Long press voice search and SoundHound - HTC Amaze 4G

Yo, recently got a new HTC Amaze handset and am trying to figure out how to set long press search to launch SoundHound. My last HTC Amaze automatically made SoundHound a quicklaunch option but can't seem to get this working on my new device.
Thanks!

They probably removed the option like many other options in the ICS update.

I can confirm longpressing search can pull up soundhound among other things.. when you longpress it currently, what happens? Were you using gingerbread last time it works, and are you on stock ICS now?
I have no idea if it worked when I was on stock, I have been using custom roms like energy rom for a long time now.. once definite difference between stock and most roms, we don't have an area in system settings to change app associations like there was on stock- this might be because they removed the APK that deals with app associations.
Or are you using soundhound free or paid? I am on paid, and maybe they made that a paid feature?(I bought when it was 10 cents on the market, lol)

Thanxx. :thumbup:

Hey thanxx. :thumbup:
I was on carrier's official ota installed version of ICS before when it still worked.
Currently I'm on free, but maybe should u/g to see if it will start working again. I was going to u/g anyway.

Sorry, I was so distracted by the random girl toes by your post.. what is u/g? And upon thinking about it, the long press of search is one of the few features they might add with the paid version, I'm pretty sure free was mostly functional, but I don't think that would be included on the free version..
And I see you only have three posts, so I'm assuming you are somewhat new to the amaze- if so, welcome to the amaze forums

Okay so something cool happened...
My SoundHound JUST started coming up in the sound search! The only thing different about my phone now is that I installed Handcen SMS...I tried to do a voice search on Google today and noticed that Handcent, QR Code Reader, and SoundHound all showed up along with Voice Search for once.
I'm pretty sure there's no rhyme or reason to this, but now it seems to be working fine and I didn't have to u/g to get it working either...but prob still will anyhoo...

Sweet thanks man. It looks pretty good, definitely more flashy. I just hopes it also performs better. I get some FC from time to time
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I won't get that weird "downloading (paused)" funk anymore.
VERY NICE! thanks for this!
This is really nice. just downloaded it from applanet
Maybe it's because I'm not used to it yet, but I don't like it. Looks way too cluttered to me, and the previous version seemed much more streamlined. All they needed to fix was the backend of it (i.e. stop FCs).
The current market has never given me any problems but I think I'm still going to check this update out. Thanx

You just install it and it replaces the old one

Samsung's "S Voice" works with the Evo3d on ICS

I just installed the "S Voice" that comes with the new SGS3 and it works. I found this out from this THREAD and this THREAD. It is ok and looks to work good with our device if you are running an ICS Rom. I am currently on MeanRom ICS v1.0 and it works good. Enjoy
Edit: One that should work after they tried and block us lol.

Just think of it as (dare I say it) Siri. It's pretty simple and easy to use.
Click the bottom-right if you need more help or go into the settings. If I were you, I'd turn of the 'Hi Galaxy' wakeup since it's pointless having to say that every time I want to use it.
Thanks op.

Just remember that this is just the first version release of this app and it should be probably will be updated numerous times to work out all the bugs once the SGS3 is released.

tried it. it works but it's very laggy. From the moment I said "Call home" to the moment the phone actually started dialling, I had to wait about 40 seconds. A bit too long to actually make it useful.
Thanks for sharing though. Probably it will improve with time
Double tap home didn't work for me, but maybe due to sense? Couldn't get it working on AOSP ICS on Desire either though.
Trying to change wake up fc it and had to clear app data to get it working again.
It works. But as said its a bit slow to actually do the task.. tested with sms and web search

HTC Premium Navigation flashable?

Hello, I recently came here from the Droid Incredible forum. One of the roms I used to run had a sort of premium navigation called Laputa. What's interesting about it is that there is an option to download maps and use them offline, along with a kick ass integration with sense. So I was wondering if there would be any way to flash this on Cleanrom ICS?

Can you link to a Rom from the dinc that had this feature?
That was forever ago... I'm thinking maybe uberZ not the original but the one from Joel it might have been a sense 2.0 rom also. I can try to dig something up and I'll post back if I get results.
EDIT: Uggg that forum is a grave yard. I think this rom might have had it. It even has car home in the screenshot. KINgDoM REwInD 3D
The reason many devs don't inclue htc's car home is because they consider it bloat.

Multi-questions

Let me first say :glad to be back (3-4 years back had a nokia with symbian that with the help of this forum i did minor modifications to)on the forum and out of the clutches of apple(3-4 days ago traded iphone 4 32gb for LGOG)
Now first question: I've rooted my phone attempting to remove any and all bloatware, however I can't seem to remove it?
Second question: in regards to cases what's the differences between att and sprint LGOG's?
Third question: how do I sent picture messages? Seems like a dumb question but every time I try to do so the message says something like "picture too big ,compressing" now normally that's fine it compresses the picture I send and its good however when I get said message the text I had started to send to whomever is gone and I'm back at the message as if I never started it?
Fourth question: how do I send a multiple contact message?
Finally : since this was a multiple question post, I did search , did read, tried everything I could think of to avoid asking a repeated-a-million-times-question , sorry if I did and sorry if I put in wrong part of forum
Thank you sincerely

After you root, before you delete/disable/uninstall any apps. Do the Freegee bl unlock. Otherwise you will get bl security errors and bootloops.

Nope, you have to pay for it in the app store.
Or you can search and take a look in the other section (like the development section). I could be wrong, I dunno.

install titanium backup ROOT , delete any apps you do not want, really I just deleted most of the at&t stuff or stuff that requires you to purchase other things. one app that is worth its money is root explorer, sounds like you are new to android, one helpful tip to you is when you do buy these things in the play store you will always have it as long as you remember your google account, get a new device bam, still have the apps you purchased.
Yes I'm extremely new to droid as a whole
Let alone rooting and other info
Been trying to avoid posting a millions questions that could be avoided with a couple searches, I'm coming from iphone .
Iphones are insanely simple compared to droid ,however with the right tweaks droid can prevail for sure.

I phones seem simple because they don't have any of the customizations that android does. So, I guess iPhone is simple and not in a good way.
Also, "droid" is more commonly used to refer to the phone model by Motorola. We generally use the term android when speaking of the OS in broader terms. But more commonly we use the specific term for the version of Android or ROM that we're speaking of at the moment, Jelly Bean, AOSP, stock, for example. You'll get the hang of it. :thumbup:

Download the free Freegee App from the play store.
Run the app. Backup EFS. Click unlock Bootloader.
Boot into Fast Boot, then CWM or TWRP (depending what recovery you chose when using Freegee)
Make a backup.
Reboot phone and get an app called Titanium Backup (paid version has more options)
Using Titanium Backup you can uninstall bloatware or freeze them if you have the paid version (this is easiest and safest I believe)
OR you can use Root Explorer or a similar root file manager to manually delete each apk
Be careful what you delete. There is a post here listing what apps can safely be removed without messing up your phone.
Read twice, click once. Good luck

I would also have to say to the new guys...dont get all wound up on installing a new rom, trust me I have upgraded lots of roms from backflip,atrix,htc inspire but all those needed it. I have to say the original rom that comes on these LG's is pretty good, unless it doesnt do what you need it to I wouldnt worry about a new rom. root it so you can delete some of the bloat.
100% agreed. Amazing Rom for stock. I did the same thing and I'm loving it

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.
