[Q] Installing GoogleTTS.apk - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I want to replace the Samsung TTS engine with the Google TTS, just to see if it helps with the TW accessibility service issue. Can I install the GoogleTTS.apk normally or does it have to be installed to /system?
Thanks!

Using the Play Store without Google Apps in /system/app

I've noticed that in order for the Play Store to work (and other Google Apps as well I think), I need to have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk installed in /system/app. My question is: Is there a way to get Play Store (and other Gapps) to work without having the mentioned APKs installed /system/app? Is there a way to have them function from /data/app?
Sorry chief no luck on that one. Without the framework to support it and verify your account to Google play it won't work.

Yeah, I figured I would absolutely need the framework and login, but wondering if there's anyway they can be placed somewhere else other than /system

Samsung TTS High Quality voices - could somebody with S4 download and share them, plz

Got few
APK and voices here (need to register to download)
APK is tailored to work on any Android ICS and above, not needed for SGS4 obviously.

It could, but unlikely (IMO).
Voices are relatively big, there no need to pollute /system partition.
And it's mounted R/O usually.
Anyone got them yet?
GraceHD goes to /system/tts/lang_SVOXP, see the screenshot

GraceHD is the only preinstalled HQ voice - not downloaded, it was in the ROM already.

It's unlikely that the data for system apps (such as Sansung TTS HD voices) will land into an unprotected folder, such as /sdcard/.SMT
But, we will see, if somebody with S4 phone in the hands will help us to get the HD voice data

Not able to download. Error 404 for version 3.

As it seems that you know about it :
I installed XXUAME2-slim rom and I can not have the text-to-speech in HD...
Do you know which apk works with it?

Congrats! :victory:
I thought the awesome voice my Asus TF700T had was just a result of the JB operating system, then I got my S4 and hated how the navigation voice sounds. I wish I knew what Asus used, because the S4's voice is terrible. I also had that Grace from SVOX on my other Droid and the trial sounded great, then I bought it and the voice was entirely different and also sounded like garbage.
Why doesn't it just use the GoogleNow voice? That's what navigation sounds like on my TF700T.
EDIT: Looks like it may have the Google one after all now that I checked in the settings...
Yep, there it is. Derp.

1. Between these two opinions, where are we supposed to place these TTS files? and how?
2. Do I need to install SamsungTTS_0.0.3 & SamsungVoices, If I have to use EkaterinaHD voice?
Am new to this, don't have much idea how to install these TTS files. I've downloaded them, and they're in downloads folder on Nexus.

On my Nexus S, I can't find /sdcard/.SMT, there is no folder as such. But am able to locate system/tts through Root explorer. So, I'll go with that folder structure.
I checked on that original site for instructions, found them, but since they're in Russian and Google Translate doesn't do very good job, it gets very difficult to understand it. I also found from that site, that EkaterinaHD is a Russian voice, something I don't need. I need English US HD quality voices only. Can you personal message(as not possible to post here publicly) me the installation instructions in English language along with suggestion of which voice is best for English US in HD.
Thank you.

"It won't install"?
You have to push the SecLauncher3.apk to /system/priv-app, e.g.with root explorer.
People that don't know what they are doing should not mess with there's phones, then open countless threads on here asking for others to put right their mistakes.

If you install S5 launcher by apk you can uninstall simply by settings.If you replace file in System folder put the original touchwiz in it.

The Team Wings fonts vanish once you change themes via the Samsung Themes app and there is no way to bring them back short of reinstalling the whole thing. Are there any solutions that persist across changing themes?

Installed Google font, rebooted but not finding anywhere, nor in font library in settings.
Can you clarify on how to apply, please??

Seems to be working for me. I downloaded the app and restarted. Opened the display options and under fonts I looked for GoogleSans. Applied the don't and it worked. I also have the wings font pack installed as well. Don't know if that has anything to do with why it worked for me.
Before you can see the new fonts, you will need to enable overlay layers for the APK, either through ADB or Substratum, if you are using the app.
The full instructions are on this thread: I don't use substratum, so I installed them using option 2.
I didn't do anything either... No substratum or adb method. Just installed, rebooted and the fonts are listed.
Thanks for uploading the fonts.

No no, just install the font. Nothing further required. Just a reboot.
Hate Andromeda & substratum,seems to always kill speed for the phone.

Did so and nothing, only the 4 default fonts showing. Do you need to have the default theme active so it works?
Works for me.
I want to use the font in the link. But I can't use it. Please help me with this
