"Official" NPR app released

Title says it all. Official NPR application has been released. Search "NPR" on the Market. Some screenshots below. Unfortunately this won't replace Listen for me since it does not access APM and PRI streams =( Gotta get my Marketplace and This American Life.

It's called "Battery Indicator"

i'll have to check this out, thanks

I downloaded a .m4v file from the app and the video will not play.
What app do you guys use to play these video files? Seems odd to be able to download a file from an app that the phone can not play (.m4v files are for the iPod/iPhone).
:edit: Found this post which helps answer part of my question. ALTHOUGH, I STILL COULD NOT PLAY THE VIDEO AFTER RENAMING THE FILE EXTENSION. How can I fix this to work??
I do love the app. I wish that you could stream the audio though. I always seem to be getting out of my car right when they are at a point that I do not want to miss - would be nice to whip out my phone and continue while walking into work. Does the iPhone's version mirror this one?

Seriously, the most exciting application this month (speaking for myself). A sincere thanks for the update!

[APP] Car Home APKs

Was looking for a Car Home app and stumbled upon this thread:

If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk. If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!

Is this Car Home by Google? Looks the same; however I noticed the Market Version says my device is not supported.

^^^^ I'd like to know this too. Been using Samsung's app which is a little weak. Will give this a try

Interesting. It works, but has some quirks. The music button only seems to work with the google music app. When I try to add other apps to a screen, it only allows me to select launcher apps...

[THEME] Stock Music.apk Grit theme

Hi guys, I'm usually just a forum poster to XDA, but I want to achieve a Theme Maker status.
This is a Music theme based on the Stock, it should work on all Froyo ROMs, not sure about GB but you can test.
This looks a bit like Trekfan's Music app made to fit the form of the ICS Set for Froyo.
When you open you will notice a Gritty Blue look to the now playing bar at the bottom, this was made through PicsArt Android app with other things added that aren't important. When you will Guide yourself to your Artists albums that display the Unknown Album Art .png you will see that it has been custom themed to a Brown Burnt Paper while still displaying the CD.
Upon displaying the play Menu you'll see the buttons have been Sheer Effected.
I hope any and all who use this enjoy it, this was strictly made through my phone.
PLEASE IF YOU USE THIS LEAVE FEEDBACK, IT ENCOURAGES US THEME MAKERS TO ATTEMPT MORE.
All stock ICS theming goes to the righteous Trekfan.
Love XDA

Just a few things changed, I've gotta get my computer back so I've got my editing tools.
1. I can't stand the Black/Grey Unknown Artist CD display.
2. Just seen an advantage.
3. More hardcore work will come when we get the Computer and I can do Grit editing.

Spotify Web

Just thought I'd mention as I cant see it posted anywhere that "Spotify Web" works great on N7 using the latest Firefox browser with flash installed, great now they have dropped the five play restriction on free accounts.

Great, thanks bud
This work over Data?

So I do have flash installed but this is what I get.

Flash is disabled by default in Firefox, have you enabled it in settings?

Yep that worked for me, I previously had plugins set to tap to activate, changing to enabled did the trick. Brilliant find I can now use my free Spotify account on my tablet without premium to make the app work.
It doesn't work with the the screen off or with Firefox in the background but it's handy none the less.

Forgot to mention there are a few addons for firefox to keep it in desktop mode to save you switching it manually, I'm using the "Desktop by default" addon.

Thanks, this will come in handy for the music I can't find on music unlimited, they had to lift the 5 tune restriction because people went to other premium services for less, got to pull people back in somehow.
Just looked at my playlists in spotify......nearly a year old.

looks great

Didn't work for me. Have plugins set to 'enabled' on desktop site, but no go.

Snapchat on LG L90?

I have been using Snapchat frequently, but I have noticed that ever since a month ago, when I specifically record videos on Snapchat, there is a black bar on the top and bottom, I am assuming the aspect ratio is off? You can't change the camera settings via the Snapchat app, so I was wondering what could be causing this...
It takes pictures fine though. Really would like to fix this issue, as it is awkward sending a video via Snapchat with black bars making it look like as if I am using some type of ancient phone...

Can you send a screenshot so that we can see what you are seeing? AFAIK it may be an update affecting video

Sorry I just saw this! So I took a random picture of the Chicago Skyline via Google Images (if for some reason this post gets flagged, the original picture can be found here: http://monkeywrenchplumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/IMG_44852.jpg).
Anywho, this is how videos on Snapchat turn out (again, I didn't take this picture!) but basically, imagine that picture was a normal 10 second video on Snapchat, that is how the video is usually outputted as, with the two black bars:
