IRC

Andchat is currently abandonware, but it works well enough and supports Samsung's Multiwindow.

qicr is still actively developed, and has both widget and the ability to chat from the notification bar, if you need that. Also, open sores.

IRCCloud has an app that apparently works well with their free tier of service.

Hermes is another IRC Client. Has some UI quirks, but is Material and pretty.

If you use Google Inbox instead of Gmail it's really good at pulling out orders and shipping notifications into a category and giving you icons with arrival dates and a simple tracking link.

Inbox is way better at it than plain Gmail used to be. Still doesn't catch everything, but if you're ordering from Amazon or Best buy or something like that it will usually show up.

Keepass2Android is an app on the Play Store that supports Keepass databases. That's what picked up fingerprint support, not Keepass itself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android&hl=en

Where is the fingerprint support? Been through the settings and can't find it.

EDIT: \/ Awesome. Thanks

I skipped to the half way point in a podcast and hit reload and when I got back it seemed to remember where I was so it seems like it.

I would hope it has that feature. Probably not enough to get me off Pocket Casts since I see no way to add premium podcasts to this list. Would play nicer with my car though...

I've set Tapet to change to a new wallpaper each hour, however, the actual interval seems to be way higher than that and kinda random too, anyone have had anything like that happen to them?

I don't use tapet, but had similar problems with a different wallpaper app. I'd imagine its doze messing with the timer.

Odd. Considering how many third-party Twitter apps there are and the fact that Twitter seems proud of their API, I always assumed it was really developer-friendly.

They were, but then Twitter realized they didn't have any way to actually make money and started limiting the API.

There's no automatic support. You have to craft the Url with the login/pass yourself. After that it works fine though.

Apparently, MediaTracker isn't under active development anymore. Does anyone have a recommendation for an app that scan in new DVDs and BluRays and provide a way to track their location? I need location because every time my shelf space fills up, I move another bunch of disks to a storage bin, and so those bins have no coherent organization scheme. Since I have the inventory in MediaTracker right now, CSV import would also be a really nice feature.

I use Libib for similar purposes, but not sure how you'd do location other than setting up different libraries and manually shifting them around. No idea about the CSV import either.

I'm pretty sure they changed it and it originally referred to GPM subscribers getting access to Youtube Music Premium.

Anyway I asked their support and got this answer back:

Google Support posted:

I know that you're concern as to what's going to happen with your current Google Play Music subscription (I am too!) so I reached out to our specialists to get some updates.

I have good news for you! I've heard back from them and have been informed that nothing will change for all our current active subscribers to individual and family plans (including Google Play Music subscribers), they will be grandfathered into Premium (access YouTube Premium, YouTube Music and Google Play Music) at your current price.

Will they actually force GPM users off? I feel like this is an Inbox situation. When only tech heads switch off it'll just exist as this semi abandoned alternative and the original will coopt the few good ideas it had. Like Snooze.

Who knows. I think they've only said that the subscription service is shifting to youtube music/premium.

I don't really mind GPM though it's probably just hit the threshold for me of "basically good enough".

Really, the only thing I think I'd miss (aside from ad-free Youtube without jumping through hoops, but if that were the only thing keeping me with GPM, I'd be gone now) is the ability to upload my own music.

That's my feelings. I'm sure there are services that are "better", but I've been using google music since before there was a subscription and inertia is a powerful force.
