Essential Android Apps

I do miss having a row of numbers on my keyboard. I don't suppose I've just missed it in Swype settings by any chance?

No numbers row on main keyboard, I just press but the symbols button to get it on that board

I've never had it before, but the stock keyboard on the S4 has it and it's surprising how handy I found it...

I can't get on with this swiping keyboard stuff, so I use Kii Keyboard, with 200ms for long presses, so I can get to symbols and numbers that I use without changing from the main keyboard. It has most extra's built in, so I can add a with a press, or even go for it with a ♪~♪ d(ᴖoᴖ)b ♪~♪

How does swype look on a tablet screen?

There's some app screenshots of the tablet layout on Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nuance.swype.dtc

And you only need to buy one version instead of two seperate ones if you have both phone and tablet! Only just installed it on my Nexus 10 so will play around with it a bit.

I'm using nova launcher and every time I install an app it overlaps another app, how do I stop this ?

Anything to do with the information in Nova Settings > New Apps?

I've looked there and ticked the box that sais use other pages if full but it still does the same thing ?

I think since Farcebook started updating 'outside' Google Play, in contravention of the Rules set out by Google, other Apps have stopped updating outside, even for Beta releases, as Google are 'cracking down' on the practice!

Nice one Farcebook... ruin it for everyone again!!

i still get nova beta updates though... maybe they're just crafty

This might be caused because you have it enabled in the play market options rather than the Nova option.

Anyone having problems with Apex notifier and HTC's mail app? It doesn't seem to update my unread count properly now. Everything else seems ok.. Gmail, text etc.

Does anyone have the latest Adblock Plus apk? Think its version 1.1, the adblock site is non responsive at the moment.

after having Swype for a day or two it's definitely much better then swift key

I've always been a thumb keyboard die hard (always found swiftkey to be a horrible unpredictable buggy mess) and just tried Swype out off the back of this post.

Converted!!! seems brilliant.
