Olewithmilk posted:Any good free apps for podcasts? Apparently they stopped supporting Google Listen? If you're looking for something that's simple like Listen is, but works phenomenally better, I use ACast. Other things just had too much going on, and ACast is super simple, and even lets you import Google Reader feeds into it if you're transferring from Listen. e: The reviews on the above linked page are very accurate. Definitely use that as a refference. SpacePig fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Oct 25, 2011 |

I was wondering what all of the fuss about WidgetLocker was since I haven't used it in awhile, and man is it nice. I can't remember why I had a hard time with it last time around, but it's much nicer now, and I'll probably stick with it as it now.

LastInLine posted:This. If the widgets you're looking for are Twitter, Facebook and the like, Android Pro Widgets pretty accurately duplicates that Launcher Pro widgets. I don't mind GO Launcher so much, but I really do wish I could go back to Launcher Pro. I don't really know what I miss, exactly, but I miss it.

Syrinxx posted:Catching up on the thread and the launcher conversation prompted me to switch from Go Launcher back to LPP. Man it's so much faster, I just totally didn't notice how god drat S L O W go launcher had become. I don't really care that the guy hasn't updated Launcher Pro in a while because it just works. Haha, I just did this the other day, too. I forgot how fast LPP was, and now that I have more experience with caring for my phone, it's really not as bad as remember it being. Also, I got to free up some space by uninstalling Android Pro Widgets. I'm hoping I don't come to regret this. I also have a quick Tasker question, since I'm pretty bad at it: Is there a way for me to schedule a restart every so often? Alot of the problems that I used to ahve with LPP apparently came from never restarting my phone, and I was wondering if there was a way I could get my phone to do this itself while I sleep.

Roundboy posted:There is a reboot action, so I would assume if you set up a time between 12am and 4am when not on a call and no motion you would be good Somehow, I missed the reboot action before.  Now that I've found it, it ends up that it's not an available action for my device. Whatever, I'll just do it manually form now on, I guess.

Does AirSync only work if you've got DoubleTwist, or does it work independently of it? Also, is it any better at syncing music, specifically, then AirDroid is? e: gently caress it, it's 10c compared to it's normal 5 bucks, so I really can't lose out here. I would still like to know these things, though.

err posted:Anyone use Android's bill to carrier feature? Are there any fees or is it as simple as seeing it billed to my monthly statement? I use this when I can because my bank rejects Google Wallet/Checkout transactions, and I haven't noticed any fees. I imagine, though, that that coms down to the individual carrier. I use T-Mobile.

Manky posted:I'm trying out ADW EX - did they remove the ability to swipe sideways to different catalogs from regular ADW? As far as I can tell, the only way to choose a different one is by Menu -> Choose Group. (Also, what the hell - groups or catalogs, which is it?) There's a Drawer Swiping option in General Behavior -> Gestures that may enable this. I have no idea, though.

Pipski posted:Can I get some recommendations, to save me sifting through all the available possiblities? I need a decent music player, and I'd like it to have a widget with a transparent background option. In fact, is there anything that allows you to edit widgets so you can make them all transparent? I use PowerAMP. It's a pay app, so it might not be waht you're looking for exactly, but it works very well for me, and they just recently updated the widgets with an opacity option, apparently. It also has a lock-screen player option, if that's something you're looking for as well. There's also management by folder instead of tags, which is a plus for some people.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:I've never used it, but it looks like Android Pro Widget's "Timeline" widget mimics Launcher Pro's "Friends" widget. But while APW is free, it costs $2.49 to unlock the Timeline widget. It does have a specific Facebook widget as well. It's what I use, and it emulate Launcher Pro's widgets very well.

I use A-Cast. There is a free version with ads, or a pay version that I can't remember how much I paid. It is very good, and very rarely gives me problems. No widget, though.

I don't know how you catagorized them personally, but if everything is in folders by artist or whatever, PowerAMP has a library option that lets you select from folders rather than tags.

Just wish it had an option for a black background to save my precious SAMOLED's battery life (which is 2500 mah, so I'm not destitute or anything). The app isn't bad necessarily, but for me, the widget was lacking. Plume has a scrollable one.

To piggyback off of that a little, I don't know if it's a hardware thing or what, but I tried to set up an auto-restart for my phone in Tasker a little while back on my G2/Desire Z, and it said that it wasn't allowed. Is this something that's specific to the phone, or is it because I'm using stock firmware?

Lawnie posted:The only thing I don't like is that the math is... too easy. I can do 5 problems on the hard setting hardly even thinking about it. If they were to add some parentheses and exponents it would be a lot more satisfactory, but I can do 9*14+8 pretty darn quickly at this point. I'm the same way with Gentle Alarm. The math is just x*y+a*b. They make me solve 2, but it's the same formula. Is there any way to make these a bit harder?

I like Another World's approach to it, where it says "Do you want to run it", and you can pick now and never heard of it again.

I'll always whore for ACast due to its simplicity. It's as close to Google Music as I got after several podcast apps that just had too much going on.
