Google Now stopped working - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a MZ601 user from Hong Kong, running EOS4 #132 and Google now is not working.
Matter of fact, Google Now, stopped working for me as soon as Google gave it its last update. Once I updated it through play store (or any other 3rd party market), it would load up, load every card, and then just closes. There will be no force close message or anything. It would just open up, load cards, and then closes.
Google now works when I uninstall the update, making the stock version run, but when I update it again, it would fail me again.
So far have not heard the same problem from any other users other than @5nikers. We have pm-ed each other and we can find a solution.
I am seeking for help, wondering if anyone have the same problem, and if so, any solutions?
Desperate for help,
Blue

Hi, either disable voice search and allow google search to upgrade, or pin to the bundled version from the gapps package you flashed and enjoy the full featues.
Cheers!

Also, I'd suggest making a nandroid backup and upgrading to the latest eos4 (-165 and 12/16 gapps)
JB 4.2.1 is nice and smooth with notable improvements over JB 4.1.

You need enable Dt2w with faux clock or other tweaker
later go to Wake gestures and now it work
It does not work quite right ...
Although I can install the kernel, the camera does not work properly, try as abriral says "can't connect to the camera", everything else works fine ... but I can not help if the kernel does not work very well.

I had to fall back to 17+ because 18+ broke my native hotspot, is native hotspot working in 18+ yet??
Camera?
I love this kernel as its the only one that I know of that still has OC. But everytime I try to open any camera app, even stock, it says that it can't connect to the camera. Why does it do that? Is there something I did wrong?
can anyone link me to the 17+ version can't find it
I had some problems with the camera it shows an error message but it worked fine. I flashed the old camera libs and now camera fc when I open it. What should I do? Are there any "new" libs to flash and fix it? (I am on stock 4.4.4)
No more dtw2 in xperience 17/18?
Hey,
Using these kernel for a while know. I read that dt2w does not work in 17 and 18 using unly trickstermod? Do I need to have a special xposed mod for that?
Thanks

HI! i have updated my cyanogen mod at the ultimate nightly. Reflashed xperience-18 kernel, and every time i open the youtube app, i got an error and the app crash.
Every time i see an video in chrome, chrome beta, the audio is playing and the video is in black screen, still a few seconds and chrome crash.
i've done a fresh reinstall of cyanogen (with all wipes), then open youtube app and videos in chrome/chrome beta and all function ok. Then flash xperience kernel, and the problems come again.
Any ideas? some other people with the same issue?
Thanks!

[APP][MATERIAL][4.2+]Google Maps v9.0.0

Google Maps. Material Design. That's pretty much all I need to say, right? Here it is.
Installation :-
1) Download it
2) Just install it like a normal apk & update the existing Google Maps package
The new version of maps isn't just a visual overhaul, though - a few functional tidbits are packed in as well. Deeper Uber integration will allow you to see the estimated pickup time for an Uber, as well as the estimated fare based on the directions you're currently seeking under the transit or walking direction modes.
OpenTable integration is packed in, too, allowing you to reserve a table right from a restaurant's Maps info card, which is certainly pretty nice. Otherwise, most of the changes are design-oriented, and you can read a bit more about them in the LatLong blog post, right here.
Update :-
Here is the Maps 9.0 APK. Enjoy.
The APK is signed by Google and upgrades your existing app. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take days, download and install it just like any other APK.
Version :-
9.0.0
Download for 4.3 + :-
From the link below :-
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-0-0-apk
Download for 4.2 + :-
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-0-0-android-4-2-apk
Press thanks :thumbup: if i helped

The API level used to create apps for Jellybean does not support it I guess.
The material design apps use different API level ....for development.
Darn figured as much. Thanks for replying!

rom not booting properly on kt kernel on kltspr ,boots to splash screen then goes black and stays like that i let it sit for about half hour nothing ,booted into rom with no custom kernel and boots fine .
OK thanks, good to know, but as long as it boots as I built it I'm good. Ty
Smoother than butter! One main issue for me though
First of all, GREAT ROM! Sadly I have to second what @kalico17 said about the WiFi. It scans and finds networks but won't connect. Thankfully LTE is working though.
EDIT: Sorry I posted in Q&A, I have less than 10 posts so it won't let me post on the main discussion.
Thanks!

