The new velvet apk is awesome but I can't get Google home to work. I've tried every step and possible workaround there is but still get force close.

I've not got it to work yet either, I get a error about some placeholder for google search not found lol.

Google camera works tho, I got a pm about it and checked it out, no purple 1080p video with it.

 

[Swainsmith82]

Did you install the Google_recognizer lib from xda? I did but it still didn't allow Google home to work. Still getting Google search can't be found as well.

I'm definitely going to try these apps now .

Download the new Hangouts, the Google Launcher, and Nexus 5 goodies!

Here's the link, but I followed all steps and could get everything working, but the launcher. If y'all figure it out please let me know.

Yea I read about the same from droid life, tho I got the apks straight from google (stock images for N5)

Supposedly to get the launcher to work you need the GoogleHome.apk, Velvet.apk, and PrebuiltGmsCore.apk.

 

[Swainsmith82]

Yeah I installed all of them and still no go.

yea, I'm getting fc's on google search now.

 

[Swainsmith82]

Same. The actual Google now app works for me but still not the launcher.

 

[Swainsmith82]

I placed both the launcher and velvet into the system, placed the lib in the system only thing I didn't replace yet in the system is the pre-built. I don't even know if it's all necessary but installing them like a regular app didn't work so I'm trying everything.

Im also on the l9, i've tried all the apps and they have worked fine here, except it is not picking up when you say the " OK Google" on home screen and Clock FC's.

You need to replace or add this if you dont have it in System/lib.

libgoogle_recognizer_ini_I.zip (File Only, not Zip)

xda-developers - View Single Post - [App][APK] 4.4 apps Hangouts, google launcher, camera and more!

 

[Swainsmith82]

I did replace it but still nothing. And it's actually libgoogle_recognizer_ini_I.so not zip

 

[Phubu]

i know its not the zip, sorry i didnt mention that. weird its working fine with me, did you install everything like regualr apk's? cuz i moved them myself into system/app than rebooted.

 

[Swainsmith82]

Im going to try that here on a few. The only one I didn't place in the system was pre-built gms core.

 

[Swainsmith82]

Did you replace the gms core already in the system or just add the pre-built?

 

[Phubu]

i replaced everything, dont forget to back up just in case something goes wrong

Are you on stock or custom? I haven't unlocked my BL yet so no recovery.
