I am currently working on a version of my app, The Elements, specifically for the Adam and similar tablets. Currently this app is available in the Demo section or the Android Market. You should be able to transfer it to your tablet if the market is not available on your tablet. Because this will transfer straight into the finished product it does cost 2.99 (price libel to increase with introduction of Wolfram|Alpha API). For those of you who check it out, please send me your thoughts and let me know what you think I need to fix or add. Thanks.
Been doing a ton of work on this lately. Spending all my spare time on it basically. So far I've got the List section near finalization. It still has work, yes, but you can get a pretty good idea of what its going to look like when its done.
Again, please send me all comments. All are welcome.
Check it out here
Features
*All 118 Elements
*Information highlights (click on things like Atomic Weight to see what this is)
*Swipe navigation through elements
*Images of or relating to all elements
*Elements information from Wikipedia and Wolfram|Alpha
*List View is now functioning.
*Classic View is now functioning.
*Calculations, more of which if I can find I will add
*Anions and Cations
*Physical Constants
and more to come as I get it added.
Please Check Back Every Day Or So For Updates. As I Make Progress I Will Be Uploading New Images And Information And Will Be Looking For Prompt Feedback.
Thanks For The Support

this is really cool. Will give it a try.
Just downloaded. I'll give it a try.
It looks cool, but the Market won't let me install it on either my Droid running a Gingerbread ROM or my NI Adam running Beast.
Until fragments are added to everything below Honeycomb, only Honeycomb devices will be able to run it. Notion Ink is working on getting Honeycomb source this week so hopefully we'll be able to run it on our Adam's soon. Sorry about that.
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA App
So it just dawned on me earlier that I haven't been optimizing screen size to work well on devices bigger than my Adam. SORRY!!! I'm working on fixing this right now and hope to have it resolved soon. Hope it hasn't been to much of a problem for anyone.
Some of you might remember the app called SmartEndKey we developed for windows mobile 6.5 and alot of you guys here on xda used it. Thanks alot for that. We made your life a little bit smarter and we try to continue with free apps

Can you guys add mac support. Used it with my Windows laptop. Works flawlessly. Other thing, why is it free? Other applications like iclickr are a whopping $10. You could charge a dollar or two. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed, make sure the youtube links work. As they say, A picture is worth a thousand words so a video must be worth a million.
I use that site to check out achivements after I beat a story, There is always a video to show the easiest way to get it.
I got the video link to work in the application bar. So it will open the YouTube page of the video. I'm looking how to just implement the video to have no need to open the page and just watch the video. But with my programming knowledge, who know how long it will take.

Is it beta worthy ? I would love to check it out even it works partly. I found myself last night on trueachivements and xbox360achievements for about 2-3 hours to get another 175 achivement points
And yes, I have been addicted to achievements all of a sudden...
I look forward to this one...
I haven't released, because I'm only have Max Payne 3 and GOW1 implemented. If you want m to add a game that you working on right now, let me know via pm and I will add it and give you the app for now.

Games that I would want for at least for next month or so...
-Spec Ops: THe Line
-MW3
-MW2
-Black Ops
-Need for Speed Hot Pursit
-Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (yea, I know, older game)
-Forsa 4
These are the games in my current stack, last night, another 115 points on MW3 and Started BLOPS on Veteran for the achievements, Spec Ops should be here today, so that will be tonights game. And most Wp7 games...
For the last week, I have had a Mini Laptop (one of those netbooks) with me when I play, on one of the sites to go through each achievement one by one...
Do you have to do each game, or are you pulling data, so you can access their index ? What would really be cool, is if you can use trueachievements.com, as they pull your data from xbox live and will show each achievement you got and what ones you missed with tips and videos for each game.

Yep ! Got your PM and replied to it ! (sorry about any delay, I needed to rebuild my computer last night, so no time for XDA for me), it's party up and running now..
First post updated. Hopefully this weekend I release the first beta.

