I have started the rooting of my NC using the auto-nooter-2.12.25.img. I appear to be rooted (mostly). I got youtube but gmail did not sync. I opened up Market and accepted Terms and Service. I have softkeys but tapping any of the soft keys just shows a message "Unable to execute as root". In the Market, the search magnifying glass is grayed out. I have selected an app to DL & it says "starting to download" but doesn't seem to be doing anything. I do have wi-fi on and am connected to the internet. Have no clue what to do from here except somehow I need softkeys to do something other than give that message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: On rebooting, softkeys now has been allowed superuser permissions & seems to work. Now I can use it to search the Market. But where are the apps I DLed and how do I get to them? They are not showing in "Extras".
Edit-2: I think I've got it. Now have ADW Launcher working. Just a learning curve.

It has been awhile since I rooted. I cant remember if the auto-nooter package came with the old or new market(I think it was the old). Seems like I had issues at first and upgraded to the new. May try to clear the market cache first. Here is a thread on the new market.

You need to reboot before it shows up in extras. Or install a different launcher and it shows up instantly.
Can you use Google Talk? If the app is stuck at downloading, most likely you can't connect with Google Talk. Open up ports 5222 and 443 on your firewall and see if it works.

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.

After successfully rooting my GT-i8190 via vroot, I changed the Chinese version of Superuser to Supersu with no problems. However, I noticed another Chinese app on my phone that I cannot get rid off. It appears to be a Chinese version of Google Play... I keep getting notifications on my phone telling me to update my apps and when I click on them, it takes me to the familiar 'installed apps' section of the Play Store - all in Chinese.
I've tried deleting the app itself from my apps menu by dragging it to the 'remove' trash bin but nothing happens... It stays in my apps. I also tried going into the normal Google Play Store and finding it under 'My Apps' there, but it doesn't appear.
Does anyone know anything about this app? I haven't found any info on it while searching the forums, just the Chinese Superuser app. Should I freeze the app?
Here are a couple screenshots of what I'm encountering:
Update: I should have tried this before, but it slipped my mind. I believe I have solved the issue. I went into application manager and forced the app to stop and waited to see if there were any issues. There were none. I uninstalled it from there and all seems to be well.
Hi,
Is there anyone who had trouble using TTS? I'm currently using CN version and I uninstalled its default TTS engine and replaced it with Google TTS. At first it worked but after restarting the phone it's not working anymore. TTS option in settings is now also inaccessible. Keeps coming back in Accessibility menu. Please help.
I installed Google Maps Beta app before. Then today, I wanted the original app back so I opened the play store. I searched forGoogle Maps, tapped on "uninstall" and then it uninstalled after some time. When I tried to install it from play store, it then showed an error message saying: "You cannot install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device." But I've already uninstalled the first app, cleared app preferences and deleted all folders relating to Google Maps. Maybe the app didn't uninstall completely? Please help me, I don't wanna have to reset my phone to have to use Google Maps again.
