Samsung galaxy s messenger/sms apk

Hey,
Can someone send me the apk of the messenger app of the galaxy s, i love that app but i've got an x10, so i'd like to see if it works on my phone as well
Sorry for my poor English, I'm Dutch.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

interested aswell

I have galaxy s but it's just regular sms. If you are talking about the widget, it's part of Touchwiz launcher

I'm looking for this as well since the one built into my Evo is slow. I love it but it's slow. The Galaxy S/Droid X have the best ones IMO since it's basically stock but with chat bubbles.
inb4 "use handcent", it kept my phone awake so I'm not touching it anymore.

Another SMS app that has the iphone style view is ChompSMS.
I've been using it on my EVO since I ran into issues with handcent.
I know it's not exactly the answer you're looking for, but it's always worth a shot suggesting something "similar"

[APP] Google Now Alternative - Maluuba

I'm currently running the latest JB MiUi which I thought would have a working Google Now app, negative. Today I came across this baby, Maluuba which is an alternative to just that!
Direct Link - Maluuba v.1.0.3 (thanks frenzyboi)
I've tried it out for myself and love it!
It's even better than Google Now in my opinion.
Have fun, hit thanks

Very pitty it is just in U.S. (( Would you provide the apk to try it outside this continent?

Don't really have much function though I must admit the UI is really great.

Hey, glad you found our app! You're right, that would sketch me out too, we definitely don't share your google contacts with anyone ! Here's a post that explain what we actually do with all the permissions, but i'll look at getting our privacy policy updated asap to reflect that!

Just started playing with this today. Very nice work. And thank you. Not sure it's a replacement for for my g-now, but it is certainly a nice addition to it. Thanks again.

Very nice.....
I like this app byw Google now...
Wish it talked to me like Google now not conversation although that would be cool just like the weather and definitions etc
Love the music player integration very nice.... The theme feels win7 to me..... Eh...
Overall I like pinned it to my swipe up gesture

I am unable to download from the Play Store. However, I can install and use the direct link-ed apk :/ Weird.

It's more like a google voice search/siri like than google now?

Works for me
I'm currently at GB so haven't probe Google Now, but this works really good.

its updated today current version is 1.0.3 includes widget now, can you somehow post direct link for the new version as you did before, thanks!

Maluuba v1.0.3
https://www.dropbox.com/s/alsf0fait706khv/Maluuba v1.0.3.apk
What's in this version:
Thanks to your great feedback we have now included a Widget! The widget is available in 3 different formats to best suit your preferences.
More updates:
- Physical Search button now includes Maluuba
- Various Bug fixes to improve performance and stability
- Improved search queries (Bing will only be used when you explicitly mention it in your request)
To be released soon:
- Multiple Calendar support
- Adding a Settings page to allow you to set preferences (metric system,etc)
Thanks if I helped

This is impressive. I installed it on several phones. I cannot wait for more updates. on my nexus this is getting as much use as google now is. Still some bugs, but I love what s been going on so far.

Big thanks for this app.Works great and looks great also.Just one thing, any chance to have a choice between Farenheit and Celcius degrees in the next version?
Unless I can`t see it in the current 1.0.3 version.
edit:// Nevermind, found it.Just tap on the actuall temperature.

Try it, but seems useless outside USA, and my bad english does not help.

If you use an AOSP based ROM such as CM10/AOKP they will have Jelly Bean and one of the new things added is Google Now which I think is 10x bettery imo.

You could try Robin from the play store. It worked fine on my GS II Skyrocket. The S-Voice app would always crash.

Embryo ROM has S-Voice.

S voice sucks everytime I tried it (not sure about the S3 , but in SR that is).. Waste of time .

Agreed - I've used both on my S2, and Google Now is better. To be honest, regular Voice Search is just as good in a lot of ways!

S-voice...
I am not totally sure, but I believe it has to be a TW rom in order to work correct? This is more of a question for my own memory banks than a statement...
I use Google Now and it works really well. Just need Google Now to open apps and put events in calendar and the stars will align....

Previous SNote?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Hats the new Snote app. I liked the fact that the menus would hide to increase size of the page for writing, and switching from pen to eraser was jn one place on the right. All gone.

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

Good calendar app instead of Google Calendar?

I am so used to the calendar app from my Samsung SII (E4GT) that I never really used google calendar on my phone and on my N5 it just stinks. On my tablet google calendar is fine and so are the widgets but on the phone not so much. Worst thing is not having a nice month view that lists items instead of just showing colors.
So what is a good alternative? I only use google calendar so I am not syncing with other email services and I have a shared google calendar with the wife so need to keep that in one place.
Thanks

I use Neat Calendar widget with the stock calendar, works well for me.

I signed up for their beta a while ago on the any.do website. You can try there and see if they still have it going.

Hi, friends!
I am using amazing Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM (I can not post the link to this app due to the rules of XDA forum) . I have use for years DateBk5 from same developer on my Palm.
Also I use Next Launcher 3D with its calendar widget.
My question is: how can I force calendar widget open Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM instead pf stock calendar?
The"Clear defaults" in stock calendar is greyed and I can set Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM as my default calendar application.
Any hint, please.
