Are there any good apps for viewing just photos on Tumblr, like a gallery just for photo posts? I know iPhone has imgTumble, which seems like it works OK, but I haven't seen anything similar for Android.

So, I bought Asphalt 6 HD but the game doesn't start. It shows the intro video and then exits. Is anyone having the same problem? I have a Samsung Galaxy S2.

edit: uninstalled the game and deleted all the data, reinstalled and it works!

One of the 10c apps is pano, a pretty good panoramic camera app. If your stock camera doesn't do panoramic, it's worth picking up.

Holy gently caress that game, uninstalling it, because it gave me the worst case of "One More Turn" that I've had in years.

You should go ahead and just get Plume. That's what I went back to after the initial shine of the new Twitter went away. They just released version 2.80 and here's the changelog for that again:


  • Add TweetMarker support to save/restore your reading position across multiple devices (off by default)


That was enough for me to try it out for about 5 minutes and decide to buy it. I've been waiting for that feature to be released ever since I got my Evo4G

For what it's worth, I think Grand Prix Story (also by Kairosoft) is even better. Rather than a game development studio, you're running a car race team. It's wonderful.

Not that I'm complaining since they are a dime, but what's with the recycled apps? I thought it was 10 days of 10 apps for 10 cents. Math tells me that's 100 apps, not 92 or something...

I'm thankful and all, just sayin'.

So far, the trends of this sale per day seem to be one game by EA, one children's book, one live wallpaper, and one racing game. Am I missing any?

That'd be nice. I used the free phone version in getjar and it ran better on my touchpad than the WebOS version ever did.

Too many game apps, lack of utility apps tbqh. Maybe I got spoiled on the first day.

Kind of a strange question here, but I have an old Hero and the audio amp/DAC has pretty rolled off bass. Is there an app out there that will stream digital out from a music player like winamp through the usb so I can run that through a separate usb DAC?

I'd rather have more utility apps too, but some of these games are amazing. I had no idea they could be so fun, and GLWG is an unbelievable value at 10 cents. Some others don't have as much replay value but are still worth the money. Then there's some games like (IMO, of course) "official" tetris and wallpapers, where I just have to think why bother.

I used to have the Droid Eris (Verizon's rebranded Hero), and I'm pretty sure the audio line in the HTC extUSB connector is from the same source as the headphone jack. I'm not aware of any other way to stream audio from it, except putting it in mass storage mode but that would only work for MP3s and such.

The USB is client-only, too. They didn't add host mode until 2.3, which the Hero will never fully support.

What are some nice and clean / minimalist GO SMS themes? I am running with my own colors right now but I'm curious to see what's out there for non-lovely ones. Paid is fine if it's worth it.

Same question for GO Launcher, actually. I've been using Matted Oranges with the FineLine orange MIUI theme and the two go well together but it still feels lacking somehow.

I'm also glad to see SwiftKey is updating regularly again, though they still haven't provided a way to see / edit all learned words, and disabling the voice key still leaves it on the keyboard as a non-functioning key. Those are my only remaining complaints about the keyboard I have. It'd be perfect otherwise, though having more user settings would be good too.

So I've been trying out various TTS apps for use with Speaktoit, FBReader, etc. and I was just wondering what do most people here use for TTS?

So far my favorite is Ivona. Getting the voices installed is a little tricky, but its not bad considering they are all in free beta right now (can test the voices out at http://www.ivona.com/en/ ). I also have Svox Grace, which is a step above Pico (not saying much). Anyone here used Loquendo? How does it compare to Ivona?

I'm using Go Locker for an ICS-style lock screen. However, maybe 20% of the time I unlock my phone the normal lock screen comes up first, then Go Locker after I do the normal slide unlock. I'm running a beta AOSP-based ROM that unfortunately doesn't have the option to disable lock screen. Any other ideas on how to resolve this issue, besides just giving up my nice looking lock screen?

WidgetLocker. The new default style is an ICS-alike and it's far nicer than Go Locker ever was for me.

*EDIT* Sorry if that seemed dismissive. Go Locker has never worked terribly smoothly for me, and I just assume that weird things like that are the fault of the app, since it seemed pretty janky when I used it. I picked up WidgetLocker and it did exactly what I wanted it to do (be an ICS style lock screen) and more.

The main reason I don't really want to try WidgetLocker is because the AOSP lockscreen is mostly good enough for me, so free is about the most I'll pay for a replacement, at least for now. I also wasn't sure if WidgetLocker would have the same problem, as it might be a weird setting or bug in the ROM, right?
