[Q] How do I update GNOW on ICS? - Motorola Droid Bionic

I've been reading about all the new features of GNOW and how you simply go to the Play Store and update. But we can't do that with a Bionic because its not a supported device. I searched the web and all I see is old posts of the original GNOW installs. Does anyone know where to get the latest version of Google Search?
Thank
Jake

unless someone updates the hacked version you cannot update it. wait for the bionic to get JB. sorry

you could try finding the apk (Velvet.apk) online and sideloading it, or pushing it directly to /system/app
but if it's not hacked it may not work (as squito pointed out).

[Q] Market thinks my Hero is not compatible with apps

I installed CM 7.0.3 last Friday, I'm beginning to see more and more apps that say "installed" (from earlier) but trying to re-push them to my phone they now grey out my HTC Hero on Sprint saying the device isn't compatible.
I have the feeling this is an issue of the market assuming my HTC is stock and the newest builds of the apps are not compatible. Is there a way to indicate I'm using Android 2.3.3 so I can have Google Maps back?
I was able to get my Google Music beta as a .apk from someone and it installed fine manually and works great but was another just as above that wouldn't work through the market.
Hey I am having the same problem with the market not recognizing my hero. I am actually just looking for the google music beta app, =P so if you had a link I would appreciate that vmuch.

There is a copy of the music.apk but I believe you need to have the invite from Google Music Beta first before it will work. I had mine, loaded on PC went to my phone and was as I described above. Got the file from someone and loaded logged in and it works perfectly.
Thank you, I will try the links above
I would say that yes, that is affecting me, but I can't be the only one with a handset that wasn't designed to be running Gingerbread but is obviously compatible.
With all of the ROM community support of aging devices seems there must be a work around for this that is going to start to become a larger problem.
Making sure I make backups of my apps from now on seperately from my CWM recovery backups.
To get Google Music from the market, you have to edit your build.prop file. The instructions are in another thread. A simple search will find it.

change your buid.prop to say device is a "DROIDX", & youll have access to even more apps, & the google music app is in the cdma hero section for download, use the search
just cnanging the banner to droid x wont do it the apps that arnt available for are made for hdpi devices and tablets so when u try and instsall them itll say parse error
In your build.prop located in /system change your ro.opengles.version value from 65536 to 131072. So your end product looks like this: ro.opengles.version=131072
Can you edit that file with an app, or do you need to use adb? I tried using es file explorer but no dice, it's probably in use by the system eh?
Edit: forgot to enable root permissions for it...derp.

Will the flashable.zip work on the nexus one with cm7? Really interested in this.

Thanks! a lot
This should work with any hdpi resolution device including the nexus one. I know it works on cm7 that is what I use.
The full all apps flashable needs to be updated though. Should be able to do that today sometime.
Just installed the Google+ and Google Reader apps and they look really great, thanks!
Do you have a twitter or something where you push notifications of updates? Or should we just keep regularly checking the website?

I will be getting something for that here soon. But right now just checking my site or the original post from the top link (I always post when new versions are available).
Ok I got a twitter and rss going now that will tell you about updates
Twitter
RSS
The RSS will always update first it is what is feeding the twitter.
When I make any changes to apps or my site I will be posting updates here.
Terrific, subscribed
I flashed the latest all apps zip and it appears that the only app that flashed correctly was the music app. I tried to download the Google + app off your website, but it came up as a map file. I also tried extracting the zip and installing the apk and changing permissions. And through all this all I could get was the music app to take. All of this is on CM7 Nexus S 4G.
Edit: nevermind I went back to the original thread and saw that the original apps need to be removed first.

I have no clue what you did because there is no music app in this. The files will download as apk now. you can also just rename the .man files to .apk.
Yeah that is odd. Don't know why the music widget changed. I just ended up extracting the zip with root explorer and installed them one by one. These look great. Following you on twitter to see what you do next. Keep up the great work.

Looks nice! Downloading them all
i cant get any of the flashables to take. every .zip (talk, market and the whole set) says it installed, but nothing changes. not sure why. NexusS4g. i can install the ones that you've got there as apk only but the two system apps dont work.
For the system ones you will need an app like root explorer and copy them into the system/app folder and change the permissions then reboot. Make sure you delete the old ones first. If you are not familiar with the permissions it should look like this.

Thank you for the effort. The inverted translate has a small issue. In the top left corner there appears to be some writing that sits on top of itself. It says translate twice and you can barely read it. Has this been reported?

Need help modding GNOW for offline voice dictation

so maybe im the only person who wants this but i´d REALLy like offline voice dictation on my phone.
there is an ics mod that lets you download the offline voice libraries but the you cant update to the newer versions through the playstore.
lenny_kano has explained what needs doing
For those on low end devices who don't get voice download options on JB ROMs, you need to patch out the filterPreference method in the smali for downloading language packs to always return 0. Use the latest apk as obviously none of the fixes for ICS are needed if you're running JB. Can't remember name of the smali file but grep is your friend I'm sure it has download language and pack in the name.
Edit: And yes, if you update apk from market you will need to do mod again of course. Also note none of this talk of latest apk has anything to do with ICS, so dont ask about it, i was just referring to JB users using the market version of google now.
