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 am using the international version of the g2 and its rooted , I've tried installing few apk files it doesn't work , i ts not the "unknown sources" option and I don't have screen filter , it just doesn't work suddenly , last apps Install were : echo notification , maxthon browser and push bullet before that i didn't have a problem ...
it's probably one of the apps you have stopping you pressing the install button
had it happen to me a while a go on a nexus 4, a screen colour filter adjustment app was the culprit. I know you say you don't have one so I guess another app is impeding it
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
Oh so I'm stumped on this one....first off I'm rooted and running a TEKXODUS Hybrid n4 rom.i have the newest version of playstore installed that I installed with luckypatcher.apk in witch I have done many times with out a problem until now..the problem is any app that I've ever downloaded from the store in the past that I want to install again on my phone is none existent...when I open the store and type the app into the search bar it will even bring it up as a suggestion but when I tap it it will take me to all the similar apps to the one I'm looking for but the specific one I'm looking for is not to be found....anyware!...the only time I can find said app is if I go into (my apps) and tap the all option and scroll thrue the thousands of apps iv installed in the past. ....any ideas?..and thanks in advance
I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
