This apk here works but you will not get all the latest updates as google now is for jelly bean and voice search wont work
But I'm trying a work round for that.
to install this first make a copy of the google search in system app and place it some where
On you're sdcard then using a root tool delete google search in system app then reboot phone
Before you install this version if you don't it won't work enjoy
Any way to make it work without root?

Unfortunately not you need root to be able to copy and delete the original search apk

Yes there is a workaround. Google adobe flash .apk , then download , put on your phones memory card and then install. Just make sure you have unknown sources checked when you do the intsall.
Here is a link where you can download it.

Odd that it says that. I wish I had an answer for you man. You said you restored them from rom toolbox... So it still shows up like that? Does it do the same with the play store app installed?

Try NOT restoring apps. Can you dl fresh install from play store?
If so, dl app from store and only restore app data after...

Yea I saw the screenshots. I use both titanium backup and rom toolbox and I've never had an issue from either no matter the rom. I prefer TB to Rom even though I own licenses to both versions. And yes matter of fact the last screenshot says COMPATIBLE if you were to look at it again.

Ever use Google maps to navigate? Then receive an important text message, or feel like switching pandora tracks? THen go back to Google Maps only to see you have missed your exit/turn because your GPS was reallocating and getting a lock?
Well i have xD
So I modded it.
Here is what it does,
Once you launch Google Maps, it will lock on your location. Now, if you click a notification, or press the HOME button, you will STILL have a GPS lock. No matter what app you are in, as long as Google Maps is a background process, it will always have your lock.
Now, what if you got to where you are going and want to leave google maps? Just press the BACK button all the way until Google Maps exits, and so will the GPS lock. Simply ey?
To install:
Download attached apk. Get it onto your device, remove all other versions of Google Maps (Whether system or play store installed) then using a file manager, browse to the downloaded apk, and click it to install. Then enjoy
Hope you like it and get as much use out of it as i do! Be sure to hit thanks or better yet donate! I LOVE FOOD!

Try downloading to a desktop, then attaching the APK to a Gmail which you have addressed to yourself. Uninstall your current version of Maps, then open the e-mail you have sent to yourself, and click the attachment. It will download and install, no need for using a file manager. I usually just find this easier, because it is quicker for me than to pull up the directory in File Manager, find the file, install......just a suggestion. That is my super lazy way when I do not feel like enabling Bluetooth or using a USB, plus the added bonus of having a copy of the APK to hand anytime you need it.

Thanks for the quick reply and I would like to put out there that there's a similar thread/mod out that addresses the extra's that comes with maps, I was wondering if you and that developer would combine your work.
Either way great mod, thanks for it and good luck with the work around.

You should always leave GPS on. It's only being used when an app calls for it. So yes it should be on before using the maps.

I've had that happen before. What solved it for me was clearing data for google wallet in application manager and then uninstalling google wallet. After that I rerun the wallet installer and it works fine.
If you are using the installer try the following steps during install:
1. Install wallet for your setup (VZW and TW/AOSP)
2. After the installer reboots the phone, open wallet and run through the whole setup. Tap to pay shouldn't fail now.
3. Update wallet through the play store
4. Open wallet and make sure tap to play is still working
5. Use the wallet installer to restore build.prop
That is what works for me.
sorry but I used another method to get the build prop open everything works but I can't get it to set up and the method that you are asking me to try do I need to use the computer I read the instructions but I'm not sure besides just on the application that I need to download from the Play Store? And thanks so much for the help you're clear this up for me thanks again.

You don't need a computer to do the method that I described. On your phone, just download and install "WalletInstaller.apk" from the thread I linked earlier, then follow the directions in the above post. The wallet installer app runs right on your phone.
Before you proceed with the installer, you will want to restore your build.prop to how it was originally before you edited it. If you're not wanting to use the wallet installer app, perhaps someone else could help out because I don't know the steps necessary to get tap to pay working manually. From the description of the wallet installer app, it does more than just edit the build.prop. I have no idea what else it does, but it works for me.
Okay thanks a lot everything that you told me up i clearly understand now you was very helpful thanks again.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You're welcome. Hopefully everything works alright. I just did this a few days ago when I switched ROMs, so I know it still works.
Yes I know you guys just got the thing working making me jealous now I just gotta go in and put the build.prop back to where it was and then I will try this method that you told me to try I will let you know what happens.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Hey quick question I notice that the build.prop will change if you flash a nother rom am I correct but what if you just go to a backup will that also change the build.prop?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes. The build.prop will restore to whatever it was at the time of the backup.

I certainly appreciate that, but if you want to donate to someone, it should be to the creator of the wallet installer app.

You can restore the build.prop at the very end. First confirm tap to pay works on google wallet as installed by the wallet installer app, then confirm that tap to pay still works after google wallet is updated through the play store. If tap to pay is still working after google wallet is updated, then you can restore build.prop using the wallet installer app.
Again thank you for helping me and being patient with me I just redid the Google app installer I clean data and uninstall wallet before now I'm waiting and see will that catch I don't know how long it took when you was setting it up how long did you have to wait again thank you for your help

You need the gel launcher installed then delete Google search and the 3.1.8 update will install. I just checked my version and its 3.1.24 why do you want to install an older version.
I thought 3.1.8 is a newer version than 3.1.24. And do we have the full Google experience now?

Its not newer 24 is higher than 8 and I installed the 3.1.8 and was prompted to update to the version I already had. The only thing we don't have is the Google dialer 100%. Its damn close accept your calls are routed through the stock dialer and the caller I'd doesn't work for non contacts.
I am stock BigV and on 4.4 just trying to get the most out of my maxx. Any words of wisdom for me?

Not a lot you can do without root to be honest. The google dialer needs root to be installed you have to put it into a system folder. However on google play there is a KK dialer that is identical to the one we can install just not having all the neat caller id and search features. the GEL launcher you should be able to install without root i think.
Just installed the Google launcher its way better thanks for that little help...
