Google Search - Latest Update
v3.1.8
Changes:
It officially brings Search version 3 (3.1.8 to be exact) that shipped in KitKat to all devices running 4.1+. This includes an updated UI, new refresh animation, among other things.
Because Search houses the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) inside, this update also brings GEL to all devices running Android 4.1+. All you need to do after installing Search 3.1.8 is install the launcher app from here, and voila - GEL for all, not just KitKat devices. I have it running on 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4 on both phones and tablets, and it finally looks perfect.
As I mentioned above, 3.1.8 completely fixes the wonky GEL layout on tablets. As you may have seen yesterday, several things on the Nexus 7, for example, were out of whack - the keyboard was popping when you tapped Home, the icons were old, and the Search box was off-center. All fixed.
Remember: GEL does support transparency in the navigation and status bars, but you need KitKat for that to work. And Google disabled it system-wide on the Nexus 10.
New cards:
Website update card
News topic card
What to watch card
Traffic incidents using Waze on maps.
Recurring reminders.
Real-time scores for rugby teams
See when your packages are ready for in-store pickup.
You can now bring back dismissed cards by pressing Undo.

I figured it out. I went and installed English(US) from the "Offline speech recognition".That seemed to do the trick for me. lol
As a last question, anyone know how to access the HTC one widgets? I can't see them under the widgets section.
i get google search force close with GEL . Xperia S 4.1.2
Works for me on Android Revolution 31.5, but is there a way for this to replace the locksreen? It's awkward with this launcher but the Sense lockscreen.

Managed to get my cards back, changed my system language (not the just the google voice language) to US English
As soon as i did that i get all the cards back including the new ones
I just updated Google Search and skipped GEL....The new Google Search works flawlessly on ViperOne 2.7
Great all working. " Ok Google" works only in English US. Hope will be quickly available in French.

Ok I've installed both apks but in settings I don't have the hot word detection setting. Am I doing something wrong. I have the language pack installed but I still don't get it. I'm using revolution 31.5.
Just received the official update and works great.
I get a "placeholder text: google search not found" when i try to launch GEL, but I have everything needed installed

Its a good start. Needs some improvements Im gonna keep an eye on it. Would like to see the ability to send messages from widget instead of launching talk. Also its crashing alot on me on axium 2.4. Sent a report
https://market.android.com/details?...UwMSwiZGUuRnI0Z2cwci5UYWxrV2lkZ2V0LmxpZ2h0Il0.
Wow, thought one would never come. Considering I use Gtalk almost religiously, it's fantastic that there's finally a widget of some sort for it. I've always wondered why something like Gtalk didn't have more support for it.
This app is a good start but like others have mentioned, sending messages from the widget itself would be awesome.
nice find. works fairly well, it just needs the interface cleaned up a bit
I would also like to see the ability to only show active chats. Its definitely a work in progress bi just really hope this gets the attention it deserves
Thanks! Works pretty well.

Thanks for the tip, it worked and the widget did download and install now. But now I can not use the widget. I go between a Sense ROM(Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6) and a CMX ROM(Android4.1.1) and the Sense ROM is the one I had trouble installing the widget on. On the Sense ROM the widget showed up once in my list of widgets and put the widget on my home screen. But it just opens up to the settings for the widget, and it does the same when I open the widget in the app tray. So I removed it from my home screen and now it does not show in my list of widgets but it is in my app tray still. I will be testing it on my CMX ROM later today and will post back with feed back on it as well.
Edit: I just now realized this thread is in the Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps forum. I have a HTC Sensation but I found this thread by google search for a G Talk Widget.
Has this been removed from the market?
Is an apk still available?
TIA

Google Play Store 3.9.16 - Remove Entries From All Apps, Keep Track Of Position In Lists, Expandable Notifications, And More
Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Apps/Games, News
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
Update #4: The notification icon after installing an app now shows the app icon instead of something generic.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything - in the meantime, check out the screenshots and grab the new version from our mirrors.

We verified the APK as legitimate and signed by Google, so have no fear. Just download it to your device and install as you would any other APK - it'll prompt to update your current Play Store.

for me it works (4.0.4)
have you done it as described ?
long press on first app, so it´s marked, then short press on further apps
works for me im on SGS II GT-I9100 on CM 10-20121011-NIGHTLY-i9100
Works for me too on SlimBean 2.6
About time they started doing something about that list, but ...
Google need to implement features to be able to sort lists, especially that All Apps list. In the past it used to be sorted by the date the app was last installed, but now it is on the date when the app was first ever installed on the account, which is annoying.
Sometimes when I do a full wipe, I like to do fresh isntalls of all my apps, and the All Apps used to be ready handy for that as all my recently installed apps (and most requently used) will be at the top and all the apps that I installed and removed and never used again would be at the bottom. Now its just a pain trying to scroll through that entire list. An option to sort it how I like would be priceless.

