So I use google search quite a lot and would love to able to use the app on my Gear. I know you can use Svoice but that's never as good as google search.
I'm running Tizen. Just wondering if anyone knows how to get google search running on it... Would be appreciated as have searched a fair bit.

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?

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.

Second this, is not the same nice voice I had on my one x. Is there a way to change or download a different module?

Supposedly, should go to settings - controls - language and input - text-to-speech (TTS) options - Samsung TTS engine and press configure cog. Then install voice data and download high quality voice female, but it doesn't do anything (in my case just a popup window that says it will download and nothing else happens). Can you please check this on your device also? It might be a software bug

You have to have Samsung apps enabled.
At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro
I did that too and mine downloaded but still Samsung voice. On Google map it used to be more human voice .

Edit: make sure you open the Samsung app store first. Than it will work. ..

Still have not been able to find a way to get the google voice back on google map
I managed to download the HD voice but this is not what i had on my note 2 on google map. note 2 users probably know what i mean. it was google voice on google navigation but now it is samsung system voice.

Yup, same here. I want the Google voice, not the HD samsung voice.
I have this problem on my Huawei P6, and from doing reseach I believe it's the TTS. If you look at under language and input, there is no Google-Text-To-Speach engine, but instead just the Samsung one.
I still couldn't find a way to download (or where to download the app for that matter) the Google TTS engine.
I hope some can figure this out, because that Samsung voice is really annoying. The funny thing is, Google Now have the correct voice/sound.

in the text to speech menu under advanced samsung has HD voice downloads and they all sound really good. and there free
I took a peek on the link provided as far as a work around for this issue/annoyance, and seems like a lot of work.
Anyway, I've found an easier solution. You have to be rooted and have Titanium backup. Not sure if it will for everyone, but it sure works on my phone.
All I did was freeze the Samsung TTS engine, and like a miracle my Google maps now sounds wonderful (it use the Google voice/speech) now.
Let me know if this works for you guys.
I'm happy now.

If you do this then when using navigation it will not say the name of the streets. It will only say turn right in 1000 feet.

Saying the street names is basic functionality. The omission is inexcusable.

This ^^^ /Agreed. That's probably why it's called voice guidance

Google's map navigation function is pretty better than apple's. It shouldn't be lead you to lost at a different location.
Sorry if this has been asked or answered before. I've googled and searched XDA with no luck. I may just not know the terms to use.
I'm wondering if there's any way to start apps or shortcuts on the phone from the watch? Has anyone been able to do this?

i haven't found a way, but do you mind sharing with us what are you trying to achieve?
I'd like to be able to trigger tasker tasks that control music around the house, trigger playlists, use Google voice search on the phone from the watch etc. I also have lots of contextual triggers set up on my phone that would be interesting to respond to on the watch.

Are you using tasker? You can start phone tasker tasks (which I guess can simply be apps as well) from the watch that way?

You need the plugin Autoremote (full version, not the lite) There's a thread on how to use it. Search for Autoremote.
Hey, I was interested in buying the galaxy gear. Only problem is, I own a note 2 with cyanogenmod11-20131123. Anyway, I googled and found out that I can in fact use the watch with the null rom.
I did find out that I can install apps from the play store. But before I went along and bought it, I wanted to know if anyone had any personal experience with cm11 and the watch. Specifically with the functionality of the hangouts (SMS), whatsapp and the phone app. Any warning I should know about before I buy it?
You'd be best to read the threads here. Null makes no difference to stock in regards to compatibility with non touchwiz roms.
You can however get a fair bit to work with some workarounds

I ran it from the play store with no issues. One thing I have is from my wifes Xiaomi phone, there is an app called Google Installer, it allows you to install all the google related framworks as apps. You could try that. Apk is attached. Don't know i it will work. Its designed to install Google services on phones that do not have it preinstalled. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works.
