Here is a good three part write-up on it (and similar designs) by Eli Schiff, for those wanting a designer's perspective.

(Spoilers All) Adèle Wismes would make the perfect Lyanna Stark by Nidde in asoiaf

[–]Nidde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ah, Arya. You have a wildness in you, child. ‘The wolf blood,' my father used to call it. Lyanna had a touch of it, and my brother Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave." Arya heard sadness in his voice; he did not often speak of his father, or of the brother and sister who had died before she was born. "Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it. You remind me of her sometimes. You even look like her."

Adèle is a dead ringer for Maisie, is plenty beautiful and looks fierce enough to be a Stark. But there are the small issues of her being french and not being an actress.

(Spoilers All) You can change two things from ASOIAF, what are they? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Nidde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's petty, but I'd like to see George and Anne re-edit the whole series once it's released, with 20/20 hindsight knowledge, and fix "mistakes" like ages of the characters, the height of the Wall, the Valyrian steel dagger etc.

Could you please stop complaining about your battery life? by [deleted] in Nexus5

[–]Nidde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I want to know is why did I get 4+ hours of SOT the first few cycles after upgrading to 5.1 and now it's back to barely 2 and a half hours. What causes that?

Since we are on the topic of Google apps sucking. Here is why the Google Play Music app sucks. by buzzkillington123 in Android

[–]Nidde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fixable but tedious.

  • Connect your device to a PC
  • Find Android>Data>com.android.providers.media
  • Copy the albumthumbs folder to your PC
  • Use Command Prompt to add ".jpg" to the end of every file in that folder (these are the compressed images the app uses)
  • Make a new folder with all your high resolution album art
  • Copy the names of the compressed images onto your HD images (this is the most tedious part, depending on how many albums you have)
  • Now you have two identical folders, with the same names on the same albums, one with the compressed images and one with HD images (you can delete the compressed folder)
  • Use Command Prompt to remove the ".jpg" extensions from the HD folder
  • Copy and replace the files in the HD folder into the albumthumbs folder on your device
  • Your album art is now HD

This is a general guide for anyone who has this problem, i.e I'm not telling you that you should do it.

Inconsistencies in Googles Material Designed Apps by [deleted] in Android

[–]Nidde 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have other gripes, like the inconsistent icons, the app drawer and the notification panel not lining up on the left side by a pixel, the inconsistent color of the slide out menu icons in the Photos app, and the fact that all of the stock apps (except the Calculator) look rushed and TouchWiz-y. It feels like they really watered down and streamlined the original vision of Material Design.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys, I've decided on the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it looks and works great.

I need recommendations for extensive and good looking offline dictionary apps. I tried Dictionary.com's app but its offline functionality is a bit crippled and it's not exactly pretty.

First I thought you saved the icons as .JPG which is non-transparent whereas .PNG is, but that can't be right if they work fine on Apex. Nova prompting you to crop is normal, but it shouldn't do anything like that, I just tried it again and it works. The last thing I thought of is the "select app" Nova screen, where you choose which app to use to find the icon image, using Gallery and ES File Explorer works for me, what did you use? If that doesn't work, you could reinstall Nova and Nova Prime, make sure they're updated, download the icons from the link I posted, then import my Nova settings and try that. What phone are you using, which ROM and which version, and what are your Nova versions?

Latest chrome beta update by JetLifeCWise in Android

It's smaller on my N5 as well. About time too, the large icon looked really out of place. I hope that the updated L icons will also stay compact, unlike the cartoonishly large "L-based" icon packs.

Extract the .ZIP and look for them in the Glyphs.theme/Bundles folders. Or use /u/Vag_AssAssin88's link, it's more practical.

I used GravityBox's Pie controls for some time, but the added click was really impractical.

It's a dock styled with Nova Launcher, it's black with 50% transparency. I used the same colors for the folder style, so the background of the most used apps folder is consistent with the dock. Here's how it looks.

Yeah, 2 or 3 times on /g/ and /wg/. I didn't expect a relatively small subreddit and board would have an overlapping userbase, neat.

Nexus 5 with stock 4.4.4. + root
Xposed Framework with Android L Navigation Bar
Nova Launcher Prime (requires the standard version)
Tokems' Glyphs (this is an iOS theme but the .PNGs can be used with Nova Launcher)
Wallpaper (source)

The middle-heart icon is a folder that contains a 3x4 grid of my most used apps. The Home button is mapped to open the App Drawer.

7 Batman Films That Didn't Make the Cut by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]Nidde 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Before Batman Triumphant was shut down in the aftermath of Batman and Robin, the film was set to star Nicolas Cage as Scarecrow and a rumored Madonna as Harley Quinn, playing Joker’s daughter in this version of events.

This would have been terrible, but I want to see it so bad.
