ADWLauncher Crashed

Had to go back to my stock launcher because ADWLauncher was causing problems, crashing apps, slowing the tablet down. So I will just have to wait till Go Launcher HD gets themes before I use it.

Blogger App: Android vs. iOS

I have used the Blogger App for both Android and iOS and I have to say that I prefer the Android App.

Android App

Pros:

• Has formatting abilities
• Has a cleaner look
• Easy to navigate between posting, blogs, and the entire app
• Has a close look and feel to Blogger.com
• Has a good spell checker

Cons:

• Formatting abilities are very limited
• Adding links are a little difficult right now
• When adding Labels you have to remember them and type them in (instead of having them either popup while typing or have a list)
• Many settings are not so easy to find
• No way to edit timestamps

iOS App

Pros:

• Easy to use
• Settings are easy to find
• Uses the Apple keyboard for spell checking and auto correction

Cons:

• No formatting
• When editing published post they come up as HTML format and not in the WYSIWYG format
• Does not have the Blogger.com look
• No way to edit timestamps

Pimped out Transformer Pad

I installed ADW Launcher on my Transformer Pad and added some customization to it. (I chose ADW Launcher only because Go Launcher HD does not have any transitions or the ability to use themes) I chose Suave adw/lp Theme and used some custom icons from findicons.com

Ubuntu on a Android Tablet

Watch "Run Ubuntu on your Android Tablet" on YouTube

I might try this if I get fed up with Google Play and want to remove Android... too bad it will not wipe my Android :(

iPod is Jailbroken Again...

I decided to jailbreak my iPod again (for the 5th time). This is due to the fact that my iPod will not be getting the iOS 6 update this fall :( So since there will be no more updates and I will not need to rejailbreak every time I update to get new  features on my iPod, which is why I stopped jailbreaking it. I found some really neat themes and apps in Cydia to make my iPod look and work really great! Here are some screenshots:

Transformer Pad Update

I have been playing around with my Asus Transformer Pad T300 for little over a month now, and I still like it a lot. I really like how I can connect to my PC Desktop and remotely control my PC free. I thought that I would have to buy an app called PocketCloud but since my Transformer comes with an app that does it for me for free, I don't have to worry. Plus I really did not like PocketCloud anyways. So far the speed of the Transformer has been really fast... even using high performance apps are no problem. I had one bug on my transformer pad but ASUS patched the bug the day after I posted it on my blog. So it seems that ASUS will be on top of patching bugs.

I also really like the Cloud features that allow me not only store data on an online "drive" but also back up my app data. At first I only had 2GB but I saw a promotion for MyBitCast App, where if I downloaded the app and used it I would get more storage for free. I ended up with 9GB! So between Asus Webstorage, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box, I have about 15GB of storage.... And to top it all off it is really good that I will be able to upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to JellyBean. It looks like it's just a matter of when (week, month, year?) not if. Hopefully the upgrade is not just a bunch of hype or a way to lock down the OS like Apple does on many of its updates to their iOS.

So far I have only found one Negative but it has nothing to do with ASUS but rather Google, Google Play Store to be specific. What a piece of garbage Google Play is turning out to be. All I have to say is watch out what you download because Google keeps records of every app you install and there is NO way to deleting the history of unwanted apps, even if you downloaded, installed, then deleted after finding out the app is junk. On top of that I also cannot delete old devices (ie devices that I either sold/stopped working/no longer use). I just hope Google is not going to use this "history" to then suggest that you download paid apps, because you will get a lot of useless app suggestions from all those junk apps that you have in your "history". If this happens without a way to delete junk apps from your history I will probably turn away from Android and go with Apple... also will wipe my Transformer's Android OS and install Debian. On top of that I will close all my Google accounts (Gmail, Drive, Play, etc) We will just have to wait and see what happens.
