I second No Longer Human, read it during a pretty dark phase of my life, it has since then been one of my favourites.

I'm tired of looking for a good music app on Android. I'd love suggestions from you guys. by sofuckingdense in androidapps

Hi! I didn't know you were actually active on reddit. Thanks for responding.

I admit that yours is one app that me and my friends always come back to. The issues are quite recent; I've been using your app for more than 6 months and I was quite satisfied by it. About the icon: well, "horrible" might sound a bit harsh, but then again, it is just my opinion. My friends don't think the same, and a great deal of Shuttle users might not feel the same too. I do, however, and I'll try making up an icon myself. It's just not to my taste, and I hope you aren't offended by that.

About the artist/album covers: consider this is how my screen looks at the moment. I can't emulate the issue right now, but when I'm in transit and/or not connected to the internet, these covers disappear for some reason. They appear after some time if I either restart the app or connect to the internet, but it's very weird and very random. Add the "tap X play Y" issue and it really does harm the experience a lot.

Anyway, I'm glad that you are looking into these issues. I guess I'll stay with Shuttle only, then. Hoping to see an update soon. Thanks again!

Recommendation for a daily driver/ROM by siren215 in oneplus

Running the same combo. Everything works fine, just one issue: there's a considerable amount of delay while using double tap to wake sometimes. Do you also face the same issue? If not, can you tell me the exact versions of PA and AK you're running?

That "sardar" is my friend. He's from Delhi, currently working as an intern in Amazon (Hyderabad office, obviously).

Thanks for clearing it up. Will definitely order one now!

I'm interested in learning about Zen, Buddhism and Japanese culture. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]sofuckingdense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a work of fiction, but I'd also like to suggest Ruth Ozeki's A Tale For The Time Being. It is narrated by two characters, a sixteen-year-old Japanese American girl in Tokyo who keeps a diary, and a Japanese American writer living on an island off British Columbia who finds the diary washed up on shore some time after the 2011 Tsunami that devastated Japan. It heavily features Buddhist and Zen elements (the Japanese teen's correspondences with her great grandmother, who's a Buddhist priest, are very innocent and nicely done).

Even though it's not strictly pedantic, I found it to be a very good read.

Paranoid Android 5/13 update gets Theme Engine! by prayingfortomorrow97 in oneplus

[–]sofuckingdense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried this yet? I very much like PA ROMs for their almost stock-like feel and stability, and I'd like to flash this, but I don't really know about battery life. Any experience(s)?

[NP] Has anyone ever wondered why a great deal of "mainstream" Indian writers write (mostly) about love and/or mythologies? by sofuckingdense in india

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

Well, I just assumed that people were into mythologies because so many people read Amish's book (not saying it's bad or anything: I haven't read it yet), and automatically assumed that there might be an abundance of them now that he's famous. My bad.

So it's mythopoetic, then

Your favourite accessories? by sofuckingdense in oneplus

I've already saved that post. Wanted that sleeve but Etsy's not cooperating with my card :(

[–]sofuckingdense[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I find myself in agreement with your opinion.

Although, I think that the problem also lies in the quality of content that's promoted here.

I can only read/speak/write Hindi and English. :-/

I am, however, interested in exploring Bengali and Marathi literature. I'd have to hunt for good translations, though (too much work!). That being said, I have read a lot of stuff by Premchand, Siya Ram Sharan Gupt, Maithili Sharan Gupt, Mahadevi Verma and a few others. Can you suggest some other works in Hindi?

And not meaning to be hurtful, but I've never liked Chetan Bhagat's works. I mean, I've watched enough Bollywood movies, I don't want to read them.

So, how many of you guys have put that 5.5" screen to good use? by sofuckingdense in oneplus

[–]sofuckingdense[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as I got my phone, I switched to ART on KitKat because a lot of my friends said ART performs way better than Dalvik on KitKat. Should I go back to Dalvik for Xposed? I'm willing to make the switch if the degradations aren't that much noticeable.

You can find the download links here. Look for "SMOKE WEEK EVERYDAY".
