Hello guys Thanks for the add.
I recently purchased an Amazfit Verge and I'm very impressed with the functionality of the watch. I am wondering if you can have more than two widgets available to use at a time. Everytime I try to add more, I get a message stating that "up to two widgets can be setup." Is there a way to get round this or am I stuck with only two widgets to swipe thru. Not a big deal but just wondering. Fantastic product.

I downloaded the 30-day trial of the app CarHome Ultra. This app is excellent and it functions automatically when using the Motorola Car Dock.
The main reason I have chosen this over the built-in car dock is the way it shows the speed, location, compass, and weather from the main screen. These items display in a green font on a black background.
With the built-in car dock app, you have to select the map icon, and then it only shows speed and direction in an overlay on the map. The overlay is hard to read because the font is very light gray over the whitish background of the map.
I have decided to purchase the full app for $1.99. There are also a ton of customization options. Finally, it has performed flawlessly for me and seems to start up faster than the built-in option.
Has anyone else tried this app out?
Thanks for the review!
I've purchased it as well but recently uninstalled it. Go Contacts didn't support landscape mode and I'm a stickler for aesthetics (aka a big whiney ***** LOL). But now they've updated it and I thought about installing it again.
The developer is great too. I don't have a bluetooth device to use but I asked that he put in an option for automatic speaker phone mode when CarHome Ultra is in use. He added it within a couple of days and has always been very good with supporting the program.
It does look a little ugly but I'm actually going to reinstall it today. Travelling to the US again and it'll definitely come in handy. I like that you can set the GPS intervals and other very handy options as well!
thanks for the info, looks nice, much better than stock. I hate looking at all those stupid stars lol.
Greetings friends,
[Q] Is it possible to have my RSS feed or my calender, say upcoming events, displayed on the lock-screen?
You don't have to read below this line. Appreciate your help, thanks.
Now before you judge this redundant, I would like to inform you that I've already done some research and already tried a couple of options, namely an app called "lock-screen calender" and a number of lock-screen replacement apps. I've encountered some difficulties on a number of them and maybe even discovered a flaw or two in some apps. For instance, I've found that on my device (GSMRAZR:2.3.6 stock rooted) every time I hit the home button soft key while on Go launcher's lock-screen, it takes me straight away to my home-screen, bypassing the pin security option of the Go launcher lock-screen itself!!
I intend to write to the developers of that app about it after I receive confirmation from other GSM RAZR users, you know just to be sure it's not just me.
Widget Locker on Play Store.
thank you but
Thank you for suggesting widget locker. I've seen this app but have been reluctant to try it since I've heard complaints of battery drain among other things. I will give it a try, eventually, but would like to know your experience with this app and if there is any other options. Say a mod to the original RAZR lock screen, which I am really keen on.
Battery drain *is* a problem. 12-15% in my case.
You can also try Go Locker and create your own theme.
Hi there,
For all the Tasker fans out there; with the Tockle app you can start Tasker tasks straight from your G Watch.
Those who are familiar with Tasker know this makes the G Watch possibilities (almost) endless.
It's in beta right now but works great!
You have to join the Tockle community on Google+ to download:

Very very happy with this so I thought let's share
I currently only control my lights with my G Watch but many many projects to follow.
*edit: I made a typo in the topic title: apps should obviously be tasks. My bad :s
Tockle is great and shows real potential, the dev seems really helpful as well.
Trigger is another app that lets you control tasker tasks from Wear, (you need to create a task as if its an NFC trigger and skip the Tag writing stage), then you can choose the task from the companion app that installed on the watch, the good thing about trigger is that you get more than one task to scroll through on one screen.

