[Q] Google Apps package names/acvitity names? - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
I'm currently developing and designing a new android icon pack theme and I'm struggeling with finding all package names and activity names.
I found a great website containing a lot of information about package/activity names, but cannot find all Google App names, especially:
- Google Settings
- Google Voice(search?)
- Google Photos
I've also installed QuickShortcutMaker on my phone, but those apps are not showing up in the list, making it hard for me to find the package/activity names.
Is there anyone who knows how to find them or maybe know their names?
Thanks in advance!
Also, heres a quick peek on my icon pack so far,

[Q] Edit amazing weather app for international usage

Hi to all,
I've a chinese smartphone named Vivo Xplay, Android 4.2.2 and it has an AMAZING weather apk, with faboulous widgets!
Unfortunately this apk has only chinese cities provided and I cannot use this app cause other cities are not avaiable.
Also if you select "Set weather with your current location" doesn't work.
I get the app rooting the device and extracting it from system folder.
Is there anyone that is able to edit this apk and add international weather provider so this will be used in every place of the world?
If there's anyone can do this I'll give the app.
I'm sure it will be useful for many people here.
Thanks in advance!
No one can help me??

[Q] How to make android app Searchable/Discoverable in Google Play

Hi everyone
I published my app in Google Play about 3 days ago but now when I try to search it with the title name, meta tags or description it does not show up in Google Play Search Result but if I search it with the developer name or the direct URL it Does show up.
So can anyone help me why it is not Searchable by the title, app name, tags, or description?
App name : Tiles - Icon Pack
URL : play(dot)google(dot)com/store/apps/details?id=tiles.iconpack
I was not allowed to place URL so I put (dot) instead of .

Personalized Yelp, Uber, concert, Soundcloud and Youtube recommendations

You're absolutely right. Also, Aviate has changed a lot since the acquisition by Yahoo. This project looks great.
Waiting for download link to appear
Signed up... Waiting for the alpha version.
We just launched our website and put up a blog post
We also launched version 0.3 today which includes the following changes:
- A YouTube Music card personalized to your music preferences
- A brand new on-boarding experience for new users
- A new Settings area to let you add, edit, and delete Saved Locations
- Major algorithmic improvements for the Contextual Apps card
- Bug fixes
-- Fix cards flashing when stream updates

-- Fix for swiping away of cards when scrolling vertically
-- Fixes for Notification card syncing and ranking
If you signed up for the alpha but for some reason never got in please PM me.
Signed up to test it out
Signed up for Beta, however says it is not on Play Store as of yet. Got an APK we can download by chance?
Signed up as well looks promising, joined group just getting 0 of 0

Can you try going here http://www.bentoapp.com/ and clicking join the beta? We've changed the sign up a bit. You should be able to immediately access the beta google group from there. Once you've joined the google group, you should see a link to the beta. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
There is no link shows up for me also. Just a blank Group Page.
Blank group for me as well. Also tried to use desktop mode. Brings me to the welcome message in the group with a playstore link. Playstore link does not work.
Download link not working
Download link after joining beta from your website is not working.
edit: Works after manually copying and pasting link!
can't download from play store, item not found
edit: downloaded, some playstore or phone bug
Looks promising.
Signed up but it's just an empty Google groups page. Um, what do I do?

Same here.
Sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
We're really sorry about the blank google groups page. This is the link to download the app. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.bento.launcher . There have been multiple issues with the way play store beta membership groups work and we have tried to fix all of the issues.
If clicking on the above link takes you to a page that says "App doesn't exist" or "Page not found", you could try a few things:
Please wait a few minutes and open the link again.
Ensure that the default account you used to sign into your browser is the same as used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group.
Ensure that your play store account is using the same email you used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group
If all else fails, please email [email protected]
Joined beta group from site without at hitch, got from Play, installed and ran. Playing with this, looks quite interesting. Later, google+ did not have me in the "community" so requested that as well.
First and second reactions:
1. Intriguing concept. Looks like it belongs in Ubuntu.
2. Weather card should be location-based (maybe it is). Default units should be locale based. How to set up?
3. To facilitate testing, might be better as a launcher overlay rather than a full launcher. But it is very easy to switch homes from settings (was not always the case). Actually, it will run as an app except that the app-drawer or screen from which it is run remains visible behind the app folders.
4. App runs as app from app-drawer or folder. Runs (and labeled as) Bento Settings from Bento's app drawer. So found how to get my Celcius and km. Cannot place Bento Settings on the folders.
5. A refresh (or "more") button on cards pane might be in order. Can be mostly blank for long periods of time.
6. Got a "tomorrow" card. Never got "today."
7. Quickly learned how to arrange the folders, add, remove apps. More-or-less just like current stock launchers.
8. Like it or not, we are still part of the Google universe (though Cyanogen/Microsoft and Rational would like to change that). So normal calendar, maps, google+ will be around and should fit in. Google Now should also fit into this scheme.
9. Problem on my ArmV6 dinosaur: Cannot use Google's off-line speech recognition which will crash. I get text into Google Now using a voice search wrapper widget which links with older VoiceSearch on-line recognition (that app also did phone searches like Bento!). Voice input to keyboards, most apps crashes. There is a settings->language&input->voice-recognition choice which should be polled and respected. When Bento has more traction, might persuade the wrapper's dev to do a version that feeds Bento's searchbox intent.
10. The thing has no clock. On other launchers I use chronus so took the clock off status bar. Bento runs immersive mode anyway. (Another reason this is more and app than a launcher.)
11. Getting typed text into search bar is problematic sometimes. KB comes up but does not enter.
More to come ...

Finding developer name for an app

You might think that after 10-ish years of using Android, I'd know this...
How do I find the developer name of a specific app in Oreo? I don't see it in Settings > Apps > (app name), or in the app's setting under About. The only way I've found in general, is long press in the app icon the tap the Play Store icon. But some apps are not in the Google play store.
Specifically, I have two app call Contacts. One I know is Google. I can confirm this using the Play Store icon as described above. I haven't another way. The other, I'm 97% sure is Samsung. Tapping it's Play Store icon opens the Play Store to a page that says "Item not found."
I can find version very easily. I can also find the license info. Why is the dev name so hard to find?
