Free Nexus 5s for all us that are helping debug JB on here?

everything cool enough

Revamped/improved Google Music that allows choosing the offline storage folder, an API to interface streaming with 3rd party music apps.
Unified messaging app that supports sharing images/videos/files like Gtalk for the desktop does.
More options in the camera app, less accidental setting adjustment when swiping to the gallery, dual-recording.
Stock integration of some of the obvious things like Torch, battery %.
More configurable/robust backup of app data to Google.
Adjustments in App Management to control how often certain apps can wake the device. (For example, saying that Facebook is only allowed to check for updates or notifications once an hour, on the hour, and aligning other apps with it, preventing lots of wakelocks for things you don't need to check often).
More integration with Google Keep to allow editing from desktop Chrome, displaying a note in a popup window with an alarm or notification.
A security option that automatically takes a photo with the front facing camera whenever the screen is turned on, and uploads it to the Google account that owns the phone.
The option to make an app a fullscreen widget so that it's like you just swipe to the app itself (sort of like the camera on the lockscreen). These would only be able to be at the far edge of your layout of homescreens and home would take you to the adjacent screen.

What apps do you have on YOUR pebble?

Just thought it'd be nice to have a place where everyone can share what apps they're using/ have used to help each other find some cool new stuff.
I currently have
PebbleDialer
Notification Center
Keep for pebble
And music boss.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I've had mine for a week now and the apps i have are:
Notification Center
PebbleTasker (Never really used Tasker before, but I guess now is the time to start)
Sleep as Android
RingMyPhone (gimmicky thing) - Guess this could be done with Tasker too..
Glance for pebble (with 3 tasker profiles) , Evernote, pebble dialer
The usual suspects (notification center, canvas and PebbleTasker) and agenda watchface and nav me. Works very well

SmartWatch+ (GPS, Weather,Camera,Calendar, Notifications) - not free ($2 I think), my favorite so far
Tiny Bird (Flappy Bird clone)
Morpheusz (sleep monitoring)
Pebble Mars (Mars Rover images on watch face)
Motiv8Health (fitness/calorie counter)
- Glance (with custom Tasker Profiles, I created something similar to music boss so I can control volume and tracks from poweramp, and many other task)
- Notification Center
- Pebble Dialer
- Revolution Watchapp (biggest numbers)
- Pebble-Cal 2.0 (Dynamic Calendar)
- Evernote
- Stopwatch
- Multi timer
That's it. 8/8.
With these apps we can:
-Execute almost infinite number of Tasker tasks (including my favorites Launch Google Now and disable Notification Center manually before going to sleep)
-see all smartphone's notifications (excluding those you don't want)
-monthly and daily calendar
-Stopwatch
-timers
-notes, reminders, dynamic checklists (you can check/uncheck them from the watch, e.g. supermarket list)
-see and answer SMS (pre defined answers)
-see call logs and call any number or contact
-oh, and see what time is it, always synchronized with atomic servers (with clock sync on Android).
That's it for now.
Odd that there's no love for yelp. I love it on the Pebble. It's the only app I use aside from Music Boss but I use the stock pebble music app with it.
Nav Me - perfectly working navigation from Google maps
Utilities from Pebble Rocker - Android, Camera, Pager, Photos
BigBlack - Big clock with bluetooth alarm
Pebblets
Pebble Dialer
Music Boss
Spoon for Foursquare - Original Foursquare is somehow broken in Slovakia, Spoon has much better accuracy
PebbleApps - for weather, sms
8/8
pretty satisfied with these settings. I would like to use Yelp, but this is a no go in Slovakia right now.
I have following apps:
Sleep as Android
YWEATHER as default watchface
Modern minimal watchface
PebbleApps
Battery Lifetime watchface
Dotswithdate watchface
Evernote apps
Do you know/have some app like SmartWatch+ (only iOS), but for Android devices? I need to have custom HTTP request function, nothing more
thanks for info
Glance + Pebble Tasker should do the trick
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Pebble Tasker + Tasker should be enough. Not tested - I have to prepare the equipment for it thanks!
Where do you guys get your watch faces? I read above yweather but didn't see in playstore nor apps store, unless I missed it.

I only have;
Notification Center
- like that you can clear notifications from the phone and vice versa (Android 4.3 and higher)
Sleep as Android (and paid for upgrades when I saw what it could do)
- much better than Morpheuz (in fairness appears to be much further along and the watchapp is a simple add-on to a well developed system, rather than vice versa)
Some Star trek-like watch faces that are okay looking and provide a bit more info.
I tried and deleted;
Motiv8
- a fitness watchface that tracks movement, guesses calories burned. seemed a little buggy and possibly interfered with other apps.
Glance
- didn't do enough and was buggy on the Pebble version/s I was running. Had issues with weather (and I only use official, localised weather sources anyway)

Adding features the one plus 5!

