By posting in the correct thread. Moved to Q and A
I got init.d support and put a couple scripts one for swap and it works. Rooted ics 6.273 no overclock though we still need the module compiled for this kernel
Do you have a download I can flash?

I will work on it tonight i didnt use a flashable zip.
Thanks. I appreciate your time. If all I need to do is drop some files in place, then thats fine also. Whatever is easiest for you.

Has anyone got Google now working on their SGH-i957 running the stock ICS rom? I have it on my phone, a motorola Droid 4 via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
which explains how to put google now on your ics device. I found NOTHING in the thread even remotely close to mentioning our device, most likely because we are such a small niche. I am too nervous to try flashing without knowing ahead of time if it will work. Curious if anyone has tried or knows how to get Google now on the device since I believe it was already determined we will never see JellyBean right?
Install or reinstall Google search. Now is part of it. Get it on the play store.

You are correct in your statement that Google Now is part of google search, however that feature is only available if you are running 4.1 or higher (i.e. JellyBean).
My question has to do with hacking it to get it to work on the the sgh-i957 running 4.0(Ice cream Sandwich)

You're probably right. I have 4.1.2 running on my i957 so wasn't thinking of ics. I'll have to restore to ics and see if I can get it to work.

Yep, it doesn't work on ics. You should install a custom rom. Nrvates cm10 works well.

Well i know it doesn't work via a stock ICS rom, but I am trying to see if someone has gotten it working using the hack in the link I provided, or if someone knows if this is an arm6 or arm7 processor or neither.
I don't want to go the custom ROM route. Did that before with nrvates CM10 rom and the power died and i couldn't chsrge it. Had to mail it back to Sammy for repair. Now i have it running stock, rooted, ICS and I love it... But i want google now

You can check the cpu version on settings, about tablet. I don't have mine with me or I'd check it, Pretty sure it's a 7.
It's sounds like I had the same problem with nrvate's as you. That's interesting, I thought it was just a fluke. I too repaired thru Sammy.
If I find some time tonight I might play around with this. I too like the stock ics and now I'm even more concerned with nrvate's.

I see one initial problem. The rom needs to be dodexed. The stock rom won't be. You'll have to be running a custom ics.

Did you flash the zip? I think I'll try the apk first. Can't screw up anything too bad with that. Then I might try the zip if that doesn't work. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

It works. I downloaded the offline zip for the arm 7. In recovery, cleared cache and dalvic. Flashed the zip.
Edit: it sort of works. Try it and see if it's good enough.
Edit: the online version works best, offline, not so good

Sweet! Sort of... Lol
Can you be specific about what's not working in each the offline and online versions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk HD
I won't mess with the off line. It really doesn't work well. The only issue I've had with the online is it doesn't always close. To close out I've had to press on the show more cards, which I know doesn't make sense but it does close it. Other than that it works well and does everything it does in cm10.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
By not closing, do you mean you swipe it away and it comes right back?
Thats a common problem with this hack. Known issue.
I run the offline version daily and other than that issue i dont really have any problems so i was just curious what your specific issues were...
I guess i'll play it safe and go with the online version
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, so I tried this out and thought i would answer my own question in case someone else was interested.
As far i can tell, THE OFFLINE VERSION DOESN'T WORK AT ALL
It is not a small bug, or quirky, it simply doesn't work. Don't even waste your time.
So far, no problems on the online version that I can see
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk HD
This is just a flashable stock unrooted ROM for anyone wanting a copy to flash via CWM as opposed to fastboot. It was literally the JDQ39 system image dumped into the dsixda kitchen and thrown straight back out with NO changes whatsoever - it's not even deodexed! Useful if you need to use an app which can still detect root even after using a root-hider app (e.g. to watch Sky Go in the UK)
It is the 100% untouched, unmolested system image
Enjoy...

If you flash this, will you get OTA updates even when on a custom recovery?

Far as I know, OTA is dependent on the recovery. So you would still need stock recovery to pull the OTA.
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken. I came from an HTC monstrosity, and we all know how easy those are to modify.

Thanks for this really! I ended up pushing root after installing, it was a must
I went unrooted first and forgot TB wouldn't work. Kinda feels good to be on stock, nothing like regular N4 :thumbup: thanks again!

Hmm. Though we would get "Failed" upon an ota via s3 I remember regardless of recovery it would indeed update as well as patch recovery. But I'm not saying this is the case on nexus devices as this indeed is my first.

Hey swirly ..as you approach a possible flash coming from this flash able stock zip would you mind posting any positive results if any with your performance and battery? I have heard and at times on other devices found at times this does improve somewhat by the partitions being reset or to those lines etc. Thank you.

You didn't keep a stock from first flash?. I always do. Good ole flashback unroot then delete twrp (depending if really needed as s3 wasn't) then protect root with root keeper then unroot take ota then load saved root. If this doesn't work on nexus 4 I'd love to know but worked on RAZR rezound and s3..if not I'll report in a created thread via next update. My reason is I like having that true first stock backup. Good for fresh installs of custom when reverting first. IMO lol

Just a quick question. If you flash this and then flash stock recovery, can you basically unroot by doing that? It'll be much easier (at least in my opinion) of you could just flash the rom to unroot and go back to pure stock
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Well the truth is that if you have cwm 6+ the OTA installs with no problem and if you are root, it keeps it too! Just for your information the OTA needs system ,bootloader, radio, boot.img unmodified.
TBH I made this to help people too lazy to flash the stock factory image from Google. I'd always recommend the factory image personally
Gapps requirement
Is gapps required after flashing the ROM?
Hurray!
That's cool. Haven't really needed it o this phone yet tho. The e4gt on the other hand, mobile Odin was practically a must and saved so much time.

I hear you. It was critical on the E4GT but don't really see the need on our phone. Cool that it still supports it though.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium HD app
If you are already rooted, yes. I know this makes no sense. If you are no root originally, no. Mop needs root to work. Flash a non rooted tar and use the root feature, then at least with my e4gt, it would do it. Mop won't work stock. I haven't had the need yet to use it on the s4. If I did, I'd probably try flashing stock MDL, inject root, and install oudhs recovery all in one shot. Theoretically it should work.

Do you know where I can find stock MDL? When the OTA dwnlded to my phone I was so paranoid about losing and not being able to regain root that I avoided installing, and even uninstalled SamPushService at one point. Of course, since then a work a round's been developed, but now I can't access the dwnld even though it's indicated to be there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Angie.
EDIT:Found it, about 2 threads down. Duh!

Ah yes, I have many a memory of flashing the EL29 kernel/recovery with Mobile Odin in order to flash a rom. It was so irritating having to re-flash recovery every time I wanted to flash a rom on that phone.

This is for 4.2.2 based ROMs, do not flash it on 4.1.2 or it might not work. Also don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup beforehand.
On the second or third page, he put a link for a 4.1.2 version.
