I know you guys are working on it, but I was just wondering if anyone has been able to replace the Search button with Google search after the ZV8 update. I've tried the renaming the apk files in /system/app, but that doesn't seem to work at a ll...
Also, after attempting the rename trick, I uninstalled Google Search. Now the market thinks I have it installed, but it's not on the phone... I can't get it back, either. I was thinking that perhaps if I had the .apk, it may work. Anyone know how I can get the Google search .apk since the market won't let me download it?
DeBing will require a custom ROM, which I'm sure MT is working on...

If the market thinks it's installed, there should be an uninstall icon in the market, can you click uninstall and then install it again?
Or go to the market on a computer and click install from there, it should send it to your phone.

Alas no
To remove Bing (and other Crap-ware installed by Verizon) you will need to have root access (The un-installer is unable to un-install items in the System directory)
Hope this helps

Sorry I wasn't very clear... Accessing the market from a computer shows that Google Search is installed. There are no traces of it on the phone either in the Play store app or in the applications list.

I have root on mine... I just don't know how to replace the Bing Search with Google Search. I'm a little worried uninstalling Bing will break the search altogether...

Just go to the Market and download Google Search. The only thing is the search softkey button and searching from the browser address bar will still be Bing. For me, when I hit the search softkey nothing happens at all right now because I deleted Bing from System/Apps, lol
I did that and unfortunately and tried renaming the google quick search to BingSearch.apk in the /system/app as suggested for V7 in a lot of online posts. When that didn't work, I uninstalled it from my phone, but now the online Play store thinks it's still installed and I get: "Error: Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes" when I try to reinstall."
Interesting. I have a rooted V8. I used "SystemApp Remover" (from the market) to remove Bing and the Bing widget. When I hit the search button, Google Search comes up.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but prior to Verizon pushing out V8, I was running GingerVolt 1.3 and followed the process to get a rooted V8 (load the stock V7, root, prep, OTA update to V8, root maintained). Perhaps something in GV1.3 wasn't blown away by V7-V8. After all, it seems to have left all my data and account information intact.
Well, I completely wiped all the data, reinstalled V7 from the .tot, rooted, upgraded and rooted and was able to get Google Search installed... I'm trying to go from there. Thanks!
Yeah, must have been a holdover... Removing bing caused my search bar to force close the LG home.
I know that Google has blocked side loaded apps from working with android auto, but for one reason or another I choose to use a side loaded version of an app rather than the play store version. I know the play store vests with android auto, as I have tried it.
Is there any way to get the side loaded app wot work with android auto?

I think that as long as the app is compatible with Android auto, it doesn't matter if it's sideloaded or downloaded from the play store.

If we are talking about Android Auto enabled messaging or music apps, such apps have to be approved by Google before being allowed on Google Play. (I presume Play automatically blocks uploaded apps that contain permissions to be an AA app.)
But if you develop your own AA compatible app and need to test it before Google ever looks at it, there is a procedure to do that and I think it goes through Play as a special beta.
So, yeah, maybe sideloaded AA apps don't work; I don't know, I never tried. But I'd hope the OP is asking because he tested it and it didn't work.
OP: Is it a paid app ? Which app ?

Right. I'm basically saying that it has to be on the play store to use. That's what I meant by "compatible", it's already Google approved.

Anyone have any new insight into this? it's frustrating. i downloaded latest play services from apk mirror, and it threw my AA for a loop. same thing with maps. How does AA know if the app is from the play store? I tried using TiBu to associate the app with the play store, but it didn't work. There needs to be an xposed module or something for this. It's like I have to be careful what I can install now. And when I say it threw me for a loop, I don't mean i just had to uninstall the sideloaded app and reinstall from the market (well that worked with maps, but not play services). That was a pain, and it kept force closing even after re-updating from play store. I had to uninstall everything and re-download everything from play store.
I have a sideloaded Spotify(patched for playing actual song rather than radio just like in tablets) in my phone , but in android auto, it doesn't show up as music app. When I delete it and install Spotify from play store, I can see it. Any workaround for this?

