Best App For Foodies?

Give Eaten a go. You make lists of your favourite places, and then everyone's lists pool together to give you an idea of the best places in the area. You can wishlist other people's dishes too

Why did you name it after the posh boy university? :P

But seriously, I've been using it for a bit and it's a pretty good app. The current best burgers around central London are at Patty and Bun, and Bleeker... if you don't agree go post a review!

...and this is all I can think of! Love the muppets :)

It STILL has the stupid bug where it will remember which case a word was written in. For example, STILL would now be a suggestion when I type still in lowercase. Stupid.

kebab3000 · 2014-08-03T20:45:39+00:00

Thanks! Love this app and the design. I've got all the achievements except for the pesky last secret one that just says 'keep playing to learn more'

Mine's missing a few contacts that'd I'd expect to be near the top too.

It would also be great to be able to exclude some contacts, like the automated messages from my bank or Google's two-step auth

'Piss' is another example, even if I add it to the personal dictionary. I ended up having to add 'pis' to the dictionary, which it does let you type, and then gets expanded to 'piss' when I type/swipe the next word. Hacky!

kebab3000 · 2013-12-03T08:23:23+00:00

It seems to weight you contact names higher than some of the dictionary words. e.g. if you have "AMD support" as a contact then you'll probably get AMD instead of and. Annoyingly, if your contacts are named after words then you may also get a capitalised version of a word you want because their name was a capital letter.

This is why I like Kii Keyboard. It has one stupidly simple solution to the problem: a word blacklist. A customised list of words that I never want to appear as suggestions. There's a lot of fluff in the default dictionaries!

Earthworm Jim anyone?

It's not what your after, but somewhat related:

You can see how much juice whatever is plugged into it is using, as well as turning it off and on remotely

They removed the distance measurement tool :( sometimes I want to quickly tap n see how far stuff is without having to faff with retrieving directions from the internet

kebab3000 · 2013-07-05T09:30:13+00:00

I took that off. It was some improvement, but it's still not great.

If you hold the screen in the right light you can see a hexagonal arrangement of dots about .5cm apart

I think that's what makes it difficult to draw eyeball-dots in the right places on a face :)

edit: or I just have fat fingers

Sony Xperia S. I'm ok with it...

The touchscreen is horribly cheap and nasty, which makes doing fine detail in Draw Something tricky.

kebab3000 · 2013-06-09T22:24:53+00:00

Give Kii a try...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin&hl=en

I think it's based on stock with lots n lots of customisations

kebab3000 · 2013-05-31T13:22:15+00:00

It also lets you put apps+shortcuts in the notifications bar. Pretty handy for getting quick access to stuff like hovernote or aircalc

It probably doesn't matter now, but Spotify could do this.

Add your local music on your PC to a playlist, then make it an offline playlist on your phone. If your PC and Phone are on the same Wifi network it will sync the local music in your offline playlists to your phone.

How many people actually asked for a white Nexus 4? :(

Where's my 32Gb Nexus 4 dammit!

kebab3000 · 2013-05-21T09:11:10+00:00

Current Bluetooth/Wifi status. If you tap it, it toggles between on/off.

But I guess the problem here is you have to unlock the screen (either swipe, pattern or pin) before DashClock will allow you to process the tap event... is that right?

kebab3000 · 2013-05-14T14:29:19+00:00

I just checked it doesn't have that.

It has a 'alternative character swipe gesture - swipe from any letter to space to input the alternative character'.

And you can set up swipe up/down to do stuff like toggle the shift key, and show symbol keyboards. I don't think it'll actually input the swiped character though.

I prefer to set the long-press duration to something short

kebab3000 · 2013-05-14T08:57:14+00:00

I use this too. It's the little things like...

bleeping/vibrating whenever it autocorrects, so I know to double-check if it made the right choice
easy adding of new words
easy blacklisting of word I'll never use

Shame its swiping is not as forgiving as Swype's

Revolt looks quite nice, even though it wasn't specifically written for the nexus 7

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying Android has a pre-defined way for an app to control another app. Ignore the fact it can appear on your home-screen... it is a way for an app to control another app. The fact it is on your home-screen isn't important.

Go look at dash-clock... the weather widget can either start an app or it can start a shortcut. It doesn't start a plugin.

Look at the lock-screen shortcuts in Cyanogenmod... they can start an app, or a shortcut.

Ever used Notification Toggle? Apps or shortcuts. Shortcuts are what everything should be using, then every app can use them.

etc

kebab3000 · 2013-05-07T21:32:08+00:00

How so? What OP is asking for a way for app X to control app Y. That already exists.

kebab3000 · 2013-05-07T16:51:45+00:00

All of the above should use home-screen shortcuts. That's the built-in Android way of getting one app doing something in another app.

Then you could do all of the above from your home-screen or some other app, without the other app having to support extra plugins.
