My folks have just started using my old phone, any recommendations for a widget to toggle Wifi / 3g? The one that comes with sense doesn't have a data toggle (froyo btw)

I just don't want to give her a lot of stuff she won't use - for her, Angry Birds and internet youtube videos are all she'll want, and I'm hoping to throw some educational stuff on there as well (though I've found Angry Birds requires certain thinking skills to do it well)

gucci mangosteen posted:Elixir 2 Widgets looks nice, I'm not sure if the icons are skinnable but it does have different backgrounds whose transparency levels you can change. It's also really customizable, and you can add toggles and app shortcuts in alongside your system info. I just installed it as a stand-alone, I didn't need all the other stuff the main Elixir 2 app does but it offers some expanded functionality.  Wow, that's perfect. Thanks, can't believe I didn't come across that in all my searching!

What is the best Any.Do replacement out there which would allow me to set the background on the widget as transparent? Wish Any.Do allowed for this.

At the same time, I think a $200 Nexus 7 would make an excellent gift for an 8 year old.

Does anyone have any suggestions for themes on 4.0.3? I was using a transparent theme prior to the update to ICS, and it looked really nice. Also, I'm wondering where exactly my quick on/off for wireless in my notification pane went.

It's slow as hell, the touchscreen sucks hard, but it was $42 shipped. $42 for a device that gets on the internet without problem and watches videos and plays games. Angry Birds Space won't play on it (keeps crashing) and I bought another educational game from the Amazon App store (which works!) and that one crashes as well. So it seems the device's ability to play some apps sucks. I assume this is because of the hilariously low specs of the thing?

It's slow as hell, the touchscreen sucks hard, but it was $42 shipped. $42 for a device that gets on the internet without problem and watches videos and plays games. It could be a few things. The rather low spec, the fact that it is running Froyo, and the fact that it may be missing certain hardware and/or API calls (parts of the OS) that would be enforced on a Google (Playy Store) sanctioned device would be the most likely causes of crashing and other errors. There's almost certainly nothing you can do about any of these but it was $40 and it sounds like you're fine with that.

Has anyone running ics had issues with chrome for Android? On my HTC one x running the stock ics, anytime I swap tabs, all the tabs and website renderings disappear and I have to restart the app in order for it to work again.

Do you really expect to have access to TV channels that you don't pay for?

Oh well, at least I can get my SEC football fix out West. It would be nice if the app had some consistency though, since they obviously don't care if I use my computer but do if I use my phone/Nexus 7.

nexus6 posted:Are there any apps for saving videos from youtube? I'd like to download them on Wifi for watching later. The latest version of YouTube has a setting to preload Watch Later and subscription content over WiFi, so you can just tag stuff as Watch Later and it should download them. Otherwise I haven't seen anything for Android just the usual PC browser extensions.

Is there an IM client that uses as little battery life as Google Talk? I haven't paid attention since 2010 when people were using ebuddy and complaining of dramatic battery drain.

Skype uses very little. I'd imagine most use very little these days though since they should be using C2DM/GCM since forever ago.
