I uninstalled Voice Search because I never used it and Voice Typing disappeared. I reinstalled it but Voice Typing didn't get re-enabled. It's not even in the Language and Input menu (see screenshot) nor is it on the keyboard, no matter how many times I select to enable it on the main keyboard or the symbols keyboard.
Anyone know what the issue is here??
I'm running Virtuous Inquisition.

Hi,
If you re-install the ROM ,I'm sure it will return.

Sounds kind of overkill. I don't want to wipe out my entire phone setup. There has to be another way?

Hi,
Reflashing a ROM will only wipe any mods or add-ons you have.
All data and settings will remain intact.

I never use Voice Search (searching for things by using your voice) but I do use Voice Typing. I didn't know Voice Typing was included in the Voice Search app. I thought it was part of the keyboard.
Reinstall the rom without a data wipe
Sent from 3000 years in the future from my extremely outdated, but still extremely awesome HTC Sensation Z710e
Did you get Voice Search from the Play Store? If so, that is the old version and not the one included in the ROM. To get Voice typing back, extract the ROM on your computer, go into /system/app, get voicesearch.apk and adb push it into your /system/app folder (on your phone). Then set permissions rw--r-r (chmod 644)
Hi.
Does the hotword "Google" work for you in the newest stock OTA for Google Now? For me it does not... Is there a way to enable it?

Ok - I think you misundestood me. Google Now works fine for me, with pictures and everything. Only the hotword search does not work for me. (So you can use it hands free, only say e.g. "google, who is the president of united states?", without touching the screen and/or buttons)

It was working on AOSP roms but not on OTA so probably CM10 will have everything working.

And you are on stock OTA? (rooted?)
Same issue.
I have OTA Jelly Bean on my Nexus S.
Voice Search works fine with the exception of the hotword.
So when I say "Google" on the Google Now screen nothing happens.

I'm pretty sure this hot word feature was removed due to Apple's lawsuit, too similar in functionality to Siri.
I know you're talking about the OTA update, and I'm running hp420's rom on my NS4G, so there are likely differences, but when you open up Google Now, what does the search bar say? Does it just say "Search" or does it say (as mine does) "Search, or say Google"??
Yeah, I had it in the first 4.1 builds, then once the official 4.1.1's started appearing it was gone. This was after the incident where they had to stop selling Galaxy Nexii for a week. It looks like that feature was dumped to get the injunction lifted.

AHHHH that explains it. Thought I was going crazy. :laugh:
I'm sure you could flash an older version of Google Now taken from one of the ROMs where it is functional.
Hmm, I thought the lawsuit with Siri is regarding the result of the search, nothing to do with how the search is triggered right? There's no like "siri" hotword or something.
However, I don't really get the purpose of this hotword, as I will still need to unlock the phone and press the Search button anyway, might as well just press the "mic" icon on the top right at the google search "widget"?
That's my best guess on the issue, it makes sense. It appears that this as the only thing that changed for the official 4.1.1 release. Or maybe google deemed it not worthy of the Nexus S, like Face Unlock... Wonder if Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus might still have this feature.
How come when I search our doesn't show up like in the video and directs me to browser searches?

To have results like in the video you have to change Google Now language to English US and force searching on google.com (in google now settings).
The hotword is only a "cool" feature, with practically no use (unless it would work globally, not only with the google now screen) but I would like to test it out
I can receive texts no problem, but when I go to type a new text (and this may be a keyboard issue) it allows me to type one or two letters, before the keyboard just goes away off the screen and I have to wait a few seconds and then click back into the textbox in order to continue typing.
This issue is occurring for me on the MB860. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a workaround?
That sometimes happens, maybe it's just an android bug, I'd suggest you get Hacker's keyboard it is very good and never crashes.
Hope this helps
If the problem still persists get another texting app.

Now I am running into one other small problem (and this I am sure is user error).
When I click on the phone and look at my contacts I am showing the same contact multiple times. But if I click on the 'contacts' icon, it shows accurate contacts/numbers etc.
What setting changes this?

I didn't see a way to delete the duplicate contacts. Anytime I click on them it calls, or if I click the settings button there is only an add option.

Long pressing does nothing. Let me try to use the proper terminology here...my "Dialer" is showing incorrect contact info but my "Contact" app is showing the correct contact info.
Should I try to get another Dialer...is that possible?

I think you can have two dialers at once. If not just remove the old one. Try installing it first cause without a dialer your os may malfunction.

I actually decided to get to the root of this problem and I took a look at my google contacts since I was loading the contacts from google. Somehow all my contacts were duplicated (some triplicated) in google contacts. I updated google contacts and now they are only pulling in once.
Now I still can't figure out how to modify a contact in the Dialer that ships with CM10.1 epinter tho.
Also -- Is there a way to keep your phone brightness @ max when it is charging? I can't seem to get that setting right either.