XAP Beta added to the first post.
I know your new at programming, I have been trying to learn too, I want to get there (got any advice ?). It would be great if you could find a way to index these sites and pull down the data directly from the xbox360achievements so you dont have to update it for every game.
The app looks good so far, just dont you, in time, getting board with it and not updating it (did not mean any offiense, life gets in the way), it also would make it easier, as you could update the app and not have to worry about adding every game, one by one...
I know what you mean, im just don't know how to do it at the moment. I'm trying to look how to do it but keep failing to find out. If anyone here can give me an advice it would be nice. Atleats what the process to learn.

A little practice, Try to find out what type of fourms they use there and then see if there is a way you can use that. Anyone who does a plugin of that type is based off the type of fourm they use.
And when it comes to computers, your always learning...
I'm on Vacation for a week, so no new apps (or achievements !!)for me..
I think im going to have to stop this project, because I can't get no permission to use the info from the website I used.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
It's too bad. I used it and tried to give it a shot but, with out the updated posts and content from the sites (with only one video), I found myself still sitting infront of my TV with a laptop to help get those achievements.
If you got permission from the websites and could index the posts with the links to the videos for each achievement, this would be great but, with out that it does not help too much and puts a high level of work for you.
Great idea though...good luck. I wish it worked out, I really do as this is something I would use....
Hi Guys
Completely new to the forum and registered 5 min ago. I'm a proud owner of a Nexus 7 but coming from Apple I'm not sure where to go next.
I'm sure many people have asked these questions in the past and yes I have looked through the forums as well as good old fashion Google but not seen a one stop shop.
Please could someone take the time and help me with the below?
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
7. Best Android browser (flash)
Appreciate it is allot of questions guys but I've posted on other forums to have no responses so Im really hoping the community will help me here.
Once again sorry for being a pain and hop this is in the correct section.
Thanks in advance

You don't need to do any of that. Just enjoy your tablet.
The stock ROM is great, the stock launcher is great. Look for the best reviews in the store.
I would start with ShadowGun Deadzone to see how great multiplayer gaming is on the N7.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadzone
After that, take a look at the editor picks on the play store.
There are also some offers on at the moment:

1. This is completely relative. My favorite or most used apps could be your least favorite and never used apps. Your best bet is to wander around in the Play Store and just experiment.
2. Nova and Apex aren't themes, they're launchers. They offer more customization options than the stock launcher. You can also theme with them, yes. Again, there is no such thing as "best" - there is only preference. I personally prefer Nova Launcher Prime.
3. It depends on what you are after. If tons of customization is your thing, then yes, go with a custom ROM, such as Paranoid Android. If no, you are just a casual user, the stock ROM does a superb job.
4. Depends on the person. I read articles on it, books, some games, Skype, etc.
5. Asus Supernote.
6. XDA, Google Play Store.
7. I personally just use Chrome.

For backing up I recommend Carbon. As it works with or without root. If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup but I've found it to be way more than I needed.
For browsing I use the default chrome. If I need flash I use firefox. You have to make sure you have flash installed seperately. See here for instructions. This works without root.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ofxPwmZULw
Some people recommend a custom kernel for better performance and battery lfie. Personally I have been very satisfied with a stock kernel and rom. I have rooted mine but I only use it to reset my bluetooth configuration because a gamepad I have sometimes doesn't pair properly. Somewhere on here there is a comparison of custom kernels if you want to check it out. I've forgotten where it is though.

