i am not sure why each manufacturer insists on having a home-grown system when the google one is already good… i feel it would be better to spend resources on updating devices so that they can have the latest products google already spent the time on and delivers for free

tell me about it... they have a clear winner on their hands and all they do is waste resources into building one when they

1. do no posses a search engine
2. no do posses a knowledge base
3. need to rely on 3rd party sites and sources

Google search and now should have been a call to all manufacturers to "stop playing search engine on android" ... and leave that to the heavy guns.

if they want to improve what Google has to offer then submit features and code Google could use to improve its offering instead of competing against it

on a side note... man that app looks ugly

i know.. with stupid sense on my one x i dont even have a way to easily access anything voice related… i really hate the skins that cover android

8. protozeloz posted on 24 Jul 2012, 07:10

you do not have the voice search widget? D: I kinda hate sense tho

11. Lucas777 posted on 24 Jul 2012, 12:27

ya i have it.. but not on my homepage because it looks ugly… i mean there is no hold-down homebutton like there is on iphone-- it needs an access from everywhere sort of button

12. protozeloz posted on 24 Jul 2012, 12:57

well search was that button for ya.... but hen all of a sudden they decided hardware "soft keys" where a great idea.

you may wanna try wave launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com​.mobilemerit.wavelauncher&feature=related_apps#?t=​W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLm1vYmlsZW1lcml0LndhdmVsYX​VuY2hlciJd)

ya i like universal search buttons-- i especially love the way windows phone does it-- and i hate software keys a lot, but that is preference

and ill try the launcher thanks

software keys will improve with time, for example search is swipe up from home button on the nexus(4.1) from any screen, I personally didn't like HTC's approach, they should have used on screen keys or a regular array instead of this new one.

I'd like some feedback regardless, it helps me recommend apps to people :D

wave launcher is good (i dont like the look too much but its extremely functional)-- i still would prefer stock though

17. protozeloz posted on 25 Jul 2012, 18:40

yeah, app needs more polish in terms of its interface. I heard there is a ICS rewrite going on(nothing official yet), maybe it improves with an ICS look and feel. thanks for the feedback :D

Yup. LG has some pretty good hardware but OS updates takes forever. Ask the Optimus 2X who got official Gingerbread just last December. If they can out OS updates faster than the competition it sure is a selling point.
