Samsung Galaxy S5 announced

[nate]

I didn't like SwiftKey.  I appreciate that it indexes social media, etc to come up with predictions but after you type a word, before you type another, it gives you a suggestion for the next word, instead of keeping up the predictions for the word you just typed.  Got annoying having to tap on the word I just typed constantly if I wanted to change it.

 

For those of you with the GS5, Touchwiz had a google search widget that let you just say "OK Google" when ever that desktop was active to open search.  Do you know how to add that on Nova?  The ones for Nova seem to require you to click the voice button instead.

I use a keyboard called TouchPal X. Works great

The " OK Google" feature doesn't work with Nova Launcher. Everything I have read seems to confirm that. Hopefully there will be an update to fix that. I miss that feature.

By predictions you mean replacing everything I type with whatever it wants me to type, then yes, it's great. Rally.

Rally.

Rallyfukinmo.

Well, it allowed that.

Anything that replaces what you intend to write with anything else is a win for everyone.

So this is a bit off topic but after watching the iOS8 keynote the only thing that they added that I wish the GS5 could do is the notification and lock screen upgrades.  By that I mean any time a notification comes up you can just pull it down and quick reply.  Same with the lockscreen, you can quick reply and do a bunch of stuff.  Samsung doesn't let us do shit on the lock screen which is really annoying.

 

The rest of the iOS8 stuff was pretty lolable.

 

edit:  I did get NiLS and NiLS Floating Panel for notifications on my lock screen.  It isn't perfect but it works.

Can't use it with the fingerprint scanner though can you?

 

I actually like NiLS more.

Thanks. I use UCCW with Flazing icon pack along with Nova Prime. I change the icon pack every once in a while.

I dunno. I'm a big fan of the active notification ability. I had the Moto X active notifications on a ROM on my Galaxy Nexus and loved it. I still haven't tried anything like that on the G2. Hell, I haven't even bothered to root it.

Whoa, it looks like Nova received a solid update today. OK Google works from the home screen. Solid.

Samsung’s first premium phone may go head-to-head with the iPhone 6 this September

 

@evleaks also showed some purportedly leaked pics of the Galaxy F earlier this week and they revealed what looked a lot like a Galaxy S5 with a nice metal case that’s a stark departure from Samsung’s standard plastic fare. Rumored specs for the Galaxy F include a 5.3-inch quad-HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, LTE-Advanced support, microSD support and Android 4.4.3 KitKat.

My screen today.....

 

[nate]

Lol, you really like changing it up, don't you VF?

 

I think I finally found a background and icon pack that I like.

Screw you and your weather.

[nate]

I would trade a day of nice weather for some INO lol

[Vladfan]

I am always trying to find different icons and clocks. I definitely like to change it often.

[nate]

I would love to find one that combines all that I have plus a clock but still only takes up the same amount of space.  I always want the current weather and the 5 day plus the toggles.
