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?

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 !!

[Q] Apps obscure each other in recent apps when using "Complete action using"
Where I click on a link in my browser, let's say it's a link to an app in the Google Play store, I'm presented with a dialog titled "Complete a action using" and offered a choice of applications to open it in. Let's say I choose "Play Store". Now in the recent apps list accessed by holding down the home button, I see my browser, "Chrome Beta" as an app title but the image is of Google Play. If I click on it, I am taken to the Google Play app and not to Chrome. I can get back to Chrome by opening it again in my launcher, but if I do this, Google Play vanishes from recent apps and opening it again from the launcher presents me with the Google Play "home page" and not the app page I opened from Chrome.
This problem is the same with other app combinations (i.e Chrome and YouTube).
Is there a way to open the Google Play application into it's own new entry in the recent apps list to prevent this problem (which is really annoying when you have a deep click trail exploring different apps in Play Store then want to use Chrome for something) or some alternative app or mod to switch tasks that doesn't suffer this issue, especially replacing or modifying the action that happens when you hold down the home key?

There is a guide for changing the app launched by long pressing the home button here. If I find a replacement app that doesn't have this issue, I will post it.

AppSwipe! restores the app you called up "Complete action using" from instead of the app you chose to complete with, but there doesn't appear to be any way to bring the second app up, certainly with Play Store, it took me back to the Play Store when I selected it from the running apps list. So close, yet so far.

I have the following problem. Sometimes if I haven't opened the search app in a while, when I am trying to open it by clicking the search bar, the animation starts and the app closes (the search window minimizes). Then I tap the search bar again and it works. As long as the search app stays in the multitasking tray I can open the search app by clicking the search bar once. If I swipe the search app away from the multitasking tray, then it takes two taps to open the search app as I described above. Do you have the same problem? What should I try? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the google search app but the issue continues.
PS. I am sorry for my english, its not my native language.
Having the same issue. No idea why its really annoying.

Hello guys! In my old mobile, I had installed an app (I believe it was a battery manager or something similar) wich had also a mode similar to the extreme save battery mode that the s5 has, a black screen with only call, sms and other few options and everything else deactivated. You could access this mode not from the settings of the phone but from the app menu if I remeber correctly, it had a dedicated icon (just like it was another separate app) but was not a launcher.
Do you know what app could it be?
Thank you very much!
Have you checked under "my apps" on the app store? Choose "not installed" If you are using the same Google account and you did not delete the App, it should be listed there!

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.
