With ROMs...do people prefer Odexed or Deodexed?

 

[mrk]

Odexed is supposed to be smoother in terms of performance, de-odexed if you plan on customising apps and themes etc.

On the Note 3 there's no difference these days. Fast phones shouldn't see any different here.

NOva Launcher has a new update now too with new Kit Kat style features:

Plays and looks great but it's boring and the franchise has lost its way now and has become mostly a marketing machine with adverts everywhere.

Well, according the the Play store it is compatible with the HTC One, but I probably won't bother to install it though.

Can anyone recommend an SMS Ap that will allow me to store a number (5-10) of SMS Templates so that I can send SMS's quickly from a shortcode? Eg: "Work" - "Sorry I'm at work I'll call you back later".

I can do this from an old Blackberry and its really useful!

Agreed, the art design is nice but the game itself just doesn't have any charm to it at all, it's rather dull and unexciting.

Never considdered using Spotify until yesterday when it became free for Android (Phones and Tablets)

Now I'm listening to music by bands I've only ever heard about, rather than actually heard before!!..

Currently working my way through Some of 'Primus' back catalogue!!

Is there an app that will allow me to control my HP webcam through my phone*? Google comes back with people using Teamviwer - I could do this but it's rather fiddly.



*I want to take pictures from my webcam during a party tonight every X minutes. Or could I set something up for it to take picture automatically?
