Anyone who uses Quickpic, noticed that the last few updates have resulted in jerkier zooming/panning around zoomed in images?

Aha what the hell. That's been in my clipboard since last night, oops! Looks like I'll have to give Logitech an e-mail about my keyboard.

Correct video:

N64oid Sixaxis and Analogue support ( was a bit of a pain getting analogue working )

I do own Diddy Kong for those asking.

What app did you use to pair?

If you could use Jarvis's voice (from iron man

) on S-voice instead I would instantly install it then!

S-voice is much better than siri!

Sixaxis Controller. To get analog working,

Sixaxis Controller > Preferences > Gamepad Settings > Edit Mappings
Map Up, Right, Left, Down to the PS Home button ( button 1 or R3 ).

In N64oid, map the Dpad as normal which all should now point to Button 1 or R3
Now Analog Left etc will point to DPAD but it's analog.

The best layout I found was
L2, R2 > C Left , C Right
Triangle > C Up
Circle > C Down

L1 > Z ( same as L trigger )
R1 > R Trigger

I think Siri is a lot nicer but at the moment it's crippled a bit due to some of the features not working outside of the US.

When they do work properly it'll be great (but still only useful in the car).

Bung IVONA TTS on and the voice is then as normal as a human voice

Jarvis TTS to come I guess!

Did you have any issues or use any work arounds installing IVONA TTS?

I had it working fine on other android devices (galaxy tab 10.1, xperia ray, galaxy s) but now on the One X with ICS which the others never had, it locks up the phone and so had to ditch it after about 4 attempts to remove-reinstall.
I really liked Amy, and Nicole lol

No workarounds required for the S3, I think it's a HTC issue on the One X, probably related to SenseUI.

Custom rom time methinks

Never heard what IVONA sounds like, but I bet you it doesn't sound anywhere as cool as what Jarvis does!

The Android version of Neuroshima Hex is finally out. Great board game, the iOS version was excellent and I'm glad to see it's made it over to Android.

I wish they would bring Orba to Android, been waiting for it for about 2 years now.
