Anyone who could be so kind to guide me in the right direction on how to restore the searchbar? Hopefully with as little huzzle as possible.
Was fiddling around and managed to deactivate it..

Scroll down to Google Search, then Enable
Hope that helps
Actually its not in the app list anymore. I lost predictions from SwiftKey aswell. Tried to run the googlesearch.apk from system. This fixes the SwiftKey issue, but still no searchbar.

What Will T said is correct. I can suggest that you scroll to the bottom of the 'All' apps list and you should see it there. That list is sorted with disabled apps at the bottom.
OK I got it fixed now. But to clear things up if someone else encounters the same problem as me:
In the app list, google search only gave me the option to "force stop" and "remove installed updates" aswell as "remove data". I was not given the option to "enable" it again. Tried to install from system and reboot with no effect. Tried to force stop the app and then suddenly the enable option appeared.

Menu, settings, applications, manage applications, select xda app, then clear data
All i get is "Uninstall", "Clear cache" which is greyed out and "Clear Defaults" which is also greyed out then "Force Stop" at the bottom?
EDIT: I just tried "Wipe Data" for the XDA app in Titamium Backup but that hasnt made any difference either.
Also tired logging in through my browser on my x10 which works fine and logged out again

Same thing here on my Desire & four other family members android phones, it doesn't happen all the time, strangely it allways happens when i do a search for certain things, eg: moto gp, very strange.
cheers guys,it seem to be ok now.
I'm also experiencing problems with the new market: Sometimes when I tap on install it only downloads the App but doesn't install it. I have to repeat the download two or three times to have the app installed correctly.
The same obviously happens with updates, especially if there is more than one App to update.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or, even better, does anyone have a solution for this?
I'm in AuraxTSense 8.2.

Anyone got any ideas for getting this to work with google music? I want my cloud with voice commands.
Sent from my SGH-T999
It won't work for Google Music. Only the Samsung stock music app
Seems silly they'd put this option in our main settings and not application local if it wasn't intended for developers as an option.

Anyone know if this is part of S-Voice or which APK?
I have removed lots of system apps, long ago, and now realized this option is gone and I don't know which system app to restore.
Thanks.
go to Settings > Language and input, and set the 'Voice cmd for apps' toggle to on. You can also tap on that entry to see what commands are available and select which ones you want to activate.

Nice of you to help but you are missing the point - these option do not appear on my device in the Input/Languages screen.
Or atleast they didn't until I restored SVoice
Hi.
Since 4.2, google navigation is unable to locate me on the map. As a result it just doesn't work and stay on "locating your position" or something like that.
If I use other gps based app (such ingress, car home ultra, etc....) those app have no problem to find me accurately.
I've tried clearing cache and data in the app section of control pannel. Also in the recovery mode but no success.
I use the latest map app version
I use stock rom for yakju 4.2 on a galaxy nexus
------------------EDIT WITH THE SOLUTION-------------------
Thanx to @Enforceman here's the solution:
-on main page press the search bar at the top (box written Google following of a mike symbol). This will open Google Now
-then Google now will tell you that location service is currently Off.
-You will have a link to a setting menu to turn it on
-Go in that menu and turn it on.
THERE IS IT. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A WORKING GPS with google apps.
What Google should have done at first is that after the OTA at reboot they should have put a windows asking if we would like to turn on that feature. After a clean wipe it will work because they explain google now. But not after the ota......anyway it is done, it work, that's all that matter for me

Anyone having this issue?
I've aslo noticed that the camera app can't get geo-location infos.....but Camera FX does.
So it is really something about the google apps! Any non-google apps work perfectly with GPS and the GPS test app work fine.

I had this issue too. Other GPS apps would locate me but Google maps would not after 4.2 OTA even though location services were turned on in settings. Apparently, that setting is for non-google apps and there is another setting switch somewhere for google apps.
I found a fix after I noticed that my Google Now cards were not working. I clicked on the top search bar which brings up search and google Now. At the bottom there was a message that said my location access was turned off. I clicked on that and then clicked on the settings link that it had.
It brought me to a new white setting screen with a switch for location access which i switched to ON. It seems that this specific switch has to be on for google apps to access the GPS.
Works now. Hope that helps

I could have sworn that before the update I could use the ok google detection anywhere (after I enabled it search settings). I tried it again, and it's grayed out in the Search, Voice settings in Google Search. Only the top main option to enable OK google voice allows me to toggle it on or off.
Are you sure you weren't using Google Now launcher?

Disable S Voice in app management, reboot, then go back to Google Now settings. It shouldn't be grayed out anymore.
Woot! Your response led me on the right path. I am and was using the Google now launcher, but the reason I kept referring to Google Search (which is actually just called Google in the app store) is because I thought it was a separate app responsible for the search functionality and that it hooked into the Now launcher. So I uninstalled the standalone Google app, rebooted phone, and now the option is no longer grayed out in the voice detection section of the Now launcher settings.
I think it's strange that Google allows the Google search app to coexist and override the built in Now launcher search functionality (or at the very least seems to pull the standalone Google search app's settings when I try and configure them through the Now launcher)
I'm sooo confused right now. What I uninstalled was just an update. The "Google" search app is still installed and asking me to update it, which means it came built in to the firmware. Aarrghh!
I updated it, and the option for OK Google functionality anywhere in the phone (different apps, screen off, etc) now became grayed out again. So its' at least linked to that it seems. I also don't get the ability to train the OK Google voice recognition (also grayed out) with the updated Google (search) app. The stock, original firmware version of the app does allow it. Aggravating!
Yup I noticed the same thing, the ability seems broken after the update.

I followed the advice to disable the s voice app through the application manager, rebooted... And forgot to check it till today. Yes! Its working. I'm 99% sure it was disabling s voice that did it, and 1% possibility it was an a background google update... So I'm leaning toward the s voice fix.
Thank you to the 2nd poster above with the recommendation. Fixed it.
Hmm. My svoice is enabled and I am able 'ok google' from anywhere. Including the lock screen. I haven't actually used svoice since the update so I will try it and then see if ok google still works from everywhere.
I can 't force stop or disable S-Voice and OK Google options are grayed out. Any ideas?
In the past I was not able to disable s voice through the application manager, but this time I was.
A couple of possibilities I can think of. In the s voice settings, disable any available options that may be enabled, such as activating it via home button, etc. (Don't recall all the various settings now because it's gone completely from my application settings section)
Also, go into the Security settings of the phone and make sure s voice is not listed as a Device Administrator. I've noticed that apps can't be disabled or uninstalled as long as they're listed in this section as device admins. As usual reboot after just in case, and check if you can disable it then.
I haven't modified anything on the phone other than manually disabling a bunch of apps through application manager and replacing touchwiz with the Google Now home screen.
