Hello,
When I click on a link in my email using Gmail, Google Voice reads the link. It is really enerving.
Google Voice reads some other unrequested texts, such as in Amazing Alex app, and probably some other I didn't notice.
Thank you !

Go into settings-> application manager-> Google voice and select clear defaults should do the trick

For any of you who want the Google Now feature from jellybean. The update came out yesterday finally got voice working. So its pretty much a fully functional Google Now port
Edit: its more of a work around for voice. But it works well

Thread Closed
It's nice to know that improvements were made on the Google Now app.
However, in the interest of keeping the thread a little cleaner, I will close this thread. And the reason, is that any issues resulting from the Google Now app, should be put in the apps OP, or the Q&A forum.
Not to mention I think all people know about the app, and it thus constitutes duplicate threads.

Figured I'd share for those of you who use gmail on a regular basis. You can download the newest release of gmail from the play store. To enable the zoom feature (which is completely awesome) go into the general settings in gmail and then check the box to enable auto-fit.
Didn't even notice it auto updated. Thanks!

Excellent find OP. This setting has been a looooooooooooong time coming and was desperately needed.
l had the modded version with the Swype to delete but I reinstalled the original with the zoom and I'm loving every minuteof it! Thanks otherwise I never would have payed attention to the update.

No Problem. Just figured I'd share it with everyone.
Hi, I'm not really sure what to do about this screen. I started getting a notification that seems to come from the official app (I long tapped, and checked the notification info), but this "update" apparently needs to be side loaded onto the system instead of installed through the Play Store. Has anyone else gotten this update prompt? I'm not sure what to do here.

i just got that just right now, its very weird...facebook getting hacked???
Now I'm getting a suspicious looking sign in error that is prompting me to sign in with my Google account. Something is definitely spamming me.
i found this on search supposedly explaining it
Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store)
Facebook appears to be doing an end run around the Google by pushing an update to the social network’s open app to Android users today… and the update isn’t coming from the Google Play Store. The Facebook app on your phone downloads the update automatically and then beeps or vibrates incessantly until you install it (or uninstall the app altogether).
So what does the new version of Facebook for Android do?
According to Facebook it lets you change your profile picture using the mobile app, allows you to hide stories and report spam, and start group messages more quickly.
But there’s one other thing the new app does: It allows itself to download future updates without alerting you.
If you look at the permissions required by the app, there’s a new one that says “download files without notification.”
This effectively lets the Facebook app for Android automatically update itself without going through the Google Play Store. It’s not clear exactly why Facebook is taking this step. But once you’re prompted to download the new version of the mobile app the only alternatives appear to be to put up with annoying notifications or remove the Facebook app from your Android device.

Thanks! I installed them all on AT&T Moto X Stock and they're working fine. I just couldn't see the difference in Launcher but I don't think I installed that.

Thanks. I tried the calendar and it seems to be working. Looks great. Any idea how to get it to show in App Drawer?

Figured it out. This was a Nova issue. I installed the google now launcher and it shows up.
Thanks for the apps.
How do I install the new launcher. It's a zip file. Do I need to sideload? Do I need root?

To get lollipop launcher, install Velvet.apk first, then GoogleHome.apk
I just uploaded those apk in the same folder

Thanks so much. I really like the messenger and gmail apps. I've got no need for inbox now.
I couldn't get the new Google Now launcher to work though, I keep getting Google search FC's. I'm not rooted and so I can't disable Google search before installing the velvet.apk. Any ideas on how I could get it to work?

I am not rooted as well, try install Velvet.apk and GoogleHome.apk and then disable original app, then restart device
the lollipop launcher works fine for me
You can't disable the original apk once you install the new one. I think you have to be rooted for it to work properly

Just checked my disabled app list, no google search app, so you don't have to disable it
Try install both Velvet.apk and GoogleHome.apk then restart the phone
It works on my phone without root
Can't get home to work either
Works but Google Search stops
Hi,
It works and installed ok for me, but then Google Search stops responding every 10 secs of idle use.
Uninstalled and no issues using stock launcher and Google Search.
I figured out the search force close issue.
You just need to turn off "OK Google" Detection. This shouldn't be a big deal because you have moto voice.
Just swipe left for google now, then go to settings, voice, and turn off "OK Google" detection.

Is there a difference between the launcher in this post and the google now launcher in play store?
