[Q] Google Goggles on Froyobread

Hi there!
Does Google Goggles work on Froyobread? I used to use it on Floyo 0.30 and it worked just fine, but I've installed it again (with Froyobread now) and it's frozen on the analyzing screen... Froyobread doesn't support it?
Thanks in advance!

I am using froyobread v22 and google map 5.8 works ok. only thing is to turn on wifi or 3g data after every reboot.
I suppose it is a small bug.

It happens to me when there is no internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi or data.

Both wi-fi and data traffic are on, but it still doesn't change a single thing: it's freezing at the analyzing screen... my froyobread version is 20

1st ensure you can surf internet.
If can surf, then try installing latest FB v23b and try again.
Remove the cache of map and street view may help.

V023b here. Same here. Goggles freeze at analyzing screen. It has worked in the past on previous FB v.

If you download google goggles from the market it should work perfect.My x8 Google maps works with wifi/data offline

Why are you talking about maps? I used goggles from the market on FB and it crashed. Anyway I now use GingerDX. It works on this rom.

On GingerCruz rev7 i dont have problems with apps.

I didn't have time yet to make a backup and upgrade the rom, but it seems like the problem is happening with 023 too... is there a way to let doixanh know this? Should we send him a PM?
I'm thankful for every help you've given, really, thanks!

No pm. He won't answer anyway. Use GINGERDX.

Did you try fullwipe before upgrading to v023b?
I only support Xperia Active Launcher from v022 to v023. All other codes are unchanged, so there should be no problem using other apps.

Yes I do full wipe anytime I flash an update or a new rom. Not sure with wich version of FroyoBread Goggles has stoped working as I don't use it so much. Anyway I use GDX now. Wonderfull rom and Goggles works fine on it. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

working partially in FB 023b
Hi,
I'm using Froyobread 023b and google goggles does work but partially.
For instance, if I take pictures of text or QR codes it does work.
But, if I take a picture of an image (artwork or logos) it will freeze in analyzing.
IMO, the picture quality is playing us, since our phone does not support autofocus.
Could anyone confirm artwork detection in previous versions of FB?
thank you!!

Just formatted my SD Card, did a full wipe and installed FroyoBread v023b, and then Full Wiped again, and Google Goggles isn't working yet, I can't even use the text detection like mimorqleko does.
Since I won't update to GingerDX yet, is there any fix for this?
Thanks!

Google now?

Has anyone installed google now on their d4?

Eclipse ICS 1.2.2, ported by myfishbear, has fully functioning Google Now, with voice input/output included. Just update to the 217 ICS leak and flash eclipse and then flash the google now zip and you're in business

I went with Deodexed/Debloated ROM, and installed the Google Now ZIP from the Eclipse ICS thread. Works great.
(had issues with eclipse)

I assume you install it through CWM? How is the battery life after installing? Also, do we now whether it is the same version as in this thread or older http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856?

Yes, it's a ZIP you install through recovery. I'm using SafeStrap (essentially CWM). If you aren't using SafeStrap, I do recommend you take a look at it. It's a nice safe way to test ROMs and other things that might be considered dangerous.
I can't really say anything about battery life yet. I've only been playing with this ROM for a couple days. You know how it goes with installing apps, indexing, caching, syncing.. things need a little time to calm down. However, I can't really imagine any of the ROMs being worse on battery.
And Google Now needs time to learn. I've read that Google Now uses the settings for Home and Work locations from the Navigation app, so I set up my work and home locations in there, and it's notifying me with traffic at the appropriate times.
It's probably the same version. 36megs sounds about right. myfishbear has kept everything very current in his Eclipse thread.
Just for reference, I'm on ICS leak 217.

If you want a ton of extra features, than eclipse is the way to go!

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I tried 3 different revisions of Eclipse (including 1.2.1 and 1.2.2). Every time I installed it, I had only 4 of the 5 icons show up at the bottom of the launcher. My corporate email security settings (requires PIN) wouldn't work, and if there are any customization options (like UI settings in other ROMs, or even launcher settings), I couldn't find them.
I've installed numerous roms on other devices, so I really can't imagine what I did wrong.
Boot to SafeStrap.
Make sure SAFE system is enabled.
Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
Install ROM ZIP.
Install GoogleNow ZIP.
Win! (well, win for everyone else...)
I tried Infektion ROM as well. The only issue I had there was the same issue with my corporate email security settings. And the screen rotation bug from CM9.
I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, re-installing, re-re-installing.
My unsafe system is ICS leak 217, no mods. Works great.
My safe system is Deodexed/Debloated ICS 217 plus GoogleNow. Works great.

Hmm, you should go to the eclipse thread and ask myfishbear if he can help you

My post-count is less than 10. So I'm not allowed to post in the dev thread. Also, it sounds like Eclipse works for everyone else. My fail brings me great shame.

Is it possible to have Android ROM of MS or yahoo apps?

