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...

google now for ics

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?

After activate it would be a good idea to make a TB back up (and maybe the backup settings option in the app) as I noticed that it won't sync to other devices or Google like a normal IAP, as had to enter code over all of my devices separately (just incase you uninstall or change roms and want full version back). The activation code is only valid to enter for 24 hours and after that the code won't work if uninstall after that you will have no way to get it back unless have a app data backup that's been activated.
PS. It already had an update today and keeps your unlocked activation so updating after activating has no issues.

says not compatible with my play. probably because im on jellybean custom rom.

Can you upload a better link that's not on mega?

Done some work on the apk and it needs input from the settings apk. But not as simple as that the way the app is set up it requires the core from the 8x for the linguistics. So its a no go for any other phone with out serious work and serious battery drain.

Yep. You need either the X8 (or theoretically the S800) for it to work. Even if it could be modded to work on a standard cpu, it's going to kill your battery life.

It installed on the LG G2 successfully however it doesn't work...
(Since the G2 has a S800 processor it should...right?)
It will only work on a device that has the framework for it...cause its in the settings section of the phone

I have version 2.0 with stock build prop and have made a successful purchase. Some people are having problems though, but it's worth a shot.

I think the proper way to keep the NFC purchases is to install the older version and then upgrade

There's a new version that was released 2 days ago....anyone try that yet?

I posted an update in the original thread that works if you already have the old version installed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024460&page=125 (message # 1243)
If you don't have the old version already installed, follow the instructions in the OP, then update it using my method.
I'm having lots of luck with the new Google Wallet.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35365898&postcount=1
And my success story with the latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46346934&postcount=856
Other required reading: Install the xposed framework installer (must be rooted, natch), and the Google Wallet module for it.

Did all that including wiping google framework. Maybe only works on international Roms? I am on clean rom
I couldn't get it to work on Roland's RNKD ROM either. Too bad - looking forward to this!

Well I installed viper 2.5 and it still crashes even with the updated Google services. Now what?
Edit...forgot to reboot. Works after reboot.
Well I installed viper on my second m8 and this time I can't get it to run again. Wtf?
