    Is there a better recent apps carousel available? I'm using Paranoid Android but like most ROMs, only the stock recent thumbnails seem to be available. I really would like something like the HTC carousel or the Kindle Fire one. Can anyone think of anything?

    I've recently bought a 16gb N7 and as usual am regretting not waiting for the 32gb to come out.I then realised that most of the space on the N7 (10gb) is being used for storing some of my music and only a couple of gb of apps. If I could just stream my music via LAN from my PC, I would not need...

    Can anyone suggest a good, reliable sms to speech app while driving? I need my messages read out to me and be able to reply too! I've tried a few but they are really flaky (I'm looking at you Eva, Skyvi etc). I was sure that JB could do this natively with Google Voice but now I'm not so sure!
