We know there is an issue with not all notifications going to the Gear.
We can solve this with Android 4.3 and new notification access APIs.
I am working on an app for the Gear to do this - I will keep everyone updated on this thread.
Awesome thanks

The notifications API would give the Gear access to the content so it can actually be displayed or is it to mirror whatever is in the notification bar ?
Great!!
Awesome!!!

Is there a published ..something.. about this issue, because I'm only getting a small fraction of sms/email, which is the most important thing for me. Hoping you can do better then Samsung!!
There is an app called Pebblify which is exactly what the gear needs.
You choose which notifications to push to the gear, and it pretty much sends exactly what is in the notification bar to it.
That said, I really like the gear notifications now which I can push a button on the gear and pull my phone out of my pocket and go straight to the message.
Yup, but I guess thats doable. It really is only a matter of figuring out what type of guesture is used there. Maybe nfc proximity? not sure.... anyways once thats figured out, sending the intend should be trivial.

In the gear manager, settings, then select notification, you can select which notifications appear. I have turned off Google+ and GMAIL. I don't use gmail, because I have several email addresses and only want one place to check. But the email app works great and sends most of the email to the gear. Hope this helps!

Not quite the same thing. Check out Pebblify in the market and you will see what I mean. You can have any notification from any app pushed to the Pebble verbatim as it appears in the notification pull down.
That is only part of the equation. The native notification app is just too limited. Ultimately I want to see the same notifications I get on my phone, and the ability to jump directly to the item when clicking the notification or using the gesture.

Yes, I agree with that as well, but to be fair you are comparing V2 Sony to V1 Gear. The Gear will get there also, remember the Sony didn't have that out of the box either.
The Gear's 3rd party software is just starting!
Hence I want to see it eventually. But from what I played with so far with the gear none of the features I mentioned are out of scope for a decent notification app.
I dont expect it to be release over night though or even with all the functionality I would like
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The notifications are really a huge drawback on this beautiful device.
I turn off messaging notifications and use sms popup and it won't show up on the GG. Google Voice is a no show.
Really hope a 3rd party app can address this massive shortcoming as it appears Samsung has no intention to.
Please enlighten us how development is going??
Hmm i would like to know that too. If what I read is correct, an app on the phone that subscribes to the NotifiactionListenerService should receive all or a limited set of notifications on the phone. If a companion app on the gear can communicate with the app ( not sure how the new BT stack works but I guess it could be in the form of writing to a Parcel, receiving it on the companion app, and pushing the notification content to the screen..... ) it would allow all notifications to display and not just the ones the Gear Manager allows currently.
I will start experimenting a bit with how the gear and phone communicates and how an app could possibly either hijack this channel or create it's own. It would be great if anyone who has more development experience in android join in to see this through.

I'm looking to do some fancy things with my Nexus 6 and I'm thinking I could probably do it with automation, but I'm new to the world of automation. First of all, if this is posted in the wrong section my apologies.
I want, at the designated time, for my Nexus 6 to cast its screen to my Chromecast automatically. For example, my alarm goes off at 9:30am, so at 9:29 I want my Nexus to open up the Clock app, cast its screen to my Chromecast, at which time my alarm will go off through my surround sound speakers, and I'll easily be able to see the time on my TV (I'm blind without my glasses).
Is any of this possible with automation? I tried the free Tasker app but couldn't find any Chromecast or cast screen option for actions. Since screen cast is built in for Android 5 I figured this could be easier to achieve, but like I said I've never used automation before so I am unsure. Can anyone give me some advice on how I can accomplish something like this?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Never used it, but I know there's a Tasker plugin called AutoCast. Should probably be what you need...
It's on Play store
I tried AutoCast but it doesn't seem to do what I need it to do.
I found "Cast Screen" under apps in Tasker, it does exactly what it should I suppose. It launches Cast Screen but I need it to also automatically select my Chromecast so that it actually casts my screen. Still stumped for now lol

