Hi guys,
I've got a little problem here. After updating my DHD to 2.3 I have lost the HTC search app and widget which I prefer over Google (its much more customizable). If anyone has to .apk file i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I bought my desire hd the 5th of may and the same day received the gingerbread OTA update, then I saw on the htc site the description of the search feature, but if I press the search button from the home it always start google search.
It would be nice if someone knows how to restore the default htc search feature.
Unless htc decided to replace it with google search by purpose...
I preferred the HTC search anywhere app as it is much more customizable than the Google search bar. But I've been looking around for ages mate with no luck.
If you find anything give me a shout.

Ive noticed that olny after reading this... If someone coud give a solution that would be nice ..
I know that if you have updated your DHD you should be running Sense UI 2.1+, which means if anyone could get hold of the apk file it would install fine and work.
Just haven't been able to find the file anywhere.

If I start typing in the search box in 2.3, it actually finds stuff from the phone as well, e.g. contacts, music without using Google. From what I recall, it's exactly the same in the Search anywhere app, minus the Google search option.
The search anywhere app allowed us to choose and arrange your searched items as you like. I also find that Google search doesn't search my contacts for some reasons. :S

Current SearchAnywhere sources not compatible with a new Htc Sense 3.x.
This project not even supported for the moment.

Hello all. Had an iPhone then a windows phone 7 device until about a week ago. Bought an Orange san Francisco, cracking little phone. I had rooted it and was running a custom firmware. I like Android so much I bought a desire he yesterday, it rocks. The question I ask, is on the san Francisco, if I search for say "youtube downloaded" in market place I get a lot more results that if I do the same search on my desire hd. I'm using the newest market place app on both and both are on the same WiFi network. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked previously, but I can't figure out how to search in the xda app, please don't flame me for my ignorance.

Could only guess due to different versions of android. if you are sure that you are using the same Search string in Market then am puzzled too.
I have 2.2 on my desire, but used both a leaked custom 2.2 curtosey of modaco, and a standard 2.1 on the Dan Francisco. Is there an alternative web place I can get the free android apps from. Note, in not requesting free apps, just an alternative place I can search for the free apps.

The fast boot option hides some apps in market. Try unchecking that.
It is in Settings -> Applications

You can try Appbrain, and in DHD try HTC Likes - it inturn searches market but they are very usefull in app discovery.

The fast boot settings says, u need to disable this for some market apps to work. NOt sure whether will it hide anything from showing to the user...
If you have rooted your Desire HD take a look for Market Enabler on the market.
Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.
Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

Anyone else getting problem with it not showing your installed apps? Only showing 11 apps when I just counted I actually have 55 apps installed. Don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall all them just so they show up.

A restart and a bit patience sorted the problem.
Overall I like it. Would rather there was a my apps button on the front page but in not going to go on a murderous rampage because its missing.

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.
i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?
Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.

i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.
I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it
when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately
Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?
I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.
Everytime when I hit on People the process crashes and I can't do anything which using this process.
I mentioned it disappeared when I was using the phone in HD mode what probably make sense it collisions with other process or program but I don't know which 1 can interfere this situation.
Maybe someone here encounter with the same issue and found any elegant solution ?
Thanks in advance for any ideas !

This solved the problem, but know I can't use Google+ anymore. Because I needed the new version for using it with my Google Apps account.
Anyone a solution for both problems?
I unstalled the new version in the market. This solved my problem.

I already took a look to the code of the SDK Version of JellyBean. It's not just an .APK, so it's a bit difficult. But I'm shure, anybody will port it anywhen.
That qwould be a great achivement indead , and i strongly hope it will happen soon !
PLS thank me because i want to get rid of ths damn image verrification ! :good:

There is a thread which has already made some progress. Unfortunately, Jelly Bean has a newer API than ICS, so there's a lot of work to be done. To install it, you'll need root and need to remove the google search apk (it has 'quicksearchbox' in the name) in /system/app. The member that ported it disabled voice recognition because it causes force closes. Luckily, you can type stuff in and it works. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
Read through all the pages before attempting because you don't want to screw anything up.

You can use voice input Swift key or Swype. I have it on my phone and it works pretty well. Make sure you backup the apk before you overwrite it.

Hello,
Just want to share it with you guys, if you know or not but htc has also made a voice talk system like S-voice known as "HTC HIDI".
It's only available in the chinese version only right now and we might see it in the new 4.2.2 upgrade.
Here's a video of htc hidi (but in chinese):
