[APP] Google Now Alternative - Maluuba - HTC One S

I'm currently running the latest JB MiUi which I thought would have a working Google Now app, negative. Today I came across this baby, Maluuba which is an alternative to just that!
Direct Link - Maluuba v.1.0.3 (thanks frenzyboi)
I've tried it out for myself and love it!
It's even better than Google Now in my opinion.
Have fun, hit thanks

I think it's only available in the US and UK

Delete quicksearchbox.apk from /system/apps than restart your phone. After that just download it from play store (called Google search). Worked like a charm here.

For what it's worth, this worked for me on the AOKP version.

this is a great app
no available for my country so it will be nice if you keep this post updated

Around the world
Hey guys, noticed quite a few people asking why it's not available in their country, so here's a little blog post about our plans for releasing across the world, and an explanation on why we haven't.

Hope it answers your questions, and thanks for all the support!

It's free.. it's not warez.

I should have searched on XDA first!
Nevertheless, I got the APK myself and it works pretty well even though my region is not supported.
Here's their blog post explaining why:

I like it but I like how Google Now actually speaks the answer back to you.

a shame that this currently only in English

This is asking for way too many permissions when installing. All the permissions that can super hack my device. Record audio? WTH
How do I know this app would be safe?

Record audio.. hello.... how do you think you can ask it questions without a microphone?

I just discovered Maluuba, because ICS/JB Roms aren't "perfectly smooth" on my OG Evo, and a GB Google Now build doesn't exist...as of yet.
I actually wouldn't agree that it is better than GNow, but a close second place. When GNow is able to present an audible answer to your question, it is presented in the simplest way.
And of course, GNow has suggestion cards, but that takes a lot of development, and I will be surprised to see it implemented by another developer.

xPhone Pro App

Hello,
2 days ago (friday evening), I downloaded the free (Trial) version of the xPhone (Phone and Contacts) app from Google Play. 2 hours later, I wanted to download the full paying version, and I then noticed that the app had disappeared from Google Play list !
I suppose (am I wrong ?) that this has a link with the fact that Google is going to issue a new phone called X Phone !...
Anyway, I would like to be able to find a working copy of this app (last version is 2.6.3), even paying one, but this seems impossible to me; I have already found for free a "full" version, but it was not working correctly and I desinstalled it.
Is there a place where I can find a true and secure version of this app, at a correct price (the price on Google Play was 2.99 €).
Thanks to you.
Regards from France.
Why don't you contact [email protected] and ask them?
Its the support address for xphone

Hi, I got the xphone pro app when it was available on google play and have been really happy with it but... I also went looking on google play for new themes and also found it had completely disappeared. The pixelrush.net website is still there but the link to google play doesn't work. In the about box it shows that it's a 1 person developer from Russia. He/She did a really good job but must have moved on...
I think maybe you're right about the name clash with google's new project.
Google is going to launch an xPhone in the near feature, and has obvious bought the name from Pixelrush.
The xPhone will be relaunched PR Phone in the near feature.
I just noticed this too... so I don't really care about Googles xPhone. I paid for this app and it's also the best one I've found.
How do I get it?
www.pixelrush.net is down, lol.
AW: xPhone Pro App
Sent a mail to Google support yesterday.
It's not very nice to pay for a app only to find out one day that it is disappeared without acknowledgement.
Of course, like other's pointed out, it's the new brand xphone that might be the cause will post answer from Google....
Edit: Reply from Google says, that the app "seems" to be suspended due to technical problems.
They recommend to contact the developer.
Hope, somebody can post the reply from the dev
Technical problems yea right... but yea maybe someone can get a reply from dev. It's a nice app

Yeah, technical problems
Didn't even bother to reply to Google, because it is probably more an issue with the xphone brand.
I miss xphone too. Would be nice to get the official apk, since I re flashed the phone without a titanium backup.

Today I contacted once again the developer so I can tell you some more news - more or less its Google's fault, they are still too lazy or arrogant to correct the problem. This is the process so far:
*********Pixelrush answer******************
We are already renamed application to PixelPhone.
But application is still blocked by Google and we can't update it. We need to update it with new name, but not publish a new app with new name. Because with new app all existing users lose their purchased license.
Feb 7, 2013 We wrote a letter to trademark holder so they to notify Google again about re-publishing.
Feb 5, 2013 We received an answer from Google is that they unlock the application, upon notification of the copyright holder. We told them that they (trademark holder) already have to get a response from them, and put a copy of a letter from the trademark holder.
"If XXX Company contacts us specifically authorizing your app to be re-published, and your app does not otherwise violate the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy, we will reinstate the app."
Jan 29, 2013 We received a response from the trademark holder that they have notified January 29, 2013 Google, the conflict with us settled and applications can be unlocked. We wrote about this in addition to Google.
Jan 26, 2013 We received a letter from Google, that xPhone and all themes were blocked in Google Play. (Violation of the registered trademark XPhone). To unlock, it was necessary to solve this matter with the trademark holder. Mail was sent to the holder of the settlement of the issue (renaming the application and all materials in Google Play).
****************************************************
Google is blocking and blocking and blocking........

Amazon Appstore Apps to Google Play Apps

Hey. So I was wondering if there was a way to make apps that you have purchased via Amazon, to be recognized and updatable via Play Store?
I bought the Splashtop App from Amazon, but froze the Appstore because it keeps running in the background and using data/battery. But since I've done that, I'm not allowed to run Splashtop. It says I need to install Amazon Appstore.
Is there a way to get around that?
Thanks!
AW: Amazon Appstore Apps to Google Play Apps
There is no way to get around it other than purchasing it on Google play again. It's simple as that. Furthermore I think it won't be possible in the future because amazon and Google are competitors and it is nearly impossible for them to check whether you've bought the app or not.

Try breaking the market link with titanium backup. It works on some apps but not all.

It's a very interesting app. However I would like to have owncloud support before I invest in it. A 14 days trial wouldn't hurt as well.
Cloud Mail.RU would be awesome
