[APP] Google now for CM9 [UPDATED 17 JUNE]

Disclaimer: Voice search is not working. Use swiftkey or another keyboard app that you like to type with your voice.
Also, this app is not really stable. You can not exit the app with the back button, you need to press home and kill it manually.
STEPS:
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.
Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.
Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1
Now reboot & install the app from the download link. [LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j85otexnkoktfiv/Velvet.apk ]
Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.
Modify Permissions (As shown in this picture! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045&page=74 )
After this: Check if Google now starts, if you get a network error, that is ok!
If you get the network error:
Download this apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u09rrb81ju6bkp7
Use root explorer to push the app to /system/app
Reboot
NEW SCREENSHOTS. (Taken on my new phone, Galaxy Nexus. I stopped using my Wildfire S and wanted some new screenshots, so here!)

This has been posted numerous times, but I made this tutorial specifically for our device.
WHAT YOU NEED:
HTC Wildfire S (Rooted - Running CM9 Alpha 5 or higher)
ES File explorer (or any other root explorer)
This APK: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u09rrb81ju6bkp7
STEP 1:
Open ES File explorer and go to the settings (menu button -> settings).
Scroll down, press Up to Root so that its on.
Scroll as far as you can down, accept all three options there (Root explorer, Mount File system, backup system app).
STEP 2:
Go up to root (press the folder up button until you can't go further up).
Go to the folder /system.
Scroll down and press on the file build.prop.
On the 7th line, it says: ro.build.version.sdk=15.
Change the 15 to 16 and then press menu button -> save.
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE.
STEP 3:
If you haven't put the APK on your sd card, do it now.
Go to the folder on your SD card where you put the APK file (velvet-theo0o.apk).
Install the APK.
DO NOT OPEN THE APPLICATION.
Go to /system and open build.prop again, and edit the ro.build.version.sdk=16 back to 15.
REBOOT THE WILDFIRE S.
MOST IMPORTANT THING:
enjoy google now.
The normal APK works just fine, but you won't be able to use the google now cards, you can only search. (the search is great though)

Worked for me. If i'm right there should be an app called 'Google' on your phone now.

SUDDENDLY DIFFERENT XDA THEME.
I might edit the OP if more people have this problem...

When I rebooted, upon getting the launcher, I saw an error "Unfortunately, Google Search Has Stopped Working" so now changed the values and rebooting again. Hope For The Best :')

Hmm I'm working on a updated OP guide.

Updated the OP, a bit clearer and more like the Source post where i got it from.

F$%K this **** man. I was so happy to see Google Now for my device :\

Its a bit of a pain to install.. just follow the new guide and if that doesn't work follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045

I already have seen that link and tried that too, but no luck.
---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------
And the new OP isn't working for me as well. LOL

I'll post some more about how this works tomorrow.. it shows a nice weather card for me now and my next appointment for tomorrow. To search with the app however i cant use the Google app, i need to go to home and hold search button and then choose google..?

still getting a network error after following modified OP. search works fine and is updated to new look, but I don't see the google now cards and whatnot.
running the most current simonsimmons cm9 nightly
ill try a reinstall from scratch tomorrow but im nearly positive i followed everything to a T
EDIT:
after checking this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045&page=74
and modifying the permissions for velvet-theos0o-5.apk as shown exactly in the screenshot on first post, it now works as described
so for any of you who followed the original directions and were getting network errors, this might help.

I did not change any build.prop content . Just rename the file after place it in system/app and change permission. Reboot . That's it. Works fine for me.

Well great, before I get my Galaxy Nexus (Monday or Tuesday) I will update the thread and all my other tutorials for CM7.

Also, this app tutorial works for any phone running android 4.0.4+.

Thanks
I finally got Google Now running on my HTC Desire S with CM9.
Very nice torturial
I think you should write that you need to change the permissions on the second downloaded .apk.
I should

Welp, updating the thread now.

[APP][CM] Install Location - choose where to install apps

#Henkate said:
For me, the weather widget works, also in notification drawer.
Regarding install location, take a look here, as a alternative: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/43517/installing-to-sdcard-by-default
Run in terminal:
(0 auto, 1 internal and 2 external sd card)
PHP:
pm set-install-location 0/1/2
EDIT:
@samiblm : if you want, i can make a small app with Tasker which ask you where you want to install everytime you are in Package Installer ( the menu after you click to install an .apk). The app would work like this: when it see that you are in Package Installer ( you want to install an app), a small popup appears and ask you where you want to install, you choose and then you can install.

