[Q] Using CM10 - Swipe up shows half circle menu, can you customize? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using CM10 and Apex on my GT2 7.0" and I noticed when I swipe up from the bottom, a half circle appears with a Google icon that I can select and it goes to a Google search. Can I add other apps to this pop-up menu? I have searched and I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for your help!

Its called Google now! It's a feature in jb! Moreover like siri in ios!!

Google maps menu

Can somebody check Google maps app on their 7 plus to see if the menu works in the top left hand corner(see attached pic). It's not working for me like it does on my other tab. Just want to know if it's the same for anyone else..

Nothing happens when I tap that icon on my 7" tablet. On my phone (SGSII), that icon brings up a menu with options such as "clear map, places, layers, my places", etc
However, the same options are available on the 7+ via the menu icon on the upper RIGHT hand corner. (I think google just moved the options for the honeycomb devices)
Are those the options are you looking for?
Take care

OK thanks, yes that what I'm after. Some odd changes on Honeycomb that don't really make sense

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.

Where is the menu button?

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

[Q] searching between my APP

hello!
I just updated android to 4.2.2 and now I don't see any way to search between my APP, I have of course some APP in my home screen but when I press "Apps" it shows like always all the app but there is no way to search writing the name of the APP.
Am i missing something?

Are you talking about the search button in the touchwiz app drawer or about the google search widget on your home screen ??

hello
mm, I don't have the touchwiz app installed and I'm not talking about the google search widget.
I'm talking about the normal search option in the "apps" screen.
for example when I want to use an app that I don't have in my home screen I go to "Apps" then I use the search option writing the first 2 letters of the app and it filters out and shows only the apps with those 2 letter right?, well I don't have this search option any more.
any ideas?
cheers!

Ok it looks like you are new to the android world !
So first of all touchwiz is the stock rom that comes with all samsung devices.. And the touchwiz app-drawer is the default app drawer !!
Anyways .. In 4.2.2 the feature is not there but you can always search the name of the app from the Google search widget on your home-screen !!

[Q] Lockscreen shortcuts

Well, have the phone for a week now and still couldn't figure out how to add shortcut to lockscreen.
No app nor widget... Only accessible is the pre-installed Google search
Is this specific to MotoG or Android 4.3????
There are few apps on the Play, but I would like to know if there's native support for lockscreen apps/widget on MotoG or not.
UPDATE
Nevermind. Just figure it out.
When lockscreen active press the power button and either very left or right side of the screen press and slide and it show new "tab" with + and there you can add widget. However, it shows actual data (SMS, Email) so any one can check it ( so much about privacy!!!).
Why the hell Moto couldn't add simply notification???
UPDATE 2 :
The camera shortcut (far right) can not be changed/deleted.
You can ad up to 7 widgets ONLY (no apps!).
To delete/change shortcut, briefly press Power button slide to desired tab and press and hold until you see X Remove on the top. Just pull up the page toward it and it will be removed and you can add another widget.
This is what stock android is like
