Re: Nexus 4 Best Apps [19Feb]

Bluetooth file transfer(works well on 4.2.1 as well as 4.2.2)
Fx file browser with root plugin.
Multiling Keyboard-donation ware- esp for asian languages.

Re: Nexus 4 Best Apps [19Feb]

wow. just found this app on the list

Lock Screen Notifications Widget - Display, read and access all your notifications straight from your lockscreen. Also configurable to light up everytime you receive a notification.

these are the two popular request iPhone converts ask now, notification on lock screen and light up. seems like a useful app for iPhone converts

Battery Widget Reborn provides great battery monitoring, quick access to wifi control, network sync, bluetooth, refresh, night mode and silent mode. Helps manually manage battery stats. Have been running this since I got my nexus 4. Now also trying Snapdragon Battery Guru.

Re: Nexus 4 Best Apps [19Feb]

It's fairly reliable (sometimes the charting stalls and doesn't chart the current situation, and its calculation of charge/discharge rate is ambiguous) and the information it presents is spread all around the place. But it's very helpful and certainly looks good.

Do you know of anything as good which also records data/charting history through a restart?

Re: Nexus 4 Best Apps

Added Battery Widget Reborn Beta and Lux Lite

Removed SwiftKey Flow Beta as the beta has now ended and features are now available in Swiftkey 4

Perhaps I'm not fully understanding your/their request, but Lightflow will give you your sound/vibrate/LED notification and you have always been able to swipe down the notification bar on the lockscreen.

Paypass locator (to find gWallet terminals)
Gas Buddy (find the closest and/or cheapest gas stations)

Beer Free (awesome if you're into your beer)
Free (flashable zip)
DSP manager (blows all EQs out of the water and works at the system level...aka any sound coming out of your device is modified)

in iphone when a notification comes
1. you can see the message without unlocking the device
2. the whole screen wakes up not just the LED light

that's what this app will do

Ok, got ya. Well Lightflow will do that too and has been around forever. No matter, just saying. I keep those options unchecked as I see it as a minor battery drain without any payoff. I know exactly what type of notification it is by the LED/sound/vibration. IIRC you still have to turn on the screen via power on an iPhone? I don't have to unlock my phone to see any of my notifications. Just power and swipe down the notification bar on the lockscreen. Know what I mean? You could set lightflow to literally turn on the screen for notifications.

Thanks Ill have a look at them apps tomorrow..

Lockscreen Notifications displays all your notifications as a lockscreen widget so you dont have to swipe down the status bar. LightFlow flashes different LED colours depending on the notification. Essentially both apps allow you to recognise which notifications are worth attending to and which arent, albeit in a different way. Lockscreen Notifications and LightFlow both allow for the screen to turn on when a notification is received. Personally I would go for the dashclock widget with Lightflow and a custom ROM to make sure the dashclock widget is always expanded on the lockscreen.

Thanks I removed it from the list.. Pondering on whether to add SwiftKey 4 though.. It is the number 1 paid app

Could you tell me how chrome to phone is different from syncing chrome on your phone and desktop and can you tell me the difference between droidmote client and droidmote server

Could you also please link me to paypass, gas buddy, free? and netq please. Cant seem to find them. I guess DSP manager is PlayerPro DSP pack now?

Thanks

I would ignore Chrome to Phone. its for Android version 2.x-3.x since chrome is not available for android below 4.0
does pretty much the same.
