I wish there is. I've been waiting for this for so long...
theres a program out there called SportsNut, that can grab the scores, news, etc...from ESPN, FOX, and Yahoo........i have installed, its nice, could use some tweaking and better graphics but it does the job
try pocket express, awesome sports scores upto date, follow favorite team and all sports. news, and alot more. and sport is just one thing on the app it a mobile media app. try it out you'll like it better then sportsnut, which looks like ****
thanks alot, its alot better, to bad we cant get a coder/developer that can develop something from both programs to pull the scores/news into something for 6.5, like a sports ticker or similiar
SportsNut
I installed Sportsnut and I kind of like it (I personally didn't like pocket express). I installed a cab that I found in ppcgeecks but it is for vga, does anyone know were to find a wvga version of it?

I'm actually working on this now but I don't know how to do the custom panel/tab in wm 6.5to display the data. Any ideas?
maybe something like the stock ticker, or some panel that is broken down by nfl, nba, mlb, and espn top news stories.....where you would click on it and it would display the scores of that day....that could be a start ??
hey, just got a nexus 4, i need 3 particualr apps, anyone recommend some good ones?
1) a note taking program, i've been using the default ios notes on my ipod touch 4g and it's sweet. need something sweet and simple like it, not overly complicated.
2) need a voice memo program, again similar to the default ios voice memos.
3) need a music player that will let me skip or go to previous track by pressing and holding the volume buttons. on ios, i did this with activator and so i need something similar. i don't want to take out my phone on the subway everytime i want to skip or repeat a track
edit: 4) actually i have another question, is there any thing like spotlight search for android? on IOS, the OS indexes everything and so when you scroll all the way left, you just type in the name of the the thing you want to search and it'll show up in music, or movies or whatever. it's very useful. i know google's default search does this, but anything better?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

a lot of people like catch notes. but i use an app called freenote. its a normal note deal. but it also lets you use a stylus to write whatever you want. and then it shrinks it down and sticks it in a line. it works flawlessly. better on a n7 or n10 though.
as far as voice recorder, there are tons of them in the play store.
if you root and install aokp. you get the features you are wanting for music built into the rom.
Try power amp it supports headphone controls and is the best overall music player I've ever used it has a great ui and lock screen widget

for note taking i recommend colornote. Works well for me.
For voice memo either you can use default voice recorder or use evernote for above and this purpose.
For music there are plenty of apps available. Try them out.
I am sure you will find lots of stuff better compare to iOS.
I know you didnt ask for this but I recommend cerberus. Its like the find my iPhone App. Its great incase you loose it

because i came from IOS? and i love some of the features of it? when you love some features or some apps, you're always going to try to find something similar. human nature. and like someone stated, i'm in the transitioning process.
For note taking, try SpringPad, Evernote, and Catch Notes, then pick your preference. They all have voice memos and back up your information to the cloud so you can access them from a PC, too. I used to use Color Note on my old phones, but moved on for the cloud storage and the better UI of the above mentioned.

Poweramp was stated before
Like you said, just opening the default search, accessible through a widget, has full device search (or "spotlight"). What do you mean by better?

The stock google music player supports changing songs. I use it since i got the phone. Press twice and it goes to the next song. I think pressing three times it takes you back a song. Im on stock 4.2. Im using my samsung vibrant's one button headset.

its better to have the functionality built in and fast than it is to add apps to do these things and eventually slow down the phone. its also nice to be able to customize the entire experience. from quick settings all the way down to the on-screen buttons. and if you stick nova (launcher in play store) on there... you get full customization of everything in between. along with uber speedy transitions and animations. without slowing down the os.
your phone is made to dev on. it is near impossible to brick. use it for what it is made for and i promise you will enjoy the ride.
spotlight (universal search) is patented. so android cannot do that.

hey guys
i have ordered an imito mx2 which i should have in a week. i think this was the best device for its value. i hope i am right
once i have the stick, have you got any tips on what i should do? in regards to rooting it? what will this allow (install google apps without playstore etc) it has jellybean 4.1.1 can i update this to latest jelly bean, or doesnt it work like that?
the imito stick has bluetooth
which bluetooth keyboard would you reccomend or is it better getting a wireless keyboard which uses the usb port...? i want a good sized keyboard thats easy to use as i will be using the device to browse web etc
i hope you can help
thanks
You don't need to be rooted to install apps outside of the play store. Just check on install apps from unknown sources in settings. I have the mx2 I think it is great but sometimes it lags especially when downloading something. I bought the rc11 air mouse and it is good but I wish I would of got one with a built in touchpad for easier scrolling and gestures.

I would get the k400, I've got it and I like it. YouTube is fullscreen, I haven't done any streaming so I can't help you there. Just google mx1 root it works for the mx2 as well make sure to run the programs as administrator.

I have an MK808 and a RC11 Air Mouse. The air mouse works awesome like a wiimote. The keyboard is awesome except it will drop a character occasionally. I don't plan on writing a paper on it but simple searches and logins is great.
The RC11 is a better mouse (IMO) and the K400 is a better keyboard. You can buy the keyboard locally but the RC11 needs to be ordered online.

