How to fix the locations feature in Google + not showing the map - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

I posted this in Q&A but I think it was the wrong thread to post it to. Here is the link to my original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332468

Here is the post : I did not figure this out, just reposting what Trevd told me....
Trevd is the one who helped me and told me that Google plus needs to be a system app in order for locations to work. There is an adb method but I don't know how to do that so I did it manually with root explorer.
First you need to go to /data and move com.google.apps.plus-1.apk to /system/app then you have to go to /data/app-lib/com.google.apps.plus-1 move all the files out of that folder into /system/lib reboot and you're done. You should now have the locations feature with maps working. While you are moving Google plus it will force close on you. Just hit OK until you are done and can reboot. I attached two pics in the original post on Google + one is the adb method the other my method. I hope this helps some of you who want to locations feature to work. Original post is here

It worked for me but of course do this at your own risk. I am not responsible if you mess something up.
If I have helped you hit the thanks button..

[Q]RemICS - S Voice

Sent from my Fuse4G using xda premium
im not sure which s voice you are using but i do recall samsung making s voice faulty for devices that arent the SGIII so this could be the issue you are seeing. im not positive on what you are using but if its the S Voice apk to my knowledge it no longer works... for now
Yeah is S Voice apk thanks for the information

okay ill come clean with this one , usually i dont like typing solutions cause it takes time but the thing is i have been on XDA developers for more then 2 years and yet i still dont have 10 posts , i need to make a request So i guess youre lucky . Here is the step by step
1 - There is a superuser problem so you have to flash the SU fix in remics thread and update SU binary
2 - Once you have root access , install root explorer or 'explorer' (how it is called now )
3 - once you have root explorer installed, open it and it should display 'root access granted' , if not you repeat steps 1 and 2
4 - browse to system and there should be a file named build.prop , delete that and DONT CLOSE ROOT EXPLORER YET
5 -there is another file identical to the build.prop ,( its called build.prop S voice something ) rename that to build.prop and you should have S voice working
Svoice not working

I did that and its still not working. It says Unfortunately, S voice has stopped

I have tried almost everything and still the S-voice does not work. Does anyone have a solution? :crying:
Don't know if this means much, but just read today that Samsung is in court with Apple over s-voice and other things. If they shut down the service, would that be causing the problem?

I thought s voice wasn't done by samsung...atleast that's what I remembered in the privacy agreement the first time you open the app...and if they are suing Samsung for svoice...why aren't they suing the oher 20+ developers that made siri wannabe apps? Ohhh apple when will you learn that suing everyone for stupid reasons is only hurting your sales and making us android users hate you even more...
Anyways, try wiping cache and dalvic cache in cwm...that might help-(wiping cache and dalvic cache does not wipe any personal data or saved games...at least it shouldn't...)

Playstore update . 3.9.16

Hi all heres the latest google playstore
3.9.16
Download: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294521859
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything
Thanks androidpolice
Finally! I wonder though.. will it decrease app download amounts? Obviously if people remove it, it wasn't something they liked..

What happens if you have the same Google account on 2 devices and have an app on 1 but not the other and you remove the app from the device that doesn't have the app installed?
What happens if you delete a purchased app? Do you have to pay for it again if you want to re-install it later?

Can't answer the first one, but I just uninstalled a paid app to test for you. When I searched afterwards, it shows up as a purchased app, so I think you'll be good on that front.

I'm on paranoid android 2.2 rom on my Nexus 7, I have gapps ending in "26" installed, which I believe are the gapps from August, and installing this gives me an error message "conflicting signatures".....I don't even have the play store under "downloaded" apps like you would normally find it, but it is under the "all" tab. It was suggested that I rename the apk to "phonesky" and copy it to system/apps, I don't even see "phonesky" anywhere in the files, it's not on my Nexus 7. Can someone please help me out of the know what I can do to get this installed? It's so baffling that a simple apk won't install.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank You.

