I use Cerberus, was lucky to get it on an celebration where the devs were giving free signatures forever, but a lifetime license costs 4 dollars or so, it's totally worth it. And there're free options like Avast, Seekdroid Lite and Android Lost.
Extremely well. Pressure sensitivity works well too.
Correct.

What's the battery hit like?
barely any. I've been using it for a year now and I will not own an Android phone without it. Super powerful.
I've never noticed any battery drop. It uses the cached location history to check location, unless you're running in monitor mode (which you manually activate if it's stolen- this will probably drain battery). But in normal use, battery life is unchanged.
Yeah, cerberus is great. Peace of mind is great. If your device is rooted you can install it right in the rom. So AFAIK it can't be uninstalled even with a device format. It's listed as System Framework too so unless the person really knows what they are doing it's pretty much impossible for them to disable it minus never using the phone.

Cool, thanks. Installed it. I've avoided these apps for fear of battery drain but if it's negligible, bought!
I wondered why shortcuts were auto added to my home screen. I double checked the Play Store option. Unchecked. It's fucking Nova. Damn, why is that enabled by default?

Yeah I've never seen Cerebus in the battery stats at all.

a recent update turned that on for some reason. it had me puzzled for a bit too!
Thanks, I'll check these out. I'd totally be willing to pay $4 for the functionality anyways.
Excellent! buying this!

Oh, next month. Nice http://minuum.com/

I need some help guys.
On my S4, when I view an image in the Gallery I can't get the rest of the album images on the bottom to disappear.
On my gf's phone you just tap the picture you are looking at and it shows full screen. Thats not doing that on my phone. It did at one time.
Does anyone know what I could have done to break this?
... or as a backup plan is there any other Gallery app that I can download that is a good replacement for the stock gallery. Because this is really annoying.

I believe this is the Touchwiz Gallery. Whats the stock gallery called?
Those images on the bottom will not go away. Not after 5 seconds. Not after I tap the main photo.

Thats strange.

Another question:
Google Drive is getting on my goddamn nerves. I have an Excel spreadsheet I use for budgeting and update it frequently, and because I can't edit it on my phone and can't access the Google Drive site at work, I end up uploading it from and downloading it to my phone via email and back into Google Drive. I used to do that with Dropbox no problem, but Google Drive has this nasty habit of NOT overwriting the old file and instead creating a duplicate with the same fucking name. Is there any way to make it just overwrite the old file? After some googling it looks like this has been an issue for a while that Google has neglected to address.

Feedly > *
Feedly is amazing.

If you have any taste, it's Press. Feedly is for the heathens.
Press
This could have been easy!
What are the main differences between the two?
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The main difference is Feedly rules while Press just wishes it could be a fraction as good as Feedly.

I use both. I love visuals so Feedly is great, but Press looks like Reeder which I also love.
I recently stopped using Greader, which is another good option.

Press is the best. The feedly plebs are in the nile.

Does Press have some method of marking articles as read other than doing it one at a time? That's the biggest flaw of Reeder.
I like how on the desktop Google Reader will mark them as you scroll by. Feedly does it on a per page basis.

There's a mark all as read button but no scroll mark as read. There's also a mark above as read and mark below as read.

dat shit was cray. Typing on your skin... mind = kaboom
Swiftkey is so far the best for me, it can handle 2 at the same time.
Swiftkey can handle three languages at the same time. You don't even have to specify what language you're typing in.
Yep. If you need to change keyboard layouts you can swipe the space bar, but as long as you have the characters you need you just type away.
Vine for android is supposed to be out, but I'm getting a bad link. Anyone have luck with this?

It's supposed to be out "today", which is apparently why the links don't work yet.

Twitter probably posted the blog as soon as they published it to the Play store. It can actually take an hour or two for an app to show up after publishing. And of course all the tech blogs caught on to it as well. I now have 10 stories about Vine in my feed and the app isn't even live yet.
Still not working "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found" but the page is up now.
Same.
