Working Google's GEL launcher (KitKat) - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

I just found this new Google's KitKat launcher (as far as I know this version is not even have been included in KitKat) and it works very well on my phone with latest Paranoid. I think,that it should work on any 4.2.2+ rom.OK Google command (Google Now) works directly from home screen without pressing anything! Swiping from left also opens Google Now cards. And it's just simple APK file for install! I already have had latest Google Search v. 3.1.8.** installed on the phone so launcher was the only thing for install.

Do you happen to have any idea on whether or not this will work for P769? I have v20f (4.1.2), and have Search 3.1.8 and latest Play Services, but when I try to launch the Launcher, it simply says that Google Search has stopped. I've tried the method I've been seeing around where I would go to Search > Voice > and change the language from English (US) to (UK) and do a search, but even that doesn't work.

I'm also having the same problem, I installed both the apps and installed them when i open the launcher app it tells me that google search doesn't work.I don't seem to find a solution to this and I'm starting to think it does not work with our type of phone model( p769v20*)

It works for me but I'm on PA. Do you have offline language/s downloaded?
P.S. I just read all posts on original thread and many have problem with this launcher on JB 4.1.2,so it looks that it doesn't work on 4.1.2...

Google Maps 4.2 for HTC Legend

I couldn't find Google Maps 4.2 in Market and installed it from .apk instead. Now the map is refreshing and loading very very slowly. Someone experiencing the same problem?
Also I do not have multi-touch in Google Maps 4.2.
nope, my works fine,
update to the newest rom through OTA or .exe from Legend Android Development Section. The code version name of rom: Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed
you can find the topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697586
Maps 4.2 worked fine here, but now a problem exists with 4.3 version. Okay, can't find on the market as usual. But even installing the downloaded .apk doesn't work. With the .apk you can only uninstall or update the existing maps. But it only stays at 4.2, whatever I do.
Anyone having similar problems and a workaround?
I installed the stock RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed ROM which comes with GoogleMaps 4.1 and pinch-to-zoom by default. I could not find GoogleMaps in the Market...

[Q]Voice Search for HTC Hero ?

Is there any version of Voice Search That works with AOSP Gingerbread for Hero? I had Voice Search on the SFM 3.0 Hero test 1 sense rom and it worked ... I've tried to take that apk and install it to Elelinux's GB but it is not working ... the app starts but it doesn't let me speak it shows only a spinning circle like the app is loading but it never does. I tried downloading it from the market via PC but it doesn't let me download it : "This item cannot be installed in your device's country." Can someone point me to an link where I can download a working Voice Search for Hero? I want to use it in Iris app as I did in the above sense rom
For me - Market Enabler - change of provider - downloading from market "google voice search" - on elelinux 7.1.0 v 3.5.1 - WORKED!

[Q]Can't use Google TTS rather than Pico

Hi,
I upgraded my ROM version (Stock) and lost my Google TTS service,
I only have the Pico one..
I do have Google Now and its working with the good smooth fluently unrobotic voice, but I can't make it to work with other apps..
I tried many kinds of apps but they all choose to use the Pico service (I don't have any more option in settings)
I guess I lost the .apk file on the system/apps for that..
Could anyone please upload that for me?
I don't know how its called, just upload everything looks familiar or has the word Google voice/TTS/text to speak/ speach/ idk..
Or perhaps you are familiar with that problem and know exactly what the solution for that is,
That would be great,
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on Sony Xperia Z (rooted with Stock de-odexed ROM)
Thanks ahead!!
Yarden.

Please Advise regarding the Chinese version of my device

Hi
I purchased Honor 7 (PLK-AL10) 64GB from Aliexpress.com but aftere received it, I found that the rom is Chinese version and I faced problem to create google accounts as other regular devices.
How can I change the Chinese rom to international version? is it available or not yet?
please advise
my regards
Not advisable to change, because it also changes the firmware for important things like GSM&LTE.
But the fix is fairly easy: go into the Huawei app store k(NOT! the google playstore) and download the the google playstore, and google contac synch. (just search for "google" and based on the icons download what you need)
Once the google playstore and contact synch work, you can forget the Huawei store.
Alternatively you can search here in XDA for "gapps" as an installable apk. Careful though, there are many fakes & infected o es out there, so stick to xda!
Free advice: when buying in china always request that they install google apps.
Thank you for your reply.
I did as you advised that to go to Chinese market and download the google play but please note that it will work temporary maybe one day or less.
My regards
I installed Gapps (Play store, contacts) from Huawei store on my Honor and it works successfully, without any problem. (but Play Store self-updated to newest version).
GMaps also works.

Google Dialer and VoLTE

Hi guys,
I got my Xperia 1 last week but I have a couple of questions I cannot find the answer to.
1. Has anyone managed to get VoLTE working on Three in the UK? VoLTE Provisioned is disabled and greyed out in the phone testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
2. To troubleshoot the above I loaded on the customised UK firmware from XperiFirm which didn't help, but in doing so I've lost the ability to install Google Dialer from the Play Store. When I try to sideload the apk I get an error about a missing module. When I got the phone it came with Google Dialer and it was installable from the Play Store.
Thanks!
Wow really you had Googler dialer when you first had the device? I noticed the Xperia 5 had it but didn't realize the Xperia 1 had it also.

It did, but no matter which FW I flash I cannot get it back. It's weird.
I would also like to know which firmware customization the google phone app has pre-installed.
Has anyone figured it out yet?
Otherwise I have to flash all customized firmwares and look which has it xD

Can't answer the question about VoLTE, but which APK did you manually try to install?
I've got the customized NOBA firmware on my X1, and while it didn't have the Google Dialer preinstalled, I got the APK from APKMirror and now my phone even gets updates for the dialer app through the Play Store.

For some reason, I was unable to get the dialer from the store and I had to download the APK. The contacts app however, was available from the store.
I am from Austria and have the EU customization. I can not install the Google phone app from playstore, because my device is not compatible. I think, this is due to the missing of the google dialer framework.
But we actually have Android 9. Android 10 was not released yet in EU customization.
Is this a normal behaviour with Android 9?
Do you guys know, if they just made the phone able to install the google phone app with android 10?
Edit:
With latest Android 10 it is possible to install the Google phone app, therefore, solved for me
thanks

!!PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE CONTINUING. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY!!
I've managed to get VoLTE working on the Xperia 1 by using a guide given to me and I'll share what I've done to you now, I've only tried this on Android 10 not Android 9 If your on A9 then try it at your own risk.
1. Root
2. File Manager with root support
3. Go to /oem/modem-config
4. Delete "anysim" folder
5. Rename "S9033.1" to "anysim"
6. Go here " https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80231731&postcount=395" and download "VoEnabler.zip" From the Google Drive link
7. Put "VoEnabler.zip" onto your device and install via Magisk and reboot.
8. You should now be able to use VoLTE and VoWiFi.
I asked why this wasn't enabled from the start and got mixed responses, though the most common was: Three UK doesn't sell the device so they told Sony not to enable it.
