For a dialer, I've found Youlu Address book to be better than dialer one.

There is a thread in the Development section that outlines this, link is:

It uses QPST to edit the encoded information in phone.
I would like to add, for must have apps, Loot is the best free checkbook type app I've found. Also, if you've rooted, Adfree is a MUST, as is AutoKiller. I've saved a ton of money using the Coupon App. Youtube ripper is great for saving vids to phone, subsonic lets you tap your home music resources from phone, ROM Buddy is great for your emulator needs. And, MP3 Download is great for on the fly music downloads.

Facrbook Andriod help

Hey guys just recently I have had these issues with the Andriod Facebook app
1) after the first bunch of posts the newsfeed won't load
2) can't send inbox's
3) can't comment on freinds status's or page's
What I have tried to fix it
1) clear cache data
2) download a older version
3) uninstall and reinstall
4) Restart my phone
Does anybody have a solution to this???

Yeah ditch the app! It's rubbish. I use Friendcaster Pro and it's awesome.
By the way, xda developers don't work on this app, maybe get on Facebook help site or whatever they use and ask them. There the ones making this crap.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

+1 with the use friendcaster pro
+2 with the facebook app is crap
+3 with the xda doesnt deal with the crappy fb crap lol

I used scope beta. It's an amazing app with Facebook twitter instagram and others under one app with a Google plus style layout.
Very impressive even for a beta no bugs

News and Weather Genie not stock ?

My Brother just picked up the Nexus 7 with 4G. He's an iPhone guy switching over slowly.
Anyways, he asked me for some good Widgets. I said an Android classic is the "News and Weather" genie widget. He said that's not on this tablet. I told him to look under apps, for News and Weather, and sane under the Widget tab. He said nope, not there.
Did Google remove that classic Widget ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Anyone ?
I don't own the Nexus 7 myself. Just a Galaxy Nexus, and a Note 2 running CM10.1 and the "News and Weather" genie widget is standard.
Is it not installed on the Nexus 7 ?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

Nope not installed on the nexus 7. I read somewhere on here Google does not support it any more or something like that?
I've tried to side load the apk file to my n7 many times with no success.
However I am running clean ROM inheritance 3.2 and it comes with the ROM.
I am new to all this stuff. This is what I don't understand, the app is listed as transperent. It does not show up in titanium backup and I can't find it with root explorer.
I have no idea what is going on with this app.
I hope someone can clear this up

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

U may extract it from official firmware (update.zip) with any archiver.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99¢ is hard to find due to the holidays.

any calculator apps that work? Just got one of these for Christmas and I'm ready to tinker haha. Does anyone know if apps for the SW will work on here?

Wouldn't it be wiser to make this list when a consumer version comes out. It would be safe to say a lot of apps aren't going to be working. Seems a tad redundant.
