I read that Android has something called Daydreams which is essentially the same thing but I read that Daydreams only goes on when the phone is docked/charging (and the only threads i could find discussing this are almost a year old)

Is there anything that's always on in place of a blank standby screen?

this is what i mean by Nokias Sleeping Screen

Might want to take a look at this @ 3:56

There are apps that you can get that will mimic this feature, but you want to be careful what kind of phones you use it on, can be a battery killer if you dont have an AMOLED screen.

Been using mixbit to combine a bunch of video clips that play seamlessly, up to 256 clips according to the details.
It's been a fun way to combine my kids hockey video clips to play as one video.

here's a video of an early beta version




I love the feature so am hopeful that I can find something exactly like it
I use Dynamic Notifications.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...enotifications

It only really works well on an OLED screen though - because it only needs to light those specific pixels - rather than the whole screen... Only downside - notifications like gmail/google hangout/facebook - that disappear automatically if you check them on another device - won't disappear with this app. I like it though.

Someone please recommend me a GOOD, SIMPLE TO USE file transfer program to transfer photos + video from my S3's storage to SD Card storage

I tried using Astro and ES File Explorer, but they're complicated as hell, and I can't even find the directories properly

Thanks in advance, MUCH APPRECIATED

I can but there are some file transfer problems, it's been really annoying.
When I select everything, it only transfers a small portion of the files, like about 20% of the files.

K9 is the best free alternative. Otherwise there's maildroid pro which is pretty expensive.

Would AirDroid work?

My phone doesn't have an SDcard, but it always does the trick for me whenever I'm transferring files from my PC to my phone.

How does Doubletwist compare to the standard Google Music app? I use Google Music to play music, but on my tablet I did install Doubletwist just so my Xbox could stream music from it. Never actually used the Doubletwist app itself.

Anyone using widget locker?

I can't figure out how to remove apps from the left bezel swipe. There is no dedicated option to remove either

I used it. It has potential I think, but I didn't like it much right away. I feel like it's something that requires some customization before it's actually useful. PM me your email if you like, I believe I still have some invites left.

New Question: Anyone know of any good apps for getting texts/whatsapp etc to popup or show on your lock screen so that you don't need to unlock the phone everytime?
