How to fix: Google Now can't be opened - Network error

Network error. Check your network connections and try again. That's what I got after opening Google Now settings. I haven't modyfied my Google account in any way, everything seemed fine. Then this. All of a sudden. Luckily I've found a fix to this!

I could not access Google Now on my account anywhere on my devices. It just didn't work. I tried to remove Google Search app data, cache, even tried to reinstall the app and whole system.



Fortunately, it's not the problem. You don't have to delete any of your data. If you're having this issue, there's an easy fix for that.

1. Open Google Settings app from your drawer.
2. Open the account history tab.
3. Turn everything OFF.
4. Wait a few minutes and then turn it back ON.
5. That's all! Your Google Now should be setup properly now.

I still don't know what caused the problem but this easily fixed it. Hope that helped you as well!

Transparent status bar on ALL apps on Android Lollipop with Lolistat!

Transparent status bar is really an amazing step pushing forward the UI limits of Android. Firstly it was released when the Android Kitkat came out and it's been a hit for many UI Android designers as the transparent (or translucent, tinted, call it how you want) status bar looks really really nice and it lets the system blend fully with the app.

Unfortunately, not many developers have decided to implement this feature on their apps, thus it's not used as much as it should be.
However, there's a way to get this tinted status bar working on all apps. But how can this be done without modyfing the system files? Xposed Framework.


Lolistat is designed to work on Android Lollipop devices only, if you have older version of Android, please kindly check THIS video to get your tinted status bar working!


You need to have Xposed Framework installed on your device. If you don't have it or don't even what this is, please follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

1. Download Lolistat from Xposed directory
2. Install the app.
3. Enable the Xposed module 
4. Reboot
5. woho!

Before and after. This. On all apps. Enjoy.

An XDA developer made Android Wear compatible with iOS

An XDA developer most of you probably know of, MohammadAG has made Android Wear working with iOS! And how did he do that?

Mohammand used the Apple Notification Center Service, which works as a notification sender to other services and stuff. Pebble watch uses the similar API for this.

See the video demonstration:

The ANCService is at this time limited and have some restrictions. To create this notification bridge between the watch and the phone, you need to install an APK file onto your watch and that's it.

We don't know yet if Mohammad releases the code or not but he'll probably continue and maybe iOS users will have full compatibility with Android Wear before even Google releases it!
