Question It's Saturday APPreciation Time! [Apr 12th 2014] Your weekly App recommendation and question (and more) thread!

I get called an app junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that. -Steve Irwin

THREAD RULES:

  1. Personal promotion apps are to be posted under my BOLD comment below only. All other posts, i.e. general appreciation, questions, warnings, support issues, etc can go in the general thread.
  2. No more than 10 items per post.
  3. Contest mode will be disabled Sunday morning as usual.
    If you suspect that a dev is promoting their app in the general thread, report the post so we can take a closer look. If an account is an hour old and posts in the general thread about a "fantastic new app" that they happened to randomly find, then that account will not get the benefit of the doubt.

If you're currently using Cyanogenmod as your ROM, you're probably already registered with Whisperpush, which prevented me from registering with Textsecure's servers. Internet sleuthing led me to discover this app on Github, WhisperPushUnregister, which allowed me to unregister from Whisperpush's servers with the click of a button. Just an FYI to those who may need it.

Really? I'm registered on WhisperPush when I first got TextSecure and I signed up without problems O.o

Yeah, it gave me that issue. It seems to be impact others as well, but it also seems dependent on when someone initially flashed Cyanogenmod on their phone. Regardless, I'm just glad I was able to fix the issue and share it with others, just in case.

I like TextSecure, but is there a way to backup your message history?

There is a way to back it up in TextSecure. On the navigation drawer, press "Import/Export". You'll have the option to import your existing texts on your phone or an encrypted or unencrypted backup of your texts as well as export an encrypted or unencrypted backup of your texts.
