LastInLine posted:I just don't like the over the top skeuomorphism with dials of all things and weird glowy effects. It's a music player that should be designed for touch and to me it looks like what someone who has no idea what UX should be would do when tasked with designing a user interface. It's the kind of thing I'd point to if I wanted to describe xda to someone. I guess that's where we differ, so long as the overall design is coherent within itself (which it is - it's not like some of the terrible Winamp themes where nothing is consistent and the 'designer' just spewed neon all over the place) then I'd rather have that + features than an app which strictly adheres to what Google says an app should look like. Especially as Google seem to change their mind every 12 months, whilst Poweramp has remained consistent for a long time.

I believe he's less saying "I don't like it because it doesn't follow Google's UI design" (in fact he didn't mention that at all) and more saying "I don't like it because of its skeuomorphic design...internally coherent or not". (I agree with that viewpoint)

LastInLine posted:How many apps are you installing? I found that once I had a core group that installing new apps is an exceedingly rare occurrence for me. Well, both me and my wife had to download all our previous iphone apps again for our new phones. I figure it'll be a month before I get to the point where I'm comfortable with the apps I have as well as the phone. It helps that most apps exist on both platforms. I'm totally with you about the rarity of installing since that was me on my iphone. However everything is new and there's way more options for tweaking things than I had before so now I'm just on a downloading spree trying new things for a few minutes then uninstalling if I don't like it.

I think he's talking about using the Mightytext app for tablets to send a SMS via his phone, not sending a SMS using his tablet. Is your N7 3G/LTE enabled? Otherwise it wouldn't be able to send SMS, and even then some carriers explicitly disable SMS function on tablet-plan SIMs.

Well, the way MightyText works is you install their phone app on your phone, and the tablet app on your tablet, and the -whatever- extension on your PC depending on what browser you use. The browser and tablet apps then just talk to the app on your phone to send/receive SMS. MT on your tablet/PC acts as a SMS app, essentially, but you must have the companion app on your phone for it to work at all.

If I may again pimp PlayerPro with the Holo-era skin; it's not as perfectly holo, but it's tolerable and like I said before, the player is pretty close to PowerAmp in a lot of ways:

I've been using Action Launcher as my home app for ages now. The 'cover' folders were the real deal for me for how I like to use my phone. Now with the 1-swipe beta features I can remove Glovebox and all my navigation is done through Action Launcher. Its not just more of the same like a lot of the other popular home replacements. Highly recommended.

Heads up for anyone who ever downloaded/used the Brightest Flashlight Free app:quote:Were you one of the 100 million Android users that downloaded the Brightest Flashlight Free app? Did you conscientiously click "no" when asked if you'd like to allow the app to track your location data? Well, too bad, suckers. Because not only has the FTC revealed that the popular, light-giving app was secretly selling data to third parties, but its "option" to refuse the data collection in the first place was one big, fat lie.

I'm trying out Apex instead of Nova launcher for a while. I like it. Playing with the settings to get it initiated makes me realize something I want: for the landscape version of my home screen to actually be a totally different screen than my portrait, with its own shortcuts and widgets, instead of sharing a little cross-section of overlap. Any way to do that with Apex, or a launcher that does it? Edit- it makes me think that the code is actually meant to support this by default and they kludged the overlap in, because you can turn the screen to the other orientation, go into the "manage screens" interface, move stuff around, and then go back to your initial orientation to find your screens have been weirdly bisected and rearranged piecemeal.

What's really stupid is that it had this option awhile back, completely hidden, then was stripped out, and now they're putting it back? Still, finally can use my 16GB SD card for more than photos of my cats, I guess.

I've been playing with the whole "OK Google" crap lately, and realized it'd be really cool if I could control my music player via voice (at the very least, "next track" and "previous track" would suffice for me.) Are there any players out that do this? Of course, it'd have to acknowledge these commands while the screen is off for maximum effect, and I can already tell I'm probably asking for way too much (I don't have a Moto X, so I doubt my phone [HTC One] is even capable of this.)
