I'm sure there's a couple other threads for this, but I thought one in the AT100/ Thrive section would be neat.
I will also keep adding to this original post.
9th August, added VPlayer, CNN, AccuWeather and Astro File Manager.

and
https://market.android.com/details?...ddons.applauncher&feature=more_from_developer
(I like to use this since in AU we only have 3.0.1, thus the 'app switcher' thing isn't scrollable.)
Wizz Bar
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.snowbee.wizzbar&feature=more_from_developer
(Something like Slide Pad but a little more optimized for Honeycomb.)
Hacker's Keyboard
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&feature=search_result
(Very desktop-ish keyboard, key's are slightly smaller than default.)
Better Keyboard
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.betterandroid.betterkeyboard8&feature=search_result
(Keyboard than recently got an update for tablet's, height can be changed, wealth of themes on the market. Note you must pay for the full version.)
WIDGETS
The Obelisk
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clevergnome.fbtabletwidget
(A facebook widget, similar to the stock Youtube and Market widget.)
Wizz Widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.snowbee.colorize.hd&feature=also_installed
(Wealth of widgets, all in the same theme.)

(Music Player with widgets in a Honeycomb theme.)
WEB
AccuWeather
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.accuweather.android.tablet&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mx.browser.tablet&feature=search_result
Dolphin Browser for Pad
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.pad
(It's still in beta but it has a couple features the stock browser doesn't have.)
THEMING
Destop VisualizeR
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr&feature=search_result
(Neat for making your icons nice and big.)
VTL Launcher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046302
(It's like ADW 'cept much more smooth on a tablet though some users have had boot loop issues.)
There's many games as well such as the THD game's like Fruit Ninja THD, and games that look good on the big screen like Radiant. Also launcher's like LauncherPro are really neat on phones but just aren't that smooth or fast scrolling wise for tablets.
Hope these apps may make your experience with the Thrive a little more useful, they have for me since we've been getting quite honestly poor support here in Aus.
Btw I'm just looking at app's that aren't for rooted users since I know it's quite new on the Thrive/AT100 and I personally myself don't plan on rooting.

Use VTL Launcher at your own risk. If you check the WEB page, it says it is not compatible with Honeycomb. Some individuals on Toshiba Thrive Forum has reported ending up in a boot loop after installing this. Not all have had this issue. That is why I am saying to use this at you own risk.

Thanks for the info, will add to opening.
Someone on TF posted this site: http://tablified.com/
Ran across the beta of BeyondPod on there...might have to invest in this one.
I have been using it for some time on my Thrive. It did however, cause a boot loop when I set it as the default launcher. Otherwise (knock on wood), it is working fine.

I haven't had any issues with VTL myself, guess I'm just lucky. Btw, does anyone else have a home replacement that is smooth and just as functional on a tab?
I'm using TINYPLAYER for my mp3's.
Its a pure player.
No Art work or search controls. Shows music by file name from folder you set. I actually like it like that. Has shuffle repeat and random. Also another cool feature is font re-size.
But one problem with it don't know if other are having same problem. When using the app and you initiate the g sensor that would reorient the screen the player give error about cant find the SD card. I play music when I drive so this really erks me. Bumps are fine but soon as I turn I get the error. I store my music on the SD card about 10 gigs worth.
where can i get the penpower chinese writing pad that works with thrive??
My Spider Solitaire should work without problems on Thrive: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.solitairespiderhd. It is designed for tablet screens (doesn't work on phones). I'm working on some improvements now (expect them next week). Am also working on another, more advanced game. Writing for Android is fun.

hey all, the not sure why it hasn't been said yet but adw ex works like it was made for the thrive. Very stylish seen transitions and I can't explain how fast it is (you need to try it yourself) it also allows you to use more of the screen unlike the stock. All widgets and are resizable, you can create as many or as little screens (I prefer to have received rather than the standard 5)

Thanks I'll be sure to check it out. I personally wonder how you have so many screens, I can barely fill 3 screens lol.
I installed Adw ex today after trying other stuff that wouldn't work and I really like it. Very smooth and adaptable. Im scared to try the other one, but I am sure they will update it to work with 3.1 soon.

