Get "Google Now" on Your Rooted Ice Cream Sandwich

Open Root Explorer or another root-enabled file explorer and go to /system.
Tap the "Mount R/W" button, then scroll down to build.prop and press and hold on it. Tap "Open in Text Editor".
Find the line that says ro.build.version.sdk=15 and change it to read ro.build.version.sdk=16. Press the menu button and tap "Save and Exit".
Go to /system/app and hold-press GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. Rename it to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1. If that file doesn't exist (it didn't for me), just skip this step.
Reboot your phone and install the Google Now APK, once again available here.http://d-h.st/GZ1
Go back and edit build.prop as described in step two, and change the ro.build.version.sdk line back to 15.
Reboot your phone one last time.

So Tumpy, I followed the instructions for my rooted ICS 4.0.4 E4GT phone, and the app installs fine, asks for permissions, but something happens and it won't take voice input or give voice output. I can see that it will be awesome when it works.

You don't need to do half the things in the OP. There is a large thread about it in the Android Apps and Games subforum. Voice does not work- it's a kernel thing, not just an app.

Will not Boot into CWM

Ive been trying to install Glorious overdose for three days now and no matter what I do, I cant get my SK4G to boot into CWM, im rooted, have rom manager and have the zip for GO 3.3 in my root folder but it just seems to boot to normal recovery no matter what I do, any help please? I read that rom manager doesnt work, is that still true?
Thanks

Have you overwritten the stock recovery file on your phone? You'll need a file manager that can use SU in addition to root access. Also, you'll need to mount your internal storage as rw in order to overwrite the stock recovery using the root file manager of your choice.

Alright, bear with me I am a mega noob, I pick up on thigns fast though.
I have ES File explorer, and downloaded total commander, I tried to overwrite the recovery file in the system/bin and it says SU error, only giving me the option to Skip "failed /mnt/sdcard/sdcard" cross device link
Im not really sure how to mount/ unmount

I would download Ghost Commander from Google Play. It supports SU mode and is free. Most options to do anything can be accessed through the menu key. You'll have to enable root/SU mode in Ghost Commander since it's not enabled by default. Plus, you'll need to copy the file in that app and mount the file system as rw- (read-write). I forget the folder off-hand where the recovery is located at. *Standard Disclaimer*: Do these things at your own risk.

See, I still have no idea how to mount or unmount lol. And Ill try that, thanks
I moved file to bin with the ghost commander app, it had a #rw next to the bin folder name. Now how to check mounts?

I'm guessing you are referring to checking mounts during ROM installation? That is done in CWM itself. If it says # means you have root and if it says rw means you have read and write capabilities. Once you have that, move the recovery.bin you downloaded from krylon and move it to system. It should ask you if you want to replace existing recovery. Then once thats there and you have the update zip on the root (main part of your SD card, not a folder or anything), go into normal Samsung recovery and reinstall. Should take you to CWM if you moved recovery correctly! Thats when you need to check mounts.

I haven't used Ghost Commander, but I downloaded the free version of SuperManager 3.0 to move the recovery file.
If you use SuperManager, you just go to the file manager (slide to screen 4, top left), you will start out in MNT/SDCARD. First, click the menu button and choose "setup." You will see "ROOT" and click on it, check "Enable ROOT function" then you will be promoted by SuperUser [su] to allow access, hit yes. Back out of the menu so that you are back to the SDCard [note: sometimes you find that you are in the system file after enabling root, if so scroll to the top and click 'Back up level folder' then choose 'SDCard' If you get a popup which says "Switch system r/w" at the top, choose "R/W"].
Once back at MNT/SDCARD, scroll to the recovery file, click and hit 'copy'. Scroll back to the top and click 'Back up level folder' until you are back where the "system" file is located - top where it read "MNT/SDCARD" will read "/ (R/O)" or "/ (R/W)" and if it only shows "/" then you need to enable ROOT still. If it shows "(R/O)" at this level, that is okay. Scroll to "system" [if you have already been promoted to choose "R/W" you will likely notice that the top reads "/SYSTEM (R/W)"] and click to enter, click "bin" to enter, click "paste." If you have not already been promoted to do so, you will be promoted to change directory to R/W [read/wright, versus R/O read only]. If it asks about replacing the file, choose whichever option replaces the file, you do not want to save with a different file name.
If you are using a different file manager, you may find the process very similar. Good luck! Glorious Overdose is a good ROM [though I have not used v.3, I have used v.2 and really enjoy it].

