Good news - Swype has a new open beta!
Bad news - Tablets (including the G Tablet) are not supported.
I installed the beta installer and got the message that my resolution was not supported. It said as much on their site, but I thought I would try it anyway.

Yes, I just went through all of that too ...
That's odd, seeing how the Swype from the Galaxy Tab works on it...
Looks like they're focusing on phones for this beta. From their web page:
HVGA, WVGA, and WVGA854 Resolutions - don't worry we'll detect this automatically. Sorry, no QVGA
got the new swype beta on my Gtab.
I managed to get the current swype beta apk from my N1 installed onto my GTAB using the "Send Application" feature from the "Bluetooth File Transfer" App I found on the Market but sadly it will always FC when I try to use it.
Yeah Swipe would not run my my g tablet. But Swift Keyboard and Thumb Keyboard do work.
I did get Swipe to work on my eLocity A7.

Yeah, I've been using the one for the Galaxy Tab that is posted in the tegratabs site for about three weeks without any issues.
I did that after I signed up for the beta and got the same message from them. I have also tried the Swype.apk from my Droid X phone without success before using the one off the tegratabs site.
Swype
Swyping away ! Thanks all... the link in the other forum worked no problems! This tablet rules!!!
help with some programs not installing after swype mod
I have swype working but I ran in one error. When I go to marketplace and try to download or install though akp file some programs wont install now.
A example of this is zomiebooth. If I boot up w/o swipe (Vegan 5.1) zomiebooth will install and run just fine. If I am running with the mod that allows swype it see my tablet as a different tablet which I think is a samsung and keeps the programs from installing.
Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?
Thank you again

Problem with trying to find the right version from GameLoft is there are several different devices to choose from. Each is a different software version to match hardware. Unfortunately I'm not sure which device this version matches.
Will post link to the Archos forums, where I found it. (had it installed on my Archos 70it, and tried it on the GTAb to see...to my pleasant suprise.)

No, but look up Pocket Legends...is an online MMO like WoW. And free to download / play...hafta pay for add-on stuff tho
downloaded it, can't get it to download the files or w/e, did you unmount the sd or something? i'm very confused.....
i wonder if any versions of NOVA will work.
Downloaded it and tried it out, looks gorgeous on our tablet, I really like it!
Thanks for the suggestion!
It's free here...but which version works with the g-tab?
MOD EDIT: Links to sites with warez not allowed.
I found this and all of the gameloft games for download on a certain site so I'm tryin it out. Did you use the Galaxy S version of 3.4.7 or if not, which device did u use? To find any of these just google android underground and take it from there I'm just stuck between Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab versions of things lol I'll report back once I finish testin
didnt install right for me got it to download but no readable txt past initial menu, it's like stuff isn't loading or is missing.
So which version for G-Tablet?

3.4.7 according to original post
Confirmed 3.4.7 works really well. The download screen and some of the title screens are not stretched properly but as far as a quick test goes the game itself was working great.

None of them work -- I tried every one...
I can confirm that v3.4.7 will load up and initiates a download of the extra data (232 MB!) but it seems to be the wrong resolution and not even centred on the screen...
Still testing though...
Update: Was just the splash screens that are odd -- once past them the game goes full screen...
Where did you find 3.4.7?
i found it, however none of the text is legible once i start playing, and there are objects and whatnot missing

using clymson's rom ontop of vegan 5.1 here (also have chenglu's quadrant loop feedback loaded as well)
I'm also on Vegan 5.1 -- but with the stock kernel...no other hacks installed yet...
Again, none of the links from MyDigitalLife work -- only 3.4.7 and above work...
So you can try getting it from Gameloft directly on a phone and then side-load it into the tablet -- as long as it is 3.4.7 or later...
The build I found was listed as being for "other phones" (whatever that means)...There are some newer builds available but I haven't tried them -- I stuck with 3.4.7 since it was stated that it works.
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!

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.

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".

Has any one bought quickoffice pro for smartphones or HD? if yes, what rom are you using and how is it?

someone asked this same question just recently and all I can tell you is that I have Quick Office on my nook (not pro, it's an older version no longer (or never was) on the market i got a year and a half ago, by the same company) and it works great. I assume pro is just the upgraded version of it, although I can't confirm for sure....it looks almost exactly alike. Also, I use it more to create new documents and not import ones from a computer. I've heard not all formats work on it.

Try rebooting yet? I never got anything to show on Extras without a reboot (after installing apk).
I tried that a few times no luck
I do see it under SU- manage apps it is there!
I'm able to launch it thru task killer, but would like an icon on extras!
I bought the app from the Marketplace.
I bought it for my DroidX and it just works on the NookColor.
I used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock/limited version that comes on the Nook.

hmm did not know titanium was able to freeze an app, I simply use task killer to terminate the read only version and then run full version... Guess I'll just have to use a launcher to get things going.
I actually bought the latest HD version directly from the developer/publisher yesterday (with a promotion it's only $9.99), but it won't install on the NC, presumably because it's built explicitly for 3.0 and I'm on 2.3 (CM7). I saw that there's an APK floating around out there, but given that they're offering a pretty solid office suite for $10, I prefer to give the developer their due. Having said that, if I can't get it to work on my device... Does anyone know if it's possible to get the latest commercial version for tablets to work on NC with CM7?
I'm using the pro version. I can confirm it works perfectly on CM7. The Google docs integration is great. I use mostly spreadsheets and pdf and it's great - I recommend it.