This can be done with the Wearable Widgets app that's been available for a while. Just create a widget for the task you want and just swipe through all the available ones on the watch. Simple.
being a big user of tasker i love this app esp since all my home lights and garage door are programmed through my tasker along with a million other tasks, quick question does anyone else experience lag time when saying "ok google...start action set"? When i launch it from the side bar its extremely fast and responsive but when trying to do full voice its very laggy in getting to that next screen.
as for the person that mentioned wearable widgets, id much rather this app over that only due to the battery drain that i've seen from that app (wearable widgets)
Hi
I've been considering the LG V10 and wanted to hear from the XDA community on how useful the 2nd screen actually was. Is the second screen more than a novelty? What do you use yours for? What apps can utilize the 2nd screen? How often do you use the 2nd. screen and how does it effect battery life?Screen caps would be welcome.
It's a useful novelty, I wish they would have bumped up the front facing cameras and gave us the option to have a 5.9 inch screen. Useful for checking time w/out unlocking phone as we as being able to change songs w/out unlocking especially useful while driving
I really enjoy the lack of notification cards on the main screen. The past few phones I've had (Note 5, Nexus 6, S6 Edge) have all had the Lollipop style cards that block way too much of the screen. With this phone, the notifications just go to the secondary screen so you can keep focus on what you're doing but still be able to see it. Also, the music controls have been amazing so far and it makes it so much easier as you don't have to pull the shade or switch apps to change tracks or pause (Noticing a trend here lol?). And finally, I use it for having favorite contacts set up (similar to the only good concept of the edge IMO). Hope this helps, so far I love this phone!
I am loving the second screen and find it very useful.
For shortcuts I have tapatalk, chrome, maps, camera and settings.
I love that it also has the 5 most recent apps. I came from a note 2 and waiting for long press for the recent apps was a pain! Of course this phone has a button for that anyway but I still like having them just sitting up there.
I am also using the contact shortcuts to try to replace my direct dial and text shortcuts I had on my home screens. I'm still trying to get used to that.
I definitely like that the date and time is always showing so I can check without waking the phone.
I also recently discovered that if I swipe over to the left when the main screen is sleeping there are shortcuts for the camera, flashlight, Wi-Fi toggle and sound /vibrate toggle.
I love it.
So far I think I'm using the app shortcuts the most.

BTW guys, not exactly related to the secondary-screen alone but how is the "alt-tab" performance; toggling between recent apps?
Say you cycle between the 5 recent apps; do they pop-up just immediately without any delay and at the exact point where you have left the app? (i.e. a web page doesn't reload, Twitter doesn't refresh like you are opening the app for the first time).
So far I really like the second screen. I keep having an issue where my Hangouts keep showing up as the big banner across the screen (sms seems to show on the secondary though). I also with when the screen was off it would show the whole notification, not just the icon. It would also be nice to choose how long the notification stayed on the second screen. I feel like it pops up and goes away so fast.
I wish the quick contacts could be set as direct dial. I will never use on of those icons to text. I need quick to just dial the primary contacts I have.
Two words: Spotify controls.
Spotify's lock widget was awful, and it always frustrated me that I had to unlock the phone to restart a song. Now I don't even have to turn the lock screen on to do it. This alone made love the second screen.
I thought it might be gimmicky, but I like using it to switch between apps and the music control is nice.

Generally yes, the ram management is very good
I find it useful. Even if u don't plan in using it shouldn't be a bother.
App switching is better, faster since you don't have to flip through cards. I always preferred the old school Android where it just showed the app icons of previous apps
Google Now cards flash with basketball game scores without interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Same with calls. They show up on the second screen.
Been using the Pace for a couple of months now, and there is just one thing left which is bugging me:
After swiping left to get to the list of exercises, it seems the order cannot be changed. For example, I play tennis (it's at the bottom of the list grr) as well as running and cycling - I would prefer these activities to be at the top of the list, moveable in the same way as the apps and widgets to the right of the clockface.
Can this be done?
I use Amazmod as well as having tried out Springboard, but as far as I can see, there are no options to change this list order.
Hi! I'm looking for a solution too. Did you change exercise order in Amazfit Pace?
