[Q] DUMB QUESTION: Can't figure out how to access bookmarks in ICS stock browser?

I've tried looking thru all the settings and menus?
The stock ICS browser can't be THAT poorly designed can it?
Can anyone please help me find the button to show bookmarks?
Where is it hidden? C'mon Google, bookmarks should be a 1 touch access feature. Why did you bury it?

Hold the back button.

a ha! there it is! thanks!
I wish they would put it on the side thumb shortcut thing.

It is next to the tab button? Not sure because i enabled lab quick control.
If you enabled lab quick control, you cant access bookmark easily. One way to do it is by long press back button then swipe.
Bookmark button has been added to the lab quick control on 4.0.3.

Also if you press the tab button at the top the bookmark button is visible at the top of the tab selection screen.

[REQ] Map Search Button to App Switcher CM9/AOKP

I know I've seen other posts about this but not a new topic. ICS has very good persistent search. However, I find I NEVER use my search button. Is it possible to re-map the search button to bring up the App Switcher?
The long press on the Home Key is much less convenient and I find half the time I attempt to do it it simply returns me to my Home screen.
Someone mentioned that this mod is available to the Nexus S. Using the Galaxy Nexus I found myself constantly using the App Switcher soft key.
Would anyone else find this extremely useful? Anybody able to take this on?

i'd also find this really useful. i know i can long press the home button but i always end up going back to the launcher and reopening the app.

I asked this in bodi's thread since he seems to have taken on these little mods for us. I link to it when I find it so you can see he's looking at it

I'm actually surprised this isn't a default mod for all these ICS ROMs. Seems like it is a big feature of ICS that isn't fully utilized with our phones. Maybe it isn't a simple mod?

I use my search key, for search. If they defaulted it to this I'd seriously stop using cm9. No joke.

I don't think they should *default* to this (unless maybe if you enable persistent search), but i think it would be a nice option or a mod. For people that use the persistent search it is a bit redundant and I find I switch between apps much more frequently than performing a search. Personally, I would like the option to switch/define what a short (and long) tap on that button performs to either:
1. Normal Search
2. Voice Search
3. App Switcher
btw, I didn't think your post was a joke.

It would be great of cm9 implemented a toggle between search and tasks for people who don't search and do.

Mods for CM9 and AOKP for the Search Button to App Switcher are up.

replace s-voice with Google now voice search for the home button double click

is there a way to make Google now voice search the default app for double clicking the home button instead of s voice? I tried clearing s voice default but it didn't have any. I tried disabling it but then Google dialer stepped up and I couldn't find it in the apps menu...
I don't like s voice because it doesn't understand my accent and it can't do some things...

Use a different launcher such as Nova. You can change the home button and menu button. I have my Menu button set as Google now voice search when i long hold the button. The home button if i long hold i have it set just to do regular Google now search.
nova settings > gestures and buttons

Set that as your default launcher, then set whatever you want for single and double home presses within Home2.

I don't even bother with this. If I want GNow, I just long press the menu button and tap "G". Two taps instead of one. Whoopty doo.

Works fine for me...
You still need to turn off the option in S Voice so it's not listening for the double tap.

I assume you mean me by "the other guy" I just read my comment and I realized that I made a mistake.
Of course I meant "long press HOME" button.
My bad. Sorry.

Completely replace the voice!
I read all your comments you guys. But what I think what he means is that he wants to completely replace the actual voice in the Svoice stock app that came with the phone to the voice that Google now has. The way I have it is to do nothing when double pressing the home button. Since the 4.1.1 update dropped for all S3's, it came with Google now installed with the Google search bar widget. Well, I was wondering the same thing on how to remove the voice from S voice, and replace it with Google now's voice. Cuz I really don't like the custom voice integrated with with the s voice app. I like Google now's voice way better. And it sounds more human-like than than the "so called" Siri and S voice put together. If anybody knows how to do this, post your instructions! Cheers!

I've solved it since. I have one of two ways to do this.
1. disable svoice's double tap home to open from I'd settings, then instal home 2 shortcut from the app store. this did it for me, however I like the second one better
2. I also needed an easier way to use the buttons with the s pen like home and back so I enabled on screen keys and modified the key layout to disable menu and back hardware keys and made the home key a search key. now I have home, back, menu and recent apps buttons on screen and the home button is a regular search so when I long press it I get ASKED! What voice program I want it to handle...
hope this helps

Google Search can't open apps nor send messages. What if you're cooking and u wanna be hands free? That's why I stick with svoice. But I don't like her voice. Can u replace the VOICE instead of just button pressing?

Google Now on double press?

Apologies if this has already been posted but trying to search on the Tapatalk app is next to useless!
Is there a way to get the double press of the home button to launch Google Now rather than S Voice?
I'm rooted and on Android Revolution 4.
Thanks.

You can change a number of behaviors with Apex launcher to launch Google Now-home key action, pinch in, swipe up, swipe down, and desktop double tap. Other launchers allow you to make similar changes. I would think with all those options you could find a more convenient behavior for launching Google Now. You can also have the Google Now search bar on all the screens all the time or on any screen all the time with almost all launchers. Remapping the home button to open Google Now with a double press instead of S Voice shouldn't be too difficult of a mod since you can turn off the action in S Voice settings. With all the other options I would think you could find a solution without a mod. You can also have the Google Now cards show up in notifications.

Home2 Shortcut can do it with or without root.

Question about home button

Does anybody know if its possible to program the home so a double tap brings up messaging and a long press brings up Google now? If so how could I do that?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

If you are running stock TW then the short answer would be no. If you are using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova there are settings in the launcher behavior section where you can tweak to perform actions.

yeah, it's impossible on touchwiz,
I don't know about the customizability of the button on launchers, since i don't use them

If you hold down the menu button it'll bring up Google now. Unless you're in an app then it'll pop up the search engine. You're on your own on the messaging one tho lol. Double taping home takes you to S. Voice.
