I have been doing a little clean up and disabling apps that I do not use
(Yahoo Finance, Game Hub etc). Is there an easy way to find out what
the apps do so I can make sure i am not disabling something that I need?
Thank you
Moved to Q&A section....place all questions in the proper sections.
Thanks

Hello, don't know if i can actually post this if not please remove.
i would need a little help getting my hands on 3 apps which are only found on the android market (or google play). as my device is not supported by the market (hp zeen) i can not access it. so i would like to ask someone with access and a rooted phone or tab if they could download these apps for me these are free apps and don't need to be paid for. the apps i am talking are for the belgian public transport and road information, they are:
Railtime
STIB
TOURING
if someone could download these apps and then make a backup and maybe post them here?
it would really help me out a lot
thanks in advance and sorry if this is not a post according to the guidelines

Please recommend (any) Android tools for "logging" each site I visit — my browsing history, in other words — and storing/exporting/forwarding/saving the activity somewhere accessible to me that doesn't involve rooting my Tablet?
I'm dismayed at how difficult it's been to isolate this one utility on Google Play . . . without unleashing widgets for history buffs!
Thoughts? I do not want to root my tablet!! Cloud? Something else?
Thanks guys.

Hi there!
I know Dolphin has this feature built in, as I suspect other browser's do as well.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your question?
In Dolphin, you swipe the screen from left to right, choose history and you can export it, or send to cloud. You need an account, as it asks me to sign in.....but I have not made one.
If you require more help, you will need to post your question here....

Good luck!
Does anyone have any good suggestions for widgets that make good small apps? If I can't disable it I may as well find some decent uses for it!
Authy is an excellent one for me!
When I know an app requires two factor authentication codes I just load up authy prior to logging in, then login and hit the copy to clipboard button right off the small app!
Please ask questions in the Q&A section
Thread moved
What is rooting as opposed to flashing as opposed to unlocking the bootloader, what is the ROM vs recovery?
How do exposed and gravity box fit in?
When and why would you want to do these things and how do they relate to each other?
Why are they (and which ones are) required just to do a full backup of my device?
How should I back up if I want all my configuration tweaking and settings to migrate but not the apps data?
How should I back up if I want to restore to a similar model device as opposed to the exact same one? What if they are running different versions of Android?
How should I back up if I just want all my apps and their data on a completely different model device?
How can I sync settings, apps & data between multiple devices whenever on wifi, without requiring user intervention - automatically, constantly and in the background?
Thanks in advance. . .
Hi,
Most of your questions are covered in this Android Dictionary from XDA,
http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/android-dictionary
You can click the colored words for more info.
That is a general overview.
As far as more details go, I can only suggest searching xda, or Google (adding the word "xda" to your search words) for more on your questions.
Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support or discussions. Unfortunately you've asked a "tell me all" type question... And that's a little more than we go into here.
If you need help finding your device section, let me know your device make and model number and I'll point you towards it.... There you can read more or ask further questions.
But really, if you're completely new to this stuff.... Spend some time researching all this before doing anything. And things will start to make sense. ?
Good luck!
Hello, I have installed a custom ROM (6.0.1 w/ root access, etc) on my Android TV device (Google ADT-1) and I have some general Android questions (I think they are general questions) about adding some specific apps, as well as customizing the view on my TV. Here are my questions:
- Can anyone recommend a task killer app? I'm looking for something simple that just closes all of the open apps. Basically an app that once I click on the icon, it just closes all of the open apps (I don't need it to do anything fancy like closing system apps, etc).
- Can anyone recommend a reboot app? I'm looking for an app that once you click on it, it will ask you if you want to reboot, power down, etc. Simple and easy again is all I need.
- For the next one, I'm not sure of the correct wording, but I'm looking for something that will allow me to resize (make smaller) the Android viewing screen on my TV. If you look at the attached photo of my TV, you can see that when viewing something simple like the clock settings, you can see that it is cropped. Is there an app, or setting in Android that I can make the viewing area smaller?
- Lastly, is there are way to add a app 'shortcut' an desktop? Currently, if I want to open an app (speedtest, vpn app, etc), I need to go into the 'App Drawer' to open any of the mentioned apps - is there a way to create a 'shortcut' to add to the 'desktop' (again, I'm sure this is the incorrect wording).
Sorry for asking so many questions on one thread.

I don't have the Chromecast but, the following area of the forum is specific to this device.

With that stated...
Your best bet is to post this question within the following thread.

Ibuprophen - thank you for you reply. I 'think' most of my requests for apps are general Android ones. I don't think they need to be specific to Chromecast, Android TV, etc. That being said, I will definitely keep the link and thread in mind for my questions.
