Is there any free apps out there that can add date (maybe short format) to the status bar (maybe beside the system clock)? I googled and found Date Status Bar by Modded Logic but cant seem to find a valid url for download and not found in the Market (only free apps in the Market in my country). Also havent seen any screen shot for Date Status Bar.
The reason being is that if i can add date to the status on top of the default time and battery indicator, then i can remove the clock widget from the home screen and save some screen real estate for other apps.
appreciate some feedback. thanks.
If you press on taskbar(don't drag it) you will see date on taskbar

There is an app for this in the market called date status bar, its also free so worth a try.

yes, i'm aware of this apps but cant find the apps in the Android Market in my country. I'm trying to search for the apk file, but failed so far.
Have you tried the Market Enabler tool?
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
It's for paid apps from different countries, but if you are not seeing a free one where you are it is worth a try. I have used it to grab US only apps from Europe, it's easy. Good luck.
market enabler is only for rooted phone. there's no root for HTC legend yet.

ok works well now. if the developer can get rid of the 2 notifications, then it will be perfect!
I've been using an app called "calendar in status bar" from the market. Not free but it's simple and works great.

Does anyone have an apk for an app switcher or info to point me in the direction to find one? The Amazon market doesn't have anything besides some swipe gesture one that is $1. Figured there were free ones out there I could grab if only I could get to their apks.
I'm not rooted so I don't have access to the Google Market.

getjar.com?? what exactly are you looking for
getjar doesn't actually download anything on the fire. My guess is it normally just hands the downloading off to the google market, so on the fire all i see is the download screen pop up for a second then disappear. Nothing ever downloads.
Basically I want a way to get the stock android task switcher when you hold down the home key. Holding down the soft home key on the fire does nothing.
I'd like a way to switch between apps easily.
I see that many apps exist in the google market that do this but since I have no market access I need apks.
I can download apps with getjar on my Fire....i selected the G2x as my device when it asked

There should be a "supported" Kindle Fire GetJar available now. Was supposed to be available by 4pmPST on the 16th.
When you choose the fire as your device all of the app selection disappears. guess we'll have to wait for apps to be marked as fire compatible.

I tried this. Prompted me to grab the getjar app from m.getjar.com, which I did.
But even then, after hitting download, nothing downloads.
I'm using AppSwipe.

This is exactly what I needed. Definitely not a nice as just holding down the Home button, but better than nothing at all... *shrugs*
Thanks!

This is great!
I've got the icon sizes set to about 100 instead of the default of 50. that made the icons much more finger friendly. Great find, thanks so much.
I just purchased the unlock code which is in the amazon app store, yet somehow the app doesn't recognize that I have purchased the app. Weird. The unlocked version lets you do things like launch it by double tapping on the Home button, which would be perfect.
I emailed the dev. hope he gets back to me soon.
Just an update that AppSwipe is in the Amazon market for the Kindle now. No need to sideload it.
Unfortunately you can't get long search or home button press events from the Fire buttons, so I have it set to launch on double tap of the home button.
I set the dock icons to be 140px which makes them about the same size as the icons on the home screen in the Fire launcher. Finger friendly.

works quite well now.
Device= Qmobile Noir A8, Dual core 1 Ghz with ICS 4.xx.
Problem= Launcher deleted.
Solution= Read below
_______________________________________
I deleted my build in Launcher's .apk from /system/app folder after installing another launcher.
After i deleted it some how the new launcher stopped (My task killer killed it i guess) and never came back.
Now i was with out a launcher and all i had was the small status bar on top of the screen.
I could access the settings though, but there was nothing their to help me.
The task killer was accessible from status bar and i added the new launcher to its white list but it didn't worked.
I had no ROM backups or any thing like that and almost bricked it.
Luckily i had rooted it just after a few days of usage.
So i googled to restore some launchers in my device.
I had found a few solutions but non were working for me.
I download the SDK and tried pushing files to it.
The device was rooted i could access the root but nothing was getting pushed with an error message.
Next I tried every thing else that i came across on the whole internet and hours and hours of searching.
In the mean while an SMS came and i could access it from status Bar.
That gave me an idea.
How.
1. I could receive SMS and reply to it once it appeared on the status bar.
2. So i compiled a text message from another phone and the message contained a link "w w w.g o o g l e.c o m.p k" and i sent it to my device.
3. when i received it on my phone i had a text message with a link, the link was active and after pressing it i had the option to use my browser or playstore. after choosing playstore i had access to every thing.
downloaded a launcher and saved the day....
May be if some one had similar problem then use this method to restore your launcher or some other system app.
hahahahha how simple
Mmmmmmmm or you could have just pressed the search button which would open up Google search and could have searched play store the app would have showed up and you could have clicked it

If you could get into settings, couldn't you have gone into the list of apps therin and either gone to the play store or the launcher itself? Did restating not just fix it?

The screen was empty and i had removed all the widgets from it already. There was no search option any where. Only thing i had was status bar and settings(through the status bar drop down menu.

I had deleted the launcher from the core /system/app folder through a root explorer. And how could it show up on apps when no .apk files.
How can u open play store from settings.
Restart was not the solution

Not with using unicorn. I know on nova u go into look and feel and it has the option there. May check in various settings. I k ow some icon packs are tailored for nova and adw and such. I do know the various uccw skins, u have to click on it in the all drawer after u install and click install on it then it becomes available to use

Is it just me or is the hotspot app icon missing from the apps tray? I did a factory reset and it still not there. I can start it from the settings menu but i would like a shortcut on the start screen at least. Any ideas?

1. Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it.
2. Click on settings.db
3. Click on system
4. Click on the search icon on top right
5. Type in the word notification in the Filter Value field and click ok
6. Once the results load up, tap on notification_panel_active_app_list (should be 3rd from the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit
7. In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot right after “Wifi”<-- just like that with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon. Once you add WiFiHotspot, click the save button.
8. Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone and verify

AT&T Messaging app in play store says it is not compatible with LG G3
I used to have this app in LG G which i replaced recently to G3.
I am ok with the stock messaging app, but it doesn't have a widget that would show me the unread messages count on home screen.
Any recommendation on how to install AT&T messaging app on the G3 or any other equivalent app with widget support?
Thanks
Do you still have your old phone? If so you can upload the apk to Dropbox and download it from there. Or save the apk to an SD card, etc. Also try a search for the apk online and try sideloading it. If you use Nova launcher you can install tesla unread plug in and it will show the modification count badge directly on the icon.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
Thank you, I will try it
