I was 11 Slim which including voice search, however, after flashing 13, voice search is not installed and I can't find it in Market. How should I do to solve this problem?
you could download his version 10 full and pull it out of the systems/apps folder then just put it in the systems/apps folder of your tab. use root explorer to do this. make sure you set mount RW at top.
also you should flash his 13.1 slim. it is the most recent and may fix it for you. make sure you read his install instructions!

Define "not installed." I just used the little mic on the screen, said a word, and it opened the browser with a Google search of that word.
Edit: I'm on Galaxy Task 13.1.

I am not sure if my memory has it right, but I think that in the stock Tab ROM, the mic icon displayed next to Google Search on the home page. After installing Task 13.1, the mic icon is gone from the home page but if you tap the Google Search icon, the mic is displayed on the resulting page. It may be one extra tap but it still works for me.

Weird... the mic is on my home page. Wonder if it has anything to do with the ICS theme I added.

Im in 13.1 now.
And, Yes, No mic icon near search and in app drawer. Also, I click into Search, it still has a mic icon, but it will redirect me to market which no voice search i can install.
It's weird. 11 Has it, but 12 up do not find voice search out.

You are right. I had not tested it. The mic icon is there on the Google search page but when I tap it, I get "no results found" on what looks like a Market page. This is a bummer.

I can confirm the same results as RGardner.
It was missing from my install of v13.1 also. I confirmed it in root explorer, no system app for voice search. I did download v10 and extract it (as stated in an earlier post),installed in system app and now its installed and working.

So I'm not totally crazy. Good to know, eh?
I fixed it by replacing voice search apk from 11 using Ti backup.
My TB backup would not restore. The app hung and I had to reboot. I did find the apk with a Google search and all is now well. Why is this app not in the market or on some Google site?

Whenever I try to set an alarm via the stock Voice Command app I am told that "set alarm feature is not supported." - even though the functionality is mentioned in the help section.
Is there a way to get this to work, or alternately, is there other software that will do the job? The google search/voice command app seems to take me directly to search when the command is prefixed with 'set alarm'.

Try Voice Actions..Free app on the market (maybe there's a paid version too )
It seems that the Clock app that Samsung provides is the problem, I would guess installing Androids default clock would solve the problem, but that would probably require root access, and I don't know where to find the APK either...
Same problem here. I am on 2.3.5 KI3 Rooted and would love to try installing a stock android clock or something that would fix this!
Any suggestions?
Same here im on on Kl3 2.3.5 rooted

There was a stock android clock app in the market that was compatible. Unfortunately I can't find it for some reason. I did however come across an app in the market that does work. Here's the link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock&feature=search_result
EDIT: Found it!! It wasn't in the market lol, anyways just install the apk like any other app.
NO Luck!

Which one did you install? The market app or the one I attached. I tried both and It did work. Have you updated the voice search app?
Hey guys...I'm on KI3 2.3.5 and with some researching I found an app called alarm clock plus and it works flawless with stock Samsung voice commands.

there are many apps on the android market..you can use those apps for every action i.e set alarm, update fb status, ask silly ques.. some of them are talktoit, cleverbot, skyvi, iris... try these and choose which is good for you...
I'm on ConROM v4 (Senseless), and I just got Google Now partially working on my Rezound. The search works by typing but trying to use voice keeps crashing.
No guarantees, but here's what I did:
1. Downloaded the apk here
2. Used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Search.
3. Removed the Search Bar widget from my homescreen.
4. Install the apk. Reboot
5. Add the search widget back.
6. It's ask to Authorize to your account twice. Agree to both.
7. Use the text search widget. Trying the microphone crashes the app.
Curious if the geniuses here can get voice working.

Be interesting to see if we can get voice working. With dev's dropping left and right, I can only hope.
There's a few threads elsewhere on XDA about it, one way involves doing build.prop edits, voice is still screwed across the board though.

My guess is the voice component requires the newer API, but it could also just be Sense screwing things up...

That's not the problem. There are build.prop editing threads that change the devices api version, but voice is still shot.

