Hello Everyone,
I have a question about setting an Play Store app as default apps through the Google voice search command.
First let me say I have the Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am currently not rooted. I am using APEX pro as my launcher and the clock app I prefer to use and am currently having issues setting as my default is Clock JB+ (a stock jelly bean clock app). I have the long hold menu option in my Apex launcher set to activate Google voice search. I don't use S voice because it tends to be very inaccurate.
My issue is, I would like to use Google voice search to set alarms and reminders. Google Voice search works fine but for some reason every time I restart me phone it will ask me again and again which clock app I would like to use as my default for this action. Stock or Jelly Bean. I have gone through the app manager and deleted all data, cache and defaults for both apps with no luck at all. Dose anyone have any suggestions? I apologize their is alot to take in with all my settings and different apps but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time
-AJ
Im just curious if its the fact that the Google voice command is internet based unlike s voice so each time the phone establishes a new connection it resets? or would it be something in the jelly bean clock software? im just very curious as to how to solve this issue
I plan on upgrading from my Note 3 to the Developer Note 4. I'm concerned of complaints I've read from Note 4 users that some apps aren't showing up in the Samsung Gear App Market to download due to not being approved for the Note 4, (possibly they require the dev to resubmit for approval with the new device) - is this really happening or am I wrong?
Can any of you Note 4 users please chime in on your experience with the Gear 2 so I can determine whether I want to make the jump or not?
I have a note 4 and gear 2. i can't get flesky messenger in the gear app store but that's a well known thing. Outside of that everything else works fine from what i can tell. I am not big on the gear store apps anyway.
I can confirm this; some apps I'd installed together with my Note 3, are NOT available for install on my Gear 2 in combination with my Note 4!
can any of you post specific apps that are missing for you?
I got a notification for KLWinkel a few days ago that his Multi-Watch app should work (and that's my #1 app right now).
Some other essentials I would like to make sure work:
Wearable Widgets
Smart IR lite
Toggles
Shoplist
Launchgear
LookBehind
Gearam Music ID (shazam-like music search on the gear)
I have a Verizon Note 4 and Neo 2, the only app on that list I have and confirm working is the gear music ID and it works well.

Thanks for reporting back - that's very encouraging! I do use the watch when grocery shopping so that's one of my essentials. I tried wristlist, but I don't prefer it without an option to make the background black, I feel it eats up too much battery with the white backgrounds. Shoplist actually does this and has the tickboxes I like.
upgraded from the S4 on Verizon, have a few questions
1. how do I draw on screenshots/pictures now? I couldn't find an option to in gallery edit or google photo edit.
2. how do I see a text notification (an envelope) on the status bar of the lock screen instead of Verizon Wireless and the first part of the text message?
3. how do I disable the 3 buttons from lighting up?
4. which is better, Music or Google Play Music?
5. can I change the Messages theme back to blue and yellow bubbles or better yet custom bubble colors? I do not like the orange and white cremesicle theme
are these things even possible?
1. Apparently you can't. I was lucky enough to have this feature on my Moto x (Motorola gallery app). Try using a different gallery app (quickpic or cm gallery maybe?)
2. Probably can't get rid of Verizon wireless. I haven't played with it enough to even notice what appears, but doesn't the notification appear on the lockscreen? Just curious, why do you need it in the notification bar?
3. You can't, unless you keep the power saving mode on at all times. This bothers me too. Pray for root.
4. I pay for Google play all access. This way I can stream music from my computer as well as use the streaming service (like Spotify). For this reason, Google play music is invaluable to me. I've actually never used the regular music player on any phone. I never got into storing music on my phone.
5. I tried making the messaging app more appealing, too, but I guess you can't. I use textra, and have for a long time. It's pretty simple yet customizable enough to make you happy
Verizon GS6
Number three is all I really want. They really need to add an option for this so we don't need to use power saving and we might not get root.

I honestly hate Samsung's launcher, but I've been stuck with it since I got my Note 5 because well, it was the only one that supports Samsung's nifty My Places feature, which auto mutes my phone when I get to school and unmutes it when I leave. It's a really handy widget on the home screen that also happens to have next-to-no noticeable impact on battery life.
On the Note 5, Samsung's TW launcher was the ONLY launcher that supports it, not so on the S7. Nova can see and add it to home now, and so can a variety of other launchers. However, Nova drains way too much battery in idle in my experience, so my other alternative is Google Now. But GNow launcher CAN'T SEE the widget for some strange reason beyond me, so i can't add it to home screen. Now i would like to find an alternative to this service that works great and sips battery. Anyone got suggestions?
Maybe IFTTT?
Nice suggestion, but pretty much overkill for me, I don't automate the sending of messages or reminders, or if I want I do so from within my messaging or reminder app. The My Places was simple, elegant and effective for displaying appropriate 'most used' shortcuts in it's panel, based on location. I could go to Sams Club and have my Grocery List app, my messaging app and the Sams Club Scan & Go app apppear on my home screen and then go away after I left that location and be replaced with my "out and about" app and settings choices, then when I reached home - another group plus settings controls apply. So damned handy to have what I needed, where and when I needed it. Nice going to the theater and not having to bother with turning off a ringer etc. As I arrive at the location, it has already been done.
Any luck?
Curious if you've found a replacement yet?

