Thanks for the post, But I have a question..
I dont mean to be obtuse, But Im dont understand how apps like your are "legal" with copyright?
Mean no offence, just no one has explained it to me previously...

the same goes, can you explain me what make this illegal? a quote from iTunes term and condition page would do.

Wow...
I'm not going to quote anything from ITunes, thanks...
Well, I am obtaining a fully functioning, non expiring copy of a song, that is copyrighted, without purchase??
To be it seems strange, and TBH, the fact you've come back with

Just makes it look worse, you made the app (i presume...) Thought you might have read up on the "legal" side of it prior to production and posting.
Your not the first app i have seen of this nature, Just the first one I've seen posted on XDA.

First of all this app only let you listen to 30 seconds preview of the song that iTunes itself provided it. Tell me what is illegal with this? Did you even try this app before making judgment?

And there was the answer I was looking for..

Apologies, I did not realize it was only the 30 second preview you were applying for the ringtones..
Seriously mate, maybe brush up on the whole "customer service" side of things.
That was all I was asking, and TBH, with the attitude, I would not try the app but thanks for finally answering my question.

I have tried similar from the market before, and its just a Mp3 search tool for the net... wasn't impressed.. After that haven't installed to check.
But I will take on board your advise, thanks.

Apologize on my part too, I am not a marketer, I am the developer of this app and what you said hurt me quite a bit. But let's forget it. Cheer!

Not that I know of but that's not to say that there isn't one out there. That's why I started this post, to get those unknown apps that others may be using or know of, out there. If I find or hear of one, I'll be sure to post it here.

Tasker Integration: What is the problem?

TaskS2 seems to be the ONLY solution available for all Samsung watches since the S2. It was developed four years ago, it's buggy, and is not well designed intuitively. This goes for both the watch and companion app on the Android host (phone).
So, why is there no better alternative that has come out since then?
I have some home automation with REST APIs I wrote and run on Raspberry PIs. I use the RESTask plugin for Tasker to make calls to my homeauto api from the phone.
Now I've just gotten my first Samsung watch (the Galaxy Watch) and I've set up TaskS2 to interface with my Tasker tasks. It works..... sometimes (forget the TaskS2 widget, it is useless). One problem I found right away with the TaskS2 task lists is that they won't come up on the watch when you actually need them, and I think that might be because the companion app on the phone gets put to sleep by the Android OS (Samsung S7 w/Oreo).
Are people just not interested watch-to-Tasker integration because it requires Tasker and/or TaskS2 phone app to stay awake all the time and drain battery? Doubt it.
Why no love for Tasker?
I had fairly good Tasker integration on my Pebble back in 2014, and we can't do it on Tizen five years later?

Task S2 works fine and any time I want to use for me.
User must ensure that all needed app are running every time on the phone : Samsung app and all needed compagnon app like this for Task S2, so need to exclude to battery optimisation and grant launch at startup.

Garmin Fenix :
pebble :
Wear OS : Tasker for Wear
Other Wear OS app : Wear Tasker
So I can not say that Samsung has bad Tasker app and nice app for other than Samsung, no ?

It's not the look of the TaskS2 app on the watch that is a problem. That's fine because it uses the Samsung-developed watch UI (how Samsung renderes a selectable list on the screen -- no style points there for TaskS2). It's how it functions: the way the side menu works. The way the favorites works. The way adding to Favorites works. the way one has to reset the list to get it to behave. etc. The way the widget does NOT work at all! And of the two, the watch app is the better! The phone side TaskS2 app is REALLY bad! It is ALL completely not intuitive and just plain silly.
You don't need to keep replying about how much you love TaskS2. That's not helpful.
This thread asks about at least ONE alternative.

I'm also looking for an alternative.. i'm using a wearOS watch, just because Autowear gives me the needed functionalities..
if there is an alternative to TaskS2, i would consider switching to a samsung gear..

Just got my galaxy watch, and I am really disappointed too with the lack of proper tasker options.
I moved over from pebble, the tasker integration there was the best. You could use the hardware buttons to launch a task. It simply works.
Even the android wear is better than g-wach's tasker.
With the android wear lte, I could launch tasks even away from the phone's Bluetooth range.
With the g-watch's S2, you can't do that. Not sure if this is a samsung g-watch cloud limitation.

New Tasker Integration available for tizen watches
Hi there,
if you are still looking for tasker integrations for Tizen-based watches, go check out the app WatchEvents.
Right now WatchEvents provides events in Tasker that can be triggered from your watch.
Other features will be added soon.
Cheers Keaselstein

How to store several custom watch faces ?

So I have custom watch face working on my GT2, but I can only install them one by one, the Health app just keeps the last installed custom watch face, none of the previously installed watch faces is present.
So how can I have my own list of custom watch faces?
Thanks.

Ok so I somehow managed to store the custom watch faces on my GT2. I don't know if there is a limit in quantity but actually I have at least twenty watch faces installed.

How?

