[QUOTE=K1ngo64;44504562]Team Blackout already made a dark Hangouts app which is up to date and good, check it out. But please, do FB.[/QUOTE] Honestly the FB app is so bad in so many ways that a Holo reskin won't be enough to fix it for me.

I understand that it's as black as possible to lower screen battery usage on AMOLED devices, but it's hideous. Makes me glad to have a phone with an IPS display.

But I recommend actually giving it a go before passing judgement, especially if you have OLED.

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;44501348]I'd ask you to do my bank's app but it's basically just a shell for their webapp, it's really annoying...[/QUOTE] My bank app is beautifully holo yolo, I love it so much.
The app of my bank could use some slight tweaks, lose the gradients etc, but they have the holoyolo pull to refresh, a proper navigational drawer (although the hamburger menu icon is wrong, gotta email them about that), [I]no gingerbread elements throughout the entire app*[/I] and a bunch of cool features (like an augmented reality bank lookup). Sadly, it's the only bank app in this country that doesn't look like shit. [URL]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.airbank.android[/URL] (is it bad that a decent Android app was one of my big reasons to switch banks? :v: ) * Feels bad that I have to point this out as a highlight.
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;44503050]So my Nexus 5 came in (Yay!) and it's been great so far. Only thing is I'm trying to remove all the pre-loaded music junk and can't figure it out[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=LordCrypto;44503313] it's a system app there's no getting rid of it[/QUOTE] You can just disable it, I did it with all the Play books / magazines / movies crap [vid]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10437436/videos/SCR_20140410_224617_1.webm[/vid]

The best UK one is probably Barclays. I'm stuck using Halifax might switch to Barclays just for a better mobile experience.

Oh god what: Barclays Mobile Banking app PLEASE NOTE: This app does not work on rooted handsets
y-you rooted your phone? are you a hacker?
[QUOTE=Chains!;44507406]Oh god what: Barclays Mobile Banking app PLEASE NOTE: This app does not work on rooted handsets[/QUOTE] there is something that can tell the app you didn't root your device
Anyone else had the problem with the nexus letters falling off the back for their N5? Can I get more to put on or anything? It looks ugly without them.

Bit of a waste of money imo. [editline]10th April 2014[/editline] The only thing wrong with my ING app is that for some reason the login page is forced portrait, but every single other thing in the app has a pretty landscape layout as well as a portrait layout.

[QUOTE=zerosix;44507461]Anyone else had the problem with the nexus letters falling off the back for their N5? Can I get more to put on or anything?

Try taking them all out as well as the backing bit leaving just the plastic in the spaces of the letters, it's the only way to make it look nice again. The only other way is to buy a whole new back cover.

[QUOTE=mobrockers;44507528]I don't get why ING has different apps for every country, made by a different contractor. Bit of a waste of money imo.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure most global companies (banks, carriers) etc do this.
[QUOTE=kaze4159;44507492]I didn't know they even could come out, which just gave me a cool idea Get replacement letters laser cut from different coloured plastics and glue them in[/QUOTE] might as well 3D print that shit

I would much rather spend some money on a case rather than have an accident and replace the screen that can cost way more than the case itself.
I got one of Spigen's Ultra Crystal screen protectors The name isn't lying, you can't see it unless you look real closely at the edges Only downside is it isn't Oleophobic
If you're getting a N5, use a case. The back gets scratched and stained very easily and the letters will fall off otherwise.
