Any good apps similar to f.lux?

Create reminders is the only thing I liked. I Uninstalled it after I realised that notifications do not clear from the lockscreen when you clear them from the notification centre.

Uninstalled

Agreed. Plus it seemed to hit a buggy moment where I couldn't unlock my screen for a call so I had to turn my phone on and off since it went and created multiple layers of lock screens, the last of which wouldn't swipe away.

Ouch.

Now I feel bad for suggesting it.

No problem. I see it is in alpha so issues like that are to be expected I suppose

Echo Notification Lockscreen

A couple of days ago had posts ACdisplay, as a notification system. Try this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doublelabs.androscreen.echo

Echo Lock Screen centers your notifications around you. Instead of browsing through dozens of unnecessary messages, Echo automatically filters your notifications and delivers the most important alerts straight to your lock screen.
★ Stay organized - Echo automatically groups your notifications to make them easier to scan. When you open your phone in the morning, your work, game, and social updates will be neatly separated.
★ Avoid interruptions - Echo learns from your behavior and identifies the notifications that are important to you. To help you avoid interruptions, Echo only wake your screen on a priority message.
★ Detailed view - Echo locker shows you more details on each notification. Unlike widgets like NiLs or DashClock, Echo lets you view and dismiss notifications individually.
★ Create reminders - You can receive notifications around your schedule by creating reminders. If you get a missed call alert from your mom when you’re at work, you can set a reminder to have the notification bounce back when you’re at home.


Just installed it, and is a beautiful lockscreen replacement. I especially like the 'Create reminders' function.

Thx for the heads up man. Was going to buy it in a couple of weeks for me and my wife's devices, and now got it for free

Agree about the online thing - it irritates me.

I've found Foxit to be quite useful (not sure about the forms). Where it beats Acrobat is that it has an eraser in the annotation tools. Hard to believe adobe overlooked that. Used ez pdf for quite a while, but it's gotten just too complex to use.

Chris Lacy, the developer of Link Bubble and Action Launcher, have just released his latest app.

It's called TapPath. It allows you to, when tapping a link in a app, to open a specific app based on 1, 2 or 3 apps.

e.g. Tap once, open LinkBubble. Tap twice, open Chrome. Tap Thrice, open generic share window.
