Genius is free tho! o:

I would have to say GMote. It talks seamlessly with your computer, so that you have your entire music collection with you. It streams rather well... Its nice when you have a Multi TB music collection.

do you mind me asking how do you have yours set up? i was only able to get it to work via my home wifi connection (same goes for all of the "remote" apps, ie. remote desktop & rdp, phonemypc). but i need it to work from a remote location.

before the last update google maps had me off by quite a bit now its dead on and I dont lose signal as often either....

Head to DynDns.com and set up DNS account (free). Have it tied to your ip address. Then, for gmote settings, instead of your internal IP, put in your chosen web address.

Nextel eat your heart out!
My fav is the app called "tikl" it is just like nextels PTT system but for android and doesnt use your minutes! international calling say what? lol its beta and free atm... I would pay for an app that is just like nextels ptt... the beta is good but it could be better... hint hint devs!

Maybe not very exciting, but I've found I can't live without LauncherPro.
For more neat-o factor, c:geo and Robotic Guitarist.

camera 360
i use so many useful apps all the time for different things I have my favorite app of the week. Camera 360. There is free and paid. you can take a photo and it will add effects that the stock camera does not. It can take the picture and "sketch" it so it looks as someone drew it. it also does that with painting which is neat. it will also add a ghost into the pics just for fun or creepy with kids or something. It's fun. I paid for the app after using free and it adds the ability to take a b/w photo with color added to just one spot or something. it is neat.

tried the camera 360 but it drained my battery fast I still use it from time to time.

[Q] Android Image Editing App for G-Tablet?

One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!

I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.

Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Market claims that while my Nexus One is compatible, that the G-tab isn't. Have you been able to run it on the G-tab?

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.

I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it

Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

OK, bought Root Explorer, and updated my Build.Prop. Took 24 hours, but the market finally recognized my Viewsonic as compatible with the Autodesk app, and I FINALLY was able to buy and install. The controls aren't the most intuitive, but it does exactly what I needed it to. Thanks!

SPB 3D Launcher On GTAB?

Anyone try this? The full version launched today looks awesome! I got the APK but I am still waiting for my gtab, installing on phone now =D

For wat its worth, I installed it on my Incredible and pretty much ruined my phone. All I got was a black screen and I had accidentally clicked the box saying "Use SPB3D everytime" so I couldn't get around it. Luckily I had a nandroid backup...

Tried on my GTAB even though the page on the Android market says tablets are not supported..
And yeah.. no go..
It also didn't work with my Nexus One.
Bummer I was waiting for this to come out.
=o(
Edit: See post #6

no go for me as well...

I used SPB aoftware previously, and loved their UI. As far as this new 3D launcher, SPB noted that they do not support tablet platform.

It Does Work on the GTAB (sorta)
This is a demo video of SPB Shell 3D Beta
This is a modified fixed version for incompatible devices
I HAVE TO STRESS THIS NOW!, I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I bought the paid version for my N1 and it didn't work at first but my 15 mins expired so I wound up keeping it. I flashed CM7RC4 and tried it again and it worked so I'm happy about that.
But the curiousity was killing me so I had to try it out on the GTAB
Sorry about the wobbly video, I used my N1 to record.
The launcher does have its drawbacks:
I have yet to explore the launcher completely so there may be more drawbacks I haven't discovered yet but it does not support live wallpaper and it does support auto rotate while in desktop mode
So there you have it.. It does work on the GTAB.. sorta!

The interface looks kinda cool. I don't know how functional it is or if I would use it though.
How did you get it to work on the Gtab in any case?
I had no luck with vegan 5.5.1 and Clemsin's kernel.

