Apparently some free apps I want aren't available in my region (yay!). Is there a way around this? I tried using OpenVPN for Android with no luck, so maybe I have to make and use a different google account? Alternately, is there's somewhere I can grab the apks? The search results for apk files look sketchy as gently caress so far.

So the new update to the Nike Plus app has some interesting permission requirements:quote:Allows the app to read data about your contacts stored on your tablet, including the frequency with which you've called, emailed, or communicated in other ways with specific individuals. What the heck are the legit requirements for those?

How about recommendations for an app that will let me play my FLAC files from my media server over Wifi? Not streaming anywhere I am, but it is just a SMB/NFS share set up for any access and stored in files/folders. Anyway to do that on my phone?

So is it just me, or has the Adblock Plus app just completely poo poo itself over the last couple weeks? It seems that no matter what list I'm using, whenever I have filtering on Chrome just plain won't load any pages whatsoever.

I've got an LGE LG-MS770, and it JUST got stolen / possibly lost. Is there ANY remote app that will work with this thing so I can find it? I really need help.

ante posted:Sounds like there's a story here that I would like to hear. I work as a manager of a SILP Program, I help CYA (California Youth Authority) and Foster youths transition into adulthood. Basically I (at 20 years old) have to tell people sometimes up to 5 years older then me to stop doing drugs and to pull their poo poo together. This is a big change from a bout a month ago when I was the guy being told to pull it together Of course one had to call his mom (I'm loving stupid,) and I let him (because I'm an idiot,) and he left without returning it. (STUPID STUPID STUPID.) Good news is it's a cheap 100$ phone, bad news is that if I don't get it back, I now have to make the decision of whether or not to report it to his probation officer. If I do, he goes to prison for the maximum amount of time, and I get more pissed because he's an rear end in a top hat for putting me in this situation to begin with. But I'm bitching and don't want to derail. So, yeah.

Right now I'm using SwipePad as my task switcher - swipe in from the bottom of the screen, better than long pressing home in my use - but I'm wondering if there's anything better at it out there.

Well speaking of anti theft apps, how is "Prey". I installed it on my razr m, but I didnt do anything fancy except just set up an account and make a password to uninstall it. I didnt install software on my PC, but I dont know how beneficial that is.

It's basically a non-rom-dependent version of ParanoidAndroid's PIE. It's more of a Navbar replacement but I like it because I can trigger the notification and quick settings menus from the side where my thumb can actually reach.

I'll stick with SwipePad for multitask shifting, just 'cos I can see recent apps and then pick one in a single swipe without lifting my finger (the only other thing I've seen that can do something like that is WaveLauncher), but I might use LMT for something else.

Not that I've found. I've said it before and I'll say it again, swipepad rules. Yeah, the recent apps button is nice, but being able to quickly access widgets and shortcuts is so handy. My personal favorite is having an sms quick compose shortcut, so I can send a text at any time, without having to leave where I'm at.

How do you use SwipePad for multitasking as opposed to just launching a set collection of apps? Is there a plugin or something I didn't notice?

This seems promising. I'm going to quote the XDA article on it: XDA posted:Cloud based services such as Google Music can be a major convenience for those with a large collection of music and limited storage space. This author, for example, can barely remember what it was like not being able to access his entire library from anywhere with a half decent Internet connection. The only complaint that myself and some other creatures of habit have, is that we can’t simply access these files via the music player we’ve been using for so long and become so accustomed to. Cue XDA Senior Member bubbleguuum and his application, GMusicFS.
