[Q] Google Now - Enable - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
First sorry if there is somewhere a answer to this but i tried to search and did not manage to find what i was looking for.
Well my Question is ..
Is there a way to enable Google Now side screen ( the one where you pull the screen to the Right and the card show .. see attached) on a rooted stock rom 4.4.4?
Just to mention that the voice Command "OK Google" works !
When i had SlimKat installed it was enabled but when i whent back to stock it is disabled.
It is disabled due to country limitations i think when i was on Stock and Not rooted but know since i know it works on custom roms is there a way to enable it ?

Here is a screenshot of the app you need for that if I understand your question correctly. Once you open the app it will ask you a series of questions.

Hey there thank you for your reply.
I am running Google Launcher as i am on 4.4.4 stock Rom.
The problem is that i cannot enable Google Now in the options - (Google Location reporting not available in your region problem)
Is there a way to bypass that?

You might see if XDA has modified version for that. Try searching and you might find something but I don't think so.

Ok i found some steps on the web which worked very well.

ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.54_v2.0 (1.54.401.2) tts problem

Hello everyone.
New forum member and not yet allowed to discuss at development sub-forum. I'm having trouble with tts (text-to-speech) in this rom: ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.54_v2.0 (1.54.401.2)
Every time I enter the tts settings from main settings it force closes (settings apk force closes) and I cannot set up my tts from there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Tried so far: clearing data from tts, reinstalling, trying .apks from different roms.
Regards
P.S. And yes, I wiped everything before installing.

If you provide a logcat for ajeevlal I'm sure he will look into it. Try another modified Stock ROM such as Stock Plus. Or try CyanogenMod.

Here it is. Thank you. This is really bothering me. It happens only on this rom (both versions 1 and 2). I tried to remove pico in order to use an alternative, but pico was always there..

Hi ajeevlal, I fixed the problem. pico tts is missing in your rom so I took one from stock rom and added it. Settings will crash without it when one enters into tts settings.

Hi ajeevlal
Would you mind posting an updated version of this stock rom with pico included. I would be grateful for a complete version in one file as I am not a techie and need things as simple as possible.
Many, many thanks if you would take the time.

And for me, i am using latest android version.

Yes, you're right. Multiuser support is what you're talking about, and it is available from android version 4.2.2 and above. It is enabled on tablets by default. For phones, you would need to flash custom ROMs that have multiuser support. If you're not on 4.2.2+, then you could try the SwitchMe app on the Playstore instead (requires root).

Since I do not know much about your device, you should probably ask this question here:

You're bound to get a better answer that way!
P.S. When you ask in that forum, avoid using words like 'best rom' or 'stable rom'.

[Q] Multiuser Bug on BR lollipop 5.0.2

Hi! I'm very please with the lollipop update, but I'm facing a problem I didn't get the solution.
I want to share app with my second profile on the multiuser feature from android but can't . I have seen in other devices the option to limit the app you want to share with the second profile, but that option is missing in my moto g.
Any work around this "bug"???
Another this is you cant install app from unknown sources in the second profile, and the root don't work. Thanks

[Q] Android after recovery and Google Navigation issues

Hi guys,
I hope you and your smartphones are doing well.
I use CM. I have done a backup using ClockworkMod 6.0.5.1
Initially I have messed up my phone by attempting to encrypt it so I have done a complete recovery to a non CM system then again to the CM backup I have taken few months back.
No CM firmware upgrades have been done.
Since the recovery my phone works without problems except Google Navigation.
The arrow stays always pointing to one direction and it jumps after every ~20sec to weird locations somewhere around the route, but it is completely inaccurate - basically useless.
Location settings are set to High accuracy.
Before the recovery it was running damn well, no issues whatsoever.
Have you come across a similar problem?
Do I need to completely remove Google apps and redo it. I think I have already re-installed Google Maps and Navigation without any improvement.
Please advise.
Many thanks.
Sir,
Please give us more details about your device.
Thanks

Hi again,
It is Motorola XT1039 (Moto 4G)
Android 4.4.4
CyanogenMod: 11-20141024-nightly-peregrine
Kernel: 3.4.42-gc89980d
SELinux enforcing
Please let me know if there is any other info you need.
Best regards,
Thanks.
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers from the owners/experts.
Stand by
Anyone?
Cheers
It looks it is not just the Google Navigation.
I have installed some off-line navigation and it is also useless with the arrow jumping every minute or longer.
I think it is a system wide issue then,

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

Thank you!
I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.
