Activate GOOGLE NOW ON TAP on any Android M version!

On some ported Android M (CM13/AOSP 6.0) the NOW ON TAP functionit's broken/not-working, here I've listed a detailed guide on how this should be carried out fix this bug:
Plz note that this will work anywhere Android M it's installed, and this guide was made assuming that the devices in question with this function broken, don't have an "on screen navigation bars", and thus if your device it's already enabled nav bar, proceed to steps corresponding your concern:
++++++++++++
Let's do this:
++++++++++++
Note> skip this step 1 to step 2 if you don't want use navigation bar(then your menu button will be used instead, by pressing it) or if you've got nav bar activated on your device already!
1.obviously on screen navigation buttons are needed ,
Go and open this file as text /system/build.prop then add at the end of build.prop " qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to enable nav bar as seen in this screen below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.if "google now launcher + google now app" were not part of your flashed gapps, then download them from play store! Then under system settings locate the google app > search and now> voice> and now activate now on tap(do voice detection if needed)
3.Now go to system settings> apps> tap on the settings icon top right> select default apps> finally select assist and voice input and select google app as your assist app!!
Press and hold virtual home button/or hardware menu button from within any app with tabs:
....and also plz note that In some devices with MENU hardware button, you can hold that button to activate the NOW ON TAP function........ and also this guide will work on TouchWiz Android M if some how the function it's broken!

Is there a way to use the English now on tap even when the system language is not English?

Figured out what the Now On Tap issue is. DONT touch the "Buttons" section in normal Settings. Changing anything in this menu will break Now On Tap

thx dude

That's not how you should use your phone, got to go anyway on your phone touch what you want anytime..the method provided here it's 100% fail proof!!
And it's how this function should be implemented within custom roms, don't limit yourself by not changing seTtings on your phone!

[APP][4.3+] New launcher for WeTek Core

If you wanna help debugging this new launcher I have created feel free to download it and report in this thread any error or crash you might experience.
In case of crash try to replicate it and, please, include logcat.
You can't use this launcher on the Play running WeTek OS because it requires at least Android 4.3 for the notification APIs but if you are using my CyanogenMOD build you can use it on the Play as well (but you might need to use a keyboard to access some of the functions since they are mapped for Core's remote).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Instructions
Download the zip file containing the apk, unzip it and install the apk using your preferred method (using adb install, copying it to a MicroSD card and installing it using a file manager, etc.)
As very first thing allow the launcher to access the notifications in "Settings -> More Settings -> Sound & Notification -> Notification access".
I have created this launcher for being light and very easy to use, in fact using the Core you will do most of the actions using the * (star) button (if you don't have the Core's remote you can achieve the same with F6 button on a keyboard).
In the top row you have the notifications, you can click with OK button on them to open them in a popup or you can dismiss the selected notification without opening it using * button.
In the second row you have the highlighted apps section, the middle icon is the app drawer. From the drawer you can add the selected app to the list of favourite apps (the third row in the home of the launcher) by pressing * button, you can also long press OK to access to the app information menu where you can uninstall/disable the app, clean the cache or data, move the app to the sd, etc.
The third row, as previously said, has a list of favourite apps. You can re-arrange them by long pressing with OK on one of them (you will see that the app rectangle has a blue border, meaning it's been selected), moving to the position where you wanna put that app and long press OK again to swap the two positions (it's easier done than said), if you long press with OK on the same selected app it will clear the selection.
To delete a favourite app use the usual * button.
The last row has three icons, one for the connectivity (showing if you're connected by ethernet, wifi, or not connected at all) that will launch network settings when clicked; one that will launch android settings and another one that shows the weather and, once clicked, will show a popup with a 5 days forecast (from this popup you can toggle C/F degrees by pressing, guess what? * button
)

1.2.1
Changes
1.2.1:
- Added option to hide applications
- Added support for icon themes (have a look here for more info)
- Added Turkish translation
20151126:
- A lot of improvements under the hoods, included fixing a FC when using IP geo location since the public API I was using is not available anymore.
20151104:
- Added the possibility of fetching weather for a custom location. You can access to settings by pressing menu button in the main launcher window
20151101:
- Added current temperature and current city to the weather icon in the footer
- LP only: modified the visual feedback of the currently focused highlighted/favourite app
20151030:
- Added the possibility of customizing the Highlighted apps (all but the app drawer). Long pressing on an highlighted app will bring up a dialog where you can choose the new highlighted app. To reset an highlighted app to the default state press the usual * button on the customized highlighted app.
If you are running one of the latest Core rom that have this new launcher as system launcher you won't be able to update unless you use this file.
20151029:
- Added a colored circular reveal animation in the home section when interacting with objects that launch something

New version.