I agree with CrazyPeter...
If as you say, you are a complete novice with regard to Android... for the time being, just forget about ROMs, BOOTLOADERs and ROOT. All that will come much later.
Just enjoy your tablet as Google intended... there's a whole plethora of interesting stuff on PlayStore to be played with first.
-----
Here are some of my 'core' apps, which I have installed on all my Android boxes (and would consider to be incomplete without).
QuickPic, CatchNotes (In which I'm typing this), Dual File Manager, Temple Run 2, IMDB, Apex, Opera Mobile (although the new WebKit version, Opera Browser Beta is shaping up to be a great browser).
When I got my first Android device in 2010, I spent six months just playing around with stuff available on PlayStore... (read the reviews and recommendations).
This was well before I even considered rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
I would recommend you do something similar, just to gain the experience of using Android... and read, read and MORE read, everything you can.
XDA is a veritable Aladdin's Cave of Android knowledge. Avail yourself of it.
Rgrds,
Ged.
1 - You need to find your own apps, no-one can tell you what you'll like.
BetterBatteryStats is an app I ALWAYS recommend.
XDA Forum App
Coin Drop
Jetpack Joyride
Fing Network Monitor
Falcon Pro (AWESOME TWITTER CLIENT!!!!)
2 - Apex is better than Nova on Tablet, Nova is better than Apex on Smartphone. (My favourite minimalistic theme : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcGV4Lm1pbmltYWwiXQ..)
3 - HELL YEAH - Get Paranoid Android, and Either M-Kernel or Faux123 Kernel and you'll be dribbling mate !
4 - I just use it whilst being a couch potato, others take it out and about but I generally don't. Browsing, Watching Youtube, Forums, Email, Social (Facebook/Twitter)
5 - I'm not sure on this one, maybe Evernote?
6 - Pfft, nowhere but XDA!
7 - AOSP Browser (Built into Paranoid Android)
Thanks for all the responses so far guys and gals!

Some/the most useful ones may need root
Oh and I highly recommend u root the nexus to unleash its full power
Definitely install multirom, it will allow u to multiboot different roms so u can test them out before deciding on one (or keeping them all). I personally multiboot a cm10.1 (android 4.2), paranoid android (4.1), and ubuntu (a desktop os). The reason for the 4.1 rom is coz its faster and less buggy than 4.2 , and "directory bind" app actually works - letting me run 16gb worth of android game files from a usb...awesome right?
Install flash player. google it to find the apk
use naked browser for flash.. Fastest and lightweight browser... great for flash

