What's the best app to get SMSs on my Mac?

Pushbullet can send SMS and reply, but there's not really any way to see previous convo history.

I used this app before moving over to Pushbullet and works well: http://mightytext.net/#

It is however a browser extension instead of a native OS X app.

What's everyone using for news feeds? I have all my feeds in feedly, but the app is a bit lacking so looking to try something new out.

Does anyone know why my Trips bundle in Inbox is different from all of the others? I've got all the bundles turn on, but this one seems to be separate from the others, and has less settings to configure.

Spoiler

edit: Think I've figured it out. It creates bundles of trips inside this label..

Is this battery display an app I can download?

 

[Scottland]

It's not an app, do get it like that the phone software has to support it. Most android phones now have some sort of battery % available in the status bar like that, if yours doesn't then you'd have to look at custom software (ROM's) and rooting the phone.


What phone do you have?

A S6

From settings, go in the battery options and in there is an option to turn on battery %.

It puts the % next to the battery symbol, guess the one I like must from a different manufacturer.

There are plenty of others available, but you'll need to be rooted for them.

You can change this with xposed modules. But the S6 is unable to use xposed on lollipop until they fix it which doesn't seem to be anytime soon.

There is a fix available but it only works on Deodexed ROMS

Didn't think it was tested as working on the S6 last time I checked? Just other samsung phones

The one in the image looks like Sony.


As other's have said, you can root the device and either used Xposed or Custom Rom's to acheive this, but make sure you're comfortable with rooting and what it means before going down that route.

I tried to root my old S3 but ended up bricking it, so I'll stick with what I've got

That looks cool. Do you have to use it as a text app on your phone? Does it show other notifications (Gmail etc) on your PC?

I use GSam Battery Monitor which gives you % on left hand side and apparently the pro version can overlay standard battery icon but doesn't work for me on my Moto G with GoLauncherX running.

Is there a decent (good looking) app for managing multiple hotspot / tethering profiles?
