Seems to work fine here.

Hmmm. I've uninstalled Pro and installed the free version, and it's still not letting me use the dark widget? I'm stuck with generic crappy blue looking thing with FriendCaster splashed all over it??

HTC Sensation btw

I think Google Currents may be my new RSS reader

Axident · 8 Dec 2011 at 22:22

Is Google Currents just the same as Pulse?

I wish the backup thing for user data worked properly, I'm fed up with not having save data from games not in a cloud. I want to be able to pick up my phone or tablet and be able to resume front where I left off.

Applied black theme within friendcaster first?

edit: Maybe not for now. Doesn't mark RSS articles as read, and even though I've removed the demo content, it's still appearing in the featured part at the top.

Nice for a version 1 though

OnLive is out: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.client

Worked pretty well on my Sensation, quite hard to control though but pretty cool.

Every time i click download or purchasr, the app market says unfortunately there has been an error and it cuts off.

Cleared cache and data, to no effect, even deleted it with tibu, and reinstalled to no avail.

What can i do?

is there an app that lets you control winamp music that's playing on your pc (like pause, next, back) over wifi on the phone?

mrk · 9 Dec 2011 at 11:36

Yes, aWinamp remote.

With the rehashed Dizzy: Prince of the YolkFolk being released today, for £1.49 you can't really go wrong

Filesize too large for my SGS (why is there even this restriction?!) so it's incompatible.

^ Seems to be off the Market now but I still have it installed. The same dev has released a new app though that has a new UI but does the same thing:

I downloaded ADWLauncher ex yesterday, and I'm just wondering if there is anyway to delete home screens? It has a default of 5, and I just don't need that many.

Also, is there anyway to have folders in the app drawer?

antonusklesk · 9 Dec 2011 at 13:07

Not sure about folders but to remove screens: Press menu > Edit > Press the 'X' below each screen you want to remove.

I got it yesterday too and trawled through the preferences for ages searching for homescreen number before I worked it out lol.

Caseh · 9 Dec 2011 at 13:08

Oh god such an easy thing aswell!

Thanks a lot

Edit: The folders bit is annoying though, as I used them a lot on GO Launcher, but I do prefer ADW overall.

Shame, was looking at getting it this evening. Do the galaxy s2's have the restriction? Wonder why though as the things come with 16gb built in.

I haven't come across a restriction yet , so I don't think it's the same for SGS2

Thanks for the info. Will grab it this evening when I have access to wifi. Completely forgot about the game until I checked the site this morning for news on it and noticed it was out.
