AOSP based ROMs. Personally, I tried several times and the NFC setting kept getting wiped out so I had to do restores. These instructions are what ManelScout4Life posted and the thread is at his request. All the credit goes to the DEVs that made this possible - I am NOT a developer - Seriously... Lastly, the typical disclaimer applies - I take no responsibility for bricking your phone, etc. I highly recommend making a nandroid backup before any mod like this. These instructions worked on JellyBAM 3.2 compiled by ManeelScout4Life - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069164
1) The lib files should not be modified like the posts for the SamSung based ROMs. However, you will need the modified Google Wallet .apk that is included in the zip you can download from their threads. I used the attached file that I downloaded from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037372&highlight=google+wallet
2) I already had NFC enabled so ensure it is on in settings if you haven't already.
3) You need to modify /system/build.prop. I used Root Explorer (remember to change to RW) and you have to modify three lines. I made a copy of the existing build.prop before editing because you will revert to the existing file once complete to match your actual device.
3a) ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
3b) ro.product.name=yakju
3c) ro.product.device=maguro
4) I then rebooted before installing Google Wallet from the Play store. I then opened the app and performed the setup. The other guides mention getting FCs on NFC and to continue on but I never had any and the setup completed. YMMV.
5) Once the setup is complete with the version of the app from the store, you need to replace the app with the modified version that you downloaded in step 1. I used TB to force stop the app before I deleted it from /data/app.
6) I then use Root Explorer again to place the attached apk in /system/app (remember RW). I checked permissions and removed the group write check but again am not certain if that was necessary.
7) I then changed the build.prop.bak file to build.prop so it is back to before you started.
8) Reboot and hopefully it will work.
Hopefully, this helps and is clear.
Note: I see a prompt in the app shown in the attached pic but it will still work. It is really just a warning about a rooted device.
I pretty much did this, and it didn't work until I fixed permissions on the modded file that I moved to system/apps at the last step, like I saw in the YouTube video

So, I assume you removed the group write permission like I mentioned in step 6 and that fixed it for you? I assume it is the same video referenced in the link I have in step 1. The person checked permissions and removed that one check but he didn't say you had to. I did it anyway and maybe that is why it worked for me the first time that I followed the instructions I listed - from ManelScout4Life.
Thanks for this!

told me to reset the app...and its hanging at 98%...thoughts?
If you reboot and check the "about device", does it show Galaxy Nexus before you even download the app?
Have you double checked the spelling on the other two lines?

I assume the reason for the modified app is for it to continue working after you change the build.prop back to an unsupported device. I guess on AOSP ROMs where S-pen apps don't work, then the proper build.prop isn't as important. You will lose access to external sd card possibly and other issues possibly.

How about if you complete the instructions above - adding the modded app, changing permissions, deleting the downloaded app, etc?

If you reboot and check the "about device", does it show Galaxy Nexus before you even download the app?
Have you double checked the spelling on the other two lines?
What ROM and version are you on?

With the Galaxy Nexus build.Prop and Google wallet downloaded from the store, the setup needs to complete before you move to the next steps of reverting the build.prop and pushing the modded app. Those steps are to keep the app working without having issues due to a Galaxy Nexus build.prop. I would delete the app, and start over. I assume you never got an email stating you activated wallet.

Also, did you ever use the steps/zip posted by dafoxs or the other thread (forgot the name)? If so, your NFC setting might be gone or you have incompatible lib files, etc. I would revert to the nandroid backup if you made one before following those procedures which are for Samsung based ROMs rather than AOSP/CM10

Modified build.prop and now my phone won't turn on. Any help?
---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------
Took out battery, replaced it. Boot to recovery and restored Nandroid. Not sure what went wrong but I think I'll give up hopes of Google Wallet. Made me a little skiddish now.
This method of getting Google Wallet appears to break both Google Now and video output on cm10.1 variants that are running the open source audio hal.
Google Now goes into the 'Didn't catch that, retry?' Loop.
Steps to reproduce:
Install cm10.1 later than 01/26/2013
Allow it to boot and stabilize.
Setup Google Now.
Modify build.props to reflect Galaxy Nexus, yakju, maguro as dictated in OP.
Reboot.
Google Now will now have the 'Didn't catch that' error if you attempt voice recognition.

Thanks,
I can't confirm this works on 10.1 (Android 4.2.x) - only confirmed on 4.1.x even though I expect Google Now, etc will be fine after reverting your build.prop. I'm "assuming" Google Wallet will work as indicated in these steps but Google Now, etc may have problems while the bulld.prop stilll indicates the wrong device - temporary until your wallet is working.
However, were you able to get Google Wallet to setup properly?
If you did get it working, did you try changing the build.prop back to original? I don't know if that would solve the Google Now but your steps listed don't indicate that you finished reverting the build.prop.
Please reply with your results for others.
Hello -
I did actually revert the build.props file to the original settings, and Google Now continued to give the same error. I'm about to test it without opening Google now until after the revert and reboot.
Thanks for your help!

Visual Voicemail

OK, so this may not even be the result of running a custom rom because it hasn't worked with any of them. When I click on Voicemail which isn't setup yet by the way, all it does is send me to my messaging app. It gives me no options to set it up, or check voicemail.

