Google Now - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

First off i lost my copy and need someone to link me as my searches are coming up empty.
Secondly when I did have it I was never able to get the swipe up feature to work. You're usually just have to swipe from bottom of screen to top of screen to open it.
I'm running liquids cm10 if that helps.

Google now is in all the JB gap packages. Just download one, open the zip and side load it to system apps, fix permissions, reboot. Or just reflash jb gapps. Side loading is easier, I feel

It should also be available in apk form in the themes and apps section ...
It might be the one from the N7000 ...but I can't see that being a problem ...g

You were right it is cooked into the rom, but what about the swipe feature?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

The swipe feature only works from the navigation bar on phones that have on screen buttons, such as the galaxy nexus, and its actually swiping up from the on screen home button. I haven't tried it, but with aokp I know you have the option to have the navigation bar, so you could be able to use the swipe up gesture on an aokp Rom
That being said, once you have Google now installed, it replaces the main search function anyways, so just pressing your search button launches it.

Also with either apex or nova you can create a swipe up gesture on the home screen and assign it to launch google.

[Q] Is there a mod where i can get the recent app menu

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

Dialer/contacts app with swipe to call functionality?

Samsung dialers used to include a function where you could slide right over a contact to call and slide left to message them. They removed this a while ago and changed to the default android behavior, so I switched to using exdialer since it retained this. Just the other day, exdialer was updated and no longer does this in the contacts (still works in the recent call list) . I've looked around a bit for another app that has this functionality, but I can't seem to find one.
Anyone know of one out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Any and every Samsung TW(touchwiz) based rom has this function. Shostock, Aberration, all TW roms. Cm9,AOSP and AOKP roms DO NOT have this feature. So you need to try a TW rom, I dual boot Shostock2 and Aberration, and both have this feature.
He's talking about alternative dialer apps if I'm not mistaken. I don't use any, so unfortunately i can't help.
exDialer in the Play store. It's free and has the swipe to call/SMS functionality you're looking for.

Nope, as the op mentioned, it was removed in the latest update (or at least doesn't work correctly on JB ). The toggle is still in the settings, and it works from the call history, but swiping left or right in contacts just changes pages.

It still works in exDialer. You have to click the button in preferences to allow swiping to dial from contacts. I've just tried it and confirmed it still works. However, I don't know how it worked before as I've never used it before today, so not sure if it's a new setting previously unavailable.
Also, I'm running Task's AOKP JB. Make sure you set a # as default, too, the first time you try it for each person.

Yep, I'm an idiot. There are actually TWO toggles to enable swipe a contact to dial. The one towards the top of the list is for the dialer only, and then there is another one lower in the list for contacts.
Thanks JankAU for pushing me to figure this out - it had been a moderate annoyance. Hope this also helps out the OP.

No worries, brother. We've got bigger issues, like keeping Task around, ya know? And to be honest, I thought you were right the first time because I was swiping from history. I had to figure it out as well, so it worked out for both of us!

Hey, hey, hey

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

[Q] All apps in multitasking window issue

I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.
