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?
thanks
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 !!

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.
I've noticed that if I long press the home button, a small circle appears surrounding the left corner of the screen. On the circle is a link to Google Search which is displayed as the word Google. My question is whether I can customize app links that come up on that circle and how to do that.

Is there a mod that allows that to change? I know some developers have been working on a mod to change the app choices in the quick launch menu that comes up when the S-pen is removed. Is anyone aware of a similar mod for adding new choices to the long press on home?

Nova Launcher lets you change it. (It doesn't - silly me)

Thanks for pointing it out - amended my post.
I love how everything on android is easy to accomplish, soit boggles me why google has decided to run its search engine in such cubersome manner... I press on quick search widget, no option to take me directly to default browser, instead I have to search in a simplified google search page where I can't even open multiple tabs, WTF ?!
Any way around this mess ?

Yes, custom ROMs. The Slim Bean ROM I'm using right now lets me open a new "google.ca" tab in my default browser (Dolphin) when I drag from my Home button.
I don't want to flash another ROM, any way to do that with just a root ?
Idk. I usually just click a link and it opens it in browser but otherwise idk.

I am currently launching Google Now by long-press-home. Is there some 1x1 shortcut or something I can make as an alternate?
JB 4.1 based ROM, FWIW.
Thanks,
AJ

HY,you can always use the search bar i guess is 4x1 but does the job.
There should be an icon labeled "Google" in your app drawer. You may drag it to the home screen and start Google Now from there.

Thanks. I will try these suggestions.
I didn't think the "Google" app would launch Google Now, but I obviously didn't try it.

I am using custom a ROM on my Xperia U.. Named SlimBeans based on CM10 with modified Nova Launcher... Problem I am facing is that I want a Google Search Bar witch expands on home screen and get me to my desired app. I installed Google search, Play Now Launcher than Google search Box but no help at all.
Play Now launcher didn't work at all. But Google search and Search Box widget take me to Google search application instead of showing a search text box...

google search is used for searching google man.
So I was day dreaming about some thing which even didn't exist in Android world
I was expecting a search bar like Facebook messenger's chat head.. Where there When ever I touch it a cursor start blinking on home screen... I type some word and drop down list flow on screen. With suggestions .. That is what I was expecting
Please tell me if there is not such thing available than I should delete this thread.
