I've looked everywhere, and there is no option to check the enable offline voice to text in Jellybean on the Nexus S. What's up with that?

Yep it seems google considered nexus s hardware not capable of doing offline voice typing. I used ASOP JB rom and it was there working fine. So CM10 will bring it to nexus S also with hotword detection for google now.

[Solved]
On many ICS ROMs, it seems Google Maps cannot see the compass--I believe this because the direction arrow does not show (instead a blue dot appears). On some ROMs/phones, the feature works perfectly (Stock 4.0.2 and AOKP 4.0.3 for Galaxy Nexus). On older versions of Maps (v5.12), the feature also works.
Is there any good way to debug this? I've tried copying values from a GNex /system/build.prop into my phone. I've verified that this problem does not just affect my phone/ROM, but other phones running other ICS ROMs. Failing that, I assume the only way to file a bug is to post a message on the Android Google Group?
Edit: One other thing to try: I should try modifying the environment before launching Maps to be more like the GNex environment. I should also try completely copying the GNex build.prop to my phone (I need to make a nandroid backup first because this could prevent the phone from booting.)
Solved: This is stupid, but the compass rotation works only if auto-rotate is enabled. So if you don't like auto-rotate, use Smart Rotator to enable it only for Google Maps.
hi everybody~
i also have the same problem....i'm running Ice Cream Sony by krabappel2548 on Xperia Neo, the map could not rotate to the direction i'm facing....
however i tried other compass app from market and it's working
Hi, I found a solution. Enable auto-rotate for Google Maps. It's still a bug, but this way at least it can be used.
Or just downgrade to Map-5.12.
1. Is there a rom or even a kernel that can fully customize the touch-led buttons below the nexus s? For example, instead of the google search button functioning as google search, it will open the messaging app. The google search is very redundant on this device.
2. I've tried more than 10 kernels for stock 4.1.2 and nothing works perfectly. Matr1x kernel is has the most stable kernel for BLN, but it's slow and laggy for 4.1.2.
_thalamus kernel is fast but it doesn't have BLN; the modified _thalamus kernel is also fast but BLN does not work properly:
Whenever backlight notifications blink/turns on when i got new messages and i unlock the device, the backlight is completely gone unless i re-lock and unlock the device.
What is the most perfect kernel for 4.1.2 that will properly enable BLN and voodoo, and is as fast as _thalamus kernel?
3. In older phones there is an app where you can see and select sim-card services for checking prepaid balance and other stuff. Where is this in android jelly bean, or is there even an app like that in any android device/versions?
1. Unfortunately the Nexus S have capacitive buttons, I think there are only limited functions that can be assigned to them, which is a feature available in AOKP roms. If you get a Galaxy Nexus or enable the Navigation Bar feature in your rom, then you can do full customization.
2. I'm grateful for what are available now. I think if you want a proper notification light system you should get a Nexus or S3 or a phone with one.
3. I think you are missing the point of Nexus devices which are unlocked devices (the GSM ones anyway). The apps to see balances are provided by carriers for subsidized phones locked to their services. I know you can get carrier apps like that in the Market.

thanks for the quick response and easy explanation.
it didn't cross my mind that carriers created apps for that purpose. i already got mine through google store :laugh:

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about setting an Play Store app as default apps through the Google voice search command.
First let me say I have the Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am currently not rooted. I am using APEX pro as my launcher and the clock app I prefer to use and am currently having issues setting as my default is Clock JB+ (a stock jelly bean clock app). I have the long hold menu option in my Apex launcher set to activate Google voice search. I don't use S voice because it tends to be very inaccurate.
My issue is, I would like to use Google voice search to set alarms and reminders. Google Voice search works fine but for some reason every time I restart me phone it will ask me again and again which clock app I would like to use as my default for this action. Stock or Jelly Bean. I have gone through the app manager and deleted all data, cache and defaults for both apps with no luck at all. Dose anyone have any suggestions? I apologize their is alot to take in with all my settings and different apps but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

Im just curious if its the fact that the Google voice command is internet based unlike s voice so each time the phone establishes a new connection it resets? or would it be something in the jelly bean clock software? im just very curious as to how to solve this issue
Just seems stuck there.
It's part of the OS now, and it's not something you can really get rid of without using a custom ROM. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's there to stay on the "pure stock" Nexus 5.
If you change your launcher that will get rid of it. But then you loose "OK Google" listening functionality

You've never been able to get rid of that on the stock launcher.
The only way is to download/buy a custom launcher like Nova or Apex. Doing so you lose the 'ok google' from the homescreen and slide to google now, and all 4.4 features like the transparency.
Nova and Apex i'm sure will add the 4.4 graphics but the other features most likely will never be added.
Nova has supported gestures for years. You would not lose slide to now. Nova also has transparency support build in though I can't say yet if it works on 4.4
Ok Google May be lost but that is not certain. If it is reliant on the launcher.

I'm amazed android still haven't implemented the gestures of nova, like swipe down for notification bar. On these large screens it's vital

With the source for KitKat being available, and with it being a Nexus device, i honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see an update come down the line at some point soon from Nova with support for a lot of KitKat's features, even quite possibly "Ok Google"
Since I don't use google now the swipe and voice functions are no loss to me. On the other hand I will never use their stock launcher until I can move the search bar out of the location where it is and put it where I have put it since android came out. Really torques me that its immovable, I mean how many ways do you need to open up google now on the same screen for christ sake?
reply for ur answer

This thread was from a year ago.
Okay, for a bit of background information I among many others have a Galaxy S6 and am currently experiencing a crippled hotword detection from Ok Google.
It only works in the app and where the widget is on a home screen. It does not work when it is off or in a different APP.
I am hoping someone who is rooted and has the same problem can temporarily adjust their build prop under the model and change it to Nexus 5 or SM-N910F and see if that restores the functionality of the google hotword detections under the settings.
When you go to the google search application, go to settings, click on voice, click on "Ok Google" detection, there should be multiple options here, not just "From the Google App". A reboot and maybe even a re-install of the google search apk may be required to properly test this. Either way, let me know. Thank you.

Apparently its been disabled.... If you use Nova launcher it will work from any home screen but it no longer works from any app... Which is a bummer... Used it all the time

Thanks for your reply, but it seems as though you didn't read what I wrote.
I know that it has been disabled. I believe an actual work around may be to modify the build prop as other phones are still functional.
Nova Launcher and the Google Now launcher allow you to use the hotword detection from any home screen, but they do not work in apps or when the screen is off, which is the key here.
