I've been trying to download Google Voice Search on my Evo running Cyanogenmod 6 8-10. Every time I try to download it though, I get "Installation unsuccessful". Is anyone else having the same problem? This is the only app I've had problems downloading.

I'm not sure of the cause, but I am having the same problem as well.
I'm having the same issue as well.
Going into Settings -> Force Stop on the Voice Search app already installed didn't resolve the issue.
I will keep looking for a solution personally ...
my solution was
download and install titanium backup
uninstall voice search via that,
reboot
install new one
worked for me

I removed it using adb shell, and rebooted and it worked.
The google search widget won't install so I'm going to try the same thing. Also, I need to find the clock app to be able to do "Set Alarm" with it.

Tried this, it hasn't worked for me. I get 'download unsuccessful.'
EDIT: Rebooted again, it worked this time.
Thanks for the quick reply, Jsimon, it worked perfect!
i had the same issue also. possibly because voice search was an existing embedded application in the system folder. I also had to remove via root explorer, reboot and re download. thank god for root
Uninstall version 1.6 with Titanium Backup first...
I had to do the same thing.
I was getting the "manual update required" error. Used TB to uninstall version 1.6. ADB reboot and then I installed version 2.1 from the market.
Works like a champ. This is true useful functionality!
Whats the adb command that I type into terminal to delete this? It won't let me delete in TB or Root Explorer or anything. Says I don't have permissions.
NEVERMIND, GOT THIS TO WORK!
I used Root Explorer to remove Voice Search and then rebooted Evo. Hit up the Market and DL'd Voice Search with a perfect install. Good Luck.
I was having the same problem and the TB work-around worked well for me. So thank you for that. This may or may not be related, but does anyone have any issues purchasing applications from the market? I have been trying to buy, "Tasker," for the better part of the last week and every time I go to enter my card information it fails.
How to get this trick work with Google Search from the Market?

This worked for me running Cyanogenmod 6-RC2 on US MT3G:
from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4231-installing-updated-voice-search/
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".
WORKING!

hi! im one of those G2 users that was unlocked but no network signal.. i know that this has been fixed.. just want to ask since im really not familiar with all the terms..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
what exactly means " You will need to download a program called gfree that will first copy partition 7 of the phone, then patch it, then reflash back to your phone"
im using mac.. download already sdk.. my phone already recognized.. i just dont know what exactly to do with the gfree_02 zip file or how do i open it. thanks.
You need a tool on your Mac that can recognise ZIP files and un-zip them. I had a quick Google and found loads. I don't know whether there's anything built-in though, I know very little about Macs.
All you need to do is to extract the contents of gfree_02.zip to your Mac, then you can follow the rest of the instructions. I assume you have got adb working, based on what you've said.
You can probably just double click it to unzip it or, maybe right click and open with Archive Utility.
What version OS are you running on your Mac? 10.5? 10.6? etc..
unzip files, place in the platform-tools older where your adb is, open up terminal and push the files to your phone then run terminal emulator and follow this wiki article.

hi! thanks for the quick response i tried doing but when i typed adb push gfree /data/local it says (gfree folder is in the platform tools folder)
cannot stat 'gfree': No such file or directory
or
when i type in adb push /Users/xxxxxx/Desktop/gfree_02 it says (gfree is in desktop)
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26 - (and shows all the commands)
all i need is to push gfree right? but i cant do the right command.. pls help thanks
It's hard to say, but it seems like you haven't unzipped the .zip file yet. Can you see the files? There should be about 9 files, mostly ending in .c and .h You only need the one called gfree (with no extension).
if you did unzip and gfree in on the desktop - you can see the file, not just the enclosing folder, then try:
adb push /Users/xxxxxx/Desktop/gfree
now it says:
$ adb push /Users/xxxxxxx/Desktop/gfree
adb: permission denied
is there like a step by step on how to do it?
Did you put in the target location? The /data/local/ bit at the end
Adb push /users.../desktop/gfree_02/gfree /data/local/

Are you typing that on your phone (terminal emulator) or on your PC/Mac ? It needs to be on your PC/Mac, not the phone.
You need to unzip the gfree files and place them individually in the platform-tools folder not as /plantform-tools/gfree/.

make sure type in terminal "cd /computer-name/sdk-folder-location/platform-tools/"

im done with these:
make sure type in terminal "cd /computer-name/sdk-folder-location/platform-tools/"
then follow through with "./adb"
and then start pushing the gfree files with "./adb push gfree"
and then i typed ./adb shell as mentioned on the wiki:
On your computer's terminal/command line, navigate to where the gfree file is, and then…
adb push gfree /data/local
adb shell
but when i tried the next step on wiki
This copies gfree to your phone, then puts you in your phone's terminal. Then (IN THE ADB SHELL) do this:
su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree -f
sync
when i typed su --it says
su: permission denied
what happened? thanks.
sounds like you arent temp rooted, you sure you temp rooted first?
i havent temp root my phone yet.. coz when i type
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
when i hit enter it will reply
cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory
i need the right command for my mac and also the right path for my g2 terminal emulator.. coz the initial command is export PATH+/data/local/bin:$PATH
is this correct or do i need to change the directory or my command.
all i really need is to "unlock" my phone..
thank you..

