Working Google NOW(ICS) - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

This is not my work..i found it on another site
-Download the .Zip archive wich contains the needed files from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej2nryn3pilemvx/Google%20NOW%20package.zip
-Extract it to your pc
-Use Root Explorer or something similar
-Copy the three folders from extracted archive on your sd card
-Copy Velvet.apk from the "app" folder to system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
-Copy the lib files from the "lib" folder and paste them to system/lib(set the permissions to every file to rw-r--r--)
-Copy and paste usr/srec from the Google Now Package to system/usr/srec and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- for every file in every folder!
-Reboot and it should work
This it will also change the Google search bar to the Jelly Bean look

Works great... But i had to reaname the "Valvet.apk" to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
(before I renamed the already existing "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" in system/app to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.bak")

Hey there... For some reason i cant changer the permission of the folder to rw-r--r--.
Each time i change the folder's permission to that all the files in that particular folder is missing...

You don't need to rename the Valvet.apk, just rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to ...bak or remove it

Great but I have a problem: when i say listen to *songname* it starts loading to play but then it restarts and give me a option to play song? Is it possible to autoplay song?

Just installed on my Xperia Tablet S, works well but at the top left on the homescreen where you have the Google Search and Mic icons, now has two Google Search icons. Also fixed in portrait mode, grr.

I'm a month late, but I made a flashable .zip :good:
Working on my Xperia pro :good:

THIS NEEDS UP TO 4O MB ON SYSTEM/APP (among other system folders)

I tried the flashable zip but it get an installation aborted on every attempt to install it.
Could it be my recovery? I'm on ics stock kernel.

Mm...I feel manual mode is bit too much time consuming as there are too many files to set permission and afraid of missing something there!

Thanks

Can someone make a flash-able zip please? :fingers-crossed:

Works perfectly on my U

BIOS boot animation reworked

I simply modified this one with mspaint and updated it like this :
- 2010 => 2011
- 800 mhz => 1000 mhz
- Android 2.1 => Android 2.2
How to install :
You need a rooted phone.
You need Super Manager (availaible on market for free).
Using wifi/usb put bootanimation.zip where you want on the sdcard, then cut this file with Super Manager and paste it in /system/media
Reboot your phone and enjoy.
Thanks! I'll try it
It's OK, thanks!
nice thanks
Applied. This one is quite amusing

nope..
you just need to put and overwrite that .zip file in the /system/media folder.
use that app in the 1st post to do it (because you need root - and RW - privileges).
AWESOME!!!!!

Bootanimation????

How do u change the boot and the shutdown animation is there any tutorial on this??????
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty much a noob myself, but RootTools app has an option to choose a few diff boot anims. Not sure about shutdowns.
Read read and read. That's how I learned. You need to be rooted, use root explorer (an app) and just push it. Meaning of push, its cut/copy and paste.

Most all of them you flash in clockworkmod.
There is a lot of them in the bible
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991267
tru dat! you got 2 options:
- Flash in CwMRecovery
or
- Push bootanimation.zip into /system/media
Like a kernel or modem, bootanimations do not really require a flash at 100% battery or clearing of settings in CwMRecovery if you choose to flash it. Some bootanimations are not flashable and require you to push them into /system/media. Always read the OP will generally explain if it is flashable or not.
***I highly recommend you push it yourself. Its not hard at all and will allow you to be more familiar with your file system***
- just find the "bootanimation.zip" that you want
- move it to ur phone
tip* i've found i like to archive all bootanimations on my PC for future reference do so or skip this next step
- browse to /system/media/bootanimation.zip(this is your original) copy it to archive
- browse to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want and select "move"
- browse to /system/media/ and select paste
- select replace
- reboot phone and voila! now you have ur new bootanimation and you feel more comfortable moving system files around. Aren't you smart ur mom would be proud. Good luck!

check my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019858
its on shutdown animations.
for boot animations.
its the same method
but the bootanimation is just in the "system/media" folder...called "bootanimation.zip"
It can be taken from any ROM from the "system/media" folder and placed in your "system/media" folder on your phone and your done.
This will make more sense after you read my forementioned post.

did you remember to set permissions to rw-r--r-- before backing out? i usually have to do that when i change boot anims.

Not sure which one you are trying to get on your phone.. Some animations need to be flashed through recovery.

[Q] Add apps to ROM?

Hey.
Im trying to add Root Explorer to a ROM, so whenever I install that ROM, Root Explorer is installed. But Im having problems.
I tried adding Rootexplorer.apk to system/app but when I install ROM and try to run it, it force close and says something about (com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)
Then I tried to add rootexplorer.apk to data/app
Doesn't appear installed.
I really don't know how to do it and need help. I don't know if im doing something wrong...
i think when you ad any .apk too system/app you need to change the permission to rw-r--r-- and then reboot it should work!!

The problem is that im adding the .apk to a .zip file
So I can't set any permission until I install that .zip
Camera.apk and mms.apk added to system/app and they worked.
Rootexplorer.apk won't =/

Im sure I have used ROMs that come with root explorer installed.
Not sure how they did it, but there must be a way.
I download ROM.zip and trying to add rootexplorer.apk
thats it

i think when you make a ROM you need a software that can also set the permissions in the zip file i had seen it yesterday but i dont remember the name
i saw it in the development section in a ROM making guide see if you can find it all the best !!
There's no need of any such software. Whenever a rom installs,all the required permissions are set automatically by the updater-script. And well, if you are planning to release the ROM on xda, Do *not* include root explorer in it. Root explorer is a paid app and adding warez to roms is not allowed on XDA.

Galaxy S3 Lock,unlock and Screen selection Sounds

Requires Root access
Those who like the lock,unlock and screen selection sound of s3 can use this..
Download the zip file extract the files from it.
using software like root explorer copy the files from the folder in which they are saved to system/media/audio/ui replacing the old files and change their permissions to rw-r-r reboot enjoy
Or use the flashable zip and flash it using CWM...

I am rooted tried both Astro and ES Explorer. Thanks
If your rooted, in root explorer you'll see the option in top right corner to change from read only.

For ES File Explorer - Press Menu button, Settings, scroll down and tick "Mount File System" (mount /system as writable) option. Then you can edit the /system folder.
Worked perfectly! Thanks guys!!

I really like that,But can I ask was this sound got the samsung camera shutter sound?(I like that actually,and sorry for my english xD
Hi. Is there any other ways to overwrite those sounds in UI folder on my galaxy s3, unrooted phone? I don't know, something like download mode or kind of. I don't want to root my device because I have 2 years warranty period. Thanks.

I think You can do flashable zip file for beginners - no question how to set permissions, ect.
..and if You could write about backup system files before install it - if something will go wrong.
Thx a lot

Aha ... so if no present so I think only apk file is ok...
change name old apk via add ".bak" at the end of name and paste the new form zip folder, next set permission at
rw-r--r-- and restart the phone - if something goes wrong - rename the old apk via delete ".bak" at the end and delete the new apk copied from zip.
You can back to original version of TW.
