I have that, but DovTheBear told me this one is better.
Google Maps has integrated the Israeli public transit system into their maps.  Did you try that?

Pretty good.  They put a lot of work into it, and they still are.
Agav, I personally think Moovit works great.  It's not too complicated in Israel, it's pretty much only buses and light rail.  What's cool about Moovit is that they seem on top of their game in regards to updating traffic patterns based on current events.  For example, if there is a levaya and they close off streets, or if there's some sort of marathon with planned cancellations, Moovit is up to date (unlike Google Maps).

I installed Fox fi and it forced me to add a pattern lock.  How do I turn it off now?

This would be the appropriate thread.

I don't think it's confirmed anyway. Just rumors as of now.

Vonage app now has a feature which allows AT&T/T-Mobile postpaid customers to receive incoming WiFi calls through their normal number. As was previously, all users can place outgoing WiFi calls with their normal number showing for caller ID.

I got this after i put in a a SIM for Israel. Good information, although for some reason it didn't trigger until the next reboot, 12 hours later.
ETA: The GPS was off.

Cerberus had a promotion a while back, free for lifetime, and it has those features plus a lot more.
BTW, Android Device Manager can also show where your device is if you enable it.

FYI:

Cerberus ~ free license for new accounts (30 hour birthday special)

Me, as posted above. You can't beat the price, and it's better than android device manager.
