Google now launcher - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no lock screen and I have enabled Google now OK Google from anywhere. But without a Lock screen OK Google makes the normal sound but does not function properly. Can someone else replicate this with no lock screen and let me know if why your screen is off and you say OK Google if it functions properly? When I have a lock screen it works fine when screen is off. Thanks

No one had tried this? Can someone attempt this please and report? Just select no lock screen and have Google anywhere activated for when the screen is off and say OK Google and see if it works properly. Someone please. And thanks

What's up Simms? Thanks. I didn't have this issue on 5.0. I never use a lock screen and it worked as it should before updating. Thanks for giving this a shot for me. Sorry I didn't see any threads about this.

[Q] what flashlight app do you use?

any recommended lightweight app?
I use the torch built into Gravitybox

droidlight - its all budget all the time but its from Motorola Mobility, so it should be 100% safe to use.
Torch toggle from gravitybox.
Does it make much difference? I am using the Motorola one but I'm wondering why you would ask - do different apps provide a brighter light?
The one I linked above is super simple.open it, the light turns on.open it again, it turns off.easy as could be

I'm not sure what is the Motorola one? Do you mean Droidlight LED Flashlight? Looks it will automatically turn off when screen time is up.

That's the Droidlight LED Flashlight, I saw some comments that it will automatically turn off when the screen time is up, do you have the same issue?
No, but motto puts a time limit on the led. I assume it is to protect the led from over heating.

Been using this one since my Driod 1. Lets you use screen or LED and seems to be very lightweight (would have posted the actual link, but I never really posted to XDA... just mainly read. Need to get rid of the stupid post restriction)
I use the flashlight in Power Toggles. I keep a set of toggles on a lock screen widget (WiFi, sound mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, GPS) and the flashlight is one of them.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
TeslaLed, you can set a widget with it that automatically turns it on. It also has strobe options I believe. But it also works great with Tasker as it is built in as a plugin or 3rd party options. I exported an app with Tasker App Factory so I can activate it via voice as well.

Wow that loaded up fast for you when you booted into Ubuntu. I've tried doing that 3 different times with 3 different downloads and gave it 10 minutes each flash to boot up and nothing. I spent a few hours today trying to get it to work but sadly it just doesn't boot for me.

So far these are the issues currently Working:
WiFi , camera , front & back , flash light. Vibration and touch screen and making and receiving calls but u don't get no sound. Oh and sms works and the keyboard works for me.
What doesn't work for me is sound or camcorder or data.

Weather not animated anymore?

Since the 4.4.2 update, the weather app doesn't show the animations for the weather.. It is still even in the demo. Anyone else experienced this? I'm on 4.20.707.7 stock

Soft keys

Could someone upload or post link to the soft keys apk. I've deleted something or changed build prop or something and have lost my soft keys. I've got LMT launcher working and gravity box pie available but would like to have the soft keys just in case one of the pies fails. Thanks.

wase4711 had the same issue and he couldn't figure it how to get them back. He was within his 14 day window and was lucky to get his swapped out. Maybe ask him what all he tried. I don't even think a factory reset brought them back. Maybe the LG tool?
I looked in system /app and didn't see softkeys. Apk
Sent from my LG-LS995 using Tapatalk
I dont see that file either, so it might not be what the problem is.
When it happened to me, I was within my 14 days, so I didn't bother trying to restore, I just exchanged it.
I tried everything, including a factory reset, and nothing helped.
At this point, I think I would use the lg flash tool, and restore to stock with the T-mobile .kdz file,unless you happened to have a buildprop backup
Another reason why I'm sticking with stock. I know this would happen to me and I don't need that headache. lol

I would try to download GMD auto hide soft keys or whatever its called to try to toggle hiding the navbar and then enabling it worked for me one time on my RAZR
Sent from my LG-D959 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for looking guys. I still haven't gotten my stock soft keys back but I found and xposed module that creates, themes, and mods soft keys specifically so I installed it and I actually like it better due to the auto hide and the themes for the soft keys.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
What module is that??
Its a mod for xposed installer called "UDN PRO"
Ultimate Dynamic Navdar Pro I think I got it on the play store though. It works great. No issue with starting after boot or anything. No issues so far.

I wish I would have known about this before returning my first flex when the buttons disappeared!
now that you can make the navbar go away, have you tried installing Themer? I doesnt work on the flex, because of the native navbar, but I wonder if it would work now with this mod enabled..
Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Is there a module on Xposed to hide the stock trigger? I immediately got UDN pro just for the customization aspect, and love it, but I can't find a way to get rid of the ugly stock trigger, unless I go the "dangerous route" as the app calls it lol..
I don't know for sure. I was deleting bloat or what I thought was bloat and must have accidently deleted the touch keys app or something. That's what caused me to search and find that apk and it is an exposed mod or at least listed on my exposed module list.

Understood and duly noted! Now if we can just find out what exactly it was that you deleted, that would be great!
That's been my whole reason for the thread. Cuz at first I was trying to get them back. But now I'm not so sure I want them back.

Guys, I finally found something that seems to work! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys with root permission of course! With an in-app purchase of 3 bucks, IIRC, you get the pro version, which allows more customization.. And you can hide the stock soft keys completely, even while in system settings
