I was wondering why my version of Google search doesn't include Google now (with the cards). I have a nightly of cm10 installed with the 10-11 gapps.
My friend has a full version with cm10 on an HTC phone. Is it just the current development of cm10 on the s3 doesn't support the cards?
Thanks
It has google now. You must have messed up. Check the settings in the google search menu. You might not have opted in yet

I've actually noticed this as well. I can make a card come up if I search for like local weather but there's no place to set locations or favorites and cards never randomly come up for me

You have a nightly with gapps that are a month old? That could be your issue. If you're running a month old rom, then you most definitely will be missing features. I'd advise you to update your rom, and also you can update google search from the play store as well.
Google now updates through the play store. That isn't the problem

No, I think you misunderstood me. I am running the 11/7 nightly of CM10 with the 10/11 version of gapps. As far as i can tell the 10/11 gapps are the most current on goo.im unless I'm missing something.
Also apparently it asks you to opt in to the Google Now service when you first launch it, but I never remember getting that
If you tap on the microphone on the search widget you will be directed to the search app. In there hit the menu button to go to settings. Now turn on Google Now.
I get voice, search, and privacy settings. No obvious settings in any of them that would fix the issue

Open up Google Now -> Settings -> Google Now -> Make sure it's turned on (top right corner), and if it is, go into each category you need and make sure each is turned on as well.

The problem is is that there is no Google Now setting in the app. Other people are missing it too
Yep no Google now setting for me either

I'm running VBRLJ1 leaked ROM and it appears I only have Google Search. I see nothing about Google Now anywhere. I've gone through all location settings, web history, etc.. it's all open for google to track me.
I also only get cards when I search for things. No option to "see more cards" or "see sample cards".
Basically I don't have Google Now and this surprises me. Anyone know of a fix for the leaked VBRLJ1 folks? I'm unrooted at the moment.
Thanks.
Same here on CM10. I'm beginning to think it's my university gapps account that is the problem. What kinds of Google accounts do you guys have?

If you just push the widget you won't get cards. Press the blue Google search app in the drawer. Then answer the 4 questions and opt in to it
Thanks for trying but that's the whole problem you never get the option to opt in and you never get the questions. I've tried full data wipes and the option just never comes up

Use titanium to uninstall the current Google search. Reboot. And install the one from the market
Tried it. No cigar. No questions, no opt in etc

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

No, just settings on the phone such as wifi access points, what your phone brightness/time out was set as, bookmarks for stock browser, and other various things, it just means data exclusive to Google Apps I believe

I have 3.10.9 Play Store.. Flashed the multi DPI JB version. Works fine for a day or so then it'll revert back to an older version ( 3.9.something I think) and more than half of my apps won't show up under My Apps. It is fixed by reflashing the multi DPI Play Store zip, but I don't understand why it is even happening. Is there a permanent fix or anything I can try?

Which zip did you flash?
I had that happen to me once yesterday, but it switched on me from inverted back to normal (fixed after a reflash and hasn't happened again).
It is called Multi DPI Play Store for JB.zip. I think I found it in the int'l GSII forum but according to OP it was tested on many different devices and comments by other users reflected that.

That's the one I use and other than the 1 problem I had yesterday (that only cropped up after a TiBu restore) I really haven't had any issues.
That's definitely the one.. I'm so confused then.. Maybe it's an issue with the rom, although I doubt it (SlimBean).. What rom are you on?

Definitely not an issue with Slim Bean, unless you are flashing an addon app after you're flashing the multi dpi play store.
Though, the play store that comes with Slim should be multi dpi...

Reflashed the rom and gapps, rebooted, let the rom settle, then set up my Google account. Opened Play Store, made sure I wasn't having any issues, then closed it and cleared data for Play Store and Google Services Framework. Booted into recovery and flashed multi DPI Play Store.. Worked fine until I rebooted the phone an hour later and now I have 3.9.x instead of 3.10.x. I don't understand why this is happening but it's driving me crazy.

So now that 4.2 has rolled out I decided to make a thread about good widget apps that work on the new Android 4.2 Lock screen. Feel free to contribute to it.
My share
*DashClock
-This is what the 4.2 lock screen should be. Shows you're unread messages, phone calls, email, and even weather. And more to come. Also...it's OPEN SOURCE. So a lot of extensions are being added.
*Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
-Good weather widgets, look very clean and highly customizable.
Sent from my Skyrocket using XDA Premium
Are you looking for widgets that will work or just ones that people like? Because I do believe, any widget can be added to the lockscreen.
Edit: Thanks for the DashClock suggestion. Looks good. :good:

I haven't knowingly modified either, but will go through the settings to double check. I went from stock -> CM10 -> CM10.1. I'm in the US, and haven't connected with the phone from overseas, so the store should be set to US. Thanks for the suggestion.

That helped a bit. I cleared the data and cache & rebooted the phone. Now it shows up in my search results, which it did not before, but says "Your device isn't compatible with this version."
I checked and my DPI is still set to the default of 240. I never attempted to change the store region or used the phone outside of the US. That combined with the resetting of the market data I assumes means it's set correctly. I didn't see a quick way to determine what region it thinks it is, other than it's showing prices in US dollars.

You could try flashing the ROM & gapps again. You shouldn't need to wipe if it's the same ROM and shouldn't lose any data. That should reset everything. PM me if you have any further questions.
I updated to the 2/16 nightly and cleared the market cache and data, lo' and behold it installed.
However, as luck would have it, the Exchange profile my company requires prevents lock screen widgets. I hadn't tried one till I saw Dash Clock.
Ah well. I'll continue using it on my tablet. Thanks for the suggestions.
