Oh. Was I meant to install the newest build over the previous one?.. I did a clean install.

[tilal6991]

No no. I did the same and it worked perfectly for me. I just don't understand why it worked perfectly for me and not at all for you. I tested very comprehensively.

I did:

Clean install.
Flashed the soft keys mod.
Flashed the special gapps provided by you.

Hold on. This is interesting.

It's telling me it cannot reach google.

Voice search (old version) cannot connect
Voice search (newer version) said it cannot reach google at the moment, different to last time when it said to try again constantly.

Voice search for google is the same,

THIS GUIDE ONLY WORKS ON JELLYBEAN BASED ROMs - ie. right now - my CFX2.
Download my special GAPPs package and the Voice Search apk from http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/gapps
So you've installed a JB based ROM. What now?

• Download my special GAPPs package and the Voice Search apk from http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/gapps
  
• Flash this in recovery
  
• Reboot into JB
  
• Set up your Google account etc.
  
• Click the Google app in the app drawer
  
• Install the Voice Search apk from step 1
  
• Set up Google Now
  
• You should see 3 Voice Search Icons in your app drawer - click the one saying Voice Search for Google Now
  
• Click on the mic and say something to verify it works.
  
• Go to Settings, Location Services and Enable "Google's Location Service"
  
• Go back into Google Now (Google app) and click the menu button and go into settings
  
• Go to privacy and accounts and enable "Location and Google Search" and "Search on Google.com"
  
• And use Google Now as you please!

Any suggestions where I went wrong ??????????????????

I've made a clean install from CFX to CFX2

I flashed the rom & gapps without any issues.

I've also followed the steps above but can you clarify the below points.


5 **I assume you mean the 'VOICE SEARCH FOR GOOGLE NOW' icon ?
6 **I installed the apk via File explorer
7 **Is there a google now icon because I can't see one, do you mean the voice search for google now
9 **it acknowledged and repeated what I said then an error appeared
11  **do you mean the voice search for google now icon?
12  **do you mean system settings->location?*
13 And use Google Now as you please!

Since I changed step 12 when I speak into the phone it does not acknowledge the voice command or play it back. Instead after a couple of seconds it says 'sorry, i did not understand'

5. No - I mean the app which has "Google" as a label.
6. That's fine.
7. The Google Now app is the app with "Google" as the label
9. That error shouldn't appear
11. No - the "Google" app
12. Yes

strange because I made a totally clean install and did not have a 'google' app Icon. WTF !

I flashed your modified gapps package on goo.im.
Out of curiosity, should the gapps include PLAY/GMAIL etc ? because after I flashed the package none of the two were installed I had to manually install the apk I had saved on my pc.

Yeah - that means your system partition is too small. You need 230 for JellyBean with GAPPs. This will fall in later builds.

Isn't Skate v2b a 200 MB system?  Don't you need a custom TPT?

Yes, I was mistaking data & system but I ended up creating a custom TPT.

All sorted now :-)


The only frustrating issue for me is the phone constantly looks for GPS and keeps displaying a notification but I guess this is part of the functionality of Google Now. (Switching GPS off does not make any difference)

[iReece]

Is it possible for the full Google Now to work on our skates?
I mean, not having to go through several other apps to get to it, simly holding home, swiping up and talking to Gn.

Would that be possible in the near future?..
Or is google going to make it exclusive...
