I had Cerberus on the 1 week trial but I don't have the option for the free life time subscription.

Is anyone familiar with Tasker?

Trying to set up a profile to either turn on airplane mode during a certain time or just disable GPS at a certain time. Both work work to turn off at a certain time, but once it gets outside the certain time, they wont turn back on. Any ideas? Can post what I've got in my tasks if need be.

Edit - Nevermind. Managed to add an exit task. Wasn't showing up at first for some reason.

Does anyone know if there is a workaround to prevent Sky Go from preventing the phone going into deep sleep?

Don't think there's an app for that considering how KitKat changed all the permissions with SD cards.

New Google Camera app.....new filters, new shutter release blah blah blah blah. Best feature? Switch to video in portrait and it will prompt to go landscape!

The new features are good but I don't like it for one thing, WHY OH WHY does the shutter button need to take up so much screen space?

because the camera has a 4:3 sensor - so your can now frame/compose your picture in it's entirety rather than getting a cropped view finder like before.

I'm liking Forza Football at the moment

One of the better designed football scores app.

Yep, so much better now. Was getting totally sick of having to guess where the edges of the actual photo would be.

For anybody in the Noval Launcher beta program there is a new update to Tesla Unread Count this morning. At last it can cope with Hangouts among other new things.

Does it support Whatsapp yet!?

Father Ted · 29 Apr 2014 at 10:04

It does indeed.
