Hey guys I'm going to keep this clean and simple.
What you will need:
--The .apk from here (APKMirror ftw!)
--The .zip file I've attached to this post (the .so files are extracted from the .apk file) It is not flashable!!!!
--The latest Marshmallow preview installed
--Root
Steps:
1) Download the .apk and the zip files
2) With your favorite Root Browser, browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/
3) Delete the current Velvet.apk and replace it with the new one make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
4) Then browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/lib/arm/, delete all the .so files there, then place the ones you downloaded and extracted from the zip here again, make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
5) Reboot
6) Profit!
Notes: This does set the app drawer back to horizontal scrolling, and Voice search works, along with the hotword detection (everywhere)! If you guys want screenshots/proof of hotword detection working I can upload screenshots later. But please be sure to explicitly tell me.
Thanks!
First? Lol.
Hey thanks, it worked! No more FC when searching!

Good to know it's working Thanks!
So the permissions for -rw-r-r would be 640? Is that correct? Thanks

The function(s) of the app are not any different. The Google Search 5.2 update changed most aesthetics of the app. Screenshots can be found in a compilation here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/01/google-app-updated-to-version-5-2-33-with-new-logo-icon-color-galore-and-slightly-revamped-google-now-ui-apk-download/ (thanks to AP!). So the hotword detection isn't any different functionally, but it looks different.

Woah you're right... The lockscreen works perfectly but when the phone is on there's a problem. I know its a problem with the "draw over Apps" setting in M because 5.1 had an option there and 5.2 doesn't... Dang it Google! On the good side you can still do calculations and send messages because it reads the "solutions"...

There's no need to install it. Simply copy everything then reboot. It will install automatically after a reboot if you did everything correctly.

Finished writing up the Screenshot application this evening. You must have root to use this application:
If you want to know how I did it, just read from /dev/graphics/fb0
Screenshot application:

Choose how long to wait before taking a screenshot:
Once the screenshot is taken, you will get a toast on the bottom of your screen.
You can view the screenshot and save it to your SD card (from the menu):
Download it off the Market!
Koush said:
Before we had root, it was impossible to write a screenshot application because when trying to use the ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER permission, you would get denied. However, now that we have it, it obviously works.
The application needs to be compiled in the Android build environment to access some of the internal classes. I started with a modified version of monkey at first (similar to how I made the screen autorotate work). I'm working on stripping out the junk now.

You rock....Keep it up!
You know you can take screenshots with ddms (included in the sdk), right? I think it works even on a stock phone (although I'm not positive).
Granted, you have to have the phone plugged into your computer to take a screenshot with ddms, where your app would be able to take one anytime. So your approach would still be useful

Yeah, thats actually how I figured out how to take screenshots: I dug through the DDMS code till I ended up at the SurfaceFlinger IPC Server.
But as you said, it is not ideal.
Awww. I was expecting to see a preview inside a preview inside a preview.. etc.

Hahha, that's actually what I had screenshotted at first, but then then I realized it looked really confusing.

Well done koush.

You should download Superuser off this forum. It will ask for permission whenever su is used, and also won't break applications that use su.

Sure. The C portion with the interesting bits is attached. It's pretty messy. I never bothered to clean it up after I got it working (lot of trial and error).
I've gotta optimize the pixel format conversion loop sometime. It's unnecessarily slow right now.

You have root, and no password protection on your su right? I would recommend installing Modified RC 30 v1.2 and Superuser.
Can you verify that the following file exists:
/system/bin/screenshot
Also, try running it. That is the native executable I wrote that scrapes the screen and writes screenshot.raw.
install instructions
1. using sdx-app-remover: uninstall Vending.apk or com.android.vendingt(depending onrom)
2. using root-explorer goto data/app and delete com.android.vending
3. using root explorer again goto data/data and delete the folder with the same name as the apk in data/app (thanks decelax for reminding me)
4. wipe cache & dalvik
5. reboot into recovery and flash this http://www.multiupload.com/DNB521IQ6N
Thanks to danarcist (spelling?). We worked on this one together and finally got it release worthy. this is not a port. we built this from scratch together.

Ya, i'm actually still using the black and white version 2.2.6 that I extracted from your theme.....it works great, it just doesn't like this one for some reason.
I even tried putting the apk into system.app directly after deleting old version, rebooted and said it could not install......who knows.....
I went through and uninstalled the vending.apk (I actually had two of them, one was Vending.apk and the other was vending.apk). Went into data/app and didn't see a com.android.market anything...tried to flash the zip in recovery and no market at all now...

