Hey guys, these instructions are based around Cyanogenmod 6 RC2, but should work fine for other ROMs if you've had trouble installing the updated Voice Search from the Market.
You MUST be running 2.2 (Froyo) for this to work however!
Updated this with instructions on how to fix the Google Search widget as well. Thanks to klinster, devlogic and OhioDroid.
Hey everybody, I don't know if anybody else is having this issue, but the new version of Google's Voice Search released today wouldn't install on my G1 (running CM6RC2) due to an incorrect signature. Anyway, there's a quick workaround, you just have to uninstall the voice search installed by default in CM6.
Anyway, if you have adb, plug into usb and run:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ ~/Desktop/app/
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell rm -f /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
If you don't, open Terminal Emulator on your phone (This does NOT backup the .apk's, so proceed at your own risk!) and run:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
rm -f /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
Your old out of date versions are now removed. Now go to the Market and install "Voice Search" and "Google Search".
Anyway, this is all pulled from the Cyanogenmod Wiki and most have you probably have already figured this out. In case you were stuck though, hopefully this helped you resolve the problem.
What's working:
Google Search Box (Reply if you have problems with listed method)
Most Voice Actions
What isn't:
"set alarm" action seems to rely on an as-of-yet unreleased Clock app from google. I am unable to confirm this as I do not have access to a stock Nexus One.
-Thanks to klinster for backup line for adb
-Thanks to devlogic and OhioDroid for search widget fix
-Thanks to BinaryMan, fixed typo in adb commands
wow works perfect thank you!!
I was just thinking that someone should post this. Thanks for taking the time to write it up!
I just removed the voice search using the terminal emulator. Downloaded it from the market and it works fine without having to remove the quick search box.
everytime I run:
pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
I get "failure"
Any ideas?
Thanks so much! This gave new life to my phone. I used terminal and after a few fails (my typing) entering commands I got it to work
I followed the directions and installed it successfully, but none of the new features seem to be working for me. Note to self doesnt work, text message doesn't work, email doesn't work. Every time I do it, it tries to google search whatever I said.

This is exactly what I'm experiencing too. I thought I was using the wrong syntax at first but it isn't that. Directions, search and calling work but the "note to self" , "send text to" and e-mail don't work.
It's case sensitive.
I got it to instal from market. But no widget. Is this correct?
on my myTouch 3G with Cyanogen 6, everything works except the search widget, and the physical search button.
the widget will only let you type 1 letter before dissapearing, then when you hit back, it's still in it's "searching" position at the top of the screen.
If you hold down the physical search button, it does bring up the voice search, but 1 tap no longer brings up the regular search box. I would REALLY like to see a fix for this soon, cause that's something I use probably 10-20 times a day.
Alright, if you've been having troubles with this bit:
Code:
pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
Try running it as com.android.google.voicesearch instead.
The original documentation I found listed this com.android.google as the correct form, but it did not work on mine and several other people's roms. You may have the "correct" install listing on your rom however, so this could help.
The search widget should come with the Google Search .apk, and if you have not installed the latest Google Search version, the widget's voice command may not work. Try starting a voice action from the "Voice Search" app in your app drawer instead of the widget.
Lastly, the hard search button is currently not working and I do not know of a fix. It may be something that has to be rolled into a custom ROM later, as HTC and Google probably never considered support for hardware as old as the G1/MT3G :-/

I had the same problem. It was driving me nuts, and I just assumed the widget was worthless. But with the new apps, you get icons in your app drawer. One for Google Search and one for Voice Search. So I just put the two icons on my homescreen side by side. They take up half the space of the widget and work exactly the same, since tapping the Google Search icon starts the search bar just like the widget, and it works.
So, maybe not as elegant as having the search widget, but it takes up less space, looks nice, and works perfectly.
Are we waiting on an updated music player as well? When i use "listen to" it will only pull up pandora and not any of the music on my sd card.
Anyone else?
ty for the write up, worked perfectly thru terminal.
now i just have one question that may or may not be considered related but i tend to think it is.
how do a reasign apps to long press on buttons.
like when i long press the green phone button, it takes me to a bluetooth voice dialer which doesnt work, id like to set it to the actualy voice dialer then does work.
when i long press the search button i do get the brand new voice search application pop up which works amazingly, i have already tested out mutliple commands like text or navigate to.
Are there any issues with updating the voice search thing only and keeping the old version of the Google Search widget?
I got rid of the on screen search widget since I didn't see a point in dedicating the screen real estate to it if I could bring it up with a single button press anyway. However since the new one doesn't work with the button this is kind of a bummer
Thanks, worked like a charm on my G1
Thanks guys.

