also if your not getting images with your results, go to settings and click the use google.com instead of native and bam you have imaged answer cards

Can confirm it works on Evil Alex, but not sure if I get the audio notifications yet.
I was also under the assumption, a pop-up card would appear when near a point of interest.

I think that it takes a few days for it to gather data. Then, when it has enough, and sees a pattern it will start to present you with the cards.
I haven't had it long enough to take, so I don't show cards yet either. But from what I've read that's the deal.

for talkback you need to click the little settings icon in bottom right corner of google now...a whole bunch of settings come up, go to places and set as you like. also check use google.com instead of native to get images with the results cards,.
the google now will recognize after a few days that you leave to go to a certain place each day, then ask if you wanna set it as your place of work, it then starts to give you updates as to when you should leave to arrive on time and such.

That is because of the drawable settings , I noticed this also and I'm trying to fix it , I'm close to solution.
EDIT:
Here you go , this one deletes voicesearch.apk also and installs the Google_Now.apk (Velvet) modded so it only shows a Search icon and mic icon in left corner and not the 2 google icons.
Flash with cwm , it should work on G100W / A500 and A501
This is how it looks now.

Under the "Privacy and accounts" it lists:

I wonder if it's different cuz you're in a different country.

think that may be a reason:

Universal Search Function on Galaxy Note 10.1

Has samsung restored the universal search function (ability to search anything in the phone like apps, etc) on their tablets especially Note 10.1 ? I have the galaxy tab 2 10.1 and this function is still not there yet....
Can any one who own the note try to confirm this ? Are able to search for apps ( ie camera, gallery ) or just the web ?
If you are talking about the google search on top left corner, the answer is no, it does not search in the installed apps, only web.
Thats weird... most android device other than samsung will allow search for apps in the device

Universal search is there (at least on the N8000). Only a couple of things come preset. You can change it in the setting in the upper right corner.
Can confirm it searches locally. I have the GT-N8000.

Could you please clarify? I went and check the help. It says that I should tap Google on my homescreen, then Settings in top left corner, and I should see "Searchable items" but it's not there. Any ideas?

Which model exactly?
There are 3 GT-N80xx units - N8013 may have some crippling thanks to Apple choosing to litigate rather than innovate.

The setting to select what to search is on the top right (see screenshot) when you open up the search function (which is on the top left on the home screens).

I'd guess they forgot to update the help pages on the 8013 so it still describes the option. Like others have said the U.S. version(s) have it disabled due to litigation.

Does that mean that we could flash a stock ROM from a different country and have the option working on the N8013?

Because the model number is different (8013 vs. 8010) I'm not sure. Entropy can probably advise you. I'm sure there will be third party ROMs that address it pretty soon.

Oh I see, I tought that the 8013 model was like the 32gb WiFi only version everywhere, but I understand now that it means it's the US WiFi version... meh I guess I will just wait a bit and try a custom ROM down the road, I don't really need to search apps, I barely use the fonction on my SGS2 anyway.
I don't see many advantages in rooting/flashing as of right now.
What about the Search apk? Maybe someone with an international version could extract it and we'll see if it works on the US version.

I had it on my GS3... and with the update, it was removed.
I put it back in with a ROM with these instructions: HERE
Anyone willing to try this on the Note?
I have the 8013 and also do not have local search (very frustrating)
I have it.

Editing the multitasking apps

I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.
Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?

the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.
Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.
A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.
It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?
Thanks for your help.
I have maps in my multitasking bar!
From the.start. LIJ1 Italian.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.
Are you sure you have maps installed?
Yep, have maps installed.
Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar
Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.
Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.

have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)
If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?
to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.
Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!
Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.

for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.
back on-topic...
maps definitely is not there, weird.
I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?
Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.
Edit:
can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.
Here you go.
Maps is here, and *#1234# results
Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).
Where did you get the phone?
Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.

It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).
If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.
Have we found a way yet?

Google Wallet: Tap to pay

If you want to use tap to pay you will need to sideload the apk. You need 4.4 for this.
You can get that here: http://phandroid.com/2013/11/14/nexus-7-google-wallet-apk
Just go into security and make sure you have the box ticked off that says you can install from unknown sources.
EDIT: I have already purchased items wallet at Duane Reade so it is confirmed to work.
Has this been tested and known to work?

So just to minimize the chances of looking like an idiot...if it's all set up, you just get the total on the little card swiper (with the tap to pay ditty on the top) and just turn the phone on and hold it close...no need to open Wallet?
Thanks,

Make sure you setup tap and pay first. And you might need to put in your pin. I didn't use it enough to remember the details.

I don't think it's the card. I've used it to buy from the playstore before. I also put $20 onto Google Wallet to see what would happen. I'm not getting an option in the Tap n Pay section to add Google Wallet. I think thats where the issue is.
I've tried everything else I can think of though so maybe it is my card for some odd reason.

Weather and At glance problem

Hi friends i updated my mi a1 to pie, done hard reset after update and set my phone from beginning with pie update. But having a problem no mater what i do i can't get weather to show near at glance, just show date and no weather. I can ask assistant for weather and it tells me but thats it. If that is the case that i can't make weather icon to show near at glance i would rather to completely remove at glance! Is that possible and how? Regards
You can try by resetting Google discover preferences in Google now settings.
That worked for me.

The workaround or "catch" , as you say, for me at least is to turn WiFi on.
When I'm on mobile data weather just don't refresh itself.
Tried everything else, but this is what works always.

I am checking my claims(on my own phone lol)
Noice I did feel it being faster
got one ui 2.1 update in Pakistan...fingerprint feels hella fast than before....firmware is off course availabile on sam mobile...try it out...definitely u ll feel difference in fingerprint
What i did:
i recorded one finger a bit over 50%, then i use the same finger of the other hand to fill it up to 100%.
This procedure i repeated twice for another two fingers.
It doesn´t make it that faster, but it´s much more comfortable, because i can use 6 instead of 3 fingers.
The problem is that 8 out of 10 times it says "no match".
