Google now not working

It won't work no matter what I do. I don't even get the Google now screen. I've tried deleting data/cache. I've tried deleting my Google account and adding it again n still nothing. What can I do? I'm 100% stock.

Did you enable Google now when you first started your nexus?

What do you mean by 'not work'? Do you see the google search bar at the top of your Nexus? What happens if you press it? Can you swipe from the bottom of your Nexus upwards to bring up the Now shortcut?
I guess the brute force fix is a factory reset, not ideal but would surely work.

Try clearing caches maybe, or in a last-resort situation, factory reset?

Did you try rebooting?
Is there a button on the bottom that says "show more cards"?

Strange. If you're rooted, download and flash gapps (google apps) see if that sorts it.

Are you on eclipse rom by any chance? I just read over at rootzwiki that there are some issues with google now on the eclipses rom. Not totaly sure what issues they are.

Go to the play store and download google search. If you root, you can uninstall google search (and reinstall).

I'm not rooted. I'm 100% stock.

Good point. I still use widget locker though because it lets you have more than one widget on the screen, like in OP's post. I can't see any way to do that with the native lock screen.

Dashclock is so cool but it doesn't work on the S4 if you want to use a pin or pattern lock as well.

That's Samsung mistake, block lockscreen widgets when you have a security lock.

That or just a bug/feature (what's the difference?) with the lockscreen andb play music
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

I get this too, and it's not missing album art, the album art only takes up a small chunk at the top of the screen. His picture just happens to be of a song with missing album art.

I was viewing it in the bright sunlight and didn't see the missing album art place holder. I'd imagine it's a feature then to accentuate the player.

This is a feature on ICS+. Moto disabled it for blur.

It was never like this before on stock or Eclipse. I assume it's something to do with this ROM.

I do not believe there is any way to disable it.
Try using a music player that overrides the lockscreen (such as Winamp)

Secure Folder is awesome!

So I haven't heard much about the "Secure Folder" feature. I decided to play around with it a little bit and found some cool features I wasn't aware of.
You can have 1 app install twice with two separate user accounts. IE if you wanted two reddit accounts one that is work safe and one that isn't. Every attachment downloaded while in the secure folder container, will be kept inside the secure folder. It also lets you set notification options for apps inside the folder.

It's awesome. Had a hard time figuring it out. Apps I added in the secure folder kept showing up in the secure and app drawer. So I tried uninstalling the one in the app drawer thinking it would uninstall the app completely but it kept the one in the secure folder. I do wish that it keeps the secure folder locked but you have to lock it after you unlock.

You could probably set it only when reboot. Not exactly what you want, but it night me good enough. The lock button at the top of the folder will lock it

But if your phone craps out, you lose all your files. It already happened to me.

It would be good to auto lock when I close the folder instead of locking it back with the lock button at the top.

I was goofing around and decided to test ultra power saving mode, and the phone wouldn't boot. No way changing it back, I had to factory reset, I guess the same thing would have happened with my note 5, but it would have been nice if the private files were stored on the external SD card.

Good point. It's not stored in the SD card. I've only put apps in it so far so I guess I won't be putting picture or files in there. Thanks

You could set it to relock in 5 min I guess. But yes there should be a lock on close feature.

If only it worked with Root! Smh!

Lux and the v20

Hey all,
The auto-brightness on the v20 is subpar, but that's an easy fix with Lux. The thing is, I don't want to see both the brightness slider as well as Lux's brightness widget in the pull down menu.
Does anyone know how to remove the stock brightness slider from the pull down menu without root?

Go to your notification toggles. Hit "edit" and then the 3 dots on top right. Unchecked brightness.

There are times when you want the original screen brightens slider there. Like When you're watching a movie and you want to turn the brightness up. Turn off lux (sleep) and slide brightness up
