Ultimate Call Screen Adds Full-Screen Contact Photos, Extra Call Options to Android

"pure" ICS without a proprietary skin glommed on top of it...) was set up all my contacts for my phone (in other words, not including anyone I would never call) in Google Contacts, because this means, as long as I stick with Android, I will never have to build a contact list (of not only phone numbers but the photos, websites and e-mails that go with each contact) from scratch again when I switch phones... It also means that I can do all my updating of contacts on a nice big screen, not pecking around on my phone's little screen, and it's automatically sync'd to the phone.

The downside? The way that ICS translates your Google Contacts photos to the phone SUCKS...even if you use the highest resolution photo that Contacts will allow (which is in fact not very high!) , it renders the photos in a really, really ugly, low-res version on the phone.

I jumped on it because of its all-in-one nature, and pretty much 5-star reviews and XDA recommendations. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than TiBU & Clockwork Rom Manager (I have both and use / love them extensively), but for that price I'm willing to find out! Off the bat, the advantages I can see that TiBU has over this is that you can schedule backups. I backup new/changed apps daily, and do a full backup (apps & data) on Sunday. I couldn't find a way to schedule backups in RTP. Also, TiBU can auto-sync backups to Dropbox after any Batch action or on-demand. So far the free version seems to compare quite nicely, the one feature I miss from Rom Manager is rebooting directly to boot manager (custom recovery, 2nd init, or whatever the actual name is) without the blue led "quicktime event"

1Weather Is the Most Attractive, Feature-Packed Android Weather App We’ve Ever Seen

I've only been running it for a couple of days, but it's been on the money with the local conditions, updating regularly. Strange. I think there are 2 possible explanations. It's possible it wasn't refreshing, despite telling me it was. Or perhaps it was pulling weather data from Chicago O'Hare (which is, I think, the "official" weather station for the city) despite the fact that O'Hare is inland and 15 miles away from where I was on the lakefront.

For my purposes, a weather app that gives me O'Hare data when I'm no where nearby O'Hare is worthless. Yeah, that's a good point, but you can type in specific locations, just like any other weather app, to choose a weather station closer to you. De 10 Apps: De bedste nye spil.
