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?

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.
Small request for someone knowledgeable to extract the Motorola Skip app that it might have the ability to be ported to another phone (though I'm sure there's a whack of framework addons as well)

If I recall correctly, isnt there like a playstore app mod that makes your phone seem like your phone is in another country so you can have access to that country's specific apps?
It's not looking for your country, it's a device block. The app you're thinking of is Market Enabler, but you still need a Moto X to download the apk

I don't have a Moto X but I tried several apps you talk about before and it never worked quiet right. Even changing my build.prop didn't allow me to download.

Isn't Skip just a Moto-branded NFC tag? If so theoretically any NFC reader would work with it, no? You could use Tasker to do x task when the Skip is read, I would think.
Or try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qnsolv.tag

Tasker lacks any and all NFC handling/interaction.
The NFC App you posted, lacks the ability to effect the lock screen.

I've actually got it to work. Although I'd love to still try the skip app.
I use tasker, NFC task launcher and secure settings. My razr HD is rooted and unlocked and the screen unlock only works reliably with the pattern lock (the pin lock got me unreliable unlocks). I use a Samsung tectile which I stickied to a duck tape loop which fits over my belt.

I want the skip app, too. Just to try it out
Although, from what I've seen in a review video, the app didn't seem to work as reliably as the tasker setup. Even if the screen was supposed to turn on once a tag was tapped, it mostly required you to turn on the screen and then tap the tag.
And honestly, I doubt that the skip app will just work on my razr HD without tweaking the app. I run stock Motorola Android 4.1.2, and for the phones settings I need secure settings app to change the system settings as the regular OS doesn't allow external apps to change the settings. But still, once the app becomes available, I'll give it a shot. Just like you said, it's just one app.

harika bir şey haklısın
I hope someone finds a way to use the skip and skip dots for something other than just unlocking. It's just too limited right now to be very exciting.

Well, considering how often I unlock my phone over the course of a day, it may not be exciting to just unlock, but it definitevely is convenient. Although I'd love Motorola to support other NFC enabled devices, too.
I can understand that they have this thingy for the Moto X exclusively (I mean it's one of their selling points), but if older phones can do, too, why not support it?
I created an automate task to kill S voice and to launch Google Now. This helps me use the active listening wake up command feature on my note 3 to use Google now like the Moto X does. https://db.tt/X7LZSrzR
Does anyone know of a way to make the Galaxy gear button launch S voice on the phone? I'm thinking that combination would allow for Google now use from the watch since the audio would be both sent and received from the watch itself via bluetooth.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
by default the svoice is launched by double pressing the power button
but you can change it worth any other app from the gear manager

The problem is that will only launch S voice on the Galaxy Gear which has limited features. I'm looking to make it launch S voice on the phone.

I'm still racking my brain trying to find a way. The best I've come up with so far is kinda blah but it works. I installed the eBay for gear app and assigned it to the gear button after a double press. The eBay app opens and you click the view on phone button. I created a automateit app task to kill eBay when it opens and to launch Google now instead.It would work a little better if I could get it to launch voice search instead of google now and then saying google to start the search but that is not an option in automateit. I can't figure out how to use tasker to save my life lol. The audio for Google now is played through the galaxy gear via Bluetooth. It's 3 button presses and you lose the eBay app on your phone to do this though
that's great news
hope some of the devs will jump in and help you
keep up the good work

Not really. I ended up going with the null rom to handle everything I wanted to do.

I too would LOVE to see Full S-Voice or Google Search/Google Now on the Galaxy Gear. That was the only reason that I spent 2 days trying to get the Null rom to work but couldn't. After rooting, I could never get the custom recovery to work. Everytime I tried to boot into recovery the watch would reset itself back to the default settings and I would have to reload everything all over again. After that happened over a dozen time I just gave up.
If anyone figures out a simpler way to get Google Voice Search working on the Gear please let me know...that's all I want, and the Null roms are a long tedious way of doing it for just that one function!

Installing null takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish so not sure how long it is taking you to make it long and tedious.
As far as the constant resetting issue you had, I can only imagine you never read the OP for installing TWRP because that issue is addressed in bold.
You might want to actually read the OP for 3 minutes before wasting hours of your time from not following directions and eventually end up breaking something.

