if your rooted use rootexplore and remove it lol
You would need to be rooted to uninstall qik. Then you should use Titanium Backup to uninstall it.

Oh yea it is a system app. I forgot it was bloatware. Learn the adb commands don't use titanium knowledge is power!

use titanium, you dont have to know anything....
OK.. I tried installing Titanium and it doesn't let me.. I AM ROOTED but I don't have any roms loaded, just a stock rooted phone..
All help is appreciated!
If you are sure you are rooted its simple get root explorer and go to system then app folder scroll down to the qik apk and then hit the R/O button at the the top to give you permission to delete files and then highlight and delete it.
Now this will only work if your phone is rooted... double check that since your Titanium method did not work...

OK GREAT!! THANKS!!
Now.. Do I just press and hold to bring up the menu and then hit DELETE ???
or is there an actual uninstall portion to this?
Also.. Another question.. Should I remove "ASTRO" and use root explorer as my file manager?

As a newbie, I downloaded EVERYTHING, lol, and now starting to get serious with the phone and cleaning things up.. (as I am sure like everyone)
I downloaded so many different apps, but keeping the ones I know I will use
fyi - this forum has the answer to damn near everything and before you post anything and these guys go crazy just look it up to the best of your knowledge... There is also a list in here of apps safe to remove incase you want to remove more crap. I advise you to do a nandroid of your current rom before you starting playing around with your phone though... Good luck and welcome aboard...

If not, please explain as it seems everyone uses different lingo, yet its just to make people that are new to this (ME) confused
and I'm coming from windows, where we call "ROMS" .. "Kitchens"
Yes it is but its done on the phone and not with outside software. Hey I am coming from a Diamond and a Touch Pro so I know but this forum has it all. I was here and PPCGeeks... if you are unsure of anything just google it with xda an the end and it normally finds you help here... google how to do a nandroid xda... see what happens..
Yea please backup/nandroid whatever you want to call it and then mess with your phone.... so if you mess up you can nandroid back to when it was working... do this before you make any changes to your phone.. IMO

Everything should be stock - Rom and Recovery for Universal Exploit to work.

Ok, so I ran the tool choosing 'Universal Exploit' and 'Flash HBOOT Image' and it all goes swimmingly until the device reboots. I get taken to the phone+red triangle warning screen and a 'cannot find file' error pops up (see attached image file).
Any ideas? Device is defo set to USB Debugging mode. Was plugged in as 'Charge Only' - should this suffice? Or should it be connected via HTC Sync or something else?
Cheers for any help OP.
P.S. Was able to reboot 'phone fine, so nothing bad has happened

OK, so I tried your app again but this time didn't bother with Flash HBOOT Image and everything appeared to go OK.
However, I noticed in the log that 3 of the files (Busybox, su and Superuser.apk) had failed to copy across (out of memory?), despite the operation apparently having been completed (see attached jpg).
Also, when the device had rebooted, I tried to use the Application Status Bar and received the following error message:
"application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The above message also contained a 'Force Close' button which on pressing obviously disables the Status Bar.
The device is still working, other than this error, but I'm not seeing any change to root capability - guessing it's because Busybox, su and Superuser failed to copy across? Could I just copy them on to the device manually?
Cheers in advance for any info.
Free up some memory on your device and be sure to delete everything in /data/local/tmp also. I will add error checking for the out of memory error in next release.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately, after doing the above, running the app is still giving the same error and the Application Status Bar is also still giving the same error.
To make doubly sure, I backed up my device and restored it to Factory Settings (which cured the original app Status Bar error). This also meant that all data was erased from the device so memory shouldn't be an issue. However, as said above, the app is still returning the same memory error?
I'm happy to keep giving this a go so let me know your thoughts.
Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it.

It's not fake and as a recognised developer in the xda community I can safely say there is no possible way my app can brick your device unless you flash an incorrect hboot which then is your own fault and risk!

Don't worry, chap, I don't think there's anything fake about what you're trying with this app. Unlike the person above who claimed you were. I mean, £500 to un-brick a Wildfire S?!?! You could probably buy 4 of them brand new for that amount of cash!
Is it worth me giving your updated version of the app another go? If the app finds an error with HTC patching the exploit will the app simply terminate and return my device to its original state?
Any info greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Yes its fine the command will report permission denied to the app if the exploit is patched so the app will inform you.

Device is running fine, i.e. it's working like it was before attempting the Root, so no worries in that regard. :good:

I need to figure out why the files will not push to the device. It looks like temp root is achieved which is half the battle. At least you know the exploit works on your device. I'll look into the out of memory error.

My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.
Finally, I'm offering $10 via PayPal to the person who can help me fix this issue. Thanks!

Have you tried using an alternative camera app, to make sure the internal SD is working with photos? I suggest CameraICS, it'll be the closest other than CameraJB+, which is a paid app

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.

I believe this has persisted past a couple of ROM installs but I will install AOKP JB B4 when I get home tonight and see what happens.
Will update in ~3-4 hours when I get home and have time to do this. Maybe corrupted GAPPS? Is that the package with Camera / Gallery in it?

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

Just finished flashing GAPPS and AOKP JB B4 from here:
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/jb-build-4-r32
Verified the MD5 of both before flashing. And the same exact problem is persisting. Gallery crashes when attaching through MMS and camera photos end up lost in the ether, never saved to SD card.

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26967620&postcount=7
Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits
Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)
I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.
If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

you dont need to import to eclipse, all you do is just decompile it and change false to true.

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.
I'm on PA

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).
It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

Would be nice if this could be activated with any language.
Is it possible by changing any other flag?

Deodex stock rom
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hello All,
Been using XDA ever since my switch to Android, almost a year ago. For the most part I never had to write because all questions seem to be addressed with a bit of searching.
With that said, I just updated my Note 3 to KitKat using this amazing guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393, worked flawlessly - no hassles.
On to my problem. While on 4.3, I flashed a mod that changes the one-handed operation mode from blue to black. After playing with KitKat for no longer than 6 minutes, I got annoyed with the stock blue background, and in my infinite wisdom decided to flash the Mod to change it to black again.
To make a long story, it goes into one handed operation mode, it is black the way I like it (because I use this stupid function so damn much), but it doesn't respond properly at the upper and lower portions of the reduced size screen.
Any ideas on how to revert back to stock? Or better yet, is there a Mod that actually works with KitKat?
Thank you in advance!
edit: Sorry, just realized this was posted to the wrong forum.
factory reset
Factory reset won't help, here's Easy one hand taken from XNote. I believe that it'll work.
Just push it into the system with the correct permissions.

Thank you for your help, unfortunately it didn't work. I downloaded the APK, made sure "Unknown Sources" was checked. After attempting to install, I get a message saying "X App not installed".

I'm guessing that your rooted. Uninstall the Easyonehand.apk using titanium backup then use a root explorer and copy the file into system -> app then change the permissions then reboot.
