^ do either of those have text reflow? i've used both before (a while ago now) and didn't really like the UI of either.

that's one feature i'm enjoying using opera for, but it seems to have an issue detecting clicking links unless you zoom in loads...

i'm currently using firefox as i've got a text reflow plugin, but text size is all over the place on ocuk/a few other forums i use. anyone know if there's a fix for ff for the text size?

Can anyone find the text size option in WhatsApp? I noticed after the recent update the text size reset itself, and going into the settings, I can't find the option to change it back to small :confused:

DriveDroid

Absolutely amazing app - I've so far used it to boot into gParted, Mint and UBCD. Will be pr0 having a Win7 install disc on it to boot from.

I'll be holding fire on the update. Lots of comments on the play store regarding font size.

i have mine smallest it can go (with 250 dpi down from 320) so as it stands it's fine for me, but does seem weird why they'd take out such a simple and handy feature :S

But.. It's always been there? Example, I re-installed WhatsApp last week when I switched ROMs and did what I always do, change the font size to "small".

It wasn't there on the last update, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many people complaining about it.

not using titanium backup?! weirdo

mrk · 29 Aug 2014 at 17:06

Oh I am but since WhatsApp is so finicky and decided to clean install it on the new ROM and let the DB backup restore itself.

Because the update that came out a couple of days ago removed it

. So they were pretty quick in adding the option back.

literally never EVER had a problem, even restoring from other phones...

pfft, samsung

mrk · 30 Aug 2014 at 02:30

Phone is irrelevant though!

My whatsapp groups are massive, media folder alone has over 9000 images, the DB goes back years.

Can't see it mentioned but Rayman is free today on the Amazon marketplace. Great game too.
