These are the current instructions for the Google Now app:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "Velvet-Thes0o-5.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
OR
1.) Flash the .zip down below through recovery -- AOSP ONLY
Voice Instructions:
1.) Download the "Voice Search for Google Now!" app from the Play Store (link is below in downloads)
2.) Either open up the app, hold down search or tap on the dedicated widget that comes with the app to launch the voice search
3.) The app will use ICS's voice-to-text engine to get your answer, and then enter it into the Google Now v5 app from before. All you have to do is hit enter and then congrats, you've got working voice search!
4.) Check back at Jonny_G's thread for the latest information and updates.

Where can I download the latest lollipop dialer apk?
Just download a stock lollipop ROM and pull the apk out of it.
I must ask, why do you need the LL dialer for your Nexus 7?
I was hoping it might help link my Contacts to my Skype calls to enable:
1. In my contacts list I will have the icon option for a Skype call.
2. In Skype I will be able to see the contact name not just the number.
This is the LOLLIPOP version of my debloater.

New EXTRA debloater online
I've made an "EXTRA" debloater in addition to the safe one with all suggestions so far
See this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/extra-stock-lp-debloater-d802-t3110347
Hello, I have used this debloater, and unselected "QuicksetSDK" and "QRemote" but for some reason, QRemote isnt there anymore, how can I get it back? I can't find where to get the .apk for it.
Really great, much appreciated.

I have this issue as well.

I'll look it up on monday ... no time this weekend , sorry

Can one of you test to dirty flash the rom you use again , reboot , boot to recovery again and then use the debloater but don't select LGNFC , QUICKSETSDK and QREMOTE !
That should do the trick.
Greetings, Kuoi

Nice Zip Kuoi, I can confirm that your trick works.
Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are still in my ROM after applying your Script.
Can anybody confirm? Would it be possible to add these apps to your ZIP?

Go to my EXTRA debloater thread ... i've added Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor
Link to Extra debloater in OP
BTW : I've learned a lot today ,because when i was trying to remove the google services (play movies,games,music) the folders where deleted but i had still the apps on my phone.
I've installed an apk info app , and so i could figure out that these apps also use an other folder on the data partition ... so now it's fixed.
All recommendations are still welcome
Kuoi,
GREAT WORK! I can confirm that it is working. Here my observations:
- after I ran the ZIP the Google Apps (Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music) where still there but now it was possible to uninstall them within Lollipop.
- SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are deleted as expected by executing the ZIP
- in your App your comment about SIM Toolkit is that you do not recommend to delete it. Why? I have deleted SIM-Toolkit and the LG G2 runs normally
- maybe you can add Youtube to the list?
- maybe you can add Music to the list - assuming that there are plenty of free music apps in Google Play
- in the safe LP debloater you can delete Mail - isn't that one of the basic apps that should remain in the OS?
- maybe it would be easier for you as developer and for users to put the safe and the extra debloater together into one ZIP. There you could maintain two categories (save and extra).
Regards,
Gregor

Thanks for the info.
Did you use D802 and stock LP rom to remove Google apps ? On my device they were deleted after the debloat and i didn't have to uninstall them afterwarts.
I'll delete the sim toolkit coomment because it's only with some sim's and in some countries it seems to give a little problem.
Youtube and music will be added soon
I'll keep mail on the debloater because i don't use Gmail ... it's not a necessary app to keep your phone working.
You're right .. i didn't think about it ,but I'll put the 2 versions together in 1 zip.
I could put them on 1 flash zip , but according to me the list would be too long and imo the extra is more for people who know what they're doing and what they're removing
Thanks for the reply
Hi Kuoi,
yes, D802 with stock LP but I got it as a ZIP (Software version V20b-OPEN-COM) to be installed through TWRP - so maybe it is not 100% original.
Regarding Mail I was referring to "LGEmail : LG email client". I understand that Gmail ist no a neccessary app.
Of course it is ok to have 2 ZIPs. But IMHO there are also some sophisticated apps in the safe ZIP, f. e.
- Facelock: I would not know of any app that can be engaged into setting
- LgNfc: it is required for the NFC hardware
- LGBrowser: ok you can use any other browser
But maybe I am mistaken since I am not too experienced with Android. So in the end your ZIPs are great so safe a lot of storage :good:
Regards,
Gregor