I have tried more than 30+ ROM's so far. However I always wonder if it is possible to have a ROM without any google apps in it? Just to try, I installed CM7.2 from Cyanogenmod website and didnot flash the google apps patch. Instead I used EMail exchange app and configure new outlook address which fetch all my hotmail/outlook emails, calendar and contacts to the phone. I configure the F-Droid Repository the repo is very very small and has very limited apps. However with this option I was able to run a CM7.2 without any google apps. However I have always faced poor battery with CM7.2 as compared to the stock based ROM's. Has anyone tried something like this with Yahoo? I managed to install Whatsapp apk from their website but lot's of apps are not available on F-Droid repo.
Last option to the market is to install only google play and by going into settings accounts and sync disable google contacts,picasa,calendar sync. You can install Skydrive and Lync for corporate chat. However bing search app was not possible to install on ACE in india.
However I would really love to see a ROM that actually runs with either microsoft or yahoo apps (search, calendar, contacts, email) and without any google apps.

You can delete google apps yourself.
Download ROM.zip
Go to /system/app
Delete any undesired app.
You can also add your own apps so you don't have to add them everytime you flash it. Although im not sure about last part.
Or simply install ROM and with root explorer delete them.

What is the location of apps that gets installed on SDCard?
Also there are tones of ROM's getting released with same Cyanogenmod with different themes, kernels and added scripts. I 'd rather prefer to see a ROM which goes out of the way and removes google and keeps yahoo or microsoft! Also a there could be a ROM that is not CM based but has been build up from android sources!

Also, why would you want Microsoft apps. Android is owned by Google, and without Google Apps, it defeats the object of having an Android device. Android is designed around the Google ecosystem.
We could have AOSP, but it has lots of bugs, so it's easier to use CM.

[Q] AOKP and CM clarifying questions

Hey, guys. I'm relatively new to the custom ROM scene, I've been using MavROM for a bit, and it was pretty sweet. But recently it's started crashing in some larger applications (plants vs zombies for example. but that's neither here nor there).
I suppose first I should clarify that I have a Verizon Droid 3 XT862 with Hashcode's Safestrap 3.10 installed. (which is really cool!)
I did some googling, and many suggest that I give AOKP a try. I downloaded KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, and KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. But here's the thing that confuses me, I've tried all three of them, and they all seem to run fine, but they all seem exactly the same. I was under the impression that these custom ROMs contain no added bloat or unnecessary apps, but all three come with an NFL app, and Blockbuster app, and a few others I can't seem to remove. And in the case of KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, does the JB in the filename mean that it's meant for JellyBean compatible phones, or will it upgrade my phone to JellyBean? My phone still says it's running android version 2.3.4, and looks exactly the same as the stock GB OS it came with out of the box. So what's so JellyBean about it?
Am I missing something? Also, what's the difference between the versions I've tried? They all seem exactly the same in terms of cosmetics and functionality, but at the same time aren't bringing anything to the table that my old stock ROM didn't do.

Sounds like ur still booting into stock rom. You have to change rom slots in safestrap.

You're right! Thanks! That didn't occur to me, I had initially tried installing it using safestrap 2.10, but I guess I needed 3.05.
Another question, I now have AOKP installed in my second slot, and it boots fine. But I'm not able to access the play store, and I only see options to setup my Mail and Exchange accounts, but neither of them will let me hit Next to progress to the next step after inputting my password. I'd like to add my Google, Facebook, and Exchange accounts to get all my contacts back, but those don't appear to be options. I chose the Nova Launcher if that makes any difference. Was there a separate app package I was supposed to install with AOKP? I read that the CM series requires a separate package. Is AOKP like that?

Is 3.10 a typo? I could be wrong but i think that the latest is 3.05, Hopefully you havent installed an apocolypse progger.

[Q] What am I supposed to have with a fresh install of CM9 nightly w/4-29-12 Gapps?

I installed the latest nightly from last night (CM9 12-12-12), the Gapps package from 4-29-12, and the Gapps fixer. I have things like Play store, GTalk, and Voice Dialer, bot no GMail, Maps, Youtube, etc. Am I supposed to have those too? I keep searching and it's not easy to find a list that I know specifically pertains to the TouchPad's CM9 implementation.

You have to get them from the market

But download what, exactly? I'm only thinking of those off the top of my head but I know that there are a lot more. The problem is, I need a list if I'm going to do that as a work-around and so that's partially what I'm asking for (that or help getting the Gapps package to install completely). The Gapps fix does nothing no matter what I wipe or what order I flash.
I checked with my brother and he did not download those from the market/Play store on his touchpad. Neither did I, and I was the one who put Goo manager on it. I'm trying to set this up for a coworker with all the apps as if it were the first time ever turned on and I don't want my account loaded on it.
I already knew I could download individual apps from the market. Thanks for your help though.

Those apps aren't included in the ics gapps. If you open up the zip file and look in the /system/app folder you'll see what apks are included in the gapps package.

i have cm9 (latest nightlys) and cm10 (latest nightlys) .. IIRC they both are 1212 builds..
for cm9 i had to install 0429 gapps..
for cm10 i used the JB gapps but i dont exactly remr the build date or name..
good probabilities that it was 4.1
im pretty sure that both roms require separate installs of gapps..because no gapps are built in

I dont get what you are looking for. If you have the Play store and were able to sign into your account then you have everything the Gapps offer. Gapps are mainly Google services that let you sign into your Gmail account, sync your Gmail account, Use the Play store, etc. There are some apps within the Gapps file which are system apps but like others have said, everything else you mentioned is in the play store. Gapps don't include those apps.
