Siri eat your heart out

Since Jelly Bean is only out on GN I figured this would be the appropriate place to put this:

I know this has already been discussed in other JB threads and voice actions are somewhat gimmicky but that is really cool. Impressed by the sports and local stuff.

This is only available on jelly bean? It wouldny work for paranoid android rom at all?

Just got word that Samsung and Google are working together to push out the OTA update to REMOVE this function to get around the apple dispute

Mine already isn't working like it used too
If I ask for the weather it does a Google search ... anything I ask or say it does a Google search

I'm not sure if Google Now is what they will remove. Besides, this is only a temporary workaround just to be able to sell phones again. If they can dismiss and prove Apple wrong they will put the feature back and also get about 95 million from Apple which had to put this much in bond to be able to mitigate.
Apple is so scared of competition they will try to do whatever it takes to eliminate it. Since Google Now is light years from that dumb Siri, it really shows how little resources Apple has compared to Google. After all, we all know none of Apple's engineers can think alike... they all "think different"

Probably the quick fix for now to work around the injunction. Hopefully a '#boycotapple=true' flag needing to be set to re-enable.

Lol. Nice.

They are changing the search so for example if I type pulse in the search bar I get a preview of what's available. If I have pulse installed I can launch the app right there. Its a universal search that apple is up on arms about . The OTA will just show online results and not the app installed on the device. This was what was filed in April, there are no lawsuits yet on the Google now features. But you can count on apple finding something that relates to one of their rephrased patents that already exist

The only thing I use unified search for:
1.) Google Searches
2.) Looking up artist/song name to automatically start playing (which could be done in 1-2 extra clicks anyway).

Will Google Voice search have full app launch and everything like s voice?

I saw a demo online comparing s voice to google voice search, and of coarse for 95% of the things google won no contest, but I was surprised that s voice could say update twitter and give a message and work, where google could not do this at all yet. Just wondering if they are planning on it being able to do basically everything the other can but better?

You mean Google Now? I believe it comes with every phone/tablet that has JB. If we get JB on the S3 then we will get Google Now, unless they disable it so we become stuck with garbage S Voice.

I think OP is referring to have more control with Google Now like specific app or hardware controls.

Yes this is what I meant. Again if you look online for demos one of them shows that it works well, but still does not have full control or access to all apps and such, it literally gives an error that the feature is not working yet. I can only assume since it gives that actual error that they are planning on it having this ability soon, which makes since.

That feature doesn't appear to be available on any phone just yet, it just brings up a google search.

I dunno, I tried Google now and really didn't find it all that great. I couldn't launch apps or dictate what I want done on the app. s voice has been pretty solid for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Judging from the recent i9300 international JB leak, it looks like we will have access to both S-Voice and Google Now. So for those who prefer one over the other, it looks like SGS3 users will be able to use either which is good news. I was hoping that Samsung wouldn't remove Google Now from the JB rom when it comes out and so far looks good

I kinda hope they just put the ability to control apps in Google Now, I would not want to have to swap from one to the other just to ask a question, then swap to the other to launch an app. Might as well just launch it manually if your gonna have to do that each time. S Voice is only better for this one thing, ask it anything that requires it to look on the web for the answer and its slow as hell, Google Now is the best for this now, better than siri, so add in the app control and its the king.

I hope with the official JB release coming out soon we will find out for certain if Google Now will have full app controls like s voice.

S voice six because its developed by vlingo who IMO was the worst assistant app... I have the note with paranoid android 4.1.1 and Google now is awesome..until someone ports it to your device I recommend assistant from the Google play market

Samsung keyboard auto correct broken.

So I noticed recently that the samsung keyboard auto correct no longer functions.
I noticed this on ICS and now JB.
Does anyone know why this happened? I have searched the net but no solid answers.
And please before you respond with telling me to try another keyboard like every other thread that I have found I do not care and I am in no way interested in any kbs but the samsung one.
I am trying to get a solid answer if this has affected everyone or just some. Did samsung change the kb or is this just a bug that affects all or maybe just some?
Please if you have good info post. This is driving me insane and I hope to find a resolution.

I have forever. I'm one of the people who has made serval threads. You are forced to another keyboard. Samsung will help you in no way, they claim its a 3rd party app that they don't support when it's their own ****. Once I updated to li3 the Samsung keyboard along with the swype added in, are both broken and won't auto correct. It followed through to lj7 (jb). In the end I gave up because devs don't know any software tweak to fix it, Samsung support is worthless, their only excuse is it will be fixed in the next update from some reps, and yet wasn't.
In the end I was forced to use SwiftKey 3 =/ sorry to say it but go give the free version a try. There's no frustration due to no auto correct. It has 0 lag, 200% better than the Samsung keyboard, auto corrects much better, and ya. Try it out, if you hate it then un install, if you love it, thank me and buy the full version XD. I belive the free version is a 14 day trial

Yeah the stock keyboard sucks big time so I switched to Swiftkey 3 also.

