Just hours ago the source code for Android 4.4.2 went live on AOSP, and now we already have our <a class="external" href="https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KOT49E-KOT49H.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">changelog</a>
 from Al Sutton. With only four meaningful changes, this is probably the
 smallest changelog we've ever seen. That's not to say it isn't 
significant, as it further hides away App Ops and also shores up two 
fairly serious vulnerabilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="2013-12-11_13-44-29" height="145" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_2013-12-11_13-44-29_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-12-11_13-44-29" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The security fixes aren't much of a surprise. There is a <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Mms/+/d00f7cd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">patch</a> to block the Class-0 "Flash" SMS attack
 we covered a couple of weeks ago. Instead of stacking each message onto
 the screen, the new behavior will display the first Class-0 message and
 queue up subsequent messages until they can be dismissed by the user. 
There is also a <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/opt/telephony/+/567ea11" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fix</a> for a potential Denial-of-Service issue caused when receiving 0-byte WAP messages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, it looks like App Ops is being made even more difficult to reach after this <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Settings/+/37f06a4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">patch</a> to the Settings app. This turn of events isn't completely unexpected after a recent statement
 by Dianne Hackborn, one of Android's best known framework engineers. It
 looks like Google is serious about keeping App Ops out of the hands of 
users.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from these changes, there is also a <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Camera2/+/3574026" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">small tweak</a>
 to the camera app to generate less logs, but that's it. Again, it's a

LG G Flex Review: An Engineering Concept You Can Actually Buy, Not That You Necessarily Should

