I found this hidden app by accident when I was trying to upload an audio file using Dropbox on the Nexus S. When the menu pops up asking to select which program to use, an app called Sound Recorder was one of the choices. It appears that this is in the .apk and not a standalone app. However, it does appear in the list of apps under "Manage Apps." Does anyone know if Google plans to enable this feature? I've already purchased a sound recorder app from the market, but I'd prefer a native solution if Google is going to release one. (I can't believe that 2.3 doesn't have a native sound recorder, by the way).
I have this app as part of cm7

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

Hi folks, I've been trying to get a simple sound recorder app to work in the stock Moto G KitKat ROM without success. I tried installing the CM Sound Recoder app from the CM Apps Installer, copying it from /system/app to /data/app, etc. and I couldn't make it work.
I just want a simple app to record my son, and I can't get the darn thing to show in the app drawer.
Any help will be much appreciated.
You can download smart voice recorder from play store

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.
I found this tutorial and decided to make a video of it for you.It would work only with snapdragon 800 devices running Kitkat 4.4+ and rooted.This won't work otherwise at the moment.Make sure you update to the latest play services and Google search apps.

I'm on ls980 works great! Thanks! I've been waiting so long for this feature!
Works fine with T-mobile 801
German language?
Anyone get this working on cloudyfa's G3 port? I've tried installing the updated Google play services (5.0.88) but it won't install. I was able to get it to work on Mahdi's 6/28 ROM with no problem.
Word of warning this broke alarms for me. Just made them silently dismiss themselves.

I would be all over this if it worked from screen off

Why can't I find these options?
I downloaded the apk files and ran UTG but I don't have the option to force close google search. It just shows me app info. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I finally got it to force close. had to go to Apps/All/Goggle and force close that way if anyone runs into the same issue.
Seems like this would create a wake lock and cause battery drain

works well for me on Eng Lang.
Has anyone tried this on the ATT version?
I did everything you said but when I get here to say "OK Google 3 times it wont listen to the first one.
With it force activated via language change etc, the camera will not record video, saying 'unable to record video while in call'. Untick the option for every screen listening and the camera is able to record once again.
So seems like it always listening makes the camera think it is permanently in a phone call. Annoying.
Sorry if it's mentioned already.
Make sure to disable LG "On Screen Phone" if you use it That's what stopped it working on my G2 (International)
Works perfectly on vs980 running cloudyfa g3 rom. Thank you!

This actually broke my alarm too. It seems it breaks the alarm while screen off. The alarm will however go off, if the screen is on....wtf? Any ideas?
installed this on my Flex. now when i want to record a video it says cant record cause something else is using my audio.
Hello guys! In my old mobile, I had installed an app (I believe it was a battery manager or something similar) wich had also a mode similar to the extreme save battery mode that the s5 has, a black screen with only call, sms and other few options and everything else deactivated. You could access this mode not from the settings of the phone but from the app menu if I remeber correctly, it had a dedicated icon (just like it was another separate app) but was not a launcher.
Do you know what app could it be?
Thank you very much!
Have you checked under "my apps" on the app store? Choose "not installed" If you are using the same Google account and you did not delete the App, it should be listed there!
