Google Search Bar Missing. Accidentally deleted LG search bar apk? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Google search bar is missing. I was deleting lg apps that I thought was unnecessary via titanium backup and now its gone.
I still have Google Now though. I just don't have the search bar, and its not available in the widget section.
Does anyone have the apk so I can reinstall it?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, i'm attaching a google search apk , hope it works for you :cheers:

[Q] hardware search button works inapp but does not open the google search app

Hey guys !
i need your help fixing the google search app on my defy with cm7.
when i press the sreach hardware button, the google search app does not start. at longpress it offers me to star dragonGO, Voice search by google and one other app.
the sreach button does work in the market or other app.
with the default rom i could start the search app with the button. is this possible with cm7 aswell?
i flash the gapps zip to get all google apps. then i installed the updates via market. in the original nor the updated one the button works.
thanks sofar!
See if google search is installed (market)
If it is, go to settings > input > ... (look for something with search button)
Ok thank you man! I found the setting. when i checked the button for custom app it could _NOT_ select google search app, but unchecking did the job!
thanks again
I tried this solution and it did not work.
Thinking a fresh install may do it, I deleted it manually from the system dir using root explorer and then it would not even install from the market for some error from the market.
I found a different solution in case anyone has this issue. Once you have it installed as a user app (I copied an apk from a rom zip and pasted it into the /data/app dir) open Titanium backup and find Google Search. Long-press on it and select the option that says "convert to system app"
Done. The search button should now open the google search app from the home screen now.
PS: If GS is already is already installed as a "System app" app long-press and select "Convert to User app" and see if it works at that point.

[Q] Store problem [solved]

Hi guys,
I've just installed w8 on my laptop, but I have a problem with the store:
I can see just a few apps and it doesn't show, for example, wikipedia or multimedia 8. Also if I search them in the store, it doesn't find anything.
The only way to install them is to get the link from google search.
some ideas?
EDIT:
solved. In preferences, make it easier to find apps in my language ->no

Dinjin, managed to install that but no reappearance of the icon nor automatic launching of Play from in-app buttons in Google apps.
The only change is that I can adjust , within settings, a new app called Google Play Services. Is this what Play normally show as in the settings?
Install gapps from goo http://goo-inside.me/gapps#table

Hi, sambaselect...
You don't specify if you're rooted, have an unlocked bootloader... or if you're running unrooted factory stock.
There is one thing you could try... Boot your Nexus 7 into safe mode - LONG PRESS the SHUTDOWN TABLET option in the POWERDOWN menu. (or the REBOOT option if you're running a custom ROM that supports an extended POWERDOWN menu).
You will be given the option to reboot the tablet with all user installed apps (ie, from PlayStore) temporarily suspended... and just the core Android apps (Gmail, Maps, etc).. and hopefully PlayStore will be available in the app drawer. If it is, 'drag' a shortcut to one of the home screens and reboot.
Sometimes, if you have a lot of apps installed, it's easy to 'lose' an app in the forest of of icons in the app drawer - you can't 'see the wood for the trees', to use a phrase.
Safe Mode is a good way of quickly seeing those apps installed to the folder /system/app and what might be missing.
Hope this helps....
Rgrds,
Ged.
PS., if you are rooted, you can use a rooted file manager like X-Plore File Manager (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en) to check the contents of /system/app... you need to be looking for something called PHONESKY.APK - which is the PlayStore app.

Help please!

So yesterday I was browsing the Google Play Store when I noticed Google keyboard wasn't installed even though I have it so I attempt to install it again and it failed. I thought it was just a bug so I left it and the next day when I restarted my phone Google keyboard just disappeared. I can't use it anymore I can only third-party keyboard from playstore. Help please I need to get Google keyboard back because I'm so far not liking third-party keyboard. I don't know what I did wrong but tried to fix it by wiping system data and reflash the ROM and G apps but that didn't fix it. So please help me fix this problem thank you in advance.

It says "this app conflict with the existing app by the same name" Google keyboard doesn't show up on titanium backup though.
In your apps settings, check for disabled apps and see if it's there to reenable

How do I do that I'm running cm 14.1 android 7.1 and I don't see that option. BTW if I select show system apps, it's not in there either. BTW I just tested, disable apps will show up on titanium back-up as frozen and a option to defrost but google keyboard isn't even in titanium back-up.