Hey everyone. Today I released a new version of my app, Tablified Market HD and I'd really like for you guys to check it out.
Tablified Market HD is the largest database of Android tablet apps. It is a curated list of apps that have been specifically designed to take advantage of the screen real estate of your tablet.
We've completely revamped this version with a brand new Holo interface. We replaced the aging list view with a beautiful, snappy grid view-similar to what the Google Play store offers. The UI itself was inspired from the Google Now cards.
We add apps constantly. Featured graphics are changes out every couple weeks and apps are added every 1-2 days depending on what we find. Remember, if developers don't make tablet apps, we have nothing to add.
I hope you enjoy my app!
Here's what's in version 4.4.1:
[NEW] Removed App & Prize sections until we fix the loading error
[NEW] Added exit confirmation prompt when pressing back button
[FIXED] In search results, back button takes you to previous page of results
[FIXED] After selecting app from the search results, pressing the top-left icon now takes you back to the results
[FIXED] In search results, the top-left button takes you back to the main app screen.

I really love the new update on my Nexus 7.
The new UI is beautiful and simple, just like a tablet UI should be.
You have done a very good Job!

I think its because the uploaded apk is for android 4.2. What rom are you using and what android version?
Apparently, you have to type or say " OK Maps" in the search bar to view offline maps.

Yea I was disappointed at first when I found the same problem, but this seems to be the answer to this for the time-being. It doesn't allow as wide a view when caching, it seems I can just barely get all of NYC into one screen anymore without being told to zoom in.

Thanks for this, mate! :good: Works good on both my nexus devices! But just so everyone knows this is still partly (Nav & certain other stuff) in beta Guess they are really dumping Latitude just like they did with Reader. Good move on their part though. Never really found it that useful anyways :victory:

I wonder if they did this intentionally, since the new map app directions look similar to new navi just not green at the top, also don't see any navi installed, so it could be built in to the maps app.
Anyone else have keyboard cut off issues in landscape mode?
Otherwise it's a good update.
I'm also finding the new saved "ok maps" feature actually loads up much quicker, even when zooming in/out, likely since the save file is of a much smaller area.

Navigation has always been built into the Maps app, they just removed a shortcut.

Well if built in meant there was a button that launched another app then yes it was there previously.
But then now we'd also have to say Google earth is built in to the new maps app since it is listed under the side slide menu, yet still launches a separate app, which needs to be installed.

To install, simply launch the Market and tap Update.
Can't you get this from the app store? Or is this a special version?

I see. What's the benefit of the newest version? I heard the new maps was dreadful and don't update.

It is awful, like a rubbish apple app. Destroyed latitude, location history, labs.
All to promote Google+ so more people use locations.

So create the shortcut, rolling back to 6 is dumb.

What's so great about version 7? With version 6.*, all I have to do is tap the microphone icon and speak. With version 7, first I have to tap the search bar, THEN tap the microphone, speak the address I'm wanting...THEN tap it again to route the map.
Version 6...One tap and I'm off to the races.
Version 7...three taps to do the same.
Would you mind explaining your shortcut to eliminate the extra inputs?

Nothing's "great" about 7. But it's better than having to avoid the update in the market. No matter what you do, TiBu detach, etc, it WILL show back up as an update, and that's just annoying
As for the shortcut to Navigation, that's simple. I did it in Nova in seconds, but your launcher may vary.. Long-press, Create Shortcut, Activities, Map, look for the Navigation intent. Created the typical blue pointer icon etc.
BTW, 7.2 makes Navigation less pokes. I agree that 7.0/7.1 you had to tap about 5 times to navigate which seemed pretty silly.

I'm using a stock (rooted) Nexus 7 What I'm understanding is I'll have to change launchers in order to have (back) what I want? Long pressing a screen shows no 'Create Shortcut' options.

Actually no, even though Nova is much nicer than the AOSP launcher. But you don't have to change, there are apps in the market to create shortcuts.
I don't use any of them since Nova does it itself, but this seemed to find some: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=create shortcut
Sounds like I should take the Nova for a drive. I've heard about it,just never had the need...'til now.
Thanks for the info.