4.2
And for 4.2?

It is not possible because the notification listener requires 4.3, and integrated notifications is one of the best things of this launcher imho

This is what I want! Works on any android box?
Thanks for the launcher

the link is broken

I would recommend advertising this as a TV box launcher and keep developing on that niche. There are not nearly enough decent TV box launchers available. The one that Tronsmart uses is really good, but that's the only other one that I like. I didn't know what this was, but if people know its a TV box launcher they may be interested.

Launcher look fantastic,but link is broken.Please, fix it

Can we get a new link or a mirror please?

[Guide] Use MIUI+ on xiaomi.eu (remote control your phone from Windows)

How to use MIUI+ on supported devices on xiaomi.eu ROM
MIUI+ allows you to control your smartphone from your Windows PC, seeing it's screen and using Keyboard & Mouse. It also syncs several things like Photos, Calendar and Messages.
MIUI+ only works for a limited set of devices. If your device is supported, but you use xiaomi.eu ROM, some libaries are missing from the ROM and screen sharing won't work.
There's a chinese developer, who made a Magisk module, that adds back many of the removed features/apps/libraries to xiaomi.eu.
Dev's website: https://blog.minamigo.moe/
His magisk module: https://blog.minamigo.moe/archives/184
Download links to the latest module ZIP: here (the apk is only useful if you have lsposed)
His module supports restoring several Mainland China features to the xiaomi.eu ROM, which is mainly interesting for Chinese users who want to use the xiaomi.eu ROM, but also for everyone who wants to get MIUI+ working.
During installation in Magisk, the command line will ask which functions you want to restore, and you can choose each of them by pressing Volume - for NO and Volume + for yes:
Little Milan Pavilion Pro Font
MiPush (connect to a server in mainland China)
AI call
Life Yellow Pages (caller ID identification)
SMS (verification code, promotion SMS classification)
Calendar (lunar calendar, holiday schedule details, import SMS events, etc.)
Mi Wallet (bus card, door card, UnionPay card)
app Store
Fast application
Global Internet (one-dollar traffic)
Full screen keyboard (Sogou input method)
Portal
Voice wake-up of Xiao Ai and Xiao Ai (unstable! Only the wake-up words can be customized, and Xiao Ai needs to be restored)
Intelligent assistant (negative one screen)
Weather (positioning, Caiyun weather)
Permission management (the mainland version has stricter permission management)
Theme store (fonts and ringtones cut back to mainland China)
Browser
Mainland version setting interface (Google service switch), game toolbox, video toolbox, download management (Xunlei acceleration), MIUI+ repair (need to support the model itself), dial interface
Guide
Use the Google Translate and take screenshots of the menu in magisk and also for the windows MIUI+ installation, if you have problems.
Copy the magisk module zip file to your phone, open Magisk manager, select the last tab below (modules), then tap the "Install from storage" button and select the copied magisk module zip file.
A chinese menu will ask you to press the volume + button. Do it
Then press the volume - button
The console will ask step by step which functionality to restore. For each one press volume - (no) until the one saying: 是否恢复全球上网（一元流量）？音量+：是，音量：否。请根据音量键进行选
(Will the global Internet connection be restored (one-dollar traffic)? Volume+: Yes, Volume: No. Please select according to the volume keys)
For this one press Volume + YES
Press again volume - (no) for all further questions, until the following menu item appears: 是否恢复大陆版设置界面（谷歌服务开关），游戏视频工具箱下载管理的迅雷加速修复MIUI +，拨号界面（营业厅）？提示：下载管理有广告！MIUI +需机型本身支持。音量+：是，音量：否。请根据音量键进行选择：您选择了是
(Do you want to restore the mainland version of the settings interface (Google service switch), the Xunlei accelerated repair of the game video toolbox download management MIUI+, and the dial interface (business hall)? Tip: There are advertisements for download management! MIUI+ needs the support of the model itself. Volume+: Yes, Volume: No. Please choose according to the volume keys
For this one press Volume + YES
A warning appears, telling you that you need xposed etc. to fix some app permission issues. Agree by pressing Volume + again
Reboot
Install miui+ on windows from https://plus.miui.com/
Connect your phone via USB to your PC
On your phone open Settings > Connection & Sharing > MIUI+ Beta and click the Scanner button
On your PC, open MIUI+, a QR Code should be visible
Scan the QR Code with your phone and allow the connection on your phone