You may be able to install the patched version over the Play version.
Install from the phone, or if that doesn't work try this from the command line of a USB connected computer that has the Google ADB utilities installed:
adb install -r -d Spotify.apk

Sideloaded apps will not work, only apps installed by the Playstore. HOWEVER! You can still use xposed modules that work on Playstore apps. I have an older version of Spotify and Pandora installed by the Playstore that I haven't updated, and I use xposed modules with them and it works great. Pandora + Pandora patcher and Spotify + SpotifySkip work great on my Honda Civic 2016 AA unit. I get no ads, unlimited skips, and even "thumb up" downloads.
I think this discussion fits pretty good into this thread.... (is there a need for a xposed AA module)

I've been jumping between keeping Xposed tweaks up-to-date and making sure my Play Store-installed apps never updated... Until now.
Verified working. Thank you.

You saved me man, just installed AA in my car yesterday but my spotify version that works with spotify skip had to be side loaded on my phone so it wouldn't show in the music apps list in AA. This got it to work perfectly and I can still use all the same features I was using before.

Yup that's what I did and no go. What a bummer. I wish there was an xposed module that could do this.
Anyway to send the apk with the vendor install code already in it? Or it has to be done through adb while connected to the USB to the phone. New to this.

Worked for me! So happy to have the big buttons on android auto.
I'd imagine that this will be the necessary method of installing for any updated versions of spotify not sought through the play store.
Is it possible with this method to install perhaps some app that is not for android auto? Eg some navigation program?

I am highly interested in the answer to this question too!
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
as the title says i have been having problems getting the youtube app to stop updating , i followed the instructions in the vanced post , i did the method 2 of the magisk installation (where you download the latest version from the page and install the module) placed the install via magisk module and the detach from playstore module on the download folder , all goes normal i even deleted all youtube data , and unistalled the app with titanium backup , and disabled the auto update tick box several times and it still ends up updating youtube and removing the vanced version :/

I guess you should ask for help in the dedicated threads for Youtube Vanced instead of creating a new thread for this.

Same in Oreo. Never had problem with Nougat.
I installed it just like the OP, it would detach but play store would attach youtube back on the update list by itself every night. When the phone is restarted the detach module in magisk will detach it again, but the next morning, play store would put it back on the list.
use service disabler

Disabling the auto-update from Play Store works fine for me. I've been using Vanced for months and no such issues.

I've been trying to figure out this issue for a while.
Basically issue for me is on Google Pixel XL and now Pixel 3 XL and my friends Moto x4, all on both Android Oreo and Pie... Using Magisk repo install and uninstalling stock YouTube, and then adding enable_detach empty file in cache folder in root along with turning off "Enable auto update" in Google play store for YouTube . Usually this works for a few weeks but every now and then it ignores it and updates itself and turns on auto update without user explicitly allowing it. (Says YouTube was just updated).
I can easily fix it by uninstalling updates again but my friend doesn't know how to do this easily. I also tried to remove YouTube forcefully with titanium backup from system app and detaching months ago but that caused a lot more problems. Currently it gives option to attach to market forced despite it still showing up in market saying update (and auto update off for it)
I wanted to understand the plz and settings.sh options if using specifically Magisk method 1 (Magisk repo). Or are those only if using the other methods under magisk and/or root only option (no Magisk)?
Use the Sudohide xposed module.
This Module will prevent apps from detecting other installed apps on your device. Settings are done on per app basis.
Steps to hide VancedYT (A) from Play Store (B):
1. Select app A in the main list a new list view will be launched
2. Tick the checkbox next to app B in the newly opened list view
3. Press apply to save and back to exist
4. Restart luncher or reboot the phone.
Slow down.
Detach using titanium backup WORKS
For me I could only press "attach to playstore"
So I did. After I got button detach.
It worked and removed it
So I flashed my G7 Plus with the latest Lineage, 17.1 I think with no GAPPS. Great ! The only thing I don't have is speech to text so to get this I have to install the Google App. Tried a few of the latest version which I downloaded from apkpure.com becaue not a fan of the playstore. I keep getting an error saying "Google keeps stopping". and it does ! I've cleared caches and all that, but it just seems I'm probably missing some other required package or that it wants some permissions I haven't granted but I have granted all the network perms temporarily as well as mic and storage access. Still get the error. Has anyone else come acrsoss this and know how to solve it ? Or maybe you have to log in to a google account at least once before it will work ?
I'm no expert but could it be that you need google play services to run an app like that?
If that's the case, I guess I'll do without voice to txt. The whole idea here is to keep google spying off my phone.
Use a rom that has google installed and do a back up of the google apps u want to bring to los17 with an app called migrate.... After u install the los17 flash the migrate back up...it will delete the GSF file from the google apps so they can run without google play services

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need the Google play services. And if you want it to work, flash gapps
