Essential Android Apps

MX Video Player is quite the choice around here

BS Player Lite is a lot better, probably "the" best too. It streams 1080p h.264 videos over WiFi no problems.

Using Dice Player here. Played everything so far.

You got a Wireless 'n' router?

Hey, can I ask a quick question of any swypers? How do you get it to register web addresses? Say I want to go to www.bbc.co.uk I'm currently having to tap w w w . Then I can swype bbc before tapping . co . uk. I'm sure it must be able to recognise web addresses?

indeed streamed 25gb mkv 1080p version of avatar flawlessly

Try them all. I tried many on my Galaxy Nexus but the only one which could actually play 1080p MKV flawlessly was Dice Player. All the others struggled.

QuickPic has received an update today and brings a brand new UI to reflect ICS with super slick animations. Really is the best photo and video browser. Remember to enable the black theme if using the white one.

Awesome update, thanks for the heads up

Does anyone know what these ugly squashed graphics are on my ICS Browser + address field?

 

[EniGmA1981]

They look like mutated offspring from the lockscreen sliders :-/

Are those tabs scrollable? can you slide them over to read more of the url? maybe it's meant to have SOME sort of slider icon, but it's picked up the wrong one?

Have you tried clearing browser data/cache and seeing if that helps?

This is in the browser addressbar right? I've given it a go now and circling on the w button once and then swype over to the full stop button gives me www. Thats the shortest cut I can find.

Just having a play to see if I can get .co.uk added to the dictionary and achieve accurate recall.

They don't move at all, they're just.. there

Tried clearing data and they still appear. Strange.

Hi Guys,

Just got my Galaxy Nexus and really loving the Simple Text Widgets, was curious though if there was something similar for an E-Mail Widget/App?

Cheers

Noticed that before in westcrips ICS build, Something to do with Lidroid framework, But I didn't see it in the ICS browser.
