Essential Android Apps

Been using the blacked out version since 4.0.25 - that didn't have any content under the categories though as it wasn't official here in the UK

4.0.26 started working properly about a week ago

Installing 4.0.27 right now

Looks nice doesn't it!

Why would you not want your phone to be rooted?

CBA

Some apps don't work with rooted phones (more apps than just sky go, although not that many)

Blacked-out Google Now is hideous.

Sky go is the only app I miss. My nexus10 is not rooted by crappy sky go does not work on it yet

What is the new swype like?

How does it compare to the 4.2 and swiftkey flow keyboards? Personally find the 4.2 keyboard to have better swype/gesture typing than SK flow.

I just realised today I had SwiftKey purchased.

So I went and installed it. Switched back to stock 4.2 right away. Think I'm just too used to stock. I don't actually use the swype features - I still tap individual letters.

Stock it is for me!

SwiftKey learns so trying it for a quick go really won't give you an idea of whether it works for you. I couldn't go back to stock now, far too slow in comparison.

That said i am very interested in these new keyboard solutions particularly minuum.

Anyone know of a UK flavour of the Mint.com app? I can't find anything similar to it that does everything that does and it looks awesome.