[GUIDE] recover universal search

Hello,
This is my first guide. It's not my work but I thought I'd post it here as many people would find it useful. I found it somewhere in the sprint galaxy s3 forums a while back and I keep using it. It has worked on all the roms I have installed so far.
You will need a copy of the Google search apk with universal search. Here's my copy http://db.tt/Chg3ev9i
You will also need the app Root explorer found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=root+explorer+apk I don't know if there is a free version or if file explorer with root access will work. I use Root explorer and it works. Anyways for the guide:
1. Open up root explorer and navigate to /system/app
2. Mount as R/W
3. Copy googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk and paste it somewhere safe as a backup.
4. Delete googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk from /system/app
5.paste the Google search apk from my dropbox into this folder /system/app and set the permissions to RW-R--R-- (if you don't know what it looks like, check the permissions on any other apk in this folder and make it look the same)
6. Remount folder as R/O
7.exit Root explorer app
8. Go to your settings>application manager>all and scroll down to Google search (not the one with the pic of a search bar. The one with the big "G" ) tap it and tap clear data (if this is not an option, don't worry about it)
9. Go back to Settings>application manager>all and scroll to googleservicesframework.apk, tap on it and tap clear data.
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy your universal search
If you like this guide please hit thanks

Solve this by long press menu at home screen to force search than hit the accept button at the prompt. Search widget should now work. Or just go to your apps and run search app and hit accept.

Thank you so much for this. Made me so happy to have uni search back. F'n Apple and their stupid lawsuits over stuff they stole.
Thanks again and as always...
GOBEARS!
Universal search was keeping me on the LF2 base. While I may need a good reason to come off of LF2 at least now I know I have the option.
Thank you, thank you!
I had been trying an apk that was posted for use on my GTab 8.9, but it never worked on the S3. I consider the $4 for Root Explorer a small price to pay to get this functionality back where it belongs. Kudos!:good:

You can easily tell local search is in Google Now, just search for an app you have in your app drawer using it. This was for ICS when Samsung removed local search.

[App mod] milk music working on any android device

To get milk music working on rooted, not samsung (and older samsung) devices.
Step 1: Back Up Your Build.prop
Just make a copy somewhere on your sd card, also make a backup of your os.
Step 2: Tweak Your Device Brand & Model.
Now go back to the /system directory, but this time tap on build.prop, don't long-press. Choose RB Text Editor to edit the file, then look for the model, brand, and manufacturer lines (highlighted below). Your original ones will show:
Note:as there are so many devices the <text> areas below will instead be specific to your device but the rest should be the same.
ro.product.model=<model>
ro.product.brand=<brand>
ro.product.manufacturer=<manufacturer>
Simply change them to match a (newer) Samsung device. I used a Galaxy S4.
ro.product.model=Galaxy S4
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
Step 3: Save the build.prop
Step 4: Sideload the apk, because the play store still wont let you download it. So I am hosting an apk copy in my dropbox for ya'll.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a16vvbhu4h6gvg7/com.samsung.mdl.radio-1.0.176956 (1).apk
Milk Music will now work with most of the functionality that it would on a native Samsung device, except that you won't be able to log into a Samsung account for syncing stations or enable explicit content from the settings.
Please post if this is working or not working for you. Include your device name, android version, and rom version.
Please let me/us know of any tweaks to this process you had to preform in order to get this working.

i used ART for the first month of owning my N5... then i switched to dalvik for some of goodies that xposed offers... tried out a few and ultimately preferred stability over features and i basically removed all xposed and just left it with dalvik for a bit... I noticed lags and stutters here and there and eventually switched back to ART and I can honestly say that ART is MUCH smoother and stable than running any other mode... i've tested this extensively with various settings and setups (always stock ROM with stock kernel or Franco) and nothing is as smooth as using ART... so i'm not going back for even one feature using xposed... just my experience

I also have a S3 running slimkat. I didn't bother editing the build.prop and just installed the apk. Works fine. Not being able to log in sucks though because I need my explicit fix!
It is possible to install the Samsung account app on non touchwiz firmware. I have managed to sideload it into CM11 and a GPe ROM on my S4.
Here's the .apk that I have saved on my SD card for when I flash new firmware:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qptszssdcl52i5n/Samsungservice.apk
Install it like any other app. Then in settings>accounts, add a new account and select Samsung. The app will ask to update, then you can create an account or login to an existing one. Milk Music will automatically see the account and then you can enable explicit lyrics in the app.
The only problem I have with Milk Music is that I can't update it. Samsung changed the way it determines device compatibility and "broke" the app for custom firmwares. I had to sideload it and just have to search for the .apk whenever the app gets updated since it won't update via google play store.