Yeah, I haven't had any problems with the other one but I'm using ADW ex just 'cause it's smoother. But what bugs me is the little icon on the top left. My homescreen is generally black and white themed and the icon just sticks out so much lol.

I have a different tablet, but wanted to say I totally agree! You can disable it with the hide/show action bar widget, however it comes back with a 90° rotation (not 180). I've written anderweb, so hopefully this gets changed.

The new update replaced it with an App Drawer icon which doesn't stick out as much.
I made a game for tablets (works on phones too, but is best on tablets): Memory Owl HD (https://market.android.com/details?i...ry.memoryowlhd).
Also tablified.com has a great list.

I think I'l stop updating this list and there's already multiple websites that have app lists for tablets. Btw, the market link doesn't seem to be working for me.
This is a list of recommended apps to make your Android experience an awesome one.
I don't really post any games because... well, games are your liking and you get those depending on what you like xD
I'll be adding apps over time so keep on coming back and checking!
I feel like the Ace has a lot of apps and themes to choose from. Here is a list of the apps I believe are epicly awesome.
What's a phone without space and some right app management? For that, I recommend s2e. It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card. When I first installed it, it freed up 92MB of internal memory that I didn't knew what getting used up.
S2E: https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJ1LmtyaWt1bi5zMmUiXQ..
A pretty good ram manager for any phone would be Ram Manager. It keeps your phone running smoothly and worry free.
Ram Manager:https://market.android.com/details?...WFydHByb2plY3RzLlJBTU9wdGltaXphdGlvbkZyZWUiXQ..
For backups and more app management, I highly recommend Titanium Backup. One of the best apps out there hands down. You can batch move all your apps to SD, back up all your apps and system data or just apps if you like. Its so epic, it even backs up all the data on a game. Since I like to switch things a lot on my phone, I use a lot of back ups and Titanium always has me covered.
Titanium Backup https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
Now for themes; I highly recommend the ICS theme from AChep. This theme completely spices up your phone to the newest and fancy ICS. It changes up everything. Its the BEST ICS theme you'll find out there.
ICS Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313722
For some really awesome ICS live wallpapers, here are some epic ones;
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?...pZC5saXZld2FsbHBhcGVyLmljc2NsYXNzaWMubGl0ZSJd
And Ice Cream Sandwich Live WP: https://market.android.com/details?...kLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIuaWNzd2FsbHBhcGVyLnBybyJd
The second one is a paid app but its really worth the money.
Anyway if you want more kickass themes, check out this post! They rock
More Themes!:http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17567-list-cm7-theme-chooser-themes/
Afterwards, I present to you the awesome Roboto Font. They new font looks really cool and a different font gives a whole new feel to your phone. To install it, you must first install Font Changer, extract the font and put it in the Font Changer folder in the SD.
Roboto Font: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309621
Font Changer: https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5tYXJ0aW5vMms2LmZvbnRjaGFuZ2VybGl0ZSJd
Next up is an awesome add-on. It gives your status bar a whole new makeover with the ICS style. This add-on also hooks up your phone with the ICS transitions. In my case they're really fast and work wonderfully. Another epic piece of work from CM7.2's dev.
[ANIMATION][STATUS BAR] ICS for CM7.2 by J.A.F. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360899
To mess with your system files or just check out whats inside your SD, I recommend Root explorer or ES file explorer. Whichever one fits your taste.
Here's another ICS look changer! Themes your lock screen to the ICS style! Just flash it and everything will be fine.
ICS Lockscreen:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18603870&postcount=1
Root Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5zcGVlZHNvZnR3YXJlLnJvb3RleHBsb3JlciJd
ES File explorer: https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEwOSwiY29tLmVzdHJvbmdzLmFuZHJvaWQucG9wIl0.
Now if you want to get rid of all of those ads (Or mostly) I present to you AdFree. This app blocks out most ads from getting to your device.
AdFree: https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
Now, what's an ace with a whole bunch of customization but still with the same old bootanimation? Here's where this thread comes in handy; its one of the largest repositories of bootanimations. Pick one that suits your taste and enjoy!
Bootanimations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348731
If you like cloud storage; DropBox is what I recommend. The simple UI makes everything really easy to use. If you don't feel like going through the hassle of connecting your phone via USB just to pass a simple file, you can always DropBox it through your PC and download it to your phone. (Lazy, I know )

