HaxSync does that though it's currently a little buggy on JB and the account randomly disappears.

Request time: Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to post to Facebook, twitter and Google+ at the same time with stuff like pictures being properly included? Preferably with a widget. I just want to bust out an update and have it go to all of them at once.

It works perfectly except sometimes the HaxSync account just disappears entirely. I've had it happen twice on stock rooted GNex and there are some references to it in the app's reviews. Edit: Actually the app description now references it too, there's a fix here which involves manually installing the APK or something: https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync/posts/400095750038501 Tunga fucked around with this message at 11:31 on Jul 22, 2012 |

This is most certainly a stretch, but does anyone know of any mono audio apps for Android? My iPhone (and newer Samsung devices) have a built-in accessibility feature that puts both audio channels into one speakerphone/headphone. I'm deaf in one ear so this is really important to me (and one of the main reasons I kept my iPhone so long). All the ones I see on Play are just for bluetooth devices when making calls. The built-in feature worked for anything on the phone, but obviously it's most important for me for the music since listening to one channel sucks.

What's the best, simplest news app? I had one on my Droid X, but it somehow got lost when I got my SGS3 and it's not even listed in my Play account. The one I had let you choose categories and simply listed headlines from a wide variety of sources. Most of the ones I see have grid-based layouts with big thumbnails or they don't have the categorical listings. I tried Google Reader but it didn't seem to do the categorization thing too well, and I'm looking for something where I don't have to subscribe to a hundred different feeds to get what I'm looking for.

snowman posted:Instagram question, when it saves the hi-res photos to my phone, some come out as 2048 x 2048, the max res, and some are only 1024 x 1024. It's a galaxy s3, and all the photos were taken on the phone's rear camera at full res, with no difference in crop (just sides or top bottom chopped off to make it square, no cropping in). Does anyone else get this? Is there a fix? Some of the awful effects will automatically scale your picture down to a smaller resolution.

me your dad posted:What's the best, simplest news app? I had one on my Droid X, but it somehow got lost when I got my SGS3 and it's not even listed in my Play account. What you're talking about is the News and Weather widget, a.k.a. GenieWidget.apk. There are some instructions out there on how to get it loaded on an SG3. I believe you can do it without root. I actually started using FeedR. The genie widget just scraped Google news for each subject. You can subscribe to rss feeds of each Google news heading. You can also search for a specific term in Google news and then get an RSS feed of the news related to that term which is how the genie let you add your own topics. So I have my FeedR widget set to display the RSS feeds of the World News, Top Stories, Tech News, Science News, Tiabbi Blog and my friend's blog. Since SG3 has weather on the lock screen I haven't missed that part of it.

I don't know if these features are part of Touchwiz or ICS, but my old android phone didn't have them.

Does anyone know where I can find the stock Alarm/Timer/Stopwatch/everything app that comes with Gingerbread Sprint Epic 4G? I just flashed CM9 to my Epic and it's fantastic, but I can't seem to find the alarm app from the stock phone. It was really convenient and easy to use. If this isn't an option, do y'all have a favorite alarm app?

So, I plan on getting the Nexus 7 soon and also plan on getting into comics again. What's the recommended comic book reader? I don't even know what features I would want as I've never read a comic on a device before. Free is always nice, but I'm more than willing to pay, since I'll be getting all my comics as  (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Does anyone have experience with Popup Notifier Plus? I'm trying to somewhat replicate the iOS notification experience. Key points would be: 1. Displaying incoming Google Talk messsages/emails on the lock screen. 2. Having the screen briefly turn on when a notification pops up, so that I can just glance at the phone on my desk without having to pick it up and fiddle with it. 3. Compatibility with a Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean.

Boywunda, just try all the comic apps, they're all free or have a free version. Even the big corporate ones like the Dark Horse app have free stuff that you can try it out with. On the other hand, I do recommend against JJComics Reader because every time you start the app, open a file, or rotate the screen (and there's no rotation lock), there's a nag to pay for it even if you've already paid for it (seriously, the button options are "Donate!" "Not Now" and "Not Again"). Splizwarf fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Jul 23, 2012 |

More comic reader talk: If you have ICS or JB with onscreen buttons, you might want to check out ComicRack as it's pretty much the only reader I've seen that dims the system bar during reading. If you're annoyed by the buttons or just worried about screen burn-in, this might be the best choice for comic reading.

http://www.slashgear.com/unbelievably-high-android-piracy-forced-free-app-decision-says-game-dev-23239758/ Looks like the developer of Dead Trigger made the app free and blames piracy for it. In his words: "Regarding price drop. HERE is our statement. The main reason: piracy rate on Android devices, that was unbelievably high. At first we intend to make this game available for as many people as possible – that’s why it was for as little as buck. – It was much less than 8$ for SHADOWGUN but on the other hand we didn’t dare to provide it for free, since we hadn’t got XP with free-to-play format so far. – However, even for one buck, the piracy rate is soooo giant, that we finally decided to provide DEAD TRIGGER for free. Anyway – DEAD TRIGGER is not FREEMIUM, it always was and still remains FREE-TO-PLAY, that means, all players are able to play it without IAP! We stand up for this statement, because all members of our team are playing (and enjoying) DEAD TRIGGER without IAP” Madfinger Games" Now Slash Gear is claiming that this will harm Android and their own research backs it up that Android users are pirates. Honestly, this all stinks of lies. The game apparently DOES have IAP to get more items or money. It also sounds like they want some advertising.

I mean...who cares if people pirate it? How does making it free get you more money? However, I think the important part they left out is that there are direct costs to them with each install. I'm not familiar with whether their game has some sort of server component that they maintain, but I'm sure there are support costs involved. Returning emails from people who pirated the game and can't get it to work costs money with no return on investment.
