Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm not an Evernote user so take this as you will.
I told myself I'd download Keep and try it out for a week. I mean actually use it, and not just say I used it because I downloaded it. So far so good, but we shall see.
I don't need anything crazy at this point anyways.

Yo, are you on stock or is that the CM keyboard?
I'm liking keep but it could use a little more functionality. I'd like some automatic reminders as well. I just don't want to have to open the app to be reminded of something. I guess that means integration with tasks. I love the UI and everything though. It definitely has potential.
Oh man, why haven't I tried this one out before? This is like everything I've been looking for! Thanks man.

Until Keep introduces tags, its no use for me! I need some kind of structure like endnote has!

I use them both, Keep is good for a quick idea to note and Evernote is good for big notes.
I think MX Player is the best: I like it for it's non-intrusive interface, customizeability as well as fantastic Hardware Video-Decoding support (definitively enable it in the settings for lower battery usage and smoother video - just enable all H/W checkboxes). It's also pretty handy for mp4 video streaming from websites (MX handles them better than Chrome). And in conjunction with File Manager HD it's also great for home network streaming.
Yeah, it won't replace Evernote for me unless it gets much more feature rich: I need the option to create different notebooks.
There is no music app competent enough for playing podcasts.
Google Play is great, but I just started a subscription to Rdio and the app is very slick.

Well that's a bummer, hopefully there are some good stand alone ones.
Pocketcasts is a fantastic podcast app.
Get Pocket Casts - it's a fantastic podcatcher with cross-device syncing. Listening to podcasts in music programs is no way to live: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts
There is no shortage of fantastic podcast apps.
Pocketcasts, BeyondPod, Volkempsanger (or something like that), AntennaPod, DoggCatcher, all have vocal supporters. Some are free or have functional free versions.

Oh my goodness, this thing addresses the one problem I have with most browsers. No return to top/bottom buttons. Cheers for the link!
Is there any good lockscreen app that works well with a stock TouchWiz ROM?
Seems like a lot of those third-party lockscreens can easily be bypassed with the home button even with the home button mapped to the lockscreen because of power on.
Also, seems like a lot of them do not support password protection.

Does anyone recognize this widget? It has a tab for favorite contacts and one for incoming/outgoing calls.
Looks like one of the stock s3 widgets.
Thanks for this. I've mainly been using the stock CM 10.1 browser but Habit seems blazing fast.
I am currently having this issue: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=51558333&highlight=#post51558333
Is there a recommended app to know what process/apps are running and killing my battery? I am worried cause the phone is also hot all the time and I want to discard 'faulty battery' as the root of the problem.

Greenify should help you, though it requires root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MSwxLDEsImNvbS5vYXNpc2ZlbmcuZ3JlZW5pZnkiXQ..
It's not going into Deep Sleep...What version are you running? It should be pretty easy to spot the problem on ICS or JB...
Setting-Apps-Running
Whatever app is listed at the top is likely your culprit. You could also try downloading "Better Battery Stats"...It'll give you detailed power consumption info. Let us know how you fare!
I am running unrooted TouchWiz with Android 4.1.2, so no Greenify.
There is no free or trial version of BBS
The top spot of the "Running" tab is constantly changing (along with the RAM used, bottom of the screen), the rest of the listed apps (second position and downward) is constant/doesn't change. "Task manager" is listed as "Restarting".

What does it mean if an app is requesting permission for Google Billing Services? I got Bladeslinger from the Humble Bundle but it's asking for Device Access: Google Play billing service. I'm assuming it's related to in-app purchasing garbage but I don't necessarily want an app like that so readily able to access my credit card.

Free for XDA forum members. Post 2 always has the latest version(s) attached to it.
This is totally legit; I'm not saying they are necessarily the best or even a good community, but this isn't shady pirate shit.
It's about in-game purchases and the app won't have direct access to your financial data.

Just started using the Airdroid beta. Between that and Splashtop, my phone and pc are quickly becoming two parts of the same device. It's really made me feel like I'm living in the future having such interactivity cross-device. Even if I've left my phone in my jacket, I can keep up to date with all my usual stuff and make sure I've got enough battery for whatever reason. I can stream music through my phone speakers when I get out of bed or have a shower and then instantly change to my pc speakers on a whim. Same goes for if I get tired but want to finish watching an episode of something.
I've yet to try it but I figure I can use airdroid while using splashtop and upload files directly to the phone from a different city as long as wake-on-lan is on and then I can just send my computer back to sleep when I'm done... Does that sound about right? I've not enabled wake-on-lan yet and wont be able to test it until sunday.
The next few years are gonna be amazing for this stuff, or so I hope.

Ah okay, thanks.
I can't for the life of me get this working. Where is the option to make iTunes look for remotes? I'm running 10.7.

What was that root only app that prevented background for some apps? is it good?
Edit: Greenify, so how is it?

It works pretty much as you'd expect it to. I use it on both my N4 and N7 and it's been keeping apps in check ever since I started. Pretty good, I'd say.

Did you notice a good change in battery life?
Not significantly, but then again I never had much of an issue with renegade apps devouring my battery life. But I definitely think it can be helpful if you do, so try it out if you have the means.

no, but there are camera apps that let you use the volume buttons.

what are these apps you are talking about..and is it even possible to use the power button to shoot after rooting ?
The Faceless Master

Camera ICS is one, there are many... And i have no idea if you can use the power button to take pictures with root. I don't even know if that's possible without kernel mods. I know some roms and mods let you use the volume keys as a shutter in any camera app though...

So I've made an app for displaying random data, all of which is based on values input by the user minus colors and quotes. It's a wip but so far:
Integer Generator
Sequence Generator
Integer Set Generator
Raw Random Bytes - outputs in hexadecimal, decimal, binary
Decimals
List Randomizer
Passwords
Calendar Dates
Clock Times
Quotes
Colors
I will post a store link and screenshots shortly when Play is updated.
