All of the Google apps use it if I'm remembering correctly, and the battery widget app seems to use it as well. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else...

Does anyone know if this is confirmed? I got the OTA update via clearing the Google framework trick. After upgrading to 4.1 I have found that I don't get expandable notifications with emails that I receive on Gmail.
Edit: Nevermind. I got the expanded preview to work by dragging 2 fingers over the email notification.

Tunein Radio has it.

Haxsync and KitKat

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..

Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.

Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

Been using haxsync for a week now on my N5 & no battery drain/wakelocks according to bbs from haxsync so its ok to use.

I have not as the Dev put in the description that it's only needed for 4.1. Calendar and contacts are syncing just fine without it.

Uhm I installed it, but the pictures seems to be all in low resolution.. It's because this Nexus is bigger then the previous?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

On 4.4.2 haxsync doesnt work anymore at least for me
are there any alternatives?

I don't find HaxSync on Play Store, on both Play Store app (on Nexus 5) and Play Store web

There's a playstore fix in xposed installer. This may fix your problem

he removed it from play store because it is atm not whitelisted through facebook more infos on Facebook page

I was unable to find HaxSync on play store, so I searched through Google and clicked the link, works flawlessly.

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.

I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

Try ART

First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...

What is Art?

Basically, it is supposed to allow apps to start faster, run smoother and improve battery. Here's an in depth explanation

After going to art the phone showed the unlocked icon on boot and custom rom....

Yea maybe kitkat he means.

No literally it looked like a flash counter notification stating modified... not sure of it unlocked the bootloader or not as I'll let someone else make that brick in error... it had a lock which showed unlocked though.

You can try what others did.

Its gone when switch back

Mine does this as well. I can't believe Samsung marks the device if you run ART. A stock feature of Android.

Yeah, that's kinda crappy. Good thing TW was toned down so much I don't see any reasons for flashing yet.

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I like TW now. Using Google Launcher and it's very close to stock.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.

[REQ] Motorola Assist App Apk

I am fascinated by that recent updates of this app. I know Tasker can do a lot of the things that it does but I'm still interested in trying it. I found the apk on that moto G thread but I couldn't get it to work on nexus 5. Does anyone know a work around to use this app on nexus 5?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I too am very interested in this app. My guess is that it ties into the framework + maybe some other apks. My Google-fu has found nothing on the status of a port.

Short answer: nope

This is what you need in order to cast any screen from your phone even if the phone has a screen mirror option, your tv needs a receiver to do so even a smart tv needs it

Here's where I was getting my info from... http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/0...now-works-for-screen-mirroring-to-chromecast/

There is an app that unlocks Mirroring on the Chromecast for all devices. Unfortunately, even though it is unlocked it doesn't always work. For the S3, it works fine on Touchwiz based ROMS but not on AOSP. The developer is still trying to figure out why it isn't working on all devices/ROMS.
