Have had problems too. What I did and is working so far, is to remove gnow(quicksearchbox) apk and odex from system /app. Then went into CWM and wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted. Installed gnow from Market. Seemed to be no issues. I then reflashed Steve's themed gnow. So far so good. I think it's just touchy.

When I open SuperSU, it doesn't prompt me to update. I go into settings and it allows me to download the update, but I can't do anything with it. Won't flash. Won't install.

Updated in the Market, then it offered to update binary, etc.

If it doesnt prompt you to update your binary, then you are all good and need not be concerned about it.

Google Maps - pre 7.0?

Google's revamped (degraded?) 7.x versions of Google Maps are missing two features that I use extensively:

Add as a Contact

The Share function to share the actual street address vs. just the maps URL.

(No, you can't even select/copy your search results in a way that allows you to paste the address into a text...at least I can't! The old Share function pasted the text of search result, the street address, and the associated URL into whatever app you select for sharing. I use this extensively when sharing address information with groups consisting of both Android and iPhone users - it works for everyone.)

I'm hoping that Google will add the functionality back; in the meantime I have downgraded to the 6.14.3 apk - I really need the flashable version so that it will stick after reboots. This version is fugly...but at least has the needed functionality. I'm guessing but have not personally confirmed that those features were available in the final 6.x releases but removed in the initial 7.x.

Here is the ask: does someone still have the beautiful SS flashable versions available of the final 6.x...and maybe even the initial 7.x? I looked through the Dropbox list in post #2 and found SS' s 7.2, but nothing earlier.

My obsessive-compulsive self is getting upset about this!

Thanks in advance...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
I just tried opened maps to see what things you were describing and was able to share the location via all the normal share methods. I couldn't find a way to add to contacts though.

This is what I did to share a location via Handcent (which gave street address along with long and short url's):

After searching for the address, it shows up on the bottom of the screen with navigation ETA. When I pressed on that, it moved up with options to save or share.

Don't know if that is enough for you to stay on current version. I might have the old themed one, but would have to know the date of when it was the current one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] verngator:
notmyepic, are you saying that you have the up to date version of Google Maps and your version pastes the street address into the Handcent text? Just want to confirm. If so, which version of Maps are you using?

My SS 7.2 version doesn't do that. Here's what happens:

1. Search for location. Location is found and street address is visible, plus hours and reviews of business.

2. Tap on Share

3. Select Handcent

4. Handcent opens a new text message with the name of the business, then two versions of the URL of the map.

No street address is pasted into the new text message. If I want to sent the street address I have to remember it and type it into the text message myself.

Before moving to Google Maps 7.x I could share the location in Handcent, Gmail, etc. and so Google Maps pasted the name of the business, the street address, and the URL as part of the share.

If the recipient is another Android user with Google Maps it's fine to just paste the URL - the recipient can click on the link and get the address on their phone using Google Maps. If the recipient is not a Google Maps user, the link doesn't help. I do a lot of traveling with a group and cannot force all the iPhone users to install Google Maps on their phones. It's clumsy to have to retype the address on the fly, and frustrating because this worked fine in the past.
