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.
I see a lot of people looking to have the launcher with the new 4.4 factory image so I decided to share.
Google pushed an update to Search today that provides GEL functionality for all devices running 4.1+.
Here's how to get it done:
THIS WORKS ON 4.1+. YES YOU READ THIS RIGHT.
1) Download the launcher APK.
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0-C-WV5dUiETFRjeThJVnBpRTA/edit?usp=sharing
Dropbox mirror: https://db.tt/72JTuIkc
The source of this APK is from Android Police mirrored on my google drive. If you don't trust the download you may find it there.
2) Enable installation of APKs from unknown sources. Since this isn't coming from the market. Android will kindly remind you its dangerous. Settings > Security > Uncheck "Unknown Sources".
3)Use a file explorer or similar to navigate to and install the GEL apk.
4)Tap your home soft key and choose the Launcher option (looks like a blue house).
This should get you set up. If you decide you want to change back to the old you can go to settings > home and choose whichever you please.
Hope this helps. Enjoy!

For some reason it didn't want to make that directory public. Link should be fixed. Sorry about that!:silly:
Hello mates.
Yesterday I read somewhere that LG has a built-in permission manager and how to set it... unfortunately that guide was incorrect (wrong activity to discover)
so I started to looking for this activity and finally I've found it...
everything it's easy to do and with no risk.
BTW everything you do it's on you
NO ROOT NEEDED
Let's start:
1- Download from the playstore QuickShortcutMaker and open it
2- Look for setting and tap on it
3- Look for the activity call "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity" and tap on it
4- Tap on TRY and you will see if it works
5- If you could open this HideSetting just go back and tap on "CREATE"
6- On your home you are able to find this shortcut and set your permission without using 3rd parts app
(you can also unistall QuickShortcutMaker )
Here some screenshots
Can't find "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryAct ivity"

write "Access Lock" in the search bar after set "normal search" instead of incremental search
Download from the playstore " App Ops " and open it, it's simpler !
It's not stock app I think... Personally I avoid to install another app if I have one already installed, second I think that the activity is already on so if you use it or not it will continue to drain battery (also 0,0002%) so why double my drain? Anyway it's true... There are apps that do it better, I chosen this one that also work with no root
Unfortunately I am unable to find this in shortcut creator. Could you please advise? I was looking for com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity and for Access Lock both brings nothing
Edit: the only solution I found out is installing app ops and install required pack because LG somewhere messed with Access Lock or deleted it from firmware.
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
When i got my axon 7 the thing who miss the more for me was Daydream Night Clock , in this thread someone give a solution ( link not allowed i'm new on xda see on bottom of thread) and it worked when i was on 6.0.1.
I have reseted my device after upgrading to 7.1.1 and now the tutorial seem to not work anymore, someone have a solution ? I have tried many 3rd party app and no one make the job like google's one.
ZTE why have you removed this fonction... and do not disturb tile....
1. Install the google clock app.
2. Disable the stock clock app using the stock theme
3. Install Nova Launcher or other app that lets you create activities(shortcuts to access the hidden android modules).
4. Create a shortcut too : settings.settings$DreamSettingsActivity
5. Use your new shortcut to enable the day dream setting on charge/dock.
6. Done.
Anyone know how to enable it ?
