Sound Search (Google Ears) widget unable to add - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I cannot solve this problem. The Sound Search widget doesn't appear in the widgets list in 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 (using love4k21's build, or rogersb11's build). I tried installed CM 10.1.3, and sure enough, I can add it no problem there. Other people seem to be able to add it with those builds. No idea why I'm unable to. I think actually the last time I was able to add it was when I was using an official CM build (10.2). Once I switched to non-official builds, it disappeared. Any ideas?

I know the widget you are talking about. Why it is missing, I have no clue. Pressing the search button (on the bottom right) should have the same functionality. You could also just add a voice search shortcut instead of the widget.
If you really really want it without installing a newer rom, use the google now launcher. By default it is on the home screen.

What launcher are you using? I just tried it with nova launcher on SlimSaber and it worked just fine.

Wrong widget. This is sound search, not voice search.

Normal Trebuchet in CM. Let me try installing that launcher and see what happens.

You clearly stated in your op "sound search".

I know. I tried to make it very clear which app I'm referring to, since others have made the same mistake in the past. Not sure why burrito didn't get it.
I installed the Nova launcher, and am able to add Sound Search. So this is a problem specifically with Trebuchet. Thank you for this development.

[Q] volume control to move cursor?

Hello,
I've recently installed the CM9 ROM (p4wifi v20) and so far its looking great! I understand that you can you use the volume keys to move the cursor when typing, in fact I think that I had this working once, but now I cannot find out how you set this up and get it working - any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ackoman
The rom is aokp. Not cm9.
It is in rom control, under settings
oops. I meant the keyboard settings.

Ooops, yes you're right - I should have said aokp.
I still cannot find the settings you refer to I'm afraid - I've looked under rom control, and also in the keyboard settings (under language and input) but cannot see anything which refers to using the volume control to move the cursor. I'm probably just being dim. Would you mind sending a screenshot please?
Thanks,
Ackoman
go to inputs... look at all the keyboards... click on the settings icon to the right of the android keyboard.
the cursor setting will be in the middle. If you are not using the stock keyboard this may be why it is not working. Probably only works for it.

I'm totally confused by this, all I see is Text Correction, General, and Other options. I am using the default android keyboard.

Bizarre - I wonder whether something that I have restored to my tab after flashing is interfering with it. I'm going to try reflashing with the p4wifi v20 rom again and see what happens.
Cheers,
Ackoman
Hey Ackoman I seem to be unable to find the setting too. So its just not you.
I did I a full wipe too. :-$

Hey, well its good to know that I am not alone! The weird thing is, for a short while I definitely had this working, immediately after flashing with the p4wifi rom, I've clearly done something since that has knackered it.
I did flip back to the CM9 ICS kang rom using rom manager a couple of times, but don't see why that should screw up anything in the aokp installation.
OK, perhaps I'm getting somewhere now - just put a fresh installation of aokp on my tab, and lo and behold I've now got the option to have the volume control move the cursor when typing!
I reckon something I restored or installed on my tab was screwing it up - will systematically retrace my steps and see when it stops working again, and will beam back the results here.
Thanks,
Ackoman

Right, it didn't take me long to get it to stop working - I installed gapps.zip, and straight away that screwed it! So, next question is, should I not install gapps? Or perhaps I'm using the wrong version? I'm using the version that I downloaded when I put the CM9 ICS rom on.
If I shouldn't use gapps, how do I get market on my tab?

OK, I'm a tw*t - just re read the installation instructions for aokp, and it specifically says do not use any other copy of gapps. So, I guess that solves that.

Kudos Ackoman great detective work :-D
I love this feature, but I do not use the default keyboard. Would be nice if there was an app that enabled this feature for all keyboards.

New to AOKP

hello
Few day back i installed the AOKP rom with siyah kernel.
i checked for lock screen weather info. That was nice. but not accurate.
And i saw a lock screen weather icon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713241). Does AOKP support this.
If not how can i get this type of icons for weather info.
And can anyone tell me how to install the default stock video player from Samsung on AOKP rom.

Problem 1: I don't think so

Problem1: cant install that app or cant possible.
I mean if we cant install that app, do we have something else to get those icons on lock screen.
Problem 2: yes i searched in forums .. all suggested to install other video player (like bs or MX). but i like the default one.

1. Try it. but flashing something meant for a different device, on a similiar ROM, is ALWAYS a bad idea. but THIS wont hard brick your device. Could softbrick tho.
2. No, never, not at all. Touchjizz **** will not work on AOSP. If you did search, correctly, you'd have seen that. its been asked about every damn app on touchjizz.

Dashclock

Hey I have epinter's CM 10.1 installed but somehow can't access the dashclock widget from the playstore. Can anyone advise?

I've just had a look at this and have got it on mine with Epinter's rom.
Download and follow the instructions on the page https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock
When you have swiped across and you can see the Dashclock window, press and move it to the right and it will move stock lockscreen over and your Dashclock widget will become your primary (all you are doing in effect is merely replacing one 'lock' screen with another (rather like the home screens)
Hope that helps.

It's not so much as not knowing how to use it on my phone as the playstore rejecting the rom as incompatible to the widget app...

Check the screen resolution settings in your build.prop
EDIT: This problem occurred in the previous release by epinter. He fixed it with the latest release. You may consider updating.

I already updated to the latest rom, for some reason it just took playstore a while to recognize it as 4.2. But consider this case solved. Thanks.

CM11 KK app and widget draw behavior?

Hey everybody. I'm on Temesak's cm11 builds, and I have a question regarding the app and widget draw behavior. I'm assuming it's a KK thing though, not something to do with the builds.
Every time I open the app or widget draw it opens at the beginning of the draw (the A's). I was wondering if there is a way to have it remember the last page you were on? It's annoying when adding, say a few contact widgets having to scroll back there from the start each time. Same with the apps. Is there a workaround for this? I know, serious world problems eh! Just thought I'd ask.

Thats an unofficial build by Temesak, and also the official cyanogenomd 11 is work in progress and there are still lots of things to be corrected and lots of features to be added yet, the builds that Temesak is building is unofficial which he has build from cyanogenmod 11 source codes by adding his own twiks and features, so it would be best to ask him about this in his Cyanogenmod 11 thread.. maybe he can solve this problem by himself.. And also keep calm, be happy that you rae able to run the android kk which is not yet official from any place to SGS3. all this tings will be solved and missing features will take time to be fixed..
Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to bug him if it was just standard kk behaviour. I'll ask over there.

Even if its a standard kk behavior, cyanogenmod will surely make that one working.. without that the UI will be tasteless.. but i don't think its a kk behavior..
Google launcher don't have them settings. Probably won't

High brightness in new torch app [CM11]

Hi, i don't know if this should be posted here, i was looking for a cyanogenmod dedicated subforum, but here it goes anyway:
I'm using the latest temasek's rom based on CM11 (But this happen in all the cm11 roms) and i can't find the 'high brightness' option in the torch app. I used to have that option active in the old days, and the flashlight bright awesome, but the default bright is kinda low.
fyi, i google this problem but i don't found answers, thanks.

funny, just posted today the same question in temasek cm11 thread. thought the option could be blocked because of some settings, but it really seems to be removed for security reasons.
but I don't really care for that (have used it for long time in past and never had any problems), I simply replaced the torch.apk with an older one from an old nightly (with the old design) and now I have high brightness back.

for me it worked. one page after this post, I posted a flashable zip version of it, maybe this one works for you.
btw. on temasek ROM it is not needed anymore as high brightness mode is included again in the normal torch app.
