I recently changed the default search engine to a custom google search URL (using baseUrl) with some additional parameters and removed all the rest of the search engines, and since then, the search predictions stopped working.

I even tried to reinstall Chrome but as soon as I resync, the problem is back!
Search predictions are just gone without option to fix!!

In IE changing the search provider allows specifying a prediction (suggestion) provider, In chrome, once you change the default search engine, you'll never be able to have predictions again!!
This is a terrible bug, I mean WTF!!!

Is there any workaround to that?

I posted a bug report a while ago but it seems no one looks at it. I'm about to give up on Chrome and go back to IE, the only good thing about Chrome is the Extension market and the AdBlocker (which I can find in IE as well). The perfrormance changes don't matter to me too much.

Thanks


Question: Daydream with transparent background
Answer: Luckily you can access the window of the DreamService. So what you can do in your DreamService class is the following:

 @Override
    public void onAttachedToWindow() {
        super.onAttachedToWindow();
        setInteractive(true);
        setContentView(R.layout.dream_service);
        getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#00FFFFFF")));
    }


Make sure your layout of the DreamService has a transparent background ;-)
