Has anyone managed to get okay google working with nova launcher?
What do you mean? If you're asking about the search bar on the home screen and saying "okay Google" then probably not. That's only on the Google Experience launcher. Unless maybe there is an always listening widget avaliable. Nova launcher does not have this built in.

So, just to be clear. You're asking if someone has modded the Nova launcher apk and built in the always listening Google search toolbar?
Here is a thread about that here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523251
Here is another interesting page and some good links about this subject -
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...launcher-that-supports-google-now-integration
Anyway, hope that helps. I didn't realize that it was that integrated. Looks like it would be more likely that Google would enable gestures and all the Nova stuff before they would free up the Google experience stuff.

Google Ears is supposed to be a jelly bean feature, yet i dont see the widget available on my nexus 10? Anyone else have the same problem? or am i missing something here?
The widget is not called Google Ears, it's called Sound Search.
I am aware of that but still don't have it

You can add it as a widget on the lock screen.

Do you have Google music installed? I think you need that to get Sound Search.

Yes i have it installed
What's your region, and are you on stock ROM?
I'm in the US, and I have the Sound Search widget on both Stock and a custom AOSP ROM, and can add it to either lockscreen or homescreen.
If you're rooted install titanium backup. If you go into apps, you need to unfreeze it.
I am from the UK and i havent got a custom rom yet. havent got round to rooting.
I have modified Google Ears for unsupported countries..
thread of it is in Galaxy Nexus themes and apps section!
I would like to remove the google search bar; I haven't found a solution as freezing/removing Google Search also removes voice search, and I'd like to keep it. Any help, please?
Install a custom launcher from the play store; apex adw etc. You can't unless your rooted with a custom rom or deodexed

Nova launcher is highly recommended. I honestly doubt you'll go back.
I'd like to stay on stock launcher...

Then you'll be keeping the search bar I'm afraid.
Having fooled around with a friend's Moto X, I must say the "Okay Google Now" functionality is really cool. These Note 3s obviously have the hardware necessary to implement it, but Samsung went with the half-assed "hi galaxy" thing instead. Now that root has been achieved! I am hoping there is some way to replace the stock function with the one from the moto x. Anybody know how, other than the Open Mic+ app, which seems to not function the same, as it is a major battery hog.
Yes this x10000000000
I've been looking for an app or something that changes, the function of Hi, galaxy. Even If I said "Hi, galaxy" and it triggered Google Now

Correct. With wanam I have mine set to double click the home button for Google search instead of s voice . Works flawlessly
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I bet you could set up tasker to automatically kill S-voice and open Google Now.
That way you just say "Hi Galaxy" and you'll get straight to Google now.
I think this is probably very doable

btw if you guys are ONLY looking for the double click to google now functionality, try home2 shortcut, doesn't require root either, I use it and I put it on my customers phones (who won't root obv)
For the moment my workaround is to say "Hi Galaxy, Open Google Search". Then "Google, who is the president of the United States?", or whatever your Google Now need is.
But hopefully we can get something that works a little more flawlessly.
I would also like to show my interest in this! Changing the hot word would be amazing, but "Hi Galaxy" opening up into Google Now listening mode would be enough for me!
Edit: I have not had time to set up tasker.. Has anyone used the "when voice opens, close it, and open Google Now" work around? How was the experience?

I feel like it would be way too slow, but I have tasker, I'll try to set it up later today.
I have this working with the Tasker workaround, and while it takes about 3 seconds to start listening, I love the results! Heads up though, If I enabled the wake up command option on S-Voice, Voice Search would have trouble opening the mic. Make sure to turn this option off. FYI this is the one that allows hot word detection while in the S-Voice app, not the always listening option.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I would LOVE this functionality, S-voice STINKS! - its super slow, the voice sucks, and the results stink too.
What it DOES to very well is wake up from sleep.
I would love to see if we can get some Devs involved to make "hi galaxy" open up google now search, or even change the keyword
to "ok Google" just like the the Moto x.
Would you guys be interested in starting a bounty for this functionality?
Im willing to throw a few bucks in the pot.

i would for sure.
I'm not sure, but if you install the new Kit Kat 4.4 Google Launcher, you can use Ok Google and it works pretty well.
Just a couple of things though. It only works when you are on your launcher screen and as of now, you need to be rooted (you need to replace a system file that is listed on page 3, the libgoogle_recognizer)
Just check out the thread on Installing the new google launcher.

I have tried the Kitkat Launcher. after being a hardcore pure AOSP android guy for almost 4 years
I ended up right back with touchwiz launcher. I actually like it MUCH better. The Kitkat launcher is
just too plain and lacks basic functionality like limits on icons in folders.. seriously?
Stock touchwiz launcher with "Hi Galaxy" to wake up from sleep directly and instantly go to Google voice search is the way
to go.

The pulsing notifications is actually probably doable as well, if someone built it off the "wave your hand over the phone" notifications. lol

I believe Moto is devoting a processor to the pulsing screen notifications. I doubt that's replicable on our phones.

FYI this broke my touchless control. "Ok Google Now" hot word will wake up touchless control, but it wont recognize any text.
"Ok Google" hot word from launcher works though.
No worries, cause I imagine going to apps and uninstalling the GEL Launcher app will fix it.

Looks like it was a good thing it would not let me install it, i had a feeling something like this would happen.
It also made my nav bar solid black, if yours wasn't already from the camera update.
GSM Dev Edition here.
Touch less controls work fine for me after downloading and installing the Google search update from Android police. The launcher too.
Got mine from droid life no issues other than go I can't do landscape on the homescreen or app drawer.

That's a restriction from the actual launcher, so not a bug.
Look in themes. I posted this days ago.

Has anyone found a launcher mod to make it 4x5 (4 wide x 5 high) for touchwiz? I found a couple that claim to work but I can only find 4 high x 5 wide.

Does anyone have any information on HOW to mod the launcher? If I was pointed in the right direction I'd be willing to take a crack at it. Can't really find anything online about it.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that makes you guys like TouchWiz launcher over apex or Nova?

Just the nice look, feel and simplicity. Apex is the closest to that but it doesn't play nice the widgets I like.
Status update...I was able to make the change and recompile the apk but when I try replacing the file it just removes the launcher from my system and I can't use it. And when I try just installing the apk it fails. My guess is that it's some kind of signing issue but this is my first time trying to mod so I'm not sure.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Agreed. I do like that most of the widgets work with TW. Especially the stock weather widget. When I use Nova I don't get all the options with in.
After countless trial & error and help getting the correct compile procedure from @tdunham here's what I made:

Good deal.
Plus anyone looking for some decent guides, keep an eye on the Unified Development thread. I've already post around 8 or 9 of them there. Probably going to consolidate all of them into one to make it easier eventually.
