Has anyone had any luck with getting the new Google Experience Launcher to work on stock Jellybean? I can get the new Search to work and the "OK Google" hot words. When I try to select the GEL as my launcher, I get an error the "Google Services has Stopped" or something along those lines. I know I could just try Houstonn's full KitKat, but I'm not ready to try that. Has anyone gotten GEL to work on stock and if they did, did they do anything special to get it to work? I've tried the language changes and reinstalled the new Search, Play Services, etc.

Same issue here. Most likely related to a missing lib file I think. Thats how I got it to work on 4.2 rom once.

Just flashed randomblame's excellent JELLYTIME ROM on my Inspire. It's working great, but like so many others I've been bitten by the paid app bug in the Play Store encryption process. I'm looking for a work-around, but there doesn't seem to be much out there, or I'm missing it.
As far as widgets go, HD Widgets responded well to the "back up, delete and restore" treatment. But neither of my preferred keyboards (SwiftKey or Thumb Keyboard) will persist after a reboot. I tried the process mentioned above, but keyboard still reverts to stock. I'm using a free version of another keyboard app, and it does persist, but I'd really like to find a better solution.
3 questions:
1. Is there a workaround to get these keyboard apps to persist? I've found nothing, and I'd rather not go through the whole installation process every time I reboot.
2. If not, is there a way to use Tasker to install after reboot? I'm not really knowledgable about Tasker, and this seems to be beyond it's capabilities, but I'm not sure.
3. I've read that Google disabled encryption in the JB Play Store. What does that mean exactly? That apps purchased from JB Play aren't encrypted? If that's the case then they should persist correct? But I have, I think, the JB Play Store, and when I installed SwiftKey from Play, it still doesn't persist. Maybe I don't actually have JB Play. Or maybe Play remembers that my phone was originally Gingerbread and it won't let me install JB apps. I don't know.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Just checked. Along with JELLYTIME I flashed JB gapps zip found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675
Looks like the right one to me. Hmm...
Another P.S. When I search Play Store for Google Wallet on my laptop, it tells me it's not compatible with my phone. So I'm thinking Play doesn't realize I'm running JB. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi,
I installed the latest Google App / Google Now Search which was released last week (I think) on my Verizon Galaxy s4. When I go into Google Now now, I can say, "OK Google" and it begins to listen for my voice as usual. I can say something (it doesn't really matter what command I issue) like "What time is it in New York City?" and then it correctly prints out my words on the screen, and then beeps as if it's ready to go do the search or execute the command.
Then it crashes.
Every time, all the time. I've cleared data, I've force-stopped the app, I've rebooted, and even uninstalled the update to prove that it worked before the update. It did.
Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone? Thank you!
Lots of bugs in the new Google search and gnl. I haven't updated. If you have tibu you can maybe roll back or search around for older versions.
Also 406 shout out.

I may have to try that... I actually uninstalled and went back to version 1 and the search worked again. But then when I would do something like look at Google Maps and click the Navigation icon, it says "no application for this command." Whatever.
I did notice the Voice Search app itself works just fine. I can't just get it to work when I launch it via "Ok Google."
406 Shout out to you, too! In BZN here.

I just checked and I am on GNL 1.1.0.~
And Google search 3.6.16~
I also have Xposed GEL settings installed. I have no problems with hot word detection (from homescreen) or search results showing up, it even works over Bluetooth.

So I updated and hated it. Even before the last update I was having a hard time having ok Google pull up map(app) results. So I was looking to reverse the update with Titanium Backup. No luck there, it will only restore data.
This worked though - go to app manager, go over to all apps, select both Google app and Google Now Launcher and "uninstall updates". GNL will throw an error about Google search when you do this. I then went to the play store and updated ONLY the Google now Launcher, and left the Google app unupdated. Everything is back to normal!
"Ok Google" works, I have app results in my searches, I have the transparent backgrounds in the search bar and app drawer as well.

So there are a few things that I can't seem to get fixed up. First,with the Google keyboard, I don't get the stock emojis, only these weird LG ones that I don't care for. I can't seem to get them to go away even after erasing the stock lg keyboard.
Second, I can't get the 'Now on Tap' or 'Ok Google' from any screen to work, regardless of what I try. I only have the option to do it from the home page or Google app.
Anyone else having these issues and know how to fix em?
I'm on 47A, rooted, twrp installed, and Xposed framework installed.
I recently rooted (then un-rooted, long story) my Nexus 5x. After restoring my phone, I've noticed that if I do OK Google while in some apps, there's a message in the popup that says "search for something on (at sign)string/app_name" which seems to be a place holder for the actual app name. I never noticed this before restoring my phone. I attempted to reinstall the Google app but the issue persists.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any clues on how to fix it? Not really a huge issue, but it really bugs me.
If this is the wrong forum please let me know.
sounds like a bug in the app (typo in the code), as the "@" isn't used when referencing a string resource like that from Java.
can you post a screenshot? try updating to the latest version of the Google app and/or Google Play Services?
I just noticed this happen on my phone as well. I'm running Android 6.0 and updated the Play Store today. It seems to be an actual feature where you can search for a word on an installed app. E.g. fish on Facebook, cars or Pinterest. I tried this and it worked on a few apps but not everything. If this is actually a new feature and I'm not just confused that could explain the bugs. Since this happened to you a while back, maybe it was unlocked during root, kind of like the split screen Easter egg on 6.0?
Morning! I flashed AOSP to my Nexus6P yesterday and it's a fantastic ROM and has no issues. My issue here seems to be when I flashed Gapps. All Google apps flashed perfectly on my device, with the exception being Gboard. While it functions, I cannot access any of the settings; every time I click one it throws back the error "Gboard has stopped". Additionally, if I try to add a Gboard overlay in Substratum, an error pops up that the asset cannot be found, or something of that sort...tried it on all of my packs, same thing. I have a feeling my phone doesn't recognize Gboard as actually being installed. When I look for it in Play under My Apps, it isn't there.
Any advice? Thanks!
Hmm I would try uninstalling it from the settings application or disabling it, go into google play and get gboard from there.

No option to uninstall. If I view it in Settings>Apps, it says com.android.imputmethod.latin, where I think in the playstore it has . google in the name. Maybe that's what's screwing it up? When I view it on the playstore there isn't even a button for "open".
I'm having the same issue... Tried everything, but didn't help. Can someone help?

Might I ask what you've tried? It's driving me up a wall, and there's literally nothing about this anywhere.
I got it to work, finally. I had to do factory reset, wipe everything, and then install it through AROMA, don't do stock, I don't believe it is actually gboard but rather google keyboard (on stock) which I don't even think exists anymore.
