Hi all.
I hope you all remember during the gingerbread firmware era our contacts you can swipe IFT to call or swipe left to text..
Now for some strange reason my dads samsung galaxy s3 has been updated to 4.0 firmware - but somehow he still had that old contacts to swipe..
Is there anyway I too can get that & how..??
(I'm on slimkat 4.4 ROM)

I just made the switch from the S2 to the Nexus, and love the phone minus two things...
I really dislike how the nexus doesnt start to search contacts when you start to dial there name or number... any way to flash the touchwiz phone app?
And the smiley face icon that pops up in the notifications and the stock messenger app icon are a REAL dislike, any way to use the touchwiz messenger app?
Hmmm... mine will pop up a contact as soon as you type in a couple of letters. You can also hit the microphone on the home screen and just say "call Mary" and it will do it.
Like if the person's name is sarah... on touchwiz you can start to type S A R
and it will filter the contacts and display the first couple that match, and when you continue to type it will narrow down the contacts... my nexus just displays the dialer

T9 Dialer.
You might find alternative dialers in the Market.
If not...custom roms have this option.
Ok yeah I was thinking that I might have to resort to flashing a custom rom..which i was going to do anyway
Do you by chance know if using the galaxy S3 launcher brings any of these features?
I know im going to get flamed for mention this, but i do like a FEW things from touchwiz such as the phone and icon... could you recomend any of the custom roms?
would there be a way to pull the apks from a 4.0.4 build of the s2 and use those apks?

i dont think so. they use the touchwiz framework, so you would need all the framework items too.

You need more than just the apks, you need all of the other touchwiz BS. And the launcher isn't going to bring the functionality either.
There's a S3 add on pack that might suit your fancy. I recommend flashing it on top of AOKP, it was buttery smooth with no problems for me.

Thanks! Ill check it out... Honestly in regards to the messaging icon, could i just change the icon for the stock apk?
I'm a fan of the new 4.2 quick access to settings, or better yet the toggle implementation as found in Cataclysm. However in firmly in the camp of despising the new lock screen even enough to revert back to my favorite 4.1 rom. Any chance the old 4.1 could be ported to the new? Asking for purely selfish reasons to the talented developer community.

Just install "Lockscreen Policy" from Google Market and disable the new lockscreen features.

But does that give you the quick shortcut to the camera by swiping left or is the only option to swipe right and unlock the phone as I would imagine the 4.2 lock would function without any widgets? Cheers

It disables the new features. No left or right screen. Just plain unlock screen. But no right camera quick shortcut button.
So i've tried four Roms now, including 100% stock samsung firmware from poland, and this issue still has not been resolved.
They where:
Android Revolution HD 5.0
Omega 7.2
Wanamlite something or other
N7100XXDLK7 Stock Frimware
So you get a gmail message, or take a screenshot. Normally you can expand the notification in the notification drawer by swiping down with 2 fingers. Not anymore it seems. I had a look around and seems the stock android update of 4.1.2 added a feature that lets you expand notifications with one finger also. This also does not work.
Can anyone get this is work? Like I said above I've flashed four 4.1.2 roms and ALL have this issue/feature.
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE ITS SO FRICKING ANNOYING!
Cheers

Noob here... and yes i did search for this...
Sprint has recentyl replaced my wifes phone from HTC Evo to Galaxy S2 due to some hardware issues. While the phone is nice and faster then evo, one thing is missing.
HTC Sense UI has the missed call notification preview / missed message notification preview option to display missed calls / SMS/MMS on the lock screen. Since this is missing on the stock galaxy rom, apps like notify or sms popup work pretty nice.
While I can disable the stock UI to display missed messages by going to phone - settings - and unchecking notification box, i cannot find anything that will disable it for the missed calls.
Missed calls have to be cleared twice now - in apps and in stock UI.
Anyone has any ideas how to get this resolved? I`m open to rooting the phone but cant do a custom ROM at this time.
Any input would be great....
On my device ( Evo 3D ) all i have to do is go to Privacy - and uncheck the boxes...

Root the phone and read some how to guides on removing that, or possibly install a custom Rom with those features. Remember this isn't sense based, Samsung is touchwiz and nobody has been successful porting over a sense Rom

I`ll root the phone tonight.
So i`m assuming that there will be a way to change the permissions to rw somewhere in root
That will work.... i`ll look over the guides
I highly doubt that Sense will make its appearance on Galaxy 2... just saying
Stock jelly bean roms give you a notification on your lock screen.
Messages or missed calls.

Does stock jellybean have option for message / missed.call preview on lock screen ? On other hand I don't think it would matter since you can turn off notifications from within the privacy settings on the phone ans use 3d party app ...
Whenever my phone is sleeping (screen off) and I get a message or call and I'm not near the phone, when I swipe the screen to wake it, it displays a bubble icon with either a message symbol or a phone symbol, letting me know that I had a missed call or message. You then swipe the bubble and it takes you to the phone log or messages.

First off im running Wicked Sensations 5.0 with the updater installed and the purple theme. I'm also using a note 2 keyboard.
I hate auto correct with a passion but I can't get rid of it with out losing predictive text (something I love) am I missing a setting some where? At the least is there a way to add words to the approved list?
So out of all the s3s ever sold im the only one that wants this info?
Not sure about your rom but on stock 4.3 all you have to do is go to settings->language and input->tap settings icon next to Samsung keyboard->and turn on predective text and turn off auto replacement.
