[Q] Is it possible to turn Google Search into a user app? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible/safe to turn Google Search into a user app with Link2SD? I'm asking because I want to Greenify it...
(It worked with Google+ and Maps...just not sure if doing it with Search will disrupt things.)

It should work with TiBU, though I don't what it might break.

Facebook "hacked"-because of apps?

I am having a weird problem with my facebook account, it keeps chatting with my friends, posting on their walls, and posting statuses. Its all the usual "click here to get a free ipod" ect. I tried changing my password already and it stopped for awhile (few days) but now its doing it again.
Im starting to wonder if its one of my apps on my phone somehow doing it since I have the facebook app and have myself signed in.
Anyone experience this?
No, it's apps on your facebook account, and this has zero to do with this forum.

I think you need to calm down. If I was mistaken then fine, but if it was an android app causing it then why would this be in the wrong forum?

It's not android apps. This happens when you use survey apps, etc. on facebook. NOTHING to do with android.

Thank You now I know, was starting to suspect my phone. I delete the few apps that were on my facebook (do you think this will fix it?).
Can the apps also go into chat with my friends? The reason I ask is under permissions the only app on facebook that shows is "gochat" which is an android app for chatting on facebook.
easy way to track down were it is coming from is to go into your app settings on facebook, and limit the apps that can post. To eliminate the phone, just stop anything but your phone apps from posting, then wait a day and see what happens. then add back 1 app at a time until you find which one is the pffending app.
But as already said very unlikely to be your phone apps directly.

Questions about cyanogenmod 9.1

Hi there,
i just rooted my htc sensation and put the cyanogenmod 9.1.
It is really great but i have some questions:
-the Barclays Banking app don't work cause they blocked the access to the root phones, i found on the forum some [how to] for the S3, but didn't work for the sensation, do you have any solution for that?
-the sync of the address book with Facebook and twitter is no working, Ok I know that Google prefer that we use Google+ and don't add this feature in his own system, but there should be a solution, some API to flash in the firmware, or things like that..(i don't want to use apps like, syncnow, friendcaster ecc)
Please answer as soon as possible to my questions, and really thank you so much in advance for your patience.
Ps Sorry for my bad English

Hi there I don't know the solution to your first problem but I do for your second :victory:
I often come across situations on ROMs when there is always those one or two apps I know I wont use so I use a application called Titanium Backup to 'freeze' them. You need the paid version to be able to freeze apps so here's a link to it via the Play Store CLICK ME
BUT if you're a cheapo like me go to a website called APK MANIA and then search for "Titanium Backup Pro 5.6.0 APK". I would give you a link to it but that is against XDA regulations.
sorry maybe i didn't explained really good. i don't want to freeze application, i want to know if there is a method for sync the facebook address with the telephone address...as the photo, the callendar, ecc... as it was on the htc sense..
Sorry, but as i told my english is not really good.
THIS could be your app to sync facebook with your contacts. I do not know if there is any mod/update or anything you could use instead of applications.

Sorry for misunderstanding you...
So basically when you go to accounts and sync in settings and you select Facbeook you don't have the options to sync your different things?

well, actually in account&sync everything is marked(whatsapp,facebook,google+ ecc) but the sync for the facebook photo doesn't work, now i'm using friendcaster, but i really would like a better implementation as the one of the htc sense, (maybe there is a method to flash only this thing) or at least an app that allow me to select manually the friends with the photos (as haxsync, syncnow ecc..) but this is the method that i am using riht now with friendcaster...

Actually you are violating the xda rules by giving instructions on how to find warez, even without a link.
There are plenty of free apps that can freeze other apps. Dont come here showing how someone can get one of the paid ones for free...link or no link.

I'm really sorry about that.
I wasn't aware that were other apps and I do apologise for going against XDA conduct.
Thank you for letting me know of my mistake.

check your installed apps for any suspicious application that you might not have installed yourself. Most probably there will be one like mobogenie or some other.

There are some apps on play store that allow you to do so. Search for 'firewall' and you'll find some that work on non rooted devices too.

Can't access google settings on phone

I have a Chinese Honor 8 and have installed Google on it. Everything works fine but I cannot access the Google settings page. I know its there because I seen it pop up once asking if I want to enable Android Device manager.
Any idea how I can access it? When I go to accounts -> google and click on it, nothing happens.

Google settings has a separate app icon nowadays.
Hope so that it got hidden in any app groups. You need to check in the app groups.
If all the google apps will be inside any app group (Folder like thing). It might be inside that.

There's no icon for it, I checked everywhere.
On my other phones on Android 6 I must go to the Google account and the settings opens when you click on it. On this phone, nothing happens.

Yes of course. Everything works perfect and I know the Google settings app is there because it asked me something about device manager and I saw the Google settings. But there is no way for me to access it by myself.

Too lazy Anyway I found a workaround solution using the app QuickShortcutMaker. You can choose Google Play Services there and the created shortcut opens google settings.

Try with searching the settings by swiping downwards in home screen...
Let us know the result. So that we can get a clear idea on the thing.
Also thanks for mentioning the app name to do the workaround.

First thing I tried was the search, it couldn't find it. I spent literally an hour looking through the phone for a way to access the google settings. Using that app to create the shortcut was the only thing that worked.
Your probing for the solution and posting the solution for it will be useful for future people. Thank you...

[Help] Introduce an app to avoid auto start

Hi, I've got root and xposed installed.
And already have installed amplify, greenify, no wakelock and bootstart manager.
But none of these was able to block an app from auto starting when phone is on.
Yea, it kills the app when you click on the greenifys shortcut, but I dont refer to that, I want an app which can disable the autorun service of the app.
Can anyone introduce a way or an app for that?
Thanks.

You mean an app like autostarts? Which alters the criteria to said apps??
Used to use it years ago but it's still available..
Not a task manager but an actual app that manages changes.

Not free but definitely worth a £1
Hope this helps..
