Hello Peoples of XDA Developers! Today I'll be sharing an APP that is definitely my most favorite one on Android...It is called Mango and it is an HD Manga Reader for on the go!
Mango provides many features such as My Library which allows a user to download specific chapters from any manga and basically save it on your phone for Offline Reading. It also has a Favorite section that allows a user to bookmark his/her favorite series and then get the latest updates just for the chosen ones. Another great part about this APP is the number of sources it provides such as Mangareader.net, Mangastream.com, Mangafox.com, Mangashare.com, MangAble.com and lastly AnimeA.com.
Those sources basically give you the most available series possible for a Manga App.
Here is the Dev's Page:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/
Here is the Market Version. It is called PocketManga:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ls.manga#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmxzLm1hbmdhIl0.
EDIT: PoketManga has been removed from the Android Market...Just like Mango's fate HOWEVER, Victor will still keep the updated versions on his website, so make sure to check it out!
Here is the free version's latest .apk:

I've used Mango for a LONG time
But now it has been pulled from the market in my region (Italy), so I had to manually download the apk from your website, but in this way automatic update does not work.

Hello Peoples! The Dev of the Mango Manga HD app is making a request for ALL users to switch to Mango v1.4. Only 26% have done so, so far. The reason being is that firstly...1.4 is BETTER, secondly the Dev has acquired a new server which will host the Manga queries BUT v1.3 runs on the previous server. So instead of paying for 2 running servers, he recommends EVERYONE to download the latest version and then you will be able to enjoy the most out of the app!
I'm from Germany, couldn't the developer add a German manga source? like meinmanga. de

Mango 1.4.140 (Renji) is now available. This version adds auto-download new chapters feature, data folder override, return of the zoom vibration, a few advanced options, changes to Bankai validation (separate app no longer required), tutorial skip option, a few Notifications fixes, Inverted Color Mode crash fix, and speed improvements in the Library Browser. Download it from:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/apk/140/Mango.apk
Nice to see this is still supported, even though it is off the market.
NEWS:
Quick Announcement guys! SInce Victor (The Dev) has placed Mango on the Market and Google removed it twice for no specific reason, he will be changing the name and try to post it on the Market again.
By a Poll, the new name is gonna PocketManga and the App icon will have "L" from Death Note.
Mango and PocketManga will be updated at the same time and gradually we will switch to the new name PocketManga only if Google does not remove it...
Anyways, hope everything goes well and then many more people will be able to enjoy this awesome app
Just got the new link:

Tinfoil hat here, I can ensure you this app is safe.
The dev has explained why he needs those permission in the official Mango profile on Facebook some months ago. It's just anonymous statistics that he uses for debug reasons. Anyway, you can opt-out with just a click if you don't feel sure.

