Still learning here guys. Anyway, I am using CM6 with ADW and I cannot find anywhere on the phone just an app for the Google Navigation. I have searched the market for it, and I have searched my phone for it. Stock my phone came with the little blue arrow shortcut that took me to navigation, right now the only way I can access navigation is by going into maps and then from there, I tried to create a custom shortcut for the shortcut from "Car Home" but still cannot find it. Any suggestions?

Running dc3.5 with launcher pro. I've got the search widget on my home screen and after the first time I use it after a reboot it jumps to the top of the screen and doesn't work at all anymore till I reboot. The search key will bring up the keyboard to enter text but won't actually enter anything into the text field. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm sure it's an issue with launcher pro because I was having the same problem when I was running the widget and lp on dc 3.2.x before I lost my old evo (rip )
Swyped from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm currently running the most recent Fresh ROM and using LP Plus and don't have any issues with the Google search widget. I can enter text and also the voice to text works almost flawlessly on it. HTH
lucky you. I'm gonna try to uninstall and reinstall both again.
Also, I've switched roms to Ava6 and i'm still experiencing the same problem.
fixed
I had the same problem and finally came up with an easy fix. I know its going to sound weird but bear with me.
First hold down on the searchbar and drag it to the trashcan. Now go to another page, yes it does have to be another page. Clear a desktop row that is not the top row. Hold down on the blank row and add the Google search widget there. Now hold down on it and move it back to where you originally had it. And fixed......
Hope it works for you.

Google search brought me here... I can confirm that this does seem to work; I'm using LP v0.7.6.0 on a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 running leaked froyo build
I had this same issue, reinstalling LP fixed it
Im also having this issue. Ill try those strategies. So far moving the bar around hasn't helped. Running leaked Froyo on Samsung Captivate.
Edit: Problem solved by using "Google Search" widget rather than "Search" widget. They look and preform the same. Why I have two of those and what the material differences are, I'm not sure! (maybe one is an updated form and one is legacy)
Do you guys think when you re-installed LP you may have switched with search widget you used?
youre crazy widget moving black magic method worked!!!!
I can also confirm the work-around. The new widget no longer animates to the top.
Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I cannot seem to find Google Voice Search on my Nexus!!! It's not in the app drawer, there's no widget for it. But I go to Settings>Apps, and it's still under the "All" section, and I'm able to enable/disable it just fine. So I tried to go to the Market to see if I could download it there, and there is no "install" button (I'm assuming because it's a built in app)...help? I'm not running any custom ROM's...just stock, unlocked, rooted. I am using Nova Launcher, so that may be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See the search bar on to? Tap the microphone on the right side. That's Google Voice Search.

Ohhh thank you. I disabled the search bar in Nova Launcher...I didn't realize that was the only way to do the Voice Commands...
Had a quick question, Im running icslitebeta and was wondering if i could somehow make a on screen shortcut to running apps? Like when you hold down the home button for a few seconds? I looked on google and the closest thing i found about it was to download an app that goes to a recent app selection. Only problem with that app is its there screen. I like the way the running apps or recent apps list look on ics beta. what im wanting to do is put it in the dockbar, So im using honeycomb three icon buttons and put the last one with a custom shortcut and change the icon to match,Any ideas?
Am still needing help with it.

I know if your running stock gingerbread all you have to do is hold the home button but you aren't. I'm not sure if there is any way that I know of. I'll do some googling for you and let you know.
hi, i was just wondering if its possible to make google now my home screen. i realized i don't need a launcher because i have a ton of apps and instead of swiping through my drawer i often find myself just typing in the app in the search bar. With the new swype keyboard in 4.2 its much quicker to launch an app that way, i also put my dock apps in my lmt launcher and don't use widgets except for the search bar of course. so has anyone figured out how to make google now their HS? i would love for it to just open when i press home and open right after unlocking the lockscreen.
No launcher = no Android
Closest you could manage would be a single launcher page with a clock widget that looks like Google now plus some minor themeing.
Lets tweak your idea and make it a widget for Now, that would be pretty sweet.

yeah it would be pretty cool to have a full screen scrollable google now widget. i just don't have the know how to produce something like that
there is a launcher, i believe it is called sflauncher that is modeled after google now you could try.

yeah ive tried it but im looking to just make google now the home launcher not just something that looks like it. does anyone know if i can remap the home button to just open google now?
With a custom launcher i think you can. For example i'm using nova launcher, and under the gesture and behavior menu you can choose the home button behavior with several action and all you app. The only thing i'm not sure about is if you can set only an app or even an app's activity (like is gnow)...
I have A Pixel 2 XL. It is up to date with all patches installed. No custom ROM. I am using Nova Launcher.
About a week ago, a persistent floating circular search icon appeared on my home screen. As I swipe from screen to screen, the icon goes with each screen.
When I tap the icon, it expands to to a transparent search bar showing the bing icon. I can type into the search bar, but it does not link to any search engine. It does nothing. I can type in another search term with the same result.
When I tap the arrow at the end of the search bar, it reverts back to the circular icon.
I can move the icon around the screen. If I tap and hold the icon, instead of giving me the opportunity to delete it like with any other icon, nothing happens.
I've deleted all Microsoft products except Office, refreshed the cache, run AVG Antivirus, and still nothing.
Nothing obvious shows in the Apps and Notifications area.
I'm wondering if it's related to Nova Launcher, but I can't see anything obvious in the settings.
I'm totally mystified.
Any ideas?
Alright, so here we go.
First I'd like to state that any antivirus on Android isn't a bad idea per-se, but with Play Protect it is pretty pointless. All apps are verified upon downloading them from the Play Store. Apps like AVG and Avast are renown for collecting data that they shouldn't be and add a lot of unnecessary features on top. You wanted an antivirus right? Not some app that can also detect through deranged means when your password is being used?
If you want something more effective (totally not an antivirus though), there is SD Maid. It will remove any files that are left behind by other applications, and clear out deprecated databases that are no longer being used. That's all it has ever done, and why I went out of my way to support the developer in their initiative.
Now, on to that bing search bar. I'd imagine that if the only MS app you have installed is in fact office, it may very well be the source of it all. Another possibility is an invasive application that might have been installed after allowing the installation of unknown sources.
Are there any apps you installed outside of the Play Store?
i dont have nova laucher, but i got the same problem.
this search-floating-icon, is always on top of all apps. it can not be deleted/hide.

I have never installed an app outside the play store. Thanks for the detailed answer.

I think this is malware / virus.
open google play store, click the uninstall button in any application that you have installed.
this search-floating-icon automatically disappears, as if it was also uninstalled.
then 30 minutes laters its appear again..
dammmn @#$%^&
I have the same problem on my samsung tablet and I share your frustration. I think it comes with the software upgrade...chrome version xxxxx143. The icon temporarily disappear when you do an apps force stop but it comes back again. I have chrome on my other android devices but not this latest problem.
Can you post a screenshot of this thing?
Figured it out
Faced the same problem. It was an app Free VPN proxy master com.free.fast.master.unblock.proxy.vpn
After its removal button disappeared