WIndows desktop theme
I have a imito mx2 I just got, its rooted and a new rom is in place. I am using it as my main computer now and im looking for a windows 7 desktop theme to place on it. I have come across many windows 7 phone themes and various other ones that are close but nothing like what I'm looking for. Is there someone how has created one. I would try to make one myself but to do a full theme like windows 7 desktop is out of my experience range. I would love to hear your feed back.

I think your windows 7 themed Android unit will somehow create a blackhole in the universe and destroy all life as we know it.... why risk it?
These devices don't support CM10 themes. I'm unsure if the CM10 Rom even had theme support in it. Your best bet is to load a custom launcher and themed.

Here's something i painted recently using Artflow Studio and PS Touch
Wicked mate!! Kudos
Hi, long time forum lurker, first time post.
Image done in sketchbook pro
these are my best so far lol
This is my most recent, though I did many on my 2012 10.1. I have only done 2 on the new one so far.
Actually I will post both of the ones I've done on my 10.1 2014, why not.
Haven't really started to explore the artistic side of the Note and can't wait to start either tbh but this was my first attempt - not the best I know but a start anyways.
P.s I love minions haha

It's pretty similar to SketchBook in terms of what it does although it doesn't have the wider selection of fancy preset brushes. I've listed below a few advantages (and disadvantages) which made me use it more than SBP:
Pros:
- More layers on a 4K canvas. Depending on what tablet you use, you can have 16 layers even if you max-out the canvas size.
- More levels of undo and redo function (can probably go over 100 if you adjust the settings). I think SketchBook only has 10 levels of undo and redo. You can even undo layer merging in Artflow.
- More layer blending options.
- Smoother brush engine, particularly if you want to replicate pencil work. IMO anyway since experience is subjective.
- Awesome customer support. They actually listen to customer's problems and reply to you personally and quickly. And more often than not, will issue an update that will fix your problem quicker than the devs at Sketchbook Pro.
- More frequent improvement updates that introduces enhanced or added features.
Cons:
- No portrait mode.
- Fewer preset brushes.
- No Copic color presets (i kinda miss this the most)
Here's a few screenshot of the interface of Artflow:

No portrait mode? Thats kind of a biggy, I dont think I've drawn anything on my note 2014 in landscape mode, it just seems more comfortable in portrait for sketching... I'm surprised that it is locked to landscape, seems strange!

Yeah, at first it kind of bothered me too since i came from SBP. But i learned to live without portrait mode when i think of the fact that this is the same way i draw digitally on my laptop using a graphics tablet since i don't reorient my laptop monitor to portrait just to do portraits. But i think the devs are working on integrating portrait mode, it's just a matter of time before its implemented.

One of the software features that isn't getting much press but one that I'm hugely looking forward to is the ability to hide the On Screen Nav Buttons on an app by app basis.
I've never been 100% behind Google's decision to advocate the On Screen Nav Buttons. A huge waste of screen real estate sitting there doing nothing while you read/play etc. The expectation was that developers would choose to hide them when they weren't needed but that never really happened. Some developers got behind the idea (thanks!) but even Google has inconsistent behavior when dealing with them.
Now we can choose to display them or not on an app by app basis. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen displays them again.
There are a number of delightful touches like this one on the G3.
Great work LG.

I agree. Even though it's easy enough to root the phone and force immersive mode, I applaud LG for implementing something that should be on every applicable Android phone, yet isn't. I'm very much looking forward to the phone becoming available, whenever that may be.
Though a nice effort by LG, there are a lot of games that use up motions for movement. Anyone into game emulators will especially have issues. Not to mention not all apps work with it, including web browsers.
I prefer my S4 having buttons at the bottom. The irony is the G3 5.5" display is the same size as the 5" display S4 for some apps and navigation.
Still, LGs effort is MUCH better than nothing.

Browsers do work with it. I say 'browsers' but I can only confirm Chrome and the stock browser.
In the instances that it might cause a problem for things like emulators then just don't include them in the list. It's an opt-in feature on an app per app basis. Best of both worlds really.

seems to work perfectly with chrome and stock browser and pretty much any app that i select on my phone. I have to say LG really listens to people and implement their suggestions on their devices. I hate wasting screen real estate especially when i'm playing games or watching a video in an app that can't force the nav bar to minimize. LG solved this problem.
not all apps, I guess

I do not think this cool feature will work on all apps.
This sounds a very good feature and something that everyone should be doing, the thing is though I haven't seen this mentioned in any reviews I've seen or read and that's quite alot! As mentioned I'd prefer hard buttons ala Samsung phones but because they've dropped FM Radio I wont be buying one of those any time soon.
Does anyone know if there's the one handed mode from the G Pro 2 that shrinks the whole screen down to a size of your choice? Again was featured and mentioned in G Pro 2 reviews but is not something I've heard about on the G3

It's a nice feature for sure, but gets old after awhile. I hate constantly having to swipe up to bring them up to hit the back button. It's cool on some apps, then others it's not. For whatever reason I can't get it to go away in YouTube. This is on 4.4.2 on a g flex though.

It's a shame there is no pie like control system in the stock rom but it's a lot better than other stock roms where you can do absolutely nothing with the on screen buttons.
It's nice to use for certain apps such as a news app or game where you don't need buttons. Other then that out doors get annoying to swipe up, but I'm glad LG included it.
