And click the one saying Voice SearchClick 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 settingsGo to privacy and accounts and enable "Location and Google Search" and "Search on Google.com"And use Google Now as you please!

Guest razzmataz1478 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm going to need a bigger tpt than 215! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm going to need a bigger tpt than 215! Yeah - 230 is about right. But I've stripped down the next CM10 release so then partitions can go down in size again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iReece Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Doesn't work for me. Won't let me talk :/ keeps saying 'didn't catch that, try something else' This happens as soon as I press the mic button. I'm on wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah - thought that might happen. You need my newest JB release. Wait for me to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iReece Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah - thought that might happen. You need my newest JB release. Wait for me to post it. Okey dokey. Great that you've finally fixed it though! Really looking forward to it! After google now, the only major step is the PB. But, I assume that cannot get any better until you get some sources etc?

Guest tilal6991 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Well actually the new build also smoothes things out a bit more. PB is more of a concept than a physical thing in the system. So no don't need any sources. If anything it is a kernel issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tilal6991 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You need to use the "Voice Search for Google Now" app. Not the Google Now inbuilt voice search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tilal6991 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iReece Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iReece Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
