Recently I replaced all of my Google apps with inverted ones, if you don't know what inverted apps are, they're basically apps that are dark themed, for example where black replaces white and white replaces black.
Anyway, the voice typing, or voice-to-text is working everywhere in my phone such as the Google Now search box on my home screen, AOSP Messaging, Hangouts, basically everywhere... but isn't working at all in Chrome.
Well actually, its kind of working. Take a look at these screenshots to see what I'm talking about...
Here you can see its picking up my voice just fine...

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...and here you can see it is successfully processing my voice just like it does in any other app...
Then here is where it simply stops working and doesn't input the text from my voice into the Google Chrome address bar.
Here is where you can clearly see it is working, or trying to anyway. In this screenshot I said some jibberish and of course it couldn't understand it so it returned this message. So as you can see its working perfectly like it is in every other app except in Chrome it just won't input the words that it hears.
I don't understand, and the only thing I can think of that being different than other apps where its working perfectly is that in Chrome the mic isn't on the keyboard, its on the address bar.
Does anyone know of a fix or what's going on or have any answers? If not, can someone help troubleshoot this with me that might have a better idea of what's going on than I do?
I have searched all over the internet and couldn't find anything helpful. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.
If you restart your device with search widget at the main home screen, you'll find a grey voice search icon which vanishes after a some time, so heres the tweak you can unlock this, install the app attached with the post and your done.

I'm unable to upload my .apk file so check the above link it should work, it worked for me.
Very cool..
Lol.. They didn't hide it hard enough.
WP GG
They dont 'hide' it, your phone just didnt come with it. the widget shows it when you restart it because it hasnt kicked into action yet, it just opened, and since it can support voice search it shows the icon, but when it kicks into action and realizes that the phone doesnt have voice search installed, it gets removed. when you install it, naturally it will appear for good.
Fijate que suave....
COOL works Great i can finely use it again because it to disappeared on me and on the market it says it's for 2.2+
THANKs
It was never hidden here
because, x10 mini/x10 mini pro/x8 does not support synthesizer. I though that if I will install the data for the TTS it will support it, but Im out of luck, but on my x10 it was supported out of the box.
Can you upload the 2.1.1 version from the android market? Is this the one from there, that its shown to be working only on android 2.2 or higher?
Alright, I have searched, and searched, and attempted, searched some more, tried a bunch of .apk's I've found from various threads, and nothing... Here's what I've concluded: (tell me if I'm right)
Any AOSP contacts.apk from any other ROM or CM6 will not work on the SK4G. I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that AOSP contacts.apk also handles the call log functionality (just a guess)?
So what I have to work with is the Touchwiz contacts.apk that someone (can't find who to credit) has themed AOSP. The problem here is that it has a -very- annoying bug: You can open it directly and it looks fine (see image 1), but then sometimes you can hit the back button and it looses the theme (see image 2), or you can open it through the dialer (phone.apk?) and it just doesn't have the theme at all. This is Very Annoying for me, looking to throw together a true-AOSP UI.
Flawless themes (can't spell "themeing") such as the dialertabactivity.apk, that works for all intents and purposes (even though it's not real) works for me, but I've now spent 2 days researching and trying to find a different .apk and I can't... Any suggestions? Any devs able to fix this? Anyone able to explain why the SK4G is SOO dependent on Touchwiz? I'm in no way a dev, I'm just a modder. This is pretty much just personal use for now, i figure I'd have to do something really epic for me to try to put out another rom.

Hey guys!
I've got a JB 4.1 ROM on my device (well, all of the devices released with it, anyways, as it's stock) which has a peculiar problem in the SMS app. Watch this:
( http://i.imgur.com/ZsCvsIL.png )

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
See? the keyboard "overlaps" the latest two SMS. Watch closely the highlighted SMS, notice it doesn't appear on the wrong behaviour comparison? I want to archieve the behaviour in the rightmost screenshot (this was photoshopped )
Now, this isn't a "normal" behaviour as I didn't see it happen on ICS (previous stock ROM, too). This behaviour also doesn't happen on other apps which use the keyboard, such as Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp. I've also tried other keyboards but the same problem appears.
I'm really tempted on editing the MMS.apk but I don't know where to start, it could be a .xml editing or it could be a .smali editing, I dunno.
I've uploaded the MMS.apk in case any of you wanna take a look at it - you don't have to, though, but at least if you can provide some guidelines or hints on how should I proceed, that'll help at least.
I've done some googling too and haven't found anything relevant, only this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/112623-keyboard-covers-latest-sms-messaging-app.html but it's for MIUI and also the file was hosted on megaupload which we all know got KIA so...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Bump!... though I hate bumping, but has nobody looked into this? I've read it happens on other JB-based ROMs...
Bump bumpity bump-a-bump
I just got an Xperia 5III and my 5II is in a drawer. I was surprised at how different the operating system was on my new 5III compared to my 5II. There is one change that is negative. With the 5II if I was in an app and got a notification I could pull it down and read it.. With the 5III I can't. I have to return to the Home Page to pull down the notification. Is this just the way it is or did I screw a setting in my installation?
Other than that, I'm enjoying the 5III.

I actually haven't encountered this issue, so I'd suggest to search for a solution in settings menu
Oh, golly, why didn't I think of that? I've looked at everything in settings, even settings that shouldn't be remotely related. That's why I thought I would ask here.
Could you share screenshot(s) of your issue and of what you used to see it in 5II for the same? It's a lil hard to imagine based on this. Additionally, it could also be how Android 12 is setup vs. Android 10/11 in 5II.
If we can indeed see what you are facing, maybe that will help us try to find a solution for it.
I hate this. I'm a constant fiddler and this morning I fiddled with some settings in Google Messages. I was in shower when my reminder, from Google Calendar, came up. I waited till I got out of the shower, went to Google Photos on my 5 III, swiped down, and it worked. I went to my Oxford Dictionary and it worked, too. So, the problem that was irritating me is gone. AND I DON"T KNOW WHY!