Mango developer here, felt I should chime in.
Fair warning, this is a huge post, but I'll explain exactly what these permissions are used for, and how they are used.
The Read System Log permission is used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. As you use the app, Mango writes general diagnostic information about its performance to the Android system log. Later on, if the user goes to Send Feedback and selects "I'm having an issue", Mango will include diagnostic information from the log along with the user's message. I've found this to be invaluable when the user emails me stating "it doesnt work fix plz" and the diagnostic log shows that their SD card is full and Mango can't write anything to it. Most importantly, when the app force closes, a stack trace is written to the log pinpointing the exact line of code causing the FC.
A few things to note about the log data:
-It only ever leaves your phone when you use the Send Feedback function, compose a message, and send that message via your Email app (the diagnostic data is appended to the end of the email, you can view it before sending, or delete it if you don't wish for it to be sent)
-You can view the data at any time by going to Settings and Help >> Advanced Options >> Debug Log
-Only data that Mango has written to the log itself is ever read from the log. Though the system log is shared by all apps and the OS itself, Mango filters the log to only read data with the "MANGO" tag.
I am planning on implementing a custom logger soon so that Mango can read and write log data in it's own isolated log file, allowing me to remove the permission requirement.
Regarding the Read Phone State and Identity permission, this one is used to get the device UUID. The permission also allows the requesting app to view the phone number of an incoming call, which is why the header is "Phone Calls" in the Android permission warning screen. Mango has no reason to see or use that data, so it does not ever use the functionality, but it's a package deal included with the ability to use the getDeviceId API.
Unfortunately this one is required by the MobClix SDK used to display ads and is used by Mango to differentiate one device from another. Since there are no usernames/user accounts, but Mango uses an external server to do lots of the app's work, the server needs to be able to tell one device from another, and since IP addresses are often shared between many phones on a carrier, the server uses the device UUID instead.
It is important to note that the Mango Service does not associate your UUID with any reading history or favorites... that's kept on your device and never touches the server (though in the future, I might add an optional cloud sync feature). The only data associated with your UUID in the server's database are your Android version number, your phone's model number, your Mango version number, whether or not you've purchased the ad-free version, and the total number of times you've started the app. This lets me generate some basic stats about the app's usage, which you can view here:
http://mangoservice.leetsoft.net/stats.png
The UUID (rather, a hash of it, not the ID itself) is also used by the Flurry Analytics component which provides me with some more detailed (but still aggregated and anonymized) stats regarding app usage, such as how many users per week I see, what paths users most frequently take throughout the app, the number of favorites users have, and the Preferences they have enabled. For example, it lets me see that about 46% of Mango users have more than 20 favorites, about 14% of users check the "Left-to-Right Reading" option, and that only 8% of Mango users use the filtering option in the Favorites menu (clearly, it's something I need to promote more visibly in the next version, because it's an awesome feature and almost nobody is using it... :S ). I can't tell which options any individual user is using, since all of the data is aggregated and anonymized.
The user must opt-in to analytics... it is disabled by default and is only turned on if the user selects "Yes" to the "Enable Analytics?" option that appears when you first start the app. The user can also change this setting at any time from the Preferences menu.
/whew, I think that about covers it. Obviously there's no way for me to prove that what I've said above is true and it's completely up to you to believe me or not. But I write and maintain Mango as a hobby (though, thanks to the incredible response it's received, it's a hobby that's paying for my tuition!) and I really don't have any nefarious plot to use your data.
If you have any more questions, let me know. I don't check this thread super-frequently, but if you email me ([email protected]) I'll probably get back to you within 24 hours.
Also, thanks iasookia for making this thread!

The actual download speed simply depends on the network connection. I have been using Mango, and now PocketManga, since I got my Android Phone and haven't had any lags or slow downloads per se.
When I used my carrier's data, it would take about 3-4 min to download a chapter to the Library BUT at home, with WiFi, I get a chapter in like 40 seconds.
There is an issue however, if there are too many people on the same time, the server can't support the queries and then the downloads are slow...
Hey hey. Ever since getting a WiFi-only GT-P3113, I had been wanting to figure out a way to unlock the "phone" functionality in software. First, what do I mean? I know that this device does not physically have a "mobile" radio and so it'll NEVER work like a real cellular device. I know this.
I understand that you can't just magically make a WiFi only device into a 3G / 4G device by flashing it.
What I am after is making the normal Android phone-related stuff work, like making the Phone APK visible, making the normal dialer accessible, and enabling support for the "Headset" BlueTooth profile.
The native Android Phone.apk has support for SIP accounts built right into it, and even when you're using a 3rd party solution, the native dialer functions are just plain nice to have access to. I use GrooveIP myself, and it gets setup as the default dialer app, so basically all you gotta do to make calls is go to People, click on the # you want to call, and it works, just like a standard Android handset. Very nice and easy
The BT headset functionality is useful in apps like Skype.
I kinda inadvertently found out that all of this stuff gets "turned on" if you're using the ROM from a P3100.
I flashed one of those while testing out codeworkx's excellent CM10 ROMs, since the initial release was 3100-only.
You MUST modify the installer script to flash a 3100 ROM onto a 3113.
My purpose in posting is two-fold:
1-I couldn't find any threads really talking about this particular issue.
2-Are there any particular problems that could result in flashing the 3100 ROMs onto a 3113? Everything is working for me so far, and I can't think of any possible problems, but I figured I'd ask.
The only thing that was even remotely an "issue" for me was I had an always-empty "signal" icon on my notification bar. Since I'm running CM10 I just disabled the signal icon. This doesn't disable the WiFi icon, so its all good

