no sms sounds on ota ics - Motorola Droid 4

Just updated to ota ics yesterday from stock rooted gb. Used voodoo rootkeeper and undid all my manual debloat before upgrading. Everything seems ok except for this. Volume is turned up, vibrate works, and it's not set to silent. I wish i could link the ringtone and notifications volume, but thats another thread. Ringtones DO work when i get a call, and even my reminder app (Missed Call Reminder) plays the right sound when i have a missed sms. I havent tried any alternate sms apps like handscent or go, since i dont need any of that stuff.
I have disabled quite a lot of crap via the stock apps control panel, but none of that should have anything to do with this... if necessary i could put together a list of what i've disabled, but since im typing this on the phone, that would take forever.
Any ideas? (And any ideas on how to link notification and ringtone volumes so i can adjust both at the same time using the volume rocker, just like i could in gb?)

just discovered this morning (when trying to update my ad-blocking hosts file) that voodoo did not restore root. went back into rootkeeper and tried to restore, and even though it says "root su restored" doesn't check the boxes that say "device rooted" or "root permission granted" (other 3 boxes are checked) - so basically it failed. i'll try to re-root the phone tonight (can't do it using my work PC) but i doubt that will fix this problem.
if it matters, here's what i've disabled using the apps control panel:
amazon kindle
facebook
google play books
google play movies
google play music
google+
mog music
motoactv
motocast id
music store
my music
my verizon mobile
nfl mobile
quickoffice
slacker radio
slingbox
social location
swype
v cast tones
verizon video
video calling
videosurf
vz navigator
i used to use a custom notification sound from the internal storage, but tried switching to several of the stock ones (tweeters, captain's log, caff. snake, etc) but those don't work either. they play when i select them from the list, and when i get a reminder tone from the reminder app, but the only thing that happens when i get a text is that the phone vibrates (i have it set to vibe + ring).
i don't really want to do a master reset, but i'm getting the feeling that's probably going to be the next step. i have tibu, i just don't want to spend the time doing all that.

Galaxy Gear with HTC One

So I picked up a Gear about a week ago to pair with my HTC One. I thought if I couldn't get it to work I could give it to my wife to use with her S4 or I would pick up a Samsung phone. I would like to say I am very new with flashing roms or doing anything of the sort. So I started with doing a lot of searching on this site and reading up with how to flash the rom on the Gear to something that I could pair with the HTC One. I installed TWRP and got that working correctly when I boot the Gear into Recovery mode. What took awhile was getting the Null_23 Rom onto the Gear where I could install it. After trying to do it with ABD (and failing) I found a video that used Wonder Share. I went with this system. I paired the device with my wife's Samsung so I could enable Debugging mode, was able to pair the Gear with WonderShare and push the Null 23 Rom to it.
Went into recover, did a full wipe, then installed the Null 23 rom, rebooted unit, it ask if I want to use Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, and a 3rd option that I can not remember at the moment. But The Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher icons are in the programs menu, I can use them at any time and change the layout of the home screen.
So after installing this Rom I am able to pair the Gear with my HTC One. Now on the Gear, I can answer a phone call, the caller ID works, I can sent the call to my phone to answer but I can not dial out to make a call from the Gear,Contact do not show up, Notifications do not work for text messaging, The seconds on the clock are correct but it will not link up in the correct time zone for the hours. Calender does not work. I can connect the Gear to the internet with pdaNET and the web browser will work. The Google Play Store ask me to log into or make a new account, but when I try to do either it stops working.
I have starting working on the notifications first, but haven't been able to get them to work correctly.
A short list of what works
Answering Calls
Clock keeps times, but has wrong hour, this is probably something simple but I haven't looked into it yet
Camera takes Pictures
pdaNET
Web Browser
Items I would like to work
Notifications,
Calender sync
Contact sync
Dial out to make call
I think if I can get these few functions to work that more will fall in line.
Thank you for any help

For notifications you should go with ATN Notifier, there are many threads on this issue.
For dialing out, it worked for me after syncing my Google contacts. Have you logged into your Google account? That should help, I guess. Same with Calendar sync, but this will use Internet access to be up to date and therefore drains your battery pretty quick.
I would also recommend to install Gear Manager (1.6XX) to use gear apps like runtastic, turn by turn navigation and so on. Check out Brendans Folder!
Good luck!

GG on LGG2 Works- sorta..?

Running 4.4.2 on a rooted LGG2. After reading on the forums, I have my (completely stock) GG connecting to my G2 and it seems to work, BUT I don't get any notifications, music player doesn't work... facebook app doesn't seem to work and I get an error saying
"Samsung apps not installed"
My path so far has been to install an older version of watchmanager 1.6.132701, along with the apps.
The watch connected after that.
I then installed the updated watch manager 1.7.031004
My watch then updated itself, and rebooted twice.
I have since installed several apps (ebay and facebook) from the forum, but they don't seem to communicate with the watch properly.
So my next step is installing a custom ROM on the watch?
Will bluetooth conversations on the watch ever work?
If I could get ebay, mail, and text notifications working I'd probably be satisfied.
Thanks for any help!

null rom is about the only one available atm
nullproject.net
null rom has Bluetooth tethering profile which will allow apps on watch to connect to internet
check the themes and apps section for notification options
check other device threads in gear forum to see how they achieved best setup

Thanks for the replies guys.
So if I install the null rom, will I be able to use the bluetooth audio function of the watch to make and receive calls?

