[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44603126]I found it goes faster than hangouts and it handles tabs better, give it a go yourself One benefit also is that the number of who you're sending text to isn't displayed, I fucking don't know why other sms apps have that, it is pointless and annoying[/QUOTE] It's for if you have more than one number for that contact.

The one where it opens a conversation with all your contacts with a link to the app and asks to send it.
Yeah, I think so. I haven't used Hello in several months, though.

The one where it opens a conversation with all your contacts with a link to the app and asks to send it.[/QUOTE] I have one number for every contact and I still see a number, it just makes it super inconvenient if I screenshot something and pass it onto someone else without either cropping it or censoring the number And I've never encountered that, all they do now is have a prompt saying "Review us on Google Play please!" and a small invite button on the corner
Yeah, I agree, they could do it differently, like only show the type of number (and if there's multiple of the same type, show the number), or only show the number if there's multiple.
Honestly every SMS app should have an option to hide the number, but hello is fast and reliable, just that I have a weird bug on it which incoming MMS's start new threads
What text input do fellow nexus 7 or tablet owners prefer? Using SwiftKey atm but find it a bit annoying especially with flow accuracy. Google Keyboard had similar annoyances. Worth getting a bluetooth keyboard?
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;44599931]what phone? also to fix camera [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera[/url][/QUOTE] HTC One S The google camera app has way less options than the standard app and I dont like how the camera button takes up 20% of the screen.
so assuming I'll be getting the Nexus 5, what would the best screen protector for it be? One of the Spigen Glas whatevers? I see that the accessory choice for the N5 is miles better than for the N4, slowly getting lost in it.

In the new version you see the full picture, but you get more empty space [editline]21st April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=iCole;44604501]so assuming I'll be getting the Nexus 5, what would the best screen protector for it be?

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44603126]One benefit also is that the number of who you're sending text to isn't displayed, I fucking don't know why other sms apps have that, it is pointless and annoying[/QUOTE] I actually really like that feature in Hangouts. Several times people have asked me for someone's phone number and I can just open Hangouts real quick instead of trying to find my Contacts app and scrolling for a name.
Someone here recommended evolvesms a while back, still using it now, it's pretty great and user friendly, and the Klinker crew are pretty friendly guys ;)

[QUOTE=a-k-t-w;44602948]is it just me or are a bunch of settings missing from the new google camera app.[/QUOTE] I hate how it does the exposure based on where you tap to focus.

[QUOTE=a-k-t-w;44602948]is it just me or are a bunch of settings missing from the new google camera app.[/QUOTE] Worse for me is that I'll tap the camera button and sometimes it'll just gray out the button and not take a photo. The camera preview is still working in the background.

Screenprotectorless master race. Haven't scratched/cracked a screen since my iPod Nano 2nd Gen. I've never understood that problem.
Took the scratched to hell screen protector off of my phone. Almost lasted a year. Been a week and the screen is still flawless. Probably gonna keep it like this.
[QUOTE=garychencool;44606185]Here I am with my cheap film screen protectors I got off eBay.[/QUOTE] you put that shit on thE NEXUS 5?

My ipod managed to get scratched to shit in my pockets, not taking that chance with my phone Besides, if you put the screen protector on properly and you don't get a super shitty one, you can't even tell it's on
I've been using my ipod for like 3 years and there are 0 scratches on the screen. The back is fucked though.
Would a factory reset through CWM remove Gapps? If not and I wanted a completely fresh install of CM 11 and Gapps what would I have to do?
