I'm an idiot.

I'm glad I didn't read the whole thing before installing. I didn't read the AOSP part and my Sense rom wouldn't boot.

Conclusion?
I'm an idiot and this doesn't work on Sense:silly:

Thank you for posting this!

I'll give this a try when I ever change to an AOSP rom :laugh:

    Amazing

    I'm literally amazed at how many people don't follow simple, specific directions on here........
    There is a learning curve here, I admit, but nothing that can't be overcome by simply reading the whole thread and following directions. If you don't read ahead to find out how people have stumbled & what to look for, you're just asking for trouble & headaches. Possibly even a handicapped device. <rant over>

    I tried to search the thread for anybody else having this problem but it couldn't find it.

    Basically, i got the app installed but it won't let me speak. Every time i try to use the voice search part of it, it immediately says that it didn't catch that and i should retry, without even giving me a chance to speak to it.

    Is anybody else having this problem?

    My original voice search works however.

    This pretty much sums it up:

    You know what, telling someone to read the thread isn't helpful, especially as threads get to be more than 10-15 pages.

    i just did read it all no problems. 10-15 pages ? get a grip mate, there are threads of 200-500 pages and still sometimes it's best to read them ALL.

    juniors shouldn't be neither too lazy nor too verbose, imho. learn to read, understand and experiment at your own risk. otherwise, forget about xda for good.

    that's my point. and i'm a junior, too, mind you.
