Question 1: if I buy an app, lets say tasker, and then i want to install that app to my girlfriends phone.. Would it be enough to restore the App from my titanium copy? Or will it say her phone does not have the license? Is this possible and legal or i gotta buy another app? Seems unfair if I have to...
Also even if not possible for my gf to get the App will it be possible for me to install it in my tablet?.. Using the same google account or could I use another account? Need to clear out this
Question 2: little tutorial for tasker?, i want to do something, im from south América meaning my phone and keyboard (i use swiftkey x pro) are in spanish, but in xda for example i only write in english.. And its annoying the typo corrector since the keyboard its in spanish and every word i type its redlined.. So i Wonder if with tasker i could do something like change swiftkey lenguage to english when i open xda and when i close it, keyboard goes back to spanish

Definitely not legal to just pull the .apk and move it to another phone that didn't buy it. Obviously there are shades of grey here (it's just your GF's phone) but technically you shouldn't be doing this.
If you use the same GMail account and use that as the "Play Store" account you're signed into on both phones, then you should be able to re-download it on either device once it's purchased. This would work best if you each have your own GMail account for personal use, then a "shared" GMail account for app purchases. Otherwise, you'll each have access to the other's emails, contacts, etc..

In reference to question 1.
I had tried installing bionic bootstrap on my girl's bionic after purchasing it on mine. I added my account to her phone and installed it successfully. Used it once when rooting her phone but once my account was no longer the main one being used it disappeared from her apps. As for using it on another device that is yours, that'll work just fine.

Haven't heard about how to do this...
Your apps are tied to your Gmail account, plain and simple. You can have 5 phones running all with your same Gmail account and have all your apps on each.
But you can't give paid apps to other accounts. And I don't think there is a way to switch accounts that I've ever heard.
Sure you can just pull the apk and give it to someone, hacking, but not officially.
Ok so thats clear now... But no1 is answering my second question about tasker :S

I personally want to use my normal GApps account on glass, but google hasn't let us in yet and forces us to use gmail... I'm tired of using two accounts.
I believe we can get other accounts onto glass. This could be done by accessing the settings activity and adding our normal gmail account. the only problem is that there is no native com.android.settings app installed on glass which kind of ruins it.
anyone want to help me with this project??
PS. I'm doing this WITHOUT root/voiding my warranty.

Without root? Most likely not possible because you can't install the package "com.android.settings" without pushing it to "/system/app" on the device I dont' think.
I dont think this belongs to dev session
but I believe in a custom firmware can solve this issue perfectly

I disagree, the ability to use a gapps account is not simply just blocked on the Glass directly but it is also blocked in the MyGlass system. I just got through moving to a GMail Address for use with my Glass.

Well... this is not directly related to the op's question. But you can install settings without root.
Here is the demo officially released by google: https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/332704837

You can access some additional settings (such as force pairing Bluetooth devices) through launching that settings.apk; however, going into account setup will crash the app (as of now).
I did my best to create an decent and free SMS small app.
This can be useful when you want to quickly read/reply to an text message without leaving your current application.
Features:
-send and read text messages in threaded views
-quick access to 5 most recent threads
-communication with native app (through sms database): sent messages will come up in the native apps conversations
What it doesn't (or shouldn't ) do:
-mark messages read by the small app as read in the main app. (see below)
-anything with group messages
-copy/delete/forward/... messages
-show smileys as images (they're shown as plain text), make links,numbers,etc. clickable,...
I tried to mark the messages as read in the native app, and although it worked and the message was read, the native app didn't update his icon nor delete the notification. The unread counter was only reset when another message came in and was opened with the native app. Because of this I decided to not mark them as read at all, so when you would open the message in the native app all counters,notifications etc. would be properly updated.
To run this app, press the recent apps button and look for the sms icon in the horizontal bar (you might need to scroll to the right).
Although no malicious actions are intended at all, this application is in Beta stage (and will remain in that stage for quiet a while, I suspect) and comes with absolutely no guarantees. It might corrupt your sms database, send messages to the wrong persons etc. Usage is at your own risk and application is provided "as is." I recommend to make a backup.

