How to get Google Now working for Galaxy S3 Verizon? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Some of you have probably seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 which allows for the install of google now with an addon voice search for google now app. The Voice search app does not input text into the google now app as it is supposed to. I was wondering if anyone else tried this for their galaxy s3 (verizon) and had it successfully work with the voice search for google now app function possibly?

your topic includes a question mark. Clearly this does not belong in this section. MODS please close.

I didn't see a specific Q&A for just the Verizon GS3 and this is a very current android development topic that I could use help with instead of you wasting time with a pointless comment. It would make sense to either answer the question, or direct me to a more relevant thread to post this, or simply not read the thread.

We don't have a specific Q&A because there is too much overlap with the SGS from other carriers.

Since this isn't JUST for the verizon phone... maybe you should try the SIII main Q&A, where you will get more answers than from a specific forum with less than 20 topics...

If mod wants to move this to Q&A then thats not a big deal, it can be moved.
I have followed the directions in that post on my vzw gs3 and it does work as expected. Add the 3rd party Search App widget to your homescreen and click that when you want to search. It inputs then text to google now but then you need to press enter in order for it to execute.
If it doesnt work then try reinstalling maybe?

I didn't know if it had anything to do with the locked bootloader but I will also post there then. thanks.
side note: if any of u try the Google now method on your s3 tell me if it works for u,thanks

It worked fine for me by following the directions. Make sure you are renaming the apps properly and setting permissions.
I believe this should be posted in Themes & Apps but that's just me.

the widget and then app work perfectly, its the "voice search for Google now app" that doesn't input the text into Google now for me for some reason

i dont know why...
^ So you do not have a search function on your screen either?
I understand limiting posts in development ares but being search-less makes for a lot of duplicate posts
I have found this:

You mean thread search or general?

I have no thread search or general search. I am of course logged in but the "buttons" are not on my screen. Is it just my account? Thought this might have something to do with low post count(<10) accounts
There was a post about this in the general section - it was down for maintenance, and was for about 9 hours. It's back up now so you should be able to see it.
Is it already back up? Not yet for me. Because I understand spam posts but restricting search is kind of weird when you want newbies to search before they even try to post.
edit: Sorry, refreshing cache worked.
edit2: Oh gosh, the restrictions are terrible. -.-
No search still, ran crap cleaner, running firefox 9.0.1. Is there a specific area to clear cache that cc wont get?
Thanks!
After the last post I made the search is back on!
Crap cleaner worked.
Thanks for all the responses and help

[Q] How to search the forum?

Hi there.
I've been using the forum for a while now, but never felt the need to ask something, nor to respond (as I'm a noob).
But today I was going to ask a question in the developers forum, I receive a message saying I first have to post 10 messages.
From then on I can't perform searches any more.
Is that right or have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Caio
You did not do anything wrong really. Maybe close your browser and re open it or do a restart and see if you still can not use the search function. The ten post thing is a rulle to try and keep the devwlopment forums clean. Next time you have a question post it here in the general or the Q&A forums. If you continue to have trouble with the search function cantact q admi.istrator or moderator.

Hi,
The search function has been down all day.
I never realized how much I used it,until it disappeared.
Ok them. I guess I basically surf the forum via the search, so I'm missing it too much. But if the feature is down for everyone I'll have to try again later.
Thank you guys for the prompt answers!
Goto google and paste this in:

Close your eyes and cross your fingers the forum search suxs!
Ok. Thanks for all your replies. But as my problem with the search has been resolved, how can I delete or close the threads?
When you hit search, if nothing comes up, just hit F5. Works like a charm, every single time

[Q] In need of help w/ Google Chrome drop-down menu colors...

Hey guys,
I'm in need of help figuring out why the colors of the text in any drop down menus when using Google Chrome are so hard to read/see. I'm a long time user of Beans' ROM's, and have tried other ROM's in the past and enjoyed them but just love the effortless dependability of Beans ROM's. Anyways, it wasn't until updating to his most recent Build #22 that I had a change in color of the drop down menu's in my Mobile Google Chrome browser and have an extremely difficult time reading the selections. I've looked in every different customization menu he included in his new rom and can't find anything on how to change the colors. I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, clearing the app data and whatnot, and can't figure out why it happened to change after flashing the newest update to his rom.
Attached is an example screenshot of what I mean. Whether it be on a mobile version of a website or the desktop version of a site, the drop down menu colors are all the same. Is there anything I'm missing or a setting I can change, or does it lie within a possible app update within chrome? Any help is appreciated!
No replies at all? I know it seems kind of out of place to post this question here, and not in the thread of the ROM i'm using, but I was told I couldn't post in any threads aside from the Q&A Help threads so I was forced to post it here. I've been a member for just under a year now with a few posts here and there but it wouldn't let me post in the actual BeansROM thread itself. Any help with the problem would be much appreciated, or how to go about letting me post my question in the ROM's thread would also be a big help too!

I don't know the answer but it's in the ROM thread if you look hard enough as I do read it from time to time, I just don't use the ROM though, so I don't know right off which text color you have to change.

How do I do this?
Trying to find a thread I started. Even when I do a search under my username it only comes back with one reply I made a couple of days ago.

Thanks.
I think they must've all been deleted as it shows just this one & the one I mentioned.
A shame, someone replied to a question which I've just found the time to try. Now I can't find the thread

I mostly use google to search in forums, cause the built in searchers suck badly. Try using google: arb76 site:forum.xda-developers.com

Disable Hover

I've been trying to find a way to do this but I can't find a way, but figured maybe I'm missing something. Is there a way to disable Google's "Hover" notifications in Lollipop? They are pretty annoying when I'm playing games, or when singer one is using my phone they see my conversations.
Edit: just realized I posted this in the wrong section. If a Dev could please move this to Q&A.
Thanks!

For now its a built in feature with no option to disable. Im currently waiting for this myself so Google can either bring back the notification ticker, or someone can implement it in their ROM.
I think all sort of questions are asked here in XDA. You can go & assume to think that such question may not be asked by anyone & bham! You find it in the q&a section or somewhere else.
