[Question] Is there an App that...
Hey guys!
I was thinking about if there is an Application for Android, that detects a specific color on the screen and taps it. Kind of like a simple Aimbot. If there isn't one, is anybody here able to build one? I think it would be an interesting App-Idea that many people might use.

Edit: if there is one here on the Forums i'm sorry, the search function in my XDA App somehow won't work...
Yes there is it's called "color grab" and it's free on the play store..there's actually several others I believe.

Or wait do you mean detects a color and performs an action you choose?

Yes, i mean an App that performs actions when a specific color shows up

Oooo ok interesting, well I bet you will have to go with something like tasker or e robot , an automation system basically I know it's been done with tasker but its a fairly complicated thing to pull off . I would check some of the tasker g+ communities

Is it possible for me to turn a cheap android phone into either a wifi drive or a wireless hotspot, i know its possible through the usual setting in android (turning it into a hotspot) im not a noob, but i was wondering if anyone is particularly good at writing operating systems and if they could guide me into writing one that is just a wifi hotspot without any of the phone capabilities (i.e. texting and calling), and if the same is possible for turning it into a wifi drive
I personally would use a non resource hungary ROM like AOSP for example. It'll be rooted so remove the call and messaging apps from the system directory.

thanks for that
this sounds like a good idea, although i would still like to be able to find a way of making an application into the only thing accessible on the operating system, but i will use it for the time being

Couldn't you just delete all the other applications?

You can delete almost everything. I think this would be the easiest way to be honest, especially if using titanium backup, at least you can experiment with what you can remove, if you break something, restore it back.

i think its looking like the best option, I'm going to look into writing some code that makes the chosen app run constantly and then once ive deleted all the apps, just turn that into a ROM, looks like I'm going to have to learn some more javascript...

You are over engineering this.
You can make a specific app stay on by making it a never kill priority. You can also set it up to auto start on boot so its always on' even if you get a random reboot.
Making a new ROM with just 1 app is completely unnecessary. Just remove everything through titanium that isn't absolutely required to make the device boot and stay active.

firstly he did reply the day before you did .
fair enough, i dont know enough about what you can do with android, my experience so far has been rooting and flashing phones and then installing and uninstalling system applications, I've not gone a massive amount further, i mean i probably know more than im saying. thanks for the tips though, ill definitely look into this once i get my new phone.

to the best of my knowledge, the active listening component of the "Google Experience Launcher" is not available on any custom third party launchers as of yet. google has not open-sourced their launcher and, for the time being, are keeping it an n5 exclusive.

I personally just set the double tap gesture to voice search. Just as good maybe better.
Thanks, guys. But I found an app that so far does toggle active listening. It's called Open Mic+. It's in the Play Store and it comes in a free and paid version. The paid version honestly doesn't add much more than the free one does. Anyway, the app isn't 100% perfect, but it's good so far.

I assume with open mic+ nature of app battery life would be hit significantly?
I am surprised the moto x assist and always listening app have yet to be ported.

The problem I found with open mic+ is on my stock nexus 5 it was not starting on boot and at random times disappears from the navbar or just stops responding to the keyword even though it is running and shows it's listening. The concept is nice but will have to wait on a more stable implementation. Props to the dev though as he's just in high school and it's well on the way to being a must have app.

Really? This isn't the Moto X. There is no point at which you have to do nothing. You still have to unlock the phone and be at the home screen. Having already unlocked the phone what is a double tap? Besides, I don't particularly like saying okay Google.
Op should add a question mark in the topic.
Done.

This is what I want. We have the extra core, LET IT LISTEN TO US!
Running CM11 beta 7. 4.4 on S3. Tmo.
Google Experience Launcher
Nova Launcher Beta 3
On the S3 the left capacitve "menu" button offers a long press option into Google Now.
Then Google Now is Active: Say "Ok Google"
Or use the standard GEL, and "Ok Google" is active in any home screen.
Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luck.okaygooglenow I'm in the same boat on my AT&T S3. I'll give it a shot and report back.

It's double tap instead of saying ok google. Since you have to have it opened to the homescreen anyway a double tap would be faster. It would be different of course if we had always listening when the screen is off.

Look at it now. Custom watch widgets. We can make custom backgrounds. We have a pedomater. We have a seconds widget that counts up to 60. Numerous new clock faces. I mean heck, I have a green digital clock widget. I mean we have seen this evolve into a much more fleshed out smart watch in a 2 month span it's been amazing
I belive the smartwatch 2 Will age much much more gracefully than any other smartwatch.
Its getting customization like the pebble , but with a touch screen thats even colored!
:fingers-crossed:
I agree. It's come along nicely. Hopefully it continues for awhile longer.

Now we just need sony to make the watch cycle through it's faces with a horizontal swipe.
I must say, being able to control my music directly from the watch face is the best part for me. Now I really like my watch.

Although the pedometer isn't integrated in the smartwatch, it does use the app installed on your phone and it works pretty well.
I agree, the SW2's pedometer widget works rather well. I use it daily.

Why would a smartwatch need a pedometer?? If you have your phone in your pocked why not let your phone do it? And if the sw2 can utilize it and display it on its screen why not use that?

The only thing I hate with this watch is that it has no multitasking so whenever I'm using certain apps like pedometer and exit the app to change music the pedometer will restart at 0

Walkmate doesnt work at all for me - on my feet all day and says 85 steps. I use remote widget to push my S health info to watch. works much better.
I just switched from a Moto X to the LG G3. First, the screen is fabulous. After that I am losing interest quickly (bloatware galore).
I just spent the better part of an hour troubleshooting why I couldn't edit my existing Google contacts on the phone. Turns out you have to enable displaying of the local "Phone"calendar in the Calendar app. My best guess as to why is because for some reason the phone wants to save Birthday events to the phone calendar. There really is no reason for that.
My current issue. For one reason or another I have nicknames in some of my contacts. I use these nicknames (Such as when I tell Google Now to "Call my Wife") it adds the nickname. I am a little OCD about my contacts so it absolutely kills me that it now moved my wife down to the bottom and filed her under Wife. I see the options to Sort and Display by first or last but I am not finding the option to not display nicknames.
Anybody know of a solution? Thanks in advance.

Same problem here - It's driven me nuts - I cannot figure out how to get rid of the Nicknames - Interestingly as an android flashing addict - I have not had this problem "EVER" - I want my nicknames - just not on the phone.
Update on this issue?
Does anyone have any updates on this issue? I just switched from a S4 to the G3 and I really dislike this feature. How can I make it so it doesn't display nicknames?

You shouldn't have to delete the contact completely. You can just edit the existing one and clear the nickname.

Even I rooted my phone for this but nothing had happened.
I wrote an App that lets you control your phone's brightness provided it's running Android 8.0+ and has a compatible fingerprint sensor.
I wrote it because I change my phone's brightness as often as I change it's volume, if not more, and I was upset I didn't have dedicated hardware for it. When Oreo launched and it added fingerprint gesture detection, I figured I'd have a go at it.
The app has been available on Google Play for a month now to Pixel and supported Nexus devices. All things being equal, it should work on the Essential Phone with Oreo installed, but I don't have access to one.
I was wondering if anyone here could help me test it?
Here's a link to the latest APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11zxh3LAbBllYrHop2jsgUuhcfooPJpQX/view
Feedback and suggestions are most welcome!
More info about the App can be seen on it's Google Play Listing. It's premium IAP is also 50% off till tomorrow!