The one in data/app is com.android.something I don't remember. By looking at it you should be able to tel its the market. It also ends in a 1 do look for something like com.android.xxxxx-1.apk.

one part you should maybe add to the OP is (also do post above), if your market version auto updated, you might need to do this:
After you delete the com.android.vending.apk (or similar name..) in your data/app folder, you should also go in to your data/data folder and delete the folder with the same name as the apk.

ahh. DO NOT delete the market updater folder or apk.
I think that's all you need deleted before you flash. But let mystery confirm it.
I might also double check that the "V" in your existing Vending.apk is capitalized. I've heard of that causing problems if it's lowercase.
Hi,
I'm French, and i bought my phone in England (i lived there for few month)
I have a Barclays Bank Account, and i want to use their App on my phone BUT Google Play answer "This Item Can Not Be Installed On Your Device Country"
I know i can use Market Unlocker, but i don't want to ROOT my phone
Can someone who have a Google UK Phone give me the .APK from Google Play ?
You can use the app "App Backup & Restore" to do it !
Thanks a lot :good:
The App Link >>> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.barclays.android.barclaysmobilebanking&hl=en
I have a uk google play apk.
Edit: if archers zip does not work, try my apk
Installation procedure is in archers post.
I installed it but it's a zip not an apk. I've found it to be hit & miss as to whether you can side-install zips. Some work, some don't. Copy it into /data/apps - might need a reboot.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4838274/com.barclays.android.barclaysmobilebanking-1.zip

It doesn't show up in that app, probably because it's a zip not an apk.
Looks like you're stuck with rooting and using Market Enabler. Any reason you don't want to do that? You could unroot immediately after.
Because i just need the .apk and that so easy to have it with application
So if you can give me the .APK it will be okay and i will not need to root / unroot my phone

It isn't an apk, so it doesn't matter what app I use. I did try the app, just so I can say "yes, I tried it", despite knowing it would not work. Even renaming the zip to an apk file doesn't work, which is another hit-and-miss method to get zip files to install.
If you really don't want to root your phone then you may need to forget about having this app.
Stupid question: Can't you just change the exstension to .apk? Wouldn't that work?

All that application does is copy the apk file from /data/apps or /system/apps. If there is no apk file then it won't work. I've come across a few apps that when installed from google play are installed as zip files, but you can't install them on any other device. Rooting or forgetting about it are your two options.
There might well be a second problem anyway. Even if you do, somehow, manage to get the .apk file in original format and install it on your device, you may well find that Barclays block your access based on location. If that is the case then rooting would be your only option anyway.
I don't understand - you've been a member on this site for 4 years, this is the first time you have felt the need to post anything and you are too scared to root your phone! Why are you on a phone developers site?

Hi,
A bit old but...: http://phandroid.com/2015/12/02/galaxy-note-5-s6-edge-plus-update/
Another key change Samsung seems to have made is the reintroduction of optical character recognition — the Smart Select feature’s ability to read text — on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. We’re not sure why the feature was taken out in the first place, but folks are sure to be glad it’s back.

On my N920C I was on the same boat on stock firmware but I found a workaround, I extracted the SmartClipService.apk (it's the Smart Select option) from an updated rom and it works! I choose Smart Select, I choose a texte then share to the clipboard in full text only or share to Snote and you can edit the text.
For those who want see in attachment for the apk, replace the existing one in /system/app/SmartClipService, set the correct permission (rw-r--r--) and if you are on an odexed rom delete the arm64 folder, reboot in recovery, wipe Dalvik-Cache and you should be good to go.
Maybe make a Nandroid backup before replacing the file, I'm not responsible if something goes wrong...

Hi,
If it's about my post then yes you need root.
The nice thing I noted is that when you click on the "T" after the smart select you can directly copy / paste the text or only a part of the text, like in the first screenshot at the bottom part. I mean I can choose only the word "connexion" for example and copy / paste it without the use of the share option.
It's a shame that the last update for my N920C doesn't have this update... and it's needed to do the thing with the apk from another firmware...
Maybe it's better explained like this :
yes, i'm also on 920c and i really miss this feature...but i'm not allowed to root my phone. Hope they will add it in the next 920c firmware

Hi,
Yes it works, but you must have root... Otherwise you will need to wait for an "official" firmware update for your model, maybe the feature will comee back.

hi guys,
first of all, i am rooted. and i have googled for so many solutions to completely remove "Software Update" from the settings
NOTE: I have disabled to get updates automatically before this pops up. it came after a few days. :S
i have tried:
- removing otacerts.zip
- removing the fota agent apk
- disabling software update via package disabler
yet i still see this nag window?
any solution from you guys would be great!
appreciate it
right now im considering to re-wipe it and then before it receives an OTA, i will delete the otacerts as well as remove the fota agent first.
here is a screenshot:

Did you disable com.samsung.sdm ? That should stop that.

hello! thanks for the response.
may i know where can i find this com.samsung.sdm?
under priv-app or app in /system/ ?
thanks
as from what i see inside both folders, they just have file names. no longer showing com.android.xxx or com.samsung.xx
unlike other android OEMS.

Use Package disabler that you were using earlier. It's in there as System Update com.samsung.sdm

this is pretty weird.
though i have disabled the FOTA update.
just a little annoying to see a nag window there. :silly:

Yes i do not.
Although i have removed FotaAgent.apk from priv-app
Mine is the N9208 duos
Could this be a variant problem?

Everything is possible really.. What you should do is download a terminal emulator from the Play Store and find out what the processes name is that way you can disable it yourself while in the terminal.

It's one way to learn how to use your phone's system better. Nothing beats knowing Linux/Unix language! It's also fun to learn about but only if you actually want to!
Have you deleted the actual downloaded update file from /cache? (I believe that's where it's located)
