I think GoSMS has the option of displaying folders like that. I don't know why you'd want to give up threaded messaging though.

NavalCasity posted:I'm pretty sure they even mention it on the android market page for Iris, but Vlingo is a much more robust "personal assistant" app. It works gang-busters right out of the gate and once you get used to the commands it can access almost every part of your phone through voice prompts. Plus if you want to be a dick about it to your iOS friends, you can constantly bring up how Vlingo has existed on Android a while before Siri was even announced. Is it possible to create an appointment in Vlingo (or an alternative voice search app) The "Remind me at 11am I have a haircut at 4pm" thing Siri can do sounds really useful.

kitten smoothie posted:The Apple patent specified the lock icon travels down a defined path as you slide it, while the Android versin can be dragged any which way. Widget Locker has an iPhone copy slider though. Guess its easier to get away with if its an app rather than the default behaviour though.

I Dont Like You posted:I love the new WidgetLocker update (used it in the past, didn't really care for it, never bothered again until now), but I have to ask a very basic, stupid question: How do you get rid of the brightness and volume sliders? I cannot seem to figure out how to just have the ICS one. I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing, and boy do I feel dumb... Open Widget Locker (from the App drawer, don't lock the phone) then long press on the slider you want to change. It'll pop up a menu with Edit, Remove, Resize

dynodash posted:Is there a good app for digging into battery life with Gingerbread? The default graph thing that comes with it is very good, but it doesn't tell you anything about individual apps. I'm thinking of what Spare Parts used to do on Froyo and older. Is there a Gingerbread equivalent? Bettery Battery Stats does that. You can get if from XDA, just Google the name and the thread should be the first result.

Better Battery Stats is what you want (have a search on XDA for a free version) I get a tonne of awake time listed under wifi which isn't very helpful, it only started when a couple of neighbours got new access ponits so I guess its just wifi trying to pick my signal out from the mess of networks in the building.

Maybe it depends on your phone? On my Nexus S - Stock Launcher is perfectly smooth but having only phone and browser on the bottom bar annoys me - Go Launcher is perfectly smooth but seems overly complex and not very Android-y (skins the menu for instance). I do like the horizontal app drawer though - Launcher Pro is really smooth except for scrolling in the app drawer which is always janky enough to annoy me (3d on or off) - ADW (free) is just all around slow which makes me not want to fork out for the paid version I'm on Go for now with an Ice Cream Sandwich theme but it looks like I'll be rocking the stock launcher once the update arrives.

Pity all the themes are so ugly. If I give it my Gmail or Facebook login what will it actually learn off? I'd imagine it could make prediction worse if it went back too far into either of those accounts.

atastypie posted:I'm running an old HTC Magic, which is stuck on Android 2.1. The default keyboard and SMS apps feel super laggy, and it is driving me nuts. Can anyone recommend steps I can take to speed things up, including replacing some of the apps? I don't want anything fancy, I just want to be able to open a text message and reply without 5 seconds worth of loading time :S The best results I have had on my Magic was with a version of the 2.2 OTA I found on XDA ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947852 ) and the new radio (which frees up a bit of RAM for the OS) There are plenty of traps though as there are quite a few different and incompatible hardware revisions so watch out if you do decide to go ahead and change the ROM.

soru posted:The search thing taking up space on every page is the biggest offender, but there are a lot of other little tweaks you get used to from other launchers that seem conspicuously absent. Like number of pages, number of rows, etc. It doesn't really take up a row, you still get the same 4x4 area you had available before the bar was introduced. Valid point about lack of customisation available though - especially not being able to change the grid size up to 5x5 or higher (which I'd imagine would be great on the big screen of teh Galaxy Nexus)

Its kind of sticky for me - try toggling between white, custom, and none a few times. Mine will actually no longer go grey (setting it to grey makes the background black) but custom works fine. Pity there needs to be an icon there (whether its visible or not)

You can add your account to market on her phone and download any of the apps you've paid for from there. Might not work from a privacy standpoint though as it seems the second device will have access to your other account stuff like mail too.

What is the best way to set up something equivalent to Airplay on iOS devices? E. I mean the mirroring aspect of it. I see there are various options like on both the tablet (DoubleTwist, Twonky) and on the TV end (Apple TV, DNLA, uPNP) but I'm not sure which if any combination will give the best results. My current setup is a Nexus S phone, Acer A500 tablet and an aging plasma TV and a cheap Bluray player (neither of which have any type of DNLA capability) so I don't mind buying an Apple TV or Xbox or whatever is going to work best. dissss fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Mar 12, 2012 |