I removed the Visual Voicemail application. It can be added back.
The icon for Visual Voice mail is tied to the Messaging app.
I need to edit the messaging app to rid that icon. for now just use the feature to "hide" it in the app drawer.
of it you want the app, pull it outta the bloat.zip
Okay, thanks

are you using my empty flashable.zip..?
just pull vvm.apk and put in system/app
Once I get my phone back, and or you have S-OFF this won't be an issue.
Aroma will solve a lot of these types of issues as well.
Okay, I put it in place of the null file in the app folder in your flashable zip and after re zipping it it failed when flashing

Don't unzip then rezip. Use a tool like 7zip and drop it into the zip. It failed because by unzipping, you broke the signature

exactly what Ty said.
I am expecting my phone back today, and my first project is Aroma..
so bare with me.. (not you Ty)
I will be getting the ROM to where I am comfortable with calling it a full non beta release.
Only reason it's beta is because I don't have Aroma set up yet, once that is set up, it's game on.
you will be able to re-flash the ROM.zip pick "MOD only" and then select JUST the .apk you want (NO you can't remove apps, use root explorer for that, I think S-OFF takes away write protection but I have no idea yet, if not, then, well, we will need to get used to that .zip that deletes files (it's quite easy, once you try it out and everything)

Have you had any luck ridding the VVM icon and whatever else from the messaging app yet. I had a nasty issue related to the new VVM.
I will spell it out here in case anyone else has this issue.
So i like always update my phone when updates come out.
The new VVM has some addition network elements tied to it on the back-end.
Long story short this 443 update has created randomly dropping my mobile connection. I tried re flashing the radios, the stock rom, going back one radio version, etc. I mentioned this in a post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/help/wifi-bluetooth-mobile-data-wont-off-t2883253
I don't believe it is anything we have done in here, but the issue was with exclusively mobile data where it would disconnect but still show 4g, anyways back to the VVM
I had to revert to 442 stock rom as it didn't have the disconnecting issue
Since i already ran the newest 443 VVM app with those additional features, the 442 VVM fails with error code 2004 when on a 442 ROM
So i had to be coy when calling VZW to get them to reset this. Lucky they didn't ask SW/HW versions, so basically they had ' reset the network elements ' associated with the newest version. WORKED!
So if this happens to you , all i said was it came down as an update, i didn't like it, and reverted back and now it does not work, etc.... I tried to find the newest update again but cant find it.
I was wondering how the VVM icon still there after removing the APK, that answers that. I tried to load the newest VVM on 442, and epic fail lolz
Just providing some info for everyone

Foolish me, this is so very simple, I just forgot that you have to do it on a 100% clean flash, you can't use a flashable.zip as it is an .xml system edit.
system/customize/resource/allapplication.xml
basically you edit this .xml just search for "voicemail"
you will find this line of code
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR][/B]" />
change it to
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B]" />
to be quite honest though to save yourself A LOT of time, just hit the menu button in app drawer click hide apps and hide it, that is what this MOD does anyway...

How to block or disable auto-updates?

I don't mind taking the updates but I'd like to get them manually. The last security update came at 3am in the morning and woke me up in the middle of the night because the phone vibrated when it went into flashing mode and then vibrated again when it was done flashing. I really hate being woken up in the middle of the night not to mention it pissing off my wife. Does anyone know what i can maybe run from ADB to either block or disable the auto updates?
Thanks!

If you are rooted, you need search using rootExplorer in /system/app all that is relative to (updater.apk , upgrader.apk , swupdate.apk , otaUpdater.apk , etc. ), and delete all, after deleted, reboot.
The rootExplorer have thumbnails when browsing apks, if the the updater related apk is masked with another name, you identify by icon thumbnail.
After rebooting, all remaining Corpses related to deleted apks, will be wiped, you can use sdmaid for scanning dalvik-cache for confirm..
If you don't want delete, (you said that you want do mannually)
Only you have to do is, after identify otaupdaters apk's names, rename these apks deleting the "k" from the apk.
Something.apk>>Something.ap
That is all.

No, this tip is for phone, automatically the watch stops with updates requests, you can try adb instead rootExplorer in watches.
After rooted, of course.
I never senn if watches haves updater apks if yes Simply delete or rename the apks inside.

This IS The Huawei watch forum and the OP was asking for how to stop updates on his Huawei watch. I just posted a watch update here recently, and I can tell you that the apks you suggest are not in the Huawei watch. I know adb very very well, thank you. Please give good advice when you try to help people, please.

The last security update.
After some trial & error I have found a way to disable the auto-updates. You can find the instructions to toggle them in the following thread: Disable automatic system updates
currently I am on day 3 of blocking updates (hopefully my way to do it will continue to work.
REQUIRES ROOT
I copied the first section of the build.prop file from latest M6E69F build and pasted it into build.prop file in M2CE3L build (build.prop file found in system folder - you can use twrp to replace it with a pushed copy), and so far no updates and no bad battery life from downloading updates in background (but it's day only day 3)