hi everybody!
sorry for the non-descriptive title, but i have some questions i'd like to ask here. i just got my moto g 2 days ago, i switched from a samsung galaxy s+ (with cm10.2) so this is quite the change for me, hardware and software wise.
[ANSWERED] 1. first i missed the possibility to swipe my keyboard to type, i found many different apps for that, but my question would be what is the keyboard included in cyanogenmod? because since this can 'see' everything i type i want an app for that i can trust...
[ANSWERED] 2. i really liked the cLock app for time and weather in cm, but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^ so here my queston would be aswel whats the cyanogenmod cLock app and where can i find it?!
[ANSWERED] 3. next thing would be how can i get something like pdroid on this device (i had it on the sgs+)? i would need root i assume, i saw lots of different methods for that aswel. one with like contacting motorola to get the rom unlocked or something like that. so whats the easiest way to get a privacy control on the moto g? i remember something like the new android has some inbuilt setting for that?!?
[ANSWERED] 4. something that is irritating me quite a lot are the software keys, because samsung has the back key on the right side and the moto has it on the left side. also i dont understand why there would be a key for recent apps instead of a menu key. same here: i saw lots of different methods to change that, some even with adding or getting rid of lines of the code. ok i managed to install cm on my sgs, but thats a little out of my capabilities ^^ so again what would be the easiest way to change the buttons around?
[ANSWERED] 5. another thing would be, how do i turn off the vibration when using the keyboard? i tried the setting under 'sound' -> 'vibrate on touch' (or something along those lines) but that didnt turn off all of the vibration, for example its still vibrating when i use the keyboard but not anymore when i open apps or menus.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...
btw i am using the nova launcher in case that makes any difference for any of the questions above!?
also i include this screenshot with all the version numbers in it because it might be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JftqugO1xsbnh1dTBrQzZVWXc/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a bunch in advance and for reading and i hope someone is willing and able to help me out here!:fingers-crossed:

You can install the stock google keyboard from the play store for using swype, And there is cyangenmod version available for the G, you should go to the Moto G Original Android Development section of the forum for that. The vibration option should be in your sound / keyboard settings so you just need to look better i gues.

I suggest to install Xposed framework (Root needed), and then you can have this features with Gravity Box and Xprivacy (these are modules for Xposed).
In order to root, you have to unlock the bootloader (follow the instruction on Motorola website), then install a Custom recovery (I suggest Philz one) and supersu from Play store

Mornin', you're very welcome!
Xprivacy it's kind of complicated, but that reading will help you. I admit I don't use it, but I know it gives you full control on privacy and this is what you were looking for As you said, it's just a matter of time!
Btw you can install modules directly from Xposed Installer application, so you can bypass the Play Store.
Yes that's gravity box: it's very good and popular, you can surely reverse/set all the software keys, but also do a lot of modding!
It's more intuitive than Xprivacy, just go ahead options and try them, it's safe!
Good luck and forgive my english!

i am no native english tongue myself, so i dont notice anything wrong with your english. no need to excuse, i make mistakes myself.
i was under the impression that you could do 'stupid' stuff with xprivacy, like i was able to deny my camera app access to the camera with pdroid. that was a good way to test if it was properly working. so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work, but then again it especially said its no going to break apps. i dig into all of this further later on.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to? talking about xprivacy here...
edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.
but then again it especially said its no going to break apps.

You can check for example all outgoing connections to the internet from your device. I have not tested this tool, or similar like that, but i will now because i just had the idea Else you can also prevent Facebook app to connect. I use Auto Hide Softkey App. I can for example prevent that it uses the overlay function, so it can not modify the UI and hide the Navbar.
Xprivacy is a very powerful tool. If you want it more simple, you can activate the in Android but Disabled inbuilt AppOPS App (search for AppOPS). But it is also less powerful.
I bought xprivacy. If you buy it, you can download the restrictions automatically and upload yours for others. You are also able to export end import the settings if licensed. Also nice that you can buy it via Paypal because i do not have a Credit Card (and i don't want).
but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^

You should definitely work on your Googling skills
Try "best android clock apps" "List of android clocks" and so on, there are dozens.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...

My friend, you are really funny
Cyanogenmod just got a snapshot Status few days ago. It is one step ahead being a nightly and to steps behind beeing stable
Hope that helps.

Oh and for some settings you do you also have to restart your phone. But actually it will tell you to do so by displaying a toast.

I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.

thanks for the explanation! i clicked on the firefox logo but i didnt know you can go even deeper into each section for permissions, that explains it!

well you explained it yourself pretty much, the app was designed to not break apps in the way they work but restrict them from your privat data. so when i clicked firefox'es internet permission and it had the square, i disabled some but not all of it. thats all i was saying

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen
or is there a setting for that in gravity box i missed?

You're welcome!
Check navigation bar settings in gravity box, you can change the size of the soft keys and gain space.
Go for that apps if you think you need more usable screensize (hard to believe)

i wondered what that would be and imagined something for screen transmission (chromecast) or something like that, thanks for clearing that up! best to have as little extra programs as needed on my device... cool gravity box got that covered aswel, liking this more and more!
Hello,
I received a replacement nexus 5. I had a rather large custom dictionary that transferred flawlessly from my Nexus 4 to Nexus 5.
This replacement phone (a refurb unit) would not sync beyond gmail, calendar, and contacts. No apps, no personal dictionaries.
Please advise as to what to do, as my dictionary is over 1200 words and between two languages. I used the app "User Dictionary Manager" which transferred the dictionary, but dumped my two custom dictionaries into one single one to be used between languages.
Please help!
Thanks!

The Google Keyboard? Does not contain auto sync. You would have to pull the database manually.

My dictionaries from my Nexus 4 were transferred, or so I thought...
Where can I find the databases? It is over 1200 words, that was a lot of work! Thanks!

I have a stock unrooted Nexus 5. Any way to access that without rooting the phone? I'd prefer to keep it as unmolested as possible... Thanks!

If that is indeed where the dictionary has it's db files, you'll need root.
You could also check /Android/data/ and see if it contains the db.

No other way. Unmolested?
Sorry, I'm rather a newbie when it comes to this. Any way to root without losing all the settings, including the dictionaries? I googled directions, and they said all settings will be lost. Any easy ways to root the phone? Thanks!

With no wipe, Towelroot is probably your best option.