[Q] Atrix 2 Issue Enabling Hotspot and ICS Update

[QUOTE from Another Thread]
Using SQLite
1.open settings storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
2.open settings.db
3.settings
4.search for dun_apn_changeable and dun_enable
5.Change both of their values to 1
---------------
I have an Atrix 2 running 2.3.6 rooted. (Rooted with SuperOneClick)
I want to enable the Wifi Hotspot feature, I have read several threads on this group, but I do not understand if I download SQlite on my pc and run it or my phone.
I downloaded the program on my phone, but when I open it all I get is a black screen with a box in the upper left corner with a magnifying glass in it, below that I see this "/data/data/com.xuecs.sqlitemanager/databases/defaultdb" The instructions I have read make absolutely no sense to me, the first step says "open settings storage" There is no way to open any thing as far as I can tell. I'm kind of lost here....Can someone help me out?
I want to update to ICS, I get an error, it downloads the file, resets the phone, when the android screen comes up the insallation bar goes about a third of the way then it stops and then it reboots, once its up and running it says "update failed" I have opened SuperOneClick and hit the unroot button, it says it was sucessful and it removes the Superuser app but the ICS OTA update still does not work. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

More detailed instructions for enabling wifi tether can be found at the following link, and I'm also pasting them here in full for anyone else curious. Note that this was the procedure for enabling everything on ICS. I'm not sure whether anything is different on Gingerbread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32347835&postcount=4
Things you will need:
ES File Explorer (free from play store)
aSQLiteManager (free from play store)
1. Launch ES File Explorer and within its settings, grant it full root permissions (near the bottom of settings, go in and check all four checkboxes).
2. From ES File Explorer navigate upward out of your SD card and onto the root of your device, then go into Data/Data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases
3. Copy the "settings.db" file found there over to your SD card
4. Using aSQLiteManager select "Open Database" and pick that settings.db file on your SD card.
5. Select "settings" from the four tables you are presented with
6. Select "Data" from the top button menu
7. You'll see a long list of crap. Hit PgDn until you see line 113 "entitlement_check". Hit Edit and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. While you're here, also go to lines 117 and 118 that start with "dun" and change them both from 0 to 1. This is not necessary for Webtop but will enable wifi hotspot tethering.
9. Exit aSQLiteManager, go back into ES File Explorer and this time copy the modified "settings.db" back into the previous/original folder from Step 2, overwriting the old file.
10. Exit ES File Explorer, reboot your device and Webtop should work as expected.

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I didnt have the File Explorer at first..lol Once I did take care of things and rebooted the phone I kept getting errors that said "The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly" I hit force close and cancel both but the error would keep popping up at random times, plus other errors would pop up random apps running in the background would stop unexpectedly. Then the power button would not lock the screen anymore....The tethering worked though! I ended up doing a factory reset because the errors popped up so often the phone was useless.
I did not touch anything else but Line 150 which was the Entitlement Check line so I have no idea what went wrong.
One other thing, I would like to uprgade to ICS but since my phone is rooted I can't do it OTA, is there a way to manually do it? I remember when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I just put a file on the SD card and installed it, can I do that with ICS 4.0?

Enabling Adobe's Flash Player in Dolphin Browser for Android 4.1.x

[Edit] NOTE: As of late June 2013, use of Adobe Flash Player was re-enabled in Dolphin Browser version 10.0.0.
On devices running Android 4.1.x (Jelly Bean), Adobe's Flash Player cannot be enabled via settings in the latest versions of Dolphin Browser (version 9.4.2 as of June 2013). When you try to enable Flash Player in Dolphin's settings, Dolphin will display a warning message saying Flash Player cannot be enable on devices running Android 4.1.x. However, this can be thwarted on devices that have root access.
All you have to do is delete Dolphin's setting's preferences file; i.e.,
/data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml
Doing this will cause Dolphin to recreate the preferences file with all the settings reset to their default values except "Flash Player" will be set to "Always On". Of course, because the settings are reset to their default values, you will need to go through the settings and set them to how you had them set before you deleted the preferences file.
If you do not have Adobe's Flash Player for Android installed on your tablet, you can download it from Adobe's Archived Flash Player Versions web page. Search for the list titled "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" to find and download the latest version (11.1.115.69 as of early July 2013) to your device and install it. You can ignore that it says "for Android 4.0", it will also run on Android 4.1.x. You can test that Flash Player is working in Dolphin by going to Adobe's Find Version web page.
This may also work with Android 4.2.x, but I do not have a device running 4.2.x to test it on. Perhaps someone running Android 4.2.x can test it and let us know.

