Yea i cant go to another rom now. And the font is awesome too.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

I still can't believe this is a beta. But the icing on the cake would be a unique touch sound. IMHO obviously. Will03 note 2 beanstalk rom had a great touch sound. Only thing I miss about my note 2.
[Oppo Find 5] Basian Mile:
I'm using this ROM since yesterday just like on my GN and I have some questions.

Can we get Photosphere?

What Kernel comes with the ROM?
[Oppo Find 5] asokhaki:
Kernel i think comes with stock kernel maybe modified and I don't think so you may have to ask that developer :)
[Oppo Find 5] Basian Mile:
And i would really like to see 16:9 Option in Camera (and more resolutions like 10 and 8), Photospere and True View like in Original Slim.

Thats why i use the original APK from SlimBean rightnow in Illusion and it works. But i really like to have that Features.

[Oppo Find 5] basse10000:
There is an option in "developer options" to disable HW-overlays. If i tick this i get smother animation with the dropdown notificationtray.

However when I restart the phone the option unticks itself. Is there anyway to keep it ticked between reboots or is it meant to be this way?

Dont know if this is rom-specifik or if it's like this with all AOSP-roms.
[Oppo Find 5] beama:
afaik over all roms.

As we all know the Google Latitude service is shutting down on 9th August 2013.

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement?

p.s I never made it to the moon :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
The official replacement is "Locations" in Google+. Any reason why that won't work for you?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyert11:
My family and friends don't use Google+, any other apps?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Come next month, they won't be using Latitude either. I don't understand why looking for another app is preferential to switching to Google+. Is it just having to add it to your account? Or is it something else?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyert11:
Google latitude ran under Google maps, so users of Google maps (virtually anyone) could follow each other. Now that latitude is being moved under Google+, only people with plus accounts will be able to use it. Since my family and friends don't use Google+, if we want to follow each other we will all have to sign up for Google+ accounts, just to use latitude. Seems like an unnecessary amount of work, for a feature that is useful during vacations and trips. Hope this explains it a bit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Google+ is a single option on a Google account. If they are using Maps with Latitude, the already have a Google account. IIRC adding Plus to an existing Google account is a single mouseclick.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyert11:
Google+ is a social media service, like facebook, that is altogether separate. Larry Page is obsessed with having everyone sign up for Google+ because most people are surfing the web via their mobile phones and Facebook is dominating the mobile ad space. My friends and family are not likely to migrate from Facebook to Google+, so I need an alternative to Latitude.

If you'd like further clarity, feel free to PM me, rather than us having a long personal conversation on a forum about Latitude alternatives.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
You don't have to use it, you just need to opt in to use the location services. I don't see what the big deal is but to each their own.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyert11:
You will have to open the Google+ app to follow your friends and family. It has been physically removed from the updated Maps app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laur3n.newm4n:
The problem is that you don't even HAVE to have a Google + "account" just because you have a Google account. I can go into my Google account right now and delete my Google + profile. So that's not even true. To have to opt into and then use the Google + app is a pretty lame alternative. ALSO, the Google + Locations really sucks right now. My boyfriend and I are in each other's circles, have shared our locations with each other, and turned on background location reporting, but he does not show up as a person who I can see his location. He showed up for 1 hour when we first set it up, but he's since disappeared, even though I've been right next to him and seen his settings on his phone as we tried to troubleshoot. It needs some serious work before it's ready to replace Latitude.

I've been trying to use Glympse for those times when I need to let someone know where I am, and for them to track me. The only down side is you can only let people see your location for up to 4 hours at a time. When you've got an active Glympse running, your GPS is in constant use too, so it will drain your battery faster than Latitude did. You can opt to turn your GPS off and just let Glympse use WiFi or cell networks to locate you, but it won't be as accurate.

Other than that, all the other alternatives are also closer to social networking or checkin apps that also happen to share your location. I just want something simple, LIKE LATITUDE.

