Hey guys, just a little sharing. My Note 3 power drained quickly somehow even when wifi , GPS and bluetooth are turned off.
Today I turned off the account setting, Google+ and location sharing in Google setting, it did save a lot power! Before 100% battery lasted 6 hours only, now it lasts double! Check whether you have disabled the Google location sharing now, it really works!
After doing this, are you still able to use touchwiz weather auto update>?

My GPS and location are off and my TW weather won't auto update, I have to connect to WiFi and manually update it. (I was aware that is how this worked though from my S3 previously)
yeah thats the problem. Manually updating weather is annoying.
You can leave wireless networks ticked in location services and it'll update the weather app for you.

You do not need to be rooted for this...
There's an app on the play store to do exactly this... I use it on my non rooted device without any problem

It will display the number of new messages in minimized mode, and the last received message in expanded mode.
The extension notification is cleared when Google Voice app is entered either by tapping it or by launching the app manually.

There are no configurable options yet. The only "option" you will see is at the setting screen and it directs you to the accessibility settings.

This should not happen. Can you check BBS and see what wakelock is causing it?
Downloaded the extension from the play store, and not getting notified of texts from gv in the dashclock widget. Followed instructions of turning on accessibility. Any ideas??

There might be a conflict with other accessibility services that you have. Try turning off those services and see if that works.
Maybe has something to do with new gv update?

As long as the GV app creates a notification, it will not break the extension. Did you try disabling other accessibility services?
I was hesitant, only because I rely on the other services accessing the option. If it is that, unfortunately the extension will be of no use to me, but I will try. Also, it may be that I do not have the notification option in status bar checked in the Google voice options? I don't have it checked because I don't want it in the status bar as well as the widget. I have another app, google voice + messaging, and it does not require this. I will give your suggestion a whirl. Thanks.

The reason I suggest turning off other services is solely for debugging purposes. If two accessibility services monitor the same events, only one of them will actually receive it, depending on which service is registered with the system first.
And yes (I'm 95%+ sure), you need notification for GV on for the extension to have something to monitor on. Blame all these on a lack of GV api from Google

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

Here bro. This is the apk I have. I uploaded it for you. I tried the newer one and the older one seems to work better for me. Not sure why. Give it a go and let me know.
http://www.4shared.com/mobile/Nb9SexZZ/OpenMicAmazon.html
So in the latest update, you will get "ok google" while in the google search app.
With this launcher, it gets even better, you install it, and you can use "ok google" right from the home screen.
To make it work, just install the latest google search from play store, then download and install this apk:

awesome, thanks!
Thanks for this! Came from the GNex and missed this launcher from the Kit Kat ROMs. Loved being able to voice activate Google Now from the home screen and swiping to access Google Now. Only thing that doesn't work it with this launcher is Knock Knock to turn the screen off (Knock On works). I created a workaround with Tasker where if I shake the phone left or right, it turns off the screen. Almost like having Kit Kat
very good, thank you

I found a pretty good workaround for that. If you have G2 exposed installed (requires exposed framework, needs root) you can map the 'long press' for any button to lock screen. Just holding whichever button is easiest to reach to lock works nicely. I wish the google experience launcher would support gestures, as we can always download the free 'screen off and lock' app and map a gesture to that too like I do in Nova launcher.
Both this KK Home launcher and Nova can utilize the "Knock Off" feature by simply double-tapping a blank area on the notification bar. This is the default behavior and no setup is required to invoke.
Thanks for making this available, OP!

Thanks! Did not know that. I can use that with the phone laying down. Unfortunately, my hands aren't big enough to reach the notification bar during one handed operation, so the Tasker workaround works better for me in that situation.

I haven't rooted yet. Maybe I'll try it if I do, but haven't really had the urge to do so. Came from a GNex where I crack flashed constantly, but ended up using a stock ROM when I discovered Tasker.

Anyone else getting a high mediaserver wakelock with this launcher? I'm assuming it's because of the always listening Google Now on the homescreens. Mediaserver was using at least 15% of the battery on this launcher. Switched to Nova and mediaserver is down to 1%.

Has anyone tried this on the ATT version?
I did everything you said but when I get here to say "OK Google 3 times it wont listen to the first one.
With it force activated via language change etc, the camera will not record video, saying 'unable to record video while in call'. Untick the option for every screen listening and the camera is able to record once again.
So seems like it always listening makes the camera think it is permanently in a phone call. Annoying.
Sorry if it's mentioned already.
Make sure to disable LG "On Screen Phone" if you use it That's what stopped it working on my G2 (International)
