Need help to get Google Customisable Search Bar - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I am using Redmi Note 4 SD, India variant, based on latest Closed Beta MIUI 9.
I have been trying various methods to try the new Customisable Google search bar feature that has been rolling out since October with the Beta version of the GOOGLE app.
But, even after installing the latest Beta, I don't get the customisable search bar.
I have tried:
1. Clearing Cache/data of the Google app.
2. FCs, permission changes, Account changes, etc.
3. Tried the Beta Play Services too.
Still, no use.
If anyone knows of a working way to get the customisable bar, please help me.
Signing off,
Bizzare_Sawbones.

How to install Google apps if not available in country

Hello All,
The topic says it all.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 with Cyanogen Mod which i recently updated to nightly build 7-11162011-NIGHTLY.
Even with this update and with the stable build whenever I go to the market to install Google Maps and Latitude, it always this application is not available in your country, which us kinda hard to believe.
Interestingly remaining within the very same country I can install and use Google Maps and Latitude Symbian version on my old Samsung Omnia HD i8910.
So does anyone know or have anyone tried to install all such google apps with country restrictions.
Thanks for your support.
Try using Market enabled app, its on the market but you need root access for it (I guess you have, if you have custom ROM)
It allows to fake the location to Market app, bypassing the location restrictions. Just open the app, press and hold the Network/Location you wish to fake and select fake the provider. Then just go to market app, restrictions should be gone.
Its very useful for this weird cases.
Hope it helps.

Play Store Service crashes every 10 seconds - how to freeze version?

Hey there,
if you are still a regular user of the good old GTab 10.1 - like my GF - you might have encountered this issue recently too.
Google has updated and does remotely update your Play Store Service to a version which is not supported anymore by this tablet, or the other way around, the app does not support our hardware anymore and the service keeps crashing and crashing, same with Chrome and Maps as far as I know.
Well I first thought something is wrong with the ROM or Gapps so I looked for a recent unofficial ROM and found the [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 7.1.1 Nougat and there was stated:
Incompatible apps:
The following apps no longer support the hardware in this tablet. They will not work on any ROM for this device. There is no hack to make them work.
Apps that do not support this tablet:
Chrome 50+
Google Translate
Gboard 6.0.79
Maps 9.45
Google Play services 10.2
Apps based on Unity 5 engine
Last known compatible versions:
Chrome 49.0
Gboard 6.0.69
Maps 9.44
Google Play services 10.0.84

Well I had a backup from 2015 on the GTab and restored it but immediately the service updated itself and it began to crash.
In the Above mentioned thread there was some1 writing
This worked for me (for disabling Google Play Services auto-update) :
- disconnect wifi
- disable auto-update apps in Google Play Store
- in Settings / Apps, GPS, 3-dots menu, Uninstall updates, so back to v10.0.84....
- in App info, Data usage, disable Unrestricted data usage
- reconnect wifi
Now GPS doesn't seem to auto-update anymore.
Best regards

Sadly this does not seem to work for me. I was thinking about Titanium backup to freeze the GPS but I am not sure if this will work.
Also flashed manually a GApps Version which had the older play store in it but also got overwritten immediately
So have you encountered this issue and how did you fix it?
Thanks
Did you make sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play store? That combined with the other steps listed worked for me and my Galaxy Tab play services has NOT updated... And it works fine, though it still occasionally crashes, but not every ten secons.
Thank you for this information. I've been banging my head on the wall for a few days while searching the cause.
I'm facing exactly the same problem.
I don't have the "Disable unrestricted data usage" option in Google Play Services Data Usage.
There is only "Restrict app background data", but this one doesn't prevent GPS from update.
In the next day GPS updates automatically to version 10.2.* and crushes.
have you tried this ? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832
tl;dr create 2 folders at /data/app : com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk . Done that today, but still need to test on the long run.
I tried this and it worked - for a couple of days. Now some apps are complaining they are unlicensed
Well I was able to disable GPS completely but now, as stated above, apps are complaining and there are now no app updates availible and the complete store is disabled, not really what I was looking for. But I guess Google now really fu:cyclops::cyclops:ed us. So are we done with this tablet or what?

My p4wifi is working fine on the latest 7.1.1 ROM and the older GApps. Disabling automatic updates in the Play Store keeps regular apps from updating when we don't want them to.
Disabling the background data settings in Apps.... Google Play Services... Settings keeps GPS from updating itself.
(I'm not sure that I made the settings change in Developer Options or not.)
It might be worth reading through the posts in the 7.1.1 thread.
I can afford a new tablet, but cannot find anything this size that keeps the ROM current with Google releases.
(I also do not play games or need esoteric applications.)
Don't give up yet.
Is this a solution?

I also deleted cacche from Gps & blocked the internet connection wth Afwall.
Tried the solution of lebaronrouge in 5.1.1 rom topic.
Seems to work.

No more download progress notification on Adroid P

Hey there,
I already posted about this issue on Samsung forums, but since nobody could help me there I'm asking here, maybe some of you have an idea.
After just installing the Android P beta over Android O without wiping anything, this problem doesn't occur. Just since doing a full wipe I have this issue:
When installing or updating any app in the PlayStore I don't get a download progress shown in the notifcation panel anymore. Also I don't get notifications about finishing updating apps.
I could read that many OnePlus 6 users had this issue on Android P, but the solutions that worked for them don't work for me.
I tried things like wiping Download-Manager, Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and even wiping the whole system multiple times, nothing worked.
This issue does not make my device unusable, but still it's very annoying, so I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi there, I'm having the very same issue, even after updating to February build...
It's worth noting the problem concerns available updates notifications as well.
I reached out to Google Support via the help button in the Play Store app, but they weren't able to provide help (only told me to uninstall play store updates, thus reverting the app to its factory settings, without success).
Hope someone figures this out, it's annoying to have and go check for possible updates.
Since doing everything possible (even wiping system) did not work for me I can't really help you I guess. For me a system update fixed the issue.

Google Assistant Voice "Ok Google"

As the title suggests I am having issues with Voice training the Google Assistant on my OnePlus 5. The issue started way back in December 2018 and to date nothing I have tried to resolve the issue has worked. I have tried all the fixes from checking permissions/language settings (tried both UK and US) to deleting cache and uninstalling the Google app then to the extreme of a factory reset all to no avail. I have sent feedback to both OnePlus and Google and again nothing has come of it. It is like my microphone just won't switch on using ANY Google app including chrome. I have no issues with the microphone on any other 3rd party apps and have tried both Cortana and Alexa apps and they work with no issues. I got a Google home at Christmas and haven't been able to use it fully as I can't train my voice. When I uninstalled the Google app to the stock version without the updates I noted that the access with Voice match toggle was greyed out and unable to be turned on. This issue has been a regression from the last Oreo update right through to the latest Pie 9.0.5 Oxygen OS.
Does anyone out there know how to fix this problem? Surely after 6+ months down the line a fix should have been implemented?
Does it work now? I had the same issue on my OnePlus 5 but I was just recently (within the last week) able to get it working.
