Im rooted and on a stockish rom. There was some kitkat errors they were working through I think. It isnt fixed obviously.
Orbot quit for me after Android 4.1.2. I got no response from app developers and even installing app updates never fixed anything.
Get Anonify from the Play Store and use with the stock browser for anonymous Web browsing. I just tested the app on my N3 running 4.4.2 and I was successfully connected to Tor. I used the Anonify app a lot more on my old S3 though. No issues at all.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

Right now the main thing that doesn't seem to work is Calendar/setting alarms.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

I couldn't get it to work.... Musta done something wrong...
OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Any way to uninstall?
Sent from my LG Optimus G.
Titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.
Has anyone had good luck with this?

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?
Hi all,
I mistakenly installed the 4.4 KitKat Launcher which updated Google Now, and since I don't have root (and one doesn't appear to exist yet), I'm stuck unless I do a full wipe. Anybody know of where to download the stock Google Now apk for 4.3? I'd rather not wipe over this one small issue, but maybe I'll have to. Thanks in advance.
I don't know where on xda to find one, but you can just download 'team blackout updater' from the play store and download one of themed Google now apk's they offer.
But if you're problem with the 4.4 Google now is just the force closing, all you have to do is switch the language to something else then switch back to fix it.

Hah, nevermind. Just discovered the Uninstall Updates button. Reverted back to stock app and it's fine now.
That would also work yes

Ok so everyone knows that you should be able to install .apk if you set to allow. I'm able to with other .apk and don't have issues normally.
My question is, do I need root to get the 4.4 keyword, launcher etc to work?
Ideas on steps I can take while still stock. I have no problem rooting. Just haven't got around to it.

So launcher won't work as Google search keeps crashing when I attempt to enable the new 4.4 launcher.
So I'm going to just root it and go that route to enable it that way. Keyboard isn't working either while stock and not or rooted either.

I apologize if this has already been solved but everything I am finding for replacing Samsung apps with AOSP seem to be limited to 4.3, not 4.4.2. I tried using one of them anyway; SMS worked but MMS caused a FC. Has anyone else managed to replace MMS on NC2 (at least until NC5 is rooted)?
I guess it will come eventually as many have upgraded to NC2 and some NC5...so I shall wait, in embittered impatience.
Try 8sms in the Play Store

Thanks. I have been using Hangouts...which despite Google's shameless plugging of G+ is actually pretty good.
My problem started yesterday, Play Store won't load anything just times out, maps won't load, can't even do a Google search, any other search engine such as Yahoo works. YouTube and Gmail work as well. It shows I am also connected with lte. I was on Omni ROM so I decided to Odin to stock. While on stock I checked to see if I could preform a google search and I could. Proceeded to load up an older version of Omni and it worked until I signed into my Google account. No matter if it is PAC ROM or Omni after I sign in, everything mentioned above stops working again.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Forgot to mention when I'm on WiFi everything works, even while signed into my Google account. Its only when connected to to Verizon network that the problem happens. I have already called Verizon and they said no problems in my area.

A bit of an update. I found out the play store is showing my phone as not having a carrier.

Hvae you tried rebooting.. Close the play store than reboot and let it load again..
Sometimes it takes a few mins for the "Agree to terms" pop up comes up

Store loads, but only on WiFi. I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the Sim card. Like I said when I go to the Play Store on my computer it shows my device as not having a carrier.

Hmm not sure.. I have never come across that issue before? And this only happens on Omni? Touchwiz or another AOSP Rom works fine?

So far all AOSP Roms. I have tried omni, PAC, and cm11. Ran out of time last night so I will try Touchwiz tonight.
Edit: Another update. Still haven't been able to test out Touchwiz roms, but I have found that when I try to do speed test using either speedtest.net app or a no plugin based test in a browser upload test just sits there and does nothing. Download speeds are fine though. And yet I'm on mobile data right now and can obviously I can send out request to servers to get data. And send out data to update my post here.

Finally was able to try Touch wiz roms. They seem to continue to work. Looks like I will be stuck on Touchwiz. I even tried to flash another aosp after running Touchwiz for a bit and problem came back.
Just a bit of an update. After a month of running Alliance rom 26 I decided to give aosp rom another go, hate touchwiz. Now I didn't do anything different than I used to, but I'm happily on Omni rom again and everything is working. Still don't really know what the deal was. At one point during this past month my desktop computer stopped working with Google services just like my phone did, but I was able to restore it by flushing the dns cache.