adnane 9 LG, reviews, Smartphones February 14, 2014

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00290_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="wm_DSC00290" border="0" height="225" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00290_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00290" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LG G Flex is just like a lot of modern, 
high-end smartphones. It has a fast processor, lots of RAM, a big 
battery, and a large display. Using it isn't particularly different from
 any other Android smartphone. And yet, hand the G Flex to almost 
anyone, and they will immediately notice there is something <em>very</em> different about it, and I'm not talking about the buttons on the back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The G Flex is one of two phones currently on the market to use a 
flexible OLED panel, the other being Samsung's Galaxy Round. Both phones
 are quite expensive, and apart from their curved displays, neither 
particularly stands out from the crowd. So why on earth would you pay up
 to 50% more for a G Flex than something like a G2 or Galaxy Note 3? 
Isn't this all just a gimmick?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a way, yes, it is. The G Flex's arced screen isn't going to change your life. Does it have <em>some</em>
 practical benefits? Yes, I suppose. Are they reason enough on their own
 to go out and buy one? No way. The G Flex really is LG saying "look at 
what we can do." It almost feels like a concept device - something 
sketched out by a few engineers late one evening, until the conversation
 around the idea became serious enough that there was a realization: <em>building this</em> <em>is doable</em>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A flexible 6" OLED panel. A curved 3500mAh battery pack. Self-healing
 rear coating. LTE Advanced connectivity. It all sounds very ambitious. 
And ambitious the G Flex is - the technology it serves as test bed to is
 doubtless impressive. Curved batteries could have big implications, and
 a rear cover that un-scratches itself? Almost sci-fi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, like a concept car taken out for a test drive, living 
with the G Flex exposes some of its less obvious flaws - the sort of 
things you might not notice when it's up on a little glass-enclosed 
pedestal.</div>
<div class="note" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="note" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="notenote">
<h5>
The Good</h5>
<ul>
<li>The G Flex is a genuinely interesting phone. The curved shape, 
the rear buttons -the power button looks opaque and metallic, but the 
whole thing actually lights up rather awesomely - and the "go ahead, 
scratch my phone / squish it flat " party trick make you feel like 
you're in <em>the future.</em>
</li>
<li>The G Flex is quick and snappy, as it to be expected of a phone using a Snapdragon 800 processor.
</li>
<li>The camera's pretty great.
</li>
<li>Battery life is as good as you'd expect, I've had no problems 
making it through well over a day with the G Flex throughout my testing.
</li>
<li>The big 6" OLED display looks very nice at full brightness, with deep blacks and vivid colors - just don't look too closely. </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="note" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="notewarning">
<h5>
The Not So Good</h5>
<ul>
<li>The display goes from likeable to downright <em>awful</em> once 
you lower the brightness below, say, 50%. Really noticeable graininess /
 discoloration / striping and even image retention get worse the darker 
you go. This new Plastic OLED process apparently has some serious 
drawbacks. It also just doesn't get bright enough outdoors.
</li>
<li>Continuing on, that 6" display is a 720p panel. Yep.
</li>
<li>LG's UI layer is still pretty ugly, in my opinion, and just 
kind of cluttered. Also, a virtual menu button in the navigation bar? 
Please, LG - stop.
</li>
<li>The self-healing rear cover is a crazy-bad dust magnet. I couldn't keep it clean to save my life.
</li>
<li>I still don't like the rear buttons. </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Hardware</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Design and build quality</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is readily apparent that the G Flex is not your average phone when
 it's lying flat on a surface. The curve isn't extreme, but it's 
definitely visible, especially when the display is illuminated. I think 
it looks really cool, personally. It's just so different. The downside, 
of course, is that you get serious rocking motion on flat, hard surfaces
 if you lay your phone down to use it, and with the G Flex being quite 
the handful (177 grams, over 6" tall), that might be a nuisance for 
some. On the upside, laying it face down is pretty unlikely to scratch 
your display, since little or none of it will actually be in contact 
with the surface it's sitting on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00320" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00320_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00320" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, the curve of the G Flex does make it easier to hold with 
one hand. One thing that has always bugged me about the Note line of 
phones is that when I try to palm them, they kind of dig into my hand if
 I hold them for an extended period. The G Flex's shape lets you use 
your fingers for leverage just ever-so-slightly differently than you 
would on a standard flat phone. It's hard to describe the effect, but 
the G Flex is surprisingly comfortable to hold for such a large device.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people claim the shape also makes typing on the on-screen keyboard easier, but I haven't noticed any such effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00282" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00282_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00282" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you've no doubt seen by now, the G Flex does indeed live up to its
 name in a limited sense - place it face down on a flat surface and 
press down on the center of the phone, and it'll bend flat. It works. It
 doesn't take a ton of pressure, though it's not super flexible, either.
 You will hear cracks and snaps as the plastic casing creaks in pain 
from the abuse. Considering how many times I've done this since 
receiving my review unit, though, I think it's safe to say the chance of
 actually damaging anything this way (apart from scratching the display)
 is pretty much zero.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of the curve, the G Flex does feel perhaps a little less 
premium than I'd like. The plastic makes Samsung-esque noises, and the 
glossy self-healing rear cover doesn't exactly feel high-end, either. 
I'd describe it as a slightly more rubbery version of the plastic you'll
 find on the Galaxy S4 - it's more tacky in texture. As a result of said
 texture, the G Flex collects an insane amount of airborne particulate 
matter. Dust, hair, dirt, lint - this thing is a chore to keep clean. 
This may be a non-issue for some people, though it kind of irked me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="0" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00301_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="0" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, about that "self-healing" back. LG's been careful not to go 
promising miracles with its polymer coating (and that's it is - a 
coating, it doesn't go all the way through), but they say scratches from
 things like keys or coins in your pocket will probably heal up enough 
that you won't notice them after a day or two, depending on the ambient 
temperature (warmer temperature = faster healing) and the depth of the 
scratch. I took things a step further and busted out my pocket knife and
 very gently (eg, very little pressure) cut some lines into the back of 
the phone. A week later, they look less apparent than they did right 
after the fact, but they're definitely still there, and I can still feel
 the cuts if I run a fingernail along the back of the phone. Oh well. 
