miui theme non-market apps????

So I figured out how to get the activity names of apps off market but what about non-market apps like wired tether? How do I go about editing those icons???

I use http://activities.droidicon.com/. Other than a couple random kids games I have for my daughter, I've found everything there.

Yes it configures your bluetooth drivers to be compatible with the playstations3 hid bluetooth remotes. In a nutshell it pairs your playstation controller to your phone via a bluetooth mac adress that you match with your control via a windows app that the dev provides.

Can't agree with you more. I read that Minecraft will be updated next month with Survival Mode and Iris is such a smartass to me >.<

I only joined the Android party last April, but there's a number of great apps I find myself using all the time (in no particular order):
Pandora - I've been in love with this service for years, and the Android app is very solid
Rom Toolbox - Conveniently combines a bunch of features in one place. I only use the free version, and it's like a standard, very useful, Swiss Army knife. I imagine the paid version hulks it up to one of those inch-thick everything you might ever need in your pocket models. For me, the Terminal Emulator, Ad Blocker, Auto Start Manager, and Font Installer see regular use.
LastPass - While you have to pay to use the mobile client, it's really cheap and the convenience of having access to everything on the go is amazing. The app is comprised of two parts, really: a standalone browser for browsing to and automatically logging in to any site in your vault, and a system keyboard, which you can use to plug any of your logins into any app on your phone. If you're a Dolphin HD user, there's also a convenient browser plugin.
Waze - I typically use Google Nav when I don't know where I'm going, but Waze is amazing for user-generated traffic, hazard, police, and other information on your drive. I bring it up on my daily commutes so I can pick the optimal route to/from work, avoid speed traps along the way, and have an accurate, updated-along-the-way ETA for when the wife inevitably calls and asks when I'll be home.
Screen Filter - a sublime utility. qbking's video list didn't mention the widgets available with this app, which are my primary method of use. I have four different dimmer settings between 11 and 62% that cover just about every situation I regularly find myself in. A quick home screen slide and a tap and everything becomes much easier on the eyes in low light situations.
ZDbox - Like Rom Toolbox, this is an app that provides a handful of useful tools. It's my choice for app locking, batch uninstall, batch SD moves, and cache cleaning.
IMDb - I would die if I didn't have this baby handy for all the times I'm watching a show or movie and ask "where have I seen him before?!"
QuickPic - A stellar image browser with very convenient options to include/exclude specific directories on your file system.
Go Launcher EX - With themes, folders, widget resizing, gestures, etc., I love this launcher and its flexibility
AContact - I don't think I've ever heard anybody else talk about this alternative dialer/contacts; I stumbled onto it in the market one day and it's become my favorite for its clean, configurable interface

Woah can't forget GTA III

I'm loving AppBak. It makes a backup of your installed apps and when you restore it takes you to the Market for that app so everytime I do a fresh install of a Rom I can also install my apps fresh in a few minutes.

I have My Backup Pro not Titanium so I don't know but it only takes me about 10 minutes to re-download about 50 apps and there is only a small amount of data I restore. Then I end up with a complete fresh install which seems to be the starting point for solving several problems so I figure why not start there and try to avoid the problems in the first place.

Bump? i'd like to know what others fav apps are still! XD

Minecraft??

I know this will most likely not work but its worth asking.
Is there a way to play minecraft on android other than the app because it sucks. It uses the .jar extension meaning it needs java 6 or 7 runtime but is there anyway to make it work?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No. Mine craft uses about 512mb of the ram all the time and needs even more to run alongside an OS. That is PC ram which is way faster than mobile ram. The game also requires enough CPU power to render huge worlds and all of the changes associated with them which the hummingbird obviously can't do. The graphics are also too intensive for the gpu.

[APP] XBMC

I proudly present to you XBMC v7 Alpha tested and working on the T989.
This version is open source, free to share.
You may need to reboot after install, but I had zero issues.
Enjoy!

Sweeeeeet thx for the up bro
Any specific place for themes?
Is themin this similar to crapbox version?

Not sure about themes. Sorry.
XBMC is a streaming media player, for those that asked. Its popular for self-built media centers and available on Ubuntu and newer linux distros, Windows, and now Android.
Sorry about thread title, freaking' Swype

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Update, needs some performance tweaks, is this open source? Was when i used it for crapbox,
Also adding screenshots, this things beautiful & for movies on SD, it actually downloads boxart etc. Which is a nice touch gonna look into the theming tho,
Fix the scaling a lil n itd b perfict, hitting thanks again on OP, you deserve it, didnt even know this was a WIP & FYI, not media player, media CENTER, its an AIO program, with native DVD playback, multi format software decoding, built in "gallery", etc, its powerful and on other systems, incredibly customizable, future builds are a garunteed must have app
Edit* wont let me hit thanks, common people show your respects lol
**EDIT2
Theming looks simple,
Skins are listed in "/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/apk/assets/addons/skin.{skinname}"
Only extra skin by default is called touch, so it would be:
"/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/apk/assets/addons/skin.touch"
With an addon.xml in root theme folder, specifying multiple variables includig source texture folder,default resolution,etc
Btw, touch default res is 1280x720, that might be the scaling issue happening, hint hint
Woohoo.. another project xD

No need to thank me, i didn't work on this I just linked the apk.
Yes this is official from XBMC and its open source

This is a BETA, not official release (ok, well, technicly), and ur complainin something isn't working correct?
TubePlus isn't on official plugins list cuz it isn't working 100%, although somebody asked for a link so it was provided.
You could try adjusting some proxies, & playin with configurations for it, or wait for official support.
Consider urself lucky though, alls I get on my amaze is a black screen & ui sounds (HTC sucks..)

Here is the link for all on the nightlies for xbmc

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
