I guess if I have the time I can always rip out MacPorts and if it doesn't work do a Time Machine restore but if I can avoid that I'd like to.

I'm finding the stock Music player on the Moto X and N5 to be a bit lackluster for my audiobooks. I REALLY like the fact that I can tap into my Google music library so adding them is a real cinch but I'd really like something that has buttons for skip ahead/behind 10/15 seconds or so for when I miss something. I also found that it lost my place when I switched to listening to some music. What's the best recommendation to replace and keep those key features? Thanks!

I'm using the free version of MX player but it gets choppy playing mkv files so I don't want to drop money on it in the hope that the paid version is better. It could be that my files are jacked up, but I think it's just the format. This is on a nexus 5 for what it's worth.

Mkv isn't a format. It's a container with stuff in it, so performance is gonna depend on the stuff - codecs, bitrate and so on. Did you try using the different decoders (s/w, h/w, h/w+) if you can? I like dice player too, I think that sometimes plays things smoothly that MX chokes on, but it all depends on the stuff. Worth a try anyway (and it's worth keeping around for the floating window mode if you're into that)

What's a good plaintext note syncing app? I've been using Evernote but it feels way overkill for my needs (and it's stopped syncing for no apparent reason). I prefer working in plaintext anyway so I just need something simple that'll sync to Dropbox and maybe Box or SkyDrive.

I use Keep a ton because I'm constantly jotting notes, which later get fleshed out in Drive. I really wish you could filter them by color. Also, being able to pin a single "note" to a home screen as a widget would be fantastic.

Does anyone with SwiftKey notice that it just flat out refuses to learn some words. Particularly cuss words and some other random things such as names (in my case "Jenn" and "Endymion") despite how often I might type those names in and force it to take what was typed? Hell, I even have a phone contact of Jenn so I have no clue why it can't seem to get this right. It's driving me nuts and I'm close to wanting to ditch it for another keyboard solution.

SwiftKey in general seems pretty shaky for the last few weeks. It forgets words it definitely has learned before and sometimes simply ignores that it's supposed to support different languages at the same time. It's still great, but I used to like it better before all that strange behavior started.

Yeah, the automatic correction is kinda finicky, especially when swiping. Curse words will be in my suggestions when tapping, but never when swiping.

When SwiftKey acts up and doesn't learn new words or forgets words it definitely has learned before try to delete its app data/cache. Happened to me a couple of times and this always fixed it.

Speaking of SwiftKey, does anyone have issues with it 'remembering' that it is your default keyboard after phone restart? Every time I reboot my phone, I have to re-set it as my default keyboard, which is getting annoying.

This was a bug on Samsung devices that had certain versions under 4.2 IIRC. It was fixed in most major samsung models such as the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 with software updates.

I really like Smart Audiobook Player, though I don't use Google Music so I don't know about the syncing bit. Basically you point it to a folder and it scans subfolders for books, automatically merging multi-file books and keeping tracking of where you were. I assume you could just point it to the appropriate place for syncing. In the full version it has 10 second forward/back skip, multiple bookmarks, adjustable playback speed, various other options. I don't remember how much I paid for it.

It's not exactly an app question, but this is probably the most apt place to ask. Is there a way to make it so that Android does NOT show the unlock interface immediately when I press the power button to bring it out of sleep? I would prefer it to not show the number pad/dot grid/whatever until I do a swipe action for unlocking the phone, and show my full lockscreen widget instead. Or to put it another way, how the iOS lock screen works. To visually illustrate, this is what it looks like when I press the power button:  What I would like it to be (I currently have to drag the unlock dot grid down):  Is there a way to do this? My Google searches have proven unfruitful. GokieKS fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Feb 1, 2014 |

It's possible but it requires root. Either GravityBox or a CM-like ROM.
