New essential Android apps thread

I suggest changing over to Fossify Gallery. Simple was bought out and no longer open source, and started to inject ads to some of the apps. Fossify is a fork of the last open sourced version and stays open source.

Downloaded, thanks!

Did not know about Fossify, nice, been using Simple Gallery pro as it's ad free and worked fine, but open source is best.

Can someone check if Betfair, Betfair Exchange, Skybet etc are available for them on the Google Play Store please?

I can't seem to find any of these anymore!

Anyone know if it's easily possible to change the icons used for notifications of each app? I used to use spark for my emails, but they stupidly use an icon that's almost identical to maps, so when I'm using sat nav and that icon is up, I keep thinking I have emails. And now I've swapped emails to em clientand of course the icon has to look just like WhatsApp so I keep thinking I have a new message when it's just email.

I doubt it's possible to change but sure would like to have control of this.

Don't think it's possible as it's up to the app developer. I can see why you would get mixed up though, Spark does look similar to Map's GPS icon, and eM's shape looks more like a messenger icon.

Thunderbird is more of a standard rectangle envelope icon, but looking at what Spark and eM offers it lacks the features you're probably using.

Em client is amazing for one reason. I have wanted for years the ability to login and have all my accounts instantly ready on my mobile. I jsut scan the bar code and don't it's logged in, all my tags, my filters, auto replies, signatures, ready in a split second. Reloading all your email accounts into a new phone was one of my biggest problems when I got a new phone
