I know I've had some apps specifically tell me that if I have a shortcut to them on a home screen, I need to delete the old one and replace it after an update. Does that apply to all apps, or only those that specifically say the shortcut needs updating? A related question is why would ANY app require changing a shortcut? Unless an update moves the location of an app, what else could change? Necessary

I use my daytimer more so as a notebook than for planning my day. I use my outlook/android calendar to keep track of appointments. I mainly use my daytimer to keep track of things that occur during the day or things I need to remember for later that day. I also keep track of time I worked at a specific client so I have it when I go through later in the week and prepare invoices. So, is there an app that would work well for that? I am thinking some kind of journal program maybe.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else had the issue where when you launch ADW you can't access all the same widgets as you could without it? When I use ADW launcher I can't seem to access the Media & Web player widgets that I can normally access - those are the lovely little spinning pieces that display your pictures/wallpapers/music or your browser bookmarks. I'm on the Acer Liquid E - 2.1. Are there any decent programs to replace these two widgets or should I replace ADW? I'd like to keep ADW so I can have 7 screens without modding my phone. Or is there a replacement for ADW that will let me have more screens and access all my regular widgets?

Those stations will have no computing or storage or networking capabilities. They will only contain a keyboard, a mouse or touch pad, and a viewing monitor. They will simply receive input from the user and send it to the phone, and display or sound the output.Such docking stations will exist at home, school, work, airports and other public places.
View 49 Replies View RelatedIf you're like me, you find the new soft keyboard in Android 1.5 difficult to use and slow to type on. The keys are too small, the corrections suck, and the word predictions just aren't that great. It's nothing compared to the slick and intuitive keyboard on the iPhone.
Let's say there was a market app that replaces the keyboard with something much better. I'm talking something with high accuracy corrections and predictions, something that adapts to your typing style as you type, and has a fantastic UI for corrections and predictions. Let's say it increases your average typing speed by a factor of 2x.
Up to how much would you be willing to pay for the app?
I'm talking about something much better even than this, typing software, fast text entry - WordLogic Predictive Keyboard, which costs $24.95.
I have built my interface by using ViewStubs, which I inflate during onCreate.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an app to replace the "Car Home" program that automatically opens when the Motorola Droid is placed in the car dock? It is bad enough that this screen comes up everytime you dock the phone in the car, but it is even more annoying that the "home" button is hijacked so that anytime you press it from any other program it takes you back to the "Car Home" instead of the main home. I would love to have an App that would allow you to designate a different program to open when in the dock, such as Quick Dial.

I came across WebSMS (websmsdroid - Project Hosting on Google Code) and it integrates to fishtext (According to some reviews I read).