The purpose of this thread is simple...
To discuss anything that will truly add features to our phone... As we know this is a light skinned version of stock Android
And here I will be presenting links to apps and threads and everyone can contribute... Which add features to Op5...
Not just ui customizations..... Features...
Definition of a feature...
Something which your phone does which it couldn't do before that app..
So come on guys.. Lets start...
Though I did hate the laggy TouchWiz. I did live the s pen and S note...
And honestly speaking you wll too...
Let's try and customize our Op5.. To the extent that we want to...
This thread will present a series of apps and threads links etc..
Which will help the user to truly add whatever features they want from whatever skin htc sense Samsung TouchWiz to their op5
And I am no developer so please help me out here...

MacroDroid - Device Automation
MacroDroid is a powerful task automation and configuration app that focuses heavily on usability with a simple UI and logical step by step process.
Amazing UI. In my experience better than Tasker.
How about Always On AMOLED - BETA?
It's a simple app which keeps your screen on always (like MOTO devices). Nice and cool. If you pay a small amount you get an unlocked version with customization...
Loved the suggestions guys... Specially the always on amoled
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
I have two minor additions I'd want added:
1. More customizable theme colors (or honestly I just want red back!)
2. Invertable color option for the system tray
TL;DR add automatic rules
I had a note 5 I loved it, unfortunately it didn't like the hot tub.. TBH I never used the pen much, but when I did it was handy, perfect for field work; snap a pic, doodle on it, send it off. Awesome! I was torn between buying a note FE or the OP5, I'm glad I stuck with OP from a 2 to a 3 to a 5. I've become a flash-a-holic.
The feature I'd love to see is "automatic rules" you can actually get access to the setting on OOS if you have nova launcher, but it just doesn't work. I'm using "#1 profile" to automatically set the phone to priority only at bed time, this shouldn't be a difficult thing for OP to add/activate to OOS.
I'd also like the old dialer, or for that matter any other dialer, swipe down to answer for me is counter intuitive. Like thumbs up thumbs down, swipe up to answer, or swipe down to reject a call.
I wish you could choose the text bubble colour in the default sms app. Like textra or Google messages (too bad they don't have a dark theme for Google messages).
A setting to switch the wireless data indicator from 4g to LTE, I'm not sure why this bugs me, but it does.
How about Tiles? Also, Virtual Hosts is excellent for setting up a root free ad block. Just download one of Steven Black's host files from GitHub and point the app to it.
Would love for buttons and gestures (especially screen off) to be able to invoke app shortcuts. Just imagine the possibilities for Tasker.
Always on display.
Notification badges on the stock launcher so I can enjoy the shelf.

I don't understand why not a single stock ROM has long-press volume to skip track. Its such a simple feature. Its baked into every single custom ROM out there. It was there on Sony Ericsson phones (Walkman and K series). I need to get the damn phone out of the pocket, turn the screen on, unlock, open notifications shade, and press to skip a god damn song. (Not all headphones come with buttons, and not all headphones support skipping songs by multi-pressing the buttons.)
2 features I'd love added:
1. Long press back to kill app
2. Brightness slider in notification drop down. I know there is one, but you have to fully extend it to change it. My S7 had the option to place it in the first drop down.
Yeah I agree with most of you, some useful additions:
1. Badges on the Stock OP Launcher! I love it from my iPhone and sometimes forget to answer because I swyped the notification away and no badges to know there are still unread messages
2. Always On or something similar, but only if it doesn't use too much battery and no burn-in
3. Kill all apps in background with one button gesture
I'd love to see OMS commits get to OOS and probably experiment with the Kernel a bit (I know you can flash a custom, but if you'd like to stay complete stock, without unlocking). Maybe improve audio libs similar to ARISE....
How about a one-handed mode feature? That would be pretty helpful.
- Options to block QS & Power menu on secured lockscreen. (Smart Lockscreen protector app does the job, but it's service doesn't start at boot until the first unlock...)
- Skip music tracks using volume keys
- Built in Caffeine tile (the one from play store works well, but doesn't reset when turning screen off).
- Launch torch using power button long press when screen is off
- One-handed mode
- Center status bar clock
Hi guys,
1- badges for notifications. All my previous phones had this function.
2- more functions in auto mode for camera app, it's too basic for me. And in pro mode, I cannot set up the luminosity if the speed is in manual.
3- ultra power saving mode, like Samsung does, very useful when no more battery and we know no access to electricity for several hours.
4- Resize several pictures at the same time. Sometimes I need to send some pictures but the weight is too big.
1. Badges for unread msg or any notification
2. Always on
3. Camera should have more modes
4. Blurred wallpaper on lock screen
Always on clock
Ability to have status bar icons anywhere ie: signal on left
Ability to use dual cameras for wide angle
Ability to use normal USB-C to HDMI cables (not displaylink, Chromecast and wireless solutions are not fit for gaming, one of the 1+5s strongest points)
Screen off/on animation
List view animations
Full halo support
I'll think of more but that's my list of wants

Best AOD (even better then Samsung)

Hi to all,
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy
Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?
I tried this and the battery drain is high even with just the digital clock on.
Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.
I used it for half a day. But he consumes a lot of charge. I do not recommend.
Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.
Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.
I'm using this one, which is very good as well.

