Any good photo sharing apps that aren't named Instagram? I was about to download it when I noticed it asked for permission to look through my phone's contacts.

Nova Prime. Honestly, between NP and Apex, they're virtually identical but nova came bundled with the custom rom I was using, so I just used that.

No opinion on juice defender.

UberMusic is redundant now that there is Zplayer....

Can't use any other music app now that I have Zplayer, nicest looking one available.

I purchased it just to sample its features. But the app is good enough that I have decided to keep it.

I hope I don't make a second mistake on abandoned musc app.

Finding your friends on Instagram:

If you choose, you can use our "Find friends" feature to locate other people with Instagram accounts either through (i) your contacts list, (ii) third-party social media sites or (iii) through a search of names and usernames on Instagram.

If you choose to find your friends through (i) your device's contacts list, then Instagram will access your contacts list to determine whether or not someone associated with your contact is using Instagram.

Is there a Japanese Dictionary app for Android that is as comprehensive as this iOS one?

That's the major app keeping me on iOS at the moment.

hard to tell because I don't use my ipad for japanese but if it uses Jim Breen's dictionary + Tatoeba project example sentences, Aedict probably would be similar

There is also JED

To be honest, I mainly used droidwing and epwing dictionaries (electronic version of paper dictionaries)

That's really my main complaint with Chrome, it's too slow to browse through the bookmarks.


Do as I did: ubermusic -> Poweramp. Ubermusic was abandoned by its developer, poweramp has so many features you'll be wondering why you gave Um a chance.

Does poweramp integrate with Google Music? I stream 90% of my music from the GMusic.

Got zplayer but damn is it not possibly to access the app through the widget? That's lame. I just want to double/single tap the widget and get directly to the app like i can with ubermusic and power amp.
Nervermind, i have to tap the coverart to get to the app. My bad.

I wish Poweramp had a UI that could compare to Zplayer or UM, and at the same time I wish UM and Zplayer played ALAC files.

Should probably just convert them, so lazy tho

I used Juice Defender for a while, but no more. Honestly just using a custom ROM helped battery life far more, all Juice Defender seemed to do for me was kind of make the phone irritating to use. So even though I'm sure lots of people love it, I don't recommend it.

Yeah, but once I play the song, I spend 10secs seeing the player UI, and then all I use is the widget. There's an app called ICS Widget for PA, the 2x2 option is really beautiful.

Damn, I can't live without that. Has Google opened the GMusic online stuff to developers? I mean, can Apps support it?
Click to expand...

From Google, not yet, but there's an unnoficial API for Google Music, don't know if it's used in any app (I've tested Poweramp, Apollo, Ubermusic, Realplayer and some others, never found the option). Google should release an official api and let other developers take a shot.

I would try Falcon but I couldn't find an option to update all the time, not only after 5 minutes. That will keep me away from this app.

Main reason why I haven't bothered checking out music apps. I run all my music shit through GMusic unless it's Spotify Radio so it's just sort of not worth it as of yet to try anything else.

Dolphine Mini doesn't have bandwidth saving feature though. Only Opera Mini and a few Chinese browsers have (UC, Miren, Boat etc)

Just found a new favorite keyboard - Touchpal keyboard. Been using Swift keyboard for the last year, but this seems to work even better. There's also a swype feature but I don't use it so I don't know how it compares to the actual Swype keyboard.

New Twitter client - Falcon Pro

The beta is available to sideload and will be available from the Play Store once 'finished' for a few pence.

Initial impressions are great. And it has TABLET SUPPORT.

Thanks!! I'm a Plume fan but this looks great.

Yeah, me either. Everyone should transition to app.net.

It's one big widget. HD widgets has a bunch of different combinations of the clock, weather, and toggle widgets. That one is the Clock + Toggles. You can change which toggles show up as well.
