1. go to any empty space on your homescreen, long press the empty space, press setting, turn on google now.
2. if you dont have an option to enable google now there, install google search then try again.

why are you trying version 2.7? we are on version 3+ now. go to the play store to get it, not some sideloaded version.

must off been a bad flash or something...do not know what else to say...have you done the usual going into settings and clearing cache and data?
Google product forums are filled with this complaint. It's not a bad flash, Google Now is just not there for some users.

Google Search 2.6 works on Kitkat but first you have to uninstall the new version. The reason why it can activate Google Now as opposed to the newer versions is because it does not check the location settings.
I wonder if anyone figured how to get Google Now back so far.

I had the same issue since updated my N4 to 4.4 via official factory image.
Here's my solution but requires ROOT!
1) If you're using new GE launcher (it's integrated with Google Search app), uninstall it and choose default N4 Android 4.4 launcher.
2) Clear data and cache for currently installed Google Search app and uninstall updates, it should revert back to 3.0 version.
3) Download Google Search 2.6.7 here. Rename it to velvet.apk DO NOT INSTALL!
4) Open your favorite file manager with root option (I use Solid Explorer). Navigate to root/data/dalvik-cache and delete [email protected]@[email protected]
5) Navigate to root/system/priv-app, firstly backup velvet.apk and then delete it.
6) Copy velvet.apk file that you just downloaded and renamed to the same directory root/system/priv-app and change permission to 644.
7) Reboot device
8) Open Google Search app Google now opt-in options will appear, agree and go on.
9) Open Play Store and update Google Search to lastest 3.1 version.
10) Again navigate to root/system/priv-app and restore system original velvet.apk which you just backed up. It is important because when new OTA arrives for yoiur device it will check all root/system/ directory for any changes. OTA update will fail if it detects that user changed system files.
11) Reboot device once again
Google now should work without problem. Also now you can install new GEL, it should work with new Google now features including dedicated left panel on home screen.
I appreciate your effort, but it is not really a solution: nobody should be forced to root their device to get back some functionality, which was accessible before the upgrade.
off course not. But it's best way to fix this issue if you already rooted your device for some other purposes.
I was seeking for solution since updated to 4.4 for 2 days. Tried different methods, with and without root but nothing helped.
It seems like users should wait Google's response for this issue to get a fix.

I have the Nexus 4 and the OTA 4.4 + factory reset - same problem, also no KitKat launcher
Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !

good to know, thanks!

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

When you say, "set it to L", you ARE referring to the property value under where it says ro.build.etc.... correct?

No i did not, i just installed given apk (it updated current google now launcher), and changed build.prop
anyway, i tryed to fix premisions, and delete the google launcher from the app folder from recovery, but still rebooting continued.
and while trying to fix the build.prop from the recovery, i funked the system a bit, so a reflashed the whole rom again, so I'm back at the begining... (no new launcher, but tab works fine...)

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

When first time I installed this launcher I changed the build.prob as u said....
And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

Hey all,
I'm a regular on these forums (throughout the day every day) and like to develop my own ROMs for other devices and help out in every way I can!
I noticed a lot of threads spread out across the AFTV forum for Xposed, Gapps etc. I however feel they should all be in one place!
I will provide details/instructions for things that worked for me.
I will not have guides someone else made without their permission as well as I will provide credits where due!
* I will not cover rooting or installing a pre rooted ROM.
* I will assume if you are here you are on @rbox latest rom/recovery. You have root with SuperSU and a working Busybox.
* Thread will be cleaned and links added soon!
*I will upload files I know work 100% to either my AFH or my Drive folder.
* Eventually (when I get my keyboard/mouse) I will be creating ROMs with all of this baked in.
Xposed+Play Store
I didnt get around to pictures and a more advanced tutorial YET but willpost screens later:
1) Be on rbox latest pre rooted rom and recovery.
2) Download the following: Xposed framework, Xposed installer apk, hdx module apk, open gapps nano flashable zip, lean back playstore 5.10 & Market helper apk (market helper might not be necessary but I used it.)
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaUVhMRnc0RGxTNnc/edit
3) Have a custom launcher already such as leanback launcher or firestarter etc. as well as a root browser like es file explorer and/or root browser.
4) If mouse doesnt work then use a mouse apk such as Wukong on play store.
5) Move all downloaded files to storage of choice (internal sd card, microSD or usb storage)
6) Boot into TWRP and navigate to the Xposed framework and flash it then reboot system.
7) Once booted install the Xposed installer apk and reboot.
8) Install HDX module apk.
9) Go into Xposed installer it should say everythings installed. Go to modules and use a mouse to check the box for HDX and reboot.
10) Boot back into TWRP and navigate to and flash the open gapps zip and reboot to system.
11) Go into system/priv-app/Phonesky/ and delete the phonesky apk and reboot.
12) Using a root browser, navigate to the leanback play store we downloaded and rename to Phonesky.apk
13) Copy the apk and put it in /system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk
14) Set permissions on Phonesky.apk to rw-r-r and reboot
15) When booted back up, using a 3rd party launcher, open Play Store.
16) You might need to use a mouse again to be able to sign into google account.
17) optional step, install market helper apk and set to Google/Android TV.
Play Store should work and download apks successfully.
Note: As usual usb debugging should be on throughout the whole process and when opening stuff make sure to grant su permissions if it pops up throughout the process.
V4A with Neon
1) Download latest V4A apk and push to device.
2) Install apk and open it.
3) When it prompts, install driver (if it gives an option install highest quality.)
4) Download and extract zips at this drive folder (also download the v4a apk while youreat it) :
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaOHJOMkc3TUFsSXM/edit
5) Take all the files and place in respective folders. For example, 50viper.sh goes into /system/etc/init.d/50viper.sh
6) Each file we push needs to have permissions set to rw-r-r.
7) Reboot device.
8) Push universal init.d from the play store to your device and install it.
9) Open it and grant su. You should see the 50viper.sh file. Turn the init.d switch to on in the app and then press the start button towards top right.
10) you should see it say it was started. Now open the V4A app and select the menu button (you can use menu button on fire tv remote) and go to driver status.
It should say everything thing is enabled and supported! Keep in mind it will not show processing unless you are playing audio.
Miscellaneous APK's (Leanback Youtube, ADB Wifi, Kodi 15.2 etc. Is a work in progress...)