Hey can anyone tell my why when i install a program, after i reboot my phone, it doesnt display the app name in the all programs list. After rooting I installed Terminal Emulator, Meebo, AdFree and PicMe.
After I reboot, I no longer see the app name but the package name.
Terminal Emulator is displaying com.android.term
Picme is displaying com.bw.picme
Meebo is displaying com.meebo
but adfree is displaying AdFree.. it's perfectly fine
any ideas? it's just a little frustrating

Thank you, did a search, but wasn't getting the right results.
Yesterday I saw this picture on another forum:
It appears to be a bluetooth keyboard driver for the android, and the screenshot already shows a successfully connected keyboard with what seems to be some test input text.
Unfortunately no apk no nothing.
Here is the thread on xda-devs discussing this:

And here is where I've found the picture:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-droid-eris/1158-external-bluetooth-keyboard-droid.html
Let's try to identify this software and get our hands on the apk, for the major good of our android devices !
http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html
Does the Mytouch have a HID profile? This keyboard implies such.

Maybe a stupid remark, but in the picture in OP, the bluetooth symbol doesn't appear to have any devices connected.

I think the app is not using the google api since the bluetooth functionality provided is so limited:

So maybe this explains the icon's state.

No. Read the page more carefully. It clearly states that the MT3G does not currently support the HID profile.
I wonder if the majority of Android users are rooting their devices. Seems like a must have for the more exotic applications.

Yes, I worded poorly. I more accurately meant, "Has the MT3G been hacked to support the HID profile?" The claim at in the ad implied they could do it, but that's hardly confirmation that it works.
Subsequent searches yielded the two links I added in the edit. Indeed some have gotten a HID profile to work.
So I just got my logitech bluetooth keyboard connected to my Magic, running excellently

...well, what about the reverse? Is it possible to use the Dream device keyboard via bluetooth to communicate with, let's say, a PS3 for example?
(be nice, I really don't have a clue lol)

that's awesome. I got it to work with my iGo stowaway keyboard but only briefly. Do I have to type the hciconfig commands in a terminal or adb shell each time I want to connect? Looks like an opportunity to put an app in the Market
There's no need to push the files mentioned in the link. At least for CM 4.2.5. My Apple BT keyboard works just using the hidd commands. Now we need to write a script to do this, using solely the hidd --connect command, with the appropriate device MAC, then linked to a shortcut on one of the home screens. Very nice.
edit: typo correction
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486486
Easy to make a shell script shortcut with the program here. Do...
hidd --connect MAC
with su, then link to a shortcut on the desktop via a long press.

There really is no easier way unless someone writes an app or a script to automate the commands.
Not to be a **** but if you don't understand the instructions on that blog then you are really risking seriously damaging your device by doing things that are on this site. I am surprised you were able to root...
Wow, this works perfectly.
For total noobs - if you follow the instructions from the link - before running the commands, you obviously have to:
# chmod +x hcitool
# chmod +x hidd
(otherwise ull get permission denied)
also you might want to change system back to ro when you are done
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I really wonder why Google doesnt put any effort in developing HID bluetooth service for Android. Would be really cool to be able to use different types of input devices (especially for games/typing).
I've downloaded the Nav Launcher in the HOPE it would be as simple as that.
Unfortunately not.
I'd have a go at it myself but Iknow as much about coding as I do Nuclear Fusion.....

