Google recently asked me if I wanted to add the Dictionary shortcut to the home screen. I clicked "No" but I want to add it. How do I get the option to add this to the home screen?
Can I do it without emptying the cache?

Go to system settings>applications, then find the Google Search app on the list and select it, then, on the app info page, select "storage", then select clear data, then select clear cache.

I didn't want to lose stored data, so I ended up rolling it back to a previous version and then re-installed the new version. After I did this, it gave me the option for the "Dictionary Shortcut."

Try going to settings > applications > manage applications > opera mini and when you open it, it should have a "clear defaults" button.
There have been a lot of questions in regards to sorting the applications in grid view. One is to clear cache on twlauncher in settings. This solution resets everything including your home screen. A much simpler solution is to download the AppZorter for TouchWiz Lite It is free in the market. Install, Run and select sort. Give it a minute and your set.

You can maybe try going to [Settings > App associations] and then select "Web URLs" and see if it gives you the option to select Chrome and see if that works.
Just a guess, I don't know if it will work with "Search".

Gah, I don't know how I missed that. I did it when I first got the phone but forgot to change it after installing the new rom
Or just press the Chrome button instead of the Search button when you want to search.

Apparently HTC in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the voice search icon.
Install shortcut, then run it and it will allow you to start the voice search app using whatever method you wish. Then pull the notification bar down and create your shortcut. Dragged mine down to the dock and all is right with the world again.
Anyone notice that the voice search sucks in comparison with CB? It worked much better on my old ATRIX 2.

What do you mean install shortcut? It's not on my launcher drawer, and when I go to Google Play and search for it the "Open" and "Uninstall" buttons are missing..
any ideas?
use a root explorer app and delete it from /system/app . install new version from play store
Awesome tip, I added it to my notification toggles, perfection

How did you do that? Do you have to be rooted?

Just dug around a little, found it.
Add to homescreen --> Shortcuts --> Activities --> Voice Search --> Recognition Activity
Surely you found it by now, so this is for posterity, for other people who stumble upon this page like I did.
Great tip thank you..

I went to Shortcuts, but the first one that pops up is Bookmarks. Is there no other simple way? I can't download and install it because it's already installed...
Alternate Solution
For those who can't make the above solution work, try this: (OK, I'm not permitted to include a link because I'm a "Noob") Go to AndroidCentral and search for "Missing the Voice Search button? Here's the fix!!". It will also refer you to an app on Google Play called "QuickShortcutMaker".
Anyone know what that big black orb is in the upper-left hand corner of the home screen? (See screenshot) And, more importantly, how do I get rid of it? When I tap it, nothing happens, when I hold to drag it off the screen, I get prompted to change the wallpaper. This is on CyanogenMod 10.
Thanks
That is the icon for a folder. Don't know what's going on specifically in your device though. Might want to clear data of that launcher or try a new launcher altogether

Hmm, looked in the Launcher settings, didn't see an option to clear. Do you know where I can find that? Alternatively, is it a folder that I could simply delete on the fiesystem somewhere?

Lol, I meant go into apps in the system settings, go the launcher you are using, and clear data. This will wipe all apps from the home screen so you have to set it up again, but should probably fix the problem.
This is definitely an app bug, so once again you can also install an alternative launcher such as Apex

Thanks, that did it - cleared cache for Trebuchet