After getting the apk file on my device.
I closed all data connections (Wi-Fi, 3G, 2G, EDGE) all outside internet connections.
Installed the apk. After installation was done I pressed the home key.
A dialog window popped up asking which launcher I wanted to use.
I chose SPB.
The software proceeded to load.
A dialog window popped saying the software was not activated and would I like to activate it now?. I chose Yes.
Since there was no connection to the internet activation skipped an it proceeded to finish loading the software.
A dialog window popped up saying my device was not supported.
I pressed ok and it closed ( it went back to ADW-EX )
I powered down completely, then started my device.
Upon completion of startup I slid the unlock key and a dialog window popped asking what launcher I wanted to use. I chose SPB.
With all data connections still closed the activation window popped up again.
I chose yes, the software loaded and another dialog window popped saying my device was unsupported.
I waited a few minutes before pressing the OK box (around five minutes)so the software can continue to load in the background.
I checked the OK box and Bingo.. my desktop had SPB loaded and working,
the process is tedious I know..
Just to point out I take NO CREDIT for this. I found the fixed apk floating around the web with instructions on how to install and decided to give it a try.
And again I need to stress this out.. I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I tried to find the site with the instructions but it was apparently pulled yesterday shortly after I got SPB working.

Works for my incredible.
Drawbacks
1. Non-rotating
2. Icons automatically move up. Meaning you can't place them anywhere.
3. No 4x4 weather unless you use the panel one.
4. Can't resize anything.
5. Other things I'm sure, but I'm at work so I had to make this post snappy.

That's a good point, I'm not exactly sure if the gtab is HDPI or MDPI (mdpi I think), but I did manage to get it working on mine so I'm very happy about that.
Checkout the youtube video on post #6

seem nice, but too pricey, SPB used to be good on wince, they can make great app but 15$ without at least a trial is a no go for me...

There are actually several different names out there for the modified apk but the one I can remember off the top of my head was Spb_Shellfix.apk from "mydroid.info".

No, but I don't like using my tablet in landscape anyway because of the poor viewing angle, so that works out well for me. I don't think SPB Shell runs in landscape anywhere, though - does it?

It's really just a customized Autodesk Sketchbook that's modified to work with the K1 more efficiently.
I don't think it would help to pull it. If you really want though, I can send it your way to see if it works for you.

GIve the Corel Painter app a try. They have nice physical media effects.
Dabbler probably isn't going to be compatible with the Tegra Note or Samsung Note, since it is either reliant on the K1 SoC, or has software checks that prevent it from running on other SoCs.

I have clover paint https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fareast.CloverPaint&hl=en
It's so good that I asked the dev if the $20 tablet UI add-on would work with the tegra note, they said no, I got it anyway, and it works. I was only gonna get it to give the dev more money but not only does it work it's the best UI ever. The painting itself (if you read up on it you can see the praise but in short) is the bomb. I got the directstylus pro pack and am completely skipping over this gen of tablets I'm just sticking with my tegra note and clover paint and my next tablet purchase will actually be based on what the clover paint developers use I guess either when my note dies or when I want a bigger screen. I originally was 100% intent on gaming for android which is why I ended up with the tegra note, boy am I glad it had another use.
If you do use clover paint you gotta go into the stylus settings and at the bottom do the automatic pressure detection, just press down as light and as hard as you plan on, basically drag it around and practice your strokes until it's done. The one problem with it right now is it's the most advanced program ever made but there's no documentation, so for example I have the pro stylus so that's two tips, then I have a third stylus which is one of them round wire tips and each time I switch I do the auto pressure, but maybe one day there'll be stylus profiles it's really, really confusing, I think it's the language barrier, but holy moly macaroni if you like to art you better try it and you better actually get to know it before deciding you don't like it a good example is to take the oil brush and see how it mixes colors and smudges it and then you can cusotmize brushes to no end with stuff like smudging and mixing and outlining and I don't know if you're trying it yet but if you're not why aren't you go sjust go forget this post and just go

I'm pretty sure that Nvidia created Dabbler to only be used with the K1 processor. It was a way for them to show off how powerful it really is in a fun, neat way.
Pretty sure I heard that in a demo somewhere.

I don't know if there's any way to run dabbler in other devices but I randomly realized that the handwriting recognition app Shield has installed by default is an actual app that can be downloaded from the playstore. I had asked a friend if she knew a good handwriting recognition app before I got my Shield and by the time she sent me the link to the app I had already gotten my Shield so I saw right away it's the exact same thing! It's called MyScript and it's in beta. Here's the link if anyone wants to try it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.stylusmobile.v3_2_store
I saw you uploaded the recognition app too and thought maybe this could help.