Ummmmm. A few things. First, that application doesn't appear to be really related to my post at all.
Second, when I compare that app with Google Voice as a texting solution, I kinda feel like Google Voice is a much better way to go. To use Tablet Talk you pay $3 for the app, which you then have to have installed on a smartphone. The smart phone has to be up and running, and has to have SMS service on it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the phone is turned off, runs out of battery, or loses reception, then the whole system stops working.
Google Voice is free, and to use it on any Android device, you install the free Google Voice app and then use it. Since I don't even have a smartphone or any sort of SMS service, I don't appear to be able to use Tablet Talk. Actually at this point I don't even really use the normal GoogleVoice app, since I have GV hooked up to my GoogleTalk account via GV Max. Basically means I just "text" in Trillian, along with IMing. Its just more efficient that way.
How the hell would he know you don't have a smartphone?

Yeah...
Tablet talk works great, if you have a phone.
Info I could have used.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
He wouldn't, which is why I pointed it out as one of the many reasons I gave for why Tablet Talk is (I feel) an inferior solution when contrasted with Google Voice. At this point I have my SMS, AIM, MSN, and Facebook IM all coming in via GoogleTalk, so now I only have to worry about setting up one chat solution and I'm good. To that end I'm liking LilyPad, and hopefully will jump to that once it gets Group support. Until then, Trillian is my be all, end all comms solution.
I don't really know how that has anything to do with using the P3100 ROMs on the P3113 or phone functionality LOL
I found that there are a lot of different SIP solutions that'll work just fine with the native Android Phone.apk, which has a built in SIP client. I'm presently trying out a combination of sip2sip, IPKall, and GoogleVoice. I have been using GrooveIP but its one more thing to install & configure, so I'll see how this works with just "native" Android apps.
Does anyone know if there are any potential problems that this can cause? So far I haven't encountered any, just didn't wanna make my tablet explode or something
To be honest I think it can be enabled via build prop or something of the like. I found it when looking for mount info. Workin till 9ish ill take a look when I get home.

OP,
This can be done by decompling the framework-res.apk and modifying /res/values/bools.XML and set "voice capable" from false to true. Then recomplie your modified framework-res file and replace the one on the device.
You will then be able to see the phone app and the sip option.
You must know what you are doing and take a backup before you do this because if you mess up the file your device will not boot.

All of that is true, but by not having the phone screen on, and using tablet talk through bt, battery life is way better on my phone.
I guess it's different, if you are in another country where sms is more (included) in almost every data plan in the US.

I'll be looking into this
My first attempt at making this work is extremely ghetto but also works
The key reasons for doing this are to gain access to the Bluetooth "headset" profile, which I use to make my Motorola headphones also work for audio input (they have a mic on them). GrooveIP supports BlueTooth headsets, but under the standard P3113 stack the input isn't enabled...

