Splizwarf posted:Yeah, and the selection through the "Get More Skins!" link was terrible (which seemed to be a common complaint). Is there someplace outside the app(s) I should be looking? If you're looking for toggle widgets, use Widgetsoid. By far the best for a simple classy looking toggle, you can even match ICS's theme. Considering the clock in BW is a digital clock I wouldn't hold out for analog skins. You know you can use the weather separately and just use the Android built in analog widget.

Return that phone and get something else would be my first suggestion. For messaging apps, did you try chomp?

beedeebee posted:Yeah, you're probably right. But let's worry about those potential headaches when the they occur. The thing is, we've been dealing with people having huge issues with Samsung phones, especially the older generation of them like the W which is like a one-off weird variant of the original S, for I think over 2 years at this point. But hey, you're the one who has to deal with it. If you can live with a phone that's already outdated and probably won't ever see another update or security patch or bug fix outside the third-party community, which is even smaller for the W, then good luck.

az jan jananam posted:What phone do you have? Older phones have a limited app data partition and so it fills up quickly after you install a lot of apps. The HTC Incredible has an ext4 mod that increases the partition size and its easy to flash, I don't know about what phone you're using. Well it shows his data partition as around 2gb and having plenty of free space in his picture.

Vincent Valentine posted:Nothing additional, I'm just accustom to the basic line-style of my old Droid so I was looking for something stripped down if possible. The left-right orientation of sender and receiver really bugs me for some reason. I'd try to get used to it if you can, because it's by far the nicest looking and most simple text app I've used. Pretty much all the alternatives are ugly and have a thousand options.

IT Guy posted:I didn't use Titanium but I used nandroid backup. However, my first attempt to restore it messed up the ROM install. Therefore I opted for the manual route. I still have like 34 more apps to install. I just keep doing it whenever I'm bored. That's because NANDROID is a complete backup and you should only use it before things like switching ROMs or upgrading your ROM version as a backup in case something fucks up. There's no reason not to use Titanium Backup, mine's setup to automatically backup all my user apps+data at 4am while I'm asleep so I always have a current version of my poo poo.

IT Guy posted:Makes sense, I guess I should have used Titanium. Restoring an entire /data/ partition from a NANDROID would be like not wiping before moving to a new ROM, you'll get all that old app data from system apps that's very likely to gently caress something up.

Trisk posted:This is probably a dumb request, but is there an app that can automatically sync files from your desktop to your phone? In my case I want to sync some work documents so I have them on the go. Just setup dropbox, the official app won't sync them onto your phone but you can download the latest version from your desktop, and then upload it back when you're done. There are third-party dropbox supporting apps that will sync both ways but I don't use one so someone else will have to recommend one if that's not easy enough for ya.

Its always accessible and I spend so much time looking at it when I'm turning on and off wifi/3G/GPS/looking at notifications that I'd like it to be more useful. Widgetsoid can live up there and toggle poo poo. Beyond that you have to use a custom ROM.

Mister Snips posted:Are there any third party messaging apps that are simple and work well and also let you customize them a bit? I tried a few messaging apps and they were all poo poo and so my hopes of using anything but the stock one are diminishing fast, and the stock one is ugly with my lack of contact pictures and mostly black 'theming' I've never seen a third party app on the market that wasn't uglier than the stock one even with tweaking and custom skins. Have you tried the ICS messaging app? It's on the market and looks virtually identical to the stock ICS one, which is really nice looking.

Plus GO lets you rearrange apps in a folder, which I couldn't seem to figure out how to do on Nova. You do it by...dragging them around.

For anyone using twitter still or looking for a good app, Boid was recently posted on XDA as an ICS themed twitter app that looks pretty great. Don't use twitter so I haven't checked it out myself, but it looks nice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529622 Not sure if it requires ICS or not, the market link doesn't specify but I think it does.