It's still a cool idea, regardless. Maybe later versions will be a 
little thicker-skinned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00297" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00297_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00297" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The G Flex has basically identical power / volume button as the G2 
mounted on the back of the phone. Love 'em or hate 'em (I personally 
find myself in the latter camp), LG seems to be running with this idea. 
Even as someone who doesn't like them, I readily admit it's totally 
possible to live with them, they just aren't my first, second, or third 
choice. I'm not sure what my second and third choice would be, but yeah,
 I really don't enjoy these buttons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00308" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00308_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00308" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One cool thing LG's done with them on the G Flex, though, is 
increased the visibility of the notification glow on the power button. 
On the G2, the button glows around the edges - the rest of the button is
 opaque. On the G Flex, the whole power button looks opaque and 
metallic, but it's actually not - the entire button lights up when you 
receive a notification! It looks <em>really</em> cool. Kudos to LG on that little trick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Display</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, for all the "cool factor" the flexible OLED provides 
in the design department, the display itself is something of a letdown. 
First, it's a 720p panel. A 6" 720p panel. No, that's not <em>horrible</em>
 - it's perfectly usable, much in the way the Galaxy Mega 6.3's 720p 
panel is. It's just not optimal, and it doesn't feel like it's as sharp 
as it could be. So that's kind of a bummer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At full brightness, the screen looks pretty decent. Blacks are deep 
and dark, and LG's screen mode options can make the colors super vivid 
if that's your sort of thing. The colors are definitely a little more 
reminiscent of Samsung's older panels, though, in that even on the most 
conservative color setting they're still awfully saturated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00340" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00340_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00340" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Note the graininess - that's not all the camera's fault</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problems really start to arise when you turn down the brightness 
of the G Flex's display, particularly below 50%. At this point, very 
visible graininess, discoloration, and striping begin to appear. the 
striping is difficult to capture with a camera (they are horizontal 
stripes), but it's definitely present on both of the units I was sent. I
 confirmed with another person reviewing the phone, as well, so it's 
unlikely this is a defect. It's just how the Plastic OLED panel looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00268" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00268_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00268" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Worse yet, image retention can be pretty bad when the display isn't 
full warmed up, and is especially noticeable on certain colors like 
grays or whites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a phone so focused on the advanced technology behind its screen, 
the screen itself feels like a very real step backwards in some ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00346" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00346_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00346" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>More graininess - particularly, look at the Hangouts and Gallery icons</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Battery Life</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The G Flex's battery life has been admirable throughout my testing - I
 never was below 25% at the end of the day, and regularly found the 
phone with more than 50% if I'd been using Wi-Fi regularly. A 3500mAh 
will certainly do that, I've found, and I've got to hand it to LG for 
not skimping on the lithium ions in their more recent phones. The 
smaller G2 even has a 3000mAh battery, dwarfing those of its biggest 
competitors, aside from the DROID MAXX, by a fair margin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I generally believe that when it comes to big-screen phones, a big 
battery isn't just necessary to ensure that display keeps on going all 
day long, it's about the whole value proposition of a large phone in the
 first place. If I'm going to carry around something as large as the G 
Flex, I want to know all that extra space inside of it isn't going to 
waste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_DSC00286" height="266" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_DSC00286_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_DSC00286" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="toc-anchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="storage-wireless-and-call-quality"></a></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Storage, wireless, and call quality</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The G Flex comes with 32GB of internal storage, roughly 24GB of which
 are available to the user out of the box. There is no microSD slot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your standard host of wireless features abound in the G Flex - Wi-Fi 
A/B/G/N/AC, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and even an IR blaster (which somewhat 
annoyingly is on the back of the phone, not the top). Mobile network 
support varies by market, but the Korean variant I have here supports 
LTE Advanced networks in its home markets, though the LTE does not 
function stateside on AT&T's network. Presumably if and when the G 
Flex arrives in the US, it will have LTE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Call quality on the G Flex has been acceptable, though unremarkably -
 I definitely prefer how my Nexus 5 sounds when making a call, and it 
seems like people have an easier time hearing me on the Nexus, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Audio and speaker</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Headphone audio on the G Flex has been excellent, courtesy of 
Qualcomm's audio hub and headphone amplifier which are part of the 
Snapdragon chipset. The external speaker, though, appears to be the same
 unit on the LG G2 and Nexus 5 - and it's still not very good. I think 
big phones should have big, powerful speakers. The G Flex does not have 
such a speaker. It's relatively quiet, the quality leaves a lot to be 
desired, and while it's adequate for notifications, like the Nexus 5's I
 simply don't enjoy watching videos with it. It just doesn't sound very 
good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Camera</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apart from the lack of optical image stabilization, the G Flex is 
using the same camera found in the G2, and that's to say a very good 
one. The absent OIS will mean poorer performance in low light or with 
shaky hands, but the imaging unit itself is still capable of some very 
respectable results. Check out the samples below (hill scene is no HDR 
vs with HDR).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Software</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Performance and stability</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Korean version of the G Flex I've been using is set up for SK 
Telekom, but I've not had any problems other than a lack of LTE support 
here in the US. The Snapdragon 800 chipset runs fast, smooth, and 
handles most tasks with ease. It's basically just like using a G2, and 
potentially even quicker, as the G Flex is pushing a lower resolution 
display.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There haven't been any odd crashes or other strangeness that I've experienced.</div>

