How to launch Kobo? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps

Just a newbie question: how to launch Kobo without going into Reader's Hub? Thanks in advance!

You can install the standalone app from the market.

Yeah that's right. Thanks!
But it's weird that Samsung chose to bury it inside Reader's Hub, which I don't like at all...

Hey, I am immensely annoyed at how you were capable of spelling "alternatives" correctly but you were unable to spell "hey" correctly.
I accidentally the grammar.
If you are rooted, you can uninstall the CarHome app using Titanium Backup. That's what I did
I also got rid of it with Titanium Backup!

Go into system/app and see if you have anything there. IIRC there was 2 carhome.apk
carhomegoogle.apk and carhomelauncher.apk
What ROM you running?

I'm using CM7 nightly 232. I think I saw only one apk from those you mentioned...
thanks
I use Root Explorer to remove apk's from System/App for the things i have no need of. Car Home included.
tried freezing it in titanium backup instead?
Titanium Backup is the most useful app

[PROBLEM] Installed Apps not showing up

Hello..
First.. thanks to all in the DFT team for porting WP7. WOW.. you're skills are just incomprehensible!!!
Now, the problem I've got is that I've installed an app (Xbox live extras) and its not showing up on the program list.. However, whenever i go into the Marketplace to re-download it, it says its already installed on the phone. Is there a way to delete/reinstall this app?
Thank you

Thanks for the reply... unfortunately that doesn't sort it out
I should add that when i click on my avatar (in Xbox live) it goes to the marketplace and to extras. There, i get the option to check install, which i do.. there are no downloads in the queue.. Hmmm!!!!
I had this happen with a solitaire game. It did not show up in list after install.
No way to uninstall or reinstall if you can't see it.
Just wondering if anyone can help..
Thank you

hehe yes I know how to uninstall app, but I mean the unvisible apps.
Just to let you all know my solution...
I hard reset and started all over again LOL
For some reason the Xbox Live Extras program takes an AGE to install.. so this time i just left it overnight and hey presto!.. come morning time, it worked perfectly.
I'd still hope that someone will find a non hard reset solution to this problem..
i got this too, eveyrthign else is perfect but this just does my head in lol, i have a question over at ms answers also.

I had the same problem. some apps were invisible after install.
I restarted my htc hd2/wp7. then i could see and could uninstall them also. maybe this helps you
[SOLUTION] Stuck apps
To force an app to install so you can then reinstall, such as in my case and i think the ops where xbox live extras never installed properly. marketplace says it is but you cannot see it nor is it listed in downloads.
Unlock your phone with chevron, install xbox live extras from the Windows marketplace for desktop http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-908293.html
Than uninstall from phone by holding down on the icon in the games panel.
You will then be able to go to the item in marketplace and choose to install again.
This fixed my xblive extras and it's now working properly.

Market "fix" for my SGT Wifi version

i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi version and I tried doing a search for Yahoo Messenger in the Market but it doesn't give any result, says that 'no application found'.
but on my mini pro, Yahoo messenger shows up so i end up downloading it in my mini pro and transfer it via BT on my SGT.
any idea why it's not showing in SGT's Market? is there a way for me to be able to fix it?
I'm running Overcome 1.4.2 with Globe as my carrier and it shows up fine in the Market. Didn't see it on stock though.
i've heard of Overcome but i'm not sure if i can use that on my SGT since mine is the Wifi version.
here's what's going on with the Market that I have on my SGT Wifi version.
At first i thought that Yahoo Messenger is the only app that I can't find but unfortunately, I can't locate GO Launcher as well. It shows the Go Launcher themes but not the app itself.
So I'm assuming that there might also be other known apps that might not show. Is there a way to fix or patch the Market so that it would show the apps?
i've tried MarketEnabler, MoreLocale2 but it's a no go .. i've seen someone post a copy of Market here. if i overwrite the existing Market app, won't that cause a problem or will that fix the problem?
anyone?

found a temporary solution .. i've installed Amazon's AppStore, AppBrain and Applanet.
Appbrain relies on Market so that's really a no-go. Applanet works since it shows the files that I need, like, Yahoo Messenger for instance. It even shows the plug-in.
Get Super One Click v1.8beta under @ Android Apps and Games. It can root and/or market fix. Read my post towards the end for instructions on how to make it work.

non-market apps are enabled but the apps that i've mentioned above are still missing.

