i don't understand what's so hard about getting gmail to just check your other accounts instead and have it all piped into the gmail app

Its not hard but I decided a while back I don't want all of my email passing through google servers. It can be quite invasive with targeted adverts and such.

Seems to work on both my Nexus 4 and even my Nexus 7 (for big screen Navigation!! )

Only problem I found is it wouldn't connect to my current HEREMaps account, I had to Log-in with Farcebork...

and thus log out of the App on my PC and then Login again with Farcebork there too!!

You prefer ads that are of no interest to you at all?

Nova Launcher just had an update bringing in more Lollipop to it, loving the new folder animation!

The Moonshine icon pack also had a massive update, adding new icons as well as revamping some of the older ones to be more in line with Material. Mix this with the Lollipop animations on Nova and it looks and feels fantastic.

Oooh let's check the update out

I finally decided to install nova launcher today, should have done it ages ago.

A reason why no SD slots are stupid right there. Europe Maps, 9GB!

Am I the only one around here....still having issues with Chrome Beta not rendering this forum properly? Firefox seems to manage it fine.

Chrome doesn't work on the forums correctly for me either, FF doesn't either IIRC?

 

[Quinnaay]

Chrome still shows that thing where text is small then another post is large etc frustrating.

Only seems to cure it if you view it in landscape mode

FF still goes wobbly in landscape. but it has stylish so i put up with it

e: if you use the text reflow plugin it'll bring text up to a readable size but it's still not uniform.

Didn't know the Fox had stylish on Android, does it have the black forums plugin as well?

Anyone know if it's possible to make the clock/weather widget on my One M8 transparent? It's transparent when on the lock screen, but unlocked it's got a horirble creamy white background to it!

Or a similar app that does it? Thanks.

that's just a script from userstyles.org, so yes, yes it does
