CM stuff is generally full of bloat and associated with privacy concerns isn't it? Unless they've changed. I can't fault Nova

Nope not had this

I would say the "battery saver" and "antivirus" is bloat

Well this app has had me chuckling for a little while...

Love that selfie cam.

Just uninstall it?

But they're part of CM Launcher! To uninstall them you need to uninstall CM Launcher which you seem happy with.

CM launcher? Wise choice

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

It's really not that bad

is there any recommended app i can use for listening to podcasts.

I would like to store my podcasts on dropbox and listen to them. however i would like a player that can skin in intervals of 5 seconds because of ads etc.

currently only music player i use is google music. I do have poweramp but not using it anymore as all my music is on the cloud now

Google Music supports podcasts now I think in case you weren't aware.

Edit: It's supposed to, but can't see it in the app anywhere, so maybe it hasn't rolled out yet.

Not yet. They are accepting podcast submissions but that's US only at the moment.

I still think BeyondPod is the best podcast player. I love it's SmartPlay feature, set priorities to feeds or categories, auto updates overnight and then you just press play...

Em3bbs · 30 Nov 2015 at 12:13

Another vote for Beyondpod here.

Definitely Pocketcasts for me.

Skeeter · 30 Nov 2015 at 16:58

I don't listen to many podcasts, but I've used Pocketcasts for the ones I do and its been fine.

Pocket Casts. Personally love it. Automatically download for specific shows, very configurable and for a bit extra works well through a browser too which Sync across all devices.

Anyone know of a good SMS blocker? I've got Mr Number installed but a number on my block list has still managed to ring me twice today. Don't even mind paying for it as long as it actually blocks numbers.

you tried true caller?
