Hey guys, I'm using the latest ViperX ROM (4.0.5) running 4.2.2 Android.
The preloaded Google Search app, which is supposed to be Google Now has only partial functionality. When I start it up, it shows only the search bar and no cards. Some of the voice commands (like setting alarms and emails) work, but others (like setting a reminder) show a box that I need to opt-in to Google Now, after which doing, go back to the search screen, and the same thing happens.
I tried clearing cache, uninstalling and redownloading from the Play store, downloading an older version, making sure the language is EN-US, but so far nothing has helped. Any ideas?
The next step is to try to change roms, but I want to stay on ViperX and still have Google Now functionality
Have same problem with htc one officiall 4.3 ROM.

I have problem with Quick Lookup app on my HTC Desire HD. When I tap and select word in browser and select Quick Lookup, app opens for an instace and then close and open browser tab with google search so I'm unable to search wiki, youtube, translate tabs in Quick Lookup app.
Tried clearing data and cache, and restarting OS but nothing worked. Any suggestions?
Anyone? I know there is a lot smart people here and I think that I'm not the only one with this annoying problem.

Exactly, problem appearing on Google search and Wikipedia, in my case. Once I managed to fix problem with restarting phone and clearing data of Quick Lookup. Now it's not working. I can't figure out is problem causing some installed app or something else. Very disappointing because I really use to this app.
Did anyone try to do something else to fix this problem?

In setting--->Application, you can search the app "Quick Lookup" on 40KB, clean everything and set default. should work

I cleaned everything in app settings but set default option is dimmed and not accessible so I think it's already default. After that I restart phone but it's not working. :-(

Just to update theme. After the newest update to android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 problem with Quick Lookup still persist. Really annoying. Did anyone find a solution?

when i go to my google app store APP-----> my apps----> all :
there is this app named TestMash , and it say "installed" ... !!!
never heard of it never installed this app before !!? but when i go to apps in my phone menue it s not in there, same with titanium backup there is nothing in there !!! i m confused ...is it a virus or what is it ?
This is what testmash is. It's not in my list at the playstore. Uninstall it. You must have picked it up somewhere. Maybe it came with your ROM

Have it in my list as well, also showing as installed. No option to uninstall and says incompatible with my device. Very odd.
I have it on my One X as well. Can't uninstall, even with a third-party uninstaller ("Easy Uninstall"). IF anyone knows how to force uninstall I'd love to know (not rooted currently).
I did have the same app on my One X as well,did a reset reinstalled apps one at a time and it was back after I updated Google Maps(second app updated). As far as uninstalling app without reset it can be achieved with a rooted device. Not sure the ins and outs but know it can be done. Hope this helps some of you.
Me too
New HTC One X - got it this afternoon from AT&T store
OTA update installed.
I'm seeing TestMashed also.
So this is something apparently installed with Google Maps?
Is it possible many people have this as well?
But because it is listed in such an obscure location most users are not noticing...

I do have some details but not much
Posted here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/178866-whats-weird-app-one-x.html
Apple Patents dispute, Caller ID tie in, now here I read it has to do with Google Maps? (confused)
testmashed again
Thought I was done with TestMashed until I took a look in Play Store. This time I did nothing and it was back going to try to uninstall or delete now that I rooted One X,will repost with results after I'm done. Also did not update Google Maps like in previous post so completely confused now.
Hi Guys
1. Is there a way to remove unwanted apps from my apps in Google play?
2. Is there a mod to stop music being interrupted by notifications or the least by co-pilot gps?
1. There is two type of apps installed. First type is normal app, which you installed from Google Play or Manually. Second type is system app which come along with the phone, you can saw those on first boot. YOu can't uninstalled those, but you can disabled them through Settings >> Apps.
2. As what i knew, the answer is no. In common sense, a phone notification(sms..) is crucial than music playback.
Thx Man
Point 1 I know I just want to get rid off apps in my apps in Google play. You know apps that you installed to test and did not like or apps you do not use/can not use anymore like my old Motorola apps from very old android that are now part of os.
Point 2 odd excuse it is for me to decide not them. Other OS's out there (old or new) do not have that issue.

On a cm rom I used back on my xperia x8 music was lowered to play the notification and not cut out completely, so it can be done.

