spincube posted:I'd imagine this would be a perfect use for either OneNote or Evernote. Bonus being you can futz around with the recipes using the PC client as well. That's what I use (Evernote), but I keep my stuff very minimalist and I don't store a lot of recipes. There's nothing like adjusting servings or making shopping lists, which I'd imagine other programs could provide.

LastInLine posted:One thing I don't think I could give up about Nova is swipe actions for the dock. In Apex, I just got rid of the dock altogether. Never really found the need to have the same shortcuts on multiple screens, especially since I only have two of them Apex hasn't been updated in months, however. Since we'll before Marshmallow came out. That has me worried... Thermopyle posted:I switched from Authy to that Authenticator Plus mentioned in the OP. It was a Good Decision. I don't use Authenticator much (can't decide between it and using SMS), but setting it up on a new phone is a huge PITA. I'm also worried about losing my phone. Can you just import the db to a new device no problems if you lose your current phone?

In Google Calendar, if you hide a specific calendar, does it not give you alerts for that calendar? I have a daily "appointment" created that I want to be alerted to, but I don't want to see a big block of time marked off for every day of the week.

It does sort by size, just not right away. It'll first give you a list of all the apps, then (slowly) populate the sizes, then, after a few while, sort by size. If it still doesn't, hit the hamburger menu and select "sort by size".

Oh, cool. I'm using Apex because the one thing I want that Nova charges for (hiding apps in the app drawer) is free on Apex, but I've been concerned by the lack of updates the last five months. Is there a way to import Apex settings into Nova? Not that I heavily customize, but it'd save some work.

Yay, not "OK Google" works again and the home screen search bar is the newest Marshmallow design! One question: is there a way to hide the folder labels when you open a folder of apps on the home screen? I have labels turned off everywhere else and it's annoying me to see labels there. Ironically, I can hide the labels of the apps in the folder, not the folder itself.

I have the circles turned off, but when I long press, sometimes it will highlight the email and show the archive/delete/unread icons, but when I let go, it will open the email. It's like the graphics have the time to change, but I'm not holding it down long enough for program to actually register it as a long press.

FredMSloniker posted:Anyone have a suggestion for a good 'doodle on tablets' app? Ease of use and of sharing are key. I have Autodesk SketchBook - draw and paint and SketchBook Express installed. They both seem decent sketching programs with similar tool and options. I can't really tell you why Autodesk maintains two apps that do the same thing, just with slightly different layouts. I'm not really an artist, but they seem like quality apps.

Has anyone used AutoMate? It's a program that turns your phone into an Android Auto clone. Seems cool, but I don't use my phone much while driving, so I haven't had a chance to play with it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitspice.automate It does maps (swipe from the left for nearby places like gas stations), phone calls, controls your audio, and gives you Google notification style info related to driving (weather, speed, etc). One thing I've noticed is that the quick dialer doesn't support multiple phone numbers, just the first. So, I can call home, but not my mom's cell phone.

Montalvo posted:I've been using Apex Launcher Pro for ages. Is it worth me switching to something else? I mostly just like having the option to apply different icon themes, I don't use many other functions. I switched from Apex to Nova almost completely because Apex hasn't had any updates in months. I also had issues with OK Google detection not working on the homepage. Nova seems easier to modify, but Apex has a few visual flairs that I miss. Three Olives posted:I'm I the only one that vastly prefers the Google Now launcher over Nova and Launcher Pro? It felt like both offered way, way too much customization options that I would have to endlessly dick with to get it to my liking where Google Now is basically featureless but clean and easy to use. I don't really use Google Now, so swiping left to get to it was just annoying. I also dislike how little "density" it has in how many icons you can get on the screen. I like using the alternate launchers solely to add another row of icons. Uthor fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Jan 22, 2016 |

E.T. NO HOMO posted:Sure, its the same apps I have in folders on my home screen but I've launched apps from it enough times to say I guess I kinda get it. Oh, yeah, the other thing I like about custom launchers is hiding apps in the app drawer. I hide everything that's on my home screen and apps I don't use (system apps, apps for things that run in the background that you don't interact with). Makes the app drawer more like a scrolling folder to catch all the infrequently used apps without having to scroll through everything.

myron cope posted:I use the desktop app all the time and it's goddamn excellent. Like really, really good. I use the app at work and like it, especially the ability to link to PDFs on the local network (lets me make an index to frequently accessed references instead of having to remember what 11FMAX1 actually is). The one thing I don't like is if you make sub-sub-pages, you can't collapse them down to the sub-page. I use Evernote at home and on my phone for various things, though it's probably overkill, to be honest. Mainly use it to archive user manuals and recipes. I also like OneDrive, though their raising of prices may make me reconsider that position. I hear good things about Outlook for people that don't use Gmail. Bing is okay and gives me ~$5 in rewards, so Microsoft is literally paying me to use it.

I find that keeping tasks in a list is useless for me. It's just too easy to ignore the list altogether! I generally use calendar reminders that give me a notification to remind me that I need to do something. (Which is why I dislike the change to Google Calendar to where the notifications now go away automatically if you don't act on them within an hour or so.)

I'm not worried that Microsoft will kill SwiftKey, though maybe incorporate the technology in a new Microsoft branded app. My only real concern for the app is that functionality/customization options will get stripped out. I hope they use the technology to build in some system wide autocorrect into Windows. I've often wished that I had SwiftKey when typing on my PC since I'm so used to it on my phone.
