I've just put a little app out on Google Play (and soon Amazon). Surprisingly, it got into the Top 7 New Paid Apps in the Live Wallpaper category - theres a free version as well too. If anyone wants to check it out - its called Endless Universe. Hope some ya'll think its cool. Ok, time for me to get back to work. Thanks!

Is there YouTube Me kind of app? It would make browsing Gaf better on Android, as now the YouTube links show as black boxes for me.

I love apps that give you that feeling.

The top "I am living in Star Trek" app for me is the s voice that comes with the s3. When I say "set alarm for 6am" with my Scottish accent it actually sets the alarm! Previous voice recognition apps would be giving me directions to Poland or something if I said that to them.

The whole point of Tasker is set automatic routine and forget it. Set it and forget it.

Only in an Android thread I hear people complain about the aesthetic of a programming environment. Do you also have problem with the aesthetic of your circuit breaker panel?

Heh :D

Yeah, I'd like that. I'd also like if freaking Google Now/Voice commands would finally freaking work at all in Germany. I'm actually thinking about setting my phone to english completely but I'm almost sure problems will show up with that, for example typing and stuff.

Dammit, Google. Just hurry up already.

Just do it. You can change typing language on the fly on most keyboards including Google's own.

I'm looking for a new RSS/news reader because, while I love Feedly, it's built-in browser is too unstable. I've tried Pulse but it has more in common with Currents (can you add RSS feeds to either of those apps?). Now I'm conflicted because there are things I like about both Pulse and Currents - I like Pulse's Pocket-like articles and I like the vertical scrolling in Currents. Is there a magical app that combines the best of Pulse/Current and supports RSS feeds?

Damn man for real? That looks a million times more pleasing to the eye than it does currently. Its not going to be the pinnacle of design, but the Holo cues and clear readability will do wonders for the approachability of the app.

Whether such an app should bother with not 'scaring off the casual phone user' or not is another discussion altogether. But that app looks good so far, especially as a work in progress.

Who needs to go into their circuit breaker panel? No one. What's the point of an app if its UI is so bad people don't know how to accomplish things on it without a guide? That is shit design. It's not always about looks. And even then, looks matter. Who wants to drive around an ugly, yet awesome performing car?

It looks better, yes, but it still looks like shit. It's good progress but the guy already had Google fix his app for him.

Are you looking in the content guide (the magnifying glass icon)? The categories you already have won't change; you have to add new ones after changing the region.

Flipboard.


But Feedly is better.
Click to expand...

What I don't like about flipboard is that it has a lot of "default feeds" that don't 'flip'. Too many feeds just get me to the browser version of the news. I also don't like the social integration. Facebook messes up cover stories without any chance of removal and I get feeds from people I unsuscribed on FB already.

It's nice for flipping through stories but as soon as I open the stories the magic is mostly gone.

Hey guys, I got a Google Play gift card for Christmas, and I'm looking for apps that might help a prospective teacher.

Books would also be good (especially Social Studies), but I'm not looking to spend $100 on some pdf file.

Guys, Zplayer is on sale. If your looking for a good free music widget/app though, may I suggest Rocket Player? I fucking love the sleep timer feature.

I was tired of not waking at my alarms due to falling asleep to loud music. I know it kills music during alarms, but I feel like if my ears were just passively hearing loud music that they will also not respond to my alarm.

God damn. Google currents interface design is horrible. No consistency whatsoever. Back button on top of the screen moves you back to the previous screen, yet it dissapears when you are reading the article then it forces you to use the hardware back button. Hardware button sometimes gets you to the previous page and sometimes kicks you out of the app. Wtf is this shit?
And why can't I arrange my feeds? If I believe that some sports blog that I read should go into the sports section, let me do it. Don't force me to lump it in the feeds category.

Since we're talking about reader apps, anyone mind replying to my previou post about Currents vs. Pulse? I have discovered I can add RSS feeds to Pulse so I'm now leaning towards Pulse. However, there are two problems with using Pulse exclusively. First, I can't set all of the stories in a feed as read (as I can in Google Reader). Second, plenty of feeds and offical Pulse feeds only show snippets of the story and require going to the website to read the whole thing. Obviously this is a problem with Google Reader as well but you would think the Pulse devs would apply some QA to the feeds they choose from. Any help in that area?

Tape Machine is awesome.

I've recorded lectures in both small rooms and huge auditoriums, can hear the professor perfectly.




Can someone help me out? There's something I don't understand.

I use Splashtop streamer to connect to my PC from school, which is great. It just connects to my Google account. No data plan, just right over the internet.


I use ES File Explorer to access my files from my home network, which is great. However, I need to be on my wifi network while I'm at school?


Is there an app that would allow me to log into google the same way I just serve my files up that way from my home computer?

Really need those on-screen buttons way smaller. Anyone know of a good cheap Bluetooth controller that won't need root?
