    Me too. Lock screen notifications are one of the key features of Lollipop.

    since I updated nexus 7 (2013) I no longer have the shortcuts/widgets to spotify calendar and a few other I had on my lock screen.
    I have to unlock tablet to go into them as normal.
    I can't figure out how to set them up again ?

    Yeah. You must have something happening with your phone for it not to be working duploelabs.

    The lock screen for Lollipop will be on thing I'll miss when I eventually get around to sorting my Nexus 7 to a workable OS.

    I've recently update to Lillipop (HTC one M8) and I find that Facebook and Facebook messenger are very laggy. Sometimes on the brink of freezing for many seconds.

    Anyone else find this?

    Getting this too. If I like any comment the screen will freeze for a few seconds. Messenger is almost unusable at times

    Can anyone recommend a good SMS app? I'm just sick of Hangout's inability to tell me when I have messages and lack of group text option.

    Will this work for normal texts worth lollipop? I don't need to use my webtexts and I can't tell from looking at the reviews.

    Use this instead:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra&hl=en

    It has pushbullet support, which is one of my fav apps.

    Textra is pretty good.

    I use Textra. Quick reply popup is great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,391 ✭✭✭jozi


    Is there anything out there that you can use to hide apps from the app drawer and from the share menu? There's a load of stuff there I never use or have no need for and I don't like the clutter.

    I know I can do it with an xposed module but rooting my tablet isn't an optio nas the LG OS doesn't play nice when using chromecast or when getting notifications :o

    Looks great but how bad are the Free to Play elements?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,271 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    What was that safe site to get all the current APKs when the Play Store tells you your device is not compatible? I thought it was AppBrain but after jumping through all the hoops there its telling me an app isnt available in my country, I thought there was an alternative apk place that didnt care about things like that?

    Don't know about safe! Got a warning from google that it was spyware - but have you tried aptoide?