1. If your app comes from Google play, you can uninstall from setting->app and choose app that you want to uninstall
2. If your app comes within your ROM, you can install root explorer and then open choose system-> app from that folder choose apk that you want to uninstall after that reboot your phone to take the effect..
Note : for option 2 your phone must be rooted..

Sure it can be done, but for now no developers is providing this mod. As what i know this will need to tweak allow muxing channels. I remembered the ICS add some support for audio channels.
Regarding your first question (seeing as everyone seems to have misunderstood and is telling you how to remove apps from your device); no, I don't think there's any way to do that. The Play store always shows all apps you've ever installed and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify that behaviour (either on the device or on the web). I'm not sure of the logic behind not being able to edit that history.
Make a new google-account? No history anymore
And no purchased apps and no mail and no good solution.
2 silent mode should prevent notification from interrupting music
The new play update let's you remove from my apps section, it's floating around the forum somewhere I installed it earlier

Not quite sure if this belongs in the category, but here goes.
Couple minutes ago, I installed the Goodness rom on my AT&T S3 i747. Works perfectly, is absolutely gorgeous. Here's the problem.
Upon first launch of Play store (to restore data from games, texts, etc) everything ran slightly slow. Then, closing the Playstore, I notice that the ugly 4.x play store logo was there, instead of the black/blue beauty that is Goodness rom. With Play store's automatic updating of apps, a lot of them have changed. I want to know how to change them back.
Do I simply reflash the rom without deleting data? Or wipe everything again and prevent google from updating?
Further problems from further exploration:
Alarm time will not show up on alarm widget.
Trying to install 3rd party applications - impossible because the 'unknown sources' option will not stay checked.
Camera no longer works.

It's actually an older rom, from what I can tell. No user updates about it in a while. Here's the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278981
Why would you want to run a rom that is so old and not updated?
I have been running 4.1.2 for a long time and google now always worked fine. When the 4.4 home screen apks came out I installed them and was really enjoying having google now as a homescreen page. Last week I installed the ditto note rom and ever since then I can not get google now to work, I have tried everything that I have found when searching (Why doesn't xda search support speech marks though?) Last night I did a super wipe and installed pheonix rom but still the problem persists. What am I doing wrong?
Since installing DN3 I have tried:
changing language to english us - still no google now
changing to english uk and downloading offline data - still no google now
clearing google search app data - still no google now
upgrading google search to lastest version - still no google now
downgrading to dn3 default version - - still no google now
installing 4.4 apks - still no google now
super wipe and install phoenix rom - still no google now (shouldn't superwipe kill any possibility of it being something on phone that did it?)
languages again - still no google now
installing launcher enabler - still no google now
So is it one of the following?
Google decided that an English speaker in China doesn't get google now anymore? On the exact day I upgraded my rom?
I'm being punished for installing the 4.4 apks early?
These two roms don't support google now?
superwipe isn't super?
Google now was bad for me and the universe is staging an intervention?
Please help

Hmmm.. looks like it must be something similar to how location reporting got disabled for many countries.. For a company that talks so much about transparency I sure wish they would explain why they are disabling these features that used to work fine simply because I happen to be in another country. Is it an international law thing?

It makes me really uupset to. I know that google now/voice search requires active location settings... I think the Chinese government demanded that googole disable location tracking for internal security (closed market/monopoly),,,,
I dont want to see maps blocked here s I guess it is a balancing act. I hate to see the other features of googe blocked....
From what I can tell it works perfectly fine if you set it up from an earlier version of google search.. For me that means probably a reflash without install search then finding an earlier apk version to initialize it.. Will report back on progress..

Success!
What worked for me was:
I reflashed the rom I was using but chose not to install google search as a system app. You could just try to remove the app with Titanium, it should have the same effect.
On first boot I didn't sign in to google at all. Instead I first installed the search2.6 apk from the below link.
Then I opened google play and signed in and quickly went to turn off auto update.
Then I opened google search and it asked me to opt-in to google now.
Once it was all running I went back to google play and let it update and also installed the launcher enabler app.
Hope this helps someone.

Working 100% now. I'm pretty sure it's a location at time of setup issue. Good luck trying it on your nexus4.
