Around 3 weeks ago,Samsung launched its current flagship smartphone "Galaxy S III" which is being hailed by many as the fastest smartphone money can buy at present.The launch showcased many of the embedded software features coming with the S III,be it the "Smart Stay" feature,the SIRI competitor "S Voice" and the much hyped news reading iOS app "Flipboard." Even before the smartphone could be launched,some geeky friends at xda leaked almost everything on board for people to run on their existing Android smartphone including the Flipboard app which was supposed to be exclusive to the S III before it would be launched for all Android devices.This article is a collection of everything from the S III which people have been able to get working on other Android devices.

The "S Voice"
If you are an avid reader/an iFan,then you must have heard of something called Siri.You guessed it right,it is the much advertised Voice controlled personal assistant and S Voice is Samsung's quite late response to it.It has its own flaws though,and you gotta need a bit of luck to get it running on your device.

Installation instructions (credits to elimedina2000)
- Download ZIP file here or from below and copy the extracted folder to your sd card.
- It has 2 files in it named Voicetalk.apk and libsvoxtts.so
- Copy voicetalk.apk to /sytem/app using root explorer.
- Long click on it and select permissions (You need to mount r/w for this) and change the permissions to rw-r--r--,which means the box named read and write in the owner row needs to be ticked while only read box of the next two rows should be ticked.(Attaching a screenshot showing the same)
- Copy libsvoxtts.so to /system/lib.
- Reboot and have fun :)