Alright. I've made a small app using Tasker for CM which will show a popup with option to choose where to install the app you want. The app run in background and the popup appears when you are in Package Installer (when you want to install an app). I hope you'll find it useful as the setting regarding it is gone in latest cm release.
I called it Install Location.
To run that pm set-install-location commands we need root, so the app need root too because that.
Please read the below informations.
HOW IT WORKS?
Upon first run, it run su command to get root access. If you decline the access, the app won't work, so it will ask for su again after you open it again. If you allow the access, then it will turn a profile on which shows a popup to choose install location when it detect that you are in Package Installer. The Package Installer it's the trigger. You choose your choice, then the popup dissapear and then simply install the app you want.
NOTES
1) If you want to cancel the popup, just press back button (phone button).
2) If you want to stop this app from showing the popup, then simply force close it in settings.
3) If you greenify / hibernate the app, then it stop working.
4) There shouldn't be any battery drain.
5) BUG: when you uninstall an app, the popup will appear too since uninstalling apps is done by Package Installer too. I don't think there's any way to fix this, at least I don't have any idea.
6) The app should work on other phones/ROMs as long the command pm set-install-location is supported.

PROJECT SOURCES
Download source: http://www.mediafire.com/?x45maikt876f7kk
It is Tasker code. You must install Tasker and then copy the file Install_Location.prj.xml to Tasker folder > projects, then open Tasker, press on home icon, choose import and choose the .prj file you copied. Then you got the source and can edit it as you like. To build app with Tasker, you need to install it's plugin named App Factory (Google play store). You can find basic informations like how to import project on Google or i think even on Tasker website.

@samiblm said that isn't working for him, but for me is working fine. Can someone else confirm this?

Anybody can confirm whether is working for you or not? lol

Sorry that i didnt have time to reply earlier than this, but here is the thing; when i type the command in the termonal i get this error :
And since the app uses this same command, it will obviously fail to complete the task

Write "su" (without quotes) and press "enter", then write the pm command.. My app does run su command before pm command too when you choose your option in the popup, to make sure that the command will work.
It works for me, but I don't understand why doesn't work for you.
So, write su command before that and let me know if there's any error.

Running su first and then "pm set-install-location 2" works fine, but "su pm set-install-location 2" ends with an error as there is no user pm

I don't understand what's wrong. I've tested it myself and it is working fine for me When you want to install an app, the pop-up should appear (like in the screenshot from first post), before touching "install".
I'll try to make a new one and I'll remove the su check at first run.

Not sure if it is su related.
I changed root access from always ask to allowed but it did not make a difference.
I can test for you, if you want.
Btw, j500F with CM 20160821 version here

I did what you suggested and no error is given this time, but it's still not working and the apps are still getting installed in the internal sdcard ..

Android 10 / Q - Korean stock ROM on V35 ULM (factory unlocked) US version

...
EDIT 8/8/2022: This will probably wipe out your phone call capability. I didn't make a backup of some partitions so now it can't make any phone calls, although LTE data works fine. I spent few hours trying going back to stock US version Oreo but that did not fix my phone call issue. Whenever I try to call, it cancels the call showing "Call ended" immediately. So if you are unsure, do not follow this guide.
...
Lot of the material is from @cmrntnnr post #1 on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...instruction-no-octoplus-box-required.4052145/
I initially followed that but couldn't get it to work from Step 3 - installing Magisk and gave up there. I then realized even with root there is no custom ROM such as Lineageos so I reverted to stock V350ULM Android 9 / P.
I recently found that people are cross flashing to Korean version Android 10 Q so I went ahead with it as I really don't like how things are with this LG phone on Android O and P. Lot's of annoyances. I have an iPhone SE (2020) by the way as my main phone. My phone here is a V35 factory unlocked version from U.S. I had the Android 9 P (V350ULM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0218).

