Google Ears - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So reviews had this available and even accessible as a lock screen widget, but my N4 doesn't have it at all.
Is it a USA thing only, or did something change and it get left out?

It's handy. But I wish it would keep a history like similar apps do, e.g. Shazam and Soundhound. That and the lack of sharing features.

if you like something you hear you can tap the album art and bookmark it in the play store. you can also share from there.

Shame it does it the American way... 1:47 is NOT "A quarter of two" in the UK or EU (that I know of), it's "Quarter to two".
fuzzy clock widget is certainly similar.... it could be it. let me have a try of it.
Just tried it, and yes, fuzzy is what i was looking for.
Awesome! Cheers everyone, i knew someone here was bound to know!

The Youtube app is cooked into the ROM already. I have yet to see one, stock or custom that doesn't have it.

Look for the file 'youtube.lnk' in the Windows folder, and copy it Windows\Start Menu. Or find the file 'youtube.exe' and send it to the Windows\Start Menu as a shortcut.
You need to know how to mamipulate your filer explorer, whether it be the native Windows app, or a third party.

I was referring to the same one he was. I was hoping he would respond with more info. It looks like the problem is solved now as he was just missing a link and thought it disappeared.

This one allows you basics such as trimming and transitions and add effects and texts and your own music?

Same one I have. Unfortunately it's only available through Sammy's app store.. but it's probably ones of the best you'll find on android. It's probably the one category of app that lacks the most on android.

is there any app or tweak that allows us to write something on screenshot ?

as the title says, is it possible? i would love to be able to write on screenshot, it's helpful etc.
so if there is a way, please let me know.
thanks!

You mean like Snapchat? Text over a screenshot or drawing like in MS Paint? Just use a picture editor. Go to the Play Store and search for picture editor and find your favorite one. Dozens of options.

true ,but i was just thinking maybe there was one specifically for screenshots. (like the one in note and huawei mate phones)
but i think there is nothing like that for the nexus xD
i will stick to the editors like you suggested.
thanks for the feedback.

best choice trust me , owned galaxy's (s2/s5 note 4)
jumped to the nexus series in 2015 got nexus 6 loved it up until i noticed it had terrible banding, still used it for about 8 months , recently got the 6p (thankfully no banding) nothing beats stock android on nexus phones.
Screenshot crop and share on play store, just search it, some Roms even have it built in, can write, blur things out, all kinds of stuff

I use keep. I share the screenshot to keep, then write with the pen tool, and then share the note... which is shared as an image. Pretty effective way IMO if you don't want to have any extra apps lying around. You have to tap the share icon twice (one for the screenshot, another one after doodling) but you're gonna have to do that with pretty much every app.

Didn't even think to do this, saves installing another app.. gotta get used to it, but pretty useful.
Thanks

Good Lock 2018

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.
Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!
This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.
Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!
Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go
Can't find it in my Galaxy store. Can someone share the APK?

I actually like the fact that you can add it. I wish the whole Samsung UX was like that. If Samsung came with just stock android and you could pick and choose features you want to add. It would be freaking magical. ?

It seems like it is region locked or something..
Even if I table to grab the good lock apk, i still can't download additional files needed..

You can search xda for badlock, its an app that has all of goodlock's sub apps wich enables ypu to run goodlock on the phone. A simple youtube or google search will be sufficient

Have you tried using Aptoid? It's an alternate app store. I see it has Good Lock 2018 too.
For region-locked people, Bad Lock 2018 is your friend.

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.

Sometimes it's just easier with Aptoid. Download get the app you want. Uninstall. Apk mirror is also a great option. Thanks for sharing.
For reference these are the apps you may want to install:
Samsung Task changer
Routine
RoutinePlugin*
One hand operation
Samsung Quickstar
Edge touch
Edge lighting +
ClockFace
