I would like to formally submit Minima for cool material-ish wallpapers, Cabinet BETA (no idea why it's still beta) for a decent file browser option, and I'd like to second Authy as another option for 2-factor-authentication. For Reddit, I think Slide for Reddit deserves mention too. Fake edit: Also, please add 8pen to the list of keyboards when they eventually release it for like the third time after two failed attempts.

repiv posted:It was taken off the Play Store by Google for using the override-doze permission without good reason, but the Tasker dev says he only ever declared that permission on the manual APK download build, never on the Play Store build. Well son of a bitch.  I'm sure Google knew about the manual APK installs. Doesn't it explicitly ask if it's OK to send data to Google when you try to sideload an app? I haven't done that in ages. Does he have a blog or social media profile he updates? I didn't see that on the Tasker website.

XIII posted:Can Solid Explorer (or any alternative) transfer files from one device to another via WiFi like ES can? I'm ready to ditch it, but I've found that feature pretty handy. I know PushBullet can handle smaller files, but it's nice to have a way to move larger ones. I use airdroid for this, but the second device is always a laptop or desktop, so it might not work as well for you. Thinking about it, I don't know if airdroid supports device to device transfers since I've never tried.

Luceo posted:So will Messenger handle GV text messages when my GV number is not my phone's actual number? I imagine it'd receive them, but will it let me send from my GV number too? Nope, only hangouts works with Google Voice unless I've missed something big. You could probably forward your Google Voice messages to your regular phone number, but that is not fun just going from memory.

I was being a bit harsh, but to be honest, I can never remember a time when I thought Google Voice worked as well as just using my phone's number. There has always been something that didn't work well, or just didn't work at all.

That's a pretty stupid assumption to make, but even if I did, why would that make my point that Google Voice isn't as good as real text messages any less valid? Are you guys that bent out of shape that I've used Google Voice for years and have come to the conclusion that I don't think it's as good as normal text messages? How does LastInLine not know about Battery Saver mode? Where the hell am I?

Kheldarn posted:Is there a non-root required way to keep notifications for specific apps disabled? Updating the apps seems to always re-enable notifications. For example, I disabled notifications for the imgur app, but every time I update it, it re-enables them, and I forget about turning them off until the next time I get one. What version of Android are you on? That seems like a bug or something.

Ok, that makes sense because it still works for me. What's stopping the dev from just generating another set of API tokens to use for more accounts? Probably against their TOS or something? What a weird limit to have.

Kheldarn posted:There's actually a way around it, though. You can enable developer mode on your Twitter account, and generate your own API code. It's what Talon uses to get around the limit. I've generated like 5 API codes on my work account to run reports hitting endpoints with absurd rate limits. I just split up the work between the different creds. Wouldn't Talon/Falcon be able to do that? I wonder if my work Twitter account is gonna get disabled or something! E: that's the REST API, I don't know if Android Twitter clients use a different API.

maltesh posted:I miss Google Now being able to do that, but Google Now hasn't done anything with TV for awhile now. I can't even get the "Listen to TV" command to work any more. Yeah, what happened there? I still get notifications for shows I don't watch anymore because I dropped cable TV. I can't get them to stop no matter what I do. On the flip side, I can't set up new notifications for the few shows I do watch... The iCal thing sounds cool though. I'll try that.

They keep talking about searching photos in Google Photos in the I/O keynote, but it has literally never worked for me at all. I've got tons of pictures of my dogs, my cat, my son, etc, and it always has 0 results for "dog", "cat", and "baby." What am I doing wrong? Do I have to flip a switch somewhere? edit: Actually it works great at photos.google.com, but doesn't work at all on my phone. It even says that nothing is backed up to The Cloud™ even though everything from my current phone is there on the website. edit 2: I've figured it out! There was the Google Photos app that came with my phone, and the Google Photos app that came from the Play Store. For whatever the hell reason, installing/updating from the Play Store didn't jive with the bundled version of that app. I disabled the bundled version, and cleared the cache and data for the Play Store version and now everything is peachy.

Does anyone have the issue with hangouts where you tap a notification, and the splash screen never fades away? It happens to me once a week at best, and multiple times a day at worst. This has plagued me through my GSIII running CM and now my bone stock Droid Turbo. You end up having to back out to the conversation list, but now whatever conversation you were trying to read is marked as read. It's a real treat when you just want to reply to a text quickly.

The other day, my company told everyone to update their email signatures to be these new fancy pants HTML email signatures. We use Gmail, but amazingly, the Android Gmail app has no support for HTML signatures or using the same signature I have set up in regular non-mobile Gmail. Is there a (free?) email app that supports Gmail and HTML signatures?

Eikre posted:I don't really feel like setting up a gmail account on my phone to test, but what happens if you just open up <html> tags in the plaintext? Seems to me that you could just copy the source code. Might not fit in the Signature field if you're using some bullshit base64 JPG, though. The thought occurred to me, but doing that on a phone seems like a pain in the dick since you have to jump through hoops to view HTML source on Chrome for Android. Might as well try I guess. E: Yeah, that worked about as well as could be expected. It treats it like plain text, and doesn't convert any tags to HTML. If it does do any conversion, it just esacpes the HTML. So that's not an option. I have a plain text signature in place, it's just stupid that I can't use one signature across devices. Mogomra fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Sep 15, 2016 |

What's a good email app that has a unified inbox for all my accounts (gmail and outlook) but also is secure and isnt shady as gently caress? Bonus points if it fits a blue theme, since Gmail's glaring red theme is.. A little much. Rip, CloudMagic.  I can't tell if the new subscription thing is just for their extra features, or the whole email client.

I've been talking to my brother for a few minutes on Allo, and it's pretty much just "Well, I guess this puking sticker is kinda funny in a childish way." I tried texting myself from Allo, and it came through from a short code. Then Hangouts told me it would cost money to reply to it. That is streamlined as gently caress, and not a super lovely experience at all.

Of course you could always just create a new shared calendar specifically for sharing events between 3 Google accounts (and then their phones) but that might be a little more work than it's worth depending on how much you need to do that.
