Hello everyone! I was wondering if there is a xposed module or an app that you can search another app like in ios 7 where you drag down the homescreen and type which app/song/contact you are searching for. This would save a lot of time. Thanks! (Xperia P LT22i,rooted, unlocked bl)

The Google Search app that is installed with most Gapps packages will search your phone and the internet. Just launch the "Google" app in your app drawer and use the search box to find what you are looking for on your phone.

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 !!

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.

Thanks for the useless reply.
Found a better solution though: xposed gel settings from the play store.

Hey guys be nice together.. I understand everyone has their different opinions.. If you don't like the update you can unistall Google app it is system app..
If you have root download system app remover > grant access > unistall Google.. You can find older version on Internet just Google it.. If you want to install previous version..

understood, and you're right - so perhaps I across a bit harsh on my initial reply, so I apologize to bigv5150 for that.
however, my point was that I really enjoy the google search launcher, just don't like the latest update with the all white search bar nor the all white app drawer - and just wanted to share that with others and see if there was a way to make them transparent again. fortunately, I found the solution in the Xposed GEL app - which of course, requires the Xposed module installed, which also requires root.
after installing the xposed gel app, I was able to remove the search bar all together and change the app drawer background color scheme.

You can uninstall the update putting it back to the version you had before the update. That's what I did. You keep the previou search bar. That's what I said, don't read more into it.

Hi everyone !
Got a general question about the "Google App" aka "Google Now App" (and searching "google" in google isn't very helpful )
My question is : Is there a way to see the so called Google App in the app switcher ? Cause for now I can't make a search or show a news, switch to another app or minimize the Google App, and come back to my page, and it is very annoying...
Do you mean app drawer?
