I'm guessing you just signed up for beta? We've had it since 7.1.2 was released. It's okay but I don't really use it since it phone isn't exactly huge.

It's a simple but useful feature and I'm pleased that now we can use it on our device (After we show it working on Google Pixel).

I always managed to trigger it accidentally, pulling down the notification shade trying to change songs or something

4.3 Roms and Tablet UI

For those of you that have played with some of the new 4.3 ROMs have you seen any with tablet UI functionality?
Have any 4.3 roms even been released? I thought they were still working on everything
Waiting on PA personally

No, but one of them has expanded desktop, if you're interested, which works great with gmd gesture control. It's ratcav's rom.

How do you activate expanded desktop? I am running ratcav's rom but couldn't figure it out. Thanks.

PA is out so I'm going to give that a try. Might wait a few builds as the first one has usually has a few bugs to work out. Running pure stock right now just so I can say I tried it.
Wondering if anyone has found a ROM yet with tabletUI?

Full 4.4 KitKat experience

Hi there,
I recently purchased my nexus 7. I used to have an XDA account from years ago.
Basically, tonight I installed the AOSP ROM released for the nexus 7 on rootzwiki forums and I found that it had the normal launcher so it seemed like a jelly bean ROM with a white theme to it. Since then I discovered I was able to download and install Google Home and that enabled me to use the new UI with the transparent status bar and nav bar. So far I like it a lot. Its quite stable with a few bugs and it will get better.
And a video on YouTube of the ROM

Partially working Gapps http://d-h.st/EIM
I would add screenshots but the xda app doesn't let me

The keyboard comes out when going to home
The keyboard comes out when going to home. Do you know how to disable it? As it's annoying.

Nope, haven't been able to find out how to either. And for me landscape mode messes up icon labels for me

I believe it's the launcher. As you can see, the Search Bar is out of place too, I have the Google Experience launcher on my n4, and it doesn't look like that. I believe this launcher wasn't N7.2 ready.

Looks like another Google security feature is in the roll out stage.
Yay?

It won't be with play services, rather the Google app itself.
I wonder how this would compare legally to fingerprint/pin lock in regards to being compelled to unlock your device.

Don't think it would be any different than the other "trusted" options like face, location, and on-body. They are just smart compliments to backup pin/pattern locks.
Has anyone here received this update yet? I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival or been searching for an APK download. Looking forward to trying it out.
installed the latest, and it seemed to disable all security options... i would hold off

its probably not available for the nexus 6 because we have ok google with the screen off and not plugged in. thats my guess at least.
How do we enable that? Mine only works when screen is on and at desktop

Go to your Google now screen, click the hamburger menu button, click settings. Click voice, then "OK Google" detection. Then tick the always on setting.

im running terminus. but the stock options are just like the ones i posted. either euphoria is missing some files/code, or you somehow are. find out if other euphoria users have ok google working with the screen off and unplugged. if its just euphoria, now a days its easily fixable.

it would have to be fixed/enabled in the rom. but you might have a temporary solution, if it still works. i started a thread last year about this, and not working on aosp roms. until we finally found a solution to it(just some missing files in aosp source). check out the thread, yes its old now, but you might find a temporary solurion in there that will work for you. and please ask, thats the only way we will find out if its the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716

Disabling the Highlight Reel feature in the Moto Gallery

Hey all,
Just curious if anyone knows how to get rid of the highlight reel feature in the Moto gallery. I hate it and the annoying notification about my 80s-techno videos of my huge |×?¶`¶ being ready to watch is frustrating. Does anyone know of a way to disable this feature?
Currently I've circumvented it by using a different gallery app - Piktures. Just thought I'd ask in case anyone had the answer.
Thanks all,
--Mike

Yeah I have in the last but not in a little while. I'm hoping that was a fluke but if not I'll just disable notifications for the gallery app.

Dirty unicorns vs pure Nexus

I tried a fresh install of Pure Nexus and removed root and still couldn't get Android Pay to work. What did you do to get it to work?

Probably this. Make sure you flash the FiFix dialer if you haven't already (you don't have to root if you don't want to).

Oh, do you have to flash the FiFix Dialer? I don't use Google Fi (damn Sprint and T-Mobile for having no coverage here), so I never flashed it.

It is really just the Google dialer but for some reason, it is now necessary for Android Pay to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks. Worked like a charm, and my bank finally added support for Android Pay, so glad I finally got it working.
Please help
I just bought a 6p and the seller didn't tell me it was rooted. Everytime I press the home button it doesn't go home same with recent apps. Also the notification bar doesn't drop down when I swipe. Please help or please tell me the best way to get back to stock.

Time to do some research. It's very simple to return to stock and get the bootloader locked. Just read read and read some more