Your PATH is ok because it is finding the "adb" command ok.
What isn't ok is that it can't find "su" when you try to use adb to copy (push) it to the phone. You need to do a "cd" to change directory to wherever you unzipped the files that you are trying to push.
e.g. if "su" and the other files are in /tmp on your Mac, then you need to do "cd /tmp" and then run the adb commands.

Wow, that's extraordinarily similar to the process I had to use to root my Epic4G WAY back in Nov of 2010. Those were scary times.
I remember that while I was doing this my Epic went black and unresponsive, and it took me several hours to get it working again. I felt faint and was shaking the whole time.
From that point on I always told friends who wanted to root- it's not really any fun until you think that you've bricked your phone a couple of times.

Samsung gem i100
I recently got a samsung gem i100. Biggest problem with it was it didn't have the new version of google play (market) on it. I like installing programs from the website, not typing away looking for the right app on my phone. So I installed APK installer, and upgraded the os from 2.1 to 2.2. Which did kill google market.. However I have a different phone and on that phone I have an app called APK extractor(the phone is rooted) I extracted he newest version of google play and uploaded it to the Gem. Google play works fine so far... The 3g data isn't working but the phone is for my kid and Verizon charges for data now. It works ok, but would like the 3g data to work again.any ideas? (The only data it has is wifi. I wonder if it is a setting somewhere, I wouldn't mind throwing on a new os if there was one I could find so long as it was compatible.)
Samsung gem i100
I was hoping someone on here had a unmodified Samsung gem i100 from Verizon so they could use super one click on it and root it then back up the rom, and share it because I broke mine by updating it to 2.2... (the rom for Verizon is 2.1, but 2.2 is for US cellular and Alltel) I downloaded the source code from Samsung in a long shot attempt to repackage it so it will make the data work on the gem again. I think the problem with 2.2 lies in the drivers for the board. If I can fix that then 2.2 should work for Verizon. Although I have no idea what I'm doing I have downloaded Oracle VM VirtualBox, and setup what I need for Android kitchen so I can run the current rom from there and hopefully make the changes...
The other project I'm working on is to find out why the game Temple Run 2 will run on a Droid 4 but not a Droid 1, and if there is a way to modify the Droid 1 so it can run it. My kids like the game, but I don't want them using my phone to play it all the time...
Any pointers would be great. I don't look forward to teaching myself how to write programs but it seems that is my only option...
Are you aware that this is the Epic 4G (with keyboard) forum?

Also. The Droid 1 has an armv6 processor and the Droid 4 has an armv7 processor. So in order for the game to play on the Droid 1, you'd need to find someone who knows how to port games from armv7 to armv6.

I should have mentioned that I already did that and no dice. That update assist application is more for signature mismatches, as per the app description in the Market.
Basicly, it says if you reboot the binary will be downgraded so why try. Get a new kernel

How to from DDChains
If you have adb, run:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
adb reboot
Or from a terminal app on your phone, run:
$ su
# (your phone's remount command, on the Nexus One it's 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system'. Other pones follow the same pattern, but may vary on the '/dev...' block)
# rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
# pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
# (same remount command as above, but use 'remount,ro' instead of 'remount,rw')
Then reboot your phone as normal.
This is of course on an Epic running SRF 1.2..
Don't have access to ADB at the moment so tried using terminal on the phone.
After running the su command, typed:
Code:
'mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system'
And received
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system: not found
Did I type something wrong or should I be using a different command?
Thanks for the help & time..

To be honest, I didn't even know what was all going on, I just kept clicking through and the binaries updated just fine.
If I can be of help somehow, please let me know.

**EDIT** I just tried using the Terminal Emulator method and was successful
The following command worked for me for some reason:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
But I'm still curious to see why I got that error in ADB.

Ok, it was user error for me. I was putting ' in front of and after the command.
The terminal process worked for me and got me back to a fully working (older. 2.3.1 -ef) SuperUser.
Guess the 3.0 just isn't ready for primetime yet?
My tab updated fine.