The maps that Brut.all and TAPP put together over in the G1/dream dev forum should allow for this and work properly.
I haven't tested it (as I have no personal need) ... but it *should* work on N1.
~enom~
It does work!
Downloaded Nav Launcher
Remove MAPS via ADB
Reboot
Launch NAV LAUNCHER
install MAPS from Nav Launcher prompt
Off you go!
What? Have you gotten google navigation to work without data by preloading it? I am in certain need of this function, so please let me know if this is possible.
yep.
Follow my steps above and enjoy Google Nav outside the US!!
Do all the functions work now or is it still half broken?
So are the no voice and no text problems still there? (that would render it useless...)
Also, is the Google Maps app downloaded from Nav Launcher the same as the one preinstalled on the Nexus (ie with the Labs features like compass, terrain, layer button and scale bar)? I think it's version 3.3.1.
IT looks like the Maps still have all the layers....etc.
Also I did a quick 3 mile journey yesterday and voice was working fine along with rerouting.
However one thing I didn't check was the next turning function i.e. shows on screen that i need to turn left next.
I'll check it today, but it is FULLY usable.
Latitude and everything works.
can u pls help us with a link? can´t find the right one
sorry. but does it required for the device to be root? and what is adb?
You need root in order to remove the existing maps app however on the G1 it was possible to simply install this one alongside if you didn't have root. Not sure that's the same for the nexus but I don't see why not.
ADB is Android Debug Bridge and essentially lets you connect your phone to your computer via USB (BUT NOT mount the memory card) and then execute commands on it.
You don't need to use it for this as if you have root, Nav Launcher will uninstall the old one for you and if you don't, you can't uninstall the old one anyway (which is all adb is used for in this instance).
EDIT: By the way, I just installed this on my rooted Nexus (i'm in the UK) and it worked perfectly, even integrates with Car Home correctly! I uninstalled with ADB first cos I forgot Nav Launcher will do this for you, then installed Nav Launcher from the market. Simple and quick and all fully working!

UPDATE 10-10-10:
This guide is no longer needed, as full ROMs are now available for the EVO on MetroPCS.
-MetroDroid v1.0 By Bloodykiller86 (Ready to run)
-Jiminy v2 By deathsled(Needs Token's Metro flash V3)
I wanted to post a full working solution for MMS for the HTC EVO on MetroPCS. This is a mix of excerpts from other guides and ideas all in one place.
UPDATE 09-07-10:
This method is no longer ROM specific, you can use almost any ROM!!
Credits:

Avalaunchmods
Others, that i missed or don't know...sorry
What this can do:
-SMS
-MMS
-Web
-Voice search (with v2.0.1 and up ONLY)
-Voice mail notifications
-Google apps that sync (news, weather)
-Browse the market (DL is still WiFi only)
-Working Froyo ROM
What this can't do:
-Visual Voice Mail (i think you need to sign up for it from metro, @ $3 mo)
-DL from market with 1X Metro service
-4G
-Print money
-Grant wishes, even if one wish is for a iPhone4
Software needed:
-Rooted EVO
-Working EVO ROM
-Ava-FroyoV2RC3 ROM (thread link below)LINK with wifi fix(still fastest way to get it working)
-metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip (thread link below)
-Cdma-Workshop (Any Build...google it )
-Qpst v2.7 build 323 LINK PASS=cdma-king.com
-Htc Hero DIAG Drivers LINK
-Htc Sync LINK
-ClockWorkMod/Rom Manager (Free Market DL)
-Autostart (Free market DL)
-Titanium Backup (Free market DL) Optional!
You will need someone to add your ESN to Metros inventory... search Ebay, craigslist, or local stores...NOT corporate stores!
Android market ONLY works on wifi with this setup on a 1X metroPCS network. BUT, you can download apps from SlideME.org WITHOUT wifi... they have a market type app you can download on their website.
BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA FIRST!!!!!!
PART 1:
1. Press ##DIAG# (##3424#) on your phone You will see a screen Pop Up Thats Normal
2. Now plug The phone up to the computer and it will try and find the drivers but it will fail or ask you to locate the drivers manually so make sure you remember where you unzipped the files
3. Once you have that setup Go to Cdma-Workshop Go To the port the phone is on and Read From the Phone and go to the Security Tab.....and On the Spc Section Read The lock Code and write it to back to the phone so it says unlocked Then make the code 000000 and rewrite the code so it says sucess.
4. Now Close Cdma-Workshop and Open QPST Configuration Click On The Ports Tab and Add New Port ( Make Sure Show Serial and Usb/QC Diag Ports Only is Unchecked) and Add The Port Of Your Hero.

