Google Search by Voice v1.4.1 install fails

Searched the forum and wiki and can't find anything on this.
Trying hard not be a 'compleet newb'....
Problem: I've tried to download and install the latest update (v1.4.1) to Google Search by Voice. It fails saying it is not correctly signed. I am not able to uninstall it via the Market software. The existing version is present and still works.
I was thinking of manually uninstalling it and then attempting a re-install from the market. Has anyone had any success getting this update to install on CM 4.2.7.1?
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 on my HTC Magic 32B, applied over the flashed and clean-installed 1.6 rooted base - no CM Updater. (Seems to give a better, more stable result - may affect the behaviour of the update).

this stupid error happens because of the test keys or the userdebug keys thay cyanogenmod uses. I would download it somewhere online and use adb to replace the old one wiht the new one. It should work.

Yes I have the same problem with same model phone etc. etc.
I understand the workaround will be the same as Google maps 3.2.1 update but I cannot find up to date "Google search by voice" apk. I was wondering if anyone knows a source that mirrors up to date apps, or could even link a tut about how to get apk's copied out of the phones /tmp folder?

Thanks
I'll check out the package name in the Applications settings and see if I can find it anywhere or somehow capture it. Later....won't have any time until this evening.

That's great I didn't think of that, ill whip out those quotation marks and asterisks for google too. Also later...... 00:20 is not the right time for this....... so tempted......!!!

I fixed the maps.apk problem by going into adb and uninstalling maps.apk and then removing all traces of it. Then I went to marketplace and i downloaded it as normal and it now works perfectly.
Try that with voice search

Do we know what the package name is? Usually something like "com.google.android.apps.xxx" Could try uninstalling through adb. Then re-download from the market?

hello, could u plz share the installer? its not available on the marketplace in my country.
thanks very much

success
Ok, I managed to get Google Search by Voice updated to 1.4.1. I'm no pro and it took ages but it works.
Could a mod advise whether I am allowed to post a link to the apk?
I would be happy to post the steps i took but its not something i have done before and worse still, i used cmd not putty (noob error #1!). So the commands and the order i used them in are lost.
Should have used ubuntu..............
the concept consisted of updating the app and simultaneously using this command while it was downloading
Code:
cp /cache/downloadfile-9.apk /sdcard/download
"9" is only because it is the 9th apk i have downloaded and once the install fails the OS deletes the apk.
(for anyone else it would be different. go into /cache and type ls at the prompt to see what your next number will be)
then rename downloadfile-*.apk to VoiceSearch.apk, remove the original in the phone using adb and replace with the updated app.
I will post again tomorrow with clearer instructions but would much rather post a link to the apk I got, if it is permitted

hmmm. doing an 'adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk' and reinstalling from the market still gives you the unsigned error?

yes it will still give an unsigned error.
that is why you need to copy the apk which android market downloads to /cache before it deletes it, i copied it to /sdcard/download. then install via adb afterwards.
you have to manual install the apk to avoid unsigned error, once you have done this any future updates through market will be fine. Maps updated fine to 3.3 after i manually installed 3.2.1

How?

Any advice on how you did that? I can imagine sitting with finger poised over the enter button in an adb shell.......is that what you did? Or is there a more certain, simple way?
Thanks.

I downloaded the VoiceSearch.apk file and adb pushed it into /system/app on my phone and it works perfectly. The market sees it as installed and valid.
But I inspected my "normal" load phone (which has voice search) and nowhere could i see anything resembling "VoiceSearch.apk".
Where is this file on an un-rooted phone?

getting stock Android keyboard on sense 2.1 ROM

so, it seems as if a lot of people want to get the stock Android keyboard onto sense builds, because they type better, keys larger, word prediction less intrusive, etc.
so, i got it to work, but i don't believe that the voice search for it works.
i attached a LatinIME.apk to the thread, download it and save it to wherever is convenient. I saved it to my desktop.
1. adb push the LatinIME.apk to /system/app
Code:
adb remount
adb install <where you put your LatinIME.apk>
2. go to Settings> Keyboard and Language and make sure Android Keyboard shows up. There's going to be two different Android Keyboards, nevermind that.
3. find any app or place that has a text input box, like chompSMS or your texting app. open up a thread or start a new message
4. tap and HOLD the empty text box, and select Text Input. there should be three choices: Touch Input, Android Keyboard, and Android Keyboard.
5. it could be different for you, but if you select the first Android Keyboard, you'll encounter a force close. If you chose the second Android Keyboard, it should work.
BASICALLY, pick either of the Android Keyboard choices; one will not force close.
now, you can use the Android keyboard on 2.1!
EDIT: there might be only one Android Keyboard, i had two, but your results may vary. Either way, it should work
EDIT2: if the adb install method returns an unexpected error or a failure, try doing an adb push.
Code:
adb remount
adb push <path of LatinIME.apk> /system/app

that's fail for me... I only have on android keyboard show up, and it just FC's.
Running fresh 2.1b

make sure you downloaded the file i attached.. it says 0 views.