I think this will take a little getting used to but it installed properly right away, I enabled it in the settings and then switched to it and said hello to some people in #xoom on irc.freenode.net
Anything in particular that needs to be tried out?
I have been using thumb keyboard since I got my wifi zoom on the release day, just installed the beta. Will use it and see what I can find. I do like the new location for the .com button. And the multi touch is pretty sweet.
Sorry for the newb question, but how does multitouch help this keyboard? I've been using the regular thumb keyboard and it works fine?
nevermind I got it now
Thanks op working great on landscape enjoying my xoom even more!

ATM it doesn't work properly with the gtab yet but heard the dev is working on it.
The one on the market is the old one I think I used the one the op linked.
I thought that I would have trouble not using an android without swype (tried swift key too) but this keyboard is amazing and feels more secure holding my xoom with 2 hands when typing rather than holding with one hand and swyping with the other. But who knows what swype might bring but for now this will be my main keyboard.

Cool, I will be checking it out.
Absolutely love the new layout and functions. Much much better than the one in the market. Love the Shortcuts feature, makes loging in that much easier. Can't wait for full version.
@appelflap: I'm loving the new beta. Multitouch is a very welcome addition! I appreciate all the work and creativity you've put into this app - it's made my XOOM a real pleasure to type on. Hope the market sales are treating you well.
@appelflap Keypress sound is not working on my Xoom with the beta. Checked to make sure it was turned on. Still no sound.
Nice! Is there a tab button? I don't know if this is expected behavior but the long-press (secondary keys) don't do anything when caps or caps lock are on.
@appelflap. False alarm. Rebooted and sound is back.

It is working, but in this beta only the default Xoom keypress sounds are implemented. These are loud enough when you lay the Xoom flat on the table so the speaker can reflect them. But are hardly to hear when you hold the Xoom in your hands.
In the final release the sounds of the current market version will return. These sounds are a lot louder.
------
@ all Just released a update of the beta, with some fixes and some small additions.
Hi all,
I take absolutely no credit for this to work on Xoom, it's due to the great work of hhspiny who extracted the files from his GalzxyTab; and kevinmajlo who is kind enough to alter some code which solved the FC issue.
Bear in mind that since this app is not optimized for Xoom, don't expect the resolution to be on par with its ipad counterpart. Nevertheless it's good for now until the official version for Xoom comes out.
Here's the installation sequence (you need to sideload all files):
1. Download the 2 attached files
2. Install ReaderHub.apk
3. Install zinio-fixed.apk
After installation completed click the "ReadersHub" app, choose "magazine" and viola!!
Enjoy everyone! Please drop a note whether it works or not for your device.
[Update] For those who would like to be informed regarding the official app, Zinio has placed a link in its tweet. Here's the link:
http://www.jotform.com/form/10865816794
Thank you all involved. Shouted with respect
OMG thank you. I just sold my iPad and have been using Zinio on my small iPod touch screen. Now I have it working on my Xoom!!! Thanks so much.

I'm on a Xoom 3.1 - installed readershub first, then zinio. Made it as far as logging in, I get the tip box, then it goes into an FC loop. Any thoughts?
How I fixed the FC close issue is turned off the tips. Once I did that, FC issue went away.
keeps fc on my xoom.android 3.1
I used Zinio from the G2X dump and it works perfectly on my transformer. It's the full app where you don't need to samsung's reader hub in order to view magazines. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=12
I've been looking at Zinio's twitter feed and it looks like there's progress being made for a Zinio honeycomb version including a tweet by what looks like a developer for Zinio asking for people who have android tablets. Maybe the devoper is asking for beta testers?
Yah. The games on the iPad were nice but I'd forget I even had one and would go for weeks without using it. Having an EVO, iPod Touch 4, and a Xoom was too much. I can't browse or multitask on an iPad (Mobile Safari sucks and having to click the home button twice to view open apps is a chore). No point in keeping the iPad when everyday the value decreases as more and more iPad 2's are available. Sold it when it was still sellable.
Ok, so I uninstalled zinio and readershub, and now i'm trying to reinstall them both. Readershub installs just fine, but for some reason zinio fails to install. I tried using adb install and adb install -r and they both result in the following error:
Code:
1236 KB/s (5638011 bytes in 4.452s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/zinio-fixed.apk

Any ideas?

newer version of the Zinio Reader available
I get an message saying that "There is a newer version of the Zinio Reader available. This version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest Zinio Reader."
Anyone knows where to find the updated files?

Haven't tried it on the xoom yet but this should be the newer version.
