Block trending search terms in google search app for android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really annoying: when I open my Google quick search app (long press home) I get trending terms and topics I've never searched.
Did a downgrade to a last year version, same problem.
Does anyone know how to block (I'm rooted), and could please tell how?
Or any suggestions for an alternative Google search app?
Thank you.

Android market/Google play

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, however since the TFP is the first and only tablet I thought I would start here with this question.
Again I am new to tablets so please excuse me if this is a stupid question to be asking. Since I have owned this tablet I have installed many apps from the Android market and now Google play. On my Android phone when I update an app it will have the "what's new" area, visit the developers website and reviews from users. On my tablet I do not see these areas at all. I have gone to the settings in google play (android market), I have tried to search through Google and search through XDA and have not found the answer.
Is this the way it is on tablets?
Am I missing something on the settings?
I hope this is fixable because I like to look at what is new, look at reviews and sometimes I like to go to the developers website before I update my apps.
Thanks in advance and again sorry if this has already been asked and answered

You need to tap the app icon, that's the only way I know..

Dialer integration to google maps

Hi, I am looking for any mod/rom/app which integrate dialer with google maps/navigation.
Android phone is almost perfect device for me but there is one huge problem with navigation when driving and someone call you then dialer covers whole screen when pickup the call.
So far I have found that only htc navigation works well with dialer but unfortunately the only navi app is best for me is Google Navigation.
So the question is...
Does exist any application or mod which activating that feature on android phone
Any one already tried to develop this ?
I have already spent around 100pounds on navigation apps that I dont like and I am able to pay some cash to have that option available on google maps and I think many people will be happy from this feature is well, so if you have any info how to do this please tell.
Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
anyone?
or any hint where to look for sensation dialer that show up when driving ?

[Q] updated to JB, but no google now

my friend's S3 recently received an update to JB. he updated it through Kies. He decided to test the new feature of the google search app called Google Now but he cant see it. Going to the settings of the said app, there should be an option for Google NOw there, but in his phone, there is none. Even the UI which is supposed to show mountains and cards is not in his S3's google search app, his is just plain search box UI.
What could be are the problems?
Look at your apps, it's simply called Google. (blue box, white G) and when launched it gives some info on Google now and asks if you want to use it. In Applications Manager it says Google Search.

Google Maps Help

Hey all,
Possible user error here, but I noticed that searching for a contact from the within the Maps app does not appear to return any results. Also, if I search for a business, Maps does not sort the results according to what is closest...they're just kind of all over the place.
Full disclosure, I recently switched back to Android after using an iPhone for maybe two years, so I'm not entirely sure if this is just how the UI is or if I'm being a bonehead.
Any help is appreciated.
***Edit**
Well, I found the answer to question one is that I'm using a Google Apps account, so contact search isn't support within Maps yet.

[Q] Google Playstore maturity ads & links

Hey!
Have bit of dilemma here, if I had an mature app, eg. like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spinapps.becki then would it be allowed to have adds or links that would redirect the user to a site where same kind of app would be able to be downloaded but full nude?
Didn't quite find exact answer from Google Playstore policy, so would be grateful if anybody had any ideas or could be helpful. Thanks!
Anybody?