Download Dev-Patched LGUP (LGUP_DualMode.zip) thanks to @tecknight
Download https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603845019
Once you extract the zip file, I installed "LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi" and then also ran "SetDev.bat" as Admin to get it working. To run it as admin, right click on it, then click "Run as administrator".
Afterwards, you just double click "LGUPD.exe". You don't have to run this one as admin. The other one (LGUPU.exe) is a more simple version that doesn't have the advanced option, so don't use that.
Power off your phone. Hold the "volume +" button (it's the one on the upper of the two) and plug in the USB cable. Your phone should almost immediately go to Download mode. You can let go of the "volume +" button now. On the LGUP, you should see the following screen. At first, select "PARTITION DL" and then "Start". Select all of the details. I tried leaving the modems but after done it was causing errors so I had to redo this step.
Once done flashing, I actually went ahead and did another flashing, this time I selected the same image and did "REFURBISH" mode to make sure it's flashed correctly. Once done, the phone rebooted and I was greeted with Korean language welcome screen, where you can change the language.
I'm a Korean so I'm comfy with Korean showing up once in a while but I prefer keeping everything in English.
After all this, I'm really liking this version. There is a default stock black theme which is really nice. You don't have to download one Theme Store or whatever that was.
The camera works fine, and there is an obnoxiously loud camera shutter sound but I'm fine with that.
Dialer will show Korean characters under the numbers along with alphabets. You can enable automatically record all calls. There are also several other areas where it'll remind you that this is a Korean OS, so if you hate seeing foreign characters here and there, it's probably not for you.
Phone calls are working fine, LTE is working fine. Not sure if VoLTE is working or not.
There is no Wifi-call. I guess in Korea wifi call is not needed as there are good cellular signals everywhere.
LG Pay is installed, but it won't work because I have a SIM from U.S. Installing Google Pay, I was able to add a credit card for NFC payment, so I think that works too.
Keeping it in Airplane mode and rebooting, you still get the nag screen about Airplane mode.
Not sure what else doesn't work.
(update in 2022/8/6. I used a Korean SIM while visiting Korea on this phone. Once I came back to U.S. tried using a U.S. SIM. Data worked fine but all phone calls would not work. Not sure if there's some issue with my SIM - ATT based Tracfone or something else.)

@cloud1250000 guide is awesome. Stock app video recording produces corrupted files (video data is there, but corrupted, need to use this https://github.com/anthwlock/untrunc to get videos back). Other than that the Korean Q works better than both Pie (which sucks on this phone) and Oreo (which works better than Pie).

So, this doesnt work on the AT&T v35s?

I was somehow able to already remove vivo.pem and a small amount of other unneccessary bloatware but I'm still not able to remove something like the V-Appstore and other bloatware because my device keeps disconnecting. Apparently I'm not the first person to run into this issue as I stumbled upon this thread on the Android StackExchange where various things are suggested such as using an USB2.0 instead of an USB3.0 port. So far none of the options that were mentioned in that thread worked for me.
After some further research I found that there is an app called LADB (which probably is known here as it is developed by a user of the forum) that provides a local ADB shell so that I don't need to connect the device to the PC but can run the neccessary remove commands straight from the phone. After getting the app installed I wanted to start but in all videos of LADB, wireless debugging mode is used for LADB which requires the developer options screen to run in split screen mode. After enabling "Force the size adjustment of activities" however, I'm still not able to launch the developer options in split screen mode. I just get the message that split screen is not supported for the settings app. Strangely the same pop-up appears for other apps as well like Instagram, etc. which should be forced to open in split screen mode after enabling the previously mentioned developer-setting.
Is there anyone else that has run into similar issues or someone who could help me solve this issue? I'm completely new to using ADB, so perhaps there's also things that I just don't know how to do properly which could lead to an issue? Any help is really appreciated!!
UPDATE:
After fiddling around a bit I was able to connect my device to the Windows CMD for Wireless Debugging. However, it seems I'm not able to uninstall packages with a regular command like this:
$ pm uninstall --user 0 com.vivo.voicewakeup
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED]

Click to collapse
On StackOverflow I found a thread where this topic was discussed as well. However, people were not on the same page whether --user 0 refers to the main android user or to root (to which we don't have access on the X80 Pro as far as I'm concerned?).

(you can't delete uid 1000 apps with such method)
With new protection vivo.uninstall.compatibility.not_adbUninstall it's become impossible to delete or disable Jovi app with ADB on my Vivo Y31 android 12.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.vivo.hiboard
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED]
After decompiling framework.jar I found interesting transaction in IPackageManager.java
TRANSACTION_setSystemAppInstallState = 134
setSystemAppInstallState(String var1, boolean var2, int var3)
Whith this i was able to delete Jovi
adb shell service call package 134 s16 com.vivo.hiboard i32 0 i32 0
out:
Result: Parcel(00000000 00000001 '........')

