Any suggestions for an App that displays the battery percentage in the notification bar? Was using GSam battery monitor with an icon pack, but after rooting it's not playing ball. Every now and again the icon will disappear, even though it's excluded in my task manager :(

I use BatteryBot Pro, works fine on rooted devices. There's a free version too here.

So apparently Astrid is closing down within the next month :( This is a real pain as I use it A LOT for work and I'm not sure any other to do lists do the simple things I require -

- Auto repeat a task
I have something that I do every week on a Tuesday, when I complete it one week, recreate the task for next week

- Hide task until a certain time
This is the one I think others don't do. Lets say I have a task I need to do every two months, when I complete it and it recreates, I don't want to see this task until maybe a week before it's due again

This is it really. Many apps do lots of complicated things, I only want these two features... anyone know of an app that can do both?

I'm in the same boat - I would also add I would like to have the functionality to assign and keep track of tasks given to someone else.

Hiveminder did the two two you mention, though was more web than app based

When you say closing down, will it still work as is for existing users?
 
That's what I wondered...

Maybe if it syncs to external servers it might cause an issue if they close the servers, but I can't see how stopping development and ceasing updates would affect existing versions

Same as the GS2/GS3 JKay settings app - even though he's stopped developing the framework, the existing mod/app still works exactly the same
 
Got a request from my brother for a 0-60 timing app to use in the car?
I've looked but every review of the ones I've looked at don't look great, obviously going to take all numbers with a pinch of salt though!

Swiftkey's flow caused me a lot of grief, Swype is far more accurate.

I've only been using it for two days so we'll see. The prediction accuracy is good. I have been managing to write half of my sentences using next word prediction.

Were they complaints about accuracy?
Most use GPS and therefore aren't too good because of the inaccuracies of A-GPS and inherent latency of GPS.

If your brother is a petrol head the app "Torque" might be of use to him as it takes data from the car's ECU.

Hoping someone can help me, did anyone ever use the ios/android app from PageOnce called "triptracker"? I can't find it on the Play Store, I can find an "APK" to download on this weird site but not sure if I trust it.
