Yes, it is the official Google apk. It might not show up in the market depending on your operator or region.
Thanks for that, this was the only thing missing from the 2.1 update that bothered me. glad to have it back. funny part is when i first boot up my phone it had the voice search bar on screen but as soon as it finished loading the search widget changes to a plain ol search bar without the mic icon.
Just change your search widget to the updated search widget. You should be gold.
kewl it worked, moved the old one to the trash can and added the widget again. fyi in my previous post about how it showed before then changed. that was actually before i got the apk from this here. but after adding the apk it worked after replacing. fyi thats the search bar that is on my wifes x10 by default. but she is still using the shipped 1.6 ver.
I find the Voice Talk on my Samsung Galaxy S2 very annoying. It seems to load up even when I click the middle button once ...sometimes difficult to start it when I click the button twice...
Is there anyways, to disable to middle button to run the voice talk app... I hardly use it anyways.... of cos without rooting the phone.
Thanks

Same here. I want it done without rooting. Or at least push SS to make it optional from next build. drives me crazy!!
Me too, i'm trying to disable in setting but nothing can stop it. I know it can't stop if root but i don't want
Sorry Peeps, this has been asked in a similar thread a couple days ago
[Q] Home Key Double Press / Tap

Any chance of doing this without having to edit "\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManage" or use a theme?
Finally rooted my GalaxyS2 via DarkyROM HD ...and deleted the annoying Vlingo app along with other apps too. Brilliant.

Using XDA Premium over Resurrection Remix ICS, the Best Rom ever made
Anyone running ICS can easily remove voice talk (Vlingo) by installing go launcher from the market, go to apps drawer ,long press on voice talk,hit delete, Vlingo gone....uninstall go launcher..done! No rooting required.

Brilliant! I hate this app. I always seemed to double press Home by accident. I use Go Launcher anyway, and somehow didn't think to try uninstalling Voice Talk
yeah!

thanks man works great! :good:
just delete the apk file from system/app
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.
More Information here and here

I can confirm that it works on SlimROM 1.6
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.
I've tried installing both the regular and transparent versions, and neither one will install. Anybody else run into this?
Anyone?

Are you talking about the "What's this song?" widget? If so, I just downloaded from the market place and it works fine. If you are talking about the Google search bar, it works just fine on Nova Launcher, worked as a widget on Sense, too...

Eh...
Its not on the play store that I can see. Do you have a link?
Weird, it's not in my apps list anymore, nor can I find it on Google Play anymore, but it is still working on my phone perfectly...
Android Police has it.

It force closes the app. I think we need the APK for it to function.
Has anyone installed and tried Google Dialer on this phone yet? If so which apk did you use? Any problems?
What google dialer are you talking about? It already has the stock dialer from aosp on the phone.

Has built in caller id and you can type in names of nearby places to call stores and such.
I have and works perfectly.

Is there anything special needed? Root? Disabling the stock dialer?
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.

Thanks for the link and info!
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.
