[Q] google search does not load after root/cm10

I rooted my acer a500 using Skrilax Cz bootloader v8 and CM10-flex v6 rev 2.3. I also installed the gapps apk that was recomended. Everything seems to work except when I try to open google by taping the search bar on the main screen or the google icon is the apps area, the program starts, loads a couple of images and then shuts returning to main screen. this happens everytime. I have wiped data, cashe and have tried updating from the market. interesting enough when I tap the Browser button (not google) everything runs fine. Any ideas or tips I could try would be appreciated.

Google Edition ROM Tip

When I installed the stock Google Edition ROM for my AT&T HTC One, everything was great except that stupid black bar at the bottom of certain apps like Facebook. But then I saw that my beloved TrickDroid ROM had a Google Edition version with the option to remove the 3-dot menu button in Aroma! So I installed that, checked the option to remove the bar in recovery, and booted it up. Unfortunately there were no menu buttons in any of my apps. No options in Google Chrome, or any other app for that matter. But I found a solution. I reflashed the ROM without that option, and installed a couple of things.
1. Trister Mod Kenel Settings. I checked the option to Disable 3Dot Menu. Now this will cause the same headache I had when I flashed the ROM the first time, but the fix is next.
2. Xposed Mod and the MoDaCo toolkit. Find the option for "enable action bar menu button" and enable that. Then reboot and everything will be glorious!
I just did Step 1, but the HTC logo is already a menu button so I just disabled the long 3 dot menu bar and use the HTC logo as myenu button now, not the "action overflow menu" option.

If running stock kernel as Bigxie's Rom does the Monaco's mod is needed. But other Roms runs Baldwin kernel which places menu on HTC (optional in aroma)

Which option did you check I can't see an option to disable the 3 dot menu

[Q] Did not flash Gapps, Google Search Bar does not open Google Now?

Hi so I'm on PA 3.99 and I did not flash the Gapps package since I don't wanna bloar my phone. the problem is that now when I press the Google Search Bar on my homescreen it does not open the Google Now app (I've installed it from the Play Store, it does work fine) but instead open the ancient Google Search app that we saw in Android 2.0. I've tried disabling the search service in the Apps menu but it only lead to a warning that Search has stopped working. The microphone next to the search bar still opens the right app, however.
Any of you guys want to shed me a light on this? Thanks...
Flash Gapps, I had the same thing happen back then except I had forgotten to flash it after the rom. You'll probably run into other issues eventually if you don't flash the Gapps package. Flashing it won't add any bloatware or unnecessary software, so don't worry about it.
after you flash the gapps, boot up then just delete what you dont want out of/system/app/. thats what i do.
To be honest, if just having gapps is bloat to you then a smartphone might not be a good choice.

How to install a system wide black theme, a pull down data on/off toggle, and xpoed?

I have a t mobile note 4 running a modified rooted stock marshmallow rom and was wondering if there is there a way to install a system wide black theme, flashlight functionality and a pull down toggle, a data on/off pull down toggle and xposed? I tried to install xposed through twrp and magisk, but it didnt work. Is there a way to install a youtube ad blocker (other than youtube adaway, which hasnt been working on my other device).

1st option You can install note7/s7 port rom and you can get samsung themes there are lot's of dark ui themes.
2nd option since you have Tmobile note 4 there is a rom called infamous rom but it is available only on android 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 you will get superfast touchwiz launcher complete dark ui and all apps everything in black+ all the quick toggles enable by default but you have to compromise and downgrade if you want to install infamous 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 just flash 5.1.1 bootloader and flash the rom from Twrp it will work just fine.
To download infamous rom the infamous rom thread is dead so you won't find the download link there . You have to go to www.androidfilehost.com and search for "infamous" type in search and you will get rom there.
Hope this will help.

Possibly have two different firmwares running?

I have a SM-G550FY, at least that is what my phone says. Now when I got the phone it was a metropcs phone and I tired rooting it which worked. Then I tried to flash the Reborn ON5 rom and then I had no sound. After this I tried flashing a stock rom but I believe it was for the T-Mobile variant. NOW it wont open ANYTHING. It boots and the initial android setup shows up but after I cant even open the settings in my phone. I used recovery to reinstall the reborn rom since no sound is better then no apps. I believe I flashed imgs for different model number but now I am not sure what to do. I just want to go back to the stock rom so I can have my sound back. Any help would be appreciated.
To fix the no apps/black screen what I did was pull down the notification menu from the top of the screen, then by long pressing the buttons I was eventually able to get into a settings menu where I could get to the play store. I started by downloading a bunch of the basic apps that were missing...contacts, messages, etc. then I installed "Google Now Launcher" and that fixed all the things. The bad metro wallpaper showed up and there were the apps that I thought were missing. I hope this helps...or at least gives you some hope that everything isnt lost.
Edit...if you can get to the play store...try the google now launcher first. Honestly any launcher might work.
