Question about
SteveoSaurusRex

Is it possible to load Google Search onto Samsung Fascinate yet?

1. I heard it would be possible somewhere down the line. I'm wondering if it is possible yet without rooting it.

2. Has the Fascinate been rooted yet?

(Please Note: I'm not interested in debating the merits of Bing)

(A possible solution is Go Launcher EX's Google Search Widget, which I've yet to try)

Thanks!

uh, yeah.... Not sure, but I owned this phone and was very annoyed at Bing. Rooting was almost impossible. I spent all night trying with no avail.. For this I hate Verizon / Samsung android phones!

Google Search is a separate download from the market: https:­/­/market.android.com­/details­?id­=com.google.a...

After you download it you can either use a widget or make a shortcut to the app. It's possible once it is installed that when you hit the "Search" softkey it asks you which you want to be the default.