As what CrazyPeter said, just enjoy your tab and get all the juice you can from it. Everything will just fall into place if you want to experiment a little bit. I myself have not yet rooted or flashed custom ROMS but I'd probably will (to maximize my gaming experience). N7 is really doing well in gaming (Tegra 3 is a beast). I suggest, if you play a lot of games, go get an OTG cable and a PS3 controller or a controller built for Android (MOGA is really nice). These controller matches well with games like Shadowgun Deadzone and some pretty good console emulators (NES emu).
If you read a lot, there's a lot of really good readers (Adobe Reader, Kindle Fire) in the Play Store. Perfect Viewer is awesome for comics
You can browse the xda forums to help you with your N7 experience.
This thread helped me customize my N7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740482
This thread helped me try some of the awesome games at Play Store
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771129
Awww yeah, I've wanted to find one of these threads forever. Despite joining the forum in 2010, I only really started using my account when I got a Nexus 7 last Christmas, so I'm still a bit new myself. However, I think I have a somewhat impressive mass of some of the best apps/options available to a N7 power user. Especially what's been posted so far, no offense. Sure, usage is mostly personal preference, but comparing apps to find the best is what's most fun about a competitive apps market. Also, there's no reason to think that custom roms/kernels/recoveries will "come with time." You should just do it now and have an awesome tablet asap! It's basically impossible to permanently brick your device, and it's very simple to do this stuff if you just read instructions and threads before asking questions.
On that subject, if you have any questions, ask away!
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
Browsers: xScope (my fav), Dolphin, Firefox, Opera, Boat, AOSP
Launcher: Apex and Nova, lol
Music: PowerAMP, n7player, Google Music
Video: MX Player, Netflix
File Manager: ES File Manager (stream videos/media via wifi/LAN)
E-Books: Moon+ Reader
Word/Excel/PP: OfficeSuite Pro
Cloud: Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, Box, MediaFire, MEGA, Bitcasa
Weather: The Weather Channel
Misc: Beautiful Widgets, Reddit Sync (#1 reddit browser), TeamViewer, ShareKM (really cool), uTorrent+uTorrent remote, Changelog Droid, BetterBatteryStats
Games: Temple Run 2, Glow Hockey, TETRIS, Minecraft PE, ShadowGun: DeadZone, Dead Trigger, Jetpack Joyride, Major Mayhem, Robotek, The Shape Shooter, Cordy 1-3, GTA 3/Vice City, Cubes vs Spheres, The Impossible Game, Super Hexagon, Beat Hazard, Night Sky, Solar 2
Emulators: Mupen64 Plus (N64), Snes9x EX+ (SNES), FPSe (PSX), Gameboid/GBCoid (GBA/GBC), Gensoid (Genesis), there's a lot of emulators and they're easy to find.
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
I don't use themes because stock is the only really great looking one to me, but there's a Themes List in the Themes and Apps section of the forums.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
Roms, Recoveries, and Kernels are all very important when it comes to heavy optimization/customization on your device, and it's all very safe and easy on Nexus devices in particular, imo. They heavily impact functionality, speed, and appearance. Basically the Rom is what your operating system is, Recoveries are custom bootloaders that you can flash/backup/wipe/whatever with, and Kernels are like the backbone your Roms run off of.
I've tried a good few of the most popular roms/kernels, and there's a good reason they got that popular. TWRP is almost unarguably the best recovery you could get. ParanoidAndroid is outright the most used custom rom because of it's amazing customizable interface. M-Kernel is about the fastest by a margin and the developer is a cool dude. You can find these three (what I use) and a couple other good things in my signature. There's more detailed instructions if you just search around the forum or wikis or something.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
I'm just a generally unbusy teenager, so I use mine for browsing the web, videos, reading, navigation, social networking, gaming, GAMING, file management, even working on documents for school. I know the iPad has a good handful of excellent tablet apps that just aren't really on Android, but there's still not much limitation with what you can do versus a laptop. It fits in your back pocket and the battery is god damn excellent.
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
Evernote? I dunno. I don't really take notes.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
reddit.com/r/Android is alright, I guess. Most important news surfaces there, and there's the occasional awesome app that recently came out. AndroidPolice is cool. Honestly, I mostly just browse the hell out of this forum and find pretty rad stuff.
7. Best Android browser (flash)
The Android Open Source Project Browser, AOSP Browser for short. It's the stock Android browser for most devices, but for some reason Google decided flashless Chrome would be a better fit, despite being slower and more quirky. The AOSP browser isn't available on any official site, but you can get it Here. Flashing it is easiest, but you can do it with ES File Manager if you wanna feel pro. Also most roms tend to replace Chrome with AOSP or a superior flash-compatible browser, just as a heads up.

You're a quick learner, that looks great. What's the clock widget?

Those are actually rather awesome clock widgets, but there's this one that was created by a Google dev called "DashClock" and it's exploded with support and popularity as a suggested replacement to the current bland simple clock. If you search for it in the Play store, it'll show up with loads of optional extensions.
Basically it's like the stock clock, except it allows for extensions and it'll list weather, email, notifications, music, calendar events, alarms, any function you could imagine below it. Apparently a minimal-style list is easier to use than the stupid swiping left and right for additional widgets.
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
- Igag
- Currents (preloaded)
- Mx player is THE video player, it plays everything.
- cloud print, if your printer supports it
- almost every printer nowadays has an app to print and scan too, very useful
- use those 20000 songs you can store in Google cloud - play music
Saves space on N7
- dropbox
- es file explorer
- adownloader (torrent client)
That's what I use daily. Browse trough play store, most of the apps that you know from iDevices are available for android too.
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
Its called launcher, kind of like desktop replacement on Linux, but not really. Try the both, but only paid versions offer any real advantages over default launcher. I use nova prime.
Minimalistic themes are useless, they are not very productive, IMHO.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
No, not really. You will get a hang of it as you browse xda some more, but keep it stock for now, rooting it is worth it though, for example to remove adds.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
Emails, web, series and movies on the go, music player through Bluetooth adapter in the living room, news, games...
And navigation, once I get a suitable car mount.
Its also a great eBook reader, I use Mantano app.
I also use it for video monitoring my baby, using IP webcam on my phone and tinycam monitor on nexus7.
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
Search play store a little, I don't know, I don't use them.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
Xda is the best, other websites just steal from here mostly. You don't need any other, you belong to us now!
7. Best Android browser (flash)
Chrome for everyday browsing, Firefox beta does flash I think.
You have to find flash apk yourself though, I never need flash.
Try all popular browsers and decide for yourself. I did, and I stuck to chrome.

