S-Voice

Anybody interested in trying it out..

I tried yesterday for a while with no luck. I tried fixing permissions manually but always got a parsing error. I ended up giving up after a while. It may work with some effort but it was not a simple install for me.

Close this thread its only for ics phones thats why u get parsing error anything under 4.0 it wont work

I read tonight it only works on ics. There is a function it requires to install that is not part of GB stock based ROMs. Not sure if it will work on AOSP based ROMs or not.

1. You need twframeworks .. obviously cause ICS AOSP doesn't support an assistant built in.
2. Two, all of the resources are dependent on new ICS frameworks.
3. It won't work on this phone no matter what we do. We don't have TW ICS.
We''ll probably get AOSP, but for this to work, we'll ned TW.
4. Jelly Bean, Android 4.1/5.0 will have it's own integrated personal assistant probably, which will be 100% better than S-Voice.
-reasons
-better hardware at the time
-better API
-android integration(you need to open your app drawer to get to S-Voice. which sucks)

Will this run for me on ics Rom ? Can I just install or no
Sent From My Rooted 3D

no
first of all, I doubt that you are using any form of a Galaxy S(IDK why you posted here)
you are probably using an Evo 3D or an Optimus 3D, and there are "no" chances unless you have touchwiz ICS, which "ONLY" galaxy S phones can have. I doubt it can be ported to other phones like Sense UI can.

in case you didnt read, i mentioned that i used to own a galaxy s 4g. i passed it on to a friend and got a nexus s. No TouchWiz, and the app worked ok after modifying the build.prop a little.
just wanted to share here because i really liked this community. I'm grateful to all the Devs that made my old 4g run flawlessly. So i thought i would share some love.. BUT i honestly had no idea it was an ICS only app... so sorry.

too bad. samsung has fix this leak so the one and only s III is only able to use it now.

Ok well for all people knocking this It's working for my on da 3d with np right now going to post a link in a few uploading now here you go

Yay I have siri!! I mean "Galaxy" lol. It works good but not the double tab home button, oh well its still cool to have
sent from the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation

If using apex launcher you can set it open by double tapping the home screen.
Hit menu then apex settings,behavior settings, and Desktop double tap. Select launch app and select S-voice.

I thought the double tap thing might be launcher related. I'm going to test Stock launcher vs Nova and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: No luck. Maybe it has to do with the S-Voice version..?

I tried installing it after connecting it via USB mode but it says "there is a problem parsing the package." My Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been rooted btw.

What rom? I believe s-voice will only work on ics based roms.

S pen functionality with custom roms

Hello everyone,
I am considering purchasing this tablet and had a quick question that i couldn't find the answer to. If you flash this tablet with a custom rom will it loose its s-pen functionality. (Pressure sensitivity for example)
Thanks

Android 4 and greater has native support for the pen including the pressure.
Pen works properly in the preview CM10

Thanks for the response, sounds great!

Also, future versions of Android will natively support multiwindow multitasking so all apps will have that capability not just a limited few like today.

However you would lose all of the apps that are optimized for it (due to the TouchWiz removal), correct? Is that even a big deal? I seem to be reading that they're bad anyway.

[Q] any touchwiz 5 nature ux rom/launcher for skyrocket?

is there any rom or launcher for the skyrocket i727 that uses the touchwiz nature ux, with all the icons and screens almost exactly like the galaxy S3?
search only turns up the sky jelly bean rom, but that has different (nexus) app icons and is different in other features.
i saw that the salman ics rom comes close to the S3 rom... but that's available for the galaxy S2, couldn't find it for skyrocket
please suggest something, as I'm sure at least something has to be out there. doesn't matter if it's ics or jelly bean.
any help is appreciated.
thanks

Well I haven't read the OP closely enough to know if it was supposed to change those. You could try searching for a CM10 "theme chooser" TouchWiz theme. I know there's some out there.

Previous SNote?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

[Q] Problem with palm rejection

Hi guys, i am on stock ROM, not rooted, because i use the tablet for college, so basicly for work and not playing around
I gfinally got the JB update about 1.5 months ago and ever since then i got this bug that the palm rejection doesnt work at all
I use quill to write insted on paper, and everytime i lay my hand down it recognises it as a qick double tab which lets it zoom out
Anybody knowing what could have happend, what i shall do now (i want to prevent that i have to send it in, cus it takes quite a while and i need it every day), i am also ready to root it (got root experience of rooting htc desire z, htc mytouch 4g slide and a galaxy s1) but if i do this, has anyone a good stable and kinda stock-close ROM where palm rejection and just everything else works...i even wouldnt mind going back to ICS if i have to

Obviously the tablet will still detect your palm in an app like that no matter what or else the touch screen wouldn't work right..lol. Rooting/custom rom will not solve your issues. I suggest you go back to ICS if it really is better. For me, I see no difference. Good luck.

The palm is detected as 2-3 fingers, so if i lay it down it is as if i would make a fast double tab, which leads on quill to zooming out
I got this bug since the official JB update, on ICS it was just fine
So, basicly i ask if anyone else is experincing this with the official update, or maybe it is just an update failure for me
Also if no one has those problems after rooting, i may consider doing so, but i dont want to go through all the ROMs here cus of time issue :/

I don't use quill I use papyrus and it doesn't do that for me. Cyanogenmod would be the best bet if you wanted to try a custom rom. The other roms are very similar to what you have already and won't help. Rooting and flashing on this tab is easy if you say you're so experienced already. No bootloader to unlock or anything on Samsung.

Root doesnt have a whole lot to do with it. I use quill as well and dont have that problem but I'm used to laying the PEN down on the page or at least close to the screen first and then rest my palm on the screen.
The way it works is the screen detects finger/capacitive touch first and then detects the pen. If you touch the pen on the screen or close to the screen first, it will ignore any other touches.
Personally I prefer quill for jotting down quick notes or calculations, and then I use lecturenotes for real notes pages. In quill, I found the doubletap zoom and 2finger zoom unreliable regardless so I turned that off. When I want to zoom or move the page, I just click the button to zoom/move the page.
Hope that helps.

U have a really big problem, since i use my note10 for taking notes as well at school, i can understand how damn annoying it could be if it register palm.
about the rom, i would suggest u to use this:
[ROM][N8000]::::: X-Note Zero Edition Build 1 [MC5]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236328
it removes alot of useless stuf (Snote,S calendar, samsung apps etc) f. Rom is alot faster than the stock rom, nd alot smoother aswell.
U can still flash snote if u like (link in the roms thread) but papyrus nd lecturenotes do better job than Snote.
ps. for calendar+memos u can try Franklinplanner, simply awesome app, and as a launcher i recommend apex launcher ^^,
hope i helped
