A simple reg hack will let you search google instead of windows live.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)-Services-Windows Live-HSAppPlugins
change searchURL to http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=
someone please post the settings before the hack i forgot to write it down incase i want to change it back.
your welcome
the original value is....
http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?=
nice diggin =) think ill try to get it do the swedish search instead
The URL is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
The above is what is in the registry!!
While the search page is at:
http://m.live.com/search/default.aspx?mkt=en-us
and Home is at:
http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/default.aspx?mkt=en-US
Simple
thanks for the great hack! god knows the default search was horrible
Live search is simply you type a query and it opens up PIE with Live search...you can accomplish the same thing by just open up PIE and have google set as the default home page. I don't use Live search..just the messenger part Thanks for this great info.
I figured this out months ago, and posted in on HoFo...

thanks for sharing...
i added this to the wiki, and am going to lock the thread
I felt it was appropriate to re-open this thread. There have been issues with the original url not correctly handling search terms with embedded spaces. I've got what may be a fix to this. Try the following URL:
http://www.google.com/pda?hl=en&q=
This seems to work for me. Hows it working for everyone else?
wow austinsync I thought you were only good at flaming noobs! Nice work..
Sleuth - confirmed link is working fo rme
Works great on a 8125 as well!!!!!!!

nope... i searched "austin bbq" as test (and because i'm hungry and want som BBQ!!) and PIE opened up with this in the search box: "austin%u0020bbq"
Doesn't work for me either. It does open up PIE and puts the given search query in the google searchbox, but doesn't directly show the search results. For that, I need to press search again.
Weird.
I also wonder, if it's possible, to display Google Search on the desktop instead of Live Search.

DM
thank you, this works great!
thank you, this works great!
cab?
can someone be so kind to make a cab file for the reg fix? Makes it a lot easier every time we switch roms
This URL works great for me.
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q=
It is also in the wiki
Does anyone know if it's possible to change "Live Search" to "Google Search" ?
There is a search plugin lifted from the treo700 that defaults to google. look in the treo700 rom dumped thread in the development and hacking forum. It works well but doesn't allow SIP input. You need to have the keyboard opened to use it.
I can make an installer if anyone's interested.
Interested.... Thnxs in advance..

On my latest WM6 ROM, I have cooked a working google URL into the live search today item. Embedded spaces work just fine. This is a major WM6 update btw. If you're interested in upgrading, here's a link to the thread:

Hello everyone, I'm a total noob here, and I have been searching my butt off trying to figure out how to try and get the music beta app working on the TP2. I am running froyo7. It seems that in my build. android market thinks that my phone is a Mid-Tex Cellular, when I am actually a sprint customer. Now before anyone say "search" I have I have been reading up how to edit my build.prop, watching youtube videos on how to as well, with a lot of google searching on the side. I am getting most of my info for different phones and don't know if these codes will work.
In my search the closest that I found was this quote from this thread...
"When using this ROM my device shows up as "Mid-Tex Cellular" on the Android Market.
Is there any way to change this?
..............................................
change the line in build.prop that is closest to this to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us
it should have come as this out of the box
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us"
When I look in my build.prop I can't find anything close to this?
A little help for a worthless noob would be awesome.
Well first I would simply try adding that line to your build.prop. Just because it isn't there doesn't mean you can't add it .
As for Google Music, I am a member of the service but haven't messed with the app on my phone. Only listened to it on the webUI. I guess I need to try on my phone .
Edit - did you just try installing the apk directly? Seems like a much easier solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655
Edit 2 - just installed that apk myself, works fine. For some odd reason I can only get it to show local music tho, I don't see any of my music that's "in the cloud"... hum.

hey,
check whether your google account sync in settings is syncing to google music. also for me, I had to restart my phone to get the app to realize that my google account had music beta.

I checked the sync settings, that was my first thought.
I'm leaning towards your second suggestion, since I haven't rebooted since installing it. Thanks for the suggestions.
I also had to do some crafty work clearing caches and such to get it to pick up my online account

i went into the application manager too in setting and cleared the data for the application too.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I searched like crazy for music beta, and never came up with that thread... I am going to try it as soon as my lazy phone decides it wants to work. LOL
This is what I am talking about with the Mid-Tex Cellular, I have gone to the web site, the market etc... and it wont allow it to install. So this is why I was thinking about changing the build.prop, but I don't exactly know how to... I have searched, but I don't know if I can just add some random code from my first post and have it work?

