So I got myself a Nexus 7 and want to extract the Google Text-To-Speech engine and put it on my Nexus 4 because I no longer have it on my phone after rooting and flashing the kernel and rom. I suspect I was supposed to save it before attempting the flash. So does anyone know how to do this?
BTW, I do have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 (stock), a MyTouch 4G (stock), and a Galaxy Note II if the Nexus 7 isn't enough. And the Nexus 7 is still stock, untouched as I just bought it today.
PS: I know there are other TTS engines out there, but I just want the google one as I prefer it.
EDIT: Found downloadables. My search was flawed as I searched for "google text-to-speech, android text-to-speech, google tts, google tts nexus 4", etc. when I should've simply searched for "gapps" as "gapps tts" doesn't work either.

So I had my Nexus 4 about 2+ months now (bought straight from Google) and just a few days ago I decided to root and install custom kernel and rom. Installed the Illusion ROM 2.0 and the Air Kernel. I also installed Slim Gapps (Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.6.x.zip) to get my Google apps because they are not included in the Illusion ROM. Everything is great except for the navigation voice. I used to have a woman's voice who said words clearly and sounded almost humanlike...or something close to it when speaking directions. Now I have this computer-generated woman voice which sounds crappy compared to what I had before.
How do I get the original voice back? I noticed in my text-to-speech settings that I have something called PicoTTS. Am I missing something like google related? Please help me find her
anyone?
Anyone? I did a proper search but couldn't find a concrete answer. Please help.
You should install the full google apps,or use Ivona text to speech from play store
Still want the original

Yeah I know Ivona exists. It's just that I was satisfied with the original voice provided with the Nexus 4. In fact, I really liked it I never thought that was an addon before flashing to a custom rom.
So you're saying that the Gapps provided by slim roms is not a full version?? If so, can you please provide a link where I can download the full google apps? I know the store doesn't have it cause I tried to search for it. Otherwise if any Nexus 4 owner is using the stock rom and included voice, can they somehow extract it and post a download link? It would be greatly appreciated.
If the above options aren't possible, then say I were to flash the stock rom again, would I get back the lost original voice? And then can someone give me instructions on how to extract the voice so I can install in a custom rom? This would be helpful too.

Hi.. I am looking to install google now launcher on my AT&T Galaxy S5.. I was just wondering will there any issues with using the launcher and Google Now.. I am big fan of them both. Also when Google updates either of these, will i be able to update in Play Store?? I am asking this because I am side loading the launcher. Response is appreciated.
I tried to but can't, maybe change to Nexus 5 in build.prop.
For now you will have to side load any update to that app until Google makes it available for non nexus devices. As you probably already know sideloading works perfectly fine
I prefer an older version of the Google Maps app. In order to prevent an update, I've gone into the Play store and set for no automatic updates. And yet Maps keeps presenting me with the latest version when I open the app. It happens daily. I'm running android 4.4.2 on a Galaxy s5 G900a. It's rooted and running the Dynamic Kat ROM. Baseband is g900aucu1ance. This has got me scratching my head--my other apps don't seem to be self-updating. I've posted this in the Dynamic Kat thread, but I just can't see that flashing DK could have caused this, since no other apps are doing it.
I used to prefer the old maps too..but now use google maps and another one called My maps..also a google app..basically its the spin off of the maps feature of all your maps you have made online.. Its actually nice once you get the hang of it..but that was the main reason for me to stick with older versions..but now..b
No need..
I'm trying Nokia Here. This Google maps auto update thing is really making me angry.

hi, i used to have ivona working with my S4 but i restored it a while ago and now i cant seem to get to change the tts engine to ivona. i thought this might be an s4 issue but i cant seem to do it on my nvidia shield either. used to have the welsh voice for google navigation but now stuck with the standard google voice..
any help would be appreciated
I noticed the Intonation setting on my friend's Google Pixel in Google TTS Engine.
I came across this article on Android police which mentions that Google TTS 3.10 adds the feature "Intonation" which makes the voice more expressive:

I have the latest version of Google TTS (3.10.10) on my Galaxy S5 (LineageOS 14). I also have the Google Assistant on my phone thanks to an APK I downloaded and flashed here. Works great, BTW.
Is there a way to enable the Intonation setting? It makes quite a difference!
I couldn't find anything about this on XDA or online.