Here's the best notepad ever. The only issue I have with it is that you can't set it as a sticky note widget. But besides that, it does EVERYTHING you can possibly think of.
Evernote:https://market.android.com/details?...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ldmVybm90ZSJd
The stock gallery app is kind of slow and sluggish sometimes so here's a little something to speed up your picture viewing experience.

Now for web browsing... There's a whole bunch of browsers out there and I can honestly say I've tried them all except one I didn't download because I had the mini version already. Turns out that one that I didn't try was actually the best one. I'm talking about Opera. Opera is smooth, slick and speedy as hell. Its got decent features to use. If you want a max customizable browser, go for Dolphin HD.
Opera Browser: https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLm9wZXJhLmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
Dolphin HD: https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkubWdlZWsuVHVubnlCcm93c2VyIl0.
A new browser has been discovered. Its fast and the UI looks really good. Its called Nineski Browser.
Ninoski Browser:https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5uaW5lc2t5LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
For music, I really like Power AMP. The UI is very cool and it has a couple of themes you can use to switch it up a bit. The equalizer is pretty good too and it has some customization that could change up the way you listen to music on your phone. It offers a 15 day trial and then you have to buy the app. Its another one thats really worth the money.
Power Amp: https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYXhtcHouYXVkaW9wbGF5ZXIiXQ..
If you like to keep an eye on what your usage is, whether its data, calls or sms; Traffic counter is the one for you. It counts every single MB of data that enters or exits your phone and is pretty accurate.
Traffic Counter: https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jYXJsLnRyYWZmaWNjb3VudGVyIl0.
Here's another counter. This one details everything you can possibly know about your battery!

Now this next one will make your life A LOT easier. This next app can make a widget of almost ANYTHING you can think of in your phone. Its called Widgetsoid and it works wonders.
Widgetsoid: https://market.android.com/details?...rch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qaW0yIl0.
There are a lot of people having the "Insufficient storage available" problem when downloading apps through market, Here's a fix:

Here is another beastly app that EVERY ROOT/CUSTOM ROM USER MUST HAVE.Which ever one fits you. Point is, you need to have it.
ROM Toolbox:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&feature=search_result
I never thought I'd put this app in here because of all the flaws but they finally fixed it. Facebook 1.8.0. The update is completely in sync with the web version and everything just simply works wonderfully.
Facebook:https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDIwNSwiY29tLmZhY2Vib29rLmthdGFuYSJd
And well, if Facebook doesn't work for you, here's a complete (and better in my opinion) replacement!
Friendcaster:https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnlGcmVlIl0.
This next app speeds up the reading and writing speed of your SD card for less waiting time. If you're like me that waits an eternity for the SD to get scanned at boot, wait no more and install this!

LCD Density:https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iaXJkYXBpLmFuZHJvaWQuZHBpIl0.
I personally like having a loud phone. But since our Ace's speaker is a little too low, I fix that up with Volume+. Works wonders. There's a free and paid version. The paid lets you set your volume higher. Here's the link:
Volume+:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLlRFU1QuYW5kcm9pZC5sdmgiXQ..
This next one is a file manager. But I mostly use it to make back up apks of apps. Its Astro. If my friend wants an app I have, I just back it up and bluetooth it to him. Simple =D
Astro:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&feature=search_result
This next one is one I found out about recently since I didn't like the dialer of a rom I was using. Afterwards, it became my replacement dialer for every rom I use xD. Here's exDialer. Has some pretty cool themes too.

