Unless that tablet has Gingerbread or ICS on it, it will work.

Sent from: SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27 / SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9

My current version is 4.1.1 so I suppose it will work ????

Anyway, i am little confused with this. This luncher does not update my OS to the newer version it is just an application that will allows me to install newer android apps ?

I would prefer to update my OS with the newer version. Is that possible ? Toshiba does not offer such updates. Can I use a custom firmware or a hack to update my firmware ?

Regards,

This is just a launcher - like Nova, ADW, EverythingMe, TouchWiz Home*, etc. You likely already have it installed, but you need the GoogleHome.apk installed to access and use it.

*Samsung proprietary.

If you want to put a different ROM on your tablet, I suggest you check the forum for said tablet or do some Google searching.

    WARNING! THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON MY LG OPTIMUS G RUNNING ANDROID 4.3(PA). I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR DEVICE :) THIS IS EXTRACTED FROM THE NEXUS 5 AND HENCE, EXPECT SOME ISSUES ON SOME PHONES! HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF IT WORKS :D

    UPDATE: CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING ON MIUIV5 (ANDROID 4.2) AS WELL. HOWEVER, GOOGLE SEARCH/NOW TENDS TO FORCE CLOSE.
    UPDATE 2: FROM FEEDBACK, IT DOESNT SEEM TO WORK ON 4.1 AND BELOW. SO MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IS ANDROID 4.2 :)
    UPDATE 3: SEEMS LIKE SOME PEOPLE RUNNING 4.1 ARE ABLE TO GET IT WORKING. SO IT IS WORTH GIVING A TRY EVEN IF U R ON 4.1 :)
    UPDATE 4: FOR THOSE STILL HAVING FC AND STUFFS. I HAVE ADDED A FILE TO THE OP(IT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN ONE OF MY COMMENTS). DOWNLOAD IT BELOW, UNZIP IT, COPY AND REPLACE IT IN /SYSTEM/LIB/ DIRECTORY ON UR PHONE COPY YOUR ORIGINAL .SO FILE TO SOMEWHERE IN CASE U WANNA REVERT BACK LATER(USE ROOT EXPLORER), REBOOT. :)
    UPDATE 5: GOOD NEWS!!! THOSE RUNNING JELLY BEAN. JUST UPDATE YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH FROM PLAY STORE AND ALL YOU WOULD NEED TO INSTALL FROM THE ZIP IS GOOGLEHOME.APK. THIS SHOULD NO LONGER GIVE ANY FORCE CLOSES OR ANY OTHER ISSUES. SHOULD BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL :D

    Just can't get it to work,whenever I open the launcher,it tells that google search has force closed,can't even open the launcher.
    Running 4.1.1
    Tried changing language and stuff,just doesn't work. :(

    For those still having FC problems. Unzip the attachment and try adding the .so file to ur phone's /system/lib/ . For that u would need to have rood access. Tell me how it goes :)

    Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.

    That didn't work. I can search with English UK, but if I change it back to US it still force closes.

    Edit: Change your voice to UK, then go to offline speech recognition and delete and reinstall the English (US) recognition pack. Do a search as UK, then change it to US. It works, and "ok google" will work from your homescreen.

    To fix voice search force closing, change language from English and back. :good:
