[Help] [EOS4] [French] no offline voice recognition in french system EOS 4.2.2

Hi
I'm running EOS nightly 112 with Kat Kernel 103 on my TF101 B70
Installed Gapps for 4.2
I can't find an option to download files for offline voice translation/recognition neither for English, nor for french
My system langage is set to be in french, as my keyboard, TTS and all langage stuff.
Surprisly, when my new phone come yesterday with andoid 4.2.1, I was able to activate offline voice recognition in french out of the box!
If someone know why my TF101 cant do it, I will be happy.
Asked twice in EOS 4 subforum, but nobody even pay attention to it, so I resigned to post it in a general forum

Try this:
1) Go to Settings from menu.
2) Choose Language & input from there.
3) Under Speech section, touch Voice Search.
4) There in voice search settings, you will see option Download offline speech recognition. Touch it to download offline voice recognition data.
5) Select ALL tab. Now you will see the list of languages. Touch DOWNLOAD in front of your desired language to download the offline voice recognition data in that language.
6) You can download the offline voice recognition data in multiple languages. To download in another language, repeat the same steps as above and download it in another language.

Open "Google translation", go into the options, and you will find "Langues hors connexion".
Then, just have to choose which package to install...
Hope this will help you !

Works great on my Note 3 (4.3 stock rooted), no FC's so far. On my Note 8 (4.2.2 civato's ROM) the only issue I have is when I hit the home button and go back to the home screen, the keyboard pops up. Minor annoyance but so far so good.

Working on N4 along with wallpapers and Voice Search.
Thnx!

Google Search Force Close fix
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.

That didn't work. I can search with English UK, but if I change it back to US it still force closes.
Edit: Change your voice to UK, then go to offline speech recognition and delete and reinstall the English (US) recognition pack. Do a search as UK, then change it to US. It works, and "ok google" will work from your homescreen.

Great to hear that it works for most of u

UPDATE 1: Google Search Force Close fix:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, for me I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US. (you may have to redo this step every time you restart --- if you experienced FC --- for non-rooted users)
OR
Please extract and replace the /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so with the one downloaded from here: . (permanent fix --- for rooted users)
UPDATE 2: "Ok, Google" search feature fix:
If anyone has a problem with the "Ok, Google" search feature, you have to get the English (US) language update. Under Google Now settings, tap "Offline Speech Recognition" --- "All" and tap "English (US)" to update. After it is done, press home and it should be working! If you've cleared data on the app, it'll erase the update and you'll need to do this again.
Didn't Work for me so I moved GNow and Launcher to System and now works perfectly
Thank you for all the support this community gives me! (Unlike I9300 )

There isn't a root issue.
It is because you rebooted. If you have root you can put the lib file in the post and it's going to be fixed!

Not true. There was a root issue when I ran it. It installed fine but I tried to go into any root app and it told me there is no root. Swapping files wasn't possible when I couldn't get root rights to internal system or storage

Root can not be gone from installing an app.
Maybe you flashed something?
you can always root again...

Oh i agree it shouldn't be. I will try it again as I am back to stock rooted
After going back to stock I reinstalled it and it works like a charm. I was previously on a custom rom and it wouldn't work at all

I tried i too and still doesn't run. I've got last stock rom.

why?
Im using st26i. Android 4.1 offical not rooted. I can install all of the listed apks. When I try to open the launcher he says google has stopped. I can't do the fix, because I can't open the launcher. Any body has a fix? (Sorry for my english .)

I'm not sure what is the problem with the app.. But when ever I open the app it says.. "problem praising the package" (home and velvet)

For 100% work launcher on Xperia 2011 you needed Android 4.2.2 and higher .

This launcher only works with 4.2.2+ or 4.1.2 samsung roms (idk why)