I hope I won't get into trouble by this. It's just a link to an article after all. And all the nudity is censored.
Checked it out. Best porn app I've seen free version and a 5 dollar lifetime axx for higher res vids.
Think I better get my card out lol

Since i couldnt post in the Android software dev forums, i will post here.
im making a webcam chat for android, and need testers with a nexus 7.
it is basically just a proof of concept at the moment, barely even a beta.
very minimal functionality, with some non-working features.
i would really appreciate it if people test this, and give feedback on what you do(nt) like, or would like to (not) see.
sorry i cant post "outside links",

Well, everytime I browse myfreecams.com its hard for me not to being able to use it on my Tablet. So I wanna say : go for it, it's a GOLDMINE
please pm the link! Thanks
Hey, PM and I can help u
pc compatible chat
i have uploaded an old chat which is compatible with the current droidchat proof of concept.
the "beta" droidchat will probably begin with a new framework and server code, which this will not be compatible with.
if you have flash player in your browser, here is a PC version.
feel free to make your own rooms and invite your friends. you will be in the same room whether youre on pc or mobile!
PC version:
whohacked.me/oldchat_2010/
this is a chat i made for a client back in 2010 when i wasnt so savvy at flash, so it sucks ... the new one will be much better!
I have started a room called xdachat if anyone wants to join, for testing purposes. I will be leaving it on.
I have to say, the only things that jump out at me as problems is text under keyboard (op already mentioned this), needs to be multitask compatible, and better interaction with keyboard settings such as auto capital, which does not seem to work within the chat app.
Having said that, I actually really like the layout. Simple, intuitive and to the point. Sometimes, too much crap can be stuffed in to an app, whick can convolute its purpose. This app does not have that problem. Really liking the ease and simplicity.

awesome, i appreciate the feedback.
i am still working on the new framework, so it might be a few days before any updates. i will post any updates and new releases here.
i will be periodically popping in and out the room for testing. leave the room open on the PC if you want, hopefully more of you will come in so youre not testing by yourself. testing with just one person in the room may not bring out all the problems.
please keep testing, spread the word and bring your friends. the more feedback, the better.
thanks again.
P.S.
i am open to any design suggestions. i can do the code, but not the graphics.
if anyone would like to help develop this app, i could use some help. you must be proficient in ActionScript 3, and/or Apache FLEX (formerly Adobe FLEX).
the server is written in Adobe Flash Media Server's "Server-Side ActionScript".

I will install on pc for continuous run. Constant run on device is problematic. Installed on my phone, but of course it scaled incorrectly. Will the new framework include multiple resolutions?

eventually... this was my original plan, but all i have atm is a nexus 7 to test with. so i am waiting for it to work properly before i mess with the layout.
i will also work on a portrait layout, and add an option to auto-rotate the nexus 7's camera when you change from landscape to portrait.

Cool deal. The alternate layout was more of an afterthought. I am running room name xdachat on the pc now, so it can remain continuous. If anyone wants to join in, I will be there. I may be away from the pc for a few here and there, but it will be open.
