Only because I feel I have exhausted every option do I ask for someones help,I have done all I can think to do.
My Google Now (version 2.7) all of a sudden started FC.I asked for advice in a thread and I was advised to use System App Remover to remove Google Now and reboot,I did and now I am having issues getting anything but an inverted 2.6 Google Now using Team Blackout Updater to install.I have asked around and was told to look for system/app/velvet.apk and remove it but,even that doesn't work.I feel like there is a folder that has been deleted somehow?When I go through the steps to sign in to Google Now and when I get to "Yes,I am in" part it goes to load my cards and FC.
Please,any help appreciated.
Would I have to Odin back to stock to get my apparently missing Google Now files?
Running Hyperdrive RLS9 currently but,I have tried going to TW Eclipse,GE Eclipse,another GE ROM,BonesStock and nothing works to help me fix my issue.
Thanks.

Not sure I can answer it all... but here is the steps...
1. Using any file explorer remove(delete) Velvet.apk and/or QuickSearchBox.apk If for some reason you have both you will get FC's.
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Wipe Cache and then Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot
5. Flash Inverted or One from Market
6. Test...
7. If still bad, repeat Steps 1-4
8. Using File Explorer go into Data/Data and search for any refreance to quicksearchbox (woudl be a folder) delete.. You might find referances under data/app-asec or data/app-private depending on version of Android running.
9. Repeat steps 1-5
Try flashing someone else's GNow.. I have one here...

I'll give it a try today.
Gunthermic,can you tell me what folder I need to set permissions to and what permissions exactly?When I try to delete googlequicksearchbox.apk from system/apps it says operation failed.
Nevermind,I got it deleted with Root Explorer.

Cool... yea use root explorer to delete...
I forgot,this is where I run into another problem that stops me from going forward.
After deleting quicksearchbox.apk,wiping and re-installing using Play store,failing,then going to look for velevet.apk or quicksearchbox.apk again in system/app neither are there! Even though I installed it through Play,there are no references to quicksearchbox or velvet.apk at all anymore in system/app.Only the Google Search widget and I know that isn't it.I did manage to find the folder and deleted it in data/data and that was the only reference found in a search.
Any ideas how to move forward from here?

If you install from Play Store, there will not be a apk named Velvet.apk or QuickSearchBox.apk.. that is a name commonly used by Dev(ROM's/Themers). You apk would be located in data/com.google.android.quicksearchbox-1.apk would be the name... if this is the case.. go to my link and flash mine. It takes care of removeing it and placing Velevet.apk on your system...
try that.
Ugh,lol
This is so stupid!
I went ahead and installed your full inverted zip,tried to get in the app,FC again,managed to find the velvet.apk this time,deleted,searched for and found quucksearchbox folder and deleted again.Rebooted into recovery,wiped,rebooted,rebooted back into recovery flashed your full inverted zip,rebooted,opened the app,clicked Yes,I'm in and FC!

Don't ask me how but,I have a inverted 2.7 working right now,lol.
I have no clue how it happened either,I installed a 2.6 apk,got it to load,rebooted my phone for a different reason and the Play store updated Google Now to 2.7,but it's inverted!
How?
Did you ever have a chance to look at that logcat?
I'm still having problems!

i havent been around here for a long time. i just upgraded to workshed's gingerbread, and metamorphed darkhorse over it. i wanted to be extra fancy, so i went and tried to give myself a blueish market. the link in the darkhorse thread was broken, so i grabbed the blue market i had been using. i followed the instructions on the darkhorse page, which said to remove:
Vending.apk out of system/app
com.android.vending out of data/data
com.android.vending-1.apk out of data/app
from there i adb push'ed my Vending.apk to the proper place. but nothing happened on the phone despite confirmation via adb. i rebooted phone, still no luck.
i tried this over and over with different markets of all versions and colors. i tried adb push and adb install. nothing works... all i want is my market back.. can anyone help?
Reflash the gapps package and you should be back to normal.

Please flash a gapps zip, you can grab it in the same thread as you did gingerbread. You have to flash the gapps after you flash a rom, that will install ur market,etc.
forgot to mention, i tried that too! after flashing gapps failed i tried to pull the market from it and manually install it, to no avail..
All I can think of is to clear your phone off and redo it all without the theme. You could use blackened gingerbread.

Delete market from System/Apps completely (you need root for this)
Download the Play Market
If problem occurs, then download gapps and reflash the gapps in CWM. I hope you know atleast this part

What About MarketUpdater.apk ?
Nope as you can see the size of Market Updater is only 12kb, The Market itself is atleast 4MB, if it's not there then that mean's its deleted. Just simply place the APK posted above in system/app and rename it as Vending.apk and restart the tablet. It should restore market.
the probelm solved when i updated to google play 3.5.15 today by put the vending file in to system/app
thanks so much
Glad to see you got it going

You don't say if you are unlocked and have a recovery?
Doing a factory reset will not bring back deleted apps as it only wipes the cache etc.
Re installing should have brought them apps back but I don't know how you are tying to re install.. Can you give a little bit more information on what I have asked please.

Have found out i am missing the google services framework.APK as well anyone know where i can get a copy thats on the TFP, i have downloaded a few but the install fails every time i try, would these be device specific?

You will not be able to just install it. You will have to copy it into system/app folder using a file manager that has root support like es file explorer or root explorer.
Here is the file from the new JB update.

I'm really not sure what you deleted all together but try this.
GO to settings-apps and go to "all"
Scroll down to Google play services and google play store and force stop both and clear data and cache for both.

Any reason why you can't unlock the device and install a recovery so you can install custom roms? or are you trying to keep your warranty intact ?
I'm also not sure why you can't just do part 3 of the instructions you followed in the original post to put jellybean back on again. ( then again you have edited so many files this might not be advisable.)

As you said i am trying to keep warranty in place at the moment, i thought that following section three would work as well as i only accidentally changed the files from the system when i had installed but every time i have tried it doesnt reinstall the apks that were removed.
I am running jellybeans with a red theme and want to install an inverted red gmail apk. I have paid root explorer and have tried to figure out how to do this with searches and such, but most just say to rename gmail.apk and then install new apk. I can't even find stock gmail.apk :crying:. Installing zips through twrp is simple lol, this has me stumped.
I am on Verizon. The red gmail apk is in att thread but hoping it will still work.

You could also just uninstall your current Gmail and install the themed version as a normal apk. You might need to reboot in between.
Okay, here is what I had to do thanks to help from several sources lol.
1. Go into app manager and uninstall gmail.
2. Download the apk file you want to install (either to dropbox or straight to phone)
3. Open the downloaded file and click install .
4. Enjoy themed gmail!!!!
Whoo Hoooo.
Probably should have rebooted after uninstall of stock gmail app, but worked without this time lol.
Thank You

Go into permissions manager and make sure the play installer has all it's permissions?
