No. You'll have to reinstate your account to use messenger. You don't need to use your account publicly either.

I don't know if it has been mentioned but Quiz Up is now available on Android. Fantastic game. Had to switch back to Dalvik for it to work as it isn't compatable with ART.

its brilliant the best game app of all, but scarely addictive spent the best part of 4 hours on it constantly one afternoon till the batteries drained:o

the fact that you can challenge someone on the other side of the planet is amazing

No that's not good that's not good at all. Turned my phone off flight mode today. 11 notifications from Quiz Up telling me someone had completed/created a challenge. That's a half hour right there. Then came the inevitable two hours more and battery death.:o

Has the Boards.ie app disappeared from the play store?
Deleted it couple of days ago, as wasn't opening with intention of re-installing, but not to be found.

There is no official boards app and it's the reason you see duplicate posts buy some posters in some threads, the boards team have asked not to use it. Use touch.boards.ie

Digital Solitude

Zooper has so really nice widgets for any who use them

Just bookmark touch boards and add it to the homescreen

Feck you all. Discovered the app via this thread a few days ago. I'm being badly diverted from my sleep and studies.

I see quiz up is only for android 4.0+ . Is there anyway to get this on older versions on android. Don't fancy updating just for this app

There are lots of reasons to upgrade to Android 4.x

Such as? Basically I have a desire HD with cm7 on it android 2.3 I think. I'm happy enough with the way it runs. What's the advantages of updating and how easy/difficult will it be. I take it I will lose most of my stuff too?

Running newer apps. Due to gingerbread being an older version and people upgrading some devs will drop support for anything under 4.xx

2.3 is over 3 years old, ancient. See how much has been added to Android since. Android is ever evolving.

You would have to wipe the phone, you'd lose all apps and info unless you back them up. Look for CM10 guides for the phone.

Far as I can tell there's no 4.xx custom rom for the desired hd. Had one myself and when I eventually got round to looking for one on XDA the one that was there had been removed as the Dev had stopped all support for it.

Trigger is something I finally got around to setting up. You can create profiles to do different things, e.g. I have a wifi trigger setup for the mornings when I leave home, it turns my phone onto vibrate, starts bluetooth and starts playing my music. Then when it picks up my work wifi, it stops music, turns off bluetooth and puts the phone on silent.
