I have 4 problems with CM9 alpha 4.
1.I can't move/organize any of my apps around in the app drawer.
2.I can't setup up the face unlock, I tried but it just doesn't work
3. Every time I download a new app it makes a shortcut on the home screen.
4.The clock app always force closes.

1. Get a different launcher, google nova launcher I think it has that ability.
2. You need to be in a clear place with plenty of light for facelock to configure and needs to be there for a good amount of time.
3. Go into the market go into settings and uncheck auto add widgets.

Thank you so much, but I already tested Nova Launcher, and I still cant edit my apps in the drawer.

It also helps to read the CM9 threads like the Tip Sharing thread in General if you don't want to wade through all the posts in the Development thread. The market tip was one of the first ones posted.

golauncher ex will allow you to organize and even hide apps. it will use a little more battery to also have it running, but its worth it IMO

I used to use it, but on cm9 it just "takes away" the feeling of having ICS.

Is anyone else having problems sending MMS I use Hancent...but none of my pictures ever go through?

My MMS works fine, even over wifi, with the stock application and with handcent.

When I first flashed this rom I was having the same problem with mms. I only could send them with the wifi turned off but for some reason it's working fine now.

What face unlock? Sounds nice! What's the name for the app?

Any of you have Exchange email sync issues? Mine syncs for a day then stops and I get "Connection Errors"

Google NOW (working on SGSIII)

I saw this on Engadget and tried it out on my AT&T SGSIII running Kyan ROM and it worked. Thought I would link the forum here so everyone could see it. Its not mine, just sharing the "now goodness".

Second FYI, after you flash it just simply hold the menu button and it will bring it up. Worked perfectly for me.

Figured it out. If you want it to listen what you say, you need to say "Google" first and then whatever you want to do like "note to self"

My mom just got the SGSIII yesterday and wanted Google Now. Glad to see this works.

for anyone interested in replacing the "voice dial" with google now voice search follow these instructions:
1.)Go into S-voice settings and uncheck the option "Launch S-Voice"
2.)Download a free app from the market called "home2 shortcut" (or link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut)
3.)Set the double tap home option (Home> Home) to launch "Voice Search" from installed applications. (make sure it displays a blue microphone when you do this)
4.)Continue with the instructions for the app and close the app.
5.)Test it out, if it doesn't launch directly into the voice search after doing the double home then follow the next few steps, if it does then skip to step 8.
6.)Open the Google Now app (it will be listed as "Google" in your app drawer)
7.)Press menu>refresh.
8.)Reboot
9.)Enjoy having Google Now on your Ice cream sandwich Samsung Galaxy S3!

Anyone have the Anycut prl APK?

It's no longer available in the play store. Does anyone have the apk that I can download?

That link installed a version of any cut that keeps crashing. I have a Verizon galaxy s3 rooted worth stock jelly bean. Is there an updated version? Is the app device, or ROM specific?

Here is the playstore version. It also crashes on mine.

The Google play one says not found even in browser. The one from Tewlman's dropbox says the same as the others; after I click "Activity" The app crashed with "unfortunately anycut has stopped"

Try clearing app data and cache via app manager, then uninstall, boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, reboot and reinstall.

That didn't work. I used ROM manager to clear the caches after I uninstalled the app. It had no data to delete before I uninstalled. Am I the only one with this issue? Are there any good alternative apps?

There is no newer version and it crashes on jellybean if you run it from the app shortcut. It will work if you drag a widget from the widget tray to a homescreen.

It isn't listed as an available widget when I long possessed the home screen. See the attached. I also tried am app shortcut on the home screen which ended with the same error

This is what I see when I open the widget drawer (or long press on the home screen and select add widget)

Try with a long press to (touchwiz) home screen, after select "apps and widgets", find it in the widget list and drag it to home screen. This is the only way I can use it without crash. I use it on SGS3 mini with stock JB 4.1.1

I just tried. it crashes right after I select "Activity" I also use Go Launcher, but for the purpose of your test, I switched back to Touchwiz.

Here is the one I use. I have used it on stock and custom ROMs. You have to use a home launcher that supports shortcuts, like Apex or ADW. Just long press on a home screen and when you get a popup select shortcut then select Anycut. Then select activity and scroll through the list. There are some that will force close, but I have found that a lot of the system shortcuts do work.

I uninstalled anycut and installed the one you attached. I tried the shortcut with Go Launcher and also Touchwiz. Both have the same result...after clicking "Activity" it says "Unfortunately Anycut had stopped working"

I use it with Apex. I cannot speak to the others as I have not used them. You should also try fixing permissions. Permissions being off can cause FC.

installed this and it looks awesome but search doesn't want to stay fixed after doing the language setting trick. I change the settings and it works great after that but after exiting the app it reverts back with force close. to be honest I'd rather just have the always on okay google search feature with nova prime launcher. the google launcher has little to offer in terms of customization.

I understand. For me the integrated Google now home screen and smooth operation are great. I just set the voice search language to English, Generic. No more force closes.

Long Press Menu Button

Is there a way to change the long press of the menu button to open Google Now instead of S-Finder? Perhaps in the form of a module for Xposed Framework?

I use Nova Prime launcher and it opens Google Now/Search instead of S Finder. Don't know if there's an option somewhere.
