I recommend Power Toggles for adding a customizable toggle widget. It can even add notification toggles for stock/non-touchwiz roms :)

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
Doesn't look like AT&T has that yet, they must be really slow on pushing that update out.

And the controls will vary slightly by carrier too. Like T-Mobile doesn't have Mobile Data for example. There's also a root app that lets you mess with them.

I was looking to add the Google Sound Search widget to my home screen on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus running 4.1, and lo and behold, it's not there. Some google searches talk about unfreezing it with Titanium Backup, but it doesn't show up in the frozen app list.

What's going on, and how can I fix this?

I kept wondering why people recommended a widget program as a notification toggle option. Amazingly, once looked around I realized you can access it through the app drawer and not solely through the widget screen.
Thanks.

Chrome. Missing some features that the other browsers have, but goddamn if the syncing isn't invaluable.

I find the quick controls on the stock browser better than those in ICS Browser+.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Am I right in thinking there still isn't any way to boost volume of...well...anything on a GNex with JB?

I can never hear my phone ring in my pocket unless there is almost no other sound...like, in my car, but I have the radio turned off for some reason. I don't always feel it vibrate, either.

And if I have my phone plugged into the AUX port in my car stereo, I have the phone's media volume all the way up, and still have to have my car radio at around 80-90% volume.

Franco.Kernel will let you boost the volume if you are rooted. There is also Volume+ but I don't know if that works on JB.

Still Opera Mobile.

I find that Chrome renders the desktop version of a number of sites poorly, sometimes worse than stock browser, and I don't like non-desktop versions.

The latest Firefox actually works pretty darn well for me, enough such that it almost replaces Opera. The one feature it's missing is text reflow on zoom. But that's kind of amazing to me, given just how awful the original Firefox Android releases were with their horrible UI. If Opera didn't exist, Firefox is probably what I'd use now.

Franco's kernel only boosts the headphone volume and Volume+ does not work on Jelly Bean.

I'm part of the Chrome ecosystem now (sync basically), but if Firefox did text reflow, I'd seriously consider switching to it. It's pretty nice nowadays, and like you, I'm surprised at how much it progressed.

Chrome.

Opera and Chrome have a nice feature, where if you accidentally click on two links simultaneously, it would zoom in and let you press again on the correct one, instead of just brining you to the wrong page, like on stock.

Edit: because I'm stupid and can't read properly.

Is it just me or does the desktop Play Store's history stop at the "F"s for some reason? It's really irritating...

Ragingsheep posted:

I'm currently running Chrome a lot on my NS4G (recently updated to 4.1.1). I use Chrome on my desktop as my sort-of main browser (I mostly switch between Firefox and Chrome as Firefox can handle tab groups and Chrome can't).

I haven't tried Firefox on my phone in a LONG time but I might try it again.

^^^^^^because the history only allows for a limited list of entries so installing too many apps will exceed the limit^^^^^^

I tried the stock quick controls again and they seem better than I remembered them. I'm not used to not having all the options immediately there like ICS+ though.

The one thing I didn't like about Firefox when I used it a few months back was that a lot of sites have WebKit specific code due to the iPhone and thus the Firefox rendered mobile sites are quite basic in comparison (Google comes to mind).

Also, do any of the browsers allow you to do user agents on a site by site basis?

Speaking of Google Music, the Bass Boost and 3D Sound options I. The Equalizer are greyed out in the JB version of Google Play Music for the Nexus S 4G.

This is incredibly weird because they both worked seemed to work just fine on ICS but seem to be broken on JB.

Go into Settings > Sound > Music Effects and make sure MusicFX is selected.

I'm looking for a particular task app.

I'm a new homeowner, and I'd like to be reminded to do things around the house on a monthly basis (check the furnace filter, tighten screws, whatever). Sure, yeah, I can make a new google calendar appointment, but as soon as the day turns over, that 'task' is gone.

What I'm looking for is:
- Ability to do recurring tasks (weekly, monthly, yearly, etc)
- Syncs to a web client (Google tasks?)
- Has a widget so it's ALWAYS on my home screen

I'm currently using 'Tasks' which is fantastic, but it doesn't have a recurring feature.

Any idea?

If they're on the same day of the week/month each time, why not just make recurring appointments in Google Calendar with notifications turned on?

Try Regularly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ugglynoodle.regularly

Edit: saw the second point; doesn't seem to sync to Google Tasks unfortunately.

If my phone reboots, the notifications will be gone.

I'm looking for something that I can check off as 'DONE' and not see it again for a month.

I haven't used Astrid in forever. Is that still a decent app? Will it do this?
