[Q] Sound Search widget is missing from JB rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed Jellybean today on my Galaxy Nexus using the guide I found on The Verge
http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3...illa-stock-jelly-bean-on-gsm-galaxy-nexus-now
everything works great, except the fact that the sound search widget is nowhere to be found
the apk exists but the widget is not on the list, I tried to reinstall the apk but since the original one it's signed I can't install over it.
I'm not rooted
Anyone got a clue about this?
Thanks a lot

Same here, the Sound Search widget is missing, also the app does not appear on the list of installed apps (should be "Sound Search for Google Play").
I currently have no music on my nexus, maybe there is my mistake?
Edit: You need to defrost the app, then it works again. But why its always after flashing (official trough ota) jelly bean frosted? How to unfrost without root?
Edit 2: I flashed 4.0.4 yakju via fastboot and updates again official through ota, after doing this multiple, it works again (after the 3rd try)

[Q] VideoPlayer.apk from TW update

Hi,
In my brief run-in with the TW update before going back to stock, the only thing I was really impressed with was the Video Player (not the red icon Google one, the white icon one).
I've tried ADB'ing the VideoPlayer.apk into /system/app following an unsuccessful attempt to install it normally and the icon is there but it FC's.
Has anyone been successful in installing this app on the Stock 3.1 ROM and if so, how?
I'm not sure how to check what possible dependencies it has.
Thanks,
Neil.
I don't think there's much hope for me. Using ADB logging it seems to raise an exception calling a maethod com.andoid.widget.SearchView.SetSearchViewAnimation, which as far I can see isn't listed in the Android SDK...

[Q] Flash is malfunctioning?

it seems that Flash, for me, is malfunctioning. If I enter just any website which has flash content, it always tells me I need Flash Player to view that content. I know Adobe said they'd drop the android support, but it was my understanding that Samsung still would include Flash in their Jellybean update? I even tried installing a Flash apk I know works, but neither the stock web browser nor Chrome picks it up.
Chrome does not pick it up since it's unable of using extensions.
Are you sure you included a complete APK (best results are from ones exported from ICS-phone)
Try an APK from this forum, you should find several uploaders.
Flash works flawlessly on stock Browser in Jelly Bean
IIRC, the .apk I've been using came from the Nexus 7 forums and was said to work witg Jellybean. I'll scout the themes and apps section and see if there's one which works.
EDIT: By the way, does it matter if the .apk is installed as a user app or system app?

[Q] Jellybam and Google Talk

Hi folks,
I'm pretty new to rooting & flashing but I decided to stick Jellybam on my Samsung Galaxy S II the other day. (My previous experience was to flash Samsung's stock ICS a couple months ago)
Anyway, I started by doing a complete factory reset and flashing version 20121120. All was good.
I then upgraded to 20121123. All good so far - all my apps were carried forward from the factory reset to the new version.
yesterday I flashed 20121125. Pretty much no problems with the update with the exception of the Google Talk app - It did not carry forward. This is not totally unexpected since gapps were removed from the ROM according to the release notes.
The problem is, I can't find Google Talk anywhere on the Play store - I've searched using all the relevant key words I can think of, but no sign of it. Does anyone have a link for it? Or can I get Play to play nice? It's an app that I do use quite alot so I would like to get it up and running again.
I have seen some APKs linked on some older threads, but, to be honest I'd rather go thru the Play store since it will then keep the pap up to date etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
cheers,
Paul.
Ok,
well I found, in the jellybean thread, a suggestion to unpack the talk apk from the previous and copy it to system/app.
Unfortunately, I can't post directly in that thread but maybe someone here can help?
I have taken the older ROM and extracted the apk. Is the instruction to put that into the new ROM and reflash it? I have tried simply installing the APK (via cwm ) but it doesnt work. Just says "App not installed" after I agreee to the permissions....
any ideas?

[Q] Adobe Flash problem ...

Hi - We have two Galaxy I9100 S2's - both are Unlocked, Rooted, and running Jellybean 4.1.2 I9100XWLSD_I9100OXXLS6_I9100XXLS8_NEE (the Nordic build)
I visited a web site in the stock browser that required Flash, and discovered that Flash is no longer available from Google Play
I found that Flash will work on JB, if you side-load the .apk
So, I download Flash from http://d-h.st/x4v, installed it, re-visited the web site, and the Flash video played ok in my browser :good:
Problem is, after following the same procedure on my wife's phone, her phone will still not play the video
I've tried re-downloading the .apk, also copying the .apk from my phone using WiFi-Direct
Any ideas why it works on one phone and not on the other ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't know which version you used, but try this one.
Thanks - won't be able to try it until tonight though
Once I got my hands on her phone, I noticed that she'd increased the default font size, and also activated the browser's Incognito mode
I un-did those two settings, and installed your Flash .apk,
and it's working now :good:
-Thanks

[Q] Gallery won't work, need stock apk

Well, my girlfriend updated her Galaxy S3 a couple of days ago, and suddenly the gallery wouldn't work. It just showed up as com.sec.android.gallery3d in the app drawer. I've done everything in my power, even rooted the damn thing, but nothing seems to work.
Amidst my ferocious attack on the problem I seem to have gotten rid of the "faulty" gallery apk and can't find a good one via google that works.
Odd thing is that at first the com.sec.android.gallery3d app was missing from /system/app. When I did a search for "gallery" I found SecGallery2013.apk that was called "com.sec.android.gallery3d" in it's properties. Kind of like a symlink I think.
That original SecGallery2013.apk is now gone with the wind for some reason (my ADHD took over a while). I actually found a com.google.android.gallery3d that works (but not original) and com.sec.android.gallery3d-2be92cef98aab5194d4ae68382324577.apk (took away the number at the end of course) that seems to be the original, but crashes constantly.
I'm at a loss, hence why I did the topic name "need stock apk", as that might fix things.
Though somewhere on the filesystem (I'm still somewhat of a noob as to how android is built) there were once a folder called com.sec.android.gallery3d which is not there anymore. Any attempts at installing the apk has, obviously, also failed.
I've read almost every other possible solution, but all of them seem to be under the impression that I would have the sense to backup every single thing...
Help!
What android, firnware are you running right now?
You can get the gallery app from any STOCK BASED flashable zip (many lite version roms available in this forum). Just open the zip, look under system/app or something similar, take the apk file, put it in system/app of your own phone with rw-r-r permissions, then reboot.
Stock system apps can't be just installed, they must be manually placed in system/app directory.
Try to flash Google Apps from CWM or TWRP (I assume you already flashed CWM or TWRP with Odin)
A brief explanation of Google Apps:
Apps like Play Store, Gallery, Camera, etc... Or the stock proprietary software made by Google are all in this one zip file called GApps, All you need to know is how to flash ZIPs (easy as 1,2,3) and the GApps for your android version.
Other options:
Find another 3rd party Gallery alternative from Google Play (EASIEST)
Flash CyanogenMod or an alternate ROM (Too risky just for getting gallery back)
Just get the images from the device to your computer
Well that's all I got, PM me if you need anything, hit "Thanks" if I helped you
