My only available options are

• “Automatically choose”
• “ExoPlayer”
• “LibVLC (experimental)”
• “External app”
• “Always ask”

And ExoPlayer is the one already selected. Do I need to manually install JustPlayer and/or MXPlayer on the Shield?

Edit: Found 'em in the Play Store and installed them to the Shield. 👍

As a Shield user and new Jelly adopter, I’ll be interested in this answer. (Plus, I didn’t know there were player options.)

Edit: Happen to know where I find the player settings? 🤔

Came here to mention Cronometer. 👍

Nifty! Is there an option to selectively compile packages? So I could try it on the apps I use most often? 🤔

Simple Gallery is potentially suspect now?! 🤦‍♂️

Would not have thought to check again this early. Thanks for the news!

More than one of you have recommended wired Google earbuds–but I don’t see them in the Google Store–just bluetooth ones. What am I missing, here?

And to second what some other’s have said, I got a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter w/DAC that I use with an old reliable pair of wired earbuds, here.

Well, the 14 beta 5 didn’t fix the problem with Nova Launcher, so my choices are reboot the phone occasionally–or use Pixel Launcher for now.

The only consistent issue I’ve had with 14 so far is Nova Launcher occasionally becomes unresponsive requiring a phone reboot. Nova says it’s a known issue in 14? Just today I switched to the Pixel Launcher to see if things improve. After I flash beta 5, I can go back and test Nova.

I’m running the A14 betas–so please keep these posts coming!! 👍

I use PulseSMS.

Every time I try a different email client (on the desktop) I always go back to Thunderbird within a few days. Within the last few months I’ve grown to love a T-bird fork called “Betterbird” which seems a lot snappier and more responsive than the “official” bird.

I’ve been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic–quite understandable given their early development.

I’m really looking forward to trying Sync when it’s ready.

NOVA. Every single time I’ve tried an alternate launcher, I always return to NOVA within 24 hours.

This is genuinely exciting news.

My first Linux was an Ubuntu that started with a “D”. I ended up on Arch for quite awhile when I enjoyed learning and tinkering. For the last couple of years I’ve been really happy with Manjaro. No tinkering required! 😁
