Adobe Photoshop Touch

Has anyone attempted side-loading this app? I'm pretty disappointed to see it's incompatable with the N7.

I have it loaded on my N7 and it seems to work fine. I just pulled it for data/app out of one of my other device and moved it to my N7 and installed it.

Good to know! I want to buy it but I do not have a tab or phone that supports it .

Yup,I can also confirm it's working. It's actually really nice running it on my Nexus 7 instead of my Galaxy Nexus,lol

I'd love to have a copy of this as I do a lot of photo processing. But I don't have a backed-up apk. Anyone know where I can get one?
Edit:
Ooops! Forgot it's a paid app. Will petition Adobe to upgrade it.

Any build.prop mods needed to get it to run? It starts loading on my nexus, but then just quits.

Running it on rooted stock at 160 dpi. Works great!

Sliding between activities

Is there an app for sliding screens between various activities when multitasking? For instance, I would like to play online chess and online scrabble at the same time. Is there something that would save me having to switch off applications, allowing a smooth transition through screen sliding?

I think your talking about side by side apps like the feature on the new Note and the cornerstone projects.

You can also try LMT Launcher (search xda there is a thread with the app its not in the play store but I think you still need root)
Why not root? I mean it's all good if you don't want to just wondering if there is something preventing you from rooting. I don't know how I'd live without root lol

Isn't that what the recent apps button is for? That is exactly what I do with it...

Many thanks for your replies. Sounds like rooting's the answer!

Sounds like a great plan. You will like the ride. And the app is just great.

I found an app caused App Launcher that I mapped to my Hold-Home button (instead of Google Now). It cost $1.99 but pops up a menu to launch favorite apps from. Google Now is mostly a waste on the N7 without wifi.
The app is hard to find in the Play Store app. I had to use the website.

Many thanks for this! Much appreciated!
I have since then discovered SwipePad, which is even better than what I was looking for. And it's free!

Where do you get Polaris Office and is it available for purchase or is it still free? I know it was on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Try Kingsoffice its fantastic.

Given that Google bought quick office, I would at least consider it since it's likely to evolve into the de facto standard for the android platform.

Using Quickoffice HD its the best looking and easiest to use in my experience.

best for me has been office suite. The advantages are many including opening password protected files

Quick Office HD... if you buy it on the Play store you have to side load it...otherwise you can buy it on Amazon and it installs without issue.

I prefer documents to go. Its the only one of the major office apps out there that worked flawlessly with some of my gigantic excel spread sheets. All the others crashed or failed to load properly these spreadsheets.

Kingsoft Office works for me. Free too.

why not google docs/drive?

Why can I not find Polaris anywhere?! I've tried their site, Google play, and even ripping the apk from my Transformer Prime...still no dice. Any ideas?

I use Smart Office 2, it was a sale on play for something like £1-£2, tried kingsoffice on the Sony tablet S I used to have, but it was too laggy for me, SO2 worked great on that then and now.
It has the 'swish' factor plus use can share in all the usual places, as well as the usual doc, docx etc.

Documents to go is another app to look at as well. It includes word, excel, powerpoint, and a pdf reader

Considering purchase of this phone. 1 question.

Does this phone register as a "phone" on the Google play store? I've primarily used Wifi devices as my phone for about 2 years now, and have upgraded to a Nexus 7. The only problem was, most apps (the ones I want) are only compatible with phone sizes and not tablet sizes.
So I wanted to know if this phone had any compatibility issues with those phone size apps, if any.

NFC TAGS

Was wondering if anyone has played around with NFC tags. I ordered a new case for my phone and it came with one. I have setup a few tasks to automate things. I was wondering what others have used them for and what apps they use and recommend.
