I just installed Cassie's Rom, and I think I may have forgotten to add in search from the custom list. I have the persistant search bar on the home screen, but clicking on it does nothing. And now since I've set up my phone, i dont want to have to go back and do it all again. Is there a way to install the search app?
Might be a long shot but try downloading Google's Search App from the Play Store. I used to do that when I used MIUI roms that defaulted to the chinese search engine. Might at least be worth a shot.

I was wondering if there was a one touch lock app. I guess in a way it's similar to the iphone? Just press the widget and the phone's lockscreen engages. I dont want to press the power button all the time. I also have the screen on the quickest time out but sometimes find my phone doing weird things in my pocket lol. I've tried as many apps I could find but none of them seem to fit my needs.
I found one that does what I want but according to the reviews, people have problems with it and can't uninstall it. I dont really wanna take that chance.
Description from appbrain:
Lock Screen Widget
Locks your phone with one click iPhone-style.
Before uninstalling widget make sure to disable admin permissions in Location & security > Select device admin > Lock Screen Widget
So does anyone know of such an app?
Also how does one go about disabling the admin permissions in android 2.1 if I do decide to install the lock screen widget?
Thanks
I've got that installed. Works great. My power button stopped working when I replaced my digitizer.

You quoted the name of the app and instructions for how to use it................. search the market for "Lock Screen Widget" ..............
So I did but did you read the reviews? People can't uninstall it. I dont know about you but I can't find the admin permissions if I do need to uninstall it (obviously our phone doesnt have "location and security" it just has location and security listed separately but no "select device admin"). Maybe I'm looking under the wrong setting? Maybe I should've said I'm looking for something similar...

I installed it and was able to uninstall it as well. The instructions are right on the market page for the widget about disabling it in 'Select Device Administrators', but I have no idea why you wouldn't have that option.
Are you using the stock rom?
Yes I am using the stock rom. I'm guessing the device admin is in froyo.
I guess maybe I should get CM6 lol..
thanks for the info

You can use Tasker to build your own widget for this.

Hey,
I have a little problem with my contacs, every time I pull out and pull back sim card, all contacs copy somehow.. It is little annoying when you see a lot of the same contacs. I need app which can delete multiple contacs (hard enough to do it by my self, because more than 200 contacs have to be deleted).
Also, I need a power control app, which contain a "mobile data connection" button. I were using power control widget, which had this button, and now flashed a new rom and can`t find it, there are just brightness,sync,gps,wireless and bluetooth buttons.
Please offer any paid/free apps for me,
Thanks
and sorry of my bad english
Hi
im not too sure about the contacts part i use go contacts ex for that so just saying
but as far as power control goes try extended controls it lets you make a control out of anything even apps
and will let you theme them, so look it up and give it a try
hope this helps

Did you read my post? Launch the app, once it is launched three little dots will appear at the top or bottom of the screen, these are where you enter any applications settings.

Try a long-press on the screen? Most apps will follow the android guidelines of using the 3 dots to indicate the menu, but others (especially homescreens) will rely on long-presses to declutter the UI.

Screenshot is built in (power and volume down).
Are you looking for screen recording? Like a video? That is built in as well but I don't remember that one.
t/u
I tried it before posting and it just lowered volume tried again and worked instantly must have something to do with way I held the buttons. t/u
You can also use power plus home key
Save location
Is there a way to change save location to a different location preferably my SD card? t/u

If I were you I would go and download/install Xposed for LP (there is a thread in XDA.) Then go and d/l the Sense 6 Toolbox (once Xposed is installed and activated make sure you go into Options/Settings and allow for BETA version.)
Once you have Sense 6 TB installed you will have the option to take screenshots by long pressing one of the buttons. I use this option instead of the stock options.

Or, you can add Screenshot as one of your Quick Settings options. As for changing the default save location....not sure about that at all. Have you tried using a Google search for that method?

Its not possible without editing the framework, you can use third-party apps like tasker to schedule copies made from internal to external though, as for stock get with your rom dev and see if they'd incorporate a switch for you.
T/u all
Always search 1st and t/u all but didn't want 3rd party app was just interested in trying to change default save location. With all that we do I thought someone might have a way to change it via SQL editor or some sort of flash.
I don,t know how to really call it, but how to disable the Google news feed on the swipe left home?
Another problem is sending a contact shortcut to the homescreen. it says its already there bu its not.
Lucky i didn,t get this phone myself, its UI is just horrible ****.

If you do not like the UI change it or get rid of the mobile. For you it is horrible but for most of users not. It is a matter of taste.
Good luck with it.

Thx, very helpful
use a third party launcher to get rid of google page (lawnchair launcher 2,nova launcher)
and make sure you haven't locked homescreen when adding contact shortcut
I accidentally found a way to remove the Google feed.
I tried installing 'Breeno feed' from APK mirror. The phone required rebooting before it appeared on the left of my homescreen.
Most of the features didn't work properly, probably due to my phone being from the UK. So I uninstalled it (on app menu shows as 'Quick Glance').
After uninstalling it, Google feed no longer appears on my home screen, in fact I can't swipe left at all now
It stayed gone after a reboot and hopefully won't cause any issues.
Just thought I'd share this info and hope it can help someone.
After another reboot today Google feed reappeared..
So I just quickly repeated the steps and it's gone again. I guess it doesn't remain after a reboot.
Hi I've upgraded to this phone today from my find X2 pro and I saw this thread so I extracted the Smart Assistant apk from the find x2 installed it on the find x3 and it works fine but you only get weather, calendar and step counter features with my apk I've attached below if any of you want it.
Edit: there's a bug with weather not updating but otherwise it's better than having google on it I guess
Install apk and reboot.

Yh it doesn't update for me either I'll have to let people know that
There is another solution for disabling it completely which was shared by wedaxi on reddit:
Hello, maybe it's late to leave an answer but this is how I removed the google feed completely from the home screen.
You need to enable developer tools on your phone: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
Download Android Studio on your computer (this is the easiest way to install adb wich you will need, but you can search how to install adb independently)
Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable (you can also connect the phone wirelessly but the cable is the easiest method https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google feed app
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This only disables the app, it does not uninstall it, to do that you probably need to root the phone and I just don't recommend it.
I'm sorry if this method is not the easiest, this is what I did after not finding any other solution and It works.
However the Goolge-App and Lens won't work afterwards!
Hey there,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