I noticed the problem about the time that I upgraded to ICS as well and still having problems on JB so at this point it is a useless keyboard.
It is such a shame that it seems no one cares. I went and looked at a note 2 at BB today and it seems those as well are not auto correcting either. I wonder if they for some reason removed the feature when they added new options to the keyboard in ICS.
I wish we could just get a straight answer from someone even if it is just telling us they do not plan to bring it back.
I wish there was source available for the keyboard as we could fix it but it that is not going to happen. And I really don't enjoy using smali lol.

Facebook home

Now iv been looking for a leaked apk of this all over. if you havent heard about it yet then jump on to your fb account and check it out. its been a part of my news feed for days. more that i read it seems this will be more of a rom than an app. witch confuses me because the way fb had worded it, it had seemed like it was going to be an app also. im no crazy facebooker like my gf but im curious to see how this changes things like the lock screen, home screens and the overlay of fb msger. does anyone have more info on this or just maybe a leaked apk they saw fall off the back of the truck and and point me where i can find it on the side of the road lol.
more infor if anyone wanted to read http://www.topapksite.com/facebook-home-rom-leaked-ahead-of-releasethe-droid-guy/
If anyone is looking for it here you go. Its not my work in anyway all I'm doing is pointing the finger in the rite way. Enjoy. Works on my phone fine

I was first thinking it was just something for the htc first. But now I'm under the impression that it's going to be a replacement launcher like apex or nova.

I thought it was announced? It's a launcher, but it's more integrated than other launchers as it also replaces the lockscreen and has that overlay. Personally, as a college student who uses facebook for communication and stalking his friends, I'd use it lol.

i read that until the official release on April 12th only employee facebook logins will work with the leaked apk.
I might mess with it to see what theyve been up to at FB, but I cant imagine wanting to use this as a regular launcher. Especially if its anything like their native app.

My understanding is just that it is a launcher that is heavily integrated with FB.
I personally will not be using it, as I cancelled my FB account a year ago. The air just smells cleaner these days...

So Facebook home was released today and after reading the requirements our phone should run it just fine. But they would rather supply it to the popular phones. Is there a sure way of getting the official release on our phone through the market? I know there's a way to change the play store to think this is a different device. How do I do that? All I can find are enablers that don't work on most phones this one included
Edit: never mind. That still doesn't work. Edited the build.prop and still no luck. Even the Facebook that supposed to have the "home" settings doesn't have it for my device. And the leak files won't allow me to log in. I'm assuming that has something to do with the device as well..

Official release

[APP] Terrain - New Launcher from Samsung

Hey guys,
Just found this and thought I'd share in case anyone wants to give it a try. Its a new Launcher from Samsung, called "Terrain", that is intended to make things quicker and easier to access. It's still in beta apparently, so it probably will have some bugs, and will likely be updated fairly often as they find and address them. I'm not able to try this myself right now, so I can't give any personal feedback on it, but figured I'd let you guys know about it anyway.
You can read more about it and get it at the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.terrainhome
I also have it uploaded to my Dev-Host account in case anyone wants the actual apk file to play with, or incorporate into a rom. You can download that here: http://d-h.st/KmA
Sammobile has a small write-up about it as well. You can read that here: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/06/17...een-launcher-app-for-all-android-4-2-devices/
Let us know what you think if you try it out!

Not bad
Tried out the whole of yesterday. Not bad in my opinion.

I tried it too. Couldn't get the Facebook news feed to work and it doesn't let you choose which phone number to use when you click on a favorite contact. Also it would only show the notification bar if you pulled down from the very top and their was no setting to change that. Other than that I liked it

Do you have and can you submit the new APK of Terrain launcher? (The realease date19.06)
I'm living in Europa and I can't install the app from Play. (Out of US can't download.)
THX in advance!

Maybe someone can install, copy and attach it here for us? I would but my device is broken.

I'll have it up in just a moment
DONE

Thanks Bro!
I try it.

Its great to know that samsung is working on a new launcher. TW home is seriously outdated and should be replaced. If google launcher wasn't included as an option in the ROM I'm using, I'd be rocking this in a heart beat. Looks awesome.

FB new feed doesnt work.. cant update the launcher as I dont live in the US

Here's the latest version, 0.374, released July 2, 2014

Get it from play store, several updates since then. GREAT launcher, fast and smooth

Thanks for this doc. Didn't notice this or know anything about this until now. Look forward to modifying it some myself and inverting it.

I checked the Google Play version number, which is 0.400, and searched based on that number. The same version number is at the link below. I've downloaded it to my Moto G and the app works, including the Facebook sign in process.

Thanks for posting the link for this launcher. It is by far my fav. It has everything you can need and it doesn't seem to slow brown the phone like others.

Samsung seems to have not done any more with this for a fairly long time now. Do they have something else out instead?
