[Q] Google Messenger with People Edge - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Is there a way to get google messenger or other third party texting apps to work with people edge? The stock messaging app is decent but of course google's is better. I just don't want to lose this functionality.

I have tried and gotten nowhere. It gives me room for doubt that it is possible to integrate with a third party SMS app.

Thanks for your reply. Didn't Samsung release an sdk for integration? Maybe we could try to entice someone to use it? (if it exists)

[Q] HTC One multitasking

Is it the same restrictive/sucks as HTC One X, or does it follow the AOSP multitasking performance/experience?
It's the same

If no developer has yet added the tweak to switch between stock android multitasking and HTC's version, I'd say try a different launcher.
I haven't had anything reload or refresh yet with my One. I usually have the apps running and use home to back out of them and the multitasking menu to go to another app. I'm sure it'll call me a liar and reload something today now i've posted this lol.

The two developers who did apparently took the feature out? I don't think the multitasking/recent apps function is built into the launcher...it's built into the SystemUI, I think?

As I've had to tell other people, the One X did not have "sucky" multitasking, it was just limited by only having 1GB of RAM.
This device has 2GB of RAM, and because of that, I've seen apps stay in the background for hours. I played Pinball Arcade for about 2 hours last night, came back to Chrome and it was still fully loaded with the website.
The only reason ASOP ran better with multitasking is because it started with less crap in RAM (such as all the Sense UI).
Do we have a new feature with Lollipop update such as multi tasking? For example; can I write a message on whatsapp while I listen music on youtube?

Multitasking is there since the beginning...

No and its not a "lack of multitasking" issue. You can not "listen" to Youtube in background (unless you are using a 3rd party app). Its a built-in restriction in the Youtube app. Google want you to subscribe to their "Google Play Music All Access" paid service so they will obviously not provide you free music via Youtube...
I also presume that there are some other reasons why they blocked this app in background mode, probably some copyright and advertisement issues..

Who asked "can I write a message on whatsapp while I listen music on youtube?"
If you wanted to know if Lollipop update enabled some Touchizz multi-windows features designed for phablets and stylus then don't ask if you can "listen to youtube while doing other stuff" and then saying that Im answering something you didn't asked...
You asked a simple and precise question, I gave you a simple and precise answer.
So I presume your question was:
Q: Does lollipop on the M7 enabled multi-windows features like its possible to do with Samsung's Touchwizz?
A: No.

Record calls

I would like to know if there is decent (if any at all) app to record calls. I am basically concerned about 920 lumia but I guess its the same for all WP8 phones.
I don't think it's possible since WP8 Apps work in a sandbox, so no app can interfere with another app (like e.g. Phone App and a recorder app.)

so you're saying this is architecturally not possible? it's not something they can just "enable" in a future release? (this is the only thing holding me from buying a WP8 phone, record calls is part of my list of basic things a phone must do )
Well, if Microsoft wants it to be possible it will be possible. But at the moment, no third party app can record calls.

Yup, that is an option I use often too.
Fyi we can vote for this feature here on windowsphone.uservoice.com. search for "call record" there's one with over 1000 votes already

[Q] Best Firewall app?

Well I've searched around this forum and found that there wasn't a thread about firewall apps.
My question is: Which app have you tried and found that it works perfectly for you?
My main goal here is to limit some apps from using up my mb's when I'm away from my wifi.
So which app do you guys recommend?
P.S. obviously this might require root which isn't a problem.
A firewall for a phone ? ? Seriously.... It's as useless like many fake antivirus for phones.... Just not install useless and strange apps from other sites, and don't clic on EV every link you receive

Umm...if it wasn't clear from the post, what I meant by firewall is an app that'll prevent installed apps from using up my internet data bundle.
A lot of cariers, including mine, don't offer cheap unlimited data bundles and, hence, I have a need to stop certain apps from accessing the internet when not on wifi.
My question has nothing to do with security.
FW
I'm using the FireWall Plus
And I'm quite happy with it... You can choose if you want block/allow Data/Wifi ... one or both :good:

Well I gave Firewall Plus a fair day's trial, for the most part, it works nicely.
But google now and google chrome seem to be blocked even though they are white listed in the app which is weird. Do I need to check something else for them to work?
Btw, I know the app was set up properly since other apps such as whatsapp to receive Internet while others like facebook don't.

Personally I use black list... so I check GSM or Wifi or both, click to "Save rules" in the top menu and it works... I never had any trouble with it :angel:
I might be something "deeper" of app networking... I would suggest to report it to coders of FP.
I would highly recommend DroidWall...best ever..

[Q] Best way to hide settings (getting first phone for a kid)

Is there some app to manage the phone? Or perhaps there's a way to do this without 3rd party apps?
Basically we got our daughter her first phone ever 2014 MX and just in case I'd like to lock it down as much as i can. I don't mind her using apps and obviously calling but I did set a limit on data and in general i don't want her any any of her friends to potentially screw with settings.
Thanks!
Oh yea, running Lollipop
You could set her as a guest account. Not sure what that would lock down, try it. And you can set a data limit. Both in stock settings
I use this for all my kids tablets. Works great

Call Recording without root

Hello
I would need to record some call but I cannot find app in store that allowing that. I'm european and seem here Google banned the feature from Phone stock app.
Do you have some suggestions?
Thank you!

It's not in the stock app anymore. From what I remember it was short lived. If it is still available (which I'm almost positive it's not) it is probably US only.
You can get one of the many recorder apps from the Play Store. I can't recommend one since I've never used one.
Thing is though, most if not all won't record the other's voice on a regular phone call. If you go to speakerphone however, you'll be able to here both sides of the conversation.

I tried some apps from store, but all of them not working properly... Honestly, I was hoping there was an app outside the app store (like the MiX file manager) that worked good.