PART 2:
Download Rom Manager from the Market.
Download Autostart Root from the market
Put the "metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip" on the root of your sdcard.
Open Rom Manager and select "Install ROM from sdcard".
It will give you a list of items on your sdcard.. select "metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip"
DO NOT SELECT WIPE DATA, but you may select backup ROM if you want. You are not installing a ROM, just some patch files.

No need for anycut proxy setup with token419's flash install....
Quote form Token419's thread on what his flash does:
Requirements:
1. Rooted Rom that supports IPTABLES and has been flashed and booted once
2. Download the file for your carrier from below
3. Flash the file you dowloaded for your carrier from your recovery console (i.e. Amon Ra, Clockwork etc.)
4. Download and install "Autostart (root)" from blank-online.eu in the Marketplace
5. After the phone reboots choose "Always Allow" to the SU prompt
6. Reboot (some froyo roms take 2 reboots)
7. Done
What this flash doesYou don't need to do any of this, it is just outlining what the flash file does)
1. Remove any instances of:
/system/bin/u2nl
/system/xbin/sqlite3
/data/opt/autostart.sh
/data/eri.xml
2. Push and set appropriate Permissions on:
/system/bin/u2nl (the program that makes routing traffic through the proxy possible)
/system/xbin/sqlite3 (some roms include this, but the permissions may not be set correctly)
/data/eri.xml (used to change the Carrier Display name on the lock screen and notification bar)
/data/opt/autostart.sh (used set the iptables and u2nl settings at boot)
3. Drop database tables and replace them with appropriate Carrier Settings in:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db (the database that the MMS program looks at for carrier settings)
4. Updates to proper MNC and Carrier name in build.prop

PART 3:
Using the Mms.apk from the incredible, you will be able to send MMS.
Download the Mms.apk from below.
Using adb push you will need to replace the Mms.apk that on the phone with this one.
Start a command prompt:
Code:
>adb remount
>adb push c:\Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
>adb reboot
I am not a ADB master, but this worked for me, if someone wants to suggest a better/cleaner solution. Feel free
Once the phone has restarted, open the messaging app. Try to send a MMS (use a buddy or your email). It should send.
Now for the bugs:
-Once a SMS/MMS has sent, you cant view the conversation threads or read new SMS or MMS.... just says loading forever.
-You cant send MMS with wifi on, just turn it off to send. (looking into fixing that)
Workaround:
Once you have sent a MMS and you can confirm it working. Download Handcent from the market. You will be able to view SMS and MMS threads with handcent. But you can ONLY send MMS with the OEM messaing app. If you send with the handcent, it will send a SMIL.XML file with the image, and the person getting it will most likely not be able to view it.
RECAP:
-Send MMS with messaging app
-View SMS/MMS with handcent
-Send SMS with handcent
I know this sux, but it does work!! Hopfully after MetroPCS starts the android plan, we wont have any problems.
EDIT:
Anyone having problems with voice mail notifications, here is the fix.
Using adb push you need to push the VVM.apk from below to the system/app folder on the phone. And remove the Sprint_VVM.apk app.
Start a command prompt:
Code:
>adb remount
>adb push c:\VVM.apk /system/app/VVM.apk
>adb shell rm /system/app/Sprint_VVM.apk
>adb reboot
Now you will need Voicemail notification app from the market, it free...
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.uk-co-extorian-voicemailnotifier-jAjiz.aspx
I have confirmed this method working with these ROMs:
-Fresh EVO (all)
-OMJ (all)
Now you should have working MMS, WEB and google apps (market still WiFi DL only)

Yeah...i get a network error trying to get my AOL.... but i just goto web mail and check it.
Looks cool but I'll wait until it can print money and transform into a jet and fly to the private island it built for me, otherwise I don't care

try setting up aol to push to gmail and gmail to the phone, exchange activesync schedule, as items arrive, i set mine to every hour for batt life.
If you have a yahoo account, change settings to yahoo asia and you can get the free option to push mail.
Hope this helps

UPDATE 8/1/10
Using the Ava FroyoV2RC3: as of today, i am getting "service denied" message when sending a MMS..... web and sync apps work just fine.
In other words, this solution does not get MMS working. In addition, the use of Anycut isn't really required if the autostart and u2nl solution is correctly implemented.
We really need to consolidate these procedures and improve existing solutions as opposed to coming up with additional partial solution threads. As I mentioned in another thread, everything but MMS has been working for the EVO on Cricket and Metro for some time now. The only real challenge at this point is MMS.

