I've been working on an app that adds squeeze gestures to any watersealed phone (only tested with Samsung S8+/Note8). I have been using it myself for a while now, but I think it's ready for others to try.
Here is a Play store link.

I'll try it on my LG V30 but I need an APK - Play Store says unsupported device. Thanks.
Can you share apk to test on my S7 edge?
Same as Stark, would love to try on my V30. Thanks in advance!
Awesome, trying it out now on my s8. Thanks
I realize that my phone was not thought about, and nor do I intend to use SideSqueeze (but great work nevertheless), however SideSqueeze just crashes on the Nexus 4 when the selected activity is supposed to occour (I was just testing it for the fun of it.
The Nexus 4 has a barometer, and SideSqeeze shows how hard I am squeezing the phone just fine, however it crashes whenever the desired action (in this case, toggling WiFi) is supposed to occour.
The same thing happens with the ForcePress feature.
I'll try testing a few more activities in the meantime.
Update: Using the home function is hit-or-miss, It works, but only part of the time, however it fails to work at all with ForcePress.
Edit: I had forgotten to post some vital specs:
ROM: CRDroid (based upon Lineage OS)
Android version: 7.1.2
Running Xposed Framework (no Magisk)
Can someone provide an apk?

The OP has released a Play Store link, there is no need for an APK, even if you run a noGAPPS build (like me).
I like the idea, and I went ahead and purchased premium. I am using a note 8, and the only problem I am experiencing is that the ADB command from the FAQ is returning an error. Can you help?
I'm using an S9 based ROM on my S8, so it doesn't recognise it as a compatible device. I think an APK would be much appreciated if at all possible.
Can we have apk. Our devices can't download it on playstrore
Do not use this app with a popsocket, you will always trigger it when reaching for the notification area or anything on the left side

Sorry about my initial behavior, however I was concerned about the OP being against the APK just being shared.
Let's wait for the OP to say something on the subject, and if you can't wait, then use "Galaxy" app store (based upon "Yalp Store") to download the app (after you log in your Google account).
You can get "Galaxy" from XDA Labs.

It doesn't work in Yalp or Galaxy because there aren't any compatible devices in the spoofing list

That's odd, I had downloaded it it through Galaxy without any issues.
In fact, no app shows up as incompatible for me with Galaxy, even if it really is.

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !
For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/
I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/
I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !
I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.
Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.
I got the nougat update last week, but since then my step counter disappeared from the notification area.
It's still running in the background, steps are counted. I can click on the health icon in the drawer and it pops up, but I liked it better in the pull down notification menu... Tried to find a setting on how to switch that back on, but to no avail... Has anybody found the switch yet? (B563)

Hi,
I use Huawei health app frequently.
You have to change the options in two places
Please check the screenshots.
Those are the two options that will give the steps in notification area.
Another thing to note is the Huawei health app version.
Only this version that you see in screenshot gives the steps in notification area. I saw another health app version and it doesn't give that option. Not sure why.
Hope this resolves your problem.
You're so right! It's the version of the health app.... I still have the 1.1.1.311x, never thought anything of it, since it worked nicely until Nougat.
But now the problem, how to get your V2.0.2 version? Health doesn't show for me in the Playstore... And a forum search here in xda only came up with dead links.
Do you remember where you got it - or better - have a link for the apk?
Thanks man!!

Yes I have the app.
Don't worry about the below steps. Please find the apk file in attachment.
Go to aptoide.com
Install the aptoide app
Then add my store
Samavb.store.aptoide.com
In my store under latest apps you will find this version of Huawei health.
Link to this app is https://samavb.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.huawei.health/20002309/24448697/HuaweiHealth
But you need the aptoide app installed first to download this app.
Even though it might sound complicated, this is the very easy.
Aptoide is an excellent app store.
Any one can create a store there. You can too once you know more.
You can not only install any app but you can also upload any app to your personal store after you create it.
Good luck. Hope you find this information useful.:good::good::good:
Thanks man! I downloaded the version now and it's working again, awesome! What I was wondering though, that you have newer versions for 25 of apps I have also, even though I only see 3 apps, which I deliberately didn't update. The rest is all updated via Playstore... How come? Did you modify those in any way?
Also my Huawei Health 2.x app is now 62MB instead of 14MB....or even 96 MB in memory... Also my settings page looks a bit different than yours, even though it's same version now... Weird...
Hmmm!

Glad to know you are happy.
Unfortunately, I am not a developer and I do not know how to modify these apps in anyway. I am an IT guy (Windows Administration, Networking, Telecom & Android troubleshooting) who loves solving problems and helping people in making their experience with the phones, tablets and computers better.
Aptoide.com is huge. I follow the two official stores which seem to be the main source for all the new versions most of the time. If I find newer versions for my apps I update them provided they are from a trusted source - you get the green tick mark when you update from trusted source otherwise Huawei will warn you that it is not from trusted source and asks you to understand the risks while installing.
So after I update them I upload them using aptoide backup app. That is how I try to keep my store up to date with newer versions.
Beauty of aptoide is everyone can create their own personal store and share it with everyone. You don't have to save the apks any more on sdcard. Everything is there on aptoide in your store. When you install a new ROM you can install the apps from aptoide from your personal store. You can also tweet about it. These tweets are automatic. You can have a look and see if it interests you. My sincere advice, please do not update the core system apps using aptoide. It might create conflict or mess up. Update only those apps which can be uninstalled if you don't like it after using. I use Google play store, Aptoide and XDA for installing apps. If I find the app I am looking for in all the three places, then I pick the most stable and latest from the 3 stores.
I didn't notice the size difference in this app until you told me. Good observation. I do not know why there is such a huge difference. Even the apk I shared in my previous post is 16mb.
I tried to find the apk from the stock firmware B577 but I couldn't find it. The update_data zip file had selective apks which didn't have the Huawei health which is strange. When I was experimenting last week with rooting, I was flashing NXT-AL10 firmwares to see if it is better than NXT-L29. In the end I settled on KangVIP B577 on top of L29C432B560. It was during that time that I saved this Huawei Health app using aptoide. That is why I was able to share it with you quickly.
Thank you for reading this long post. Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good:
Yeah, I was just wondering, but I also thought of different versions, like beta or so... Just weird sometimes with those 3rd party stores, developers and apps... But I also saw the green tick mark and nothing changed in the permissions and its working like it supposed to do now... So for now I'm happy and thanks again for your effort and help!

