S-Finder doesn't show in app list

[Ville Viitaharju]

On Samsung Galaxy Note 3, there is no S-finder app on app list. 

I tested few apps and seems that only one that shows s-finder (what i've tested) were minimial text and mini tasker.

Reason why i would like to see this in application condition is to open google now whenever s-finder opens.

Did you try the All button in the app context ?

You can also possibly use the %WIN variable (see variables in userguide).

Yes, i did use all applications button

Thanks for %WIN tip, works almost perfectly :P (can't kill s finder) 

But now I can use Google now from menu key :3

Found a problem with this:

You need to enable tasker service from accesbility menu. If you do this, you will lose function of one handed mode (windowed screen)

It must be an activity that hasn't registered to be in the launcher then, Tasker
doesn't show those because they often just crash if launched separately
(OK, and because I didn't get round to it yet).

If you can find the package and class names of the activity, you can use
Send Intent (target Activity) with action android.intent.action.MAIN.

Can you explain this a little (example would be nice)?
S Finder manifest file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3556104/Tiedostot/temp/com.samsung.android.app.galaxyfinder.txt

So how I can start Google now when S finder opens? (and preferably kill s finder application)

Can't seems to find good guide for this from the internet via Send Intent.

Download this app

Go to the apps tab find S Finder tap it and all the info you need for the send intent should be there.

Doesn't solve the problem "So how I can start Google now when S finder opens?"

I can open S finder via send intent task, but that is no use if i cannot use that as profile trigger

It wasn't supposed to solve the problem it was supposed to be an easy way to find the package and class names.

Are you sure that is REALLY the case? I saw an article today that said whenever you enable another app with accessibility services (in the case of that article it was a Pebble App), the Note would throw up a message and disable several of the the ROM specific options. However the article said that you could go in and turn those features back on and not have a problem. I guess it's some stupid fail safe that samsung put in on the Note.  But it's a false failure and in the case of the pebble didn't interfere with any of them.

You can re-enable the TouchWiz specific features after enabling the accessibility options for other apps, this applies to any recent TouchWiz device. But it also enables TalkBack for settings, stock browser and the gallery with no way to override TalkBack in those apps (at least on my S4 and I know other TouchWiz devices have the same problem). I just have a Tasker profile set to change the media volume to 0 when in those apps.