Kernel developers build superuser and su into the kernel...this is what "root" is...so 9/8 times there going to be using the superuser everyone knows about, 2.3.x. (Fraction mess up on person) The only way to get around this is ask the dev of your kernel to make a non-rooted version, or use a stock kernel.

Root micromax a 52
DOWNLOAD all the attachments that i have here. first of all connect your device to pc and install its drivers (it ll ask you to install by default)
1. put the adb_usb.ini file in .android folder in c:>users>(your name)>.android
2. install unlock root.exe.
3. run unlockroot.exe and click on root.
thats all.

here are the attachments----------

UnlockRoot doesn't work with Micromax A52
This tool doesn't work with the A52. I've tried multiple ways to get the boot.img so that our mods here can assist with this but have not been successful in getting that file.
In case anyone gets this working please do post here as its really frustrating when you have apps on the phone but are unable to update them.
any one tried the method ... does it work
Rooting A52
I tried this method, doesnt work, plz will someone come up with a Rooting process that actually Roots this Damn phone
go to a ubuntu PC open terminal type "lsusb".
now connect your device via usb cable and type "lsusb" again.( without quotes)
Give me the output in both the cases.
I may have something for you guys very soon.

if you dont have ubuntu pc try this on a 32 bit windows pc
http://downloads.yahoo.com/software/windows-web-tools-lsusb-s577074
download it and then run it. I think it will do the job. And then post the outputs here.
But i would recommend to use ubuntu pc. and lsusb command from ubuntu terminal.
Try it asap and share your outputs here.
Anyone with the outputs for ubuntu??
if you are on a windows Pc you may download cygwin (google it and install it)
then you can get the lsusb command working (I am not sure of this)....Somebody please try the device with ubuntu pc or anyother linux based operating system.

or try to install the "lsusb" from the link that i posted earlier.
and post the outputs....Do it asap.
bro i am too limited with command line knowledge and dont think i would be abl to accomplish the task properly

Root micromax a52 mobile phone
steps to unroot your device :--
1. first of all install Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (make sure you have JDK installed)
->Follow all the steps there carefully and you will have a working SDK.
2. Remove all the android USB drivers installed on your device by the software in the attachment. -> http://www.2shared.com/file/mZdgGZG3/usbdeview.html
3. Now connect your device to PC and install Micromax's official drivers (you will get an auto-run prompt for the driver installation on connecting your device.
4. Now download the attachment here and put it into the C:/Users/(your_name)/.android.
-->.android folder you should get automatically NO NEED TO MAKE A NEW FOLDER...if the ".android" folder is not present...please download and install android SDK properly.
now put the file extracted from that zip into the folder ".android".
Restart your PC.
5. goto C:/Users/(your_name)/android-sdk/platform-tools. And open command prompt there.
6. And make sure that the mobile is attached to your PC via usb cable.
7. Type "adb devices" (without quotes).
8. your micromax device should be shown there. Now close the terminal.
9. Download and install this :--http://www.mediafire.com/?jrzuezl8s5t8k0s
10. click on Root option.
11. you are done!!!!!
NOTE: DOWNLOAD THIS adb_usb file only and not from any previous attachments.
LASTLY, Sorry for being late my internet connection was down
I have tried to make this guide as simple as possible. But still, should you need more information or there is any confusion do share. I would love to help you out.
Regards,
imetal1
Dude......i done kno whethr its working or not.......bt if it does......u r the 1st to crack it.....
tell me wat about the CWM for the phone.......need to backup the stock ROM....
Didn't Work.
Tried that too. It said failed to get shell root... Mate if you could tell me how i could give you my boot.img if that helps i will... else if there's a way to replace it with a unsecured boot.img do tell me.. In all other accounts There's been no bloody way to root this device..
To the contrary micromax ships half of its funbook rooted! And this bloody phone cannot be! God help me!
Did you followed the entire tutorial? If yes, then verify-->>
0. Enable USB debugging option on your device....(you will find it in settings/applications/development)
1. open command prompt in c:/users/ur_name/android-sdk/platform-tools/
2. type abd devices
do you see your device listed there????
tell me yes or no.
If no then make sure you have the SDK installed. do share your outputs.
NOTE : IF YOU HAD DISABLED YOUR USB DEBUGGING MODE EARLIER PLEASE TRY ONCE MORE BY ENABLING THE USB DEBUGGING MODE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And about supplying the boot.img actually I am aware of commands that will help to get the boot,system,and recover.imgs out of the devices but for running those command we have to root the device first.....I am unaware of any such commands that extracts out these imgs from unrooted devices.
---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------
if that also dosent works then try super-one click. (get it from google ) try diffrent versions of it and using different modes like ginger-break etc....its easy to use software.
I dont possess a52 so cant try myself but i ll do my best.
Regards,
imetal1
Nope. No Such luck.
Mate, Anyway i can have a quick chat with you? Um. Yeah debugging is on. And my device is listed. I may be a noob ova here but i'm dumb proof.
Anyway i tried this, superone click, gingerbreak and another batch file that restarts my phone 3 times...
uses a command
Code:
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
It fails at
Code:
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
command. Zerg rush fails. Gingerbreak just hangs... So since all of the readily available market programs fail i was thinking of another approach where i saw this guy who flashed ICS to his Zopo ZP100 (MediaTek MT6575). The similarity over here is the board. My board is also a MT6575. So i was wondering if flashin it with this would work... (jus askin) Or if there was a chance to port an existing pre-rooted 2.3.6 rom to this board by replacin d drivers or such.. I have no idea but i'm ready to experiment around. Forgive me if i sound dumb... Do reply. And if your in for a quick chat today temme. I'll give you my skype ID somehow..

