What's the name of the app in the system /app folder. I'm on alpha 10 and I just want to remove it and install from the play store. I deleted "velvet" bbut Google is still there. Just need the 41q on a fix or a way to delete the Google search so I can reinstall it. Thanks.
Thanks

I don't know about a lot of you but I like using the search suggestions when using the Google search on my phone. Out of the blue the other day, my phone no longer displays suggestions. It happened after I installed a different keyboard, but even after i tried uninstalling it, suggestions still do not show. Any ideas?

Are you talking about the search function inside a browser or when you press the search button?
You may want to to unistall and reinstall the app
When I press the search button. And suggested search is on in the preferences.

Ok, my suggestion would be to uninstall the app, and then re-install it. Do you know if Google Search is installed as a data app or a system app? Easy way to check: go to settings > applications > manage applications > all, find google search, and try to uninstall it, if you can, it is data, if not, it is system.
Its system lol

Do you have root? You are also going to need a file explorer with root permissions such as root explorer or es file explorer
Yes I'm rooted. Yes I have file explorer w/ root access

Alright, go to /system/app and delete the google search app. BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN THE NAME OF THE FILE, YOU WILL NEED IT LATER. Go to the market, install google search. This actually may work, press the search button to see if you get anything. If not, copy the app from /data/app to /system/app and be sure to name it what it was before. Reboot and it should work
does anyone no how to make an apk install? for example miui music someone gave me the apk and it installed fine but I downloaded the miui rom and extracted it and took out the miui music but it wont install and I cant use root explorer cuz im not rooted is there something special you have to do to the apk so it will install?

I believe that u have to re-sign the Apk .... if u search the forums or Google it u may find an answer.... also if u search u might find an updated miui music apk.
That is all
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
Indeed...The apk needs to be signed before it's installed. Download zipsigner 2 from the market. Put the .apk on your phone, sign it, and install it with your file manager.
I just get astro file manager and go to whatever folder it saved to

No problem.....I'll give it a shot.
One other thing......Did you uninstall your old Miui Music app before you installed this one, or did you install over the top of it? Sometimes it makes a difference.
I need the firewall and data monitor from MIUi.
Installing the apk or moving to system didnt worked.
File Manager got easily installed though.
Any way to install Antispam.apk (Firewall app) and Monitor.apk ?
Why don't you install any alternate app from play store.
Did you set correct permissions when moved to /system/app
??

So I'm rooted with the De La Vega method and it works great. As we all know, the new google maps v7 will not allow you to do a lot of things that the old versions would allow. I've found some older APKs from v6 and previous, but when I go to install, it will not allow it. Any ideas why, or how to get around it?
I'm interested in this as well. Plus the navigation voice is so robot like and it can hardly pronounce street names properly.

You can change the speech from Samsung to Google speech engine, sounds MUCH better. The method is somewhere in these forums.

I'd imagine maps is a system app, so using a file explorer go to system> apps and replace the maps apk with your older one, change permissions and reboot.

How do I change permissions? I've tried using ES File Explorer but I can't replace that system file.

Sorry I'm not familiar with es file explorer. I use root explorer and just long press the file and select change permissions. Maybe try changing the extension of the original apk to something like .bak before you copy the new apk then you could always go back if you wanted the newest version again.

Once I downloaded the correct app to allow permission changes, I was able to rename the v7 file, copy over the v6 file and rebooted with no problems. However, the application didn't show up in the app list. So, I had to then install that same APK and everything works great. I now have all of my stored maps back!
What can't u do on v7?

Where did you locate previous versions of Maps? I am tired of current version of Maps forcing me to allow WIFI and Network Locations to work. Just a battery hog doing that.

There are several places online that have archives. I also had my APKs all backed up in such an event.
If you get blackout updater (Google play) or in Android themes. The blacked out version of Google maps is the last V6 version. I was glad to have the map view back.

Is there a repository for all the stock apks? I used root uninstaller to uninstall a few apps, like trip advisor and flipboard. I keep getting random errors that those two apps couldn't run. Thoughts?
Thanks!

You haven't deleted all the files associated with flipboard and trip advisor if you get FC's.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
If you uninstalled them correctly, they should not be around anymore to FC. Both trip advisor and flipboard each have a single apk associated with it.
Have you tried rebooting to see if the FCs go away? If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall them, reboot, and then use titanium backup to remove them.

Delete the apps files from data/data folder and see if that helps.
Thanks for the tips, guys. I ended up reinstalling. I'll give the titanium back up uninstall a try.

After that, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache
