Hello, has anyone seen an TTS app that runs in the background, where you can long press or open a menu option to speak whatever is on your screen. Would also like one that will read all my gReader feeds, one after another. The only thing I have been able to find is PDF or cut and past. Maybe I'm being too wishful.

Any way to disable adding the http to the url/search box in the browser? It's pretty annoying having to delete it each time I want to do a Google search. The Nexus One doesn't automatically add it and I like that a lot better. Thanks.

Hit the physical search button at the bottom takes you to a search only box. That is how I got around it at the store hope that helps

Just a quick notes app that i can easily put reminders and stuffs in. Better if it can be synced somewhere.
Maybe Evernote?
I use Catch Notes.... have the widget on my home screen..... comes in super handy....

Catch Notes for me.
Mobisle Notes is the best notepad IMO. Try it out, free in the market.
I use the one preinstaled on my Fascinate.
Note Everything.
Tons of options, yet still simple. Great widgets, post-its, shortcuts.

I like Evernote because I can sync/manage my notes on both phones, the iPad, and online.

I was an evernote fan on my desktop long before I got an android, and the android app for it is very nice as well.

Another vote for Catch notes (or AK Notepad same dev, but different UI - only text notes vs image/voice/text notes in Catch) which supports syncing to catch.com.
I use the very simple Epistle which is really great with it's dropbox sync
Mobilism notes, because:
- i can use checkboxes (with reminders)
- I can use indents or subnotes
- put notes on the homescreen as widgets (even edit checkboxes from the homescreen)
- automatically sync with google docs (so i can edit the notes on my computer in google docs).
Another good app that I use is: "QuickNote Notepad Notes"
AK notepad looks good. might try it out.
There's a built in text editor in explorer and root explorer. I used to use other apps but those can serve two functions so why not use it? I don't need anything fancy.
i dont really need one but i use jorte because it was the first one i saw and i think it syncs with this calendar im bout to start using
I use ColorNote, been using since. I got my android phone a few years back now. It backs up messages easy to work with and has a few nice features and its free. Check it out

Hi All,
I've been quite closely following Alterbridge and his Overcome GB custom rom, and since i travel around alot, its been so worth my while following it through the XDA app.
The app itself is clean, no extra fuss, and gives exactly what you ask for. What i'm driving at here is, do you feel its missing anything? Maybe we can get the developer to join us and see if they like our ideas and possibly add them to the app.
i'll go first - i think the option to THANK someone in the forums, if they helped you in any way could possibly be added to the menu (for me in android, its long-pressing menu drop-down on a specific post )
The app itself is VERY similar to Tapatalk but its missing one of my must-have features. I would love there to be a "dark" theme that uses white text and a black background instead of black text and a white background. Just something to think about.
xda app
i still can't figure out how to post with it
Search function, being able to see the smileys instead of text wrapped in colons, ability to re-arrange the order of the favorites list, and the ability to attach files other than images.
I use the XDA app alot, probably more than I visit XDA on my PC, so I guess the little things that the tapatalk app don't do tend to bug me a little after awhile lol.

There is an option to use different themes. Press menu/more/settings/display style. And you want the simple theme.

I want to be able to use a gesture / shortuct to be able to paste a remembered phrase or sentence. Does this exist?
I'm using CM9 and the stock messaging app I'm using has the feature. If i go in the app, and go to setting s, it's at the bottom under sms template. It will allow me to make a gesture path and attach whatever phrase or sentence i want by making the gesture on top of the messages. For instance i use an 'L' gesture to send my wife a quick 'i love you'. Hope that helps!

I wanna be able to use this in emails though too and forums.
As far as my knowledge goes, that's the only thing I've found that does that. At least that is one thing you can use it for! :-D

Not exactly... but Clip Ninja (paid -- around $1.45) is a sort of Textarea Cache/Lazarus for Android. Anything you've typed (except passwords) is saved for 7 days by default. You can star stuff to keep it. Then you can paste it into anything. Not via gestures though, but the app resides in your notifications, so you can get to it easy enough.
Multi Ling keyboard from the play store has an add-on called auto-text, where e.g. BB automatically inserts be right back. And you can define your own abbreviations and texts/phrases. But you'll have to use the keyboard in order to get it working.

SwiftKey keyboard has this.. Kinda..
It learns your speech patterns and then suggests the most common words you typically use...
I'm my text message app before I type anything it offer "hey" then the choice of "dude" or "love". As I usually start texts like this to my buds or my wife.
I can send texts without "typing" a single word... It also works in a lot of other apps like xda premium

Ok guys I've looked everywhere but found nothing. I am looking for an app that simply sorts home screens apps in some order. I don't want one that makes folders. I want to just be able to use the app to sort every now and then and just close it afterwards. Thanks

I am confused I guess. I don't understand exactly what you are looking for. You want an app to organize your apps on your home screen? Can't you just just organize them how you want them on your home screen? Maybe I don't understand exactly what you are looking for.

Action Launcher gives an alphabetical list similar to windows phone.
If I understand correctly, you want an equivelant to the windows shortcut for "sort by name/type/date modified" for your homescreen, or for your appdrawer.
I echo the thoughts of others in asking why. It's not like your homescreen can accumulate dozens of apps the same way a desktop can pick up dozens of shortcuts, or that they are difficult to get rid of or sort yourself. Folders work fine... also, there are widgets such as Glovebox and CircleLauncher which will allow you to create live groups of self-hiding icons.
but Android is an open OS, so the simple answer is, if there's something you want that doesn't exist, just build it yourself. this, however, seems to be something that would be at the launcher level, not the level of a widget or app.
Exactly. But for people like me who hate using app drawer I think there should be some kind of stock setting
