Windows phone 7 style app scrolling widget??? - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

I use launcher pro, I have only one home screen, but I want to be able to have two screens but one have a scrollable widget that has all of my apps like the windows 7 phone.
Or something that will give me the same basic effect.
Anyone heard of anything like this?

Leaked next version android music app

I'm sure most of us here have heard of this leaked app that is supposedly an early music app for Honeycomb. Just thought i'd share a link to a site to download it.
Link to download site: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/
Youtube video showcasing this early dev build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGw8TxCtNg&feature=related
** This is assumed to be a leaked early developer version! I had no hand in developing this! I'm not responsible for any damage that installing this app may cause, just delivering the message!
Enjoy!
Looks pretty sweet, a lot better than the current music app. Thanks for this.
Been running the app for 2 days... no fc's or problems at all... its about time they cleaned up the crappy stock music player.
Teleported with mind bullets via XDA App.
Yeah, i'm diggin the color fade between screens.
Whouda thought Android would have a bit of gangster in it? lol
Would love to have an eq though, unless i'm missing it.
woot thanks for sharing. just installed it.
Just installed, now time to remove the default app, thought this was going to replace it but didnt lol
It replaced my stock music app. But my question is, what is that jumper test for?

How do I uninstall the default player. I have the gold symbol and the original blue. I like the new touches. Especially how it displays the album art. That's neat lol

I like the coloring and much nicer looking set up.

It is nice-it works pretty well, I was just wondering if there is a way to update the stcok music app insted of having both of then installed?
I am running stock software on my G2 without root.
Thanks.

You won't be able to remove the stock music app without root. You need write access to /system/app to modify the contents.
Whats the additional jumper app for?

looks great but not always so smooth. My music sometimes gets choppy when I'm doing other things sadly D:

Handwritting with Asus Supernote

The size of the N7 makes it idea for taking notes - I can hold the device in one hand and write with the other in a way that's not possible with a 10" sreen. Amusingly the best app I've found for this is Asus SuperNote, but the menu buttons that normally appear on the bottom of a 10" screen don't appear on a 7". Bumping build.prop's ro.sf.lcd_density from 213 to 170 (root req) fixes it, but a system wide change like that for compatibility of one app is a less-than-ideal-solution imo.
Anyone have any ideas for another possible fix?
Just wait on paranoidandroid. You can set DPI for individual apps

I just tried this on Jr5, with the tablet ui mod and I had the nav buttons. It looked great, thanks for that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I sideloaded supernote on my N7 and noticed the navigation buttons were missing (I'm not rooted and thus running standard DPI).
My work around when in scribble mode I toggle to the keyboard to use backspace, enter key, or insert a space.

Yes, and you can also do a large horizontal swipe from right to left for backspace / delete I think.

Good point. I forgot about that capability.

Ugh, I would pay Asus for a version that scales right. Here's hoping this comes bundled with a 7 inch tablet soon.

They have now.... thanks. Hmm, Freenote is a fraction of the size too and seems to have more options / is more configurable. Gonna check it out.

Just want to tell you all, that there is an app called "Handwrite Free"! I like it better than freenote, better interface and options.

There's another thread on note taking. I used to like Freenote the best, but in this other thread, someone pointed out Handy Note. It's not free, but well worth the one dollar. Finally something I can actually use, organize, share and backup. Check it out. I tried Supernote as well. Was not good enough for me.

As was suggested early on, I think the idea of having configurable support for screen density of each app (or however you'd describe it) is the solution to this problem and others like it. For now I've suck with stock and the build.prop edit, but I'll probably be on a custom rom with this functionality before long.
Also, I've tried all of the alternate app suggestions in this thread as well as most in the other. There's a wide variety of apps to pick from - some with a little less functionality, some with way way too much more for my liking (and at 30+ megs installed, they'd better do more!).
As mentioned by a few people FreeNote is the best replacement for SuperNote in general design, but with more configurability and features, plus a smaller installed size to boot. However, all the apps I've tried do one curious little annoying thing "wrong" that SuperNote get's right... they misplace descenders (g j p q y) fully above the baseline.
is there now a way to run Supernote perfectly on the nexus 7? If so how would you go about doing that
Has anyone found a way to make it scale with ParanoidAndroid? I have tried 160dpi and different layouts, but never got it quite right :S
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you continue to have issues with SuperNote, consider checking out Handy Note Pro. I found it to be more usable. Plus, there's more than a few user reviews on Google Play that said that they lost all of their work when the app borked.
I just watched a video on youtube about asus memo pad 7, in it they were using supernote lite and the memo pad 7 is a 7" tablet so it should be perfect for a n7.
Someone is bound to get a hold of that apk so I will be on the look out for that!

Facebook on nexus 7

As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

I think the Facebook app is just fine.
I like Friendcaster
does contact syncing and high res contact pictures as well.
I try fast for facebook beta when i have it on my Android devices. Dont go on FB much :lol:

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

There is a reason Facebook is working on a native app for Android and already did for iOS. Our current app is an HTML5 based slow piece of trash..,

I deleted facebook app ,using default cm10 browser is much faster..on a 20mbt internet i wait for 4-5 seconds and more for a 50kb picture to show,that app after 1000 updates is still bad joke.I left app only on my phone because of push notificafions but i dont use it.

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.

[Req] "Zune"like daydream app

Hi. So, I am not a dev, and I don't have the time to learn. With that being said, does anybody know of any daydream apps that display the current song playing, and possibly has a Zune like vibe? If not, is anyone interested in building such an app?

Turn tablet kid-friendly

I've done some reading and found launchers, suggestions and apps. Wondering if anyone has a setup they can share? My little cousin is 7 and I got her a nexus 7
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but I share my device with my kids (4 and 7). I've set up an user account for them and I've locked it down with "kid' s place ". They can only reach the apps that I allow and can't mess with any settings. You can also use the timer function to limit their usage of the device. Exciting "kid's place" needs (if you choose this option) a code too...
The reason why I use different user accounts is to allow them to have their own user data in shared apps
I hope this is useful to you...

If you update the tablet to Android 4.3 you could use a restricted profile
Hope that helps
One thing I just thought of is, you could use desktop visualizer and make big icons on the home screen for the apps that they would be using so they dont need to go into the app drawer and open up unnecessary apps (Or I suppose you can just take off a shortcut to the app drawer from the home screen with a custom launcher).
A setup I used when I handed down my old tab to my son (3yo) is smart app lock from thinkyeah and apex launcher with icon size set up for bigger icons - kidoz TV for kid friendly vids and use adaway to - well that's obvious.
I use zoodles

4.3s new restricted profiles would work well for this. I haven't tried it myself though.

Take a look at all these apps. I'm sure one of them will fit your needs.

A Gumdrop Case would be another good addition for a child.
1.First restrict play store for keeping adult material out of kids reach
2.put on low level puzzles game like cut the rope,where is my water etc
3.search for some drawing apps
4.I don't think launcher will have an impact but if u need some attractive icons u can try apex,nova launcher