Thanks Elliwigy! I am going to try again with playstore when I get home. I couldn't get the playstore to show in Firestarter.

Search from this app "Root Uninstaller"

Install it
Go to Google Play, install a 3rd Party launcher and select it as your launcher.
Then, open "Root Uninstaller"
Go to "All Apps" section in the app
Select the LeEco launcher and click "Disable"
Reboot phone. You will not see the default launcher even running in the background.

But if you don't have Stock launcher you are not able to change themes from leeco store
i have booth, nova launcher beta 5.xx10 latest, set as standart and eui launcher.
this latest beta is very very good, the bugs from before allmöst away, after fingerprints open,
only sometimes nova opens 2 - 3 seconds later,
most time opens immediately.
now this is my prefered combination
earlier version
i have nova launcher and deleted eui launcher,
it works yes but during my installations off other apps and testing, suddenly system has not startet nova launcher, and there is coming a notification and then i cant do anything, i had must delete system and all then install rom new.
thats the reason why i now, dont delete eui launcher it is for emergency situation
also you can use link2sd free or pro app to delete or freeze system apps
in my case i had it before from HTC HD2 time

Then you have to copy the Browser.apk to system/app and set the right permissions. I did the same and it worked. Also the barcode reader started to work again.

And if you don't want to use the default browser, in cuoco92's rom you can freeze it in his settings dialog.
So it is still there, but you can't start it, and don't see it in the app drawer

Flashed in TWRP
Nothing shows up. Any suggestions?

If you have Magisk, use the module. The thing os that Android seems to prioritize the app that's in data as opposed to the one on system. So what you have to do for it to work is get a file manager (i recommend the new Root Browser, it's probably the least bloated out there), go to /data/app, then find youtube (maybe com.google.youtube?) and delete the folder. After that just go back one folder and return again, check that it isn't there, and then go to Play Store and deactivate auto-updates (open the app description, and open the 3 dot menu).
If you don't have magisk all that stuff will work. Just remember that if Play Store updates the app you'll lose it until you reboot

There isn't a youtube folder where you instructed me to look. I think Titanium Backup removed it on it's own.
I might just have to reinstall this ROM, install Magisk, and use the module. Ugh spent all afternoon/evening unlocking and rooting this thing. Almost there.
Appreciate the feedback

What did you do with titanium backup?? Did you uninstall the app after flashing iYTBP?
Try rebooting twice, the app might get replaced

I used Titanium to uninstall the original Youtube app that came with the phone.
I've rebooted twice. Still not showing up in either the App Drawer, or Data/APP folder.
Reinstalled the iYPTB via twrp again, rebooted, and still nothing in either locations.
I'm at a loss, almost ready to go magisk tomorrow.

You didn't have to do that... It might have uninstalled the /system/app one
One other thing. Use root browser to get to /system/app, find the youtube folder. Check the apk's thumbnail. If it is iytbp's then you almost definitely have com.google.youtube on data or auto-update on play

It's the original Youtube App. Interesting. What now LOL? Youtube isn't installed anymore. I can't go into the play store and turn off auto update or anything.

So now you don't have any youtube app on /system/app? Install Youtube via play store, then use Apps2SD or Link2SD to make it a system app (TB just can't) and then flash iYTBP again

Using Link2SD When I click. "Integrate update into system" I get an error "System Device busy or Resource busy"
Update:
Flashed iYPTB again after reinstalling YouTube, and now it's the Vanced version! Awesome! Finally got my phone to where I want it
And yes, I unchecked auto update from the play store

That's the problem.
You need to have a working youtube app before flashing the iYPTB zip on TWRP, but you should clear data and cache of this app beforehand.
PS: I also have Magisk but didn't use the module.

Might just say to heck with it and reinstall everything with magisk next weekend. Working great as is right now though
This is way late but might be helpful in the future.
I've never had luck with the Vanced installer for some reason.
Anyway, awhile back @raystef66 made an installer with the black iYTB which worked perfectly.
Besides installing new builds manually one could also swap out the builds in the installer with a newer one, white or black, I guess.

I used it, it's nice and all but the Magisk module works the same and installs the latest version. Since you use microG you may not have trouble with auto-update, but sometimes I had to reflash the zip if play updated it (Auto update is disabled and still sometimes it just decides to ignore that...)
