Is there anything wrong with Amazon Underground? I seem to recall keeping some old version of Amazon's video app to do my Instant Video viewing but after a recent reset I've been adding back apps again. If not, is there an old apk from before Underground?

Manky posted:Podcast Addict is crazy great and it just keeps getting better. Help me fall in love with it. I'm mostly stuck trying to navigate tiny menus for simple things like going to my downloaded episodes page. Is there a way to streamline the menus or gesture to them directly? At this point in my life I just go between car mode player, playlist, downloaded episodes, and subscribed podcasts.

Manky posted:I'll try, but the best I can do is try to describe my workflow, I think. I stay on top of ~30 podcast subscriptions over a week, and PA has been the only thing that lets me manage that. To me, that's because I have it set up so I really only have to refer to the playlist and home screen widget. That's fantastic. It gave me a couple of ideas that I can try, especially if it's got a delay before deleting option. I stopped using automatic deletion because I would fall asleep or forget something was playing and then get frustrated having to redownload it later but that would be a great way to get back into automated stuff. Thanks!

Jmcrofts posted:Wanted to pop in to recommend MX Player. I was using VLC to watch video files, but the android app is really annoying sometimes (If you switch tasks for too long, it loses your place and restarts the video. It also pauses and forces you to hit play when you drag down the notifications, which is a pain in the rear end.) I've been quite a fan of MX Player and it works with nearly everything I throw at it. My complaints about it are minor and shared with every other player including VLC and owes to them being mobile apps and inherently limited. I really should pop for the pro version. It's been earned.

myron cope posted:I've been using Podcast Addict since it came up in the thread whenever that was. I like it ok, but I have a question if anyone would be able to answer: I was getting advice in using it and I decided to do this for my usage and it's been nice. When you're at the top level go three dots-> settings-> playlist Check "enable playlist", "automatic dequeue", and select "automatic playlist-> downloaded only". With those options the only management I needed to do was choosing what episodes I wanted to listen to. Downloading them puts them on the playlist and listening to them removed them. It really made it hands off to use it do must of the time I just use their widget and go to the playlist to hop around my downloaded episodes. They also have a menu of downloaded episodes as well. I also set up automatic cleanup by deleting episodes after listening and then set it to an arbitrary three days later to confirm the deletion in case I wanted to relisten. I also used some gestures via Nova Launcher and PA kind of hit every note I needed in a player.

So I guess it's hard to natively have a Calendar widget show up on the lockscreen with the Lollipop. And it seems the workaround is to use some app to embed information in the notification, which can show up on the lockscreen. What's the best approach for this?

Hoping to confirm I'm not crazy. I switched to Gboard from Swype because it had somehow become frustrating to use. Gboard has been okay except for this: When I use Google's search app, the correction stripe above Gboard doesn't appear at all. There even appears to be space for it. The correction stripe appears everywhere else, including right now typing into Awful. Can anyone try Gboard in the Google search app to verify? Up to date Gboard and Google via Play Store on ATT Galaxy S7 edge Android 6.0.1

Well I guess it's understandable. I mean, expecting something to work within their own closed ecosystem is a pipe dream. Thanks for verifying. Any keyboard suggestions that have solid swipe and ideally a good correction/suggestion bars? Is Swiftkey worth reinstalling?

drat, I was fleeing Swype because it was becoming very in accurate/unforgiving where it wasn't before. I had tried Swift but it's swipe at the time was not great enough to use for any extended period of time. I guess I'll try the Samsung keyboard which I've never really given the benefit of the doubt?

Mogomra posted:What do people use Tasker for these days? The last thing I was using it for was to open Play Music when my phone connected to my car's Bluetooth receiver, but Android Auto takes care of that now. I use it to turn off WiFi when I'm away from my home video tower because I hate AT&T auto connection to terrible McDs and Starbucks WiFi. I also turn up brightness for video apps in the daytime, prevent a Prius I sometimes ride in from auto playing audio, and raise or lower audio for any app that's just not behaving. Basically, if there's a repetitive issue and I can't fix it with options, I try Tasker. Sigh, back to Swype. It seems to be the only one that forgives fatfingering the letter of a word. All the rest really locked into do that first letter. I will miss gboards space bar cursor control though. That's really nice. Plus I think it used grammar to help figure out following words.
