You can still use the watch without the ZenWatch manager... Honestly, you're not missing much. All you need to use the watch is the Android wear app to connect it to your phone. You can probably side load the ZenWatch manager though, but I don't have the apk the pm you. Maybe someone online will post it somewhere. Either way, the watch isn't useless without it. I have most of the features in the ZenWatch manager turned off anyway because they are battery hogs.

I agree. You don't really need it as long as you have access to android wear app.
I use zenmanager for customization of watch faces. But the watch is pre-loaded with faces. The manager just allow you to add different features ie, weather, steps etc.
But there are a lot of other watchfaces programs on google play.
The other feature I use was to cover my watch to avoid interruption if I am busy. But I think there are 3rd party programs that does the same.
I do use wellness manager to check my heart rate which works great.
I think you can do well with all just 3rd party programs.

Hi mate:
do you still need this apps? one friend on this blog send them to me (Asus Zenwatch Manager and Wellness app), if you are still lokinf for them tell me and I will send it to you

Too bad I still can't change the backgrounds on the watch with my Note 4. I've even tried apps like Facer etc. and everything fails/crashes/or resets whenever I try to use a custom background. It's mildly infuriating.

Same issue - Zenwatch Manager App - not available in my location
I know I'm not missing out on much, but I'd like to use the app anyway. Anyone still having this same issue? Is there a place other than mediafire to get the .apk?

I just bought/received my ZenWatch 2 today (2016 Feb 03), loaded the ZenWatch manager and Android Wear software. However the Manager app was saying "disconnected" and showing dashes for battery level/storage space. I also could not configure any faces and have it send it to the phone. So, I uninstalled it and installed the version shown here by "CSX321" which worked because it showed "connected" and the battery level and storage but appears to have less features. I wanted the latest version to work so badly I upgraded it after this version and it worked! Yay!
So perhaps install the version by "CSX321" first and then do the upgrade to get Zen Manager working correctly.
I have a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus rom running on it.

OS 4.6.1 vs 3.6.8(unlocked GSM 32gig)

Fire OS 4.6.1 on unlocked GSM 32gig Fire Phone
Notable changes,
Finally we have native wallpaper support
Different slightly improved lock screen notifications
Smart dialer
Ability to switch default SMS/MMS and Keyboard apps
New Dev. Options
Ability to force quit and(or) Disable bloatware apps
Widgets seem to be working well
More detailed settings for Low Motion/Dynamic perspective(specifically for lockscreen, homescreen, and maps)
Google maps is now seemingly 100% functional
Ability to toggle switch cellular data(2g,3g,LTE)
Google Play and GAPPs still working well
Also we now have a bluetooth keyboard config. in our settings
New Emoticons
Status bar is semi-transparent and looks really nice despite lack of persistent icon notifications
Addition of print services pack(HP, Canon, Epson)
Updated Sounds and Notifications settings(
Things that sadly remained the same
No status bar notifications
Cannot individually clear calls or messages from carousel
Still not native android
Notifications seem hit and miss as usual
No Graphical updates or graphical setting in stock message or dialer apps
Camera seems to be the same and I'm still having having better luck with the google camera
App drawer functions the same(new options in app info though)
Overall function of the O.S. seems to improve a lot. Smooth scrolling through the carousel, less if not no lag at all on sleep/wake, and just all in all more pleasing to look at.
I updated manually by downloading the .bin and moving it to the home folder and searching for update with wifi/data off, and because of that I am unsure if the new att bloatware apps were part of the update due to my carrier or if they were packaged inside the update bin which was a shocking 1.3gb. Even though I am fairly certain that those apps are my fault in the first place I feel the need to warn that the U.S. att .bin file could have that affect and unlocked users may want to wait for the OTA just to play it safe. There is however a great guide on here explaining the process and linking quite a few files(for those who can't wait).
**This did work for me however if it does not work for you I am not at fault, sideload at your own risk**
Feel free to add what you find I know I missed a few things but since there is no apparent changelog from amazon I figured I'd try to compile a small unofficial changelog of sorts.
Tried Towelroot Its been hung at the towelroot screen with a highlighted "make it rain" button for about ten mins... I'm going to leave it running for a while and see if anything happens but I'm assuming its still a no go.
I've seen issues regarding call audio, google services and a few other things but I personally haven't been able to recreate them and fortunately haven't had them in the first place.

Camera seems faster in taking photos for me. Also there is an auto HDR setting, before it was either on or off.

So, matsnackson do you think that is better to install (sideload) the Google-Camera APP, and used it instead of the default Amazon Camera APP?
Could you please, let us know what differences or improvements do you have noticed, if you use the Google Camara APP instead of the Amazon one?

Notable changes
- Chooseable colors for mail accounts and calendars, but there aren't too much colors to choose to.
Things that sadly remained the same
- Shared Google calendars won't show up in the/any calendar app, that's very very annoying

I second your opinion as I have not been able to conect my LG G watch to Fire phone with 4.6.1.
Also sideloding Google play services and play store worked fine for few minutes after which the play services auto updates when I install google search and now from Playstore.
After this any sideloaded google apps start hanging with white screen and circle clock running. Uninstall and install after factory resets also did not help.