}
And also to enable the normal Phone.apk, which gives you the native dialer and also makes it so you can "call" people by clicking on their numbers from the People app. If you don't have this you'll have to go to your third party app and then find who you wanna call, which is all around less efficient and integrated.
-EDIT-
This is what I get for posting from work, forgot to say what I actually DID! Thanks go to clubtech, who pointed out that the change is inside of framework-res.apk.
My solution was dirt simple: I found out about the trick in the first place because I flashed a P3100 ROM onto my P3113, cuz at that time there was no P3113 available.
This worked fine EXCEPT that the audio input isn't mapped right so your mic doesn't work.
My new "solution" was to steal the framework-res.apk file out of the latest 3100 CM10 ROM.
You can find the file inside the ROM @ <Root Of Zip>\system\framework
I used 7zip to pull the framework-res.apk from the 3100 7-29 zip, and then opened the 3113 7-29 zip in 7-zip, deleted the original framework-res.apk, and replaced it with the 3100 version.
The devices are close enough that this works.
The phone features are turned on and my mic still works.
There's surely a better way to do this, but it works for me for now
BTW, since the tablet ROMs don't include one, here's the "stock" Jellybean texting app, MMS.apk.
I pulled it from a Jellybean ROM for the Galaxy Nexus compiled 2 days ago.
Confirmed its working on my Tab.
I'm using the app GV Integration to make my GV texts show up like regular texts.
Why do this? Cuz it makes widgets and notifications and stuff that depends on the "native" SMS work as expected.
My main impetus for this was to make the XBMC controller app YATSE properly react to text messages
Just wanted to follow up on this, I found a relatively painless way to accomplish this mod.
Attached to a thread on XDA-Devs (where else!) is a really nice tool to make it very easy to n00bs like me to decompile and mod the framework-res.apk easily. This in turn makes enabling the "phone" stuff super easy
See the thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823701
The tool is called Framework Flasher 1.1.4 by Wes Foster (wesf90)
Hey Divinity,
It's great that you have shared what you achieved. I am about to buy this tablet.
Could you please make a step-by-step instruction of how to achieve this on the P3113 Tablet?
That would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so your instruction will be very helpful for me.
Thanks in advance.
Its hard to know what degree of "noob" you are.
To be messing around with making these sorts of modifications, you'll need to at least have rooted your device.
In lieu of that, be aware that there are lots of solutions that involve simply using apps from the marketplace. I actually don't even use this solution anymore, mostly just Google Voice. The Google Voice integration app I posted about doesn't really work the way I'd like, so instead I've been just piping "everything" through GoogleTalk instead.
There's a free web service called GV Max that lets you connect your Google Voice phone number up to your Google Talk account (among other things), allowing you to send / receive SMS messages within any GoogleTalk client. I frequently use this so I can text people from my computers very easily (since I pretty much always have a chat program running). I've been using GVMax off and on for a couple years now, and its pretty great
Occasionally I use Groove IP if I "have to" receive an incoming call on my tablet. Other than that, the stock Google Voice app allows you to make calls without it being a big deal.
All that said, the process of doing the mod is easy, and the thread I linked to contains a step-by-step guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823701

SmartMessenger
Aim : To be the most visually customisable, adaptive and secure SMS app there is. Oh and the best looking
Open Beta
There is now a play store listing for SmartMessenger without so anyone can try the beta and not have to join google+ Please note I still consider this a beta (but obviously open to anyone) so any suggestions or requests, comment in this thread. The G+ beta group (restricted) is still live and will get early versions.
The kind of input I'm after is from "you" the potential user:
Help me prioritise the development and order of features
Suggest corrections, amendments or additional features
Find and eliminate bugs
few random screenshots:
Features and Status
SMS messaging and emoticons
MSMS (Media\Link SMS)
This is also done and uses google drive to send full size images (as doc link) inside the sms. This to me is better than MMS that costs way too much here in the UK and has very silly limitations. Ability to send any type of file and maybe any size, connection allowing! The other individual if not using smart messenger will get a link, if they do use an app capable of resolving links, it will be presented in a icon form!
SmartMesseges SMS
This is a special type of message that will still be handled over sms, more info soon
More details shortly
Procedural UI generation
This is done and working, it's what the current themes use. Basically it builds android drawable resources at runtime. So no static xml or bitmaps. The advantage of this is not space, or speed for that matter. But it will allow me to implement a theme/visual creator that will allow users to create and mod any aspect of the visual UI
This also breaks from the norm. as I don't agree with lots of googles own guidelines, I want to be able to have 1 handed operation on my phone, thats why this app doesn't currently follow the actionbar pattern, well that an many other reasons
There is an online theme library currently of about 8 or 9, always up for suggestions
TO DO: Advanced in-app theme creator
Message Box Management
Can currently create message boxes and have them as targets/destinations for messages. Locking features are there, I'm just looking at the best ways to allow unlock/unhide while it's not apparent that anything is hidden
TO DO: Enable security and locking features, implement global unlocks
Filters and Rules
This allows creation of simple, but powerful rules to control anything from message box distribution, forwarding, autoreply, notification controls to even daisy chaining units together and having multiple units spider the messages. Also includes REGEX triggers too
Rules can be used to trigger custom reactions, notifications, LED colors, auto replies and forwarders etc
Schedules
As it stands you can schedule texts and have any time periods you want, and add ending conditions like amount or date/time
TO DO: Test and maybe add adaptive elements to it, such as a variable part that is populated based of some rule (like happy Xth brithday) and it fills in X
Notifications
The notifications are controllable per person via rules and filters, and can trigger and override all options with things like custom vibration patterns sounds popups etc
Secret Messagebox and Messages mode (Blind Security)

Honestly it looks amazing and I'd love to test it out. The one feature that is basically a necessity for me is available in textra in that the app automatically turns on the mobile data temporarily to get an MMS. It was a huge pain for me since I tend to have mobile data turned off because I have a limited data plan. If that was in this I'd easily replace textra with this.

NO MMS, not even sure I want them to be honest, slow, small and costly... better to use the GDrive link sms that are in SmartMessenger... but I'm more than open to consider it. This is still very early in development, so anything that is worth it, I will add for the masses
I understand that it can intercept SMS messages and be used as the default texting app, but does it work the same way with Google voice texts?

Not at all, ONLY SMS afaik
While in testing always better to set the op mode to "Process and Passthrough" anyways, so it doesn't consume any messages, if you're not sure that is

IIRC I wanted something similar, and also to do BAND switching. Unfortunately, google took out the api's required to do that, so that it would be ALWAYS a user choice. So not sure if that will ever be possible again (post gingerbread)

Actually thinking about it, DO NOT TRY SmartMessenger image sending, cause it will send (until I put some controls in) FULL SIZE images. So not nice when your phone takes 2-5mb image potentially and sends it for sharing to GDrive. I will add to the dev list, image size control See I never thought about limited data caps previously, what with my unlimited data plan

I've never had a dev convince me not to try an app haha but I absolutely appreciate the honesty and good points you brought up. I'll keep an eye out for your future work and pass this one on to my friends.

Well you have some valid points, I should never assume that data is all free and limitless But like I say, watch out for next few days, cause I will add some image limiting to the attachments, so maybe I will have size/dimension resampling, like resize to 8k or something Be nice for user to control the data flow, I can imagine you have to be VERY careful because of how apps abuse and use data these days

Stateside, there's only 2 networks that still have unlimited data and both have horrendous service so I'm stuck in a 2 gb plan. I subscribed to the thread so I'll definitely keep an eye on it and see what develops. Overall, watching the data isn't too bad since I just keep mobile data off and turn it on as needed but I still need to keep an eye out. Oh well, ces la vie.

Absolutely love this so far. One cosmetic thing is the spacing when you send a picture. The bubble is HUGE. needs to be slimmed down

Wow! What a great first impression. Gonna give this a go for a few days to test but man it does look awesome so far. Fantastic job, can't wait to see where you take this app.

Still kinda beta, have a few more features to add, but always open to requests suggestions
Looks awesome. Gonna put this under test. I might have found a replacement for EvolveSMS.

BTW more important to me is "if you decided not to use it" why that would be... and what can be done to change that etc.....

I'm not going to do that. Instead I deleted EvolveSMS and keeping this one. It's a keeper app. :good:
Here is somethings that I have already discovered and some opinions about it. Haven't even checked everything yet and going to keep up testing it thoroughly.
Multilingual support is a must for this app to gain popularity. I use it in English, but can't even recommend this app to my sister right now, unless it's getting a Finnish support. I suggest using a Crowding to make it hapen.
While editing conversation threads there are buttons to select all and deselect all. When I first opened app, I had no clue what these buttons were and kept hitting those until figured what those were. Maybe needs some clearer buttons. Of course it could be just me.
Mark votings active/ended (maybe green/red small text under question mark or color coded question marks). I now tried to vote and got an error "No UDD". Maybe changing it to something like "Voting of this has ended".
Directly call to contact from inbox by holding name and from popup choosing "call to sender".
Option to keep topbar visible.
In settings those activation/disable buttons are nice, but I always think those as levelers and keep trying to slide those.
While sending an SMS it would be nice if there was a tickle box for delivery report. Sometimes it is needed, but I don't wanna go through settings first to enable it and after that to disable it.
While in a sending SMS screen there is a possibility to type names and it works nicely, but sometimes it would be better to have a button to open contacts and then tickle everyone who You would like to message to be send. Sending a birthday invitation to everyone on my contact list takes a lot of typing.
Sorting inbox threads by name could be good, if there is a lot of contacts.
Resending a SMS by holding a message and then choosing resend.
There You go. Hopefully there was somethings that helped you to make this even better app. Myself I'm going to keep this app as my daily use message app.

Totally, just at the moment even the video tutorials on filters and the like are out of date due to how much I'm changing advancing the dam thing every day , when I think the structure and layout is final, along with wording then yeah...will deal with translations
While editing conversation threads there are buttons to select all and deselect all. When I first opened app, I had no clue what these buttons were and kept hitting those until figured what those were. Maybe needs some clearer buttons. Of course it could be just me.
Well, there is an interesting thing that I'm thinking of adding that kinda makes me hold off on this....as in mobile design I'm not happy with use of UI bars... the FAB idea is a little better but not good enough for me .... so one thing on the list is a new way to "control/edit" visuals/data (that will be optional) ... for now though you have bottom bar and log press (on an item) while in selection mode
Mark votings active/ended (maybe green/red small text under question mark or color coded question marks). I now tried to vote and got an error "No UDD". Maybe changing it to something like "Voting of this has ended".
UDD is experimental at the moment, I'm tweaking how it calculates and yes need to sort some of the messages out, it probably means you have not got a high enough score to vote....though it should say that
Directly call to contact from inbox by holding name and from popup choosing "call to sender".
Long press on the threads icon and you can call or view contact etc ... if thats what you mean
Option to keep topbar visible.
The most important thing in my design and consideration is to allow total control (or as much as possible) so yeah, this can be done in "UI Config" you can turn immersive mode off, and even still toggle to hide top bar so yeah, total contol
In settings those activation/disable buttons are nice, but I always think those as levelers and keep trying to slide those.
Well the same drawable view is used for sliders too
While sending an SMS it would be nice if there was a tickle box for delivery report. Sometimes it is needed, but I don't wanna go through settings first to enable it and after that to disable it.
you mean something that asks, do you want a delivery report ? Could be an option if thats what you mean.. . though I would have to say that the default would be no dialog asking, you would have to opt it on, any time you want a feature ... try the feature request here on xda or on my bug database... cause then it's more like an official request (also means I dont forget)
While in a sending SMS screen there is a possibility to type names and it works nicely, but sometimes it would be better to have a button to open contacts and then tickle everyone who You would like to message to be send. Sending a birthday invitation to everyone on my contact list takes a lot of typing.
100% agree and have been meaning to do this for....well.....(looks at watch)..3-5 months, just other things keep popping up in the priority list
Sorting inbox threads by name could be good, if there is a lot of contacts.
Yeah I plan to have a very comprehensive search system, so you can do selective backups too... but this wont be this month
Resending a SMS by holding a message and then choosing resend.
It should already do this on "failed" messages, if not let me know!! Cause it would be a bug
There You go. Hopefully there was somethings that helped you to make this even better app. Myself I'm going to keep this app as my daily use message app.

