Is it an app? I don't know what it is, but I hear about it and see screenshots of those cards, but it's not on my Nexus 4 as best I can tell. What do?

Swipe up from the lockscreen. Swipe up from the home button. Tap the Google search bar on the home screen. Open the Google app.
All will get you there.

In a nutshell, it's a replacement for the old search bar app.

Thanks guys, I'm silly.

Yes. Yes you are.

Google Now results in a lot of wakelock from Google Maps, as it constantly monitors your location. Wakelock plus GPS usage. A battery drain for sure.

Adding Apps to Multi-view Window

In the side bar for the multi-view window, is there a way to add other apps in addition to the ones that are automatically populated?

sure there is an app in the play store that allows pretty much anything to be used in multi view.
don't have my phone at the moment so you'll have to search.

Thanks! Found Samsung Multi Window Manager and it works well.

I think that specific app has to have the feature built in

curious what some good uses for multiview are. I love the idea but I'm so used to switching apps the old way that I don't use it much.

[APPs] SmartQ Z-Watch Functional Apps

***UPDATE 6/26/2014*** Due to some hacking and someone not playing nice...i have shut down the XDA FTP for the Z-watch.
For those that played by the rules, thank you...i had a lot of fun testing and sharing all of out efforts in pushing the Z to its potential and beyond. After testing a gaggle of new wearables, I have to say that the SmartQ's Z was one of my favorites.
Heres a list of apps that i have tested and do work on the z-watch...some with screen issues, but are totally functional.

Ive added a few apps to the ftp today...including the Omate watchfaces. Ive also added a good ftp client, dropbox, Audible (works), AOSP Browser,
small footprint apk mgr, airdroid, and a few others that are functional on the watch.

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

U may extract it from official firmware (update.zip) with any archiver.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99¢ is hard to find due to the holidays.

GravityBox...

Gravitybox explicitly states to NOT use with Touchwiz based ROM's.
Have you tried it with good results?

I use GravityBox for a few mods, I used to use it on my S3, and now I am using it on my S5...
I have always had TouchWiz on both.

That's all the motivation I need to give it a try, thank you so much. Some mods make me nervous lol.

Mods seem similar to Wanam however on that the track skip didn't work. I'll have to play around with GB and see if those work.

Display Mirroring Smartphone to FireTV

Hi together,
is there any app or possibility to use a display mirroring app/standard (like miracast) to share the smartphone screen on the fire tv? I am using a LG G3 with stock rom and it supports miracast. Until now i haven't found any solution, only a youtube video without explanations.

AllCast doesn't actually mirror, it just sends certain content from the phone to the device. That said its the closest thing I have found so far.

This app is for Iphone (ios) not Android as far as I can tell. We are looking for something that works for mirroring from an Android phone.

Read the last few pages of the tgread I posted. You need to go to waxrains website and download thier sender app. Just read the thread its all there.

It does actually. You need to find the beta mirror apk that koush released several months ago. I had it working awhile back.
Edit - file name is Mirror_1.0.1.7.apk if it helps.

Didn't work with an Xperia Z2 or a One+ One. The options to mirror are grayed out unfortunately. I think I'll e-mail the app developer and see what he has to say.

Apk file attached. Moderators please remove this if necessary.
Make sure to install allcast on the firetv. It will add an option I think in the system settings to mirror to the TV.

So install mirror on the phone?

No problem. Just checked on my tablet too where I know it was working a month or so ago (nothing had changed on my tablet) and it's not working either. I wonder if the beta file had an expiration date. I think koush has done that in the past with some of his releases.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Didn't work for me either. Just crashed back to the home screen on my One+ One and my Xperia Z2. I don't have either of them rooted yet so that might be the issue, or there could have been a timer in the beta as mentioned. With the airplay/dlna app for the Fire TV the developer got back to me and said the phone needs to be rooted to enable mirroring for his androidsender apk to work so I will try rooting my One+ and see how that goes. He did mention the feature is very experimental at this stage.