UI and features</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've read my review of the G2, you know what to expect when it 
comes to the G Flex. There are some minor changes to LG's UI layer, 
though, and I'll go through the ones I've noticed in this section. 
Otherwise, just head to the G2 review
 and read that - not much has changed, at least not enough to warrant a 
brand-new write-up. Here are the new features worth glancing at, though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Swipeable navigation buttons:</strong> This is an interesting
 one, and I've not seen it on any other phone. The G Flex has an option 
to allow you to push the virtual navigation buttons to the left or right
 extremity of the navigation bar. Just swipe left or right from the edge
 of the screen in the nav bar, and the the buttons will squish up 
against the opposite side. Nice idea, LG. I'm not exactly certain I'd 
use it, but it's novel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Swing lockscreen:</strong> This is LG's rather lame attempt at mimicking Apple's <a class="external" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">equally-useless parallax effect</a>,
 but its intrusiveness is limited to the lockscreen wallpaper. When on 
the lockscreen, tilt the phone up or down (vertically), and the 
wallpaper will slide up and down in an attempt to correspond with your 
motion. The problem is that it works really, really badly. I didn't even
 notice it at first, because the lag between your motion and the 
wallpaper actually moving can be anywhere from 1-3 seconds. It's pretty 
dumb.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Dual screen mode:</strong> LG's decided to copy Samsung's 
Multi Window feature, and they're calling it Dual Screen. Just hold the 
back button and drag two apps onto the top and bottom of the screen, and
 voila - <em>multitasking!</em> If you exit a dual screen instance, just
 hold down back again and the phone will remember it as a "recent" item,
 which is certainly nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, and settings UI is now themed black instead of gray, if you're excited about that sort of thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Conclusion</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The G Flex is an interesting smartphone science experiment, but it's 
also little more than that. It's mostly identical to the G2 in terms of 
software, which rather quickly made it less than easy to love for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it's the oddly underperforming display that really makes the G 
Flex stand out. For a phone so focused on demonstrating new display 
technology, the G Flex can be a real eyesore in certain conditions. It's
 certainly not up to par with the IPS panels the company is producing, 
I'll say that much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the G Flex really is just a technological test bed - I can't say 
this is a phone anyone should seriously consider buying, unless they're 
absolutely set on having the first phone with a display curved along the
 Y-axis. Like I said in the introduction of this review, this is LG 
showing us what they can do, not necessarily what they think consumers 
will buy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That all considered, I think the G Flex does make apparent the 
advantages of a curved screen. You're less likely to scratch it, it's 
probably a little more durable, and it does seem to make a large phone 
easier and more comfortable to hold. Once the cost and quality issues 
are ironed out - and I'm confident they will be - I really do believe 
curved displays are something that will catch on. And that's not even 
considering the very real "cool" factor a curved screen brings. I can 
already see the overly dramatic commercials being thought up by 
marketing executives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is the G Flex a phone you should buy? Probably not. Is it a concept worth pursuing? I firmly believe so.</div>