Having same issue with x90 pro plus, can't remove certain apps via ADB. Tried your method but it doesn't work. Can you suggest anything to remove bloatware on x90 pro plus?

I suppose that on x90 pro plus framework.jar it's different. So service package isn't 134

Unfortunately I sold my x90 pro plus because the Chinese bloatware was too annoying. If you find a way to remove all Chinese bloatware, I will buy the x90 pro plus again

How To Guide Debloat and Tweak Xiaomi Pad 5 to go like a rocket

Hello guys,
This thread is for those who don't want to unlock the device's bootloader, download any custom rom or take the risk to brick their device. I am going to use the STOCK MIUI FIRMWARE. I am not going to root the device or anything like this. Just relax and read ALL the thread.

ii. In this list there many package names. You don't have to find the all in your tablet. Some packages have the tag of optional. If you want the maximum stability of your tablet don't disable the optional packages but if you want the maximum performance of your tablet, you can safe disable them.​iii. You can completly unistall any application you want but i reccomend you just disable them.​iv. To disable a application follow these steps:​
​6. After you disable all the bloatware you want to disable you can adjust you screen pixel density to get the most out of your 11" screen.
-On Step 3 change the value from 360 to 300 (my personal favorite).​​-But now the icons of your display has became too tiny, so to fix it go to:​
​7. A last tweak is to increase the miui animation smoothness:
- Go back to ADB AppControl -> Console and at adb type: adb shell settings put system slider_animation_duration 650 ​(if you want to go back at stock value, type: adb shell settings put system slider_animation_duration 450)​
​8. Well done mate you completed all the steps. Now enjoy your new Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet.
Thank you a lot for you time. Don't forget to give me your feedback is important for me to make this thread better.
For this theard i have done a lot of work so if you think that my trying worth your money, just make a donate for more threads!

Watch out, mi.wallpaper is in the list you provided. It will lead to a black lockscreen and wallpaper and not being able to set a picture. I re-enabled it and everything is fine now.

Thank you very much for your comment. It means a lot to me and I have corrected the debloat list. How is your tablet performance?

Honestly I don't feel much of a difference. Sometimes the lock / unlock sound is the Android default one instead of the MIUI one... And my bluetooth devices list took a very long time to display but I'm not sure it was related.
It may feel snappier overall but given the tablet is already pretty fast, I think it's a kind of placebo effect.

Renable com.miui.misound and com.xiaomi.bluetooth

-On Step 3 change the value from 360 to 300 (my personal favorite).
What does this do ? Why down the pixel ?

Don't it will not hurm your device, I promise that. You don't downgrade the pixels because there are standard (it is the resolution of the screen). With changing this setting is like change change the size of the fonts in your device but you don't only make the fonts size smaller, you make icons apps etc. With that you gain a lot of space in your tablet screen.

Hi, if it is just a list of apps can you list them here on xda?
I got a Mi 12s which just updated to Miui 14
It would be helpful for my device.
Thanks in advance.

Basically it is like increasing resolution on Windows, it is a software tweak.
Apps would think you have a bigger screen so they can display more. However the physical screen size has not changed so everything displayed is shrunken. You would have to increase text size to compensate.
Some prefer such setting as it displays more "clearly". It is up to you to decide.
You can also use adb shell to do the same thing.
This app is simply a GUI of adb shell, like all Android tweaking apps.
Saves you the time to search for commands.

I assume ubl means unlock bootloader.
I suggest you write more clearly so more people understand what you mean so they can help you fix the issue.
Xiaomi has built in themes app and you can choose apply only part of the theme. I applied parts of AOSP-like themes to the system (which includes nav bar if you use it) and they work together to give an AOSP-like experiene if you do not want to take the risk of unlocking your bootloader.
As time passes the tablet gets cheaper. Xiaomi would stop updates and more people will develop third-party roms. Official roms usually are most stable for your device.

You should try changing your region in settings. Try China mainland. That is what I tried to get aosp-like themes. Search for words like material you and fiddle through those themes. They can make it seem awfully close to AOSP with lock screen and all.

I made mi pad 5 go like a rocket with a simple tweak. Disabled expandable memory and now i have 3GB free RAM instead of 1GB and everything is faster.

Yeah I see. That uses your storage so it wears out quicker and storage is also slower. Ticked off mine too.