I uninstalled the existing Huawei Health app and use everything from this webpage (the link came from an Youtube clip).
Files list: https://mega.nz/folder/xQgFgCSS#gFMrebBNtgILX_Sp4FdNFQ/folder/0N53SIIJ
Youtube: https://youtu.be/7Z0VKqa5jyY
Do not use the latest Health app as it didn't work for me, just use the Health app from the above link.
My installation order was:
1. Install Taichi app, play a bit with the app's setting to let it update itself (it might happen or not depending on your android version).
2. Install Huawei Health app.
3. Install Huawei Mobile Service app.
4. Install multiple faces app.
5. Close all apps.
6. Open Taichi app, use the + button to "create" the Huawei Health and Huawei Mobile Service. It might take several minutes to finish each task.
7. Use the same + button to manage modules, check the multiple faces module.
If everything is OK you should be able to upload and store your custom watch faces in your GT2.

The two required apps should appear clean in the list like this, your there is a red notice under either app, click to repair (Taichi will do it for you).

Make sure you checked the multiple faces app to include it in the service.

In case of problem, long press on the app to launch it again. I found that sometimes the Huawei Mobile Service would need a "kick" from here to make it work.

Please note that while this method work perfectly, you won't be able to change the watch faces from your phone (like you usually do with the stock Health app) but you have to do it from your watch. The Health app would just upload and store the files on your watch.
And as you can see in the pic I uploaded, the uploaded files don't have an avatar when seen from the phone, so you must use the filenames while working with the watch faces. However you can preview all the watch faces in your watch normally.

Editing...

It turned out that the max number of faces you can store in your watch is 32.

Can you tell me how to upload new watchfaces to the health app? Because when i try to add it, it tell me to choose an image

I did all in the explanation on page 1. I restarted the phone and watchfaces is unabled in TaiChi. When I pair the phone it only shows me music but no watchfaces where I can click on to see watchfaces or where I can see the three buttons to install. Please help.

Uploaded images seem broken, I will come back later.

Could someone explain, why the login screen of Huawei does not pop up? Because if you do not log in watchfaces are not available. Health app starts fine but does not want me to log into Huawei account. Therefore, only Music is shown.
I did everything exactly the way it is here explained, altough with a LG phone and Oero 8.1.
Any ideas? Thanks.

All works now after I found the reason why watchfaces were not shown.

All customs??

Yes, except the two default faces which cannot be removed. So you can store 30 custom faces at a time.

The first two are default faces.

Question Android TV app weirdness or glitch

Hi everyone.
I'm faced with difficulties when I run Android TV remote control app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote) on my P6Pro. It appeared to behave like an obsolete app abandoned by its developer - it never opens fullscreen.

I really don't care about that and could live with it as the app works like it should until I leave it foreground and turn off the screen. As soon as I turn my screen back on my phone hangs up and there is no possibility to get to home screen or go back. It happens from time to time, not every time I use it. Power button just turns the screen on/off and my only option is to press power+volume up buttons to reboot the phone.
I remember I was able to adjust full screen behavior for my apps in the previous versions of Android somewhere in settings. Now that option has gone in A12.
Any ideas?

I don't have an Android TV, but I just wanted to let you know your link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote doesn't work for me.

Weird. Google must have it blocked unless you actually own one. On both the phone (Wi-Fi and Mobile Data) and the computer the link doesn't work and I can't find that app listed when I search for it by name.
Anyway, I know it's not relevant (I guess), just weird.

Another glitch? Unfortunately not the last one.

BTW, I just tried to open that link in chrome incognito mode
What's going on, Google? Is the app account-specific? Is it not available for everybody?

I just realized what the problem is. The app is really abandoned and it's obvious from my 2nd screen.
"Last updated April 4, 2017"
The reason I like it is an ability to enter login/pass details on my Android TV using my phone screen. This is the feature I was envious of iPhone users for its native integration into Apple TV.
Ok, RIP.
My only options are to get used to manual reboots or Force Stop the app after each use.

My understanding is that "Android TV Remote" is actually obsolete, and its functionality has been incorporated into "Google Home": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

The standalone Android TV Remote app has been decommissioned by Google. The functionality has been moved to the Google Home app and is available as a Quick Settings tile

Not a glitch. Stop spreading misinformation. This is a perfect example of why half the complaints on this forum are bogus.

It is a frustrating change though in the very least, because who needs all the bloat of "home" when all you want is a remote control?
Anyway, I just ordered a couple of ADT-3's, which is the "developer" version of ccgtv. I'm tired of being locked out, and I don't give a flying f*** about netturds. Years ago I wrote a remote service for nexus player, which shouldn't be too hard to adapt to ADT-3.

Well, from Google's perspective, it is logical to have it as part of the Google Home app. Android TV/Chromecast is part of the Google Home (devices) ecosystem.
That being said, if you don't want to use the Google Home app, there is an alternative

Thanks, I know there are several alternatives by other developers but I always do my best to go google Just figured out how to enable Open Remote button in Google Home app at 3 different android tv boxes I own - Shield Pro, Onn TV and Dynalink TV. I had to manually update Android TV Remote Service to v.5.
Now I've got almost the same features, at least I can still enter text remotely on my phone.
