Any recommendations for Twitter apps?
I use tweakdeck on my Galaxy Nexus and used Tweetcaster on my Transformer Prime, but I am trying to get used to this form factor!
Cheers

Twicca with the white theme. Very pleasant surprise considering how hit and miss twitter clients can be.

Plume. The landscape columns are perfect for me concerning list management. Only reason I haven't looked for another Twitter client with decent tablet features.

Official Twitter, despite having no tablet UI.
I'm very particular about twitter clients, I would be using Twica if it would show replies to somebody's tweet - which it doesn't. And a bunch of other clients don't show trending topics or look downright ugly.
Thanks for the replies, I am trying out TweetLanes!

Glad I saw this thread +1 for tweetlanes! Have been using plume for a while, but really digging the ui of tweetlanes.
I'm using the normal twitter app, do notifications work on any ICS or JB rom?

TweetCaster Pro on my Galaxy Nexus had that functionality and I can't get it on the tablet. If I'm missing something please let me know.
I really wish there were more choices with TweetMarker support besides just that and Plume. Tweetbot is by far the iOS app I miss most on Android, I only hope something can compare eventually.

Scope, use it for tumblr and twitter.
Is there a Twitter client which synchronises your position in your timeline over multiple devices? For example, if I check my timeline on my phone I then have to remember how far I got when I later check it on my N7, and then repeat back and forth every time I use the other device.
Oh wow, nice - I missed that he updated his app for the N7!
Haven't tried it on my N7 but I like Ubersocial on my phone.

You're looking for TweetMarker support and so far your only two options are TweetCaster and Plume. Note that it has to be enabled in settings on both devices before it'll work.

Currently using the official app and Scope if I want to share on Facebook at the same time too.

I'd been using Plume for a while on my Desire and never come across this functionality. Have just added Plume to my N7 and it works a treat. Thanks
I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

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.

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.

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!

Oh, I've been using the premium version far too long to remember that. The only downside with Mantano is the price I guess.

I don't care about price. I like to help out development of apps by contributing to the Dev. $7 could be wasted on something else, so why not an app that I like?

Most of my time in nexus 7 is spent on reading and annotating PDF files. There is unfortunately no single PDF solution. My favorite is ezpdf reader. Lots of options for editing PDF files. I also use repligo and iannotate . must say most are not free.

Until that time, iAnnotate is the best in my opinion, it's free.
Of course ezpdf reader is the best.

So far I'm not having much luck finding a pdf annotating app I like. I've tried iannotate and ezpdf reader which either crash often on me or load pdfs and page turns slow as balls.

I use ezPDf. It has been consistently the best for doing everything from highlighting to written annotations.

Same here on my Note II (basically the same hardware and 4.1.2). Works good for me. I haven't received my Note 8 to try it yet...waiting for the 3G version.
Maybe you have another app or process running that is conflicting or causing lag? I uninstall any apps that I don't use on a daily basis and don't use live wallpapers. My Note II is rooted, but running the stock ROM.

Qpf Notes is the best I have tried and used. I use it on my note 2 every day. I use it to note site maps created from google maps, coolect signatures, fill in diocuments, note existing documents for future changes, and besy of all it has allowed me to be completely paperless in a paper dependent company.. It is perfect for me. Very well supported with updates and improvements. It is a paid app, but if you need somerhing capable of doing this tge price is very low. I love it.

I bought QPDF, RepliGo, EzPDF...
None they all look the same, but I found EzPDF rendered each page faster than everybody else.
RepliGo was better designed, but every page showed up blured at first and then it would finish rendering.
QPDF have a weird scroll system, but it loads multiple pages at once
So i'm sticking with EzPdf for now
Annotating PDFs
Hi guys,
I have just released a new slim pdf annotation app that targets those of us who want to annotate while we are reading documents. This app is not for note taking (for those who need that I recommend Papyrus).
My app is the slimmest PDF reader, with pen and marker annotation, I have seen. It is easy to use, and it allows you to annotate and highlight as you read. Exactly as you do on paper. It is extremely easy to switch between the pen and the marker; and to toggle colours.
Also – the app recognizes the difference between your finger and the stylus. Fingers are used to move, zoom and erase. The stylus is used to annotate.
A free version of Stylus Annotator is available on Play. Please try it and rate it.
