So I'm on 4.4 KitKat with the Google Experience Launcher and can't activate Google Now. I'm using PA Gapps 4.4. I can't use Titanium backup to uninstall it because I'm on ART. So I don't know what to do...
I tried changing languages but that didn't work. I tried setting a reminder so it gives me the option, but still it just crashes back to the homescreen.

Do you have the latest Google Search installed? Download it from the Play Store.
ART is still very experimental. It may cause a lot of bugs. Try switching to Dalvik. Does the problem persist?

Yes the problem persists. I had this problem on 4.3 PA GAPPS too. I switched back to dalvik to use Titanium to uninstall it and then re-install it but that still didn't work. What I usually do is, uninstall updates, activate Gnow and then install the latest version, however I cannot uninstall updates....I need to find a way to get the stock Gnow version.
If you're using the Google launcher you have the latest version, Google Now is the launcher itself. It should be enabled as long as you have the GmsCore, downloaded your offline speech recognition package, and logged into your PlayStore account.
If you are using ART, you need to make sure to use the odexed gapps package for it to be compatible.

It was working when I was using GEL on 4.3. As soon as I flashed GAPPs 4.4 and PA 4.4 I had no way of enabling it. ART or dalvik doesn't have anything to do with it.

I was out in the sticks today and I was having trouble getting my GV to update since I didn't have any service. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now it force closes after I finish setup. Did a factory reset from the menu and I still have the same issue. Even with nothing but the stock gapps installed. Anyone else encounter this?

Make sure all the Gapps are updated to the latest versions. I get FCs all the time after flash Gapps and not updating them.

How can you uninstall and then re-install GV?? it isnt available on Play store...
if you installed it again from the GApps package then the case might be due to lack of libs.
flash the latest GApps again/the GApss available along your ROM. if your ROM has Gapps add-on inside it, then reflash the ROm; data isnt lost
I'm sorry, I may have used some of the vocabulary incorrectly. Allow me to explain this a bit better. My phone is completely stock and unrooted. By update, I meant grab any new texts/voicemails I had missed while out to coverage. When I mentioned gapps, I was referring to the Google apps that come stock on the N4.

Google Voice is available on the Play store...
If if GV isn't available where you live, it's probably not on your Play store, the OP is in the US where GV is supported and available on the Play store.
Still having the same issue after updating all apps. I find it odd that it would crash after a factory reset with nothing else installed. Does the factory reset option from the menu leave any residual data behind? Is there another option that does a true full wipe?
Bump
I'm dead in the water here. I use GV exclusively and this is really hampering my work. Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. Should I attempt to flash a custom rom and go back to stock? Are there any partitions that could be holding any previous settings that could be screwing things up?

What do you mean your screen is "blank/empty/black"? At the first boot after flashing Gapps, you should be greeted with a Setup Wizard to restore your Google stuff. Gapps is supposed to install Play Store, Gmail, Gtalk, and some others, I forget. Sounds like you did a bad flash. Make sure the zips aren't corrupted, and do a clean flash. Also, be sure to flash the ROM then Gapps.

after the setup wizard i got a black screen, then i pressed the home button and everything was fine. so i guess that black screen was just nova launcher.
anyway i found out how to remove nova launcher, using titanium backup. but yea i though gapps would install more things than it did. it installed the playstore, google sync, gmail and like 1 or 2 other things. no google maps or anything so i'm not sure what i'm missing from the default google apps selections.

My understanding is some apps aren't included for legal reasons. You can find maps in the playstore as well as wallet and a few others.

welcome to the whatsapp hell,
someone getting this error and solved it?
Steps I've done until now
1. reinstalled whatsapp from backup
2. uninstalled completely and try to reinstall from play store
3. clear cache of play services, play store, whatsapp
but nothing works. btw I can install any other app from playstore. Maybe an art issue again? Someone updated wa and is on dalvik runtime and can confirm this thought?
thx

I have the almost the same issue. There's two ROMs in my phone, KitKat stock and CM11 snapshot 9. In KK the app was updated as usual, but in CM i got the invalid package error. Then tragedy strikes by my own hand: i made a backup from KK using Titanium Backup, rebooted to CM, UNISTALLED WhatsApp and tried to restore the backup. Nope, same error. Now I have CM and no WA.
Does anyone have the version prior to 2.238.11? please?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the issue. This version doesn't works with ART. Switching CM to Dalvik allowed me to install the app and restoring everything using TiBkp.
i have the same problem. I tried to delete also Whatsapp and replace it with the new from the website, but it isn't installing the package.
I am on CM11 with ART
So iv'e updated the Google app today to 4.6.10.19.arm.
All the sudden Google keep force closing, My google now launcher was a wreck. I coudn't do anything.
I tried wiping cache did not help.
I barely managed to install nova launcher via twrp recovery.
Im using xposed ALPHA for 5.1 and xposed GEL setting.
Stupid update.
I recommend you to avoid this update, i think ill switch to nova permanently.

The only fix is changing location to "DEVICE ONLY". If it still happens after that clear all data associated with "GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES"
Also is "google play services" that's the issue, not "google search"
works fine here, on the latest chroma.
This post needs to be made in the thread for whatever ROM/Xposed/Kernel configuration you're using.

Is it safe to flash GAPPS (arm64 - 7.0 - stock) on Stock Rooted Galaxy S8 via TWRP?
yes it is safe
yes it is possible i have renovate ice rom 7.1 with gapps arm64 stock and it works flawless. as my intention it replaces all the samsung stock apps with google and you get the fully pixel launcher, you may want to delete some stock system apps that stay on the phone with system app uninstaller (root) if you wanna know more you can contact me.

Nice, which one did you install?
I think i used open-gapps, the one with the aroma installer that lets you select stuff. I wouldn't say "flawless" but it does work. Even if you only select some apps it sets things up for all of them and so your logs get spammed for days about missing receivers and broadcast crap. I should try again but with nano gapps or something
I used the usual .zip gapps and everything works fine as it should but only the dailer app doesn't work with me. It says it needs phine permission but I can't give it because the app doesn't ask. And I can't give it that permission in the settings, but the rest no problems I uninstalled all Samsung stock apps and replaced them with gapps.

Stock dialer works fine, you just grant the permissions it needs from settings.