Make sure all associated directories are set to r/w. BTW, you can also delete the file by connecting your device to a computer and using adb shell to run the rm command.

Hi,
OK, the problem is that when l click root explorer, l get an error message:

So it explains why l cannot go further, but why the feature cannot run it is a mistery to me.

I have never used Genymotion, so I cannot help you. Also, Adobe Flash Player was re-enabled in Dolphin Browser version 10.0.0, so if you update to Dolphin Browser 10.0.0 or higher, performing the procedure described in the original post is unnecessary.

Keyboard layout functions not working HELP?!?!?

When I go into Device>System>usr>keylayout>sec_keypad.kl I changed the funtion keys from:
key 59 MENU
key 60 HOME
to:
key 59 HOME
key 60 MENU
I then restarted the phone but there was no change to the settings. I went back to the sec_keylayout.kl file and it shows that the keys have still been changed but there is no effect to the phone at all. I've also downloaded the program called "Buttom Remapper" but the changes I make there has no effect either. I'm also looking for ways to remap the long press functions on some of the keys but I'm not sure which numbers represent those functions. I also know about "Home2shortcut" but that application only works with home buttons which this phone does not have. I also have my phone rooted but I don't know if its S-OFF or S-ON so i don't know if that could be a reason I'm having this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Did you mount the system as r/w before making changes to the file? Otherwise, the changes won't stick. I use Script Manager to mount the system as r/w - edit the file- save- remount the system as r/o- exit and done. This always works for me. Also,there are a couple of good threads on here about remapping keys and alt layouts, there might be an answer there. I don't think being s-on or s-off has anything to do with your problem - I'm pretty sure that is an HTC thing and doesn't apply to Samsung devices. Perhaps your experience is already past this but I wanted to to try. Sorry, I can't be more help than that. Good luck!

I could download Manager Script right now but how do you mount as r/w with script manager?? also can I mount the system as r/w with other programs such as "root explorer" or ES File Explorer?? I wouldn't even know how to remount the system as r/o after im done since this the first time im doing anything like this :crying:

Open Script Manager - select Browse as Root - choose "Always" when prompted. Next, press your Menu key - this will pop up a menu of options - choose Advanced - this will give you more selections - choose mount system as r/w - exit by pressing your Home button (leaving script manager running in the background. Now any changes you want to make can be written to the system. When done go through the options again to remount the system as r/o. This app also has a built-in text editor, so you can make and save changes from within.
Root Explorer and ES can do some of these things. I use ES to manage files sometimes but I'm not really sure about mounting and re-mounting the system. Script Manager for sure can do all this. Another option is to use terminal, either on a computer or an app on the phone. Here's a link to a guide.

Hope this solves your problem. Even if it doesn't these are still good things to know.

Open Script Manager - select Browse as Root - choose "Always" when prompted. Next, press your Menu key - this will pop up a menu of options - choose Advanced - this will give you more selections - choose mount system as r/w - exit by pressing your Home button (leaving script manager running in the background. Now any changes you want to make can be written to the system. When done go through the options again to remount the system as r/o.

Ok so these are the steps I took exactly:
*Opened the Script Manager and gave it superuser permissions
* Selected the menu button and selected advanced
*selected the option that says "Mount/system as FW"
*then I went into Device>System>usr>keylayout>sec_keypad.kl in Script Manager
*Then I selected "text." But when I did that a screen popped up that read:
"you only have read permission with this file. do you want to create a local copy and edit it or open file directly"
*Then I selected "create copy" and when I did that a small Notification popped up that read:
"File RW permission denied, using a copy"
I don't know if you are getting the same notifications or screen popups as well but from what Im understand is that these popups are not good and its basically telling me that something went wrong during the mounting process. Any suggestion??
P.S. I also have a video of the steps if you would like to see

You were doing fine up until the point you selected to "create copy". At this point, you want to "open directly" so that you can edit the file. When you are done, save and your changes should stick. It would be wise to back up the original file somewhere. In case something goes wrong, you can always delete your mistake and put the original back in place.
