I have been running SmoothBean 4.1.2 for a while now and loving it. Great job nobe!
I have Google Search v2.0.0.392829 and it works very well. My question is about allowing the recent update to this app. After the latest update from Google, the app crashes every time I try to start it.
Are there any known fixes or has anyone else seen this behavior?

Has anybody noticed that clicking the hardware Search button force-closes the Home Screen app when application list is open? Uninstalling the google search update fixes that.
I sure does.........
I'm a MoPho-er
The question is, is it a Moto issue or a Google issue...
If it's a Google issue, an update should fix it.
If it's a Moto issue, it won't be addressed until the next OTA, whenever that is. Hell, it might not even be addressed at all.
The bigger question is, does Google or Moto even know about the issue?
Just flashed randomblame's excellent JELLYTIME ROM on my Inspire. It's working great, but like so many others I've been bitten by the paid app bug in the Play Store encryption process. I'm looking for a work-around, but there doesn't seem to be much out there, or I'm missing it.
As far as widgets go, HD Widgets responded well to the "back up, delete and restore" treatment. But neither of my preferred keyboards (SwiftKey or Thumb Keyboard) will persist after a reboot. I tried the process mentioned above, but keyboard still reverts to stock. I'm using a free version of another keyboard app, and it does persist, but I'd really like to find a better solution.
3 questions:
1. Is there a workaround to get these keyboard apps to persist? I've found nothing, and I'd rather not go through the whole installation process every time I reboot.
2. If not, is there a way to use Tasker to install after reboot? I'm not really knowledgable about Tasker, and this seems to be beyond it's capabilities, but I'm not sure.
3. I've read that Google disabled encryption in the JB Play Store. What does that mean exactly? That apps purchased from JB Play aren't encrypted? If that's the case then they should persist correct? But I have, I think, the JB Play Store, and when I installed SwiftKey from Play, it still doesn't persist. Maybe I don't actually have JB Play. Or maybe Play remembers that my phone was originally Gingerbread and it won't let me install JB apps. I don't know.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Just checked. Along with JELLYTIME I flashed JB gapps zip found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675
Looks like the right one to me. Hmm...
Another P.S. When I search Play Store for Google Wallet on my laptop, it tells me it's not compatible with my phone. So I'm thinking Play doesn't realize I'm running JB. Is there a way to fix this?
Hello everyone
I've been trying for a while to get the Google Search to listen to me, but so far, no success. The problem is, every version of the app (except for the 3.3) works fine until I hit the voice search button, causing the app to force close.
So far, I've tried updating my /system/lib, and I had only got a slight more of a delay before force closing, again. I've tried various versions of the app, same thing, 3.3 won't even start properly. And no, I can't update the app through Play Store.
I'm running CM11 Android 4.4.2 with the gapps provided there.
So guys, ideas?
I really liked the new interface in google search described here:
androidpolice.com/2014/05/28/google-slowly-turning-on-newer-cleaner-app-results-ui-in-search-app/
Google search has now reverted back to the old vertical list.
Everything is updated, google search is from 1/7/2014 version 3.5.15.1254529.arm
Nexus 5 Android 4.4.4, no change uninstalling xposed.
Has this happened to everyone else?
I recently rooted (then un-rooted, long story) my Nexus 5x. After restoring my phone, I've noticed that if I do OK Google while in some apps, there's a message in the popup that says "search for something on (at sign)string/app_name" which seems to be a place holder for the actual app name. I never noticed this before restoring my phone. I attempted to reinstall the Google app but the issue persists.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any clues on how to fix it? Not really a huge issue, but it really bugs me.
If this is the wrong forum please let me know.
sounds like a bug in the app (typo in the code), as the "@" isn't used when referencing a string resource like that from Java.
can you post a screenshot? try updating to the latest version of the Google app and/or Google Play Services?
I just noticed this happen on my phone as well. I'm running Android 6.0 and updated the Play Store today. It seems to be an actual feature where you can search for a word on an installed app. E.g. fish on Facebook, cars or Pinterest. I tried this and it worked on a few apps but not everything. If this is actually a new feature and I'm not just confused that could explain the bugs. Since this happened to you a while back, maybe it was unlocked during root, kind of like the split screen Easter egg on 6.0?
