So I have an Evo 4G and am running 2.3.7 cm7 and I've been having weird problems with the browser and quick search box app which constantly force closes and tells me that com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox fc'd and that I should try again.
This culminated in a freeze of my device entirely at which time I had to pull my battery. Unfortunately now swype is fcing as well. Any help would be appreciated.
p.s. I looked for similar threads and only found two, neither of which helped at all.
Wipe the big 3 and install the latest google apps and it should work. Give it a try!

Problem solved
I did that well before I posted to the thread for help (I know, I should have added that to the original question) so I tried flashing and had no luck. I could boot into recovery but not flash anything. So I used a different memory card installed and this time it worked. Wtf is going on with my phone?
SOLUTION!

I Just figured it out! I had the same problem in my Droid GTR 1.5 Build (ROM)I am planning on releasing tomorrow morning. Just found out that the Google Quick Search Box.apk file in your App folder in your ROM must be re-named to: com.google.android.googleguicksearchbox.apk. That allows the instructions in the script to locate the application when you tap the search bar in the widget or explorer in your browser. Hope I helped you. So re-name that apk file and re-flash that rom.

It says Package file was not signed correctly when I try to install it. Could this have something to do with the ROM I'm using?
I'm running skyraider 2.2 and it installed perfectly for me; straight from the market. The alarm clock function doesn't work but I think that's an issue with sense rather than the rom.

Which Skyraider? I'm using the aiccucus rom which is a non sense rom so maybe that's the problem?
I'm on CM 6 nightly, didn't install for me either.
Yeah, I am using the sense rom but if anything I'd figured that it'd play nicer with vanilla.
E: here's my apk if it helps any.

Do you mean that the update didn't go through or it doesn't look any different? Like the337 said, there's a bunch of new features.
If the video upon first start works, watch that. Neat stuff.

Sorry guys, I just deleted the VoiceSearch.apk from my phone and voice search still works which means this file isn't the one you're looking for.
From Twitter:
cyanogen: Yes I know the new Voice Search won't install on CM because of different signatures. Should be fixable.

Is anyone else using the new voice search getting a Force Close every time you try any of the new functions which depend on (afaik) gmail -- such as "note to self" "send email to..." and so on? Other functions work fine such as "call such and such" or "listen to whatever", but anything message-like causes a FC when I press 'send' from the text-confirmation window.
I am running on the 8/1 leak, and have tried various things all to no avail including clearing application data, uninstalling old versions first (by different methods), not uninstalling old versions first, and all with nandroid restores in-between. Any more ideas?
EDIT: OK, some progress. It seems that there is an issue with the Gmail.apk that I was using (version 2.2.1). If I removed or renamed it, then the messaging functions of the new voice search would not force close, but would instead look for another mail handler (such as htc). I then tried pushing via adb the Gmail.apk that was originally in the 8/1 leak (version 2.2) and to my surprise everything works now. I will mess around a bit more to see if I can get a 2.2.1 working again without it causing a FC, but it seems that is where my issue was.
Voice search installed fine on jager rom v3.2 no force closes yet. I've tried to use the note to self voice action, but after I say the command it asks to send an email with an empty subject and body message.
hey everyone, if you're having trouble getting the voice search to work. Vlingo just made their android app free on the market so i downloaded it and it works fairly well. it was previously 10 dollars. i know it's not the new google voice search but i'm going to try and use that until this gets working or we get an official OTA 2.2.
my incredible is unable to find it on the market so i used my girlfriends droid. I had to first delete voicesearch.apk to get it to install. I got it installed and working. So now i want to make a copy to send to my incredible but the problem is i dont see it anywhere on my phone. Not under /system/app or /data/app. Not a single app is showing as even being written on the current date, yet the voice search works.
UPDATE:
I didn't see a com.google.android.voicesearch or com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox, so I just removed the 2 apk's, and voice search installed just fine.
Saw a force quit during note to self.
I found this article on CM forums, but do these instructions apply to the Incredible running CM?
I'm running CM test 8, but the pm uninstall commands don't seem to want to work - I'm getting this error:
pm: exec: line 7: app_process: not found
Does anyone know how we can uninstall VoiceSearch.apk as well as the widget?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4231-installing-updated-voice-search/
adb pull /system/app/ ~/Desktop/app/
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell rm -f /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

I just tried using the "note to self" and it did FC on me when I hit send. So you aren't the only one. I'm using Skyraider Vanilla 2.5 for reference.

