Adaptive Rotation Lock - enables you to force landscape for viewing videos the most comfortable way round.
Best Wifi - as you walk round the house it connects to the wireless network with the best signal - assuming you have more than one in your house.
MySettings Pro - displays a grid of 12 icons - very clearly - for turning features on or off or for accessing their settings.
Stopwatch and Timer + - well, you've got to have a stopwatch on a watch! And this is very clear on the TS screen.

Hi all,
I have several other Android devices at home, all of them runing CM7 or CM9. While I appreciate some of the things the Motorola ROM (GSM here) delivers, I'm missing quite a bit as well:
- grid size on home screen - having 3 widgets fills out completely a screen; I'm looking for a 50% or 100% increase in rows and columns. DPI changer is not able to provide that
- battery reporting is only done in 10% increments; I'm using Circle Battery Widget as a workaround
- no way to toggle 2G/3G with a switch. Using notification toggle because I cannot live without status bar toggles
- provider name is too long in the status bar
- no way to tweak auto light levels
- lock screen does not display any info about missed calls or messages
- notification led does not have any settings
- cannot assign custom shortcuts or wakeups - like pressing both volume buttons to open camera from lock
- no way to change the number of screens in home
- widgets do not get updated after an install, I need to kill the launcher first
- stock gallery looks really sad and performs slowly on zoom
- there is no "charge only" option beneath the usb/mtp/ptp
- no color themes for home screen, so I can use darker colors for power saving
- no themes for email widget, same reason
- email widget uses a lot of power (partial wake) even though the accounts are set to sync once per hour
- I don't see any way to take HDRs with the stock camera app. I thought this was default in ICS
- cannot use any other external sound equalizer - tried mostly with DSPManager
- stock music app does not wake on bluetooth control; if it's paused for more than 30 seconds I need to open it again to be able to resume music
- stock equalizer messes up the volume of the music pretty bad and it compresses the sound
- cannot assign a long press on the back button to kill the current app
On the other hand there are some new custom features which I really like, like the 'disable' application button, smart actions, detailed data usage and data limits, disabling background data, ...
So my question is, how can I enable some of the stuff above without losing a lot of battery life, money or UI integration (I'm thinking metro-like simplistic looks).
I'm also missing the option to disable individual permissions for apps, but the "disable background data" built-in feature fulfills 80% of this. I would have loved to be able to disable location awareness for some apps.
Right now the biggest gripe is the 10% step on battery reporting, I cannot get accurate battery stats. Still, that part is in part filled by BetterBatteryStats.
I have a cheap 7" tablet that I'd like to setup as a kitchen display. This is how I imagine using it:
1) At 6AM, tablet wakes up display, turn off display at 9AM.
2) AM: display traffic map, similar to the Inrix app.
3) AM: display weather for today
4) At 5PM: tablet wakes up display
5) PM: display weather data for next few days
You get the idea. I want some control over when the display wakes up. I'd also like it to perhaps switch apps like a demo unit - for example, show the weather on the display for 5 seconds, then switch to the traffic map for 30 seconds, then switch back to weather.
I've consider using just the desktop, and simply squeeze a weather widget and a google maps traffic widget in the same screen. But, I'd like the solution to be more extensible. So, later if I decide to display another piece of info, I can just time share the screen.
I think I can use Tasker to turn the display on/off at set times. But, I don't know of a way to make the tablet rotate between two or three different apps.
I might also use the tablet as a recipe book. So, I'd like the weather/traffic display feature to kick in automatically when the tablet stops being used.

there are quite a lot of apps with Air Gestures. but most of them are still under development. I've tried the Hovering controls by forgin. but it's user interface is not as friendly as in Air Swiper by helmanss. however Air swiper doesn't have as much features as in hovering controls. hovering controls has features like air scrolling which allows scrolling inside browser, gallery,etc. but Air swiper has a very simple and straightforward user interface. I wish both of them are fused together and becomes one.

Truesmart do evrything but getting time is really a pain
Here is how I customized mine in order to get a watch :
- use Analog Clock live Wallpaper,
- set up display time as needed,
- disable lockscreen,
- put icons into one group,
- use Shake to switch on the screen on demand.
Now I'm on time
