Are you referring to a jellybean release from HTC themselves? I would say the answer to that is slim to none. Even if HTC did release jellybean themselves for this device, I'm sure they'll decide not to include everything we need to make things harder for us to develop.

If you're talking about a jellybean release from our wonderful devs on this forum then like Hasoon said, don't ask ETAs for ROMs. The ROMs will come when they come. It just takes some time to develop because HTC decided not to include everything we need to have things working properly.

I was talking more about when theyre gonna opensource the drivers we need, i heard that it happens eventually for their phones???
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
Link?
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
Honestly I don't think that HTC will ever opensource the drivers we need. If you look around at other devices, you'll notice the same pattern is happening with other devices such as the Evo3D. They were having the same issues with kernels as we were earlier. Which makes me think that HTC must really not care anymore.

I'm curious about this as well. I say link or it's real.

Thank you for your help.

No one can give you a difinitive answer on which is the "Best" for you.

Hey guys this Picture is for those of you who have not seen the Post on Engadget.com. Here is the Link for Samsung Galaxy NOTE 2

I think it looks Awesome without the buttons and the reason they increased the screen size from 5.3" to 5.5" is because of the button are gonna be on the screen like Galaxy Nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ctraywick1:
I wish this thing would be released with a tegra chip. That would be awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OutCastedSheep:
Isn't this the same "Rumored" image from way back before the GS3 launch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eun-Hjzjined:
Yep.

Is it too much to ask for a notification led this time 'round? what's with the hate on the notification led anyway?

As for tegra, samsung isn't going that route as long as they have the exynos chips and mali gpus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
Fake picture buddy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ctraywick1:
I know. Just wishful thinking lol :rolleyes: I do agree it needs a notification led though, kinda made me want to return it at first since every other Android I've owned had one. I thought it was standard issue, I mean how else am I supposed to know my phone is charging or I have a message (other than obviously picking up my phone) <troll deterrent lol :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
For the people wishing fpr bazel less phone...how the hell people are gonna hold it? Let alone put a case. The S3...bazel was reduced by stretching the screen which is a smart move. Let's hope the Note 2 gets a little slimmed and stretch the screen to 5.5.

This is simply a tutorial on how to replace Samsung's crappy s-voice with the amazing Google Now voice search!

In order to follow this guide you must be rooted, if you are not and wish to do so, follow the guide here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 If you are already rooted, then continue with the guide!

Step 1: Installing Google Now:

1.)Download the Google now flashable zip here (download the one entitled mikey7 online/offline voice) XDA Google Now Download Thread

2.)Make sure they are on your internal SD card and reboot into recovery

3.)choose install zip file and navigate to wherever the file is (if you are unsure then there is a good chance that it is filed under downloads/mikey7_offline.zip)

4.)once you are done with this, turn your device back on and verify that the app "Google" is in your app drawer

5.)If so then continue with the tutorial, if not then retry and if that does not resolve the issue then post questions in this forum.

Step 2: Activating Google Now

1.)Make sure you have Google latitude installed and have set up your account for latitude before continuing just to be safe.

2.)Launch the Google Now app and go through the setup until you click the "Yes, I'm in." option and your cards appear

3.)Continue to the next and final step or, if you are happy with not being able to launch Now via double tapping the home button, stop here and have a nice day!

Step 3: Replacing S-Voice

1.)Go into S-voice settings and uncheck the option "Launch S-Voice"

2.)Download a free app from the market called "home2 shortcut" (or link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut ..)

3.)Set the double tap home option (Home> Home) to launch "Voice Search" from installed applications. (make sure it displays a blue microphone when you do this)

4.)Continue with the instructions for the app and close the app.

5.)Test it out, if it doesn't launch directly into the voice search after doing the double home then follow the next few steps, if it does then skip to step 8.

6.)Open the Google Now app (it will be listed as "Google" in your app drawer)

7.)Press menu>refresh.

8.)Reboot

9.)Enjoy having Google Now on your Ice cream sandwich Samsung Galaxy S3!

Thanks for this...is there a way to set this up so that a single press while in my launcher (Nova Launcher) returns to the default screen? Single presses in the launcher do not currently do anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
You maybe can go into gestures settings in nova and set up the double tap for voice search in nova. However, you may have to triple press. This was actually my work around for a small time. You may have to buy the premium nova in order to use gestures though. Hope this works!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] engaz:
the manual search is working perfectlly on my tab 10.1 running 4.0.4.

but the voice function is not. the message of "shell has been granted in su perm" kept appering for tens of times. then the app get forced to close.

thanks for the great effort...

It will be labeled as "Google" if it isn't then try reflashing the package

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Seriously dude? Facepalm.....

What version of Android do you think Google Now comes from? If you don't even know your own phone and what you do and don't already have on it, then you really don't ever need to flash anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyS3III94:
i forgot to mention i want to remove S voice

i already know Google now is Jelly bean feature
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cajunflavoredbob:
It should work just the same. The file structure isn't much different in JB vs ICS. I doubt Samsung made any huge differences in the layout of the ROM, so you should be good. Be sure to make a backup before you begin, and let us know if it works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
I read through the first 8 pages and did not see this come up, but is there a way to use both of them instead of disabling s voice? i would like to try gnow but do not want to remove s voice yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
Just don't download the home2 shortcut app and skip any steps that mention disabling s voice. You will still be able to use s voice via double tap but to use Google now you will have to press the microphone on the Google search widget
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
cool, thank you

With Jelly Bean, rooting not required

With my updated Sprint Galaxy S3 I was able to do with just steps 2 and 3 and it is working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Of course because the update is Jelly Bean and Google now is actually native on JB hence why the title of this post says ICS which stands for ice cream sandwich.