well, i've downloaded it twice and it still says 0 views lol

Click to collapse
shows 10 views now....
reported that this works better if you do an install instead of just pushing...
so
Code:
adb install LatinIME.apk

I am using the Eris Leak (Villian3.3) on Hero and on installing I get the following:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Pushing also fails with a'No space left on device error'. I tried some other LatianIME.apk's that I got out of other 2.1 Roms and had the same troubles.
Is there anything I am missing or could try? I really like the android keyboard over the HTC one!
EDIT: If I remove the HTC keyboard and push the attached I end up with no keyboard at all as the apk is not compatible (I'm guessing). I even tried to using a LatinIME from an 2.1 asop Rom thinking it should work! Nope...

did adb install on 2.0b, said successful installed and nothing show up in touch input after reboot.

Worked great!
Thanks!

Off topic
Do you know the name of the 2.1 lockscreen apk? I was going to rip it from the DarchDroid release but I can't find it.

This doesnt work on 2.0b2. Damn, says "not installed"

update
Here's the link for the source code for LatinIME
If anyone want's to play around with it, maybe we can get it to work.
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD
We're missing some resources that are only available in the open source eclair builds.

+1 for this thread. I followed the adb instructions above and successfully installed the stock keyboard to the fresh 2.0b rom the other day but for whatever reason, doing the same thing to damage's new rom gives me the "install unsucessful/failure dialog mentioned above as well. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

if you get an install unsuccessful, try an adb push.
instead of adb install <path of LatinIME.apk>, try this
Code:
adb remount
adb push <path of LatinIME.apk> /system/app
at first it was discovered that the install method would work better, but using adb push worked fine for me. test it out anyone?

Same here using DamageControl. I really want this keyboard.

No luck on Damagecontrol Rom,
I've now tried both pushing and installing following the instructions above on the most recent Damagecontrol v.9999999 and have had no luck with either. I get the same [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE] when I try to install and when I push, it shows the file as having been transfered but it doesn't show up when I long press or in my language & keyboard settings. Anyone have any other suggestions? Any and all help is appreciated.

I tried to install this on a HTC Hero with Villain 3.4 (sense 2.1) and it does not work, the apk is there, but it does not show up.
I've also tried the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk (should be nexux one keyboard with voice control), this shows up in the options, but it does not show up in input method, maybe someone has more luck?

I got the android stock keyboard to work.found the zip file in a thread.just gotta flash it n done.ill look for it n post the link

Here ya go.

Completely excellent! Works fine on Villian3.4. Would prefer the keyboard without the voice search, so I can type a comma without two keypresses... Still beggars can't be choosers!
Thanks very much!
EDIT: Turning voice search off is only an option change away. Perfect! Thanks again.

[FIX] HULU on CM Froyo build - not mine, I take no credit

I did not do this, I only remembered it from when I had my nexus, so I thought I would share here, because I'm sure many of you do not check the nexus forum. It works, 100%, I've tested it myself on build 7 of CM6 nightly.
All credit goes to rcxquake.
Here is the link to the original thread... HERE
Here are his instructions. I just renamed the file so it was a little shorter. my changes are colored.
This is a modified flash apk file that enables you to watch hulu on your rooted, froyo-running android device. It is my project to return to the community. Please only use this fix if you know what you are doing, as I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions:
1.) UNINSTALL FLASH
2.) Download the .apk
3.) adb install nexusflash.apk (or your preferred method of installing the .apk)
4.) apply the ABOUT: DEBUG fix if you haven't already (both fixes are required) (Alternative option provided below)
5.) watch hulu!
The about:debug fix is that in the browser address field, type 'about:debug', without quotes, and then hit 'go'. then, in the browser settings, at the bottom of the settings list you will see 'uastring'. change it to say 'desktop', instead of 'android'
Adam B. has requested I link to his post on a .apk that automatically applies the useragent (step 4), so you don't have to. Find it here. Install his .apk just like you installed nexusflash.apk.
Changelog:
June 17- Updated to Version 10.1.72.7
June 09- Updated to Version 10.1.72.4
Enjoy!
If you don't understand the directions, I suggest you use the SEARCH function. I will absolutely NOT answer questions that you can find the answer to on your own.
QA:
Q: I upgraded to FRF72, and the flash.apk isn't working. What is wrong?
A: You lost root. Root your phone to get this .apk working again.
Q: I am running Froyo on my droid / other non-nexus phone. Will this flash.apk work?
A: Maybe. This apk appears to work on recent froyo roms, but not older.

