Search key doesn't work.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but after I installed the new google voice search, my search key didn't work any more. When I touch the search key now, it doesn't do anything. Any idea?
Thanx in advance.

Same boat.
Cm6.
Any ideas people?

Add me to this list same here

The voice search isn't to blame it's the new Google search widget that you need to blame.

That asks for the long press one
I'm talking about the single press search

Here's how to fix (from your Terminal/Command Prompt, where ADB is):
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
adb reboot
Now go install the Google Search and Voice Search from the Android Market. Problem solved.
NOTE: You have to have full root. That means # in your shell, and NAND unlock. If you don't, you are SOL.

I am fully rooted anyway to do this via titanium backul? Is the main goal here to uninstall the old apps?

No way that I found. His way is flawless and just requires typing what you see.

the adb commands worked awesome...I still have a slight lag with the "hard" key search button...still requires a long press.
Thanks!!

Quick note: If you do all of that, and when short-pressing the Search key, you don't get the Google Search (and assuming you've installed Google Search from the Market), use these commands:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
adb shell cp /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb reboot
This thread oughtta be stickied. I've already quoted my post in here three times.

I've already uinstalled/rebooted/installed both the voice search and the google search. Do i still proceed with the above steps? And if so, can I type these commands as I see them into the Terminal Emulator on the phone itself?

The commands are meant to be done via ADB (a command prompt/shell on your computer).
If you already have everything working (including the search key) then there's no need for you to do this.

I've just uinstalled/rebooted/installed both the voice search and google search. Voice search works fine, but as I said previously, the google search button is broken.
I want to use your instructions but I've never used adb on my computer before. Can you help me out? I've always avoided using it, but maybe it's time I learn.

there's a thread in development on how to use adb.
seriously, once you get the least bit familiar with it, you won't want to use anything else...
i do everything from adb. it's just easier. trust me. i've tried all the other methods, and they're a pain in comparison

Wowsers, so I found the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 (adb for dummies) but I'm lost.
It seems to be designed for Windows users....So far I have:
downloaded the newest SDK package, Eclipse and installed the ADT Plugin. Now what? I'm so confused...any help would be great!

You don't need Eclipse or anything like that.
Just go to Start>Run, type in "cmd" (no quotes) and then type the command:
cd *location of where you saved the Android SDK*
cd tools
So if you copied the Android SDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK", you would type:
cd "C:\Program files (x86)\Android SDK\"
cd tools
Now just type in the commands, starting with "adb " such as "adb reboot" or "adb shell" and so on.
EDIT: Since there was an update for the Nexus One version of CM6, there's now a new GApps ZIP which contains the new search, Voice Search, etc. Just copy it to your SD card, reboot into recovery, and flash it:

[MOD] 3-Click QuickTempRoot TerminalMOD :/

Alright all,
I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.
I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.
So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.
I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.
Here's how it works, after it's installed.
3ClickTempRooter said:
1) You run the terminal app once, wait a few seconds and it disappears.
2) You run the terminal again, wait for it to FC.
3) You run the terminal a final time and receive root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).
Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.
Installation
Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.
Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...
Here's the adb installation snippet ...
Code:
adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk
Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!
Hope you enjoy!
NOTES
If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.
If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.
Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!

ummmmm.....Enomther??
Did you get a G2 already?
Great to see you helping out with this

Great to see you here man! Trying this now can't wait to get themes rolling once we get permanent root!

If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.
I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to
"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."
You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".

Like this?

If you have better terminal, you can also add the rage and root to specific keys.

At this command I'm getting told "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Read-only file system"
adb push su /sdcard/su

Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds

Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?

Don't use task killers. (IMHO)
But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)

[Q] ADB Commands

PLEASE CLOSE. ISSUE RESOLVED.
Hi everyone.
Basically I downloaded Wavesecure but it doesnt work so I need to take it off. Uninstalling the regular way doesnt work and I found a way to uninstall it by ADB commands but I have no idea how to get going.
The ADB command I need is
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/app/com.wsandroid-1.apk
I have no idea what it does either. Does it let the app become "uninstallable" through the normal settings?
So how do I give the command to the phone?
Thanks very much guys.
EDIT: nevermind, did it by removing the APK lol from root explorer.

