Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
andrej
Google camera is in the play store, the others should be findable, I'll check when I get home for you

Yes! Thanks to both of you
I tried the Google Camera but not surprisingly the LG app takes much better photos. Now if I could just get the Dialer to look less hideous
...I just need a GPE ROM already
Thanks again!

I assume it is working ok? Love the device, and I'm going to try to time with the stock launcher for at least a couple of days, but probably going to this launcher soon.
Thanks.

Works fine so far here. I'm curious about if there will be a difference in battery usage/wakelocks

I'd recommend Swipe Dialer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mb.swipedial.donate
It can look almost stock Android.

Can you use Knock Code with the Google Now launcher? Only had it for a few days, but really like that feature.

Knock off doesn't work with Google Now Launcher, but knock on works and knock code works too

did you try knock off by tapping the top notifications area?

Thanks for posting the suggestion. I'm using nova and thought I lost knock off completely. Still works in the notification area though.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
Just a note...Smart Launcher 2 let's you use knock off (on any phone).
Hi,
I vaguely remember Nexus 5's search box and app drawer has transparent and black background, but for some reason it became white, any ideas? I did root the device when I received it but that's a long time ago and this happened recently. I have also been using it to test some apps, not sure if this is caused by an app or not. Android version is 4.4.4
Thanks

Google Search updated so the majority of devices are all using the same version of Google Search rather than being fragmented.

So white background is normal, and it came from the newly upgraded Google Search app?

I'm pretty sure Google updated the GEL launcher to have the material design look no matter what android version you're on. That's likely where the white app drawer came from.

Ok, thanks, I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong, worried this may be the symptom of a deeper problem.

Oh it's definitely a symptom of a deeper problem. And that problem is that Android is being systematically uglified.

I agree. I don't undestand this new approach to UI design either, especially colours. Its too kitcshy.
Honestly, I never thought ok google would work with screen off for non pixel devices... But it works for OP6.. Just tried it..
This helps in unlocking the phone will driving and directly making calls..
Apologies if you already knew this before but it's kinda new for me.. Just thought of sharing this with anyone who is like me...
Thanks for sharing. Can you share the settings steps for it.

Sure. It's fairly simple
Settings...google...search... Voice... Voice match.. (train assistant with your voice by saying ok google and hey google as per on screen instructions) and that's it..
Lock ur phone and try saying ok google.. It will unlock
Cheers
This is awesome.

Hahaha.. Probable solution would be to use a pair of earphones with mic and whisper.. Okay google..
Thanks ! I never used Google Assistant, but I may try if it is so easy...provided the permanent listening does not eat battery ! By the way, any changes in battery drain when using this feature ?

It's strange for me that this is news because I've been using custom romsnfor so long that had this implementated. It's a good feature
I think the idle drain will be about the higher than without it (this is what I have noticed) but it's not massive so definitely a recent trade off if you like the service. I have a few Google homes and they all pick up my voice but then it knows from which device to reply from based on what's nearest to you.
I've used this mainly for turning on Bluetooth and setting navigation whilst driving. Also asking questions whilst driving that I want the answer to.

I doubt if custom roms would make any difference. I have used oneplus 1 and op3 but none of the custom roms for these devices had this feature.. Interesting point you made about multiple Google homes devices and the nearest one reverts back.. Didn't know this..

thanks ! im contemplating between this and the pixel 2 xl and this is one of the features that stops me. Would be best if it has AOD as well!
If sommone Not Getting beep sound while assistant wakeups you need to enable Switch acess in accesability settings

It's driving me mad. Anyone know what it is or how to identify it? It doesn't seem to be associated with any other events. I don't see anything new pop into the notification area or anything

Thanks. Speaking of which, is there another ROM available for my j727vl (sky pro) one? This sub forum is a little unorganized. Maybe the question is has this phone been rooted? (?). Technically I don't know so much how these things work, but I know if I can get this thing rooted I can possibly get wifi hotspot working on it which would be super fantastic. Might you know? Thanks

No, the UK Mix 3 has the Global ROM on it, there isn't a "UK ROM" there's Global & Chinese.
Use Google next time, this is a unnecessary thread.

There's also the Xiaomi.eu ROM. I use the EU weekly ROM on my Mix 3 in the UK with no problem.
I'm pretty satisfied with EU rom but I only miss "Ok Google" function.
Thank you for your answers gentlemen.

That's just a modified version of the Chinese rom. There are only two official roms (excluding developer roms).

How's the battery life on Pixel Experience? I had it on my old Mi Max and battery really took a hit. That was fine with 4850 mAh, but with this much smaller battery, I don't know if I can afford to take the hit.
Also I've not seen any ads in .eu as of yet.

MIUI has ads built-in to its notifications and other areas too, it's part of the way they subsidize selling their phones at a loss (they also rely on people using their stock apps for data too). They make a big effort to block these ad in Xiaomi.eu though from what I've read.
I used to get ads for movie trailers in my notifications even when using Pixel Experience, I think Google is just as guilty as anyone else for this.

Google doesn't put ads in notifications. If you're getting them, they're coming from somewhere else, probably a third party messaging app or from the notification itself.

EDIT: Okay I just checked and it seems like it might have been during one of the times it was testing putting ads in its Google Feed. Fingers crossed they won't end up doing that long term :S

Yes, there's nothing there that proves that's anything to do with Google. Likely another app with too many permissions granted which allows it to intercept notifications and include the ad.

Except it opened a Google Feed card? I swatted it away like 5 times that day before finally opening it.
Here's two articles from 2018 about Google putting ads in it's Feed.

Well I don't know what to tell you. That was my experience. Google does push notifications of news, weather, traffic and other interests from the Google Feed, I'm not sure why we're debating if this was possible when the feed was also testing ads in the form of movie trailers. I saw it multiple times, I even held the notification down at one point to consider muting all notifications from the specific app was clearly Google.
Anyway, I haven't seen any ads like this in Xiaomi.eu.
