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

Well I was playing around with my new galaxy s3 today and I went to got use the internet app and I accidentally deleted the app from the home screen. I looked in the app drawer and its no where to be found. Can someone please help me.
I'm thinking it would be hard to permanently delete the browser, but I think I know how to help you.... by default the S3 is not sorting apps in your app drawer alphabetically and it makes things impossible to find. Go into the app drawer, hit the menu button, press View Type, and change it to alphabetical grid or alphabetical list, whichever you prefer, and you should be able to find it. You can also change apps on the bottom bar of the homescreen by long pressing then dragging them in and out/to the trash. Good luck and enjoy your S3... it's an awesome phone!

Will try and get back.
I however would have liked it better integrated into Primo Launcher as I dislike installing a lot of little apps called plugins to fill gaps in a launcher.
Cheers!

With similar success you can claim that every Linux distribution steals from every other one because they all share the same core.
Great apps. I really like this primo apps. I am using its launcher in my another set . After that i forget apex or nova. This primo app provide me a new life on my gb based phone . This gesture is perfect except please provide the option to move floating icon to anywhere.

Hope you can make a new launcher soon!
Primo was quite better than Apex... :crying:
If possible make a new primo launcher with same features as before but support gb+.
it's working good for me. I like that you can use a custom image and change the opacity. One suggestion I have would be to make a black background or custom background appear when triggered instead of a darkened settings menu. Just my two cents...
Edit: I j just noticed that this'd only happens if you exit the app from the app's settings menu. If you press back to get out of there menu then it doesn't bring up the settings menu when triggered. Does that make sense?

Would it be possible to have multiple buttons at the same time? also sizing them in rectangular shape? I'd like to be able to have some thin but long area to tap on both sides of the screen

I mean the touch button left of the home button. Long pressing it opens Google search, but i disabled that and primo gesture still doesn't open.

That doesn't seem like an issue with Primo Gesture. If you used another app to remap that button, then it began acting just like 'Search', not long press on Search, i.e. long press on that button is like what would otherwise be a short press on 'Search'.

I didn't use any app to remap that button, long pressing it started Google search by default, so i thought it was something kind of like a search button... Guess I'll have to put up with the icon in the notification bar

Is there a way to be able to set Google Now to open on a long press of the home button? When I do it, it gives me the option to hit the Google Now link but can't I set it like s voice was before? Thanks!

It should auto open if you long press the menu button.
You can do this under CM 10. I am not sure if you are rooted and interested in using that ROM though.

Download an app from the Play Store called Home2 Shortcut. This will allow you to change the double click of the home button to use Google Now, or any other application that you want instead of S Voice.
I do that with my un-rooted Galaxy S3 i535. It's fantastic, just beware because Google Now doesn't play nice with your bluetooth headset is all.

I use Nova Launcher. I set it up to swipe any blank space on my phone to open Google Now. Its quick and simple.

I do the same with apex launcher. Works great, and is quicker than double tapping the home button.

I use Nova Launcher as well and set the home button to launch google now.
Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

Is it just me or can I not customize the order I want my apps in on the smartwatch 2? I press the menu button and the only options are alphabetical and frequency used. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just missing something?

Only thing you can do is use Frequency, and keep tap the app you want to order and the home button. You can also tap it when watch not connected to phone.
Yeah, this seems one of the strangest missing features IMO. I don't see why you can't simply re-order them in the Smart Connect app, either - would that be so hard? Either way, the favorites thing is not so bad until the watch goes and forgets the order you had them in, which can be mighty annoying. It's happened to me only once so far but, like aseeme555076 says you can sort of force it to order them how you want.
sw2 extension: "This is the official Sony application for SmartWatch 2 SW2. It enables you to utilize all the powerful Android benefits of this innovative smartphone accessory*. With this app, you can decide how your smartphone interacts with SmartWatch 2, what app extensions are available for your watch and how they are arranged. "
I tried several times to arrange them, "click and drag" but it was impossible, they didn't move :laugh:
Anyway, I miss this feature.It would be great to put them in a certain order. I wonder why Sony didn't make it possible to arrange them from the phone in sw2 extension app.
