I need to do a factory reset. What should I use to make backups of stuff like messages or anything else semi-important? I'm not rooted, by the way.

I've got an app question, I'm running diceplayer on my standard One X running sense ics. Generally it's great but it randomly pauses for no reason during playback. I've tried google and couldn't find a solution or even forum for this app. Anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone using PowerAmp tell me if it saves playlist files? Whenever I have a problem with Winamp I have to remake the thing each time.

I just picked up the Galaxy S3 which is a huge upgrade for me but I'm looking for a few recommendations: 1: Some sort of security/anti-theft app. I've used theftaware and avast in the past but am wondering if there's something more people recommend here. Just something that will lock the phone down if sim card is switched as well as something that gives me remote access to check gps location, sound an alarm, and other useful stuff like that. 2: Anybody use a good speed dial widget? I used to use Go Launcher and liked their 4x4 contact widget for quick access to call/text people. I'm using Nova for now.

Just got my android up and running again after rooting it and installing CM on it. I'm looking for a good health bar style battery widget. I know about the one with the hearts ala Zelda, but I'm looking for something more like megaman or street fighter style life bars. anybody know anything along those lines?

LastInLine posted:Does TouchWiz not do contact cards or dialer shortcuts? it does, but I'm using Nova launcher. I don't know if Apex would handle it better natively either. I just really prefer something like how the Go widget works. It was pretty sleek looking and very functional with the scrolling, not to mention it's much easier having a widget set to display my starred contacts group. I can certainly dedicate a home screen to a bunch of individual contact widgets but that's only if I can't dig up a better widget first.

It's worth a purchase. Not only do you get a Contacts widget that will do just what you want, but it's themeable and all of APW work with any launcher you end up using. Plus you get a ton of other useful widgets (social media feeds, calendar, etc).

Thanks, I'm going to check it out. I'm also on the hunt for a good 30 day calendar widget so hopefully this works for that as well. e: this is perfect, thanks again! Teeter fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Aug 29, 2012 |

I'm the developer of Beaver, can the OP please update the first post? It's no longer called Beaver, it's now called Frost - apparently the word beaver means vagina in some countries. If you do any   browsing on your device check it outI just released a new update last night, cleaned up the interface quite a bit as well as adding tab sessions. I created a quick menu in the tab bar, so that should remove the clutter that was happening in the options menu. I'm planning on eliminating the options menu entirely in the future seeing as how a lot of new devices simply don't have them.

Some things are ridiculously improved over the other two. For instance setting up the network browsing was actually easy compared to difficult for ES and Solid I never got to work at all. The Holo action bars/icons/menus work really well without being cluttered or looking janky. I think the whole thing actually looks really nice although I wouldn't mind additional interface options. They also finally got rid of that Cupcake/Donut-era icon. Overall it's a nice file browser but the featureset just isn't there for what I'd use it for and it's got a few teething issues around the interface concept that need to be addressed but for what it is it's a surprisingly good first effort.

The Sense 4 clock I'm running only shows the forecast through the rest of today, so I'm assuming that it'll stop working after today.

How exactly does the movie card work? Is it meant to be if you are driving by a movie theatre? I've tried asking what movies are playing etc but nothing is working.

It's pretty cool that Google Now updates aren't tied to the OS but instead can come via Play Store updates to Google Search. We've known for a while that Google is constantly improving the natural voice search on the backend but this shows they can do significant incremental improvements to it without having to worry about whether carriers and OEMs will get OS updates out. Presumably this means that as long as a device is on the Jelly Bean API level then Google Now will not lag in usability for the life of the device. Considering the quantity and quality of the data collected through Now and its value to Google this kind of polish is to be expected but it really stands in such sharp contrast to the stuff they clearly give no gently caress about. Looking at Now and Maps and then at Reader or Play Music and you can really see where the attention falls.

Google Now is coming along nicely; they really need to add college teams to the Sports card. Also, the new Astro update (overhaul/facelift) is pretty awesome.

As for Astro, I'm really impressed but if they don't have any intention of doing root stuff and text editing then it can't do 75% of what I do in a file browser. The UI though is a great move in the right direction and I'm not going to uninstall it because I want to see it evolve.

Ragingsheep posted:Surprised that Google haven't released it for ICS devices since updates aren't tied to the OS. Considering that its been hacked to "work" already, official support can't be that difficult. I haven't been keeping up with the hacked Now. What exactly is involved with getting it to run on Ice Cream Sandwich?

Just flash something in recovery that replaces the old search apks. Works ok although a little buggy and I believe that the voice is still based on ICS and not JB. I played around with it on 4.0.4 and I haven't noticed anything significant differences since upgrading to CM10.

I asked it for "Patriots score" during a pre-season game and it just did a regular google search. Maybe google doesn't care about pre-season? I even just said things like "Patriots" and "New England Patriots" but all of them just turned into regular searches...maybe that will be enough so when the season starts, it will get a card? It would also be nice if the card had more than just the current/most recent score...things like trade/injury news, next scheduled game, etc... Edit: Well, gently caress me, I can just go into it's settings and add a team. Double edit: Yeah, still doesn't have any info on the pre-season game from last night...oh well, who cares about that anyway?
