[Q] How do we get Google's TTS - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung's TTS is awful, sounds like a robot. The Galaxy Note 2 had Google's TTS and it sounded like an actual human being (Hawking not included).
Any way to get Google's TTS

Yes. Freeze Samsung TTS and it defaults to Google.

Touchwiz doesn't support auto rotation (some do but not ics or jb)
There is an app in the market, can't think of its name but it will force the launcher to rotate, however it can make widgets look awful and unsized.
If i find the app ill link it, in the meantime just Google for it.

"Okay Google" Moto X-Style

Would love to be able to do this with the HTC One.
Found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398146)
...but it appears to have disappeared, and no APK yet.
Anybody have a lead on how we might go about this or if it's even feasible? (or if it's already been done and my search skills have failed me?)
Probably would be cool

The Dev has a G+ feed for it, he doesn't know why Google removed it from the market yet. But its pretty easy to install amazon app store and install it.

Action Memo Icon

Dear all,
We got Note 3. And I can call out Action memo by pen. However, what about if I want to have an icon on desktop and just call it out using hand without using pen? Can I do that?
Thanks.
Download a launcher and add the shortcut.
Just put the action memo widget on one of your screens.

Yes there is an app Called I font that works. It installs the fonts in your current font folder and works just like stock fonts.

[Q] Malware infestation

For the last couple days every time I unlock my phone I am greeted with "Obamacare has begun - Get quotes".
How do I find out which program is doing that and how do I get rid of it.
Stock ROM (not rooted).
Default Samsung Launcher.
Lookout found nothing.
maybe try lookout not sure????
Sounds like aware. There are as in the play store that will find what app is causing it.

I want to make sure I can get rid of it and leave a scathing 0 star review and report it to google.
Look up Airpush Finder.

Airpush Detector found 6 apps. 2 with Applovin' (Raging Thunder 2...) and 4 with Airpush (Police Scanner and others).
I hope that once I uninstall all those rogue programs I won't have this problem any more.
Thank you very much.
I suggest rooting and installing FDroid. Google will help you there. After that, look for an app in FDroid called Adaway.

Here is the link for adaway. You could also try malwarebytes
I didn't link to an external source as I trust FDroid...