Better then noting at all..... At the time of writing this guide, i had sent at least 10 MMS and confirmed receipt of said MMS's, form on network and off network users, even MMS-ed some messages to my own email! EVERY THING WORKED 100%!!

Yes, that's why i sited other threads...DUH!
You are MORE then welcome to come up with YOUR own solution.....
i should have a new flash up soon that specificly targets backend MMS stuff, i hope its exactly whats needed for you all.
Just waiting for word back from whiterabbit about some mods i did to his updated script.
The new updates from him that i will incorporate will be a considerably better, and mine helps with "in network" networking, then sends anything else out via u2nl. Hope he approves my mods and then i can start work.
So far i have full TCP and ICMP traffic working via the proxy.
I was having some issues on cricket so i decided to make some mods and walah im up 100% of the time. I too was having sporadic mms working. I think it was because we were directing all traffic to u2nl which forwarded to the proxy, then it hit the MMS server, whereas with my new mods if the MMS server is available in the local network inside the proxy, it gets sent there directly.
Ill post an update when i update my thread with a new flash
Thanks token419!!
I look forward to trying your new script.
Why
For those of you which attempted this solution and are unaware, this does not provide working internet, is buggy, at best, and is Rom-dependent. MMS will be resolved and added to my tutorial as soon as I have time to iron it out.
Everything, except for MMS, has been working on the EVO since I posted posted a tutorial weeks ago.
Not to bash this tutorial - but I must say, working MMS and broken Internet is not what most people are looking for.
Cheers!
Among the slight annoyances I have with touchwiz, I really don't like Samsung's keyboard. If I disable it in input methods, it only stays disabled until I actually use the other keyboard/input method I have selected.
It turns itself back on and gives me a notification to select input method. As it's a samsung app, it can't be disabled in app settings. Would it be safe to just delete it completely? I don't think there's an option to disable the notification popup when you have multiple input methods turned on. extreme phone ocd
edit: nvm I guess, yolo deleted it, now to get rid of sfinder and QC in notification menu

I'm unrooted and I disabled the keyboard via the ADB hide command. I'm guessing it can also be done using the app package disabler.

Did it stay hidden? Can you outline the steps to do this?
Yes, it stays hidden. Out of my memory, it goes along these lines; enable USB debugging in developer settings, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal window and type:
adb shell
pm hide <name of the package to hide>
The "hide" command is supposedly new for lollipop, and is the equivalent of "block" which used to work in Kitkat. This can be done for other bloat as well and I've disabled a few other annoyances like this. Can't remember the name of the TouchWiz keyboard package right now (it's nothing logical like com.samsung.keyboard, but it's in there somewhere). I think the command for listing all packages is "pm list packages".
There are plenty of guides out there if you google it. It's really nice to be rid of that annoying notification.
Awesome. I will try this. Thank you so much.

Is it possibly com.samsung.InputEventApp?

Nope, mine was com.sec.android.inputmethod.
That did it. You are so awesome. Thank you.
Could this work on a Mac? I can't seem to get my device online when trying to run adb
I'm not a mac user, but I don't see why it wouldn't. ADB should actually work better on a mac than on Windows. Make sure you've enabled USB debugging under Developer Options on your phone and that you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed.
I solved this issue by using Titanium Backup (rooted), click [Backup/Restore] button on top, look for 'Samsung Keyboard 4.0' then click 'Freeze'
There is a perfect app to disable any Samsung app without being rooted.
Its "Package Disabler Pro" on Google Play store.
Cost is $1.5 but it's extremely simple to use.
I searched for Samsung keyboard, found the package and disabled it. So simple !
No more Samsung keyboard, which compared to Swiftkey is very basic, absolutely not attractive and made only for Chinese girls with very thin fingers.
I'm still playing with adb shell ....
"pm list packages" doesn't show anything similar to Samsung Keyboard. Please, what is the name of this damned service!?
