Any news on when they'll put gta vice city back on the store after todays epic fail?

Was looking forward to it.

Loving this SwiftKey but how do you do that swiping thing so you can write a whole sentence without lifting up finger?

Been playing with SwiftKey Flow beta, best typing experience on my phone yet. Insane one-handed speeds without much concentration required. Fantastic.

Is SwiftKey Flow Beta draining anyone else battery?

Jacob (: · 6 Dec 2012 at 22:55

I have found swiftkey flow terrible.. far less accurate than with swype and the other alternative options for the prediction often dont include the word i was typing! Was really looking forward to it too as i get on really well with normal swiftkey keyboard

SwiftKey flow is working great for me so far, has only got a couple of words wrong so far using the no finger lift method.

Haven't notice battery drain yet, will keep an eye on it though.

Vice City probably won't be released until the end of next week now according to Rockstar's Twitter.

ColEx · 7 Dec 2012 at 07:41

At least its not a month or two wait, a weeks wait is no worries.

I don't get how to do the no lift finger method?!?!

EDIT: Ignore the above, worked it out! Pretty cool.

Anyone tried Snapseed photo editor?

I believe it was an iOS app but has just been released for Android. I have to say it's bloody brilliant. My One S has lots of camera effects but I think I'm going to ditch all that and start using Snapseed. It's so intuative

Swipe past the space between each word. Works fine for me but i'm not sure if i actually like this style of typing :/ And no swipe left for delete word :mad:

Holding the backspace button just seems so slow

Just give it a try there, it is a pretty neat wee app, personally not keen on the way everything is done by gestures. Prefer the stock sense gallery and gallery ICS for effects.

A new type of launcher is out.

Action Launcher

mrk · 7 Dec 2012 at 20:30

That looks good! Gonna take a look I think

Edit*
But not at £2.59...no free version to test?!

Also QuickPic is the best photo gallery app, /thread

Doublepost

Nexus18 · 7 Dec 2012 at 20:39

Hmm, that launcher looks pretty good, but I think I would still prefer nova.

I am sure that you are aware of the ways to obtain a "test/free" version mrk

I like quick pic a lot, however, I am not so keen on the way it seems to optimise/sharpen the images even more, can make some photos look great, but other photos become too sharp thus have a jaggy effect

mrk · 7 Dec 2012 at 21:03

I've not noticed that problem on my phones I have to say! Have you changed any of the rendering settings maybe?