Cyanogen Mod doesn't have Small apps feature.
But, if you have a halo compatible ROM, then you can use it to enjoy the experience!
Dude this is absolutely fantastic, thank you and well done. You should get it into the play store. Props

Glad you like it. I won't put it in the play store (for now) because I'm to cheap to pay for developer account, just to release something for free.
By the way, if you find any bugs, please let me know and I'll try to find some time to look into it. Extra features may also be suggested off course, but since I'm really busy it may take quite a while before I start looking into it.

I looked into it, but I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you. Android doesn't have an api to support dual-sim phone and even unofficial documentation seems to be very scarce.
If someone else knows how to do this, please tell me.

Use 2Lines for WhatsApp App.
I am using two whatsapp on same device..
@.U need root and Titanium backup. @.Create two user data profile in TB
@.Enable multiple data profile for whatsapp
@. Activate profile no one.
@. Take a backup for whatsapp
@. Now switch to profile no two
@. Erase user data of whatsapp
Now sign-up on whatsapp with different phone no.. If you have dual Sim then ok or you have to change sim
After setting up take another Backup using TB . Now you have two different whatsapp account on same device..
Create a widget of TV for data profile switching... Enjoy.
Limitations: you can receive/send msg on only active profile..

Using the OP3 for 5 days now and still struggling a lot . Somehow I got the message about no space on the storage although there were not many files there. So had to do a reset, and reinstalled all apps a fresh.
I am horribly addicted to the DND , Block Caller , Memo and Email Client of Samsung. I assumed that the OP3 being a Android phone, would have all of these and more.
I have installed a app (Do not Disturb) for the DND which seems to be working fine. Can someone suggest a workaround for the other three problems, i.e Block Caller, Memo (where I can import samsung memos) and email client like Samsung, please.
I would like to keep the phone and am making all efforts to work towards that. All advice will be highly appreciated.
A stupid question, would all these problems be overcome with a downgrade to Marshamallow, if that is possible at all ?
- use google keep for memo (its better)
- tons of options for email, you can use Gmail for starters (even for Microsoft Exchange), or check out BlueMail if you want to try a third party.
if you're trying to get these on stock OOS with no root/xposed:
- create a contact called SPAM and add callers you want to block to that, then make that contact's calls all go to voicemail
if you're willing to unlock BL & root:
- Flash Google Dialer w/ framework to block callers
- use Root Call Blocker

Yes i know but since millions of people are already using it so they already have most of our phone contacts anyway. The only thing that we can do is just get our own number removed from their database.

Ok but to be honest doesnt bother me much. Plus you cannot remove a number from their database whose has an active true caller account so i do hope you had everyone deactivate their accounts also first.

Thanks for your reply. Gmail does not go to the Combined view of Inbox directly, dislike that. Needed a simple client which is included with the phone. Have tried BlueMail found it very complicated. I dont mind rooting if I can get a permanent solution to my problems.
About Truecaller or any other Dialler which uploads the phone book, is a huge issue for me and I dont want to do that.
About Google Keep, have tried that. Didnt like it. Besides I have hundreds of notes on my Samsung Memo with Titanium backups available, all lost.

You are issues rare, it also tells how diverse this world is. Most people here, specially me, just hate Samsung UI, missing frame rates and lags, chinese looking touchwiz. Good to know, some people prefer it as well. I exchanged galaxy S7 for OP3 with commitment never to buy Samsung again, i feel you have opposite issues
There are tones of memo applications, oneNote it's working fine and also you can sync with the widows os, using a branded application such Samsung's crap which you can't ported to other devices it's risky, Samsung like Apple are pushing us to use their own ****, less flexibility

You should try HydrogenOS v0.10 which comes with its own notes app and you can block or record calls directly from the phone app. For email, I myself use Inbox from Google which works great but try few from PlayStore.

Why did you buy OP3 instead of Samsung?
I mean, if you prefer Samsung stile why did you change it for a pure android one?
Anyway, I'm looking for an OP3. If you would like to sell it to buy a Samsung device I would like to help you.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have had Onenote since ages on my phones, never thought of using it as a memo pad. Infact it is a very good suggestion, the Quick notes are really handly and get synced to all devices too.

For memo i would suggest google keep or colornote, for mail you can try outlook, for call blocking you can try call blocker by nq mobile security it works good for me.
And if you root it to some other custom rom like resurrection rom i think there is an inbult feature of call blocking..

Your first mistake is thinking that Samsung ships Android. They ship TouchWiz and add a bunch of "value added" crap most people don't care about. Most if not all of those things can be found on Google Play.
