I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual

To begin, a quick note about my absence from the android world.
Over the last year my work load has increased to about 80 hours/week, which I why I never share anything, or post much these days (when the sick/dying/disabled are waiting on my work, I find it hard to do anything else). So anything that I post comes with the disclaimer that I may, or may not, maintain the project (Work>Family>Android). As a side note, I recently won a very prestigious award in clinical science for development of a new method for survival analysis, and determination of treatment efficacy .
Thank you for reading, now on to my themed widget....

What is this?
Since I like the GV widget, but really hate the bright white look of it (especially with an ICS theme), I simply changed a few colors, added some alpha layers (i.e. transparencies), and made it more pleasing to look at. See the image below.

Not yet, but I do plan on theming the entire app.

Hi guys...I'm from the GT-I9100G forum......I'm running the latest cm9 on my phone...
Ok, back to my topic...When updating apps, it only downloads for a few percent as shown in Play Store...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But in my notifications drawer, it fills up very fast and the update is completed in a short while...faster then expected...but my apps still get updated magically!
It has been like this for many times...tried searching butI don't know what to search for...lol...so anyone else aware about this? My hypothesis is that Play Store only downloads the necessary files to 'patch' the existing apks...Is this possible?
Yes, you are right, actually. The Play Store now only downloads new content for each app, instead of downloading the entire app over again. Makes sense, especially for larger apps, like Death Rally, which is a 50MB initial download. VERY useful update for people who spend a lot of time on their mobile networks (not everybody has 4G or 4G LTE service available, or phones with those capabilities).
I noticed this behavior on my phone, and coincidentally read it online the next day on a random news post.
Wow...great feature......still remember the title of the news?kinda interested...

This is a fantastic little app, and is extensively praised for its simplicity and quality, and even by Google for its usage of the Google Play Services and Android location frameworks.
However, it is stated openly (even on the Google Play Store page) that our beloved Note II (N7100/N7105) cannot handle the app as the accelerometer cannot work when the screen is off.
SAMSUNG NOTE II INCOMPATIBILITY
Unfortunately, Samsung Note II cannot run its accelerometer sensor in the background.
We have tried different solutions, but we have not found a satisfactory way to support the device.
We would really like to support Note II and try to find a way in the future.

Surely, with the wealth of talented developers and ROM makers, technical wizards, and group knowledge, there must be a way to crowdsource a fix or workaround for the applications. We've seen in the past that some users have fixed problems, squashed bugs, and improve features on devices that even the manufacturers and app developers haven't been able to do.
Maybe we can all take a look at things?
Anyone want to help with the cause?

Sounds like you are using ok google through your phone and not through your watch.
what happens when you double tap the watch screen?
Do you get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if not, you don't have your watch set up properly.
I know how to use Google Now on smartwatch(like you said - double tap on screen),i am not a "man of the forest" .The problem appears to be due to the fact I selected in Google Now app from the phone my native language who couldn't be used with "Ok Google" either on the phone,either on the smartwatch.I selected "English(US)" and the problem seems to be solved.Thank you anyway.
p.s.: To explain more detailed : The problem was if I say someting on the Google app from the smartwatch with smartphone screen off it loads forever on the smartwatch(the problem seems to be only on languages who don't work native with "OK Google").
Glad you worked it out.
Hey,
I have just installed Resurrection Remix on my OnePlus X,
and sadly it doesn't contain that lock icon when viewing the Recent Used view (in order to completely shutdown apps),
If you didn't get me - I'm talking about the lock that makes it impossible to close an app that you've locked (by clicking on the lock).
I've tried searching for an app or something which can add that to my phone but couldn't find anything,
is there any way to get it back somehow? I really like that ROM and it works truly amazing on my OPX.

It's not possible... The lock is a feature of OxygenOS and it is not possible to use it on other ROMs because OxygenOS is closed-source.

Would like to update you on the matter: Paranoid Android 7.1.2 is coming to the OPX soon and will have the feature, so all you have to do now is wait
