No, the two aren't directly related. I simply figured I would multitask. 
I went off and wasted $3 on Tapatalk before doing some research and finding out this board doesn't work with that app. Speaking of that app, it's completely useless to me, as none of the forums I frequent are on the app.
First question--does anyone know of any (decent) apps that will allow me to access both/either IGN or Bad Cartridge? There's a wonderful iOS app for the IGN boards that one of its patrons created, but I don't believe he has any plans to port the app over to Android. 'Tis a shame.
Second, I hate not having a battery percentage on my notification bar. What is the best battery widget out there? Or, if there is a great battery widget inside one of the bigger "power" widgets (access to all controls), I'd like to not spend money on both.
Along those same lines, I like that there are screen brightness widgets that allow for three settings, but none that I have seen allow for customizing those settings. I don't want 0%, 50%, and 100%. I have the brightness set quite low (but NOT at 0%), and then I like to have auto-brightness turned on for when I'm out in direct sunlight. Is there a widget for, or within a bigger widget, allowing me to customize the screen brightness within the widget? Example--dual setting where I tap once, and it's at my low setting (that I specified), and tap again for auto-brightness.
Thanks.
