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.

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?

[WARNING] SDK Tools v8 does not contain adb!

Earlier today I decided I wanted to try Gingerbread through the Android Emulator. It required several updates and the SDK was update to v8. It seems that v8 does not contain adb.exe. For anyone who will be working on their phone using adb, this is obviously a problem.
I've provided v7 below for those that need it.
Android SDK v7

It does have it, but moved to a new folder. Please read the documentation provided with it.

They changed the location of adb. It's now under /platform-tools

I see... Well, nevermind then.

Yeah.. I was kinda scared. I messed with Gingerbread, then started messing with my phone. Had to pull build.prop through android commander and it said ADB wasn't working. I redirected the path and it said not found. ADB wouldn't work in cmd. I was worried others might have the same problem.

that's fresh hero 2.4.....also can u put up sdk 7?

HELP!!!

is there a way to instill non market app with out rooting the phone???

Go to settings, applications, and select option to allow unknown sources. Unless the app itself requires root permissions, you should be able to install without root permissions.

Sideloading non market apps w/without root(videos soon):
What is side loading apps? Att blocks the instillation of non market apps. Hence the need to side load apps! (Shame on you ATT you monster)
There are multiples ways to do this, and I will be going over three.
-Option 1w/out root) Our brother over at android central made a niffty little GUI called side load wonder machine you can find the instructions and program here!
-Option 2w/ or w/outroot) You can also use android sdk (adb) you will need to download sdk from google you can find that here!
-You will need to update platform tools.
-I recommend placing the platform tools files into the tools folder.
-Place the apk file you wish to side load into the tools folder.
-Make sure you have charge only, and debugging mode selected (settings>applications>debugging)
-Connect your phone to your computer
- Press shift + right click on the tools folder
-Open command promp here
(ROOT ONLY)
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push (apks name) /system/app
(W/OUT ROOT)
Code:
adb devices
adb install (apks name)
-Option 3root only)
-Place the apk file on your sd card.
-Insure Unknown Sources is selected (settings>applications>unknown sources)
-Use a root explorer (es file explorer, dual file manager etc. etc.) to locate the file on your sd card select it and select install.

ahh yes, I was just reading up on that after you smacked me down. I knew I wasn't crazy! I don't remember if my Droid X had that option or not, I rooted it as soon as I got it. Sorry to run around posting bad info!! and about the great evil that is ATT. My wife is an iphone fangirl and I was sooo happy when I could get her an iphone on Verizon to save a couple bucks on the combined account, one less bill to pay, and Verizon has such better coverage here.
Cheers!

Tried to bring her over to the dark side, even told her about the cookies! I just remember her saying something about prying it out of her cold dead hands...

Yes right now. If someone wants to create a Mac/Linux version, that'd be awesome.
You can manually install by doing the following:

It's no harder than for the linux crowd. If you're familiar with Terminal, then adb commands should be second-nature.
That being said, if you look at the contents of the install.bat, you can see which commands are being run. Use those same commands from Terminal on your Mac, assuming you've already setup the Android SDK tools (adb and fastboot).
Here's where you get the Mac SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You needn't worry about setting up the Eclipse plugin or anything like that. Once you unpack the zip, you should find an "android" binary, which when run, will launch the SDK Manager. From there you select the Android SDK Tools. That will install adb. Select Android SDK Platform Tools and that should install fastboot.

Hey stop giving us a bad name, crack that .bat open and show the world your ADB terminal skills.

just download the .jar from the link above. U also need java environment to launch jar files.
1. Download .jar XiaomiADBTool and Java SE
2. Enable USB debugging in developer options on your note 6 pro
3. connect note 6 pro with usb and launch .jar tool
4. click on top right "menu" > "check for device" to load your redmi
5. in the center window of the tool you can select all apps you'd like to uninstall
6. hit the uninstall button. On left side you'll see the progress - finish
you also have several other options with this tool on right side of the window. I've tried the tool today and everything is working!

Does not need root, unlocked bootloader or something else. Just enable USB debugging

really great tool, I removed from my note 6 pro several google/miui apps ... just I am not sure exactly what are safe to remove and to maintain proper phone functioning. Hereby I think that 'Music' should be for sure safe to remove, but I am not sure regarding offered google/miui services and so on. However I got rid of Google chrome and I like it
