Not heard of Gerk II, is that another Android roguelike?

It's actually spelt Gurk (my bad!).

It's an 8bit style RPG, 'roguelike'? No idea! :confused:

Got the update tonight but have not tried it yet. Seems to have some excellent features!

Does the new Airdriod let you send whatsapp messages? I've had a play but can't seem to find the option...

What's apex notifier?

Matteysan · 26 Apr 2013 at 11:14

Seems it is an addon to deal with notifications

Quick Question... I have Apex Free installed on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. If I buy the 'Pro Licence' for my Nexus 4, would I be able to install it on my Nexus 7 also?, or would I have to buy a Licence for that device too??

I don't mind £2.49 for the extended features, but £4.98 is pushing it!!

Plus, where is Apex Notifier on the Play Store?? I can't find it!!

You only need to buy it once, Then it is linked to your Google account, So if you are using the same details you'll be fine to download it

Apex notifier isn't on the store you have to enable it from Apex settings & then it downloads it externally from their website.

I knew this wouldn't be straight forward. Spent hours yesterday updating my Google Contacts with hi-res pictures. Got my S4 this afternoon - first person I called looked fine. However two people since - it just reverts to the small pixelated picture. Any ideas?

All pictures were taken from Facebook and cropped accordingly.

Play Store 4.0.27 black edition is nice

Nexus18 · 27 Apr 2013 at 00:17

I presume that you have to be rooted?

mrk · 27 Apr 2013 at 00:18

Of course! Many colour versions available on XDA too.