I've been using the stock camera app for a few days and it seems to be better than I first thought but I still prefer the google camera app, but at this point it seems to be my personal preference... I really just feel more comfortable with the google camera app.(long time nexus user)
I have seen quite a few people with the google play issues and I tried removing then reloading google services and google play but i havent had any issues the only advice i can give is to remove and try again making sure to pay close attention to the order you install the packages(there is a specific order, and a few great guides on here)

The LG watch seems to be common issue as well but I don’t have one to test with, I'll look into buying one and see what I can do. Until then the only advice I have is to unpair the watch and your phone and reboot before attemting to repair the two. Good luck and sorry.

I'll third this. I feel like Amazon is intentionally crippling Google services, and I've already ordered a replacement phone.
These are services that run fine on what, 99% of Android phones?

Honestly I don't think this is intentionally being done by either side, we run an outdated version of android so naturally were going to see at least a few compatibility issues, have you tried a factory reset and full reload of play services in order? Also be patient with 4.6.1 from everything I've read its not technically official on the unlocked phones yet.

I don't download too much on here so I hadn't even noticed thanks for adding in though
I did want to add in as well that my battery life seems much better than before I actually forgot to charge this for two days and still had 30%( I disabled low motion setting and don't use auto brightness, but none the less that's a great battery life)

I'm looking forward to the update. I feel changing your keyboard is a few months late, but I'd be happy to finally have swiftkey back. I'm running an unlocked Fire Phone with 3.6.8. Amazon doesn't even acknowledge a new update on their Fire Phone update page. Perhaps it's in some sort of beta as they harvest data before making it official?

That was cleared up in the OTA thread this is unofficial at this point those who have it either got lucky or manually installed it, I personally used the at&t bin file even though I have the unlocked 32gig.

I don't see smart dialer. I had one in my MOTO-X.

downloaded the us version of 4.6 and guess what? Andriod wear is back. Now I can finally put my lg watch to use.

Guys,
I got my Fire Phone unlocked updated to new 4.6.1 but after the update I am unable to see the Maps icon. I am currently in Australia but the phone is an unlocked US version. Do I reset or is it something Amazon has done?

HTC Desire 820 irremovable apk.(MUSICFX)

Hello,
I had a long search for getting a good EQ on my HTC 820, as the integrated "Boomsound" gave me a cracking noise. Even with good headphones.
I tried to get Snapdragon audio+(MUSICFX) working on the phone but after a long time of reboots and uninstalls I concluded the effort wasn't worth it.
Beats audio was the better solution as I was used to it from previous phones(HTC one x+), and it gave my sennheiser urbanites the boost in sound they needed.
Prior to installing Beats I deleted every file in downloads, System folder, through playstore and app manager that had any connection to musicfx.
Even though I did all this, every time I reboot the device and play music for the first time it gives me a notification that "Musicfx has stopped working".
Although this isn't a big problem, it is a new project I can work on. So I like to have it solved.
Is there any other place where drivers, folders, .... could have been left that make this notification happen?
Thanks in advance for replying.

[ROOT] Enable Notification LED

Hey,
There have been a lot of threads that let you activate the LED on the Moto G4 but none of them allow you to use it as a notification light.
Here is an app called "Moto Led Enabler" - Download(PlayStore)
The usage is pretty simple and straight forward-
1. Install the app and open it.
2. Grant the root permissions.
3. Grant the notification access from withing the app.
4. Select the applications for which you want to be notified.
Note:
1. The intensity slider doesn't work so the LED would glow at a constant intensity.
2. The app needs to be in memory in order to work so if you restart the device open the application once so that it can run in the background.

All other apps including the one you gave the link to will only work for charging and power purposes only. They don't provide you the facility of having app specific notifications.
This thread focuses on using the LED as a notification LED instead of a charging LED.
-----Update-----
This app makes the LED actually useful instead of making it glow only when the power is connected

You're welcome. You can try contacting the app developer, maybe he can fix it.

I bought a G4 a few days ago without knowing that some phones like this have done away with the "must-have" notification LED that I depend on so much. I've only had this app installed for a few hours (and have had the G4 and Android N for not much longer), so I may not have discovered some quirks yet, but it does work. I don't understand why Play Store reviews are so poor, but I assume it's because a lot of people are unrooted (root requirement should have been mentioned by dev in the description even though it's pretty obvious, but whatever). Anyway, thanks for sharing, OP. I'm still kind of in shock that an app is needed to have a notification light on this phone, but since it is, this app is a godsend.

its not blinking.. the light is on constantly till the notification is cleared..

LightFlow works great. I put up these directions a few days ago..

Gmail and WhatsApp notifications ?!

Hi was wondering if any one else has this issue on the chinese version
Instant email notification for gmail isn't there and neither is for WhatsApp new messages
Once I open the app it aggregates all the new items
Seems like an issue with push ??
Is there a fix and since were on the topic of missed notifications any solution for the notifications coming on the always on screen ??

Probably related to power saving options

Did this on my AL00 model but still missing notifications occasionally. On my L29 model, notifications came in right away. On the AL00, I get notifications if the app was already open in the background. On the plus side, battery life seems to be better.
I'm wondering if moving the Google apps like Gmail and hangouts into the system folder would prevent the aggressive app killing.

Didn't lock any apps. Am I suppose to?
I got 2 mate 20 Xs because I was waiting for a Nubia X but was getting the run around by the Chinese vendor so I ordered a global mate 20 X off eBay and then was offered the Chinese mate 20 X in place of the Nubia X.
I'd sell the L29 but don't want to waste money making eBay richer at the moment so will try to sell it locally or give it to the wife to use.
