Nova Launcher Prime is winning now!

I was after a cross platform, Android to Blackberry... Viber only lists Android and iOS in it's description?

Robbo · 24 Apr 2012 at 07:50

Yes, unfortunately Viber is iOS/Android only, though it is good.

It's due out soon for BB.

Plus it's the only other launcher to have the option to display the dock as an overlay when you assign a gesture to show/hide the dock...

I'm constantly swapping between Apex and Nova but as you say, Nova is definitely pipping them at the post with this last (massive) update!

(Plus, Nova's new icon looks better too - less widgetlocker-esque)

Notification Toggle

Perfect

Thanks

Is there an application that will disable mobile data when the battery is low in order to save juice?

Docaroo · 24 Apr 2012 at 10:11

JuiceDefender I think does this... but many power management apps do this

What is the best jogging app?

switchpro lets you put custom switches in the notification bar too - looks neater than notification toggle as no matter how many you put on there, it'll all be on one line (unless you make two widgets with half on each)

This looks epic.

One question though, mobile data or wifi, which uses less power?

It depends on the signal, but in general Wi-Fi.

Endomondo is great.

Nova Launcher Prime's folder aren't as slick as GoLauncher EX (yet) but the launcher has additonal features like 2 finger gestures as well as the single finger ones so I will use NOva for the time being...and having paid for it ¬_¬

PiKe · 24 Apr 2012 at 14:29

On llama, if I disable wifi and data at a low battery state do I need another event to kick them back on when I say, plug it into a charger?

Also if the battery runs low, wifi and data turns, then I get to work and that event kicks in? Will the low battery event not re-trigger?

I have double tap on my home screen to enable Screen Filter, pretty nice showing to friends.

mrk · 24 Apr 2012 at 14:38

Ah yes the double tap feature is a nice thing too! I use screen filter in the cinema sometimes during boring moments of a movie ¬_¬ or in bed when my eyes are sensitive!
