Market apps?

Where do I find market apps stored to my phone. Obviously its in internel mem somewhere.. the reason I ask is I can no longer get tubedownloader from market but my mom still has it on her phone. I figured I could use hoccer to send it to myself if I could only find it

I'm pretty sure you should be able to find it under /system/app or /data/app.

How do I remove my market sign in?

So I installed cyanogenmod7 rc1 on the ole cappy, I wanted to play around with it a little before I sell it, done numerous factory resets, but all my apps and crap are still there along with my login in the market and all my email accts, any way to remove all traces of "me" from the phone without having to reflash?

Finding apps that you had that are no longer in the market?

There are a few apps I had downloaded back in June on ky EVO that are no longer in the market. I tried searching through Google for them and every link sends me to the market one way or another. Is there any way to get these again?

Are you rooted with a custom ROM by any chance?

Negative.............

Anyone........

If you still have the EVO, connect up to WiFi and go to market and download the app file manager (grey folder icon) and use its app back up area and back up the apps you want to there .apk format, and email them to your self..open app attachments from new phone and there you have it.

Or instead of emailing them to yourself you could download dropbox on both devices and download the apps to and from there. Also its free. I've had trouble with files being to large to make it out of my corporate server.

What if I want to install wizardsetup.apk .. I have rooted the phone and remove the wizardsetup.apk and now my fav calling wont work. I would be able to add to fav but it doesnt show up. Dont know if there is another app from the market that could replace it. Pls advise on what to do.. Where i can download the wizardsetup.apk or another app that would be comparable

Let this be a lesson, you should not delete system files that you are not sure what they are for. Either add a .bak to the file name or save it to your computer first. Anyways pm me your email address and I will help you out.

Thank you..........

Bing Search is gone, how do we get Google Search?

Pretty obvious what I need help with. Anyone know how to install google search?

Download it from the market

I think he means how to use the search key and root it to google which can't be done at the moment

google search keeps force closing
this is odd...
after uninstalling bing and installing google search from market it was working fine for a while (1-2 days)
now whenever i type more than 2 characters into the google search box it force closes.
tried uninstalling / reinstalling and clearing the app's data- no dice.
also tried with email history enabled and with it disabled.
any ideas?

I have mine working OK, but not with the Voice Search from the market. What I found was that the Voice Search from the market did not fully integrate with maps, etc (like saying: "Navigate to" came up with some ridiculous kbbb or something else, and speaking for an instant message was hideous).
I renamed the BingSearch.apk and the Bing service apk (can't remember the exact name) in the /System/Data directory (I'm rooted). I pulled the Voice Search APK out of a 2.2 ROM (specifically from my old device - Eris) from the System/Data directory and installed that (uninstalling the market version first). It integrated fully with EVERYTHING, but as of now, like you, my physical Search button doesn't work.

My search Button doesn't work with bing either lol. Straight outta the box. Nothing.

i'm rooted too. wish my google search would work when i hit the search soft key

This isn't for Google Search but it was posted for using the search to bring up the phone. Better than not being functional at all and you may be able to figure out how to make it Google Search.

The problem with that is it changes the functionality of the Search button entirely. For some, that may work, but in certain applications, that button is still a method to search (like root explorer).

Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

Google Hangouts

As you guys may know, Google has integrated all their communication systems into the new Google Hangouts and it is started to rolling out.
Just wanted to let all root users know that you don't need to wait to get it as for some your Google Talk isn't being updated to Hangouts currently. Like if you have Talk currently and you go to the playstore and search hangouts it will say you already have it installed and you are updated to Hangouts even though you only have talk.
If you use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall Talk from your device, you can then go on to the playstore and be able to download and install the new Hangouts app.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned as I haven't seen a thread but just wanted to let people on to this little tip if you want to get it right away!
EDIT: I'm thinking now I might have probably posted this in the Themes and Apps forum, but I wasn't exactly sure if this should have been posted there as this is just a general tip. If any Mod wants to move this please do!

You don't need to uninstall Google talk... You can use the Web Google play to install hangouts and it will automatically replaces the old talk or obtain the apk file from the web and install it over the Google talk.

I agree. I really miss the who is online and who is offline thing. You can VAGUELY tell by the contacts picture being grayed out, but that sucks compared to a red dot. Hit the menu button in the hangout app and hit send feedback. Request for this feature to be put back in.

Had problem today

1.Use some app to take backup of Google Play Services (ES File Explorer can do it for you) and save the apk locally. This is recommended because after the next step you may not be able to connect and re-download the update over Mobile Data. It would work on WiFi however.
2.Go to Manage Apps > Google Play Services
3.Do "Uninstall" / "Uninstall Updates" for Google Play Services
4.Google Hangout will automatically ask you to Install or Update Google Play Services.
5. If you "Uninstalled Updates", then the app would update over Mobile Data when you click on update in Google Play. After this go to Step #8
6.If you "Uninstalled" the app completely, you wouldn't find it in Google Play. So install it from the backup created in Step #1.
7.Now go to Google Play and install any updates for Google Play Services.
8.Now open Google Hangout. It may still show you a connection issue for a couple for times.
9.Don't lose your heart. It should work after you try for a maximum of 1-2 times.

I haven't been a huge fan of hangouts either yet. I use textra. I have heard that there might be some nice things in the works for it though. I'm keeping tabs on it.
