i meant mine old market, automatically updated to this earlier today
I didn't realize that, I figured they were rolling this out slowly. At the time I posted this I was using the new FC05 leak and my market hadn't updated.

But this is for people who...
don't know how to open Market or something I think. Seriously, that's all that's required. Though, I can see the use in having an apk around (UI modification and whatnot)
Edit: Ninja'd
Here is another link for it as well. Was actually uploading this as I hit refresh and say this post was already made lol.

I tried clearing the market data, but that didn't do anything... How do you clear the Google services framework? (please excuse me if this is a dumb question)
Play Store sounds stupid, I prefer Android Market. Not all change is good.

At first it didn't work for me either, I cleared the data twice and then went through Google music and hit the button to go to the market and it let me update

The name? Eh. Stupid.
The new icon? I like it.
But, most importantly, with the new market there is a small buy very nice section of apps for $.49.
Like Dead Space. Or Osmos. SwiftKeyX.
Hit it up.

Have to say I'm not real crazy about the icon either but I'm sorta partial to andru the android lol

It depends really on what you need from a voice assistant, as Google Now is more of a search/information tool than a full fledged assistant. If all you need is asking about the weather, how to get to locations, good restaurants, random trivia, etc. Google Now is probably the best. If what you need is searching up contacts, sending SMS messages, changing settings on your phone, S Voice is a good option, although there are others.
Did you really ask(sighs) Google now sir

For searching it is good, but I'm looking for an app that can send/read texts, open facebook, things like that. Vlingo seems to work well, though the first time I downloaded the app, it kept freezing when I tried to go into car mode
Try "Assistant" It's in the Play store, free and an customizable Avatar that adds to it.

sadly, many family members i know will love this.
I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

Thanks Skripka, that's good to know. I just got my Note 2 and am relatively new to Android in general. When you say frozen, does that mean disabled?

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.
*I don't for for sure what services this new Faceplant app uses...I'm just guessing. Not on the Faceplant, and not going to join just to find out.
It looks stupid. Why would I want facebook all over my phone? Not really interested in what bob ate, or where janes shopping, or what sally saw on the side of the road yesterday.....

My thoughts exactly lol
I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.
Anyone find it in the market yet? The facebook app had an update but when I go to settings and enable facebook home it takes me to Google play and says item not found.

It's in the market but when I try to install it says "not supported in your region". Nek Minnit try the APK that woks on my GSIII, go to install on my Note II "unsupported device" aaarrggghh.
Anyone else get it to run on their N7105?
I Don't use my maps at all and i turned off all the setting as you can see and i dont have GPS on. so can anyone maybe take a guess why its take so much battery and its never under active apps. and i posted the setting in the pics any suggestions? I try to turn off my data when im not using it?

Am having the same issue with my S4. Didn't open the Google Maps app all day and yet it uses close to 40% of the battery.
The S4 battery life sucks! This is with pretty much No use at work today had On the Job Training so couldn't use my phone much... Already having T-mobile senting me another s4 if it doesn't get better switching to the HTC One

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.
Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

what is that a app?
Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.
I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

I just did that, but do I need to update to the latest maps though? I'm guessing No, cuz the latest update has people complaining about the battery drain.

Anyone download the new maps? I just received the update via the play store last night ... downloaded it and it's slow as heck! Runs much slower (fps-wise) than the previous maps. Also several features are hidden / removed...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Added APK

Map Caching still there
Map Caching is still there... but its an easter egg right now...
Search for "Okay Maps" and it'll copy it to the clipboard, aka the cache.

The first link below is for the Article about the Update for Google Maps. It also contains a link to the apk. The second link is for more information explaining about the features that are missing.
Google Maps v7.0.0
New Google Maps Offline Maps Still available
so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.
