Recently and I think following an update typing into the Google search bar is very slow/hangs. I have cleared the cache in Gboard and uninstalled updates. Also tried changing settings in google but with no success. Advice appreciated.

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.

Hey,
I have Android v4.1 (AOKP ROM for Galaxy S1). My question is in regards to Google Voice (not the new Google Now search...which is pretty cool, but slow to return results on my phone).
I can do everything that you're able to do with Voice Search (call contacts, send texts, etc) but I can't search. To be more precise, I can search and sometimes a list of interpretations comes up, but it won't actually search...all it does is load the browser (the default Android one) and either reload the page that was there or load Google...it doesn't actually DO the search.
I've cleaned the Browser data and Voice Search data. It used to work and I'm not sure what or when exactly it changed.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Try getting rid of the application all together. Reinstall gapps and or another voice zip/apk. make sure all of the data and cache for that application are wiped as well.

Thanks for replying. It didn't work. I uninstalled Voice Search and Browser. Reinstalled and wiped their data. Didn't work. Uninstalled Browser, installed Chrome and tried again..worked fine! So it's a problem with the Browser. I don't like any other browser...Chrome takes forever to start loading a website and Dolphin doesn't link with my gmail bookmarks. I guess I'll just have to deal...
Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.
After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.

Woke up yesterday morning and I was unable to use any app google or gmail related. Every time I try to open the play store it instantly closes out. "Google" is no longer under the accounts tab in the settings. Can't log into any apps using google because they just crash when I try. Have tried EVERYTHING. Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates for all google related apps hoping it would help. Nothing. ( yes I tried rebooting it). I have now factory restarted/wiped my phone 3 times and every time I get to the start up wizard I get "verizon location agent has failed" then I get "google play services has failed". Even without completing the startup wizard google and the play store still don't work. Called verizon. Then google. Then Motorola. They couldn't fix anything. Don't know what to do can't use a lot of my apps and I have no contacts just numbers.

Are you on a stock system? Or did you flash a system image with Mofo?

I'm on stock. Only thing I've done was remove some bloatware with rootjunky's program he put up. That was a while ago but I put it all unbloacked the bloatware and it worked for a couple minutes then stopped when I tried to update an app.

I would restore back to stock and see if the problem persists. If it is solved then at that point re-root with Mofo. If it does not fix itself bring the device to Verizon and they will factory reset it then realize thats not the problem. At which point they will replace the device for free.
Last night I got an update to the Google app.
Right after it installed, Google would not open. Assistant will not open and the Google feed but pressing the home button will not open.
I've cleared cache in the Google app and rebooted, no joy.
I cleared data on the Google app, Google Play Services app and Google Play Store app and rebooted, no joy.
I uninstalled updates from the Google app and rebooted, No joy.
I updated Google app, rebooted, No joy.
I've sent into phone recovery and cleared cache partition a couple times along the way.
No joy.
I realize that I'm on my way to the dreaded factory reset, but what caused this?
I'm hoping for another update to the Google app for a fix, before I resort to the dreaded FR.
I was able to download and use the Google Go "light" app.
Any ideas?

You can try using ADB and a PC to uninst5 the Google apk.
Download package Info , by police developers, to get the name of the package name for Google. Prob something like com.google.search or something
Then run this command
ADB shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.app.name.here
After it's uninstalled, try reinstalling from the app store and see where that takes you
pm uninstall is not reversible unless you do a factory reset. pm disable is.

I don't understand why I see so many people who say this. It's NOT true. Do you see that part of the code that says --user 0? That means that the app is only removed from the current user.
To go a step further, this would only even apply to apps not available from the play store. You could delete the Google app off your phone completely and still get it back from the play store, whitch is exactly what should happen if they run the line I provided.
So, tl;Dr using "pm uninstall --user 0" doesn't remove an app from the phone entirely, only from the current user of the device.
I always forget to try the SAFE Mode. Google app worked on SAFE MODE, but kept working when I came out of SAFE MODE.
Anyways, the Google app works but voice is grayed out.
ETA, it turns out that Google Assistant could not be turned on, because through all of my uninstalling SMS reinstalling of the Google app, Bixby became the default assistant app.
So exactly how did going into and coming out of SAFE MODE fix this?
I think I have it figured out.
It's a Swift Installer conflict.
If the Google app updates, before there is a Swift Installer overlay update for the Google app, the Google app asks Assistant will crash.
Once they're is a overlay update for the Google app in Swift Installer, entering works without doing any 'gymnastics'.
The Swift Installer developer has been pretty good about keeping up with Google app updates. I imagine that's a tough job!
Today, I had a Google app update that I had been putting off for several days, waiting for Swift Installer update for the Google app overlay. There was no update available inside the Swift Installer app.
I updated the Google app in the Play Store.
The Google app crashed.
I opened the Swift Installer app and the overlay update for the Google app was then available.
Without the required reboot, after a Swift Installer change, the Google app and the Google Assistant worked.
Totally awesome!