Running the 8/1 leak, 2.2.1 GMail. "note to self" with the updated voice search works fine for me.
I have it running in a CM6 Nightly. I removed it with titanium backup. Rebooted and it installed. I may of wiped cache too.
I was able to install it using Skyraider Vanilla with no problems.
Now the Chrome to phone app wouldn't install, I think it was because I already had that app installed which it was an older version of that app.
I recently flashed CM6 final and after applying a few new shortcuts with folder organizer and replacing the metamorphs I now realize that the market is giving me a network error. Tried wiping over and over with RA and reflashing fresh and steelh's rom and now my 3g is borked.. I recently gained a 1.4 Pri.. I'm stumped and about to go to the sprint store. What is weird is that this xda app works but when I reflash I can't even sign into my google acount to sync. Nandroid doesn't fix my market problem either... ugh maybe I have over looked a thread somewhere.. please any advice would be appreciated.
Edit: SORRY I FOUND THE THREAD..
where's the thread? DID YOU FIx it/ how?
Hey guys,
I just flashed the CM7 RC, which CM stated to pretty stable and fine for everyday use. I downloaded the RC from within ROM Manager and did a wipe. Install went perfect and everything was as it should be. I then go into Market to download the Google Apps. When I try to open any of these apps though they all force close. I went and tried to download a few other apps(FB, Twitter, etc) and they all do the same. The apps that came with the ROM (Torch, FileManager,ROM Manager) all work fine...
I tried a reboot, but the problems continue.
I guess I'll try to flash again form the SD-Card this time to see if it has the same problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Incredible510
Read through the development thread, people are having problems with rc 1 build.
For the time being, im sticking to nightliessince they are stable most of the time.
Ok thanks.
Do you know the differences between the RC and the nightly builds?

From what i have gathered, nightlies continue to be in development wirh new rhings being added. Rc are bundled wirh the most best applicable things and left as is...or to shiw what the final build will look like.
Nightlies continue even after final build most of the time.
A senior member might want to chime in on this as well.
Edit....in newer builds my simeji app seems to be colliding with android keyboard ap via adw launcher...dont know what to do haha.
Apps will FC because its gingerbread. Also this is a known problem with GB and CM7.

Oh ok. So its on the app side.
So i went and downloaded it again, this time flashing from the SD-Card. Everything came up fine, but when I started up I didnt go through a google account setup and theres no market.
Any way to get the market app?
Thanks
Here is the deal, first the permissions are not right when you are getting the FCs. Go into rom manager and click fix permissions. Also I thought this forum had intelligent members .... gingerbread is not to blame for any force closing. It is completely backwards compatible. I am running CM7 RC and it is working after 2 tries and fixed permissions. No problems.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
And you forgot to download the Google apps package with your CM7. You will have to redownload and reinstall to get the market back on until they release a separate Google apps add on for GB
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok thanks, but where is that Google Apps Package download?
It came with the download from ROM Manager, but not when I downloaded it from CM's site(http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/220-update-cm-700-rc1-inc-signedzip/).
If you could direct me to the download that includes the GApps it would be really appreciated it.
Thanks.

Thank You So Much!
This fixed all problems.
I'm also running CM7 RC1 with zero problems. When I first installed it, I got tons of FC's on the first boot. I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. After that, everything has been running fantastic.
Everything has been fine for me running cm 7. Now today, force closes on anything internet related. Browsers, reader, market etc... Have fixed permissions, flashed clean on a factory reset. Any ideas?? Also are there other apps that fix permissions besides rom manager?
Edit: Got everything working off a clean install. Oh and cwrecovery fixes permissions (face palm).
Maybe unrelated but why does setcpu never give an accurate core speed report using the widget? Example: two hours ago I set the CPU to 1113 to test neocore. After the test I idled it back down to 998. The widget never updated and now two hours later it still hasn't updated and it still says its at 1113. The only way to get the widget to reflect my current setting is to remove it and then place it back on the screen.

i have samsung sgh-t989 that has been rooted and is running the darkside 2.5.1 dewizzed rom. everything else works perfect, but search widget text input area stays grayed out. voice search force closes right after inputting voice. any known fixes? would've posted in the rom thread if i could, but don't have 10 posts. reposting from general forum.
Have you tried to fix permissions in recovery? Usually fixes most FC issues.

