Cheers for this, just installed it and I love it. Very cool and fixes an annoying problem I have on my Darkyrom build where the battery icon inexplicably disappears

Is it possible to rip the 4.1 Play Music apk and sideload it to your phone? Also how would I go about copying the FlipWidgets apk off my phone? It installed fine on my Gnex.

So presumably GMusic/Play Music/Whatever We're Calling It Now would be useless to me because Google Music isn't available in the UK?

Use a proxy like Hotspot Shield and go to music.google.com to sign up. Then deactivate the proxy and upload your music. The app should be available on the market. You can't buy music though.

XIII posted:So, I'm planning on grabbing a Nexus 7 in a month or two and was wondering if I'll have to buy the tablet version of SwiftKey 3 or if the standard one will work? I can understand them making a tablet optimized version, but I'd rather not have to buy an app I've already paid for. So, still wondering. Or would this be a question better suited for the tablet thread?

Regarding Swiftkey 3 on a tablet, using the non tablet version will give an ugly and poorly dimensioned keyboard. Didn't even end up using it due to the fact it was so ugly, I ended up buying the tablet version.

The Good: HBO Go now has tablet support The Bad: It doesn't appear to work on the Xoom LTE. Reports are that it works fine on the Wifi version, but the LTE version gives "Unknown Error" when you launch it.

Splizwarf posted:Yep. And there aren't any good ones, nobody knows why. I thought it had something to do with Android not providing application-level access to the voice stream, so the only way to get the functionality is with custom ROMs. I believe it's included in Cyanogen for example. The apps which don't require this generally just record your side of the conversation via the mic, so are next to useless.

Holy crap, I sat here bemoaning the lack of Google Music in the UK for the last year or whatever and it turns out all I needed to do was log in from any of the various US-based servers I have access to at work? Will be trying this out tomorrow!

I've got Sprint's GV integration and if I press "4", it'll record both my side of the call and the caller's side. It'll also tell both parties that the call is now being recorded. After you hang up, it'll be put up on Google Voice (or e-mailed to you, I'm not sure which).

Does anyone know if there's some kind of timer app that displays the time left in the notification screen? I'd like to just let it run in the background, and then do a pull-down to see how much time is left.

When you load the app it gives you a huge page of timers set to something like 1 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 30 45 60 minutes which can be customised and it shows each individual one counting down on the app, and in the notification bar it shows the minutes left in the soonest ending timer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.adyno.atimer&hl=en

StopWatch & Timer Plus costs a few bucks, but it's the best timer app I've found so far, and strikes a nice balance between being feature-packed and not being eye-searingly ugly or gimmicky or pointlessly skeuomorphic. It puts an icon in the notification bar for each timer that will display hours remaining, minutes remaining, or a circular timer if there's less than 2 minutes left. It will do as many count up/down timers as you want, and even has convenient features like being able to use the hardware volume buttons for start/stop/lap.

I've been using the Ultrachron one (for brewing beer), and have been happy with it. If get off my rear end and do two batches at once, I should probably think about your StopWatch and Timer Plus one. I never thought about Ultrachron being ugly, since most of the time the screen is off and ticking away.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a very specific function but can't find an app that seems to do it, maybe I'm searching for the wrong things? Anyway, what I want is something that allows you to get the notification sound to be active, but when someone calls it only vibrates. It seems like those are totally connected though; there's no way to silence one without silencing the other. Ideally you'd have a toggle between these 4 options: totally silent vibrate only vibrate on phone call/sound on text message full sound Does something like this exist?

If you can't find anything, you could always do silent ringtone and select "vibrate and ring."

Can you record/find a sound file that contains nothing (recorded just quietness) and set that as your ringtone? It'll be a pain in the rear end when you want to switch your call off of vibrate, but it should work.

 Any good Audio-Manager-type app will let you de-couple the Notification and Ringer sound levels.

I'm pretty sure they take precedence over all other phone settings, and they have variables On Phone Call... and On Text...

The Google Maps Navigation app on my phone (Samsung Vibrant running ICS Passion) has been doing something kind of weird. It talks in two voice, intermittently switching. One is kind of robotic and sounds like the typical voice you'd hear on a phone line (like when you misdial). The other is more natural sounding and also sounds younger, which started happening after a recent update (1-2 weeks ago). I prefer the second one as it's easier to understand. Both will read both generic road directions (IE "Keep straight for x miles") and directions with street names that require text to speech, so I can't see any reason to switch between them. Why is it speaking in two voices? Is there a way to change this? It's a minor issue, but it's kinda  .

I want something that can pick up spanish and will translate as much as the user is willing to record.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Unfortunately it's not rooted...and yeah, manually switching the ringtone to a silent one is way too much work. This isn't actually my phone, and I've said if she wants it she'll probably have to let me root it, so it's in her hands now.Splizwarf posted:
