I think he means installing them from appbrain or getjar.com
Your tab doesn't let you use those settings under application? they should be there. O_O

you might have to load a euro rom on att tab

I'm surprised you don't have this option :s
But non market apps are .APK files. You can find them on xda or on the interwebz.

[GUIDE] recover universal search

Hello,
This is my first guide. It's not my work but I thought I'd post it here as many people would find it useful. I found it somewhere in the sprint galaxy s3 forums a while back and I keep using it. It has worked on all the roms I have installed so far.
You will need a copy of the Google search apk with universal search. Here's my copy http://db.tt/Chg3ev9i
You will also need the app Root explorer found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=root+explorer+apk I don't know if there is a free version or if file explorer with root access will work. I use Root explorer and it works. Anyways for the guide:
1. Open up root explorer and navigate to /system/app
2. Mount as R/W
3. Copy googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk and paste it somewhere safe as a backup.
4. Delete googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk from /system/app
5.paste the Google search apk from my dropbox into this folder /system/app and set the permissions to RW-R--R-- (if you don't know what it looks like, check the permissions on any other apk in this folder and make it look the same)
6. Remount folder as R/O
7.exit Root explorer app
8. Go to your settings>application manager>all and scroll down to Google search (not the one with the pic of a search bar. The one with the big "G" ) tap it and tap clear data (if this is not an option, don't worry about it)
9. Go back to Settings>application manager>all and scroll to googleservicesframework.apk, tap on it and tap clear data.
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy your universal search

You can do that but it will erase when you reboot. To make it stick, you have to do the full method

Anyone else having trouble with the search widget after installing this?

Solve this by long press menu at home screen to force search than hit the accept button at the prompt. Search widget should now work. Or just go to your apps and run search app and hit accept.

Thank you so much for this. Made me so happy to have uni search back. F'n Apple and their stupid lawsuits over stuff they stole.
Thanks again and as always...
GOBEARS!

Universal search was keeping me on the LF2 base. While I may need a good reason to come off of LF2 at least now I know I have the option.

Thank you, thank you!
I had been trying an apk that was posted for use on my GTab 8.9, but it never worked on the S3. I consider the $4 for Root Explorer a small price to pay to get this functionality back where it belongs. Kudos!:good:

For those of us on jelly bean (AT&T S3), would this process still be beneficial or does Google Now cover it all?

You can easily tell local search is in Google Now, just search for an app you have in your app drawer using it. This was for ICS when Samsung removed local search.

Xposed frameworks Guide!!!! + Examples

How to install the Xposed Framework and Use it ( Thanks to Rovo 89)
For the framework:
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it ( download below)
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
For any modifications/modules you want to install:
Download <module>.apk and install it ( first install the app settings)
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
Instructions for using modules :
Starting with Gmail
At this point i believe u have rebooted your phone after installing app settings and before that the Xposed installer itself
Open app settings and search for Gmail.
To get the kind of result displayed below
1. Change Screen(dp) settings to preferably 600*1024
2. Change font scale to 80 otherwise the dual panel will look messed up.
3. I would suggest u change the orientation to always landscape - worked best for me - depends on your liking
press the save button on the right top corner (then press yes) and check your newly designed gmail app right away
You can tinker with the settings and change it to your liking
Now lets move on to System Settings menu. (Dual panel!)( If u dont use Liquid smooth or AOKP)
search for settings in App settings
in the settings menu
Change DPI to 160
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600
and font scale to 130 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE )
Now save and check it out!
For the same thing - But If u use LiquidSmooth or AOKP)
Search for force dual panel in your system settings menu and check it.
Then go to app settings -> settings -> and then
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Save and enjoy!
Now one last example for the PLAY STORE
Search for playstore in the app settings list and enter it.
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE - YOUR CHOICE - WORKS BOTH WAYS )
Additional Settings for each app:
1. u can check fulscreen to disable statusbar in that app
2. Check screen on to change display timeout to never!( it will always stay on in that ap
3. go to locale settings and select the language u want to display it in!

It is cool to set SystemUI to 160, it makes your status bar very small, but still noticeable and visible.
Then, as I remember I couldn't get it to work on ViperS 3, SenseUI did FC. But on 1.6.3 it work like a charm, only issue is some icons in settings are not shown as they should - they become a red square.
EDIT: On ViperS 3.0.2 it works just fine, not sure what will happen after rebase tough.

Thanks will try that too. And will add links to more modules in a while

It is a guide with links. I will add more links in a few hours. And maybe expand the guide too if I find a good module to explain.
BTW there is a thanks button for a reason. Please make a habit of thanking a person when he helps you

Have to say, with the GMAIL not in landscape mode, but portrait mode, can't really see the mail.

Yeah that's because of our screen size. That's exactly why I said that I prefer switching it to only landscape mode.

XDA automatically moved your question to a question & answer thread b/c you are a new user. Basically, on first boot up, you will need to enable developer settings, by going into settings & scrolling to the bottom. Select "about phone". Tap on "build number" rapidly until it says developer settings have been opened. Back back out into the normal settings menu and select developer options. In there, find the selection that controls root. Click on it and select "apps & adb". Then reboot and try root checker again. PM if you have any questions. XDA probably won't let you post in my main thread until you get like 10 posts or so.