MIUI+ on windows is in chinese and it's very hard to use.

It didn't even generate the QR code for me in Windows, so I couldn't access any functionality.

I have a xiaomi mi 10 pro and after following your steps the phone does not start. After installing the module in Magisk and restarting it no longer starts.

Question Change/Remap Assistant button (side key) NO root

Has anyone managed to remap the nasty Assistant button?
I tried all possible apps, non of them worked!
Even if I completely disable Google Assistant and select the Assistant mapper as default assistant app in settings, when pressing the button Google assistant opens and asks to be enabled!
Disgusting!

Sorry for not getting any response. How I wish I know the answer but I just noticed how unhelpful Motorola Edge S/G100 users are if it doesn't affect them.
Not the XDA I know of when I first joined in 2010 busy modding Moto Rokr e2 and e8 (ahh... those early days).
Anyhow, try this. I believe this can remap the button (will also remap the swipe from corner)
Swipeup Utility - Apps on Google Play
Put your home button to use.
play.google.com
Just take note I haven't personally tried this. Hope it works. Good luck.

I have managed to disable it, but not remap.

I have managed to remap it to the Camera app without installing other apps. Its in one of the options in the OS.

I have managed to rebind the assistant button to open any app using Tasker, because no "Rebind buttons" type of app can detect the said button
1. I set Default digital assistant app to 'None' (pressing the button now shows "Set Google as the default assist app to access your Assistant")
2. In Tasker i made a new profile > Application > All > Assistant Settings
3. To the profile i added a New task with 2 actions: 'Back Button' (exits the assistant setup screen and makes the task run faster) and 'Launch App'
Because the task requires assistant to be opened, what you can do with it is limited (you can't set it to a function like camera shutter because it will switch apps).
I have set it to open the app 'Touchpad for Big Phone & Tab'. I would have liked to add a macro that automatically enables the touchpad and then exits the app; but that requires root access and I'm not comfortable with rooting my daily driver phone that i saved up for (also i have never done that before).

frida -e -s / system / bin / mirror.js -n com.dazn
HOW TO USE 2 PHONES WORKING (one always connected with the secondary USB cable - one normally connected via primary Bluethoot)
Install the free version as recommended by Mastino "Disable appliacation Root"
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d ... hl = en_US & gl = US
Open the app, give all the required permissions, scroll the list to the bluethot item, open the item, click on disable.
If everything is ok now you can use the secondary phone for S2A and have the bluethoot channel free to use the main phone with the speakerphone, as you have always done.
FORCED ROTATION OF WORKING APP(e.g. NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO etc)
Some apps appear vertically when opened and have no options for rotation.
Rotation with a specific app that requires permissions must be forced.
Use the ROTATION app by Pranav Pandey that works very well
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation&hl=it&gl=US
DELETE LOCK SCREEN for DIRECT START ON WORKING HOME
In the developer options (which I assume you already have active) activate skip the lock screen
This way you will no longer have the annoying vertical lock screen

SOLUTION FOR S2A DISAPPEARED FROM AA
Uninstall AA and install AA version 7.0.614104
Install or run LUCKY PATCHER.
find and Select screen2 auto
press and hold on screen2auto
Then click on clone app
After cloning it asks if you want to install the clone
Clik install clone
android auto screen2auto appears again.
Naturally you must reconfigure again screen2auto end android auto

Excellent guide, thank you very much OP.
