Oh, by single notifications, I meant that if you've got notifications from several applications, Cyanogenmod lets you swipe just one of them to make it disappear without clearing all of them. Like if I have a "new email" notification, I might want to actually check the e-mail right now, but I might want the notification to go away without clearing my "It's your turn in Scrabble" notification. In Cyanogenmod, swipe the e-mail, it disappears, the scrabble stays. MIUI is like stock android - clear all, launch the app, or leave it are your only choices.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Huh. On both my devices (ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro, but I just checked and the default Galaxy launcher does it too) I have an X next to each application's notification, and can clear it without losing everything else. Is that what you mean? I thought I was dealing with stock there too.

Oh, that is sweet. I was ashamed when Colin showed me the five quick setting toggles that shipped with my phone and tablet, because I really should be ahead of him on those things. That's way better, even if you are giving up about an entire home screen. It looks worth it.
They're not selling anything, so they don't hire anybody to sell it.
But isn't that the same about CyanogenMod? It just seemed easier to research. I figured that's because primary dev is happening in English.
I've realised I have a Motorola Cliq lying about here. If I can find the power cable (please let it be the standard USB mini), I might root that for general rooting practice.
The notifications screen is not controlled by the launcher, it's controlled by the underlying ROM/OS. If you have the ability to dismiss single notifications, you are not looking at stock Android - that capability is coming in on Ice Cream Sandwich. It may be in Android 3.0, actually, but if you have it on your phone it's custom. Must be provided by T-Mobile.
The quick-settings toggles is not a home screen. You pull down your notifications screen, the click the tab at the bottom to access the toggles.
You're right about Cyanogenmod being easier to research, but it's also much bigger. There is more passion about it. And the primary dev is indeed in English, which helps.

It must be a Honeycomb thing, then. Because that's where I have it. I can't keep track. Fragmentation ahoy.
I've been reading developer.android.com. It's a surprisingly initially accessible read for someone who has no intention of developing and just learnt they'd need to download the SDK. The deltas between the major releases are fascination.

Nifty.
Ok folks, sell me on GroceryIQ - I downloaded it but I don't think I'm using it right because it doesn't seem very useful. What am I missing?
I didn't like it - it wasn't useful to me to make lists based on particular brands, which seems to be where it shines. I just want to get "pretzels" not "Rold Gold Twists." I'm using OurGroceries now, which is shared with my wife. Much simpler.

Then add pretzels. There's nothing stopping you doing that. You can add either brands or generics. I've gone through and done both--there's informative brand information in there about what's available, but sometimes just bacon is enough.
I don't see anything *not* simple about Grocery IQ. I can just type "Bacon" into the line at the bottom of the screen, or I can go a level deeper and say "Bacon" or go a level deeper than that and scan the barcode of the particular brand of bacon that's in my fridge. There's no requirement to commit to any level. And the lists are shareable too.
Hm. I guess since I do the vast majority of my grocery shopping online anyway, having my grocery list in an app doesn't add much value. For some reason I thought it did more than that.
That would make for an interesting app, one that consolidated online groceries.
But I don't know how to make it an attractive business model is outside my scope.
Ok, I need help, and I need help.
It's for the scavenger hunt. I am the techiest geek on our team (HA!) and I am creating, in wordpress.com, a gallery of US senators. You're supposed to mouse over each pic, and any "infamies" they're done are supposed to pop up when you roll over them.
Amy was really helpful, and I DID the gallery part (well, I've got the pix, still gathering dirt on 100 senators. With citations, because I'm like that). But I can get the info to come up when I CLICK on a pic, and it's supposed to appear when I MOUSE/ROLL over it.
Can anyone either (a) tell me, in clear language, how to do this, or (B) when I get the gallery up, go in as an admin and put in mouseover code.
As you can can tell, I am geek lite (but I am getting geekier, and reveling in it!)
I have to go to a church and try to get them to sing Eye of the Tiger for me in an hour or so. Reply here is good, reply at profile addy is good, and if you email me, I'll be happy to give out phone number if you need to talk me through it.
PLEASE.
