Google Voice Search

Has anyone tried installing "Google Voice Search"?

I couldn't get it to install on CM6: A009.

Looks like another great Google app.

I believe he is talking about the new voice search released today, I tried to install it from the market, it would download, but it had an error trying to install (using A008)

Yes. Sorry, I am referring to the new App that is available via the Market. Sorry I didn't clarify that earlier.

Attn1, any thoughts?

androidcentral method doesn't work(listed in comments):
1. Uninstall current version w/ Titanium Backup
2. Reboot
3. Install new version from the market.

I still get "installation unsuccessful" after above mentioned method.

frustrating since others with CM6 nightly have it

I've been working on this, here is what I have so far.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3

Successfully remounts the system partition as read/write

adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
rm: cannot remove '/system/app/VoiceSearch.apk': directory not empty
(however the file is now gone: adb shell ls /system/app)

adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
Failure

(At this point, Settings->Applications->Manage Applications still shows the Voice Search application as installed, not surprisingly)

adb reboot
Reboot the phone, upon booting back up, the phone is sluggish and slow. An attempt to download the application from the Market fails with the same package signature error.

Does anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?

I got this from the cm 6 thread in the aria development forum:
On phone:
Recovery
Mount system

On computer:
cd
adb shell
cd /system/apps
rm VoiceSearch.apk
rm GoogleSearchBox.apk

Reboot phone then go to market and get voice search.

I was able to get the new Voice Search and widget working, but by using the above method the hardware Search button no longer brings up anything. If you long press the button you can choose the Voice Search option, but a regular press doesn't do anything. Anyway to fix it so a regular press goes to the regular search window again?

How is this any different/better than the built-in Google Voice search?

It's the most recent official update by Google. You can read about it at http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/08/just-speak-it-introducing-voice-actions.html. It's a lot quicker with recognition and they've added a bunch of actions you can do like sending emails or finding directions.

I can't find it in the Market and both of the tags on that Google blog page that you posted come up with nothing.

Worked for me as well. Now, in my case the SearchBox was named "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk". As a side note, I also backed up these files before deleting them. This is how you do it, in case you want to:

Code:

**before starting [B]adb shell[/B], at your DOS command prompt:
cd <backup folder on your PC>\
adb pull /system/apps/VoiceSearch.apk
adb pull /system/apps/GoogleSearchBox.apk (or in my case GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)

that's it. Now you have a backup copy of the original files delivered in your CM rom, in case you want them back for (I see no) reason. I'd assume Cyanogen will fix this in no time, so this is more of a temp thing anyways.

Trying to find a remapping fix to the search button. It happens only on the Launcher (i.e. Maps, browser, etc) are not broken, just the search button on the launcher.
