Google search/now force closing? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I have a google search widget on my home screen and when i try to look up something in the google search app and press enter on my keyboard it just force closes.
I also noticed that in the stock browser that the logo next to the address bad no longer shows the google icon.
Not sure what I did? I remember uninstalling "Clean Master" and "System Tuner" before it happened, but before I uninstalled it I restored the defaults on the system tuner app.
ALSO, I had google searched greenify'd so I converted it back into a system app.
please help!

Clear cache and data of Google search using the app manager in settings.
If that doesn't work, uninstall Google search entirely and reflash gapps.

The first option didn't work, but uninstalling it and reininstalling it did! Thank, I was about to panic!

Seeing how latitude is part of the maps app, you could try to uninstall updates on the maps app and then update it through the market. You can also just try clearing data on your maps app. That may or may not fix it. I wouldn't try to uninstall maps or related services directly, as they are pretty tied into the phone. You are better off just restoring the whole phone if the other two options I gave don't work (but they should)
I think when I tried to uninstall Latitude, the Maps app went away. So I reinstalled Maps (and Latitude came back as well). I just ignore Latitude.

Personally, my pet peeve with Latitude is that if you accidentally set it as a default launcher, you can't undo that. I've tried going through App Management (clear defaults), tried "ClearDefault" app on the market, nothing works ...
I'm about to try uninstalling it with Titanium and hoping that reinstalling Maps will set everything back to the way it was so I can select the right laucher when I try to view someone's address directly from the People App.
Has anyone else had problems clearing the default data for Latitude/Locations?

Weird glitch, need help!

Today, I went to the Market to update some of my apps and ROM Manager automatically started updating. Then, the Market forced closed and whenever I try to open it, it force closes again. In my notification bar it says I am downloading three things, and they are all called ROM Manager. I tried a reboot, but no fix. Then I tried killing all apps, which didn't work. Then I tried to turn data off in settings, and it did nothing. xScope automatically now force closes too.
I have CM7 nightly build #26. Any ideas?
Have you tried clearing the market cache?

Thank you, that fixed my immediate problems!
However, now when I click "My Apps" in the Market, it only shows my purchased apps, and not my free installed apps. Why is this?

Well, for starters, you just wacked your local market cache.
I believe it refreshes with time (has for me in the past). Give it a day/reboot or two and check again.
I think pronghornrunner is right. They should show eventually but it will take some time.
Aren't thanks guys. No worries then!

Auto installing apps from the market.

Anyone know how to shut this off? I have about 40 apps that are repeatedly trying to reinstall themselves daily. I obviously don't want them to andnindont prompt them to. So annoying. Can I shut this off somehow?

Try going into Settings > Backup & Reset and untick automatic restore.
I have the same issue but unchecking that setting didn't work. Still installing the apps over and over again.

Are you using another app store, like app brain or the Amazon app store?

Nope. Only the android market. I tried clearing the cache and turning off the auto update. The only thing I haven't tried (yet) is a factory reset. I haven't figured out what is triggering it yet either.
Have u tried clearing data from Market and Google Framework Services?
or settings inside app market?...

If you are talking about apps automatically updating, then go to the Market/Menu/Settings and uncheck Auto-Update. And while there, if you don't want to be notified when an app has an update, uncheck the notification check box too.
But be aware that apps are usually only updated to correct issues or to add/improve features.
Good luck.

No, but if I do what other data will be deleted? Google accounts?
You won't lose anything, just delete the data and reboot (you're deleting locally, not from the servers). Account will reset it's self. You may still get the auto download, but once you uninstall they should stay uninstalled...
Hit the settings button in the pull down. Select Apps, use the All tab and the clear data button will be under the apps I mentioned...

OK Google anywhere detection after 5.0.1 update

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.
