Thank you. Also taking a look now. Love Android Market, test drive apps for a day without any fees then can decide whats best.

I am very happy with NewsRob Pro. The free version is very good too.
It has an unread count widget.

[Q] HTC Weather provider

I have installed a non-Sense ROM (Cyanogen 7) and I am having problems with the weather updates.
My question is, what website was the provider in the HTC Desire Stock Sense ROM?
Thank you!

I'm running LeeDroid with the stock apps. When you tell me where I can find the host I could help you.

After flashing to CM7, I had some issues with some market weather apps. I use WF & Clock widget (free version) No problems since install.
There is a news and weather app which you could use by default.

I am a little addicted to sense-like weather applications and I was looking for something more configurable, especially on the weather providers. But I guess since there is no unified standard for that... it's a lot of work to have support for a group of them.

Quick Launch Widget

Hey there,
I'm looking for a Bliss Quick Launch Widget that is working on any Sense 3.5 ROM (especially RCMix3D or Virtous).
I searched around the forum but couldn't find something. Either the download links are down or the Widget doesn't work properly with my phone/rom (e.g. this one click).
So I would be glad if someone who has the widget on his/her phone or something like that could share it with us.
Does nobody have the widget?

Contacts+ "Best Contact App Ever for Android"

Just thought I'd let you folks know about Contacts+ , the contacts app I'm using on my stock now.
It is totally packed with features (chiefly, integration with social networks, WhatsApp integration and smart ordering), looks absolutely lovely, and just elevates the Android experience when using a smartphone.
As an added bonus, it pimps out your SMS and call log.

[Q] [Question] Breakaway Rom (Anyone Interested?)

~ I'm a big CM10 fan, don't get me wrong here. I just love to try new things, that's all ~
I've tried all roms in this forum, so many varieties with different pros and cons.
Recently I reverted to the latest GB 2.3.6 (December 2012 Euro Update), just to make a comparison.
Made some customizations on the interface and tested all my apps.
The result was very very satisfying for me.
Every app that i had in CM10 worked very well. (beach buggy blitz started without a glitch).
Battery life obviously is way much better because its based on stock, it can last up to 2 days with minor use.
And of course it has a fully working FM Radio and Original Samsung Camera. (primary reason i reverted)
The rom is pretty stable!!!
Overall, i'm loving this rom and probably will be my permanent rom. (Unless Samsung gives us an Ice Cream at least)
Now for the catch, the launcher is quite rebellious from the norm. So I will call it BreakAway Rom if ever.
So guys, if your interested, please answer yes in the poll above.
If I gather enough "yes" answers then I will post it in the Development Thread.

I can't vote either Pro or Con. First because it's not a ridiculous idea. No idea is ridiculous! It's an interesting idea and it's unique. The thing is that I wouldn't go back to 2.3.6 unless I really have to. It's just...it doesn't seem natural to me. And second, because the interface is kind of childish in my honest opinion (no offense), and it's WP-like...which I kind of hate, but of course, that's just my opinion. Some others might love it. So, in my opinion, if it's bug-free (or at least stable enough for testing), it's worth posting.

[APP]SmartCut

Hi guys!
So i created a application called SmartCut.
Paid:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut
Free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut.free
What it does is ones you activate it, it will place a trigger on your screen and with it you can easy access any placed apps from one of the five (paid, three if free version) positions.
Easy and clean design and alot of customisation for the trigger.
I would love if you had a look
This app looks amazing! And ideal for the s6 edge. Does it replace the favourites that's on the edge as standard?

Well, the thinget with people edge is that it can only be turned off from within settings. And not something that I can force. So right now, no sorry it does not but I like having one app with contacts and one for my apps
Nice effort, but I too has the same problem as jaythenut, went to add stock clock as first shortcut and the widget stopped working.
Keep crashing on mine too

Guys, i found the problem and fixed it. Im currently waiting on it being uploaded to play. It might take a few hours, 2-4 i guess.
Hope this will solve everything for you guys
its working for me,nice app i think it just has to be a little more smoother like the edge people widget
whats the diff between the free and pro
nice work.. it works for me.. I don't like the vibration when you slide it out but other than that its good..
I'm still waiting for a Dev to give us edge on launcher like the note edge.. sucks that we can only slide it out or use it when the screen is off. would love to remove status bar and have it on the edge but that's wishful thinking lol

Hi my computer crashed the other day so I'm waiting for a the new one to arrive. I'll fix asap!
thks a lot my friend, its so nice, i paid and work fine
Great idea I was looking for an app that utilizes the s6 edge. I was wondering if you would be implimenting a blur effect once it's open similar to the people's edge on the s6, support for icon packs, and also support folders as well.
Thanks again.