Thanks for all this and your time, hope that answers a few things for ya
I was using this in Beta for some time. Looks more polished and bug free now. Would check it out again soon! Great work.
3. How do You get more scores?
4. Tried that but it looks like it has to be a short press. It's there then.
5. Couldn't find a option to do that or is this still under development?
7. Where is the bug database? No I mean a text that says Delivery report [X]. Like this: http://i.imgur.com/1y43F3r.jpg
10. I don't know about failed messages, but sometimes I need to resend same message to same person, so best would be just hold it and click resend.
I also send an request to join G+ beta channel.

3. Well, thats being developed, it's a metric that calculates use and engagement, also are you premium user etc... basically a score that gives a good indication of your usage... so being new ...not high currently give it a few days...
4. oops, yeah short press
7. sorry, on the play store listing or http://www.deanwray.co.uk/bugs/
10. oh really, you mean if it was sent but never received ? huh, never really though of that... ok, just altered that, in there in next beta release

3. No just found your app. So there is a premium also available. Good to know.
10. Sometimes I need to send a text message to colleague like a "Car available" every day so it's a nice shortcut. Thanks.
Just joined to Beta app and registered to bugtracker. Also I posted details of your app to local android related finnish forums. Might get few more users. :victory:
nice app

well just put out a new release with changes... available now from repo or in a few hours from play... fixed sched and added option to resend, though oddly not tested it
Looks great. Scheduling options as well as pushbullet support are a deal breaker though. Add this and it will be right up there with Textra and EvolveSMS

what do you mean scheduling ? I think it has one of the most advanced shced systems there is, it's easy yet advanced conditional scheduling ? Or do you mean something else ?
RE : Pushbullet I did ask all current users of SM if they wanted this in a UDD within the app, they said either no or not bothered... if you would like it and have the influence you can vote in the UDD panel
hmmm UDD is User Driven Development btw
Request
Would appreciate anyone on T-Mobile U.S. testing the new send method in mms (need to be in advanced mode) and reporting back...thanks
I have many sms without country codes and the app automatically adds the current country code where I am now. But, not all sms end up having correct codes.
Is there a way not to add country codes automatically?
Also,
Messages received from service providers and others with a name not a number appear as ERROR.
I was curious what the killer, must install apps are for everyone. I am not talking about Facebook, Instagram, or system apps that allow for rooting or managing space, but the Apps that make your life on your device much more enjoyable.
I will share mine:
1- Go Launcher. I love this System. Highly customizable and easily usable.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- 1 Tap Quick Bar. This adds a quick launch bar at the bottom of the pull-down menu. Available anywhere you are in Android. I keep stuff like my Camera, a Calculator, a shopping list app, etc there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.onetap
3- Power Line. This simple app provides very light lines that indicate the various systems on your phone. I only use the power line, but there are a lot to choose from. Nice that it is always there, to see instantly what your levels are.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.inline
4- Link Bubble. A handy app that provides a quick way of opening links without leaving the app you are already in.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linkbubble.license.playstore
5- Launch X. A great way of organizing app on your home screens. I use it in scrolling. Saves a lot of Home page space.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.yuvalsharon.android.launchx.free
Well that is it for now. These are the basic apps that I always use to make life more enjoyable and convenient in my various Android devices. How about you? What do you use and have to install?

Interesting.
I'm surprised to be saying this but Microsoft's Arrow launcher is a treat on the Note 5. Looks classy on the large screen and its focus on usage patterns works quite well for me.

