WIP For the New Thread (ignore)lol

I really like the cards and I want G-Now to give me updates

So I played around with it, and here is what I got.

Here are some commands that will bring up those cards


Now cards will update automatically based on your location, and search.
"Now Cards" are the ones that show at all times when you open Google Now, like the ones shown in the picture above.(blue)

Using Google Chrome at home? Sign in with your Gmail and things you have search on your computer will update on the Google Now Cards, COOL RIGHT!

Calendar workaround

This has to be done on a computer, settings will not give you the mobile setup if your try to do it on your phone

1- You need to setup your Phone as a registered device on Google calendar. Go to www.google.com/calendar
2- Go to Calendar Settings. Click the Mobile Setup tab
3- Enter your number and click Send Verification code.
4- Your phone will get a SMS with verification code,
5- Enter it in the verification code field, click Finish Setup and Save. (if everything went right, you will receive another message saying "your device has been verified"
6- Now create a new contact, called Calendar, and make the primary number 48368 (which is GVENT). That's it! You're done!
7- Now you can send a text by voice, for example "Text Calendar Haircut at 9pm friday". The event will be created on your calendar (you will receive a confirmation text that the event was added to the calendar successfully)

Here is a video I made on my HTC EVO LTE Android 4.0.3 ICS, that shows some commands in action and displays a couple of cards. Also, proves that Google Now does work with voice and has talk back.

Enjoy!

Google Search Widget


Fist off I take no credit for the making of this app, u1aryz is the creator and I thank him very much for this app.

This application is to customize your Google search widget to any color you want. I use it to match my themes. I used to use it to link my mic to jonny_g app but I kept it because I liked the customization of it, so maybe you will like it too.

Here are some pictures of widgets I made for fun. The logo, mic and frame can be changed to any color you desire. Have FUN!


You can find this app on the Play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.u1aryz.products.icssearchwidget
