yamdankee posted:Has anyone tried the Siri inspired Iris? Still being improved upon, but it seems to work pretty well. I used this over the weekend on my rooted Thunderbolt. It kept crashing on me on my 2nd attempt to say something to it. It was weird, it would work for the first time, I would hit the button to say something else, and it would just loop and loop over and over again. I wasn't able to get out of the program either - had to pop the battery out. Strange.

I'm having issues with WidgetLocker. I bought/downloaded it when I found out I can have the ICS lockscreen on my Thunderbolt. So I set everything up, and it LOOKS great, but it's just super clunky. It takes a while for it to unlock, and turning the screen on/off takes a longer time for it to come up. I know it's because of WL, because when I removed it, everything went back to normal. For what it's worth, I'm running CM7.1.

Couch Life posted:I don't know what's up with Widgetlocker but whenever I use it it takes like 2-4 seconds before I can actually unlock the phone. This doesn't happen with the stock lockscreen so I'm at a loss. Running a version of CM7 on Thunderbolt but it's happened with different ROMs as well. Had this same problem. Switched to the latest SoaB Sense ROM and it works $$$.

So, I'm going to be getting a Galaxy Nexus whenever the gently caress it comes out, but I've got my current Thunderbolt rooted. I've got Titanium Backup (paid for), but I didn't purchase it through the Market -- I got a .txt file on my SD with it that acts as the license key. How will this work with the GNex if it doesn't have any removable storage?

Codiusprime posted:I tried to switch to a different browser and everything else is just so, loving, slow. Feels like someone poured molasses on my phone. I'm just holding out for the ICS browser. The one thing I hate about Opera Mobile is the menu takes up like half the screen. It just seems weird, and not very Android like. I, too, am holding out for the ICS browser, but using Opera Mobile at the moment.

x-posting from Android device thread: Well, Google Wallet failed on me last night, just as I had feared that it would! I had added an add'l $20 to the Google prepaid card bringing my prepaid amount to $30. I then got a bunch of poo poo and walked up to the register. The clerk rang everything up, and gave me the total. I unlocked my phone (VZW GN) and placed the back of the phone up to the PayPass thingy. I felt a magnetic pull, and thought Wallet would popup and ask me for my PIN but alas! Tried it a couple more times until I got frustrated and just used my debit card. Couple of things to note: I swapped the battery yesterday to my new extended battery from VZW. That could've done it. I also noticed that I had low signal (3G) when I was in the store, so that could've been it as well, but I don't know. Just reporting my findings.

Maker Of Shoes posted:So I use and like aCar for tracking car related expenses. I absolutely loathe his copy protection bullshit (Pro via paypal, unregistering and reregistering devices). Between all the phone changing and root fuckery I do it's a pain in the rear end to get it all set up and going again. If you're looking at doing strictly fuel, I'd recommend Fuelly (https://www.fuelly.com). It's a web-based MPG calculator, with a mobile interface (http://m.fuelly.com). I used to use aCar as well, but it was loving annoying. Fuelly is cool though.

I just want something simple. Something like the stock Mail client that comes on vanilla phones (the stock mail client on my Skyrocket is poo poo, mostly because there are no checkboxes).

What do you guys recommend for web-based note taking apps that sync with Android? Bonus if it has a Chrome extension. I'm currently using Evernote, but it's...too much for what I need, if that makes sense. Plus the Evernote Chrome extension doesn't really like to work for me.

This looks really good, so I'll probably pick it up the full version for $.99. My main problem with the other 'Tasks' programs were the widgets, and how they didn't really blend with ICS. However, with this one, it's clean as poo poo, and really looks nice.

When it comes to browsers, are people using Chrome or ICS Browser+ on ICS? edit: FWIW, I just found out about Browser+ and it seems worlds faster than Chrome on my CDMA GNex (running CM9). BoyBlunder fucked around with this message at 17:57 on May 23, 2012 |

They seem to update way too infrequently for me to spend $10 on (in addition to the fact that I already spent $10 in the iOS store). Plex would do it. You run a server at home and serve your media out. It's $.99 right now on the Amazon App Store.

When you flash a ROM and use Google Restore to restore your apps, does it also do app data? If so, I won't have to use Titanium Backup anymore!

Since we're on the topic of calendar widgets... My wife uses LauncherPro on her CM7'd Incredible 2, and I'm looking to replace the calendar widget that LP uses with something else. What she's looking for is a calendar widget that allows a month view, and when you click on a day, it launches the calendar app for that particular day and she can add from there. Current LP calendar widget switches to agenda view for the particular day when the month-view day is clicked.

XIII posted:Do you have Rom Manager installed? Some people were having an issue with pictures not showing up in the gallery that was caused by a recent Rom Manager update that put a nomedia file in the root of your sdcard. A recent update fixed the issue, but you'd need to go delete the file. I had this issue, and even though I updated to the "fix", it was still happening. There was no .nomedia file in the root of my sdcard either.

I'm looking for a particular task app. I'm a new homeowner, and I'd like to be reminded to do things around the house on a monthly basis (check the furnace filter, tighten screws, whatever). Sure, yeah, I can make a new google calendar appointment, but as soon as the day turns over, that 'task' is gone. What I'm looking for is: - Ability to do recurring tasks (weekly, monthly, yearly, etc) - Syncs to a web client (Google tasks?) - Has a widget so it's ALWAYS on my home screen I'm currently using 'Tasks' which is fantastic, but it doesn't have a recurring feature. Any idea?

If my phone reboots, the notifications will be gone. I'm looking for something that I can check off as 'DONE' and not see it again for a month. I haven't used Astrid in forever. Is that still a decent app? Will it do this?

Jerk McJerkface posted:Is there a sketch app like Paper for Android? Something dead simple? Also, is there any app I can use to lock out the onscreen buttons? My two year old son playing with the Nexus 10, when using Skitch he'll always bump the home button, and exit the application by accident. It'd be nice if there was an app (or ROM) I guess, that disables or locks out the home button when it's running in the background. I'm not sure how that would work, but it'd be nice to have. Dunno about the sketch app, but with CM 10.1 (maybe previous ones as well), you're able to use an "Extended desktop" through holding down the power button and toggling it. It will make you Home/Back/Recent buttons disappear, and extend the desktop/app to the full screen.

However, I really miss being able to view text messages/missed alerts at the lock screen, like I was able to do on my iphone. Is there any sort of app that will display text messages, at the very least, on the lock screen? I downloaded one that displays the message on the screen, but it goes away after a couple seconds and I still have to unlock my phone and go to messages to view it again or if I miss it. I don't use it as I have a native-popup in CM10.1, but SMS Popup might be able to do this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...C5zbXNwb3B1cCJd