Tasker can do input (button presses) up, down, select etc
If rootSU's suggestion don't work, try another Tasker app: AutoInput.
Tasker can do many things, best is to google what you want to do, likely someone has already done it.....
I have a GS6 64GB running the latest OTA and rooted on Ping Pong Root. I am trying to automate starting my wifi hotspot and the third party apps don't seem to work so I figured I would use tasker to input a couple of taps but the command won't run. Wondering if anyone else has run in to this. I have given tasker root privilege and enabled its accessibility setting. The circle in the tasker UI goes red and it never completes the task. I never had an issue on my GS5. I tried the swipe command as well with the same outcome. I also opened a terminal window to run the command and it said the tap command didn't exist. I ran the swipe command in terminal and it worked but taskers run shell > input swipe didn't. Any help would be great. Ultimately I want a way to get Wifi hotspot to turn on when it sees my cars bluetooth. I have AT&T so i need to swipe on then verify so it is a couple steps.
I've been trying to do the exact same thing with no luck. I replicated the same thing on my s4 that I recently got running lollipop. Not sure if its a Samsung lollipop issue or a lollipop issue in general.
The only thing I was able to do to make it easier was add a quick settings toggle to enable it. Makes it a little easier. I just wish I could get rid of the warning about turning wifi off and having to tap ok.

After doing some research I found its an issue with new 64 bit devices. Anyway I found a work around using secure settings plugin. The input tap command works if you use the secure settings plugin and put the command in there.

That's good to know. After I was able to accomplish that. It just the secure setting method to activate WiFi hotspot and the tasked WiFi tether function and they both work now. I didn't notice am update to either but I'm glad it work now.

I'm curious what you did to make the wifi hotspot functions work in securesettings? I'm rooted with pingpong but if I run a task to enable wifi hotspot it fails every time.

It works in secure settings and just the wifi tether in tasker. I'm not really sure what I did. Used the input tap method to activate it. And tried after that and it worked. Didn't try it right before that tho. I'm running stock rooted oe2 (I think that's it, the update). I have the WiFi tether mod installed but that's only to get rid of the verify process it did when I turn it on. It didn't work after that I tried.

Is it possible to share apps installed via the Google Play Store with a child profile? They work fine on my main (adult) profile, but I can only figure out how to share apps installed via the Amazon store with a child profile.

Now that we have root, you can download your app, back it up with titanium backup, then re-install it your child's profile.

Before parting with the £4 for the pro version, will this definitely work? The Child Profile on the Amazon Fire looks heavily locked down and doesn't appear to use a normal launcher. I'm after getting Kodi on to the kids profiles but not having much luck so far. I'm rooted already and using Google Now as my launcher on the adult profiles.
Thanks
Mike

It is easily possible like this:
Install CM 12.1 --> Flash Gapps (Pico .zip) or install Amazon Appstore --> Install any/all apps you want --> Now go to settings app and create your childs profile --> Check any apps you want to share with your childs profile --> boot into kids profile --> PROFIT!

Are you able to get the app to "lock" so the kid can't just hit the home button and it exits the app?
I've tried a few different apps and they all require you to enable "Apps with usage access" in order to lock them, which you can't seem to access on the Fire.

Any way to do this with out flashing CM? Not possible on current 5.1.1 yet and really don't want to change it on my kids tablet. I see TiBu on the Amazon Store (but doesn't look like the real Dev and it costs $). I got them loaded on the adult profile, and I really don't want him to waste his time gaining levels again. Thanks.
---Just an FYI the Titanium Backup on the Amazon store seems legit (but my previous key didn't work with it). Still no luck because you cant restore without changing the settings to allow instillation from unknown sources which you cant do in the Kids Mode.
Also curious on installing Google play apps on kids profiles
Lollipop launcher works quite well. You can determine which apps to show in the drawer and lock down the main screen.

I tried it, but now Amazon doesn't allow you to change the launcher so the option to "lock" the home button doesn't work. It still works, but it shows an "action forbidden" screen, the shows the home screen for a few seconds, then re-launches the app. It's not an ideal solution, because a quick thinking youngster can simply launch the settings app in this interim period, and then go uninstall the app.
I just want to get YouTubeKids on my kids' profiles, but I'm not going to go through rooting etc. just for one app. For now, if they want to watch YouTubeKids, it must be at home where I can monitor it and I just log into my own profile and launch it.
I assume that it has something to do with those apps being linked somehow to amazon's app store, so if you figure out how to do that, then it may work.

Hey everyone!
I just recently made the switch to the Note 5 (loving it), and have ONE question to ask..
In Multi-screen mode, it seems only a few are allowed to utilize this. Is there a tweak that can enable this for ALL apps in the recents menu??
For example, there have been a few times where I wanted to use Settings and Messages Classic (a playstore app) to copy some stuff, but neither have the option.
Thanks in advance!
Believe its possible with root but not stock
