Im looking for an app that deletes your search history from the market,search bar, browser, etc... i forgot what the app is called and i cant find it in the market. the icon for the app is a trash can.. idk if that help but if any one can find it, i will appreciate that very
History Eraser.
Yes its called HistoryEraser and its a black garbage can.
I think my luck just ran out using this awesome app. I had the "brilliant" idea to move the stock circles widget from a system app to a normal app. My idea was that I'd be able to use the widget with a third party launcher if it was a normal app...
Well after the reboot the app is gonezo. :banghead: Can't find it anywhere. Advice on how to recover it? I'm already missing it after 15 mins.
Edit: fixed it! Just searched for the widget in Google and found a download for it from a thread on xda. Installed it then used the system app mover app to move it back to a system app. All good now! Whew!

(I'm reading Google Now is crashing unless you extract this file and put it in your /system/lib/). There's also a weirder solution posted on the internet: Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
I'd hold off on the OTA to update Search...then again...I don't use it.
YES

My experience...
Copy all files into "/system/app" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) (Works great! Butter smooth, nice change in functionality.) Requires Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk)
Calendar (v201308021) (Works great!)
Clock (v3.0.0) (Works great!)
Email (v6.0-893803) (I don't use, didn't try.)
Gallery (v1.1.40304) (Works, but force closes when trying to edit a photo.)
Gmail (v4.6.1) (Works great!)
Camera (v2.0.001) (Works great! Limited to 1080p video recording on Snapdragon Note 3's. 4K is not an option.)
Hangouts (v2.0.012) (Works great w/ new SMS messaging capabilities. In that regard, it can replace the stock messaging app. However, MMS's (pic messages to phone numbers) freezes the app, requiring you to clear its cache and data to get it working again. Sending the same picture to a standard Hangout recipient without a phone number, it functions without issues.)
Keep (v2.0.50) (Works great!)
Google Keyboard (v2.0.19003.893803a) (Would not work. Selected it through Android's Input Changer. While the space for the keyboard was reserved (blank white spot), the keyboard itself never displayed.)
Wallpapers (Available in both gallery apps upon copying to device's storage. Redundant, as they were already available to select as wallpapers with the KitKat launcher.)
Initially, Google Search kept crashing, even after trying the languages trick. Using the lib file recommended by @docnok63 worked perfectly. Saying, "Ok Google" from the any of your Homescreens or Google Now activates voice search. All search queries performed were successful and crash free.
(Rename the original to libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so.bak before copying.)
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so (Tested, confirmed working! ) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
(Rename the original to libvideochat_jni.so.bak before copying.)
libvideochat_jni.so (Fixes video chat issues in the Hangout app. Tested, verified working.) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-. Thanks @NeoMagus
Photosphere_Fix.rar (Google Camera Photosphere FC Fix) Extract winrar archive and copy the files into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
Ok, so explain this one...
When using the Kit Kat Home Launcher... You can't change the DPI of your system, or you will constantly have the keyboard popup when you hit the home button and it goes back to the home screen..
Why is this?
For anyone having problems with search force closing. The easiest solution:
- go into your PHONE settings, (app drawer > settings. NOT Google launcher settings)
- go to language & input
- change default language to different language (I chose Spanish)
- click home
- in the Google search bar, PRESS THE MIC and do a search USING YOUR VOICE (do not type)
- after search is complete, go home again, and go into settings again (if you chose to change to Spanish, settings got renamed to Config in your app drawer).
- go to language & input
- change default language back to Englis
- "Ok Google" won't show up in the Google search bar, but saying it still works.

Having problems with kit kat launcher won't show up after install when I press home button
Edit it needs 2 other apps for it to work Google search and Google services

The two additional apps can be found by following the OP's first link. They've always been there.
Google search works great for me when searching, but saying ok Google or Google never works when trying from any home screen. Only works when I have Google now already open.

You guys may have already done this, but not knowing how experienced you are, I'll ask anyway...
Are you using Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) specifically with Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk) to ensure everything functions properly? I also manually copied each file into "/system/app" and set the permissions to rw-r-r-.
Did you copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-?
Note: The newest Google Play Services or Google Search (Google Now "Velvet.apk") updated from the market under JellyBean did not work properly for me. This is even after I copied the updated files from "/data/app", renamed them to their correct titles, and moved them into "/system/app". I had to use the KitKat specific files from the links provided above.
"Ok Google", only works with "English (US)" language for me. I tried "English (Canada)" as well as "English (UK)", and each time the mic in the search bar was hollow. It's not until I switch back to English (US) that the mic becomes solid. Also, while navigating to "Settings/Voice", I noticed that "Hotword detection" is only available by choosing English (US), which is the main setting that allows the app and device to listen for the phrase.

Nice write up. I got the new keyboard to work with both my N3 and my girl's S4 (although,oddly, there's less emojis on her S4 for some reason). Make sure after you install the .apk that you enable it in Settings\Languages and Input (it will be unchecked by default.) It appears as Google Keyboard - English (US).

It's built for another device with a different version of Android. Don't EXPECT everything to work flawlessly. You can look over this thread for troubleshooting help.
Has anyone flashed the new email?
Looking for some feed back on it maybe screenshots.

Will email.apk work with exchange servers?
keep caused issues for me, kept asking me to update Google services
calendar, clock, gmail (had to clear data), gallery and camera all worked w/ just copying them to the system/app
I'm not a fan of the default calendar app and on previous phones used the Google Calendar. On this one I installed Google Calendar and placed its widget on the homescreen, but when I tap it to open the actual app it opens the HTC one. I can't clear the defaults or disable it to force it to let me pick Google Calendar. Even the debloat threads I've seen don't remove the stock Calendar... For now I'd like to stick with the stock rom, so is there any way to do this?

Have you tried titanium backup and freezing the calendar app?
