Nexus 7 Help / Re: Date in notification bar?
« on: May 20, 2013, 06:29:58 AM »
That explains why I couldn't find a setting for it.

Thank you very much.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: app groups
« on: May 19, 2013, 06:58:58 PM »
I've noticed the same thing when I was using nova launcher which I've been told is based on the stock browser. It was very frustrating when you like to use folders like I do. It is one of the reasons I decided to go back to Adw launcher EX. It doesn't happen for me in ADWLAUNCHER so I think it may be a problem with the launcher.

If it is happening for you with the 4.2.2 launcher or one based on it, install ADWLAUNCHER and see if the problem dissappears.

(I have no connection financial or otherwise with ADW) .

Nexus 7 Help / Date in notification bar?
« on: May 19, 2013, 01:09:44 PM »
Currently my notification bar shows on the right the Wifi icon, battery icon, and the time. On the left I have icons from the installed notification toggle app.

How do I make the notification bar show *both* date and time? Is there a built in android setting to do that?

Thanks prime.

What exactly is "exchange"? Is it any more private than Google's cloud?

I'm going to look into something called" ownCloud" which can be installed on your website if you have one or on a windows pc. Sort of like a private cloud. Not sure how well it works.

Third party apps are purchased from Google Play and have varying results. Each device has to be corrected directly to the PC to sync with Outlook.

Could you expand on this option? What do you consider the best apps for syncing via a home wlan? I've used MyPhoneExplorer and ES File Explorer. Both work fine but are manual syncs. Is there an app that would automatically sync with my pc whenever the nexus 7 connects to my wlan (like I think Google sync does)?

Thanks

Adw ex actually has many more features than nova. Features for icons, folders, transitions, etc. Also I'm finding bugs in nova that I find annoying.

(I have no connection with adw or its author. Just like the end product) .

Thank you. Yes I contacted the developer.

Just for the record, the problem is not with widgets but with shortcuts of bookmarks.

I was getting to like nova so I too hope he fixes it.

Fwiw, Apex (which I believe is also based on the stock launcher) does not have this problem. So it may be a bug in nova. I wrote to the author and he said he would look into it.

If anyone knows a way around it please let me know.

I just checked. The grid is 6 and 6. I don't think I changed it from the default.

When I added the Bookmarks they got added once to the stock launcher and once to adw even though in both cases nova was set as default.

Q: On the nova homescreen, long press/add bookmark only lets you add chrome bookmarks. Is there a way to make nova see other browser bookmarks?

Additional information:
Even though it says there's no more room, it adds the shortcut -  but to the stock launcher homescreen.

So, I. I'm going back to adw launcher on which I at least have the shortcuts set up.   :'(

I had read up on it before asking, so I already did that. I opened the stock launcher and removed all the shortcuts on all its pages. Problem persisted. So, I rebooted to clear the memory and then tried again after setting nova as the default launcher but the problem / bug persists. It keeps telling me I have no more room and unlike earlier episodes, it doesn't add the shortcut to the homescreen.

Hope there is a work around.

I'm playing around with Nova. I'm hitting a problem that maybe is not unique to this launcher.

I'm trying to add bookmarks I have in Boat Browser, I get the error saying "no more room on this homescreen". If I try to add the bookmark directly from the home screen I am given only the Bookmarks available in Chrome which is not where my bookmarks are. Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Nexus 7 Help / What is the tunnybrowser folder?
« on: May 12, 2013, 06:59:32 AM »
There is a folder in sdcard named tunnybrowser. Seems to be possibly connected with Dolphin browser.

If it is connected with Dolphin browser, the use of a different name makes me suspicious. I renamed it and Dolphin seems to work no differently.

What is tunnybrowser? Can I delete it?

Nexus 7 Help / Re: Macro capabilities?
« on: May 10, 2013, 11:19:42 AM »
I have not fully thought it through. I was thinking of things like a single click on a shortcut that would automate things like:

Open MyPhoneExplorer and sync my calendar to my laptop (or my private website) at regular intervals.

Open ES File Explorer and backup my android device to my laptop (or my private website) at regular intervals.

Etc.

I don't like syncing to the cloud or Google but would like to sync my devices via my own hosted website or laptop.
