Hi mate,
Just click on month name Which is at top left corner of the default calender app and select view as month
Next time when you open it default view will be as per month

Hi all, I have a question related to calendar.
Calender notifications are skipped if phone is turned off. I have a Nexus 5, stock rooted Android v. 4.4.2
Is there anyway to prevent the turned off phone from skipping calendar notifications?
This was not a problem on Android v2.3
Thanks for your help!

Mail widget

Hi, for some odd reason when you add the stock mail widget and select just inbox, you can only select a sub folder?!? Worked fine on 4.3 and below. I have it on my home screen usually to see new email, but now I cannot select inbox, only my sub folders under it!! Anyone else have same issue? May only be if you have sub folders under inbox?

I have exactly this problem on an IMAP account. Haven't found a workround yet.
I had it on my exchange account and got around it by moving the folder out of the inbox, setting up the widget, then putting it back again.

Cannot "share" from Chrome (apart from gmail anyway)

Hi there. When viewing a website in Chrome, if I click "settings" (three dots in the top right corner) then "share", it goes straight into a new email in Gmail.
Previously I am sure it used to give me some share options like twitter, hangouts etc.
Any suggestions? I've tried deleting the defaults from app settings for both Chrome and Gmail but it makes nowdifference!!
Thanks in advance
Jonny
Bump. Anyone else getting this problem?

exact same thing here. I experienced the same issue also with Google Keep and YouTube apps, while sharing an address with Google Maps or a photo via the Photos app works perfectly fine.
no root, no custom roms.
Thanks everyone.
I just deleted all gmail data and deactivated. Then the share menu options in chrome appeared again.
However as soon as I reactivated gmail, chrome went back to defaulting to gmail as its share option.
What the hell??!

I've also tried to revert back everything to default, yet it didn't work. it looks like gmail took over as default sharing option for chrome and YouTube. :\

I'm certain this wasn't the case a couple of weeks ago?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I cannot point out if this happened after a chrome update or after I played around with the settings: I've had the N5 for about a week now, and I'm positive that the first couple of days everything worked just fine.

For the record the same behaviour is in chrome beta...

update: I'm experiencing the issue also when trying to share something from the tumblr app.
the mystery continues...
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
Been having this issue too in
Chrome
Tumblr
YouTube
And it's getting on my nerves. There are no defaults set for any of these apps, and the only way I can "fix" it is by disabling Gmail. If anyone else has any advice, please share.
I'd like to know if a full factory reset fixes this. (Although don't want to do it myself!)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I've been playing around with other Android smartphones and seems that this behaviour is because gmail is the default app for sharing using a particular sharing instance, which is the one used in chrome, tumblr, youtube, etc..
I sincerly hope that a factory reset isn't the only choice here.
any news?

Got this from the Google Product Forums...
OK we've identified an issue in Android 4.4 that can cause this problem, which we're investigating a fix for.
As a workaround you should be able to go to Settings > Apps > menu > Reset app preferences to fix this, but note that this will clear all of your stored app preferences (basically every time you've ever had an app launch to complete a task and it's offered to do it Always or Just once -- your device will forget all of those choices you've made in the past and you'll get to make them again).

After updates, some App icons disappear

Hi everyone,
I'm fully stock on my nexus 5, but I have noticed a strange bug happening within GEL. After updating some apps, icon shortcuts disappear. This has happened when I've updated the following apps:
Greader pro
Root explorer
WhatsApp
Does anyone know what's going on? I've also seen the issue on my nexus 7 with greader pro.
Anybody else experiencing the same issue?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes this happens to me with several apps, main one I notice is reddit news because it keeps getting updated, very annoying.
I had it happen if I joined a beta and it removed the original icon. Just have to add it again
I noticed this. Then after reboot they would reappear on a new screen.

HaloShortcuts
Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by @MainstreamStereotype that is similar to this one. :silly:
His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.
Please check his out also :good:
What?
A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.
It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.
For?
For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.
Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.
(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )
Downloads?
In Attachments. (Dates are in DDMMYY)
Backup Downloads from Google Drive
Open-source!
This module is open-source! Sources are found on my GitHub.
If you would like to help in the development, you may leave bug reports and development tips in this thread or (better still) fork and send pull requests
Screenshots?

This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app

Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!
I hope the thanks received from zst123 means this request has been added to some to do list out there?
edit : oh man, another thanks. Don't tease me...SAY SOMETHING! Or should I keep posting to accumulate thanks?
how to check intent flag?
works great in s3 omega rom when using it as a launcher icon, or through glovebox.. BUT if you want to use LMT launcher that doesnt support system shortcuts but support tasker... launching tasker task--> autoshortcut plugin --> haloshortcut... doesnt work.. the app opens in fullscreen
Hey guys,
I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.
I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476
A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+
https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj
where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...
Great app

Works great on omnirom 4.4.2 for Nexus 10 (Tempest ROM omni-4.4-20131218-manta-TEMPEST )
It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?

It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check?

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)

How to view apps running in background on Marshmallow

Hey guys. In Lollipop there used to be a section under apps in the settings where you could see what all was currently running in the background. It looks like in Marshmallow this feature has been removed or moved to a different location in the settings. Does anyone know where it moved to and how to find this in the settings?

Check out Settings > Developer Options > Running Services.
Is that what you're looking for?
Hey beekay thank you so much. That's exactly what I was looking for