Oh. I guess the alternative is Latitude. I don't understand why they killed it off. I hope maybe Backitude will pull a Feedly and create something neat out of this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppdd:
For me, three things:

1. No option to navigate to a person on the map

2. No "last update" time stamp means sometimes the locations are 5 minutes old. Sometimes an hour.

3. No accuracy bubble

It's basically useless as a way to figure out where people are at any given time. Extremely annoying to have that go away. Hopefully there will be a replacement that shows up that doesn't drain the battery. Something that automatically responds to a ping for a check-in rather than polling for locations every X minutes would be great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Hi, these are some valid concerns. I am not a big fan of the location tracking features so were unaware of these. Hopefully, as Google continues to unify its social services we will eventually see more granular features resurface. I miss the offline ability in the new maps more than anything else at the moment. Hangouts not showing online status is annoying as well. Its important to leave Google feedback through official channels when valued existing features go AWOL. It has always been Android's nature to throw out something half-baked, and improve (or kill :() it over time based on user feedback.

As for battery... Google announced a number of new API's that would be rolling out this year. Some of which are specifically designed to reign in apps that poll/push data. I remember location services being a big part of that.I'm willing to bet this will get better over time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppdd:
I've already complained to google, but I'm not real hopeful there. If Latitude wasn't being used heavily, it didn't make sense to leave it in Maps cluttering up the interface. I don't blame them.

For me, literally the only thing I want to use this for is making it easier to coordinate with my wife, or friends/family when we're on road trips. I suspect thats how most people were using it. It's great to be able to see that she's left her office or is at our kids' daycare or is 10 minutes away from a restaurant without calling her a dozen times a day. Losing the 'last update' stamp ruins that use case. Really not sure how they envision people using the G+ locations feature.

Apple's Find My Friends was great when my wife and I were on iOS. It behaved almost exactly right, only ever reporting your location when someone on your whitelist opened up their FMF app. There was no real power drain associated with it. All the apps in the Play store that fill this niche seem to report locations on their own, which is dumb *and* a redundant power drain given that Google location services is already grabbing that location.

Oh well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Apple does it right in not allowing apps to just go out and post/get whatever they want, whenever they want it. The app has to register for the info, and the system coalesces these requests for when the corresponding hardware is connected. Google is well on their way to implementing this same behavior.

Having much of this stuff better unified is a good thing IMHO, and I understand the thinking that things related to friends and family should be found in + and not maps. And based on what I saw at I/O, this will get better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurlyDuff:
From what I've heard, the previously mentioned Glympse is a pretty decent replacement depending on what features you need. It's more aimed towards temporary location sharing between people during car trips, theme park visits, going out for lunch, etc. There's no option to leave it permanently on, though, and it doesn't appear to use intermittent polling.

Now that Latitude is dead, who knows if it will introduce this functionality to get new users?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theickleone:
I'm hoping that there is a location history feature in the new Google+ locations as I use this a lot, but I would love to eventually reach the moon - and maybe beyond!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] englishpunk:
It's an opening for another Feedly to come in and increase their market share. Someone like echoecho or swarmly could tweak their application to provide the same functionality, while furthering their own growth, a percentage of those new users would start using their services as result.

If I knew enough about Android development I’d quickly drop an app that pulled the Google+ location information and dumped it into maps provided by the Google Maps API with the options for satellite imagery and streetview. I'm really surprised that Google didn't merge the existing functionality into Google+, it must be available as they'll only be leveraging Google Maps anyway, certainly in regards the above.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
Location history will remain:

If you use Location Reporting and have Location History enabled, your location data will continue to be recorded to your Location History. You can view and manage Location History data on the Location History dashboard.

Note: We’re no longer supporting Google Maps for Mobile 6.14.4 and below for Location History or Location Reporting settings.

google is forcing us to use their G+, first was gtalk converted to hangouts, now latitude

i have yet to find a map of people in G+ on the PC, i can only see people on the phone

now they have a universal "location tracking" setting in android, the new maps v7 is garbage, hopefully someone is able to mod the old maps apk to push and pull data from their new location service, reformat it and keep latitude working in the old maps

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorka95032:
It's worse than that. I just switched on google+ and their location sharing in anticipation of Latitude being switched off. It's not a replacement and is lacking many feature Latitude has.

1) It drains the battery like crazy. 60% of my usage in the last 24 hours is due to google+ after turning location sharing on.

