I'm sure it's because I'm dumb, but I have a Samsung Infuse 4G (rooted) onto which I'm trying to install the Swype Beta. I froze the original Swype with Titanium Backup and downloaded the beta installer, but after jumping through the hoops and pressing install, I get a "Application not installed" message.

Is there some other package or process I need to kill/freeze before it'll take?

Frozen is still installed. Make a backup of Swype then uninstall it.

Holy cow. Thanks for this. I'm loving the quick controls.

I loved quick controls on the Honeycomb browser. It's just too bad the rest of the browser was slow and didn't handle Flash well.

I even wiped online and started over, but I still get bad meta data that just doesn't exist local. Currently 100% off my stuff is online, and I moved a single album local using the Google music app, and showing only offline stuff gives me a much bigger list then just the one, not to mention I can't find out anywhere in local or internal storage. Moving stuff to a music folder results in duplicate entries

It's getting to be not worth it but I'm really wanting to like the streaming aspect

Every song you play gets cached on your device whether you want it to or not. Music is stored, with a stupid naming scheme, in sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music.

Interestingly, I just checked that folder on mine and it has a nomedia file in it.

Swype deletes words at a time if you hold the backspace key. It'd be nicer if you could swipe from right to left to delete words to be honest, but what can you do.

How would this be distinguishable from Swyping right to left to spell a word (like "la")?

Yeah I'm not looking to lock things down all crazy, the number of people I'm around who could figure out how to search for hidden files is pretty small. I don't care if some complete stranger thief sees stuff, it's more for a family member or some nosy jerk at work.

There's a default app called Gallery that just shows everything on my phone, pics and music and video all together, with thumbnails. Not good.

You could remove the extension of the pictures, then if you click on them in ES File Explorer, it'll ask you if you want to open it as an image/video/audio/document. Downside is you have to open them individually rather than flipping through them, but if you give them obscure system-type names, nobody is going to look at them.

If you have the ROM file you installed (unless you're rooted stock, in which case you'd have to download a ROM), you can pull the Gmail apk out of it with 7zip.

EDIT: OK I got another apk installed but it's still not right. The problem is I installed a skinned gmail.apk, a black version. Even though I installed a new .apk, cleared cache and settings, it's still showing the skinned version. How to I get it back to stock?

Check to see if there's a Gmail.apk in /Data/App in addition to /System/App.

Wasn't Soundhound part of the 10-cent sale?

edit: I keep it around for Docs To Go and Splashtop. Maybe those will go on sale in the Play soon.

Google play 3.5.15 is rolling out. It adds "Installed" and "All" tabs to My apps, the ability to sort reviews by Helpful/Newest as well as the ability to filter out reviews for other devices/older versions. It also fixes some issues with updates/installation.

Direct APK download for the impatient: http://lts.cr/Be2R

Finally. The one thing I always liked about the iOS App Store over the Market was that the App Store showed reviews for the current version, so you didn't have to read through a bunch of reviews about bugs that were fixed months ago.

edit: not seeing how to mess with reviews shown

Edit2: never mind, have to click on "see all" first.

When the cost of entry for the majority of apps is $1-$2 bucks then yes $4 would be considered pricey. Did I have a problem paying it? No. Good apps are worth money and especially a launcher. There is literally no other app on your phone you interact with more than it.
