Always imagined Docs and Maps being kickass apps if Google was to put any effort for them for the Android platform. Now that we have navigation perhaps we can expect a Google Docs app sometime in the... near future? Maaaybe sometime before Flan arrives?
I'd love to be able to view/edit doc/xls files. If Docs gets hooked to my phone, I'll actualy start using it.
-bZj
you can access google docs on ur browser.
can edit, just can't upload and download.
its hard to edit xls files tho using phone browser.
There's tons of mscrapola document editors for android.
What we NEED is the ability to edit OPENDOCUMENT ISO/IEC 26300:2006
The application's web site seems to me to have circular logic when it comes to installing the AppBrain app itself on the gTablet. After a frustrating week, I am asking for help. What am I doing wrong? I do have a validated account.
A side question. Is it worth the effort to install?
Thanks.
Tom
AppBrain is a Market filter and search index not a repository
The device must be open to the regular Market for AppBrain to work. In other words, Market must function correctly first, then AppBrain should work under "normal" Android conditions.
I appreciate your reply but I don't understand what to do. All I want is a direct link to the apk file for "mydlink Lite" to see my wireless cameras, but all I find are QR scan images. I haven't figured out how to make that work since I have a Blackberry phone. It shouldn't be that complicated.
Do you have Market installed on your tablet. Not "gmarket" but "Market". Are you running a stock tablet? Without the market installed on your tablet appbrain won't work.
EDIT: If you install the Market, the app you are looking for is available

My tablet is stock and only the gMarket is installed. Thanks for the pointers and I'll do the reading you suggest. No WiFi on the cross-country train travel so I'm just catching up with everything.

I've never used it, from what I've read, Appbrain doesn't have the APKs themselves. It's just a way to see what's in the Google Marketplace. So, when you find something on Appbrain, and want to get it, you actually end up getting from the Market, not from Appbrain.

My NC is auto-nootered running the newer Market and I love it.
But I hate that I can't get all the normal apps via Market. Amazon and Trillian are the two I've noticed so far. Amazon is only for the US Market, so I had to download an APK for it that won't update. As for Trillian, I can't even find a an up-to-date APK.
I've tried Market Enabler, which hasn't done a damned thing. I can see both Amazon and Trillian with AppBrain, but when I click Market it just says that the target couldn't be found.
How can I/we get access to these apps, installed via a real Market so they can update? I'm fine paying USD$4.99 for Trillian.
Thanks all.

You have to install AppBrain and Fast Web Installer from the market on your Nook. Run Fast Web Installer once and click "Allow" -- You can then find and install the protected apps using appbrain.com (not the app). Then go into the AppBrain app and sync then install the protected app on the Nook.

"Google has made fast web install impossible in the latest upgrade of the Android market, which is installed on your device."
So ... I guess this can only be done with the older Market app? That's a shame, but better than not being able to use those apps I suppose.
Will the apps be able to update themselves if I install them this way? Or will I have to go back to the website every time?
Apps everyone has gotten working on Honeycomb on the NOOK and how they got them working.
The following have been tried so far.

after you hit enter, nothing really should happen. but then go to the settings of the browser, and you'll see a new debug menu. you can change the uagent string in there.

Winamp too...
I have Zeam running. It is my preferred launcher. Had to search for the apk online because it's not in the Market on HC. Installed via ADB. Had to go to Preferences - General - and check sensor rotation to make it rotate when the NC was rotated.
Seems to work just fine.

I also have Engadget running from the Market (although most videos still don't play)
Aquarium Donation Live Wallpaper downloads and installs from the market - although settings cannot be changed for some reason
XDA Developers app downloads and installs from the Market. Seems to be REALLY slow for me for some reason though.
For those that have loaded the Nook.app, have you actually been able to load and read a book? I have installed the Nook app on two different Honeycombed units. The units will synchronizes with my Barnes and Noble account and I can download my books. I can then select the table of contents sections of the books and even see my bookmarks in a book I am currently reading. However, when I then select a section to read (like Chaper 1 or a bookmark), all I get is the spinner on a blank page indicating the book is loading without any page ever appearing. I have left it try to load as long as 15 minutes on both Nooks without an actual page of the book ever appearing.

It definitely is buggy. I had to log out/log in again for my library to reappear. I've been able to d/l a book - but when I click on it I just get the spinner on a blank page. I can interrupt the spinner by clicking the Settings softkey and going to the table of contents. Clicking on a chapter gives me the same results you're seeing.
I'm going to say that, at least for the two of us, the Nook app is a no-go on HC right now.
Pocket Legends from their website does not install, says "your app was not installed"
It's not in the market, anyway to get all apps to show up in market yet?
Sweetness on my Nook!
Ran Honeycomb 2g image all day today, showing off at work. It ran well enough to use internet and install some apps on my breaks . So far got Market to work correctly by wiping market cache and framework data followed by a reboot.
Working Apps so far include:
Winamp
Zeam
Perfect Viewer
Jorte
Dolphin HD
So far the only program that hasn't worked fully is Beautiful Widgets, but I only tried one widget so far.
I am very impressed with the progress of this development process. Kudos to everyone involved. Amazing work and thank you!
Thanks for the list
Launchers are flaky, but usable
I have been trying to duplicate the problems w/Launcher Pro and ADW, but both seem to work OK after a reboot. After installation both hang when invoked, eventually presenting a 'force close/wait' dialog, but this no longer happens after the first reboot. Can someone w/problems try rebooting to see if it helps?

I am unable to get n64oid on my G-tablet, I have the VEGAn rom, beta 5.1.1... I have applied about every market fix I can find however I am unable to find it in the Market. If I go to the web browser and go to the market that way, I can find it however when I click install it comes up with the window to select device however it wont let me select my gtablet (says its not compatible...). Has anyone else had this issue? I have searched through these forums and also google to no avail. Please help. Thanks!
Brandon
I was able to get it first time. But I hear that sometimes repeating the fix lots of times can help

I'm in pretty much the same situation. I have a gtablet that I got a couple of weeks ago and I'm running Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 on it.
When I go to the market through my web browser and try to purchase/install N64oid I see this:
Choose device on which to install
Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
This item is not compatible with your device
And when I use the Market app and try to search for N64oid in the market it just won't find it.
I've had mixed success so far being able to find apps compatible with my gtablet with Vegan on it. For example when I try to search/get Pulse (rss newsfeed app) I have the same exact problem I have with N64oid - the market says it is not compatible with my device. Kind of frustrating.
I had read it might be possible to download these apps with another android device that is compatible with the app and then sideload it onto my gtablet? Not sure about that. (And I don't have another android device anyway).
I got it in the market on vegan
i couldn't get it to show up on my gtab in market (stock 3588 plus enhancement pack) so i used my my captivate ran mybackup pro with superuser access. you must save apk and data or it won't work on your gtab just force close.
once loaded on my gtab i did a little comparison with my captivate (tegra 2 vs hummingbird) while most of the roms that loaded on the humming bird platform a few ran poorly and some to the point of unplayability like star fox 64. however the Gtab never hiccuped on a single game that loaded. mighty nice i must admit...makes me want to get a new fone with tegra 2.
