[Q] Google keyboard issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an issue with my keyboard. I tried to install new Google keyboard from Lollipop. I needed to remove it firstly from system/app and ten flash zip. Something went wrong and now I can't use my personal dictionary and the keyboard can't use gesture typing. I tried to flash my ROM again, google apps, tried to delete the data etc. Nothing worked.
Any tips how to fix this? And better, to install the last update of Google Keyboard too?
Thanks much!

Follow these steps to get your new awesome voice search.
1. Install Titanium Backup off the market.
..... 2. Enable USB debugging, and open it up.
.......... 3. Go to the middle "backup/restore" tab.
............... 4. Hit your search button, and type voice into the filter.
.................... 5. Uninstall and delete the voice search app.
.................... 6. Reboot.
......................... 7. Now go into market and install new voice search app.
Worked for me!
Did not work for me. I'm having the same problem. I deleted the original app. Now I have none!
What is the problem with this new one? Why won't it install?
EDIT: This will surely be what finally pushes me over the edge, and drives me past the brink of madness.

[Q] Disable Japanese IME

Is there a way to disable, or completely remove, the Japanese IME in ICS?
It gets pretty annoying if you accidentaly switch to it and have to go to settings - input to switch it back.
I'm using CyberGR's ICS ROM, but the IME is present in I believe all ICS ROMs besides stock and the checkbox associated with it is greyed out.
Thanks.
you need to freeze or uninstall "openWnn'. After freezing or uninstalling you need to reboot and it is gone! Download a good file manager with a search option to search for openWnn or if you are rooted install root explorer and search for it.
good luck
Thanks, disabling the app worked well. Is it safe to delete it from the ROM package as well?
I believe it is but I just froze it

yes , you can delete /system/app/OpenWnn.apk in the zip file before you install and other thing you don't need , but be careful with anything related with google.

Including Google play in Custom Rom

Hey there! I am having a problem with Google Play. I am trying to include it in my Custom Rom, replacing Market with it.
I downloaded it and insterted in system/app, but market was still there.
I tried extracing it it from a backup, but the problem still existed...
How can I update the market app to Google Play in my custom rom?
Thanks in advanced

I think that you should keep the market and after flashing if it doesnt update itself then just clear the market cache and it shall update itself.

[Q] Gapps flashing error

Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )
Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^
Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect
hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''
can any please help me... sorry im still a newbie....
Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.
Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.

No google now option in Google Search or Launcher [Here is How to FIX IT] :)

Hi there. In case that you run into this problem of having Google Search but no Google Now here is how I fix it.
This is a problem that I have being having for quite sometimes and is back in N5. Just a little background, I have a GS4 and my Google now is working there perfectly. But only after some tweaking. When ever I installed a new rom, if I forgot to setup Google Now (running for the first time) right after installation, and the application gets an update I loose the Google now option in search setting and Google Search (aparently after version 2.6 and up), in Google Setting application. And no Google Now cards or anything just a plain search bar with the option of voice search with the microphone. Normally I will get it to work by clearing data on the Google Search application and uninstalling updates. After that, running Google Search will bring the Google Now Setup and I will finish it. After Google Now setup I can update Google Search and have Google Now working perfectly.
In my N5 since Google Search is part of the system and launcher clearing Data on the application don't help also there is no uninstall updates option. Since I rooted my N5 here is the way I fix it. Installed a additional Launcher because the N5 launcher does not work at all without Google Search application. Any launcher you want will do, if you don't do this you may be left in the dark with no home screen or application drawer so Don't Skip This Step. Get your hand in an old Google Search ApK (Velvet.Apk) preferably 2.6 version, also get your hand in the New Velvet Apk version 3.1.8. With Titanium backup uninstall Google Search 3.* that comes in your N5. Install the old version of Velvet Apk and run it. Google Now setup process should come up. finish it. You will probably get a Stop Working Application error. Now install the Velvet.apk 3.1.8 (latest). You may get 1 or 2 more Stop Working Application error from the Google Search application but Google Now should show up and running in your launcher and through the other ways to access it. Reinstall the Home.apk file
Hope this help anyone that has this problems as I use to do.

is there any way to uninstall without using titanium backup? it wont run if you use ART instead of Dalvik
Try removing or maybe better renaming (changing the .apk extension part) the Velvet Apk from the System folder using any root capable filemanager. It may works.

Actually mine was giving me a lot of problems, Google Search was foreclosing and I was not getting results. I did almost the same procedure except that I updated from the 2.6 version to the 2.8 version through Play Store. That way Google Now Works and Google Search. If I upgrade to the 3.0 version pf Google Search it star to foreclose again. If I stay in the 2.8 version everything works except the Launcher. So if the only thing that you are missing is the Ok Google you are in better shape than me. I am using Nova launcher and kept the 2.8 version. I will still experiment with few Ideas to see if I get it to work perfectly.
