[Q] CM9 and Google Play? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just installed CM9 onto my captivate, but I do not have a Google Play app. I've searched this forum, but I'm still unclear about the best way to download apps with google play if its not there?? I feel stupid because this seems like a pretty basic task.
This forum is amazing though. I've learned a lot already. :good:

[Q] Google Apps

Hey guys,
I'm new to the whole android scene so bear with me.
About 2 days ago i installed CM7 on my SGS and all went fine except Google apps.
I Flashed Google apps and got mail and android market but i didn't get Maps or Youtube app.
Any suggestion as to why this happened?
Thanks
Bobby
If you have the market working then YouTube and maps can be found there. I'm not too familiar with cm7 but they should still be available from the market.
Good luck.

[Q] KFHD App.

Hello. I was wondering if one of you could put your huge brains to work on making an apk run on KFHD7. The app is for a local news station in Portland, Oregon.
GooglePlay link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rcHR2LmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
It just doesn't work on the KFHD7 yet. Or at least I'm not able to download it from the market. I've tried to find it online, but the links all take me to the market or the 1 or 2 apk's I find don't run. I hope that this app just needs a few tweaks. But I am part noob, so what do I know.
There's no way that I would expect someone to do this. If it's a pain in the rear, then I would forget about it. If the process can be explained easily, then maybe someone could tell me how to do it. If not then, oh well.
Many thanks for even taking the time to read this.
If you have it installed on another android device, go to your Data/app folder and get the .apk yourself.

I tried that too. It didn't work. That's why I figured it would need some tweaks to get it to work on Kindle. It's pretty cool app for what it is.

[Q] Help with voice search in Jelly Bean

I am looking for some help with Voice Dialer for my Galaxy Mini. I have installed the custom rom "[28/01/2013][ROM][CM 10.1][V 5] TouchWiz 5" by A_U. Prior to this I was running the official CM7 for the Galaxy mini. The problem I have is that I can no longer voice dial with my Blue Ant S4, because Voice Search doesn't appear to be functional. I can see that it is installed, and the play store also says that it is installed along with Google Search. Google Search is definitely installed but I can't find any way to utilize Voice Search or Voice Dialer. I have also done extensive searching, via google as well as in the forums here and have not found a way to uninstall and re-install Voice Search. I figure that since it is integrated into the Rom that uninstalling could be problematic, but I am not savvy enough to know for sure. I also know that Voice Dialer from earlier versions of Android has been replaced with Google Now which also doesn't appear to be working on my device. Can anyone help me out with this? Is it possible that I have a bad install?
Just learn to search/read!

Well that wasn't very helpful. As I said in my OP, I searched extensively and couldn't find an answer to this issue, nor did anything seem related. There are so many vaiations of these Roms for so many different devices that narrowing the problem down for a novice user like me is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. After searching for an answer for a couple of days straight, I figured posting a question in the SGM forum might be the best way to get any sort of help. It is responses like the one above that drive people away from forums like this.

Thank you arjunraina7 -
Does this mean that any sort of offline voice recognition isn't supported? What I would like to find out is if there is any way that I am going to be able to use my BT device to make completely hands free calls as I could in CM 7. The Google Voice Dialer app was the app that made this possible in CM 7, but I can't find that app in the app store, and from the research I have done, it seems that Google has pulled that app and rolled it's capability into Google Now, which also doesn't seem to be functioning on my device.
Bottom line is, in Jelly Bean, which app does voice dialing. will it do that offline, is it possible that it may be incorporated into future versions of the rom, and if not, do you have any suggestions for good apps that can accomplish the same. Thanks in advance.
Try and see if there's voice search name in titanium backup then uninstall it. (it might be com.android.voice.search or something similar)
then proceed to install it from Google Playstore like a normal application.

So far, the ICS based voice search is armv7 only. we have armv6

[Q] ROM that supports copy/paste in all apps

Can anyone recommend a ROM that supports copy/paste in ALL apps? Since my phone is almost 3 years old, a ROM that has good performance would be a plus.
Thanks!!!
if you search google play, 'cut and paste' you will find several apps that do that. no need for rom flash.

Thanks anyway.

There is Tiny apps, that you can find on the play store in two flavours: paid and free. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite).
It is a collection of 5 floating small apps: note keeper, drawing app, calculator, voice recorder and music player, that can be opened on top of other running app to have them handy when you are doing something and need to quickly do something else.
You can activate every single tiny app by means of a widget.
I've bought the paid version and used the app for some week before deciding that they were not so much essential to me.
I think they work well and do what they are supposed to do, even though Qslides are probably more refined, from a graphical point of view.
I used them on a 10.1 CM. In the play store there is nothing written about the compatibility with CM 10.2, so if you want to try them out, you'd better start with the "light" unpaid version, first.