I keep getting the "App not installed" error when trying to install the updated version , any ideas? The original version installed fine, I just can't update it with the latest.
Sorry, I don't have any idea what would cause that. I use the apk downloader to pull the file from Google play since my phone (t mobile S4 running the GPE firmware) comes up as incompatible when I try to go to the app directly the play store. This apk installed just fine for me. Try uninstalling the existing app and then install the 7/1 file.

This apk installed just fine for me. Try uninstalling the existing app and then install the 7/1 file.

I am seeing the same app not installed error let me know if I can help troubleshoot or get any info to you guys.
Thank you !
I don't have any involvement outside of providing the apks. I deleted the old files and left only the Samsung account apk and the latest milk music apk.
All I can suggest is deleting the old app, rebooting to recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and trying to reinstall. Maybe re-download the apk also. (Try apkdownloader or apkleecher to pull the actual file from Google play - that's how I managed to get it). Other than that, I can't provide any answers

You don't need dialer to enter hidden menu anymore.
But you will need a rooted device.
Installation:
- Download LG_Hidden_Menu.apk from attachment
- Copy LG_Hidden_Menu.apk to /system/priv-app directory
- Set permissions properly:
-rw r-- r--
[644]
- Reboot your device
Enjoy

Force closes on me
LS980 (Sprint)
Super G2 ROM (KitKat)
Thanks for letting me know. I have read your rom's features and that has themed settings app. It can be related to that, bcs i have tested this app at all available roms for my D802 int.

Not working on a stock rooted ls980 either might try and make it a system app and see if that changes anything

Since I haven't seen a reply. I will put it in priv-app and see if that fixes anything. I'll let you know real soon. I like the idea of the tabs or no tabs.
I'm a Sprint CDMA LS980.
didn't work.. the launcher was there but no easy settings.
This is a launcher.. so there is still needed the easy setting apk.
I'm going to move a copy of the apk over and see if it works.
Of course they are odex files for cloudyg3-1.3.
Nope still fails on us. in priv-app. installed moved to system app. No go.

I'd love to work with you on this and maybe even get the g3 weather smart card working on g2.

Here are the files zipped up. These are from OptimusR G3 from my phone on sprint LS980.
My regular ZVD, Kit kit g2 doesn't have LG Easy Settings.
Hi,
Sorry, i couldn´t make it as installable app. Now it is only deodexed and visible in launchers.
1. Download attachment
2. Put it to internal storage of your device
3. Copy to system/app directory
4. Set right permissions (rw- r-- r--)
5. Reboot your device
Thit is maximum that my knowledge allowes me to do. Sorry i cant help you more guys.
I've tried and tried to deodex the g3 apps, but keep getting errors. I'll try it out in a minute.
Edit. 2:20pm CST USA
It shows in launcher but doesn't run. Reboot and the same. Crashes.
Do you think it might need a library?

Maybe, i dont know. But this one is from G3 ported rom and there are some differences in layout code. Tomorrow ill try make one from stock G2 rom (from V20F).

I am sorry to say it still does not work with our system. I don't get why it wont let tabbed settings. Easy settings may have something to do with the Framework-res.apk and LGE-res.apk
As it requires those. Something in the main necessity files has something in them that the system needs.
You can't imagine how thankfull i am for this!
It works for me on D855 v10h.

I don't understand. I have instaled both apks and they are the same. Sorry for noob question but what is this for?

@renzo090513 if you use 3rd party launcher then you can directly launch settings only in list view. You always need a next two taps on 3 dots in action bar of the settings if you want to change view to card view.
Easy settings (card view) app is "hidden". Icon of this app doesn't show up in launcher. With this little app you can launch card view of the settings directly from any 3rd party launcher.
