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.
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 cool, but I think this thread is about seeing if the Launcher works on the GTAB.
I think it only works on hdpi devices. Don't work on my friends zoom or my wife's aria

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".
I just bought/downloaded this right from the Market and it's freaking beautiful and works great. Running Vegan Ginger. Maybe newer versions are more tablet-friendly?

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?

I found a link the other day, I don't have it currently but I can try to find it if someone wants, about a new Android Market. I want to install this but not without a file to reinstall my current Market. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Thread to get the new APK is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
it dosent really matter because i think android will be rolling out the new market so it will just replace it
I have been running it for the last three weeks. Visually it looks great and is alot better organized. If anyone would like the APK pm me your email address and ill send it to you.

Do you mean the APK for the new or old market?
Just install it. There should not be any problems. I've been using it for about a month now. Its great!
Alright. I just installed it. I think it's an awesome market. I was just afraid to lose the other one in case something was wrong with this one.
With Google made apps (market, gmail, maybe more... ) you can uninstall updates if something goes wrong as opposed to having to uninstall and find the old apk
menu>> settings>> applications>> manage applications>>all

Thanks. I would hit the thanks button but it yells and says I can only thank 5 times a day.

Updated OP. Added a link to get the new apk.
New Android Market!
I saw a new market app on the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1" yesterday and when I got home my market app asked me to agree to market terms and boom, I had the same market on my phone! I'd assume that this is the market you all are talking about. I would guess everyone will be getting it, it was even pushed to my Droid 1 that's just on WiFi at the moment. Thought it was pretty cool.
Just got the update yesterday....great update.
Movie Rentals eh?
So it looks like Google is launching their new movie rental service with this market update. I don't think I'll use it because I have Netflix, but has anyone tried that feature yet?
I watched "The Switch" with my girlfriend through google movies. It went really well, was cheaper than a lot of places, and it was basically a Youtube video. It had the typical controls and quality selection of youtube, and the picture quality was good. It was quiet, but many video services are, and that may be because of my computer. Overall, 4/5. Could have had better sound, but the quality was really good. Now just wondering if you can download those movies like you can normal youtube clips. Oh, and it doesn't play on rooted devices.

Google just launched their Videos App in the market. You can also view you on device videos through it and the interface and organization is pretty nice. The videos you rent can now be watch through videos instead of YouTube. You can also browse rentals through the app.

I think he was saying it was a similar experience as using YouTube.
This is a pretty simple really. Just download screencast from the market. Record your video of your setup theme and icons ect ect. Just like posting a screenshot!
So now im on my computer hopefully the video works now. I tried posting the video last night from my phone and it didnt work.
Reserved for future use.
thats a pretty dope app ha. the evolution of the screen capture has finally evolved!
I bought the full version, I think this could be useful later on.

I'm still surprised more people haven't adopted the idea. You can record audio now too allowing you to narrate what you've done and how you acheived it!
How did you get you video to post? If tried everything, ive tried using the youtube tags. I tried the the iframe thing.

Glad you got it sorted mate, and looking good!
This is one thing that definitely benefits from a dual core CPU. On my single core N1, the UI changes don't look fluid because of the app itself using cycles as it records. I understand that recent updates have made the app less resource hungry though which is good.
As i said in my earlier thread, it's nice to see animations and transitions with peoples creations, which still images can't capture. There's some awesome work people are doing and this is the perfect way to show it off.
Let's see what you've all got!
For me: embedded YouTube videos run much better in the browser than before... They were unwatchable in 4.3.

Sent from my obsolete Teletubby. I want a new model with no external antenna and a touch screen in 16:9.
ART which made it possible for me to not requiring to buy a Nexus 5 at this point.
Does art speed up the actual app (like scrolling, etc) or just load times?
The smart dialer is by far the best feature.
Print Support

I use a commercial software to scan my documents with the Nexus 4 camera and turn them into PDF.
I was used to upload them into Dropbox and print them as soon as I got into my office.
Now I just point (for theatrical) my Nexus 4 towards the printer and shazam! I got a copy of my documents

Actually, with regards to embedded videos, it does not seem to work anymore for those that I have in my Pocket articles.
Just a "Couldn't load plug-in" error message.
But other than that, i think the new dialer does mirror my usage style of not keying in numbers all the time, but just that few contacts. nice feature there.
1 - ART. That makes me keep my Nexus 4 and now only waiting for Nexus 6 next year
2 - The new dialer. A think Google got a point here.

Embedded videos work better but the actual YouTube app has gotten worse videos stutter horribly.

- The dialer: It seems a lot less...bland...and I feel like i want to use it more. (Bonus points for the fact it brought up the name of the take-away i've been using for the past few weeks that I never knew the name of)
- The hidden UI when browsing fullscreen content also makes that bit of a difference to me
Dialer is cool. Like the full screen browser too and overall better battery life.
All the new UI related things, and ART as internal thing.

Yes but you're not going to like it. Uninstall Google Search completely from your device, then install the AOSP launcher from CM11 rom, it's the same as Google launcher without the Google Now integration. It doesn't gone an extra row for home screen either, but it does show more apps in the drawer.

Yes the dialer has been my main frustration for a long time, having no t9 support. When it did, the limited display of 3 contacts with only name + number was somewhat dissapointing, especially since htc implemented that feature from day one it seemed.
I do miss the opportunity to switch functions using a swipe though (the dialer pad button is a little hard to press wile on a bicycle ), but overall I think it's a huge improvement, especially with the mentioned bonus point that it identifies numbers from businesses that are not in my contacts!
I like how Google didn't give us transparency on stock /s
I would say the new dialer and music lock screen are my favorites so far
