[APP]Google Now on ICS Galaxy Note (Asking Forum Moderator to plz close this Thread)

thread deleted
welcome to jb
Thanks 4 all urs concern...!!!

Does it work in your own language or EN-US only ?
I have tried those steps on stock ICS LRG 4.04, in french, and while the installation went through, I can't find any link to google now, either in widgets or apps or settings.
The original thread has a reference to the EN-US folder I'm missing in /system/usr/srec ....

thx alot for your tutorial it was clear and helpful.
i just wanted to point out that if you have voice search (the good old one) installed you should remove it in the same way
but keeping it doesnt alter proper functioning of google now.

Thanks for making a whole other thread for this. I agree your method is easier.

I am unable to find the apk mentioned in post 1.
I have installed the zip but Google now doesn't respond to my queries
It picks up my voice but doesn't search.

Do use Titanium Backup App in which u will find three tab (i.e. Overview, Backup/Restore and Schedules)
In Backup/Restore tab u ll find d GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk file in red colour....
u ve to remove that app with full wipe and uninstall
then flash...
All d Best...!!!

Works but Offline Voice Search still doesn't
It's excellent, kudos to the devs working on it.
Typed queries work fine, and the performance is awesome. No double takes, no skewered display. Locations is working too.
However there are still issues, first and foremost is the offline dictation. It is as though as its waiting for more input, so it won't search even after receiving the query through the mic, leaving it in 'braille' and waiting for more.
Can't wait for the problem to be fixed though!

We have to figure out these things as we go. Finding an easier way will spread the Google Now goodness across more devices and that means more support for us. Maybe even JB sooner.

dont know this been tested in Note Only......u can try n report back or u can try searching a thread releted Google Now in SGS2 Forum...!!!

The Google Now file is down.
Could anybody do a reup, please?

Do check
I resolved my problem where the voice program only converts to braille and appears to be waiting for more input. It is because of a bad flash when your system partition has insufficient space to store the libraries and dictation component.
You'll need at least 30MB for the Online version and 60MB if you want offline dictation, which also works if you use Google voice typing.
Clean up your system partition with Root Explorer or Titanium Backup to make space for it. Especially those Live Wallpapers you don't use.
Ensuring you got enough space in system would also probably fix and FCs or other hiccups.
It runs very well on my Galaxy Note ICS 4.0.4 TW with Nova Launcher. Its visibly faster in recognition and the cards appear correctly. Excellent work, developers.

Could you stop spamming this around or atleast finally freakin update the first page of it?!! You can keep acting cool about your port but if you don't update your stuff it's just yet another wannabe-popular post-spam. Sorry for my rage but this has been said about 10 times now and you still didn't change anything at all.

Haven't got it working on Tipo stock rom yet either. Are you sure it's for "All Xperia Phones", because it apparently doesn't work at all for our phones here...

i don't think it works for mdpi screens. OP probably didn't test it on tipo/miro before posting

Untrue as this is a stock (yet leaked) app, as it would be on a stock phone. It should work without root access. Yet it doesn't work at all on our phones (even WITH root), arc s is a completely different phone, you can't expect anything that works on there to work on ours too...
Perhaps it's just luck that an app from GX works on arc s and s. Perhaps not. Can't know for sure until further testing...

Nah i'm just saying in general, that you can't do much with non-rooted phones xD
And you need root access to use this on arc/s, shouldn't be different for tipos and miros. This however doesn't work on tipos and miros because screen resolutions different...i think

Isn't that the Xperia T launcher from this thread?
That works on Tipo and Miro, but is not the same "XPERIA HOME" you were talking about in first post.
Correct me if I'm wrong though.

superuser mod for .12 firmware (latest)

Just changed some codes in original deodexed services.jar.
hope u guys like it

I don't see what this has to do with Superuser
Superuser involves Superuser.apk in system/app & su in system/xbin
It doesn't involve services.jar in any way

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the Xperia C sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

Thanks a lot compandre for this thread.
The xperia c section was slowly turning into a mess of nightmare with many, many useless threads.
I hope this solves the clutter

I have a workaround. What I do is, keep the camera button (on the screen) pressed, which lets you focus, and when I have to click the picture, I just leave the button. So I keep the camera button pressed till then, I do I same thing when I am taking a selfie as well.