Google Now on ICS was a ported version from Jelly Bean. So once you get JB on your phone in the update there is no need to flash any Now zip files.

One question:

wouldn't it be possible to launch googlenow on jellybean without "home2shortcut"?

when i deactiveate s-voice in settings -> apps and then doublecklick the home butten it starts the voice search...but somehow not the google now search....

Can there be a trick do realise it ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dB Zac:
in Jellybean you should be able to tap and hold the menu button to access Google now. IF you are on ICS you may have to use Home2shortcut depending on the rom

anyone know how i can get this double tap home button method working with home2shortcut on s3 lockscreen?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
You can't as far as I know. The only reason that s voice was able to do this with the wake up command is because the lock screen was optimized for the app. The only thing I can think of is going into the settings and changing the lock screen shortcuts to include the app voice search.

Does this still work on SGI-I747 after updating to JB 4.1.1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
Doesn't seem to be working for me after JB update (ATT). Might be user error though, I am going to re-download home button app and try again, although in JB I would'nt think we would need it.

EDIT - yep, a reinstall of the app cleared things up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Works fine in JB. You just don't need to download any Google now files to install since it is already on JB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
lol y'all made this pretty complicated just to switch the two. Just download "Root-App Uninstaller" from Google play and click S-Voice, disable, click recycle, click s-voice, click uninstall, press okay, done. Permanently uninstalled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
That's all well and good if you want to get rid of s-voice completely, but some people do not want to do that, and if you did Titanium Backup would be easier to use that the app you mentioned.

Also removing s-voice completely makes you lose voice recognition to reject calls, turn off alarms, take a picture through voice commands etc... in JB.

I have the same issue. I've had it working fine in the past but on this custom rom for my n7000 (240dpi 2.3 Aroma) it opens Voice Search no matter how many times I press home. Home2 is set as default launcher. Sucks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Kurgan:
I can't seem to get the home2 shortcut working right. I followed the instructions exact but after I reboot and find it still not working, I go back into home2 and see that it doesn't save the home< home as Voice Search, but as Google. Amd everytime i go to change it back, it still changes it right back to google. Not sure if that matters as it doesn't launch anything on a double tap.

I'll keep trying, but I at least wanted to post my problem jncase anyone else is/has seen this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
in the app list make sure that you select voice search in the application list instead of google, that may be your problem! are you sure you made home2 shortcut your default launcher? that sounds like another possible reason.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Kurgan:
That was it, I completely glazed over the setting home2shortcut as home screen. Stupid mistake.

Thanks! It workie now.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
I am on stock rom, rooted. No matter how many times I flash the package I only get the Voice Search icon and no Google app.

If I hold the menu button on the home screen I can use google now, but I dont have the actual app of "Google" installed. Just "Voice Search"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
I have never had this problem.. check in your system/app folder for a file named "Googlequicksearchbox.apk" if that is there then delete it then re flash
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
That apk is not in my system/app area. strange:confused:

What is the benefit of having the "Google" app installed? do I need it to fully use google now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] plmiller0905:
I'm using it as well and mine is doing the same thing. However I didn't know that Google Now opens apps.

My Google Now cards and everything works fine with menu button using Nova Launcher. I didn't even uninstall or deactivate S-Voice. Plus if I double tap the home button, I get Google Voice Dial.

But if Google Now opens apps as well that would be awesome

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zingzongzang:
Just a question.. Do some of the cards for Google now not work in this version? I've tried asking some questions that are supposed to work but they just end up as a regular Google search. Is it because we're on ICS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meaintsmart:
I have a question, Is there a way to make Apex Launcher do this with a double tap home button? OR make it so that if I use home2 shortcut to have a normal home button click to go to my main/default home screen? Because when I do it, it does nothing if I use the home2 shortcut method.

I just want it as if I didn't have a launcher installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:
Read the directions when you run home2. You set your regular default launcher as one of the steps.

I never ran into a problem myself but then again I didn't use it very frequently! Just asked it basic things
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meaintsmart:
I did. When I click home it doesn't go to my default/home screen.

I'm not saying double clicking home doesn't go to Google Now, I'm saying single clicking home button with Apex launcher doesn't go to my main screen - I tried to play with the settings in Apex launcher and it can have it so a single click on the home screen brings up Google Now, but I want Google Now as a double click and not a single. I was wondering if there was a way to fix it so it does.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
I've been hesitant to install, no one is talking about battery life or data usage. But I installed today, and I'm so pleased it's SO MUCH better than S-Voice. Though it's still got a way to go on the answers (I asked when was the next flight to ___ and it gave me a websites rather than listing the flights at nearby airports.)

Does the say 'google' thing work? I always seem to have to press the icon.

rooted stock d2ATT firmware
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
It does compose sms messages. Just say "send text to ______, your mom is hot" and it will open sms, compose the message. All you have to do is hit send.

You have to have "use hot word detection" enabled in settings for opening voice search with "Google". Then you have to be on the main Google Now screen to use it. If you've used it to get to a search, you have to hit back to get to the main screen to use it again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rpavich:
Now I'm a bit confused....what is the difference between "Google voice search" and "Google now"?

voice search seems to be good for searching the web....Google now does the same thing but shows cards and won't close and gets hung up a bit.

Which one do I use??
