Kind of as expected, nobody cares if they can't have a conniption in a ROM thread.
People use Bing? Weird.

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!
came across this while reading Google current article. its jellybean version of playstore. For me, everything is alot better in this one. everything loads almost instantly. alot more optimized IMO. this is the latest version. I already installed and its running fine.
there's new content in this one. like magazines, TV shows, movies, etc.. you will notice the difference once you install this. still amazed how fast everything loads up in this version.
I wasn't sure if this was allowed or not. If not, mods can immediately delete it. its just the new jellybean playstore version that was extracted from JB rom.
Is this just for the US? I have installed this but makes no difference here in the UK.
thanks man
jellybean
i read jelly bean is going to have encrypted apps, think im gonna stay with ICS!

I heard THST also. but I think that only applies for trying to sideload paid apps. I believe you can still sign onto playstore on a new device and install the apps like that. you know you have like a history section that shows all your apps you ever installed or paid from there. then you can just reinstall into new device from there.
they are trying to cut down on piracy so i see the reason why they would encrypt the app to be specific to that psrticualr device once downloaded. it doesn't stop you from entering in your same info on a new device and downloading it again, from the playstore, onto the new device.
The marketplace loads much faster now, thanks!
Thanks!

this is probably a dum? but how do i install this? it says its an APK but when i download it its a zip and it doesnt flash in recovery or install like an APK
edit-nevermind i got it, just renamed to APK and all is good. thanks
I expect this version to be rolled out to all other Android devices. My phone is still on the current version of the Play Store that doesn't have magazines, etc. When I launch the Play Store on it, there is an advertisement to own Pixar movies starting at $10, even though you need the newest version of the Play Store to buy movies. You can also download a Play Magazines app from the current Play Store in preparation for when the new Play Store app rolls out you can buy magazines (or you can subscribe to them online).
Interesting.... thanks for sharing.
Works great! I Thank you.
no problem. still amazed how much better this version is than previous one. this playstire loads everything nearly instant now.
Yes, it's crazy how fast it is compared to the ICS one we previously had.
Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but does the system still lag when installing apps, has that been sorted or is it still more or less the same?
Amazing, Thanks!
Hi,
Is there an European version available? I installed this one and now it does not download apps from the store.
Thanks in advance
Here is a slightly updated version 3.7.13. that came out a couple of days ago:

Make sure that you clear the data of the Play Store under application settings before installing

Thanks. Works ok now.
Still no new content available (like magazines etc).
Update,
After hearing what some people said, should I delete this zip file and have a mod delete this post or do any of you think it is useful?
So I decided that everytime I installed Gapps for cm or anything else that doesn't include it that the installer for the latest Gapps should have gmail too.
Since it doesn't and for some reason it's not available in the play store I would just add it to the package.
And it works!
So if this helps anyone who needs it!
I am not responsible for anything u do with your device ok?
Also this should be flash after flashing cm9 or aokp
http://db.tt/YJXa0gOc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oid.gm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Everytime I install cm9 it never gives me the option to install it. I don't know of its because I live in Germany or what. So I stop trying and tried this method and it works great!
this is what i get when searching for it
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
What about when you search on the webpage and not the app ?
Does it give you the option to install it to your device when signed in ?
Yes I can. However, I hope this would help people who dont want to search for it. I love Gmail and so I just added it with that zip file.
Are people gonna have an issue with this?
I can't see why they would.. I was just curious that's all.
How about I make one that has all the Google services that way you don't have to search for it all the time?
With non stock based ROMs, you have to flash GApps. That's mainly because Google requested the AOSP teams to not install the GApps as default because of the licensing. Google (or someone) provides the gapps zip. You can find it on Goo Manager which you can download in the Play Store.

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.

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.

THISIS50.COM IF IT'S HOT IT'S HERE
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
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I sorted it with an apk from another rom everything works fine I would up but not able to.
THISIS50.COM IF ITS HOT ITS HERE
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
