How to get Google search on lock screen shortcut - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm trying to get Google search on my shortcuts in the lock screen. I can get voice search but I Dont see anything that will take me to Google search/now. Any ideas or is there something else I can download?

What rom are you on? The aosp jb roms tend to have that feature on their lockscreens. I'm on paranoid and i have it. Other than that, i know holo locker off the playstore supports has it as well. I used to use holo locker on my d3. Hope this helps

Hello I'd really like to have the lock screen notifications that are swipeable to enter either the missed calls or received text messages but I don't want to go without the jellybean messaging layout. So if someone has already found a way to intergrate the touchwiz stock with the jb domination secmss or any other way to work his out I'd be greatful

Download mihome from the play store. You dont have to use the launcher if you dont want to, but it also installs milocker. Use this to select a vareity of lockscreen themes, I am sure you can find one in the app or on XDA and import I think. Good luck.
I found one called oppo, that is very cool.
Thanks for the idea but not what I'm looking for.

You can download the Jellybean messaging app from the play store.

Thanks for the suggestion but sorry not what I"m looking for. Again, I would like the jelly bean messaging interface with the touchwiz on screen lockscreen notifications.

How big of a reward are you offering? Messing with Touchwiz Framework is a *****!
A decent bounty depending on the result

To do this without coding, you could use this app and then change the lockscreen shortcut to this messaging app. Then, when you get a notification, you hit the lockscreen shortcut to this stock messaging app and then select the message. One more press of the screen to get similar functionality from the stock app. That's what I do.

Google Android 4.4 apk's

http://goo.gl/Rwk5FO

(note: velvet.apk is google search, latinimegoogle.apk is keyboard)
These are all taken from the following two URLs:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
All of them work for me on CM10.2 11/1 nightly except
-- to get exchange email working disable the old *exchange* under apps before seeing up the new email app.
-- Photosphere also crashes if you try to use it, and my camera FC'd after taking a picture. The new Gallery works great though.
-- Deskclock will not install
-- Voice search (using Google Now) will crash before it brings up a response unless you >> Hold down on homescreen, select settings, select Voice, change the voice (to English - UK for example). (update - better fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46994076#post46994076)
To get Google Home working
To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. (Cheers to Phandroid for figuring that out.)

Voice works just fine. I just can't get the hotword to open voice search.

Might have to download the offline English package. I had to do that to get it to work on another ROM. Its in the search/voice settings.

It's called Photos
The desk clock works if you disable the current one and then you load the new one as a system app
Edit: it crashes when you set an alarm though

I am not able to the the "Ok Google" to work either. I can go into Google Now and click on the mic and say what I want and that works. Any suggestions?
Update: Got it working now with the OP fix link.
One question though is I thought you would be able to say, "OK Google" from home screen and it will start to do a search. Do I need the 4.4 home screen for this to work?

I'm using the 4.4 launcher and it works from the home screen so I'm assuming yes

Most of the big ROM teams are working on 4.4 base now, CM, Slim, probably Paranoid Android etc. It shouldn't be long.

Are you referring to g+photos? I looked there and none of my pics show there. I really don't want them to either. I have no other photo app.

I looked on someone's stock gs3 and they have an app called photos, actually Google photos when you open it but it looks way different than g+photos. I tried to get the app from playstore but it doesn't show up.

I tried the 4.4 google launcher on l.s. 4.2.2. And jb 4.1.2. All is working great with no problems yet. Way cool.

Launcher options?

Anybody know of any launchers out there that integrate Google Now? I'd like to customize, but I like saying OK, Google (as cheesy as that sounds)

Don't think it's gonna happen.
KK Launcher is the only launcher I have seen to incorporate Google Now in any way. It launches Google Now when you scroll all the way to the left, but that's it.

As long as you keep the stock setting of swiping up on the home key to access Google Now, you're really only talking about a second or two to access the "Ok Google" feature.
Additionally, if you'd like to have the mic aware and listening constantly, I'd suggest the XDA link below. This way, you can have that feature available regardless of which launcher you're running.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404613
From what I read, it's only the stock launcher that can have the active listening.
Only reason I read about this was because I googled why it stopped once I installed Nova Launcher.

[Q] Google

Hello all...
There is a way how to disable that Google search "pie" like menu ? Sweeping from bottom is showing that Google ring that is taking you to Google now...
Thank you in advance

Freeze Google search maybe?
Just my first thought. Or use a different launcher.

I don't get it, on Nova launcher. But I have Google now off.

Use this app

Easiest solution I've found.
It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