That's because you're not really changing the API at all, just what version it reports. Making it show a higher number does not actually mean your device supports the higher API version!
You can change the version string to make Gingerbread report as Android 4.1 - again, this will not actually bring any Android 4.1 features to gingerbread.
In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.
Any solution?
I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).

ok so google now has updated to allow voice search over bluetooth headset which DOES work...or for me anyways,. HOWEVER
we still have the same ol' problem of being not able to "push bluetooth headset button" to open google now .
or shall i say i cant find a way, has anyone else had success with this?
so far ive tried disabling s-voice in apps menu, and now it goes to google voice dial,
i cannot disable voice dial.,
ive also tried using the "bluetooth launch" app from market to no response,
any help would be majorly appreciated
update:
ive now gotten google now to come up from bluetooth button push, however seems googlenow just freezes once opened, still works fine from widget microphone press just not from BT,
this post from another site helped

I'm not sure if this is true for other phones listed above, but for The Galaxy Note II, I had to make sure S-Voice was disabled (it says Voice Dialer on the first post).
Also, if you have downloaded bluetooth launcher you probably already tried:
"Google Search" and then selected "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
and was still launching S-Voice. Once you disable S Voice (note the space) go into Settings > Application manager and scroll to the right to ALL. Then find S Voice and disable it.
Once you disable it and hit the button on the paired bluetooth device, you will get a "Complete Action Using" dialog. Resist the temptation to choose Google search. I know it's the logical choice, however you will not get Google Now; you will get a Google voice dialer instead. So make sure you choose "Bluetooth Launch" and select ALWAYS. Now when you hit the bluetooth button, you should get Google Now.
soooo, no progress
still stuck at getting the microphone to actualy work when google now is accessed.
i see a thanks from member "exitcode1" did you have any better luck ?

No, I have it installed but I have 2 phone apps in app drawer, you can't disable the phone app that comes with the phone.
Just tried it. Moto assist does not work using the Google dialer. So when I'm home, the phone no longer let's me answer the phone with voice activation. I use that more than I'd use the Google dialer features, thanks for posting the apk though.

Any time I do the location search at the top of the dialer in the APK I get a force close of the dialer. For instance I can type "Home Depot", as soon as I press on the result to select it I get a FC.

I'm pretty sure you need more than just the dialer apk to get that functionality.
I was looking for a way to have that functionality as well, and after a little research I found out that the location search on the dialer is an exclusive feature for Nexus and Google Play devices :crying: . I had that on my Galaxy S4 GPE and I liked that feature too. Found a post on Android Police explaining on how to make it work on other devices, but a lot of bugs can happen.

I've updated to Android 5.0 out of the box when I got my phone few days ago. - This morning I've installed the 1.1 Dialer APK linked in this thread, however, something did not work, when I pull up the app info on the only icon in the drawer it tells me version 5.0-10.
However, if I go into Settings > Apps > (Downloaded Tab) I see Dialer 1.1 is installed, under (All) I still see Dialer, and version lists 5.0-10 - The 5.0-10 is the stock moto one for Android 5.0, and this one does not have the caller ID, reverse look-up.
I might try disabling the 5.0-10, but from what I understand, that messes with the phone in a big way?

I'm not sure what can happen if you disable the stock dialer app, maybe prevent you from making/receiving phone calls if you don't have another dialer app installed? That's just my guess though, never actually did it to check. Were you able to make the location feature work?

I was unable to get the Caller ID to work, the phone shows me that they are both installed ( Settings > Apps ) - however, the one that came with the stock/factory ROM is preventing the 1.1 version for loading/showing at all in the apps list, so short of disabling the stock one (which I understand is not something one should be doing), I can't even open/access the offloaded one (Dialer 1.1)
I might get brave and disable the stock dialer, see if the Dialer 1.1 surfaces in the apps list.

I think that no major issues should arise as long as you just freeze the app and not uninstall it with titanium backup, but again, that's just my wild guess haha. Anyway, leave us posted about your findings.

OK - Got it Working!!! - Not Really, it crashes.
Step #1 - Download/Install the APK from this post
(will need a file manager to browse the phone to where the APK was downloaded to)
Step #2 - Create shortcut for Google Dialer 1.1 that you just installed using QuickShortcutMaker
Detailed instructions are HERE - Start at Step #3 on that page.
(Stock Dialer should be the only one showing in app drawer, you need to make a shortcut for the Google Dialer 1.1)
Step #3 - Win!!!
Some Pictures as Proof in Puddin
Stock Moto X Lollipop 5.0 Dialer / Settings
Nexus Android 5.x Dialer (Dialer 1.1) / Settings / Results
Google Dialer 1.1 shortcut above Stock Dialer shortcut.
Since trying this app initially, I've rooted my phone, and I've tried to follow steps outlined in (http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-new-kitkat-4-4-3-dialer-your-htc-one-0155515/), specifically Step 2 - Where the app is installed in /system/priv-app/ folders - I am sad to report this does not work still on MotoX
As previous users suggested, there are probably those other services the Dialer depends on that need to be installed.
I'll update if I find a solution.
I don't know if it matters but I had a Nexus 6 before getting my Moto X. The Google Dialer was version 2.0. I didn't grab the APK before returning it but I'm sure it could be pulled from the factory image.
I was unable to make this work, root/non-root.