Hey StaticMatt,
Thanks for the reply. However, I don't know if you install roms for a living or what...but my understanding is that to install the Null roms you first off have to root the Gear, and unless you already have the drivers, the .tar file...etc. that can take time to dl, extract, install, etc.
Then, a custom recovery has to be flashed (along with SU, which never worked either due to errors in MobileGo which you'll also need unless using ADB, in which case you'll need that, in order to push the apps). THEN and only THEN are you ready to install Null!
Although I'm not even close to an expert, I'm also not a NOOB either. I have 2 guides that I followed EXACTLY and neither worked, so with that along with the constant resets, it took a lot longer than 5 minutes for all 3 procedures!
I'll check the info I have against the instructions/guide here in this forum and maybe try it again when I have more time, but if you were trying to say that the info here is better/more precise than maybe YouTube videos then why not just say it? But don't insult me as if I haven't done any homework first. I have 7 Android devices (6 of them I've rooted). I've been on Android since the start and I am very aware of the risks of bricking so I never take such procedures "lightly."
Hopefully, once trying it again, someone else will come to my aid with some actual "help" if I get stuck, instead of attitude and sarcasm. But thanks again at least for the reply.
Questions (regarding the Null roms on the Galaxy Gear):
* First off, I apologize if any of these questions have already been answered but...
1.) I noticed that everyone that is running Null on their Gear has a watch face that looks more like a phone home screen than an actual watch. So does the gear have to look like that when running this rom, or can one still run apps like Watch Styler and still have "full screen" watch faces without the 4 little apps buttons at the bottom of the face?
2.) Once running Null can you set the double-tap launch app to Google Search using the Gear Manager? This is really my main goal. I'd simply like to be able to double-tap my watch button and give Google Search my voice commands, so I don't want to find out after hacking that you can't set it up that way for some reason.
3.) When on Null, can you still have all the same Gear functions like the Media Controller, Notifications, Pedometer, Voice Memo, etc. or would I then have to run all full apps like Google Music, PowerAmp, etc.?
4.) Lastly, how easy is it to revert back to stock if not liking Null? Would I have to reflash the stock image, and if so, how in depth is that process? I'm guessing that I would just open Odin and reflash the one file, but I'd like someone to confirm that please if you don't mind.
Modding this watch seems a bit different than all the phones that I've modded with custom roms (i.e. even the way apps are loaded is quite different in that you can't just attach to a PC via USB and simply drag & drop anymore. It's now all Wondershare MobileGo or ADB and all).
Thanks.

1) these 4 little icons is the dock. most of us are using nova launcher, i personally disabled the dock because it's not necesarry to keep these items on top all the time.
2) i'm not sure if that is possible. perhaps if you don't use nova launcher but something else, you can keep the double tap shortcut. mine is set to power on/power off the screen.
3) you can use 'stock' apps with no issues. i'm using pedometer, notifications and media controller. for the rest i found a replacement apps.
4) i never done it, but it will be 'as easy' as putting custom rom on it. but frankly.. there is no reason not to have null. you can keep null rom and just use stock launcher if that's your liking..

Thanks so much Hurdlejade! I really appreciate your response. It's also good to know that what I'm ultimately trying to do with Null may not even be possible (setting double-tap to Google Search/Google Now). I wish the Galaxy Gear version of S-Voice was much better!!!
I really want to be able to invoke Google Now with a double-tap as well, but have had no luck so far.
An alternative that I'm using that is also very convenient is to assign Google Now to one of the long-press button on UDN.
It's more difficult to invoke if you aren't in a situation where you can easily perform the swiping (like driving), but it beats having to scroll through home screens or the app drawer to get to it.

I use gmd gesture control. You can set a gesture like a double tap for opening an app like Google now. I also use gestures to launch tasker tasks.

Are you looking for screen recording? Like a video? That is built in as well but I don't remember that one.

I tried it before posting and it just lowered volume tried again and worked instantly must have something to do with way I held the buttons. t/u

If I were you I would go and download/install Xposed for LP (there is a thread in XDA.) Then go and d/l the Sense 6 Toolbox (once Xposed is installed and activated make sure you go into Options/Settings and allow for BETA version.)
Once you have Sense 6 TB installed you will have the option to take screenshots by long pressing one of the buttons. I use this option instead of the stock options.

Or, you can add Screenshot as one of your Quick Settings options. As for changing the default save location....not sure about that at all. Have you tried using a Google search for that method?

Its not possible without editing the framework, you can use third-party apps like tasker to schedule copies made from internal to external though, as for stock get with your rom dev and see if they'd incorporate a switch for you.
T/u all
Always search 1st and t/u all but didn't want 3rd party app was just interested in trying to change default save location. With all that we do I thought someone might have a way to change it via SQL editor or some sort of flash.

Most important is the clipboard
"Other keyboard like Gboard and swiftkey has that feature"
Yes I know, but the samsung keyboard have the clipboard that I can access even when i'm typing (I need this feature), on Gboard and Swiftkey, I can't access the clipboard when I'm typing (only can access when I'm not typing anything).
I can access the clipboard while typing no problem on SwiftKey
Try googling the APK online
agree with u Sam. KB the best ever i still looking for it
I kind of miss my old samsung keyboard too. Coming from the old tab s2. I miss the ctrl a and ctrl v shortcut.
I am pretty certain I tried to get this over the summer with either this phone or my pixel 3 and if I remember correctly I spent about a day on it and looked like I needed the samsung framework and could not get it to work unfortunately.....
