which one has the camera shortcut??? | I'm using a paid version of Magiclocker with a paid theme.
I think its called Android4 pro or something, but basically its similar to the stock ICS lockscreen on the Gnex, but it allows for 2 extra shortcuts.
Honestly the best few dollars I've spent on apps

face lock is such a gimmick
it won't recognize me when i dont wear my glasses...they should let you take a few pics as reference images...ie. one with glasses..one without glasses...one when i'm holding the phone in landscape mode.
any suggestions for good HD video player that supports most common codecs? I wanna make the most out of the 720p screen

Shit... if I take a picture for face unlock with my goatee... and then shave said goatee off in a few weeks... I'm going to be screwed for face unlock!
Currently patiently waiting confirmation that my phone's shipping out.

From my experience with face unlock, it's not THAT sensitive. It can figure out my face with or without glasses on. It definitely doesn't work if you turn your phone landscape though at the lockscreen.
Overall, I find it annoying and don't use it.
Is there a way to delay the onset of the pattern/pin/face unlock instead of having it activate EVERY time you turn your phone off?

Plays pretty much all of the files i threw at it, and has a lot more features than stock video player. The new update for ics makes full use of the 720p screen as well by hiding the soft keys in landscape.

And if you're rooted you can install ad block so you no longer see the ads either.

Yeah root just basically gives you full access to the file system. It's not necessary really and MX Player works just fine even with the ads since they're fairly unobtrusive.

the only time I saw ads was when i paused a video - so really the ads aren't a big deal.
on another note, for those who flashed a custom rom - which one are you using?
I'm using Android Revolution HD 2.1.3

tried mx player..worked with mkv file but some times had low frame rate...i have 2d acceleration forced on so i dont know if that was affecting it
also noticed watching an hour of HD video 45% brightness drained by battery by 50% and the phone gets quite warm...guess it's time to use juice defender.
suggestions for anti-theft/tracking app?

There are some nice built in tweaks such as changing the color of the softkeys , toggles in the notification area, 1% battery mod, adjustment for screen rotation interval, etc. Built on 4.0.3 too.

Have any of you roamed with an AOSP rom?
I'm having troubles with roaming:
1. It won't automatically connect to another provider.
2. If I use "Select automatically" it connects me to the network, but I can't make calls.

There's also a web portal, so you can access the info via the the WMD site.
Another service I like is Prey.
