Mr E

If you're looking for something a bit different for your wallpaper, Walli has some gorgeous custom artwork that you won't see anywhere else.

€2.29 to remove the ads and support the artists - they pay the artists from your upgrade fee, which I think is fantastic.

[XDA] ‘Eva’ curates interesting channels, bots, & stickers in Telegram
^^^ As Telegram was update and mentioned in the above links, does anyone know of any interesting Boards groups on it?

[XDA] Poco Launcher from the Poco F1 is now on the Play Store
^^^ Can't download at present limited beta, and maybe probably only works on MIUI roms? As with all Xiaomi apps needs allot of permissions.

I put the poco launcher on my Redmi note3 and it's very slick. Like how you can list apps by colours

Radio.net is quite good, €3.09 for the prime version,bit you could try the free version to see if you like it

thanks. i missed this when looking for online radio apps. first impressions, i like it.

i'd love to know which app is the most battery friendly...i understand that a constant stream uses battery a lot...but aside from that, i'd like to know which ones are better than others.

I don't have it, but I'm going to grab it now.
Reviews are excellent (4.8 from nearly 15k reviews) and it's supposed to be a good length.

You can try it for free and see if you like it (and to make sure all your favourite stations are on it).
You can pay about €3 to remove the ads.

I've been using it for about a fortnight and it works great.

Cheers, will try that.

I heard about one called Audials but it looks pretty complicated.

Just checked - can't find an option like that. It's a pretty bare-bones app (which is what I was looking for after giving up on TuneIn)

Cool, must take a look and check it out

Can you add custom URLs like TuneIn?
It's not hugely important, but I have a few on my TuneIn profile

Whats the best wallpaper app? Something that will change your wallpaper for you and let you select from archives? I tried a few but they're all a bit spammy. I use Wallpaper Engine from Steam on my gaming rig, its amazing, the live wallpapers you get especially the gaming ones make the desktop look so good.

I like 500 firepaper

13 new and notable Android apps from the last week including Xbox Game Pass, IMDbPro, and Insomnia (8/18/18 - 8/25/18)

^^^ Thought I would mention (But description in above thread is wrong): -

Tipatch • Backup internal storage

TWRP Data backups do not include Internal Storage, which is the emulated SD card that stores your photos, videos, downloads, and more. This means that in the event you transfer phones or completely wipe data, all of that is gone! Users must resort to error-prone manual backups instead.

Tipatch is here to help. Simply run it on a TWRP image file to produce a new one which backs up all internal storage, making backups complete.

If you are rooted, it's even better! Simply tap a button to patch your current recovery in-place in seconds.

[XDA] Tipatch patches TWRP to allow for full data backups

^^^ Use with caution, wiping of data will also totally wipe it.

Please, keep in mind that after using Tipatch, wiping the /data partition will also wipe your internal storage, which may have your TWRP backups in it. Also, restoring the backup may result in unfinished or older versions of the documents you were working on. Some apps and games even save their data on the internal storage, so they may also be incomplete.

Edit: - Forgot to mention this: -

[XDA] Rootless Pixel Launcher now on the Google Play Store with Pixel Bridge

[XDA] Nova is an open-source video player for phones, tablets, and Android TV

Just checked it out and from what I can see it needs a lot of work. No gestures for seeking or volume control, no way to control playback speed. It looks ok, but in its current state is almost unusable compared to other players.

Quote from reddit thread.

I know there is a temporarily free player in the previous post and didn't like the permission needed for it.

This maybe another alternative to MX Player (Now owned by Indian Company) or VLC.

[PLAY] Nova Video Player

Edit: - Local/On Device content only, I think! Would not play videos shared to it from a DLNA app.