Google Assistant on my Nokia 6.1 suddenly disabled, I use it on a daily basis to make phone calls and all. It was working fine till the evening but later at night I just found it broken while trying to unlock my device with voice commands. And I did not make any changes to settings or installed any apps and the app is also up to date, so I am totally clueless about what just happened to it. And it is a very handy feature for my day to day use so kind of disappointed. I have searched through web and YouTube yet couldn't find any working solution for me. I have attached two screenshots that might help you understand the problem. Also the setup wizard is on loop asking to setup voice module again and again uninstalling updates/clearing data/cache didn't help either. So I am just out of options here. Any information on this issue would be helpful.

I'm a beta tester of the Google app, but if you have that issue on the stable version, then it is weird. I don't use Assistant so much, so I don't know when it stopped working.
If you need it, you can try to delete data for the Google app, and see if it works.
I will wait for the next version...
Edit: I also asked in G+ community, and I received this comment:
Yes many users having different devices are facing this issue dont worry google has acknowledge this issue and it will be in next update

*** IMPORTANT ***
Beta is over; final product is available in the galaxy store.

Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);
Code:

Looks good on the video, I assume you're using the Alexa API directly (hence the Amazon Shopping log in)? And it looks like you're sending recorded audio to the phone, not STT?
I'd offer to join your beta, but I don't use Alexa anymore
Edit: Just letting you know your Play badge isn't linked to your store listing...

You are correct. application is using Alexa API directly. Amazon Shopping shouldn't be required for the final release. App should be able to login using Alexa authorization. We are going to fix it before release, hopefully.
Thanks for informing me about the badge issue. It was originally linked to the Play Store listing but the image tag overwrites it. I changed to plain text instead of badge now...
Hi there, I've been after something genious like this for Google Assistant or Alexa but just sold my Echo Dot!
With your app are we able to ask Alexa questions and receive answers on the watch or does it simply route the question to the Echo Device?
Great work either way..

You don't need an Echo device.

In a later release we'll move the responses to the watch.

mm i'm thinking to ask for beta test. i'm italian and i have amazon echo (i'm part of preview project to improve italian before official release in our country)
should i have time, i'll email you
UPDATE : Login problem is solved ; now we don't need Amazon Shopping to login.
OK, great I've installed both and tested a small amount, this will be amazing if you can get answers on the Galaxy Watch. Couple of things if I may.
1 - When asking for location based queries it can't answer, says I need to add to Alexa App (Not installed)
2- Says Spotify and Google maps not supported on this device when asking for them.
3 - App closes intermittently on Galaxy Watch when screen closes (15 seconds on mine)
I'll give it a good go later when children are asleep and report back.. So far though seems very good
Is possible to have this app in spanish?
final version in action....

- response will be sent to watch in 2 weeks. I know what I have to do, but it is planned for second phase. Priority is to make a release with no major problems.
- for location, timezone and metric units settings you have to use Alexa app or https://alexa.amazon.com settings page.
- Spotify and Google maps are not supported on Android applications by Amazon. I am sorry but this is not possible.
- What happens when app closes ? Do you see any errors ? What happens if you reopen it ? Does it work normally ?
Thanks.

which store you mean ?
On Google Play you should see the app (the direct link is in first post)
On Samsung apps Store (for watch part) , you can not see anything because it is in beta, not released. (see the first post if you'd like to attend beta)
This sounds interesting, so I think I'll sign up for the beta. I just purchased recently my S3 and it is still in the mail.
There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.
Releases · blunden/SPayToGPay
A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay
github.com
NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything
sorry mate have to let you know I tried everything but it doesnt seem to work

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit
It appears that restarting the watch after installing the app is required.

Working really well for me, installed it and it does the job.

yep! thx for your work. btw I have noticed it only works when you're on the main watchfacew so If you're in an app and then long press it, it won't work. Wish I'd known that before I went to the store the other day, would've saved me from an embarrasing interaction

Great!
Yeah, that's how it always worked. Having it work within apps would prevent apps that listen for key presses from working properly.
works great! but you NEED to restart the watch.

Working: Magisk with Google Pay as of gms 17.1.22 on Pie
Ok. I tried this and it worked on gms 17.1.22, allowing one to add cards and pay in store. Warning YMMV, but this is the process I did to get this working. One caveat is that I suspect users will have to reverse some step if gms is updated and...

Sent you a test build on Reddit.
See the updated first post for a link to the updated app.
It doesn't hurt to launch Google Wallet once, although not sure if that's actually required or not.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
