Is slideit any good, or should I just wait for swype to support the galaxy nexus? Its on the market for .99 right now.

I prefer slideit to swype. I started with sliedit so that might be why, though. Main reason I prefer slideit is when I go with an incorrect word, hitting delete takes out the whole word in one go rather than having to hit delete for every character. Note that I only spent five minutes with swype before deciding to go back to slideit.

Will Car Home ever be updated for ICS? Unless Google has decided to stop support for this app, it seems kind of ridiculous that it has not been updated yet.

I've been using Car Widget on my GN. You add a widget to your home screen instead of having a second car mode home screen. One of the themes copies Google Car Home very well so I don't miss the actual app at all.

I have two questions regarding Facebook stuff:
1) Am I crazy, or did the official FB app, right after the redesign, let you see a sort of photo newsfeed? As in, you could tap the newspaper icon, then choose "news feed", "photos", etc.

2) Is there a scrollable, resizeable widget that works for ICS? I've tried Wizz, but it shits itself when I first tell it to refresh ("Unfortunately, Wizz has stopped"). Colorize needs me to log in in the Android settings, but that's apparently not available yet in 4.0.2.



1) Yes, you are correct. I'm not sure what happened, but I noticed that the option was no longer available a couple of weeks ago.
2) Any widget at all? I have simple calendar widget on my homescreen. Resizeable and scrolls just fine.

I want to like the Chrome beta but it's tough to surf a page like SA because there's no way to change the size and format of the page. I can make the text bigger but all of the buttons and stuff are still super tiny. Hopefully they'll add default zoom settings into the final version.

Very few forums translate well to mobile browsers. What's wrong with the awful app?

Does the Chrome browser not have a "save for offline reading" feature? I can't find anything.

1) Does anyone else have "Episodes for Android"? Calendar integration doesn't seem to be working, which kind of makes the entire app pointless. Is it just me experiencing this issue?

2) I'm still pretty ticked about not being able to turn off notification sounds while leaving the ringer on. Does the fact that I am now rooted give me an option to fix this without installing a custom rom?

Just tried this and while the app has separate settings for notification and ringer volume, adjusting automatically adjusts the other even if the app displays the two as being different.

Try AudioManager, a goon-loved classic from bygone days. If that doesn't work for you, it's your phone/ROM loving up.

Are you running stock ICS? In Audiomanager I can't modify the notification setting. However, when I move the setting for "ringer volume" the notification setting moves in unison.

I'm trying to buy a book but when I go to purchase it's telling me my credit card is not supported. It's the same credit card I use to buy all my books and apps from the market and I just checked with a few other apps and books and there does not appear to be a problem. Anyone have a clue what the issue could be?

On a related note, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain is on sale for 25 cents if anyone else is interested. I've always heard very good things about this book. Would really like to be able to snap it up for this cheap.

If your friends have tight privacy settings, Haxsync can't update their picture. You have to remove your Haxsync account and log back in to force an update. The developer said he is working on a fix.

I definitely have contacts who have previously had their contact photo update not updating any more. Unless they changed their privacy settings simultaneously and recently(doubt it), it's not an existing problem with the app.

Asking again because I didn't get an answer and I'm persistent: Is there a way to get ICS music controls into widget locker? It's not something I'm going to stick with if I can't get them in there.

For content, Nova Launcher just got an update and it has some pretty sweet new features. Main ones:

-Ability to make the app drawer transparent in degrees.
-Create folders in the app drawer or alternatively create a new group in the tabs at the top of the app drawer.(Prime version only)
-Add 1x1 widgets to the dock
-Activities short cut. Allows you to create shortcuts on the home screen with direct actions(i.e. Compose new email).
-A bunch of other stuff that isn't important to me.

Also sometimes in screenshots I see that people have the apps on their homescreen organised into little areas with a border around them and a title like "games". Like a folder that is always open. What's a good app/widget for doing that? (Or is it an alternative launcher?)
