I don't suppose anybody can suggest a good alternative to DashClock?

I wondered why ES Global added lots of bloat to the free version. Now I know!

Purchased, and with my opinion rewards, it was paid for by Google.

You can't really blame Android if you're using a custom rom and are having issues like that though.

Fair enough, I was moaning more at having to do so for every app (when it works)

WhatsApp 2.12.506 Revamps And Reorganizes The Settings Screen

Remember that you'll need to be part of the Play Store beta program or to manually download the APK from APK Mirror to get version 2.12.506. Otherwise, you'll still be on the official Play Store release version which is a little behind. And as is the case with these changes, we might see them stick around in the future or they might just be a test. We won't know until a few more beta versions roll out with or without them.

I don't really play many mobile games these days but just came across this simple little puzzle game, finding it really addictive:

Hey guys,

I'm after a calendar notifications widget for my home screen? Something better than the stock Sony Android/Google one

Thoughts?

Something like this one which scrolls?

Ha, thanks mate! Wow, that is a busy screen... too rich for my blood, that gave me a panic attack just looking at it

Will check out the Today Calendar, think I may have even got the trial still installed.

Thanks people!

I've tried to get more on it but the icons are too small

Is it just me or does Google Camera not appear on the Play store any more, on both searching via the app or the site (and even via Googling)? Oddly enough I can still access it via the direct link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