Open a command line terminal in your platform-tools.
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb shell “echo \”ro.kernel.qemu=1\” > /data/local.prop”
adb reboot
adb shell id
//IF ID IS 0/root THEN CONTINUE, ELSE START OVER>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
//UNDO EVERYTHING EXCEPT su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
If your device seems to bootloop, don’t worry, just keep inputting the commands.
If you get a permissions error on the call
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
then you may try
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
And then try the echo command again. This may be due to having rooted prior without cleaning up properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If all the above fails download the attachments here and extract it to your platform-tools folder. And run .bat file that is created. May be this would help.
Actually, I dont have the device so please share any errors that you are getting...better still post entire output.

Hi everyone,
I have rooted my Zync z930 tablet with adb commands and just wants to let you know.
After going through lots of root methods i came to know the procedure.
Hope my method helps you.. :good:
I have collected the required drivers, files and uploaded them to 4shared.
Just Download the required files from http://www.4shared.com/rar/WiRHc5mG/Zync_Z930_Root_tools.html
And extract it.
To install adb drivers for your tablet, enable usb debugging in your tablet.
Go to settings ->developer option ->tick USB debugging and then connect your tablet to your PC with the usb cablet supplied with your tablet.
Now windows will show Failed to install drivers. just close it.
Go to desktop, right click on Computer -> manage ->device manager, you will see Z930 with an error symbol. Right click on it, update driver software.
->Browse my computer for driver software.
->let me pick from a list of devices on my computer.
->have disk
->select the location where you have extracted Zync Z930 Root tools.rar. Point on drivers. And click ok.
->it will show Android adb interface
click ok. it will show certificate warning. Just accept and let in install.)
So now you have installed your adb drivers....
Rooting your tablet
Now in the "Zync Z930 Root tools" folder, hold shift and right click.
"open command window here"
in the command window, type the following commands..
adb devices
(it will show the connected tablet with a different digits, thats normal)
adb root
(it will give you root permission)
adb shell
(U will be taken to Android shell)
(now in the shell, type the following commands, please take care of the space, comma and other signs and symbols carefully and execute)
(If you get $ sign, you still don't have root permission, if you have #, it means you have the root permission)
#mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
#exit
(you'll be taken back)
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
(Please NOTE: if you have upgraded to JB, you don't need to install superuser.apk, you can skip that "adb install superuser.apk" step)
adb install superuser.apk
adb shell
(Again you'll be taken to the shell)
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
#exit
adb reboot
(Your tablet will be rebooted, And thus your tablet is Successfully rooted.)
You will see that now u have superuser.apk installed. Use an application like titanium backup which requires root access.
Also you can use "root checker application" to check whether you got root access or not...
If i have helped anyone please hit thanks botton...
And Please let me know whether you got root permission or not....
Enjoy your rooted tablet....:good:
thanks
Thanks for the method. I will try tonight and post here.
can you access fastboot ..?
i have rooted my z930 already , but anyways good work :good:
have u unlocked fastboot ..?
Works
It works. There is a typographical error where you've written busybin instead of busybox.
@jaideep, thanks for the correction, i'll edit it, actually it was late night when i had typed those steps, so just messed.
Anyway thanks again...
@sector1369, no i havent tried unlocking fastboot.

You don't have to install the busybox...and Do you have the Android SDK? because for me the adb.exe which came with the rar didn't work properly. The adb reboot leaves the cmd not responding forever. I had to use the adb with the Android SDK to get the rooting done...
