Must Have Android Apps and Games?

The good ones like AdAway and Adfree require root I believe. Kicking myself that I didn't root when I first got my phone. Couldn't face doing it now and losing everything.

Adblock doesn't require root but only works with wifi and even then I had problems on my Nexus 7.

OT lol I just found this.

I personally think it looks awful, doesn't follow any of the Android design guidelines. If you're after train times be sure to check out the companion app for next bus dublin I made :-) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextTrain

Just reading this now, I've been using both of your apps for bus and train for ages now and I think they are really well designed.

Hey, any recommendations on a good SMS app for S2? The main feature I am looking for is the ability to specify a different tone for delivery reports, finding it annoying that I cannot change this on the default app.

They aren't my cup of tea either really. A lot of them just remind me of those old 3d Tomy games I used to play.

Thanks Cap! I've read only good things about it. Pity the latest version ain't compatible with my Nook.

What is difference between moon+ and aldiko? Been using aldiko for past 3 years, and it's as solid as they come really..

According to LifeHacker's Nook tutorial Moon has a bit more features to justify the higher cost of its pro version. Now just what those features are I'm afraid I don't know!

Dunno if ye knew but since last week Google Play Books now allows you to upload your own PDF and EPUB files ;-) I used to use Moon reader, Aldiko and Montano but have just uninstalled them all as I personally love the Google solution! It was a pain before you could not import your own books but that is sorted now.

Cheers,

I think deVore spearheaded it with some other boardsies working on it too.

You don't lose anything when you root a phone.

On some phones do you not need to first unlock the bootloader before rooting, which wipes your phone?

Have a Sony live with walkman rooted but bootloader still locked. Affects installation of various roms but can still use titanium, adfree and the like with no issue

Yeah bootloaders really not a big issue, I never bother anyway.

The Galaxy Nexus I have requires the bootloader to be unlocked before it can be rooted. Needless to say it wipes everything. I still did it last weekend though. The NRT allowed me to backup all my apps beforehand.

I've had 3 different rooted phones over the last 3 years and never had an issue with IMDB

And I've never had an issue with the UB app, running CM10.1 and rooted.