2) Not integrated with maps. With Latitude, I can pull up my wife's location and when she's sitting on the beach or in a park, I can pedestrian navigate with google nav by selecting her in the map. Can't do that with google+ location.

3) Google plus doesn't update as frequently and is not as accurate.

4) Latitude, on maps, showed you the accuracy circle so you knew if that was the exact spot or just an estimate. Makes a huge difference when you're navigating to the persons location.

Google+ location sharing SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Agree with everything above except 1. Something is terribly wrong on your device if it's using that much battery. I rarely see any usage due to background location sharing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
Google+ location is not a replacement of what Latitude offered.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feimitsu:
THIS. How come Google has not come up with this solution yet? It would mean a lot less of network data movement for us, and less overload for them.

It should be relatively easy to implement a white list of people that can trigger other people's location on demand. This better be done quickly.

And on another note, did anyone of you guys notice that since the removal of Latitude from our devices, the location reporting setting is not device specific anymore, but enabled at an account level?

Noticed this after factory resetting my 2 devices when installing Android 4.3. Noticed that the Nexus 7 (always at home) was having a lot of wakelocks on NLP service and I was wondering why. I used to have my Galaxy Nexus only to report my location.

Today I checked my location history and the graph looks like i've been jumping between my actual location (Gnex) and home (N7) every minute, it's crazy. And thanks to the new unified setting, I can only choose to enable location reporting on both devices, or nowhere (which is what I chose).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayakyakr:
Looking good so far. Some feature requests:

1) Web view for computers (or at least an API to be able to do so). I'm trying to turn everything into a chrome extension, so an API would be at least a step.

2) Accuracy circles are a commonly requested feature

3) This is an android board, but *sigh* some people are out there using iphones (I know, I've tried and failed to get them to switch). An updater (not necessarily a full app) or an API of some sort so someone else can write the iphone side of it would be great.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howettl:
Unfortunately, no. I simply hand a couple of latitude, longitudes to Google maps and it takes over from there.

1) Web view for computers (or at least an API to be able to do so). I'm trying to turn everything into a chrome extension, so an API would be at least a step.

- this is on my to-do list, but my first priority is an iOS client

2) Accuracy circles are a commonly requested feature

- Accuracy circles are already in place.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc6500uk:
I hung on to the very end of latitude in the hope that Google+ locations would be improved before Latitude disappeared. It did not and the new maps is pretty abysmal too. What use is a map without a scale?

Moving onto Hemisphere now - it looks very promising and the developer responded to my mini review/comment within minutes. It's early days but looks like being the best alternative although the ads are annoying. Still, the data/servers cost money and it has to be paid for,

Wishing the dev all the best.

Hemisphere looks great. I just installed it and put it on my wife's phone too. I know a few of my friends that are still looking for a replacement so this will be a nice find.

I really think the developer should provide a paid app to remove ads. I'm certain Google will update G+ with similar features in their location section and unless unique features are added to Hemisphere it will not be used much after that. You might as well get some money out of it before that happens. I know I would be willing to put down a few $$ to help the developer.

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know the application I made with a friend, it is called lclz.in (put a http in front and you're in), available in the store (I don't have enough reputation to make links...). We created it because the end of Google Latitude and the lack for such an app. It is not a complete replacement application for Latitude, but it cover the most frequently used part of it for us.

Lets explain it with a real use case, I want to meet my friend at an open air music festival with a lot of attendees. The classic way of doing it is calling him, but with the heavy music we will barely understand each other, plus it will be difficult to describe where we are to meet.

That's where the application will help : you select the contact you want to meet, it sends a SMS (or use the share dialog) requesting its location. The text contains a link to a site allowing any decent smartphone (even iOS/Blackberry/Windows Phone) to geolocalize him. Once done, you will get a notification on your phone displaying him on a map !

That's the beginning of the app, we've got a full backlog of ideas for the upcoming releases (unsorted : a full web version, a Firefox OS version, and even an iOS one...).

Meanwhile, feel free to install, use, and tell what you would have loved to see in it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maekel:
Thank you, it is nice, but not close enough to latitude. You can't see friends interractively on the map, without every time requesting sharing access. It also doesn't work without latest Google Services. Nice start, thank you.