Yeah. There are a whole bunch of really good apps out there that people can't find. Glad I helped!
But I just realized you're using the Odexed rom version. Can you tell me what the difference is?
No idea what's the difference, it just feels the same to me, but then again I don't rely on Quadrant/Antutu so no idea on the performance

You should include sony's ICS too, since there are some difference to both themes, I'm just using AChep's one cos it feels better than it.

The odexed one has much more free space in data/app.
Anyway the roboto font can be flashed as a zip file to save the hassle.
Hey, I know it's not the place for it, but, since you seem to know a lot, I have to ask... Do you know an ICS theme for CM7.2 but in green instead of blue ?? I'm not a big fan of blue

I didnt know that phase beam live wallpaper was already released, now I got it and it goes like a charm on my ICS ace
Just to improve your ICS experience, I highly recommend 360 launcher, Ive been always a fan of GO launcher but Ive found this one and Im definitely in love with it. It has a ICS theme and it works perfectly alongside with those ICS transitions.

I didnt know that phase beam live wallpaper was already released, now I got it and it goes like a charm on my ICS ace
Just to add a better ICS experience, I highly recommend 360 launcher, Ive been alwasy a fan of GO launcher but Ive found this one and Im difenetely in love with it. It has a ICS theme and it works perfectly alongside with those ICS transitions.
There you go :

Why would you want to flash a font? You just install it through font changer and that's it. I've no idea about flashing fonts, just installing through apps.
If when instal font changer say me don't have right version busybody and then go very slow.

I have tried multiple weather apps and most are slow as you click the widget to see the details. I wonder which one is fastest among these apps?
Eye in the sky weather.

I like weather bug. The widgets are reasonably fast and their network of weather sensors is great in my area. I have one about a mile from my house so I know the temperatures I see on my phone are correct. Other apps I have used did not have sensors near so their readings were always off from what I was seeing on my actual thermometer.
I use WeatherBug Elite. It's really fast, accurate, and has alerts. I love it.
Eye in Sky is excellent. Fanastic UI, fast - really nice to use. I don't use it any more though because the weather forecasts/predictions were a little off here in Australia - some times up to 5 degrees off. As soon as this is fixed, hopefully by allowing weather data to be pulled from multi sources (for us Aussies the BOM is best) I will be reinstalling it straight away.
No love for beweather??? I've been using it forever and I like it more than anything mostly because of how it looks and performs. There's a paid version which includes widgets I believe and free version to try it out. I have paid version and the widgets looks pretty awesome.

I really want a weather widget myself and prefer rings digital clock widget but reviews say that it crashes on 4.2
I love fancy widgets. It's always accurate enough for me and has my favorite skins. So much customization you can make it whatever you want it to be.
I think it really depends on where you live. I used weatherbug in NY an now use eWeather HD in San Antonio, TX. I also use 1weather for my notifications even though eWeather has that option. I also use skymotion to check rain in the immediate area.
Everyone brings up a good point. It depends on where you are. I think accuracy is more important than speed. Whatever works for your area.