 it will still let you shoot down forest critters until your heart's 
content. For the uninitiated, Big Game Hunter is a casual hunting 
simulator. You won't be fending off hordes of blood-thirsty monsters 
here, though some of the animals you come across won't take kindly to 
your creeping around in their neck of the woods.

Big Game Hunter gives you 20 different animals to hunt 
across multiple environments modeled after the American Northwest, the 
arctic North, and other isolated locations. Players have multiple 
weapons to choose from, including rifles, shotguns, pistols, and even a 
bow, if that's more your style. It's not all simulated realism, as there
 are power-ups such as the ability to slow down time and X-ray vision to
 lower the difficulty. You can earn these goodies the good old-fashioned
 way, or you can fork over cold hard cash. Otherwise, the game is

There are plenty of people who already have
 everything, or more likely, have everything that they want. What do you
 get them? Why, a gift card, of course! So Google is making life easier 
for Android fans across the world by releasing Google Play gift cards in
 more countries. The latest one to make the list is <a class="external" href="http://play.google.com/intl/all_jp/about/giftcards/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the land of the rising sun</a>.

Just as Google Play gift cards are available in the US carrying $10, 
$25, and $50, Japanese versions are available in ¥1500, ¥5000, and 
¥15000 increments. It may take a while before retailers across the 
country start to carry the cards, but the ball's now rolling. So the 
next time a birthday or holiday rolls around, feel free to save yourself
 the stress and give someone the gift of Play Store credit.</div>

Google's Android Compatibility Definition Document Says OEMs Must Use White Icons If They're Using Translucent System Bars - But Will They?

adnane 2 News February 14, 2014

<div style="text-align: center;">
This wouldn't require as much of a change from some device 
manufacturers as it used to, as the latest versions of Sense and 
TouchWiz already use predominantly white icons, with green batteries 
being the primary exception for both. Bright colors might sound like 
they would be easier to pick out from content flowing underneath, but a 
green icon wouldn't stand out well at all against a green background a 
developer used thinking all icons would be white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Screens of the developer edition HTC One running Android 4.4 show 
that its icon colors thus far remain unchanged, but this build was 
likely prepared before the aforementioned clause was added to the 
Android Compatibility Definition Document on November 27th. HTC has yet 
to launch an official KitKat OTA for any Sense devices tied to a 
carrier.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It remains to be seen if OEMs will simply choose to ignore Google's 
guidelines and whether they get away with it if they do. Keep your 
fingers crossed. The eclectic world of Android might just become a 
little less so soon enough.</div>

 there's one tragic flaw in the execution of voice actions: they can't

This combination of tools comes courtesy of João Dias, 
the developer of the AutoVoice Tasker plugin. The latest update to this 
non-Play Store app allows you to launch Tasker actions by speaking 
directly to Google Search via the microphone button or the "OK Google" 
command. (Or you can do a text search, if you want to be boring and 
ordinary.) If you have a Moto X, one of the new DROIDs, or a Nexus 5, 
you can initiate the command without touching your phone. Auto Voice 
uses the Google Now API for the Xposed Framework to "listen" to the 
searches, then interprets them as commands or directions for Tasker. You
 can associate any Tasker action with any search performed in the Google
 Search app. The possibilities are nigh limitless. </div>

Here's a dramatic demonstration from YouTube user Armando Ferreira:</div>

Obviously, all of this requires quite a lot of setup. 
You'll need a rooted phone, the Xposed Framework, the Google Now API for
 Xposed, Tasker, and the latest version of the Auto Voice Tasker 
plugin... and that's just the basics. You'll still need to create Tasker
 actions or profiles that do the specific actions you require, and of 
course all the nifty home automation stuff shown in the video requires 
external hardware and setups. Even so, it's an awesome way to interact 
with your device. I hope Google and Android manufacturers are listening.

Here are all the necessary components. Again, you absolutely need root to get all this to work.  </div>
