Samsung Galaxy S3 "S Voice" works with HOX - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Seen it on Engadget thought I'd share in case any one was curious. Works fine for me.

What version software are you running.

Works like a charm. You can actually use it to update Facebook and Twitter which is kind of neat. One up on Siri at least.

Do I need to root to install?

Awesome nice find

I'm really liking it.. but I find the voice sounds like a really tired old person. Any way to change that?

It worked once for me. Now I just get errors that it is down. I'm one the 1.83 leaked version.

works fine for me. is there anyway to activate it besides clicking the app icon? I tried saying 'hi galaxy' but it doesn't work
Update: some features don't really work like when you need to set up an alarm or save a memo. I guess it's because we don't have exact apk for the s voice to pull up.

It works for me. But there's a long delay each time it tries to process anything.

How's so? Don't you need install it in /system/app/ ?
I think I have frozen too many things, because svoice is getting FC after few seconds after start...perhaps text to speech?

I running stock just root access on att hox. I installed just like any other app. I got only one fc from asking it to play music. Navigation worked like a charm.

Got it working, but nowhere near as smooth or accurate as Siri. Good first effort though.

root explorer?
I have es file explorer. Do I need to purchase root explorer to change permissions for the voice.apk

apk works right from an install.
It's a little quirky, but it actually functions better than I expected it to.

No, you don't. Just tap and hold on the .apk file, in the opened menu scroll down and go to properties, from there you can change permissions.
Just leave check marks checked to:
User: read, write
Group: read
Other: read

Since it is Vlingo with a different look, has anyone noticed an improvement/difference comparing the two?

Does anyone know how to get into the setting menu. I installed onto my vivid and can get into setting with the dedicated menu button but being that we have no button just curious how to access settings

Skype Video calling working on Thunderbolt

not looking that easy. I just changed the build.prop and tried to install. rebooting now to see if that helps. I might try to force feed it to the /data/app and see if that helps.
edit = didn't work with edited build prop.
Yea... I spent about an hour trying. Looks like its dependent on quite a few other files.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using XDA App
When I did an adb install it failed because of missing dependent libraries, I haven't done a logcat yet though. Maybe after work tonight.
Will this work on RoyalThunder?

doubt full, it has something to do with either a file set or a chip set that is native to the HTC Thunderbolt and approved devices. If force feeding it via ADB and changing the build.prop doesn't work then it's something native to big red.

One x.. workarounds till root

While my one x is charging, wanted to see if I can find workarounds till root is available for a few things:
Battery percent on status bar (something nice looking but lightweight)
No search button, including assigning long press to an app.
Notification toggles
Using nova, and even in a lot of other apps, missing the menu button. Any suggestions or is anyone else having this issue?
Sure would like to restore some of my app data.. Especially for the few games I have.
Any good and battery friendly lock screen replacement? Last I heard widget locker still wasn't ics compatible.
Any way to block ads on an unrooted phone lol?
Anyone get Google voice working?
Sure was spoiled having root during my entire prior android experience. I've went ahead and got this assuming we'll have root in the not so distant future. Just trying to get by till then. I have a hard time seeing myself with anything else but a htc phone but I'll switch to the s3 if nothing changes by the time its released.. Grr.. sure don't want to.
Ty so much for any help I can get.

As far as Google voice is concerned, still can't get it to take. It changed two of my forwarding numbers but won't switch my voicemail in settings, nor does my call history include my google voice mails.

As far as google voice, I set it up on the phone and it would not work correctly, so I logged in on the pc and went to settings and it gave me a code to type into the phone and it works now, but in the voicemail settings on the phone it still says my carrier but under call forwarding it has my gv number
I think I had to deactivate it then reactivate it

I previously used google voice with my inspire. Just seems that some people haven't had issues while some have. Just wondering why
was wondering about the GoogVoice issue as well. dude... i cannot freaking wait until we get this thing rooted. so many problems on the software side. it's pretty horrendous imo. there's quite a lot i'd like to tweak.

Have you tried Apex? Has the menu button and looks very similar to the Sense 4.0 launcher.

Yes, I've used Apex before. Nova (for me at least on the Inspire) just seemed to be smoother (and I had already paid for the prime version). I might give apex another shot on this phone.
There is a Google Voice thread on this forum. It worked for me. You have to log in on the computer and use a number. After that it works like a charm regardless of what the VM settings on the phone say.

YouTube and Play market link question?

Is there a way to make it that the HOX opens links to market apps or YouTube videos in those apps rather then the browser. Every time some sends me a YouTube video or link to an app it goes to the browser rather then the app.

Settings . Manage apps. Click on app that is default for handling YouTube links and click clear default.

Delete HTCLinkifyDispatcher with Titanium Backup. Then go into Manage Apps and clear the data on whatever browser you are using. Next time you click on a Play Store or YouTube link it will show the pop up asking how you want to open it.

That breaks other links, like text messaging and email.
Now that I think of it, there's actually a build.prop edit that solves this. I'll find it and post it when I get to my computer after work, unless someone else can dig it up before then.

it doesn't text wrap or run smoothly like it used to, and has massive errors at the top of the screen when using full screen mode.
it's forced into a different mode because of kitkat's forced chromium mode.. it's a real pale shade of what it was pre kitkat
It's a bit jumpy animation wise. But I'm not bothered as its a quarter of the size on ART of Chrome

Thanks for the best version of the ASOP browser I've run yet! All the other ones had problems of one sort or another, some minor, some major, including the one that comes with an installer and is available in the play store. Your freshly compiled version is working great on my N5 and my N10 (both running stock, rooted 4.2.2), and I'll check tonight to see if it also runs on my Galaxy Nexus (which is a desk clock & remote control these days, but is still running JB, not KK).
It's the fastest version I've tried, syncs bookmarks perfectly, keeps my history as it should, doesn't require me to delete/rename the "BrowserProviderProxy" files, allows me to change the default user agent (which is REALLY necessary on the N10), and just works.
:highfive:
One tiny thing you might want to "fix" if you compile it again, is the missing "Find On Page..." menu item. It's the item located between the "Share Page" menu item and the "Request desktop site" menu item. Apparently the "Find On Page..." menu item resource is actually not located in the Browser.apk, and once resided somewhere else in the System of older versions of Android. At some point (maybe when Chrome became the default Nexus browser and Google stopped including the standard Browser), this resource was removed from the System, but was never added to the ASOP Browser, and so in recent versions of Android a "random" string shows up in the menu instead of "Find On Page...". On my N5 and N10 it's "System", but I think it depends on what Android version is running. Totally cosmetic; the menu item does what it's supposed to, regardless of what it says.
bradputt: Yes, just push them to /system/app/
I did
adb devices
adb remount
adb push Browser.apk /system/etc/
adb push BookMarkSync.apk /system/etc/
the adb reboot
still no browser, so I push them to system/app with root exp and set permissions, reboot. Now the browser show up, but when I open it, it say automatic Google signin then just close. Try to reopen it...it just close.