Can you side-load an app not compatible with your version?

Hey everyone,
Good old fashioned noob question here. Got my Nexus 7 and love it, but EA apparently hasn't released a version of Scrabble for it yet, as the play store say it's not compatible with my device. Guess I'd like to give it a shot installing it anyway and see how bad or good it is. This is possible, right? If so, how does one go about doing this?
Thanks
the best answer would be 'maybe'.
Yes it should install, but no it might not run

But how do you get it to install? App store doesn't allow you to download it.
thinking the same... wouldnt mind installing viber but the market says its not compatible with device...
Download the app to your phone, go into data/app, find the app then either move it to the sdcard then transfer it to your N7. A quicker way (if you have an online storage app) is to long press on the app in data/app, select "send", then send it to your online storage then download it to your N7. I use my Box account for this all the time.
Also make sure you check the setting to "allow installation of non-market apps"

Exactly what I've been doing
Easy way once you have downloaded it on your computer is to put it in your dropbox, open dropbox on your tablet, and install.
I used MyAppSharer to save the .apk from my Kindle Fire into my Google Drive and it sideloaded fine on my Nexus 7. It runs fine, but it doesn't use up all of the screen. Haven't tried the phone version yet, so if you do, let me know how it goes.
Most work fine. Some don't.

... and some, like the ASUS Weather Widget work- but you can't save your settings (like wanting the temperature to display in F rather than C) because the "Save" button is off the screen on the N7
I've done it with iReader and it works fine.
DARN! I did it, and it works, but it's tiny. Takes up like 1/5 of the screen. I bet the kindle fire version would be better than the phone version.
Well, thanks for the help everyone! Hey EA...if you're reading this, stop being so lazy and just release a version compatible with the Nexus 7!

Edit: I success capture already.
How did you install it? i see it on the play store but how did you push it to the gear?
So...
What use of posting this without method for how to install it..
Either you be co operative enough to share the installation method, or don't post at all..
That's so selfish if you just post without sharing the way and methods.

Here you go: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...real-apps-running-on-the-samsung-galaxy-gear/
To put it simply, enable USB debugging, connect the device to your computer using a cable, and then use ADB to install apps/push content to your device
Here's the apk for the free version of smart launcher https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjakgpyyj3che69/ginlemon.flowerfree-1.apk

Request - Keyboard video
I'm not ready to start pushing apps to my watch but I had a request for someone that did.
I'm wondering if someone can install the Fleksy keyboard & duplicate this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkXW2-uGezs by typing in well..any app just to show off typing on the watch.
Thanks to anyone in advance.

If I could find a copy of the keyboard that would would I would do this. Every APK i have found has frozen when I tried it.

I haven't tried their keyboard in a while, but I didn't remember freezing issues. Assuming we can eventually get something like sms working, wonder which keyboard - if any - would really be practical for a watch. If not Fleksy - wondering about Minuum or Snapkeys or Flit or something.

when searching in ES File Manager I use google keyboard and its working great so far. I cannot wait for my Omate TrueSmart to arrive, hopefully it will have a perfectly running fleksy keyboard that we can pull from the watch and run on the Gear.
On another note, I got the Fleksy keyboard loaded on the watch, but am having a hard time enabling it, there is no true Android Settings on the watch to change input.
Going to play around with ES File Manager and see if I can manually set it keyboard.
I tried smart launcher briefly, but ended up going with nova and deleted SL.
I have used Nova Prime forever in my phones (after trying every launcher available including the ridiculously overpriced POS Next Launcher)
I decided Nova was the best launcher for the gear watch also.

I tried Nova first, but with the last of widgets its kind of hard to see what time it is.
Once we get a custom "ROM" on here I will go back to Nova, until then SL is working pretty well

Well. I use the stock TW launcher for everyday use as I like the clocks etc. you get from TW.
I switch to Nova when I will be doing more app switching......
So far I've tried Apex, GO, Nova, ADW, and Smart Launchers, and I'll be sticking with Smart. It's the only one that keeps the clock on the home screen. Loaded UP Icons as well and have been using those.
Now if only I could figure out how to get the Pro version of Smart Launcher on the Gear. I purchased Pro for my Note 3, but can only export the Smart Launcher Pro folder from the Note 3, and can't drop that back into the Gear. Any ideas? Would like to toy around with some of the features (mainly the other color options).
