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.

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

[APP] Google Now for ICS ROMs (ParanoidAndroid&AOSP Confirmed)

Google Now for Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs Only​
Found this over on the Sky Rocket forums, and originally on the T-mo GS2 forums, so thanks to: MokujinX5, and of course, the creator, febycv.
Voice is non-functioning on ANY ICS ROM. The only way it will ever function is to have Jelly Bean framework.
Proceed at your own risk.
Tested as working on:
AOSP
ParanoidAndroid
CM9
ProTip: Back up your information.
ProTip: If your device ends up being non-responsive, and somehow starts the zombie apocalypse, I warned you a total of 3 times to be careful, so it is your sole responsibility.
Last ProTip: This isn't my app, all credit goes to febycv.
Requirements
Rooted Device running AOSP
Hands
Procedure
Download this: http://d-h.st/GZ1
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.
Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.
Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1
Now reboot & install the app from the download link.
Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.

Sorry, like I said, I'm not the creator of this, but apparently, voice will not work unless you're on JB, because it need the JB framework to run.

Well, technically, the main function is to search, voice search is an option, you can always type out your search.
Also, what's the point of installing anything that you know isn't stable? It's the fun of testing it, or getting a preview...

I'm using it on a leaked Samsung ICS ROM with very little issues. It's really cool... Can't wait to have a fully functional "now"!

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

Strangely, no contacts show in my G+ hangouts sidebar either. Maybe it isnt implemented in my country or something. Because I removed the talk app from system and downloaded hangouts....

Sent from my Nexus Prime

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

Google talk is now Hangout

Did anyone else get this update is yet?

I haven't downloaded it. When I check through on my desktop, on the Android Market website, it shows Hangouts (replaces Talk) as incompitable with the GN2, or at least the Sprint variant.

Being rooted, I deleted Talk and then installed Hangouts. It works for a short time and then I start seeing a message that says it can't reach Google. Not sure what that's about. I also kept getting a Talk and Hangouts notification every time I got a message and I wasn't allowed to clear the Talk one.
In other news, I manually placed it on my Note 10.1 and it has worked flawlessly...

Having played with Hangouts...
You're better off with Talk and G+. Hangouts doesn't even have online/busy/not-online status, which has been a fundamental piece of online chat since....I dunno....AOL AIM?
I played with the "update for all of 30 minutes before I reflashed my ROM. Hangouts is currently not even a feature-complete AIM replacement. It is pretty, but that is about the only thing it has going for it over what it is supposed to replace.

WRONG!
Some of them only use google account to activate the android phone and to use the app (play) store, they do not use GMail nor Talk or Hangups. At least one is only using iPhone and iMac. I used to talk to him once. He never starts Talk or Hangups since them. They are all on the long long list... Why?? How do I remove them easily?
And: how do I signalize that I am busy and may not be disturbed ("busy" = red)? How can I see that someone is away (Android phone online but screen is off: yellow/orange)?
Sorry but is is crap, CRAP *CRAP*, not an upgrade!
Bask to Talk ... and happy again!

I have the update.. But didn't take it.. I like my inverted talk better
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss :flipoff2:
-SoA: Son's of Android™

I'm in the camp that says it's the biggest piece of crap google has put out in a long time. While I think the name itself is lame as hell. My main issues in order are...
1. All of your contacts are added whether you want them there or not. Face it, I don't want every contact in my address book in my hangout. There is no way to remove the unwanted contacts from the list without blocking them (which also blocks them from your google+. Now I have 200+ names in my hangout. Wheres that stupid sign that we can hang around google's neck.
2. I have 2 separate accounts one for just my family and the other for my xda friends. There is no real way to separate these accounts all the contacts for each are merged together. Again, where's that sign?
3. While it does show when you are online or offline it doesn't give you to option of being away or busy.
There or more but these are my top 3.
It's really a huge step backward from talk.

[SOLVED] Looking for a "Reliable" Call & SMS Reminder App

I'm Looking for a call & SMS reminder app that really works, even after my Nexus 5X goes into deep sleep and on battery.
Have found many threads, many comments, many apps -- but not found one that really works in all situations. They all claim more or less the same, but in real-life testing, they frequently don't remind when the phone sleeps or when it's on battery. Don't need a reminder for email, notification, or anything else.
Simple or complicated. Paid or free. Root or not. I don't care as long at it's reliable.
Any suggestions? Have I overlooked a 'gem'?

If you want to test, that would be great. It needs to continue to run after the phone deep sleeps while on battery. Who knows, when active maybe it will prevent deep sleep. That would be oK too. One more reason for me to respond

Thanks @PiousInquisitor. I checked out Tasker. It appears to be full of capabilities and from what I've discovered, capable of solving my problem. But to be honest - I'm not ready to learn yet another programming language. I'll pass.
FYI: I tried Prof Reminder and I like it -- but just this morning it failed to remind for a missed text until I first woke up the phone.

Thanks. You might be a life-saver. Messed around in Battery optimization but never tried "All apps" and the ability to 'un-optimize' an app. Now, I've got my fav "Prof Reminder" unoptomized. Will test a couple of days to confirm.
Update: Confirmed. Working perfectly with minimal battery drain.
Update2: When deep-sleeping, it will fail to wake up. Works fine as soon as I wake up the phone and enter pwd.
Update3: V2.02 resolves dozing issues with 6.0.1
