Hello, I was wondering if anyone can provide a Google search apk. I do not like the search that is installed in all the new ROMs that first takes you to Google results then after you pick a result it takes you to browser I want a version that bypass that and takes me directly to Google results but in my browser. If anyone has an older version can you please share? I have found several searching online but the resolution on the widget is horrible. Thank you. So I'm assuming the one that I don't like is w. Google now I want an old version.

Yeah im sure its something that is still being worked on but sucks that its included in all roms. Replacing app with google searck apk works but I think because of the difference in android 2.3 and 4.0 the search Icon looks all weird no matter which version you install but it dies replace google now

I sorted it with an apk from another rom everything works fine I would up but not able to.

Removed. Sorry posted in wrong thread.
ROMs with Aroma installer give you the option to install it or not check it out... I just installed Team genesis Sense 4.1
And during instalation I didn't check the option and it installed the normal google search

If it is still of interest, there is an alternative available in play store: QuickSearch of Ozmium.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ozmium.QuickSearch
Besides providing a widget, it's an app as well, doing what you described: opening the search results in browser.
Cheers

I know this is posted in other sections but i thought i would let my fellow MT4G users in on this
google has released a updated version of their camera app, gallery app, music app and more to galaxy s phone users
these have been extracted and posted here
http://www.androidnews.de/download/test-market-leaked-apps.zip
Unfortunatly, the only apps i have gotten to work are the camera, music, and market (though i see no difference in the market, and i found the camera less featured that the one i already had...if you want to try the camera, it can be installed along side the current one)
I am running RoyalMIUIr3, so those were compatible with this rom, other roms may differ
WARNING: I am having issues installing downloaded apps using the new vending.apk. backup your current one before installing the new version.
I wonder which one of these would work on CM... Gonna try.

so, your search records are 'owned' by b. gates (M$OFT) instead of the CIA (google)
I don't see what's so weird about it. different search engines turn up different results, even once you ignore the paid results...

funny. I was unaware of the difference.
wonder why my stick figure comics page comes up from bing sometimes?
low stats and I never submitted it anywhere but google and Yahoo.
If you can get over the fact that it comes from Microsoft, the Bing app for Android is actually a pretty good app.
Here's a review of it: http://www.androidcentral.com/bings-android-app-redesigned-brings-bit-metro-it
I use the maps piece of it as I find the traffic overlays are more accurate than Google maps traffic.
The issue from the other thread (which unfortunately escalated into a shouting match) is that the latest version of the Bing app has something going on whereby the market thinks it is not compatible with 2.3 roms (I've tried both IHO and asop) and you cannot download bing if you are running one of these roms. If, however, you download Bing using a 2.2 rom and then restore it to a 2.3 using Titanium or another backup program, the program runs fine.
I don't have many more details than this. If you want to help debug and solve this probem, please post! If you are not interested, please let us work on this without snide comments about "why would you want to use bing?"
And please, do not post in the IHO thread. All Bing discussion should remain here.
Only bing I care about are cherries and Crosby.

Afraid i'm little help.
I rarely to never use the market... haven't flashed gapps in over a month (never yet on iho)
I always search out app downloads on the interweb instead of using market.
if you try 4shared.com you might be able to get a current version of the bing app.
I only use northern lights

Yahoo uses Bing's search results. If you submitted to Yahoo, it's also on Bing.
While it doesn't show up in the google market it does in fact show up in the Amazon app store. This seems to be either an m$ issue or a market issue. Not sure why everybody is so passionate about this as there appear to be multiple ways to install it all legit like.
Unfortunately, the version in the amazon app store is very old (version 1.02.530.20110404 which is from April.) The latest version in regular Android market is 2.0.546.20010811, released August 15)

As pointed out amazons app store as amazing as it is. It is lacking in updated apps. Partly because the approval process is a pain in the ass and partly because some devs stop messing with amazon because of the trouble to get updated apps pushed.
Another thing amazon app store doesnt check your phone to see if you can install the app all the time. Only if the dev has specifically done so upon uploading. I can download apps that will not work on my optimus from amazon and android market has it hidden from me.
There's noway that someone could just post the apk?
So i'm running IHO id have to flash like bumblebee or something? download bing, backup and then reflash iho??
Or just get it from Amazon
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Ok but the one on amazon is an old version.
To me, the issue is not so much having someone post a copy of the apk (which is really a band-aid fix.) Rather, I'l like to harness the collective brain of this community to determine a root cause and see if we can find a fix or patch.
For example, is the issue caused by the market seeing O/S 2.3 and thinking it's not compatible?
Or, is it caused by the carrier ID code? (So, for example, can we use Market Enabler https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en to work around the problem?)
What's wrong with Bing? its not like anyone uses it >.>
so i tried market enabler and i still wasn't able to see the bing app on the market. But i think that market enabler does not work with the latest version of the market. is anyone here on a 2.2 device? try to download bing please!
Did I do something wrong upon installation or is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, i just opened market, went to apps, and found youtube. Downloaded and installed just fine.
1. Perhaps you should install the gapps 20110828 again, and install with ROM Manager.
link is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. when in doubt, you could always use the patch:

hopefully this'll get it all fixed up for ya.
you need to flash a market fix. The market hides them because it thinks they don't work well on the screen size.
i lied, fix is actually linked on this forum as well

CM7 Alpha 2.1 is supposed to incorporate this patch, but I'm not sure if it works correctly for those people updating without wipes.
I was not able to find youtube application and when i searched in browser and open the link market I got message that in my country I was not allowed to install it. What a BS
So onlyway was to find an apk

Try "Craigslist HD" app. Can't find it on touchpad and Its specifically for tablets. Also, is there a fix for not being able to see all the search results? Search gives 50 results sometimes but only shows the first 20 or so.
Both these problems occurred on alpha 1 and 2.1, and with the market fix flashed.

Thank the OP in the above link if it works for you!
Got it up and working on my phone. I'm running Shostack2 3.1.1
Many similar threads on XDA , NOT COOL !1!
I can see multiple similar threads on half-baked Google now from JB which is still quite buggy... atleast one in all smartphone's theme section ...
You should mention whats working and whats not before directing someone to this link ... is not very usable as of now.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.
tks,trying...

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

On nook color I added android on top of stock Rom because I wanted the kids reading book functionality. Is there something similar for the tablet?
Yes. You can root and add any launcher that works with Gingerbread. I know the update.zip I posted in the development section includes homecatcher, which will ask you what you want to launch, stock launcher or another, when you press the n key twice. It's the same update zip that is posted elsewhere too, I just couldn't find it when I was looking last night.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Technically you can make it work on any from. You just need to get the apps from the apps and themes section. Also if its just the nook reading app you want, you can still download it from the market, and you can also get books from Google too, I've testing it on 4.x Roms and up, and it works really well.