I have been really happy with weatherbug elite. I also like notification weather pro for a quick forecast.
This not a "weather' app but I use it all the time. Especially in the summer. Damn t-storms.
Raindar. It is old but works great. Launch it and it goes straight to a radar. I have had it set to launch by double tapping with nova launcher. App has settings for storm tracks and info.
Another app that does the tracking of storms but better is storm eye.
I also enjoy the always overlooked stock news and weather app. The sliding graph with temp and precipitation chance is great.
I've been reviewing a whole bunch of popular Android weather apps over on Google+.
The best UI is Eye in Sky but as others have already noticed, the weather provider used isn't very accurate, which is a real shame. Also, the guy who develops it doesn't have much time to spend on it at the moment so I'm not sure updates are going to be forthcoming.
So far I've looked at Google Now, AccuWeather, WeatherBug, WeatherPro, UK Weather, Eye in Sky and I have lots more to cover (including Yahoo!, Met Office and others). The one I'm currently using is HD Widgets. Not only are the widgets excellent, with a big selection of sizes, styles, tablet and 4.2.1 lockscreen support, but you can choose from three different weather providers. I heartily recommend it. Not sure it's free though...
The most accurate so far is between Google Now and UK Weather. The former is obviously UK only though. I wish there was a Holo-style widget for Google Now Weather... that would be awesome.
The biggest providers for other apps seem to be Yahoo!, AccuWeather, WeatherBug and Weather Underground. Most weather apps seem to use one of these so finding one that lets you choose is a real benefit as accuracy may depend on your country.

Sounds like you've done a bit of work.
Have you looked at Weatherzone or PocketWeather yet? Both are really nice. :good:
I'm always after new suggestions. But I do need to stop at some point and see if there is a clear winner!
So far though it's quite frustrating as some apps are accurate with a crappy UI or awful widgets, whereas others look amazing but their accuracy blow. Finding something that is good at both is harder than you think.
HD Widgets are experimenting with a new theme that looks like Chronus/cLock/Climaticons/Eye in Sky which could well be "the one" but if someone works out how to get a Google Now card into a choice of light or dark Holo widgets then I think I could stop looking.
PocketWeather and Weatherzone seem to be Australia-only though so not much use to me here in the UK.
Here is an app I came across that some might like, I had nothing to do with this just providing the link for others... Remember sharing is caring.

Also available on the Play Store for free, don't forget to thank the Dev... Happy flashing.
The app is really simple, but I figure there is at least a few people looking for something like this
I've got a S4 and I really like the Alarm/World clock/Timer/Stop watch all in one app. I recently got myself the Note 2014 but it's got different apps for Alarm and world clock. It does not even have have a stop watch or timer.
Can I get the original all in one app somewhere or else, what do you suggest?
Thanks, Lourens

I use Timely, It has all of that except a world clock but my favorite feature about it is that it syncs across devices.
+1 for Timely. Beautiful app.
I've had Timely on a previous Tablet but I did not like it. Even tough it is beautiful I prefer a much simpler design.
Just give me the numbers and leave the fancy designs.

I agree. Timely is a bit too fancy for my tastes.
Here is a simpler one that I like. It also has world clock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qine.deskclock
There are several others like this in the play store. Just do a search for Kit Kat Clock in the play store.

Alarm clock extreme has it all and has been my choice for a few years.
I use Simi clock for the widget

Maybe Samsung should preload it on all of its tablets?
Here's what will happen:
1. The Samsung clock widget has been replaced with a thinner, Nexus like clock widget.
2. The background is dark gray instead of white.
3. The clock has more tabs now.
Is root required? Definitely not!
Fema time is one that does it all in the one app, includes weather as well.

+111 for timely app.. it's awesome.
Gave timely today a little try. It's awesome
Alarm clock plus has been mine for 5 years now. Simple with a lot of options should you need them. I just wich it had a newer UI. I even went in and hacked the fonts last year to freshen it up

If you've got Google Now, ask it to set a timer, and watch what happens.

It sets a timer from the stock alarm app... And I don't know where to access that option...
Tab_S_SecTabletClockPackage.zip
use this;
Port_Tab_S_SecTabletClockPackage.zip
Available in Lollipop 5.1.1
Update your SM-P600 tablet to Android 5.1.1. Once you have updated, the clock app will show four tabs, ALARM, WORLD CLOCK, STOPWATCH, and TIMER, as shown in the following screenshot.
Root required???
