Good morning.
I'm running Hyperdrive RLS12 in Safestrap running on Verizon S4 MK2. I thought I could say "google" and the search function would start but that is not working. Can someone provide me with some insight into how to get this to work.
BTW. Great ROM. Loving it so far.
Thanks.

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question and admit up front that I'm a noob. I've got the XYBoard 8.2 running the OTA version of ICS. It's rooted, but other than that pretty much untouched. Do I have any options that will allow me to run Google Now, or am I stuck waiting/hoping or a Jellybean rom to be released?
I believe there was a way to port it to ICS, however it doesn't have voice search or voice commands...
I think there actually is a way to get it onto ICS and have voice search, however it is an old version and is stuck to an american accent.
EDIT: I have found a better thread than the previously posted one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
Other than the accent and the inability to update, it's pretty good.

The answer may be a custom rom
I was thinking about his last night and I think the answer may be that simply running stock ICS, rooted is not going to be enough. I will need to use a custom rom. I'll do some pecking around and try to find one. This may cause an avalanche, but if you've got any recommendations, feel free to pass them along. Lastly, I just want to confirm I'm not crazy and that there is no Jellybean rom yet available for the XYBoard 8.2. If there is, I TRULY apologize in advance.
I've tried and tried and tried, but can't get any combo to work.
I love AOSP based ROM's but HATE the VVM app that I can hack in from the Nexus. The Samsung Touchwiz version is fantastic.
I know everyone will suggest google voice, but I need VVM for my work so that's not an option.
What would rock: A flashable VVM app that works with ASOP. I'd even make a great "Donation" to whoever came up with this.
Anybody?
I have something. I will post later tonight when I get home, maybe tomorrow morning at latest..
I 'm looking for Jelly Bean for my HTC Thunderbolt. I want it so I can download and use "Google Now," which requires JB. I've done quite a bit of Googling for it, without any luck. i've also searched through here somewhat thoroughly. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get this? I'm not a developer, just a power user.
Please help. I will mail you cookies. Whatever flavor you like.

Although google now is officially supported on jb, it can be run on ics. And from a quick look at the thunderbolt developer section it looks like theres quite a few ics roms.
Try flashing one of them, then check out this thread to see how to get google now working on ics.
Also no need for cookies...just press thanks
Thanks for the reply! Yeah.... a short while after leaving my post here, it dawned on me.... "why focus on getting JB for my thunderbolt?? Instead, focus on whether or not I can get Google Now on my ICS!!"
I followed some instructions about deoxed-ing, my Thunderbolt, but would get a ton of errors when going through the actual conversion. I think it's because the latest version of the tool I was using just doesn't jive with my Thunderbolt. I had to give up last night so I could get back to my family. I'll be trying it again soon, or exploring some other tools/options to get this done.
Just a thought... I don't really care about Google Now looking pretty on my phone, so do I really *need* to deoxed my Thunderbolt? If I understand it correctly (*remember that I'm just a power user, but definitely a "noob" when it comes to hacking and dev stuff*), the deoxed-ing process just allows for changes to the themes or visual aspects of android. Correct? So *in theory* I could just install a ICS Google Now mod/hack/whatever without the deoxed process?
Thanks again! (and BTW: I did press the "thanks" button as well.)

I've tried several roms and I keep getting the no connection retry prompt when I open the play store. I've tried removing my account and signing back in, clearing data and caches, toggling sync and anything else I can think of. I also get the red sync error icon under my account in settings and my signal icon is staying gray no matter what I do. It doesn't seem to matter if it's aosp or touchwiz.
Sign into Google with a new account then sync everything then go back to your old account then you should be good.

It still won't sync my old one and even with the new account selected in the play store it still gives me the error.
I wish I knew the answer myself, my play store only works on certain roms.

I wish I knew, my play store only works on stock rooted and synergy. Any other rom I get no connection. I've pretty much given up on it. I've tried every fix I could find about it. I even Odin'ed back to ICS and that had no luck either. I'm happy with synergy until we get 4.3 or I get a new phone whichever comes first...
Try different version of play store. I actually had this problem today(no connection) with one of my phones. One version from team blackout didnt work while a version from official gapps for the specified rom did.
Just try out different Gaaps Packages until one works. Check MD5 on each package

Thanks for the gapps suggestions guys but I don't do aosp so that's not my issue, though I have tried pushing different versions of play store into tw roms to no avail.

I'm on 4.3 and after about a week it finally synced and I was able to log in to the play store. Not sure what happened.

I make regular nandroids so I'll give it a shot, plus I've found another fix that I haven't tried yet. I'll let you know how I come out.
Evening, I'm new to the xda forums though I've been looking here for years on and off but have a question so thought I would register.
Ok this should be simple enough for you guys to answer so here goes. Been using miui for a few months now and it's brilliant! by far the best rom I've used on my S3. Though what would be the best version for the s3 currently? I have the latest version running at the min (3.10.25) and it just seems a little sluggish, not sure if I should drop back down to an earlier build?
Also I'm having trouble with the auto update feature in miui, rom manager chucks some error at me (forget now what it was) and wont update. I have to manually down the latest version and flash normally. And am I the only one who finds the themes wont work with the notification bar, mines solid black.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, sorry if there is a miui section on the forums I have missed, thanks.