Just clean flashed today's build, same issue with wifi it finds the networks and allows you to enter password but just says saved and never connects. Can't wait till this is fixed cause otherwise it's an awesome rom!
OK flash my last cm 11 ROM found on my site, then dirty flash this build.
wifi working on unencrypted networks
Discovered that wifi is working only on open networks, any encrypted networks it just says saved and won't connect.
Edit: I just read your post, I haven't tried flashing your cm 11 build yet, will try and report. Thanks.
No wi-fi
Same problem with wi-fi as all others. It shows saved but does not connect. I also put in an incorrect password and it did the same thing, it only showed saved. It showed no notification of an incorrect password. No accept or reject.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi only works without security
Yea its being looked into a lot of people are saying this. Be patient lol.
No wi-fi
Wi-Fi only works non secure. It will only "save" with a secure network and not connect.
Updated but still wifi issue
dirty Flashed 12- 7 over 12-4 build same wifi issue, clean flashing 12-7 now and will report.

possible to flash future builds without having to clean wipe?
I'm just wondering if it will be possible to flash future builds without having to wipe the device. Whenever I've updated without wiping Google play services keeps FC'ing and I can't connect to play store. Sorry if I sound like a noob.
Thank you for all of your work!

So i have a problem. I installed this Rom on my SG5 I got last week. When I received it it was on 5.0, forget the firmware, but I downgraded to NCG build, rooted, and installed safestrap, etc...
So while looking for clean 5.0 based Roms, I found this ROM, and installed it, but I lost Root. While looking for methods to Root this version I saw that not only OE1 is unrootable (which I quickly learned while reading threads for the last 4 days), but anything above OE1 is unrootable, including BOG5 as you stated in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/g900vvru2bog5-factoryodintarimage-t3179527/page5?nocache=1
Please tell me what I can do to regain root preferably on this ROM.
If not, Can I load one of my backups of my NCG? If this is possible? How do I go about doing that without Safestrap working?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

So I went ahead and downgraded back to NCG..phewwww....I have been rooted since the Droid 1, and cannot imagine life without it. Neverthless, Could you give me a suggestion for one of your custom 5.0 Roms that is root enabled, and any thing that I need to know before going back to 5.0?
I see a lot of people remaining o 4.4.2, is it because messing with 5.0 puts one in danger of loosing root capabilities for ever?
Sorry for the scare.

So I went ahead and downgraded back to NCG..phewwww....I have been rooted since the Droid 1, and cannot imagine life without it. Neverthless, Could you give me a suggestion for one of your custom 5.0 Roms that is root enabled, and any thing that I need to know before going back to 5.0?
I see a lot of people remaining o 4.4.2, is it because messing with 5.0 puts one in danger of loosing root capabilities for ever?
Sorry for the scare.

Thanks a bunch for your quick response
The original Rom of yours that I flashed was the BS free Google Version. You seem to make a lot of contributions to the GS5 and would like to continue using one of your Lollipop ROMS on it.
The fix I just did was to use ODin to reapply: ALL_VZW_G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_964333_REV00_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
This appeared to fix everything:
Now I am back on Android 4.4.2
Model is SM-G900V
Baseband NCG
Kernel3.4.0: MArch 31, 2014
I have a Verizon phone.
Where do you advise I go from here
I flashed the google version and can not find a text messages app. Am I missing something.
When I originally tried to Flash the BS Free Rom, I used SafeStrap.
Where I likely messed up was forgetting to add the firmaware and kernel files to the zip file sequence in Safe strap. When the phone booted up it got stuck at the Black Samsung S5 screen. I then used Odin to flash: VZW_BOG5_RETAIL_FULL_FIRMWARE_WITH_BOD5_BL.tar.

It is not. Haven't been able to get it working on the last 3 Roms. Doesn't bother me much, though.

Nextbook 7P Google Play Store Install

I have a Nextbook 7P, running on Gingerbread 2.3.1, which my father (the original owner of this account) has put some custom ROM or something on it. I'm not a hundred percent certain what all he did on there and I cannot ask him as he passed away in 2012.
Anyways, I found that the tablet does not have Google Play installed, which means I have virtually no way to install any apps. I've already tried checking to see if it was disabled.
I understand some terminology and the basics of ROM flashing, but I am by no means very tech savvy. Back when my dad was alive (I was 11 at the time) he was the major techie and I was sort of his protégé, but all I really did was develop some simple apps, so any simple and easy to do solutions would be very appreciated, thank you.
On google search for the stock rom of your device and flash it.

If you mean restore the original ROM, as in reverting it back to the factory settings, I don't necessarily want to lose any customizations that my dad put on there (for sentimental reasons), especially because I wouldn't know how to reflash said customizations.
Ok then do it with flashify