Swiftkey is a MUST!
I came from Blackberry originally, and I got spoiled by the awesome word prediction and learning autocorrect. When I got my first Droid 2, I missed the smarter typing and I searched for a replacement. I bought SwiftKey when it was premium and never looked back. Through a Droid 3, RAZR HD, and now Note 5, it has learned how I type and saved me lots of embarrassment. And since I went premium back in the day, I get no ads. Ever.
If you're a family guy like me, Cozi Family Scheduler is also a must. With 2 teenagers, both spouses working, and all sorts of things to coordinate, Cozi makes it easy for all of us to stay on the same page without trying to flip through shared Google calendars. The widgets are useful on Note 5, but the typeface is very small on widgets.
In Australia currently the nova prime is only 20c I think it's best bargain app. Definitely worth it...been using it to replace touch wiz.

I hear good things about SwiftKey. I tried it a few months ago, and never really got a good feel for it myself.

My brother uses and swears by Nova.
One of the reasons I prefer Android over iOS is the way that you can highly customize your phone/tablet to your desires.
Now I know this one also require the hardware...but I do recommend getting one.
I just got my gear vr...and it's really cool. My kids love them. There are a lot of free download too just like in playstore.

There are all kinds of Widgets available for these
Tasker. I freaking love this app. It automates almost everything on my phone:
-Silences my ringer and notification volume when I set the phone face down.
-When I receive a text, my TTS engine says "Sir, you have received a message from %sender" and if the contact isn't stored in my contact list, it replaces the %sender variable with "an unknown person"
-When I leave the house, it turns off my wifi, turns my ringtone and notification volume up, and turns Bluetooth on, but if Bluetooth doesn't connect in 7 minutes, it turns back off again
-When I get to work, it sets my phone on silent and texts my wife one of 5 random messages letting her know I'm at work
-When I get back home, it turns wifi back on and connects, speaks "welcome home, sir" and turns my notification and ringtone volume down a bit
-In the morning when I dismiss my alarm, it speaks one of 3 random "good morning" messages, and then proceeds to read off the weather for the day, tells me how many appointments I have, what they are, and when.
-When I plug headphones in, it displays a popup menu of apps that I use with my headphones (Pandora, youtube, any of my emulators)
-Controls my GPS so that it's only on when I need it, like navigating with Google maps or taking location-tagged photos, and then turns it back off when I'm done
-Reboots my phone once a week to keep the OS fresh.
There is literally nothing you can't do with this app and its plugins. I recommend it for everyone. Super steep learning curve, but there are tons of tutorials on line. 10000% worth the $3 it costs.
easyHome by @Jawomo
With easyHome you don't have to press your homebutton anymore! Just touch it slightly like on screen navigation buttons!!
Experience your Galaxy in a completely new way!
No clicking noise, no hard pressing! Easy, intuitive yet awesome!
Extend the homebutton functionality if you like and lock your phone with a touch!

Snap. Access widgets by pulling down right side of screen. It's scrollable and cleans up your screens

That was the idea lol. The nerd in me went and found the TTS engine that sounded the most like Iron Man's Jarvis, William from CereProc, and every time I program a speak action, I try and imagine how Jarvis would say it. I wanted my phone to be as much like a personal assistant as I could make it.
I also plan on creating a task so that, when I'm in the car and I receive a text, Jarvis will tell me that a text was received and ask if I want him to read it to me. If I reply "yes" he'll read the message then ask if I want to respond but if I reply "no" he'll ask if I want to be reminded of the text when I'm not driving. If I reply "yes" to responding, He'll listen for me to speak the message and then send it. If I reply "yes" to the reminder, when I get out of the car, he'll say "Sir, you still have # unread text message(s)"
I also want to do something similar with calls.
All you need is Tasker, AutoVoice and maybe AutoInput and AutoNotification.
