[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
As the title specifies I'm really annoyed that Google gave iOS a better search than us on ICS. They basically gave them the search of JellyBean (minus the Google Now). What the hell?!

Check out the blog and embedded video (on that page):

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Koragg618:
You answered yourself right there. We have Google Now, they don't. Why would they make the exactly same search app for Android when Jellybean has it. I also understand that its not there for Android, but what happened to downloading that flashable package that you can just flash to get GNow? iOS doesn't have that now do they...

Just my opinion :)

Google doesn't make very much money from Android itself; it's mostly for revenue from the Play Store and the data/advertising that they pull from mobile users.

Google needs excellence in a bottle to get iPhone users to use their apps over Apple Maps and Siri search (which is why the iOS Google Maps looks better than Android).

Give them time; if you haven't noticed they're revamping everything. Gmail, Offers, Currents, Play Store, Google Music; they're finetuning everything. Don't get butthurt so quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Second this! People take everything so personally. Google makes a lot of money off of people using their products on iOS devices. They'd be stupid to provide a less-than-exemplary experience, even in a competing ecosystem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bearclaw7380:
Google now is still better than the search on the iPhone. But I must say that chrome is a lot better on the iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
It's not; because Apple doesn't allow Apps to really do their own thing on the phone - Google Chrome for iPhone is essentially Safari with a Skin over it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
I'm a little confused by this rant. Google now is extremely powerful if you know what you are doing and its only getting better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Google Now is jellybean only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Ah OK I see the ICS now, but still I don't get the point of this rant or why its here. It has nothing to do with the skyrocket and honestly I don't get what the op wants. Root the phone run any number of jb ROMs including a leak firmware. This thread really provides nothing to the community.

Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture, its as good as swipe.

http://m.pocketnow.com/2012/10/30/android-4-2-stock-keyboard-now-available-for-download-unofficially

After installing go to languages and input and check Android Key board

Hope it will be useful.

Download and Install

Now, getting it on your device is going to be easy for some of you, and less easy for others. You'll need to be on Android 4.0+, to start.

If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google.

Get the apk here: http://d-h.st/XuS

If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:

Get the zip here: http://d-h.st/36D

Very nice, i use swype normal as standard keyboard, but this feature with the word over the things you wrote is better than swipe ever! And now the keyboard is faster and fits better the look of jb.

Edit: i test the gallery,looking nice but not all work on latest CM10 the camera not change the orientation automatic,u had to turn on the rotation. U can not edit the picture if u click on the button that is shown after u take a photo and swipe right.

maybe we can get photosphere fully working if somebody could edit the module so the app can use compass+orientation sensor+accelerometer instead of gyroscope, right?
[Defy Themes and Apps] fideliofidelio:
I'm a noob in all this, but if we can use street view flawlessly in our defys (Google maps panoramas rotating the phone in all directions) can we have some hope with photo sphere issue?
[Defy Themes and Apps] navinshark:
Gyroscope

I think Gyroscope is advanced version of Motion control, of course our Defy doesn't have Gyroscope but have Motion sensor and compass sensor as well, so there will be a possibility of photo sphere might work if someone edit the lib.

I have now tried quite a few times, using different apks and zips, all of them give me a working keyboard except that I cannot get the gesture typing to work.

Have uninstalled the original keyboard using root app delete.

To new it seems that no matter what I try I end up with a new keyboard looking and working just as the old one, but with some more settings options... but no new features...

I have seen a few more reporting that gesture typing its not working... how did you solve it?

R = read, W= write, X= execute

So giving a permission to file basically involves 3 permissions, system, user and others.

So here it goes

Sys--> rw-(110)

Usr--> r-- (100)

Oth--> r--(100)

So if you know

BinaryBecomes

000-0

001-1

010-2

011-3

BinaryBecomes

100-4

101-5

110-6

111-7

Then our perm translates to

chmod 644 gallery2

Its obvious that we apply perms after flashing zip.

Ok i told you about perms but its simpler to apply via es file explorer
