    I got a guy with a business account to unlock a vf smart prime for me using the online form. Took about a month but he got the code without issue.

    Anyone know of an app that allows you to create a shortcut from a widget to open an app.

    Since I got my opx I haven't found timely to be very reliable but I still like using their clock widget. I'd like to be able to tap the time and have it open my native clock instead of the timely app, is this possible?

    Or maybe I should get a new clock for my desktop that looks ad good as it works.

    I just installed this for a change after a quick Google for a nice clock, it also opened the default clock app if enabled

    Used to use that myself but u found it drained my battery very quickly.

    I created the same thing using UCCW if you feel like spending / wasting some time on it

    I'll keep an eye on battery drain over the get few days and get rid if it is worse.

    What is uccw?

    Like timely myself but the alarm was not going if when I change phones, I'm just using the widget now, no point having having it if the alarm isn't reliable

    Does anyone know if I'd somehow be able to transfer old Google Maps that worked excellently and was perfectly fine and usable offline from old Phone onto new Phone?? I just don't know why people can't leave things the eff alone when there was nothing wrong with it and it worked fine as it was. There was nothing majorly wrong with the turns on old Google Maps, and if people really wanted updated live traffic news turn on the goddamn radio. Or else make some sort of an App for live traffic news, don't go fcuking around with a brilliant GPS and turning it into something that now needs a bloody Internet Connection. What a screw-up.....

    Google maps is only available offline in the last few weeks, the old version needs an Internet connection!

    It's ages since I used it so hopefully it's fixed now.

    Uccw is an app that let's you create your own widgets. Takes a little bit of time to get to grips with it but you can create some really nice widgets. I created a boards bookmark widget as I couldn't get a decent one.

    If you have a chromecast, wifi network, PC and android devices.

    Install Videosteam on the PC (Chrome addon ) and on the android device ( app). Share your tv/move download folder on your pc. Marry the PC and phone via the app.


    Open phone click on tv/movie send to chromecast.

    You can also send tv/move from the pc but for ultimate lazyness use the phone :)

    VERY temperamental of late for me, had it down to 360 on quality on a standard quality video and kept buffering.

    They seemed to have changed a lot in how runs now compared to before, also you might need to run their port opener or do it yourself.

    We have it on New Chromecast and old chromecast with UPC router, works flawlessly for HD content.

    Have tried streaming both at the same time and its was fine.

    Devices are Nexus Phone and tablet and oneplusx, PC is very high spec.

    Yeh we have old chromecast and UPC router, chromecast works great when you put it on 480p.

    As far as I know you can drag a video into chrome on pc, play it and then cast the tab to chromecast

    I meant a video file off you pc, not going into a grey area on this forum, one ban was enough ;)
