Can somebody check Google maps app on their 7 plus to see if the menu works in the top left hand corner(see attached pic). It's not working for me like it does on my other tab. Just want to know if it's the same for anyone else..

Nothing happens when I tap that icon on my 7" tablet. On my phone (SGSII), that icon brings up a menu with options such as "clear map, places, layers, my places", etc
However, the same options are available on the 7+ via the menu icon on the upper RIGHT hand corner. (I think google just moved the options for the honeycomb devices)
Are those the options are you looking for?
Take care

OK thanks, yes that what I'm after. Some odd changes on Honeycomb that don't really make sense

OK so one of the features Verizon went out of their way to promote with the new ICS update was the "launch bar". Obviously I know where that is on the phone ICS interface, down there at the bottom. Where is it on the tablet? That would be awesome to be able to keep certain apps and shortcuts accessible on every homescreen. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on the tablet though! Anyone able to help?

Try out nova launcher or any other that offers dock options.

Nah I'd rather stay with the stock launcher. Thanks though!

I think what verizon was talking about is the recent apps list where you can quick change to another app you have recently had opened. Do not confuse that with a launch bar that you may see on a windows PC. However, if that is what you would like to have then check out EOS 2.0 rom. It has this feature of putting apps down at the bottom next to the soft keys. And it uses stock launcher. In fact its what I like to call "enhanced stock experience". Great stable rom, awesome features.
I thought that too except they specifically said drag apps and shortcuts to the launch bar for easy access from any home screen, plus the multitasking button isn't new in ICS. Honeycomb had it too.
Honestly I think it was a marketing faux pas on their side because as far as I can see, the launch bar exists phone only.

Not much of an officianado when it comes to Android.Never owned a phone or tablet with virtual buttons rather than physical ones.
Have installed Apex launcher on my 10.1
Where do I find the settings?
On my SGS3 I obviously just tap the menu button, which the 10.1 doesnt have
I really need an instruction book for this thing. :laugh:

Double tap on the screen if using apex, will show a list of menus you can do

There's always the settings app in your app drawer.
Settings can be found in notifications as well. Menu button will be there when you need it... certain apps trigger it

I am using CM10 and Apex on my GT2 7.0" and I noticed when I swipe up from the bottom, a half circle appears with a Google icon that I can select and it goes to a Google search. Can I add other apps to this pop-up menu? I have searched and I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for your help!
Its called Google now! It's a feature in jb! Moreover like siri in ios!!

I've noticed that if I long press the home button, a small circle appears surrounding the left corner of the screen. On the circle is a link to Google Search which is displayed as the word Google. My question is whether I can customize app links that come up on that circle and how to do that.

Is there a mod that allows that to change? I know some developers have been working on a mod to change the app choices in the quick launch menu that comes up when the S-pen is removed. Is anyone aware of a similar mod for adding new choices to the long press on home?

Nova Launcher lets you change it. (It doesn't - silly me)

Thanks for pointing it out - amended my post.
For couple weeks already I'm using great app to hide onscreen soft keys - Auto Hide Soft Keys. I wanted to fully test it - check if it will work in real usage - and I must say it works perfectly. It takes couple days to get used to, but now I'm enjoying full 4.3'' screen, and there is no way I'm going back.
This is paid application for full functionality but you can test it for free, with just small (but irritating) disadvantage - line at the bottom (you can hide it in full version).
I'm not a developer or anything, just this app is great and I wanted to share with you guys.

Ty for the app, i still prefer Lmt pie control but this is a great app

I've used LMT for some time and for me it doesn't work as good as this one. Auto hide of keys at bottom works so well on RAZR I because we've got this black thin unused bar at bottom, and it's easy to slide finger from there (and it doesn't matter what hand I'm using).
Btw I think that this black bar at bottom was originally designed to contains capacity buttons - I'd like more to have capacity buttons there, because now this bar sits at bottom and is useless and only makes Our phone bigger.
I was hoping for some time that this bar is at least touch sensitive so we could simulate touch controls there (even without showing them) but no-one came with this yet.

tried the app too. it's great.
hmm... getting error if i try to start the app .. ''YOUR DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED''... :/
I'm using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. It's almost the same but with a little more settings. I prefer it.
For anyone using ultimate nav bar, a there a manual switch to toggle the bar? I don't like having the bar disappear on me, but I don't like leaving it on all the time either.

Nope (and I 'd like that to). Maybe you could ask the developper, he seems to be reactive.
this app is incredible, now real 4.3 inchs :cyclops:

I was wrong, set the bar to not disappear after x time in the options menu, then call it and touch anywhere else to make it vanish. UDN is just perfect.
Yea I tried that, but I found ten second to be too short. What I did was install auto hide, it has a setting to swipe up and activate, and then just touch any empty space in the bar to close it. Great feature!