KFHD 8.9 Help, Please

I rooted my KFHD 8.9, installed the Play Market, Go Launcher HD, and a few other things. Everything went smoothly...until I decided to install TSF Shell 3d. I moved it to system/app, changed permissions, and rebooted. Now, TSF is stuck in a loop and I can't access ES File Explorer long enough to delete it from the device. When I try using Android Commander, it shows "No Root" and I'm not very experienced at ADB. Is there some way to get this off my device so it's usable again?
When I boot up, it boots normally, then before I can unlock the lockscreen, I get "TSF Shell has Stopped" with a button below it to ok the message. When I tap it, it goes away for a split second, then comes right back...over and over.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
(I posted this here because I did not see a Q and A or Help section that was KFHD 8.9 specific. If it needs to be moved, feel free and I apologize.)

couple of things to try. if you can access the pull down menu go to more settings, applications then find tsf shell and clear defaults. reboot.
if that doesn't work reboot to recovery and do a factory reset.
adb reboot recovery.

I will try the adb reboot recovery option. I can't get into anything on the device itself long enough to do anything. Also, I didn't even set TSF as default home. I'm thinking (the way adb is acting), that I don't have full root privileges. When I try to delete the file using adb, I get a permission denied error.

Have you tried:
Code:
adb shell su -c "rm /path/to/TSF.apk"
...replacing "/path/to/TSF.apk" with the actual path to the actual name of the TSF app you want deleted? Just be sure to leave the quotes around the command or it may not work.

There is a space between the 'rm' command and the path. Also you need to get the exact name of the file you want removed...
Code:
adb shell su -c "ls /system/app"
And again, don't forget the quotes...meaning leave them there.

"Is" or "rm"?

'ls' is the list command. Use it to list the contents of either the '/system/app' directory or the '/data/app' directory to find the exact name of the 'apk' that is causing problems, then use the 'rm' (remove) command to get rid of it.

I got it to work. TSF is gone (yahoo!). So now I get to start over. What I finally did was to do a total restore using KFFirstAide. Thanks you guys for pitching in and helping a newb. I appreciate it to no end.

digix sophix 8" tablet root 840g

hey this took me a few hours, i know a bit about androids and it gave me a hard time... thought i would share:
digix sophix 8" tablet root 840g
1: make sure you install your adb drivers, and your tablet is connected to your pc with usb debug mode on, and install unknown sources on.
2. goto your platform-tools adb dir and copy the attached zip files to that dir..
3. run command prompt navigate to your adb platform-tools dir
4. you could create a script, but i had to do it by hand, run these commands from your dos prompt:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 7655 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chown root:shell /system/bin/su
adb shell chown root:shell /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown root:shell /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot
i hope that works, cause thats all i should have had to do, and i ended up doing a ton of other things that i didnt need to... i had to re-install google apps, and market cause when i tried to root it i accidentially deleted em somehow....
but that should work.. if not.. you can understand the method of the script, and something can be worked by this im pretty sure!
my neighbor bought this tablet at gamestop.. i rooted it for him.... pissed me off for a while... it would be nice if someone could verify this... thanks!
enjoy!

Can you private message me..i really want to root my new sophix tablet... old methods are not working

I've made a batch script that should help you. It automatically pushes Superuser and the SU binary to their proper places, fixes permissions, and reboots the device over ADB.
I haven't tested it on my father's 840G yet, so use it at your own risk, but theoretically everything should work.

Hey thank you so much.
However, i'm still confused/cautious.
So I got my ADB drivers from adbdriver but when I start the batch it says: Daemon not running, and then Daemon sucessfully started and then nothing. I left it for 15 minutes but nothing happened...what'd I do wrong?

It didn't recognize the device. How exactly did you install the drivers? It would have proceeded if they were correctly installed.
Go into ADB and type:
Code:
adb devices
If nothing comes up the tablet's not on, not plugged in, or the drivers are incorrectly installed.
Worst case scenario, download TeamViewer and I'll try to help you remotely.

I've linked another version of the batch in my first post in this thread. It's got a command that I believe is causing the issue commented out, as well as a bit more troubleshooting.
Also, there's a thread now that has a 15 second ADB driver installer. If the batch still doesn't work, download it here.
