[Q] Google Now - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am using Omega ROM 27.2,
When I using search I don't see ant signs of Google Now,
How can I enable it?
Am I looking in the wrong place?

That's strange. When I switched to v27.. it was automatically integrated into Google search. Do you have a screenshot of your Google search function?

Google Now
Hold your Home button; it should show up directly on top of it.

Hi,

Hmmm.. seems odd. Have you tried searching obvious things like weather, directions... should show information as a card.
Is your Google account signed in etc.

Found the problem
I changed the Phone locale from hebrew back to english and suddenly I could use Google Now,
The keyboard is Samsung swipe and I think it's the best!

[Q] Back button in stock browser refreshes page

Is anyone having an issue with the stock browser where on some web pages the back button just refreshes the page and in order to actually go back a page you have to double, tripple, or even quadruple click it? This happens with both the task bar back button as well as the quick control back button.
This happened on all the roms that I have tried, currently running Task650's in Paris (loving it!) and I am not a fan of the Dolphin Browser, does anyone know of a fix?
found a fix I the developer forum!

Wicked rom help

Just wondering if the wicked rom can be changed to 4by4 icon grid rather than the 5by4 icon grid it came with.
Also it has barely any samsung apps/widgets wondering if particular apps such as readers hub and widgets such as the stock weatger widget can be reinstallled some how. These were things that i used before rooting and installing this rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, go to menu - launcher and set the desired grid size.
yes, samsung apps caan be downloaded and readded again, check the forum it usual has samsung apps on first vpage as a zip file.
You should have read the rom description before using as custom roms try to eliminate all samsung apps. you should then stay with a stock type rom which has your required apps.

Lolzz... Flash the ThemeEnabler.zip in the WickedROM 2nd Post.It will give you your old launcher.
And in the 3rd post all those apps you want are already provided in different packages(right from only samsubg apps or only hubs or all the apps)
BTW i am the dev of WickedROM Please read the thread henceforth

Thats not completely true about no settings in TWLauchers.My ROM comes with TWLauncher which lets me put 5 icons on the bottom tray and TW4Launcher which lets you change the amount of rows in the app draw.
First and second screenshot TW4 app draw settings,third screenshot TWLauncher 5 icon bar.
Has Any1 done this i dowoaded and flashed the hubs now when i try to use readers hub i have to install the book reader. However it says server will be available soon i mean what gives before custom roming it it always updated and installed instantly is this an app error or a rom error.
Thanks

But most probably, thats the TWLauncher 4.5 launcher (by Fr4gg0r) you are using i am sure.It has those settings.It is a modded launcher.The user was asking for the stock Sammy TWLauncher i guess

Not if the camera isnt modded or the ROM doesnt have a mod file you can flash via CWM to do so.
Could you elaborate cooza i just want to have the option to turn of shutter sound stock rom could. What do i need to flash.
Ps. Is the siyah kernel really good for battery life. If so what is the best way to go about flashing the kernel. Im a new user lol
Thks mare
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, siyah is good for battery life.
If you are rooted use CWM to flash the zip file after copying it to your sd card. cwm- recovery-install zip- choose zip from sdcard-yes install, wit for it to finish, reboot phone.
other wise use ODIN, flash the tar file.

If you are on stock ROM you cant turn it off.If you are on a custon ROM the dev normally modifys various apps so that you have more options or you can download a file to flash and modify each app personally as you choose.If you are on stock then nothin,if your on a custon ROM ask the Dev or on the ROMs thread if there is a Zip file or CWM file that can mod the cam to turn off the sound.
Chetan can u release a mod or something to turn off camera sound

Stock 4.1.2 firmware S2 (XWLS8)
Thanks in Advance
Sorry for taking up this old thread again, but I think that it's better than opening a new one.
Well, the issue is the next: after updating to Android 4.3 stock ROM (the Swiss one: XXUGML2), I have lost the possibility of showing birthday notifications (a cake) in weather widget. The option is not in the configuration menu any more.
Is this a general issue? Any solution?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] I9100XXLS8 BIG problem

Please help me to solve A BIG problem I have.
My Samsung SII was automatically updated to the new android version Jelly Bean (I9100XXLS8). Ever since the update when i'm in the menu section of the phone, it speaks back ("Page 1 of 4, page 2 of 4 etc). This only happens when I flick through the menu pages. It still talks back when the phone is on silent or vibrate. I have tried the accessibly section already - talk back is not switched on. I have tried switching talk back on and off to see if that works and it doesn't. I have tried looking at the google voice section with no luck. It's driving me crazy - anyone know any ways to get rid of it?
EDIT: NoLED aplication was the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling talkback?

CM 11 KitKat- some problems found and fixed + questions

Errors I resolved
- Swiping text input
- Partial root to full root (CM 11 by itself did not allow me to use Nandroid Manager because of this)
What I did fixed both
1. Installed CWM Superuser (Play Store)
2. Allowed Superuser app to update in recovery mode-- stayed in recovery
3. Advance options --> reboot to recovery
4. This prompted CWM recovery to fix root. Selected yes
5. Rebooted and these problems went away.
Not exactly sure how swipe input was fixed by this but I'm happy. Any ideas?
I must say deep sleep is very good, and a bit better than CM 10.2.
One thing i missed from CM 10.2 is the setting to turn off hardware button back lights. My
guess why its not in CM 11 is because development just started. So instead I found the app:
Night Mode which does the same thing plus dims the brightness even more.----> good battery saver
If this app can do it, i think the feature in CM 10.2 should still be able to work in CM 11.
This brings me to another question. Is there something i can tweak two permanently disable the hard-
ware button back lights?

This happened to me even before I got brut maps add on.

There's no thing yet to turn off the lights yet, just give cm some time so they can get all their things together.

Rom?
What rom did you use to install 4.4? I have been looking a long time for one.
I might suggest waiting before installing a 4.4 rom, unless you want to beta test.

This is kitkat CM 11 the most recent development for ypg1 aka galaxy player 4.4
i went back to modified stock REDD because of some the issues i had with CM 11. Don't get me wrong cm 11 has quite a bit of features REDD doesn't have but it's a bit too unstable for me.

hmm that sounds good. I'll have to check it out. I used to have CM 10.2. one thing I have experienced with with 10.2 and above is there are no Internet alerts when the screens off like Google voice. Is 10.1 the same as these?

nvm mind; I figured my problem out. Google voice was set to receive notifications through the built in phone sms app instead of the google voice app. I have seen the light and am using 10.2. Btw do you think CM 10.1 is a better as dedicated music player (or simple tasks) rom than other roms?