Try unistalling search from market and ibstalling again. Also do the same for voice search. But try this after you have tried clearing cache , dalvik and fixing permissions in recovery menu. Did you do a flash without wiping or with?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
thanks for suggestions let me get on them
The 10 post thing has thrown me for a few loops as well as I did some debugging on the CM7 ROM but couldn't contribute on the Dev thread. Let me know if you get this fixed as I have not tried to set up the Search at all yet.
RK and Darkside Team...thanks so much for Dewizzed. I've been running it for about a week without any issues and will flash 2.5.1 tomorrow. Best of luck with your son and baby situations...prayers to you.
One thought: on my Glacier (and on CM7 on the SGS2) SIP calling was enabled and I used it a LOT. Is there any possibility on adding that sometime in the future? Or is that something that Samsung has crippled so much that it is not possible unless I move to CM7 (but then I lose Wifi Calling)?
Thank you!!
fixing permissions in recovery didnt work, wiped cache+dalvik cache before and after flashing but didnt work. dev thread said to install search from market and change permissions to rw+r+r after moving it into system/app but nope. hmm the OP says that 5.0.2.7 cwm is required but is 5.0.2.6 ok? the one i found when looking to root was 5.0.2.6
nevermind, advice from dev thread worked for search(forgot to reboot), need a workaround for voice search fc now.
Did you move the file to system or did you use Titanium to promote it to a system app? I've heard others say that the Titanium works well.
i manually moved it with root browser lite, did not know titanium had that
As I noted I have not tried it yet. If you find something that works for you please post it!
its getting late ill troubleshoot tomorrow, search works but voice still fc after input
update: okay new information, been only trying to search with voice search. turns out other commands work, so only search with voice does not work.
bump read somewhere that this is caused by removal of stock browser?
Amazingly, there are no search results for my issue, that I can find.
Anytime I go to use Swype, it pops up with a message that says it will not work until I update it. It's referring to the system update, however I'm running RandomRom EI22. I've also gotten the annoying system update message, even after freezing it in Terminal and deleting the file in Titanium. I've even let it try and update, let it fail, go into recovery and wipe cache. My Swype just won't work.
Any ideas?
Here is the instruction from RandomKing:
1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:
- /system/app/Swype.apk
- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]
2. Next, head here to download the installer.
3. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Remove Swype with root explorer and go to Swype's website on download their newest beta.

Nevermind. Working now. Good luck.
Does anyone know if the swipe broke on stock?
Edit: Tested a stock EL30 Epic and swype still does work. Wonder why it broke on custom roms.
Most custom roms broke because these roms were running with beta swypes. Stock had older production version, I assume.
Only worked for a couple of days
Installed the new beta and it worked for 2 days. Now all the beta says is "please try again" every time I try and Skype. It is like before I installed the beta. If anyone can help that would be great.
installed new swype - but it force closes
I am facing the same issue but on my AT&T SGS2 running ICS'd out ROM.. All it says is new update available. please update to continue. I tried all steps to uninstall the current one (using root explorer) and install fresh from beta.swype.com but to no avail.. the new swype force closes.. Any solutions?
Edit:
FIX:
This is what worked for me::
1. Uninstall the newly installed swype beta (which caused force closes) via manage applications.
2. Delete (or move or rename) the following file: /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
3. Restart your phone and go to beta.swype.com and repeat the instructions to install swype beta.
Worked for me =)

I had the same issue. I ended up just completely removing Swype through the phone and reinstalling it. It's working flawlessly now for days.
The only downside is losing your personal dictionary. Not much of a big deal really.

You have to delete its .lib file also not just the apk. And before you delete it id also go into the app manager in settings and delete the data and cache and what not from swype