Fine! Be that way... Now I don't need to because it seems to be working perfectly. The sound out of the headphones is great, but the external speaker is really quiet. All in all, God I love android! Thank you everyone.
Hi guys,
I'm using SVOX Classic for TextToSpeech. When I use the navigation in Google Maps everything works fine. But after aber 3-4 minutes of navigation the damn voice starts to read some weblinks. And it starts to spell every single letter, point, backslash...everything. Does anyone have the same problem?
I have the same issue.
It reads the xml file that comes from google for the voice guidance...
ok, at least now I know what's the problem. Any suggestions how to deactivate?
You'll have to wait for Nuance to fix this bug. I send in a bug report to "[email protected]" a few days ago, haven't heard back since.
Yall are doing better than me! When I try to use Gnav, and some other apps, with SVOX I get the "you must have tts installed" error message then the app closes. But some other apps work fine with it.?

I have purchased grace and also it does not work. When I start some applications using SVOX, it ask me to install the language files, which is already installed....
It sucks

Ahhh, Grace With a little pitch editing she sounds smoking hot, sometimes I enter sexual phrases in the box for her to read.
Did I say that out-loud? LOL
serious side, I get the same issue...
they havent released an update for a while now. either they are clueless and cant include ics support or they dont seem to care since they have my money. the version currently on the market does not work with android 4.x
Still no reply from the devs. I guess its time to down rank and move on. Anybody know of a good alternative that works with ICS?
I still have to test the TTS engine with maps navigation, but IVONA seems like a good alternative (and its free while still in beta):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ivona.tts&feature=search_result
All languages: https://market.android.com/developer?pub=IVONA+Software
I'll update this post once I tested it with maps navigation.
Edit: works and the voice is so much better than the stock one, great alternative!
I have been trying to track down some issues i have been having with Google Now on Jelly Bean, and I have realized there are a few different versions of teh google search apk, (sometimes labled velvet.apk) in the wild.
2.0.0.398337 2.0.0.392829 and v2.0.0.402395 all exist at a minumum.
With the latest AOKP AUG25 build containing the lowest of the three at 2.0.0.392829 i am curious what other versions there are.
A few tests can be done that will hopefully help me to narrow down the issues at hand. Under Settings>Privacy and Accounts, there should be an option that allows you to use google.com for search instead of local domain, but this option does not exist on my build. I think that this may be why my gNow does not work as well as some other individuals.
For instance,
When I ask google "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" a voice response returns "Kobe Bryant is 6 foot 6 inches tall" ...
When I ask google "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" it simple shows the results in google, with no card, but if i ask "What is the height of the Eiffel Tower? the voice response is given. It has been verified by others using the higher versions of google search that asking "how tall is" works just fine on their end.
Additionally, (and this may be across the board for all instances of GNOW) when i try to use the offline feature the only ability gnow has is to make a phone call. One would assume that being able to create alarms, and send text would still be available.
If anyone can help shed some light onto this issue please comment below. Also i have linked to the gnexus guide for google now for function reference.
http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2665843&topic=2590357&ctx=topic
As well as the configuration page for google now on xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740542
It may just be that we need to pull the google search apk from the nexus and load it onto our phone (running a JB based rom of course)
I would like to further expand on this. I used to say 44th president or 43 president etc, and it would say george Bush, Barak, etc... But now it only shows the text answer. Did google change something or what?

If i ask "41st president" i get a text response. IF i ask "Who was the 41st president" I get a spoke answer. This remains true until the 16th president. From that point and lower all answers are text based.
Something foul is definitely afoot here.
I noticed the same thing. Asking what's the weather on the Nexus gives weather then says "here's the forecast for the week" unlike on our GS2
this truly may be in the wrong thread, but i put it here because i thought it was an issue with our rom...I wonder if i can report my own thead.
Can we just pull the apk from a nexus 7? Lol

Even though you think its a rom issue I believe this thread is better served and supported in Q&A as previously advised I think you need to ask a mod to move for you. I assume you want answers and not flamers and leaving it here will get more of the matter "

Awesome app. Very accurate especially for a small keyboard. Only thing was that I didn't like how it bundled all my notifications on my phone. Also would suggest Suggestions for misspelled words, like if I spell dfg, it should show me options dog, dig etc but doesn't seem to give me suggestions for misspelled words only for completing the correct spelled words. Also (and I'm sure its in the works for future release), swipe would be an awesome feature. will continue using this beta version as it is very well stable version for daily use. (Using it with Asus Zenwatch 2)

We are glad that you like Drextee Messenger! Thank you very much for your feedback! Regarding bundling notifications, that part is still a work in progress and most probably will change in future versions.
Misspelling which happens because of the small size of keys (i.e., fat finger errors) can be easily corrected by dragging finger on the keyboard. Please see the demo: https://youtu.be/Bvlk3_4MOvA?t=28s
Using this technique for correcting errors is much faster than pressing the backspace and retyping, specially when the error happened a few letters before.
We are working on a technique which makes typing much faster. Please stay tuned and let us know your feedback. We are listening!