Its working, I can watch Hulu but its not 100% smooth. Definitely watchable but it gets a little jerky at times. Any idea or is this expected?

C:\Users\me>adb install nexusflash.apk
1430 KB/s (3917376 bytes in 2.674s)
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
so it def. wont work on 2.1.
had to try.

Works great!

Working for me too. Thanks!

Works, but how do you get it full screen?

What is the debug fix?
Sent from my HTC EVO using Tapatalk

bigrick
in the browser address bar, type 'about:debug', then hit the return key, or go, or whatever to enter it and make the browser process it like a web address. then, hit your hard menu key, go to settings, and all the way at the bottom is an option to change the uastring. change it to say 'desktop'

You gotta install the nexusflash apk first bro.
Just wanted to say it works perfectly and I didn't even have to uninstall the old flash. Just installed right over it and did the debug fix.

Installing from Unknown Sources

hey all
I have an Evo and my buddy just got the Inspire. One big thing I noticed is there is no option to enable installing APKs from unknown sources. Ive checked every setting menu and it is nowhere to be seen!
Any info on this? I found a desktop work around, but his swype beta wont work with the desktop workaround.
Thanks!

Att block this, use sideloading or root the phone. If u get the right swype version, it will work with sideload.

the sideloading only got me the installer, but then the installer needs to download the rest of it, and i cant due to the unknown sources. thats really my (well HIS) only problem. i get the installer o there but then cant do **** with it

I had the same problem on my Inspire, but this thread has the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6798357
Since you already have the installer on there (like I did), you just need to follow the instructions in that thread from when you get the blocked install error.
Good luck!

Sideload Wonder Machine is working perfectly for me. Make sure to follow the steps exactly. The only thing I had to do was update my .net framework to the newest version.
Sideload here on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174

so i did get it working and heres how. sideloaded the installer, then sideloaded a backup of MY swype to the phone and tried to install it. it didnt like mine because it wasnt on his license, so i hit get license, the phone kinda freaked out a bit, but i restarted and now it works like a dream no issues. thanks yall, all it took was a little inginuity and 3rd party software hehehe

[Q] Anyway to install SWYPE

Is there anyway of using swype on this phone without going through the root process and loaded a custom ROM?
TIA

You can sign up for the beta at http://swypeinc.com, but since the phone is locked down to keep you from installing non-Market apps, you won't be able to install the file they send you. If you can get your hands on the .apk file for the installation, you can use Sideload Wonder Machine to install it without needing root access.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html
I don't know if it requires root, but I have root and I got mine. lol

Thanks, I will give it a shot

I tried every trick known to man .. lol ... the only way you are going to get swype if it is an ATT phone is to root the phone otherwise they have blocked the option.

I was able to install it via Side Wonder Machine. I must say, it's amazing.

Install APK's easily
This is the best way at least for me. Super easy and the software has many other uses.
(P.S. I stole this... it's from some android forum)
1. Download Droid Explorer for your system. http://de. codeplex. com/ (remove spaces from link)
2. Now, go to your phone. Settings> Applications> Development > USB Debugging.
3. Make sure you downloaded the drivers for the captivate then plug in your phone and select PC connect and mount the phone.
4. Now open Droid Explorer and connect the device. Right click and select batch install.
5. Now a screen should pop up and you should select the APKs you would like to install and it is self explanatory from there on out.

Go here

This was posted in the other thread about keyboards for the inspire. It's exactly what I did and My phone is 100% stock. No root or anything.

Followed the AndroidCentral method last night and it worked great!

It works like a champ!!!!
I love this forum!

Thanks as well. I should be getting my Inspire tomorrow. I'm so used to swyping on my captivate this should make my life easier. Can't wait to sideload this on.

Does anyone know if its possible to use the swype from the motorola's? Like the atrix, droid x etc. I really like the theme of that one.

Nope, none of these worked
The Android Central method--i don't get past the ADB command, computer doesn't know what to do with that...
I can sideload fine and got the installer on my phone but it won't download the actual swype.apk. Instructions say to wait even though it's an error... Waited half hour and still no swype.apk appeared in downloads folder.
Took the swype.apk provided in this forum. Installed fine but out of date... which is fine. I'm happy to get officially from Swype. Tried the swype installer now I have swype (out-of-license) installed. Installer said you need to update license. Ok fine. Great! Tried and came up with error.
I love swype that I had on my captivate. I would pay for the app. Just not sure I'm willing to root my two day old phone just to get swype on it...

I used the androidcentral method. Worked fire me, no root. Just sign up for the beta on swype's website. Then go from there. I think I was stuck in the same part as you. Basically you just continue on with the process don't worry about the part that says wait or error.
You will get the updated installer direct from swype website.
