More interactive than Google news app. But then, I'm easily impressed I guess.

Finally a news application that fits me. Thanks
running AOKP build....whatever is latest

Works great, thanks!

Is anybody able to add a Flipboard widget to the homescreen? Apparently it comes with one but it doesn't show up in my widget drawer.
Edit: I got it to show up in Epsilon but not AOKP. Weird.

Do you have it installed on your SD card, or internally?

Okay so this app is very nice. Although, I have a glitch where I cannot go back to previous articles. As it just snaps back to my original page. Other than that, its really nice, but I'll stick with Pulse News.

Yeah, I have something similar to that--it glitches up and displays a certain page over and over even though you are changing pages and if you click on that page it goes to the article that should be displayed on that page, not the one that is displayed.

Indeed. I see you are running AOKP. I am too. Perhaps it is an AOKP issue? Can someone else confirm?

After a day of usage, I'm pretty impressed. You can set up an account using the red icon in the upper right corner. The one thing I would like to see is the ability to change the sources it uses for it's articles.

You CAN add/remove sources. Search for, let's say, Engadget. And Engadget will show up as one of the sources in the results. Click on that and then click on "+" icon to add it.

Very good!

OnlyOne Beta Discussion Thread

I figured I'd make this for people to talk about issues and cool things they find with the OnlyOne Beta 2 Rom
Good morning everyone!
Just installed this ROM last night and running it through the paces.
When long clicking on a home screen, I do not see the option to add direct dial, direct text etc to the homescreens, just apps and folders.
Any suggestions?
Those options are in the app drawer. Click on the app drawer then widgets. Long click the widget to add it.

This is the type of ROM/MOD I really like....plus the SIII TouchWiz operates great...I can get rid of all my other alternative lauchers.
I did try to do some of these mod's myself on the leaked version...svoice, touchwiz, etc. but there was always something not running right...so it's great that some take the time to do this for us!!!
Nice...running almost perfect thusfar...highly recommended.
Can anyone confirm if the tether feature on this rom is working?

Thank you for putting this rom together it's amazing.
The only issue I'm having is with the wallpaper. It says it's vertical when you choose it then changes to scrolling on it's own therefore it zooms in and doesn't look very good. Am I missing something?

[Q] After ICS update - no more swipe top of screen for brightness :(

Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but i use this feature everyday...no more swiping the top of the screen to adjust brightness level.
Is there a new shortcut for this? It's very handy.
oh man are you serious?? I too use this feature ALL the time no joke... hmm maybe I should put off this update? lol. Can someones else with ICS please confirm this?
Unfortunately it is indeed gone (I used it very often before, too).

I just went back stock and updated today and can confirm it's no longer there. I noticed the same with the ICS leaks that have been out recently but just thought it was something to do with being a leak.
Unfortunate, I really liked that feature.
A lot of the CM9 based ROMS have this feature available.

Do you all really not look in the market or on google for apps or do you just come here for answers cause you don't wanna take the time to look? Here is an app that does exactly what you want. You can control brightness by swipeing the top, bottom or side, your choice. It can also bee seen or you can make the bar transparent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
There is another app, Notification Toggle which mimics that of the 15 toggle mod that we were seeing around a bit before. You can put it in your status bar so all you do is pull down and set brightness from there plus a whole mess of other stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

Wow! After using the app porkenhimer suggested (my new favorite app : thanks) I can see what the other gentlemen were talking about. That would be a feature I would miss and ask for in future roms.
If you don't have this app, get it asap.

After trying this app i'll admit it's a terrible replacement. I might try the similar app that is just a widget and see if that'll work better.

Dialer/contacts app with swipe to call functionality?

Samsung dialers used to include a function where you could slide right over a contact to call and slide left to message them. They removed this a while ago and changed to the default android behavior, so I switched to using exdialer since it retained this. Just the other day, exdialer was updated and no longer does this in the contacts (still works in the recent call list) . I've looked around a bit for another app that has this functionality, but I can't seem to find one.
Anyone know of one out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Any and every Samsung TW(touchwiz) based rom has this function. Shostock, Aberration, all TW roms. Cm9,AOSP and AOKP roms DO NOT have this feature. So you need to try a TW rom, I dual boot Shostock2 and Aberration, and both have this feature.
He's talking about alternative dialer apps if I'm not mistaken. I don't use any, so unfortunately i can't help.
exDialer in the Play store. It's free and has the swipe to call/SMS functionality you're looking for.

Nope, as the op mentioned, it was removed in the latest update (or at least doesn't work correctly on JB ). The toggle is still in the settings, and it works from the call history, but swiping left or right in contacts just changes pages.

It still works in exDialer. You have to click the button in preferences to allow swiping to dial from contacts. I've just tried it and confirmed it still works. However, I don't know how it worked before as I've never used it before today, so not sure if it's a new setting previously unavailable.
Also, I'm running Task's AOKP JB. Make sure you set a # as default, too, the first time you try it for each person.

Yep, I'm an idiot. There are actually TWO toggles to enable swipe a contact to dial. The one towards the top of the list is for the dialer only, and then there is another one lower in the list for contacts.
Thanks JankAU for pushing me to figure this out - it had been a moderate annoyance. Hope this also helps out the OP.

No worries, brother. We've got bigger issues, like keeping Task around, ya know? And to be honest, I thought you were right the first time because I was swiping from history. I had to figure it out as well, so it worked out for both of us!

I've noticed that too. I'm also I'm disappointed they didn't add more sources or add the ability for us to add our own. :/
More sources would of been a welcome refresh. Now i have to see my dock in the feed as well that cuts down the viewing area of the already small tiles.
Oh well, the other changes outweigh this small one.
I do like back button sending you to the top instead of having to hit the status bar. I wasnt that accurate and normally opened the top story on the first try

Thanks for this! I got the update through play store last evening. To be honest i'm not a huge fan of the new style, it seems very much like the iPhone version of google maps, which i'm not a fan of. I really dislike how the menu button doesn't do anything.
I went back to the old Google maps. Not a fan of the new one at all.

Love the new look. Like how it gives alternate routes with time like Google Now
Like the new look, but HATE that they took some layer features out and also the traffic widgets! That sucks, so for now I'm not keeping the update. I had two traffic widgets. One for work and one for home. Really helpful for everyday I work. I know if I gotta bust A$$ and get moving or can take it easy and just go about my morning. Really hope they bring that back.
