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.

lol that is exactly what i did. up, enter, up, enter, up, enter until the shell spat out that "downloadfile-9.apk does not exist" or however it puts it.

However it will not install using android interface, adb only.

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?

good to know for the future. thanks.

seems like a simple question to me, how to install .apk files

I have searched and searched. I've used this website since my HTC 6700 and usually searching yields the answer i need. . . ..
I have a rooted CDMA Hero running fresh 1.1
but HOW do i install simple programs
i do not have apps2SD because i don't need it. . . .
is it as simple as putting the .apk on the memory card and going to file explorer *on the phone* and running it?
thanks i know this is simple but i do not know how to do it.

yes. it is that simple.

Yes, you can do that or you can install it using ADB
Code:
adb install <app name>.apk
Or you can use HTC Sync or some other 3rd party software to do it.

Astro Works too.. but you must enable 3rd party apps in settings

thanks everyone, i just didn't want to put it on my card and have the phone go crazy not recognizing where the program was.
and why do i have to wait 5 minutes between posts? I've had an account for 2 years.

Time doesn't matter, its all about the # and this was only your 4th.

SORRY!
the application package installer (process com.android.packageinstaller) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
so just clicking on it and running it didn't work, i guess i'll try through adb

Failure [installed_failed_conflicting_provider]

What app are you trying to install?

i think its just the one apk i'm trying to install is bad, just did it with 3 other ones and its ok.

Lol. I thought that might be why they were being installed from the SD card. Keep in mind, some .apk are not all meant to be run on our Heros. Some are specific to other Android builds, mainly all but our Cupcake 1.5. Lol

[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.

What is the debug fix?

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.
Much love , signed howdyace

xD. It won't affect play store, just ignore him.
Umm... I have no idea whats your problem. I think it could be slow internet or a proxy blocking it.

I will revive this thread, and yes, TabletUI can affect Play store using CyanogenMod patch
I saw something that will help you. It's depend on your rom.
You can do this:
1. Open your file manager. Anything will do the affair.
2. Open /system/etc/hosts
3. You see 74.125.93.113, 127.201.26.224 or 127.122.124.92 on one of the lines? Put a # behind it. ( If it's a different number, do not mind it. Put a # behind it anyway. IGNORE THE LINE WHO HAVE 127.0.0.1! It's okay! )
4. Reboot! ( Somebody says that you need to do a Factory Reset, it's false )

I don't get it... First, are you sure you are putting a # behind the line, not in front of it? Big difference... Second, it sounds like you are saying ALL the lines should be commented out, except the loopback. Why the heck would you do that?

Because theres no need to have that anyway.
Putting a sharp before the line "canel" the load of the parameter who have it. If you put it after, he will think that the ip adress actually finish with a sharp, and redirect you there. But theres no website with this, so therefore, it will cause an error.

there something error in your rom
you should install a new rom or stock

Write on PDF .apk?

I'm still using a Note 2.. I was wondering if anyone could rip and upload the Write on PDF .apk, I'm curious if it will work on my device, it would be really useful as I'm not sure of any good alternatives.
Thanks!

I don't think the apk by itself will work right away as it might be missing some libraries required for this function to work. But im on my way to test this and will update this post with results .

I think you're right on both accounts. Extracted the apk from my stock ROM & tried to install it on my N2, won't install (parsing package error), I believe it is only 64bit compatible. My N2 doesn't even show the app's icon.
My N5 had it stock but I hated the app & did not use it. I'm on a debloated ROM now & tried it, won't install either so maybe it does require something else. I get an "app not installed" error.
