It backs up core stuff and settings to Google then if you reset your phone or flash a new ROM at first boot when signed in it will see you have stuff backed up and attempt to restore that data after a prompt.

That's the idea, though when I flash my San Fran it never seems to do anything.

NEW angry birds!

Angry Birds fans, you might want to check the "My Apps" section of the Market now – your favorite game just received an update, and it’s a big one.
In addition to goodies like a graphics toggle for lower-end devices and support for the code that will be displayed in Rovio’s Super Bowl ad (the code will unlock another level), update 1.5.1 adds a fifth episode – "Ham ‘Em High." It includes 30 new Wild West-themed levels, as well as 15 levels currently marked as "Coming Soon." Have a look:

It also wants access to SMS/Phone priviledges doesn't it?
 
PES 2011 out on Android...its so much better than real football 11, but not as polished as Fifa on the iPhone. Still good!
 
Just having a play with Tasker. Got some basic orientation profiles and location based profiles set up. Such as turning wifi off when I leave home/uni :)

Anyone got any handy profiles?

Can someone host the APK for me? it's not showing up in my market :-/

The online market is saying it's not compatible with my phone - but I wanna try it anyway LOL
 
Here you go :p
Code:

It's that time again for new apps :o

Trying to decide between goSMS and handcentSMS.

Dolphin mini, stock android, miren browser or xscope.

HTC_IME or gingerbread keyboard.

Best alarm clock, kaloer or stock.

Which ones do you all prefer and why?

So much choice and there all excellent as well, so makes the decision even harder :o

Thanks.

Oh and enigma, you might want to have a look at this:

http://forum.samdroid.net/f10/angry-birds-1-4-2-patched-3991/

Use that site for everything, including the google updates:

I am on it at the minute and it seems very fast and the screen responds better and looks a fair bit better.

Hmm, that does look very nice. Will give it a try.

Ok thanks.

One thing, which put me off the gingerbread keyboard is that seems quite big and so for some things it cuts the text off, so I can't see what I am typing e.g. the sweet notes widget when I edit it, although it is very fast and really easy to type using it. The things, which I like about the HTC_IME is that you can fully customize it, but it doesn't seem as quick and a wee bit of lag when texting compared to 2.3 KB, plus you also have a comma button on the main board itself, wish you could do that with the 2.3 KB as you have to either hold down on the symbol button or swap to the symbols part.
 
I've been using SwiftKey and its ok, but HTC_IME was still better
I've been using Better Keyboard just now, and do not like it at all!

Back to IME it is!


Oooo its quite hard to get used to IME again, Swiftkey was a bit more accurate!

Yeah, been having a look at that as well, heard it is suppose to be good, also looking at the keyboards like swype, tried swype once before and just couldn't get use to the swiping part :p

Yup, don't like better keyboard at all either, looks/feels extremely bloated.

Also heard that smart keyboard pro is suppose to be excellent.
