where's google now? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought it was going to be included witht 4.1.1, but i don't see it after the update, and it's not on the market either... What am i missing here

Long press the Home button and you should see a circle with "Google" in it. Select that and Google Now opens.

I didn't even think about that... Does anyone know if it's in the gapps zips? I don't think it is, since maps wasn't in the zip I flashed.

Look in your apps list too for a blue icon with a white letter g just labelled "Google". That's Google Now.

I figured that out after I made my reply. Lol.

You can also launch it from the lock screen or the Google search bar.

I'm still trying to figure out how this all works. It seems like it works better on a phone, than my Transformer Pad, for me... The scheduling and other features are something I access on my phone, but not my pad.

Market disappeared help

As stated. My market icon dissappeared but still shows market installed.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Google has just changed all of their services check if there is an app called "Play" or google play that is the new market
Thanks. Just found it before I saw your post. You would figure that they would replace the market icon on the screen. Was going nuts. Felt like a newbie

Any idea on how to get the Play Store shortcut back on the main screen app dock?
When mine updated the new icon shows in the apps section but vanished on the main screen dock and it isn't part of the widget options.
Disregard as I figured out how to get it back on the dock!! Dummy me...

HELP! Tablet "Launch Bar"?

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.

Once I saw a black orinverted google apps package somewhere on xda,but I could not find it again.

maybe once this device gets farther along in development and gets cm9 or cm10 then there are a few inverted gapps packages like what your asking. this kind of stuff does not happen overnight. if you would like you could try to push an inverted contacts app to /system using adb but no promises it would work as well as the stock one and i dont even know where you could find one. good luck

No "what is new" information

Hi.
When I update an app in my TF700 (JB) through Play, "what's new" and description information are missing in the update screen. It just shows permissions. The only way to find out what's updated and to see description is to look for the app in the search bar, as if you're installing the app first time. This bug, if it is a bug, does not exist on my other devices. Any idea to resolve this? Thanx.
I just tap on the app itself to display the changes with the latest update. In Google play, my list of apps appear on the left-hand side of the screen and if I just tap on the app that's about to update it will show the permissions required. Then I tap the link to the app itself (just anywhere near the upper right hand where the name of the app is) and it will take me to the app in Google play with a list of the changes.

Same for me, I think this is by design. And it's really inconvenient. My workaround: Install "Changelog Droid".
Lol. Just Click the app icon on the right hand side and all will be revealed.

Yes, I've found out that. While installing the update if you press the icon of the app on the right upper side, it brings you the basic install information was well as what's new information. Still, without starting the install no show of change log. But thanx anyway.

megamoz, you don't have to start to install to be able to click on the icon on the upper right hand side. Just clicking anywhere on the grey area or the name of the app in the grey area on the right hand side should take you to the app with the 'What's New' up the top. This can be done anytime for your list of installed apps.

Apk's won't install

I'm running Clean ROM Inheritance 3.2.1 and I can't get apk's to install. Specifically Asus MyFrame and the email widget (it has oddly disappeared). After I run them it always finishes with "X app not installed". Any one know why? Thanks.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
These are both apps/widgets that are included in the main AROMA install of CROMI -- did you select them in the installer? Check in system/app if the apk files are there -- you cannot install a user app if an apk with the same name is present in the system/app folder. This is the first step I can think of right now --not much, sorry -- but if you give it a try and then report back in, we'll take it from there. Someone far more knowledgeable than me will come in eventually.
Sent from a comfortable chair from the outer ring of Purgatory. The red guy asked me to say 'hi'.
As Marty says you shouldn't need to install these - they are part of the installer in CROMI.
What are you actually trying to do?
I had the email widget after installing 3.2.1. Then after installing Bacon Reader for reddit from the play store the desktop icon got placed where the email widget was and the widget vanished. It is no longer listed as an installed widget.
I did select myframe during the CROMI setup but it does not show up in the list of installed apps.

Right, first My Frame will never show up - it is accessed by going into live wallpapers
Now onto your other issue - are you using the stock launcher? I suspect not as asus widgets don't play nicely with some other launchers. The fact you said another icon got placed over the top sounds like you are using Nova or Apex with allow widget overlapping turned on.
I'm using the JB 4.2 launcher

Yep that'll be the issue - Asus widgets don't like the non stock launcher especially if you change from the default DPI settings.
Try it on the Asus Stock launcher and I bet you won't have an issue
I'll just find a new email widget. That one took up to much real estate for want it did anyway. Enjoying the JB 4.2 experience too much. Thanks for the help.
