CaptainRightful posted:Don't be put off by the anime in the screenshots, Twicca has a very clean interface and is my favorite Twitter client so far. It launches really quickly, loads tweets fast, updates often, and has nice bonus stuff like user-muting and color-coding without feeling like a cluttered mess like Plume. Best of all, it has a very robust in-app image viewer so you don't keep getting bumped out to a Web browser. It's really good and very light. Plume always was in the Top 5 of memory consumed, Twicca is like 10 or 12. Thanks to whoever recommended it.

So I have a bit of a strange question. Is there an app that can make my tablet's volume quieter?

Thermopyle posted:So, I don't know why I didn't try this before, but... I've got to mention just how much I like Skifta for this same purpose, but also: * Highly lightweight and doesn't feel like it's taking over your life * Has a remote streaming option (i.e. when away from home) - if you use their also very lightweight built in server (you can still use XBMC or anything else as your media player, this thing doesnt take over your life) * Not only can it play on the N7, it can also push videos from the tablet or any source it can connect to to any other DNLA device. * When points 2 and 3 (note: points are not numbered) are combined, this means you can be round a friends house who has just bought his new dogs-bollocks TV, connect up to your media library at your house and stream your content to their fancy pants DNLA capable TV.

Gyshall posted:I would love to know that as well. Group SMS is the only major missing feature from Android, I think. Both my Nexus One and Galaxy S3 allowed for multiple recipients on an outgoing text For incoming texts, the SMS setup does not have this by default, but if you can coax them onto say, Facebook Messenger, that might mitigate that. Otherwise, I can only help with outgoing texts...

Lowen SoDium posted:Coincidentally, I was also playing with Bubbleupnp last night. You can also use it to stream videos from your XBMC library to your phone or tablet. XBMC's library shows up as a UPNP/DLNA share. I know this is a few pages back, but doing that requires that you keep XBMC running. My HTPC doubles as my regular desktop, so that's not a real option for me. Plus no transcoding. Windows Media Player can also stream over a LAN, but transcodes to a hilariously low bitrate, at least to my Xbox and my networked bluray player. Serviio is a free* upnp/dlna server that handles transcoding, on a per-device basis. Bubbleupnp also has a server component for streaming over a mobile connection, but requires a UPNP server to piggyback on, from what I've been able to dig up. * there's a few pay features in it, but everything most people need it for is available in the free version. Heners_UK posted:I've got to mention just how much I like Skifta for this same purpose, but also: Just tried Skifta, the server only supports 1 photo, 1 video, 1 music folder. Kinda lovely if you have stuff spread out across multiple drives - even Windows Media Player can handle multiple folders when you're using its built-in UPnP server. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Aug 14, 2012 |

With SD Maid, if I buy the pro version and use the System Cleaner and App Cleaner, do I need to worry about it deleting stuff like songs I've pinned for offline use in Play Music or save game files? Or is it pretty smart about that stuff?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for free budget apps? I'm looking for something that's good for both daily recording (basically just listing down everything I spend on as it happens) and monthly planning.

I set my budget by just buying stuff for 6 months, setting my budget off of my actual spending habits at first - then modifying from there. It's FAR easier to do it that way than to arbitrarily plunk down a bunch of numbers from your "best guess".

It has everything I want and nothing I don't plus it's a really good RSS reader so I like it. I keep meaning to move my podcasts out of PocketCasts into GoodNews, because it seems like its pretty sweet and since I already use GoodNews for RSS reading, it will be one less app to clutter up my app drawer.

If you are looking for it to autofill forms and passwords, then realistically your only option is to use the Dolphin Browser+Plugin (which is actually quite nice and in my experience better than Chrome). The app has a built-in soft keyboard which you can use to autofill in anything, but it's buggy as all hell. The app also comes with it's own browser which is worthless. What the app does allow you to do is access and edit your LP Vault, copy usernames and passwords from your vault, generate secure passwords (which you can copy to clipboard). Keep in mind though that all of this stuff require a LP Premium sub.

I will admit thats a downside of the server in it's current state. Skifta team are well aware and working on it. For the moment, I just pointed that at my main video folder. Remember, at least for internal network stuff, you don't HAVE to use Skifta server. I initially used XBMC as the server and it worked just fine. I think if you have Skifta server and XMBC server running simultaneously, you can access both remotely (I will have to check this though)

They have several ways of filling in passwords, but what I do when I want to fill in a username/password: 1. Open up the LP app. 2. Type in my master password. 3. Search for the username/password. 4. Click on the site I'm wanting the username/pass for. LP adds two notifications to the notification bar...one for username and one for password. (This is how I have it configured) 5. Go back to the app that I want to login to. 6. Click the LP notification for the username which adds it to the clipboard. 7. Paste. 8. Repeat 6 and 7 for the password. Yeah, its a lot of steps, but I just suck it up because I like to have secure passwords.

Thanks for the recommendations. Mint isn't USA only is it? Couldn't find it in the market, and I'm in SEA Edit: yeah it's USA only. Droid wallet looks nice but I wish it had a daily log sort of thing, want to record everything down as it happens and I'm not sure it'll be very easy to do so in Droid wallet.

I've been using DoggCatcher for over a year now. It's very configurable and does a good job keeping all my podcasts updated in the background. I believe you can configure it to only update while on wifi as well. It's paid though.. and not the cheapest either. On that same note, does anyone know of a way to sync podcasts between devices? I normally listen to podcasts on my tablet when I'm at home, but it'd be nice if there was an easy way to have both my phone and tablet have the same content available.

LastInLine just mentioned woofi which reminded me to check with the alpha testers...any issues you'd like to report? For me, this version seems to be way more reliable than the current market version, so I'm going to merge the current alpha branch into the release branch and do a new Play store version.

A couple goons recommended aCar for my maintenance tracking of my car. However, i can't seem to find a way to change the intervals between maintenance needs. For example, it seems locked at every 3000 miles for an oil change. I'd like to change that to every 5000 miles. Is it possible for the free version? Thanks.