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the "AutoZen app". Since the dawn of Android Auto for phones, I have tried to make this app better and better. I'm a single developer and I develop this app in my free, I know there is a great options like Automate (but is not longer in development). so I decided to make my own version , with touch of material You. AutoZen can work as a navigation app but also as a launcher, there is a launcher mode in settings/themes, where you can select different "dashboards" and widgets that I made, I will keep updating this widgets and I will make it better.
Also data privacy is really important so I don't collect any sensitive data or information, only the necessary data for crash reports and some analytics events.
you can dowload here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenthek.autozen&hl=en&gl=US
Features
Turn by turn navigation (powered by Mapbox), everyone loves Google maps but unfortunately is not possible to "embed" GMaps navigation , mapbox is nos perfect but is great tho, I'm looking the possibility to integrate Here Maps and navigation but I'm still testing this feature and is also pricey.
Navigation Launcher, if you don't like my turn by turn navigation you can "launch" your favorite navigation app like Waze, Google Maps, Tom Tom and so on after a destination is selected
Built in call: if you you set my app as default call app this will give you full control within AutoZen so you don't have to leave the navigation screen to answer the call, built in with contacts, recent calls and a dialer
Messaging: play aloud incoming messages from Whatsapp, telegram, signal, slack,.. , reply using voice input, mute specific messages or all messages.
Built in music player: select your favorite music player like Spotify and control your music (play/pause, rewind and next song),
Light/dark mode
Speed cameras : Alerts for static speed cameras
Speed Limit
Weather: Built in Weather
Built in calendar: Easy to find your calendar events and one click navigate to the meeting
Voice commands: I use my own "algorithm" to recognize commands like, navigate to "home/work, street 123...", play music, stop music, weather and some others
Known limitations:
Music:
Unfortunately due Android limitations i can't incorporate more actions for music, i applied for Spotify SDK but they only accept certain partners.
Voice commands
is not 100% accurate but i'm working in ways to improve using AI, also I plan to incorporate google actions so it would be possible to use Google Assistant
Voice recognition sometimes is not 100% accurate but this depends of the device and microphone, this comes from Android platform and if the place is too noisy the voice recognition is not always the best

Will car manufactures with built-in Android Auto recognize the variations of AutoZen or is this app strictly a stand-alone for devices only?

for now is stand-alone for devices only, but I'm trying to figure out how to "hijack" Android Auto more like a mirroring, but not success yet. so sadly for now will work as stand-alone app
I think there are some issues to fix and if you want I can help with italian translations, but I took this app for my headunit and its one of the best looking. <3

Hey Luca, I have some translations in italian, I must admit I paid for some, others using google translate and some are missing, please send me an email to [email protected] so I can see what are the issues and maybe you can help me out with the italian translations!!!!
this app seems cool.
got it mostly setup and configured on a xperia 5 ii with root forced on android 10.
also got it going for the prem subscription.
it work's quite well in the smallest official DPI settings.
currently using the coolwalk launcher and it looks sweet. but it's missing some more customization options.
also only really room for 2 widgets. even though. for example.. the speed cam and speed limit could easily be combined into 1 widget rather than both having to take 2..
i plan on using it along side android auto. the navigation will be on the phone with music control trough android auto.
if you do seek some suggestions and stuff let me know.
*also* the music widget like's to bug out quite a bit with apple music. it just stops updating it seems.

Thanks a lot!!!
yes, about the widgets, I did some of them as alternative, not is become more popular this launcher mode so I will work to bring more widgets/ small space, I will check about the applie music, if is possible and you can make a quick video and send it to me that would be great so I can see the issue.

i'll try to figure out how to reproduce the issue. it has not happened again so far.
basically the music status and display would freeze even trough music was still playing/another track was playing.
but switching between music apps from the drop down menu fixed that.
Hi;
i have a question to you.
When i connected my phone to car , Andorid Auto starts automatically. I see AA on car screen.
If i uninstall AA, then install AutoZen, does AutoZen starts automatically on car screen when i connected my phone to car?
Thanks in advance
heya me again!
i have found a app that does not seem to work with the auto-zen media controls
got farmata auto+farmata auto control installed.
here is a little video
issue persist after restart
Maybe an neat suggestion idea.
if the user taps on the little status icons on the bottom right corner in for example. coolwalk UI. open up the notification center.
it would make easier access to the notification center than having to swipe a bunch of times for it to come down.