Google Now on lock screen with Bullets V2

Hi,
I currently have a problem that is bothering me a bit.
Let me explain my situation.
I bought Tasker & AutoVoice so I could control the lights in my room with my voice.(AutoVoice is an app that intercepts Google Now voice messages).
Now I got that all up and running pretty good, however now I'm running into a problem.
I can't access Google Now when the screen is locked/off. To access it I use my Bullets V2 button.
In the app there is a message the Google prevents to intercept any Searches made from the lock screen. However I can't even access Google Now in the lock screen.
My question is, is there a way to let Google Now be accessed when the screen is off with the button from my Bullet V2?
Or is there another app that works with Google Speech to Text and Tasker (I know there are some for English but Google Speech recognition is the only one that understands Dutch good enough so it has to work with that)?
- Menno
Oneplus bullet v2 earphones pauses music when in motion
While listening to music on my earphones while riding a motorbike the music pauses automatically. No matter how many times and press the button to resume, it pauses on its own after like 10 seconds (approx). This happens only above the speed of 40kmph/25mph. I've tried all the music apps possible, with or without the internet, in airplane mode, everything but still the bug persists. Has anyone else also faced the same issue? Any solutions?

Guide: Laggy G8? Make it ROCKET! No, it's not the UX!

Something was not right, for me, when scrolling in browsers and play store. It was laggy as hell. In other apps like facebook, tidal, instagram, youtube it was fluid and fast. But not on browsers. Tried all, chrome, opera, firefox, bromite, but all was stuttering like crazy. Play store also. I tought there are few rougue apps, twilight theme, fluid nav gestures and smart files manager, but I was so wrong. I also blamed the LG UI skin, but again was so wrong! So how did I resolved?
Guide - possible for any LG out there:
1. Remove SIM
2. Factory reset your phone in the way that doesn't require Internet to go through activating the phone. If you cant do this, it will fail. You should NOT put the email account. (I did reset from phone settings, not by keys. Also remove phone security such as pin, password, face id etc for this to work - just select unlocking the phone by sliding up)
3. DO NOT connect to internet, do not insert SIM.
4. Settings - apps - show system apps also.
5. Disable, remove permissions, set modify system setting to NO and draw over other apps to NO for all korean bloatware (screenshots attached) and for Google play services, google play store, google, and google service framework.
You must do this for each app. Example in screenshots.
6. Connect to wifi. Do not put your email in play store or gmail. Not yet.
7. As soon as connected slide down the notifications pannel. A pop up will apear after few seconds with Google trying to update some libraryes!!! Hit CANCEL!!!
8. Restart and connect with your email on Play Store. Disable asap app updates.
9. Your contacts won't sync now. Don't worry, its normal, you just removed some permissions.
10. Update and install all your apps from play store.
11. Re-enable that 4 google apps, give permissions to all for contacts, phone, wifi etc, enable also draw over other apps and modify system settings for these apps.
12. Insert SIM.
Enjoy! Hope it works for you all, V40, 30, G8, G7 etc
Weird, but its like I have stock vanilla now. Rocket!

I have the G8s "DEC", too. The camera in 4k 60 fps video recording is laggy. I am not the only one with this problem. But i guess we need an update from LG. It seems the Camera App is the problem.

Can these issues be fixed on China P30 Pro VOG-AL00

I got a p30 pro as a gift in China and coming from a Pixel 2XL, this software is incredibly frustrating.
My 3 main annoyances are:
1. Google Pay doesn't seem to work. Everytime I try to setup my card, an error message says "Can't complete setup for contactless payment. To resolve this, you'll need to contact...." This is so annoying, why bother allowing the app to be installed in the first place? In Settings, you can even choose Google Pay as a default payment app.
2. Notifications do not persist on lockscreen. E.g. when using Spotify, the playback controls show up initially on lockscreen, but disappears shortly after. Once a new song starts playing, the controls show up again. Same goes for all kinds of notifications like email, messages, etc. They do show up after unlocking the phone, but even if I don't dismiss them, I can't see them on the lockscreen. I've turned on the Show on lockscreen option in all the affected apps, but no dice. I disabled face unlock and that doesn't help neither
3. Google assistant. In settings, the Access with Voice Match toggle is greyed out, so there's no way to trigger assistant unless by opening the Google or Google assistant app.
Searching these forums has been pointless, no one seems to know how to fix these issues. Now Huawei doesn't even allow unlock bootloader and root anymore....
Has anyone found any workaround?
Thanks and have an awesome weekend
