I don't know if you all have access to IOS Game Center on Android, but if you need suggestions/strategies about Pocket Frogs, I am ever more an enabler.

Pocket Frogs Wiki is my go-to spot for info.

I am still actively playing and it has been over a year!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I swear to god, it's like you people have been infested by aliens and are speaking your special alien language.

Hey. New board.

If it makes you feel better, ita !, I'm sure they all feel that way when we talk about our Androids.

Speaking of: my current wish is a widget that you can put other widgets in, and switch between them. I envision basically a rectangle, almost invisible, with places on the left and right edges you could hit to move to the next widget.

I want this because I regularly use three different music players, all of which have 4x1 widgets, but I obviously don't need them all at once. My "Widget Drawer" would allow me to switch between them as needed, so only the one I'm actually listening to would be visible. I particularly want this on my WidgetLocker lock screen.

I don't have the chutzpah to program this myself, unfortunately, and am unsure where to go to request it. Somewhere on XDA, I assume, but where?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, basically, like the homescreen sliding functionality, but for just a section of the screen with same sized widgets? Interesting.

I'm trying to organise the screens on my phone the most efficiently, and I don't even know. Half the main screen is given over to the Google Voice widget, 1/4 to a SiMi clock/weather widget, and the remaining strip has folders with email, browsers, voice communication, and navigation apps.

I don't get how the people who have their screens showcased on LifeHacker get away with the sparing (and gorgeous) layouts that they do. I'm trying to thematicify mine (like, all the toggles on one screen, productivity widgets on another) and it's just a mess. No one widget packet has everything I need, so no pure style consistency.

A big, glorious, useful mess, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You just say that now, ita ! but wait until you get all amphibian. And I will need help, le nubian, so thanks for the info! I am right now just flailing around. But I can tell I will waste a lot of time on it.

I agree with both gris and ita ! on the widgets. I spent half a morning on this furlough reorganizing my home pages and I don't like it. I like the widgets, I do, I just want them to be more consistent. And possibly smaller. Or to have more than five damn screens available.

Liese,

I don't know if they have achievements in the Android version, but work on the achievements. It helps you move up levels.

If game center and android mix, I'm happy to send you frogs.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have an Access database question-

I have a "memo" field in my database to put directions to certain rooms in my confirmation. It is a memo field because the directions can be longer than 255 characters. The way the database developer here set up my confirmation emails, it is a mail merge to word. In the word document, the directions are truncated to 255 characters, which means I have to type in the directions each time I send the email, which sort of defeats the purpose of the mail merge.

The database developer says that it is just the way it is, that there is no way around that-- does anyone know if this is true?

I found this: [link] but am not sure how to solve any of the problems.