I think there's nothing which can be done about battery, whatever app you use it will always drain something.

It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.
It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.

Widgets Not Refreshing or Loading In Android 9?

So, I just upgraded to Android 9 and I use a lot of widgets for various news feeds, weather, baseball scores, etc. Most of my widgets are not refreshing (even when prompted on the widgets) or even loading (unless I take them off the homescreens and replace them).
This is happening with Falcon Pro, Tweetcaster, MLB At Bat, Eye In The Sky Weather, and Talon.
Please help me.
Happens to me with Timely, in fact, the app (alarm) does not even work at all and caused me a few missed days at work. But they haven't updated it for quite a while.
The problem is that in Device Care, we cannot white list apps anymore like we did in Oreo.

All the apps that i want to be able to talk on the background have the background allowance. And i am reluctant to disable battery optimization.
But that was not my point. On Oreo, you could black list apps (always sleeping) and white list apps (do not put to sleep) on device care/maintenance. In Pie, you can only black list.
Nevertheless, i think in my case it's the Apps fault. Last update was prior Pie release. However, the widget many times is at least an hour or two behind (a clock widget from the same app).
Thanks for the feedback.
I get your point.
You are right, the white-list is no more.
I had a similar problem with my widgets.
Using my settings above fixed it.
You can disable battery Optimization without hesitation, if the app itself does not suck your battery.
I configured, HD widgets for example, usage and have the same battery usage with and without battery Optimization.
Widgets not refreshing since Samsung update
I'm having the same issue...HD Widgets, Evernote, Business Calender (all widgets I've had for years and love) are not refreshing after I "wake" my phone or reboot. If I remove the widget from the screen and re-add them, they work fine...but I'm not about to do that every time my phone sleeps for a while. This is on my Galaxy Note 8 running Android 9.0.
Is there a fix? Thx

So, I just upgraded to Android 9 and I use a lot of widgets for various news feeds, weather, baseball scores, etc. Most of my widgets are not refreshing (even when prompted on the widgets) or even loading (unless I take them off the homescreens and replace them).
This is happening with Falcon Pro, Tweetcaster, MLB At Bat, Eye In The Sky Weather, and Talon.
Please help me.

So, for the apps I want to use widgets for, I need to turn off "Optimize Battery Usage" in the app's options?
OK, I think I've got it working now.
But, my Proximity Screen Off app keeps stopping.
One more pie related annoyance, what a pity
I have the above settings but several widgets still not working e.g. Google Fit. A cheeky app that still tracks you even with permissions denied.
Anyway, I have a Galaxy A10 Android 9.
It's become a major bugbear for me.
Can it be fixed? I can only update widgets when I manually go into the apps.
Cheers,

I always see this running in the background, I just disabled to see if there's any noticable differences. Any reason to keep this running?

Not that I'm aware. I freeze mine with TiBu without any problems.
It provides:
Live Captions
Recent apps overview text/image selection
App recommendations in app drawer of Pixel Launcher/recent apps overview

Thanks for the info my friend. Lucky for me, I don't use any of the things you mentioned. However, others that might need them will be happy to know this info :good:

Meh...each to their own my friend. I like my Nova launcher, with certain icon packs, and multiple screens. What's even funnier, I don't use AOD, active edge, soli, now playing, rarely assistant, smooth display, adaptive brightness, gesture navigation, or ambient eq. Shoot....I even drink milk straight outa the carton. I'm a 19th century man living in the 21st century!
However, I do like my add blocker, TiBu, custom kernel, KCAL control, and Swift Black theme, and my 8-11 hours of SOT over 2 days because I don't use social media or do gaming. So, I don't see me missing out on too much. After all, isn't that what android is all about....choice! :good::laugh:
I disabled it before and then quickly figured out what it was needed for and enabled it again. I use it all the time. Pixel launcher has spoiled me lol.

What differences did you notice? I haven't noticed any changes yet.

Swiping up a little on the homescreen to reveal most recent used apps is the biggest. That doesn't work when you disable device personalization sittings. I use it all the time.

I use Pixel 4a still running on Android 10. When I first started using the phone I noticed that "Android System" had a very high battery usage on my phone. It was always positioned at 2nd or 3rd in my battery usage list with like 10-15% battery usage, affecting my battery life. Compared to my other android phones with similar usage, it was higher on Pixel.
For a long time I couldn't figure out what caused it. Played around with many system apps by turning things on/off, turns out it was due to Device Personalization Services (now called Android System Intelligence). It had a high data usage when I checked it. I disabled it and it solved my problem. Now Android System drains just 3-4% of my phone's battery. I use 2 phones and bought Pixel 4a specifically for its camera. I don't use any of the Device Personalization Services and completely fine without it. So I'm mentioning my experience incase anyone wants to turn it off.
