I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Seconding this. It also will let you take a picture with the volume rocker buttons, and a bunch of swipe shortcuts.
It actually lets you customize what functions the volume rocker should have, as well as a bunch of other buttons, if your device has them. It's pretty awesome. Better than Vignette, in my opinion.

What's the closest approximation to ios's 'app folders' you can get for android? Everything seems to involve setting up widgets that you then manually add apps to through a list. I'd prefer to just drag and drop. Is this possible?

Edit: never mind, realised that Go Launcher EX does this so I'll just use that.

Are you talking about a folder on the home screen with apps in it? On earlier versions you just long press and choose folder. On ICS you just drag one app on top of another and it makes a folder.

That is how it works in go launcher. However, I didn't like the underlay icon even when you replace the icon (it puts this gradient behind them so you know it is a folder) . I'm just using folder organizer for folders anyway so it doesn't matter.

I've been having some music issues on my new GN. First of all, Google Music seems to be trying to sync my entire library (80 gigs) onto my phone, which I absolutely don't want but can't seem to undo. I can stop it from downloading by telling it to only use Wifi, but that doesn't delete the que. On top of that, not all the songs I currently have on my phone are even showing up. I had everything I wanted on my OG Droid and just moved the whole music folder over, so I don't know why it doesn't work unless it's got to do with ICE being so different from Android 2.2 or whatever old rear end version was on my last phone. Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Sooo, I'll ask the opposite. How did you tell google to make all of your music offline? I've been trying to figure it out since my Note has a 32 gig sd card (tee-hee).

As for your issue, I'm not sure.

I don't even know. I checked off like 5 albums to be uploaded and the next thing I know there's like 4,000 songs and a few audiobooks in line to be sent to the phone. I think it did it all automatically via the Google Music Manager program on my computer. I think I might have to change the settings there, then uninstall Music on my phone, and start over, because as far as I can tell there's no way to clear the cue (this kind of bullshit is why I stopped using iTunes way back in the day...)

edit: I just cleared the cue by clearing the app's data in the main app settings, just in case anyone else was wondering how to.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just move the music to the SD card using a computer? If all of your music is on the card you wouldn't need to turn on the streaming feature at all.

I agree, which is why I transferred all my songs directly the first time. The problem is, several hundred megs worth of songs (including most of the stuff I listen to most often) simply don't appear in any music player I've tried. It's like they aren't even on the phone, and they worked fine on the previous phone.

Thermopyle, are you aware of any issues with Woofi and ICS? I'm having a problem with the app not restarting WiFi when I reach one of my designated locations. It will turn it off just fine when I leave, but won't do anything when I get back. I've turned off the "travel time" setting to see if that helps.

I ask because I have just shy of 20,000 songs on it and my phone storage is unaffected. And I have access to everything minus some obscure encoded wma poo poo or really hosed up bitrate tracks.

Yeah, but unless I'm failing to grasp something basic here, why would I want to automatically download dozens of gigs of music to my phone when there's only about 5 gigs I want to have, and everything else can stream when I feel like it? The only songs I really want on my phone are what I listen to when I'm working out, or on the train, and just some songs I really like. Everything else can just sit on my home computer and I can stream it. Why would I want all that stuff taking up space on my phone? It isn't just saying "hey I synced to your google account so you can stream all these songs," it's going "hey by the way I'm downloading 4,000 tracks to your hard drive!"

Not sure, but this might have been your problem. Were you trying to avoid redownloading everything by moving the cached songs over? I doubt this would work, as I'm pretty sure it does some indexing as it downloads the songs. You probably need to delete that folder.

I'm going to do that, and then re-upload all the music from the Droid into a separate folder apart from the rest of my PC's music. Then, I'll upload that to Google Music, and store it on the new phone. Maybe that will unfuck everything. There's got to be a better way :/

Ok, I figured out what was wrong with my music, but not how to fix it yet. Somehow, Google Music has categorized a couple thousand songs into an "Unknown Album" under one of the bands I was tagging for offline use. Thus, all these songs were being added to the download cue. Unfortunately I have no clue how I'm supposed to remove them, because same "album" doesn't exist on the PC-side interface, and can't be deleted from the phone-side interface :argh:

edit: Oh God the same album exists in most of my other bands, what in the gently caress happened :gonk:

so manually move a few gigs or use win amp or something to micro manage local music and use google for cloud services? That's what I've always done. That way I have music if I'm in dead areas or have poo poo service .

I did all that first. I'm not used to cloud computing yet so I didn't even turn to Google Music until I got frustrated by trying Winamp, Btunes, and DoubleTwist, only to have all of them start making GBS threads the bed when it came to actually detecting a bunch of my songs (even after I messed around with setting and moved folders and files around). I've gotten everything taken care of now, but it's taken more micro-management of Google Music than I wanted, because for some reason it's spreading hundreds of unorganized songs across a bunch of different bands that they don't belong in.

I've probably got to sit down one of these days and manually re-categorize all those tracks so that the organization isn't totally hosed.

I use Milocker with the va asteria lockscreen. It has a missed calls and an unread sms count and lets you unlock to sms. As a bonus it does not show a preview of the message on the lockscreen, I never understood why manufacturers did that. Pretty minimal lockscreen too.

As far as I know, you can't.

My organization is decent up to a point. Most of the stuff I've stored on my hard drive within the past 7-8 years is well organized (folders sorted by band -> album), everything before that is terrible. All that stuff from high school is just kinda lumped into a big folder of stupidity. I should just delete the whole folder, it's a monument to terrible taste in music anyways.

Huh, they took Miren Browser off the Market. Here's an old version I found on xda but in the thread people also recommended Boat Browser as a Miren replacement.

As for the ICS camera, I'm sure it requires some support in the ROM to work.
