Which app for xoom - Xoom Themes and Apps

Quick question, Which app will work for the xoom that will let me know were its at if I loose it or it gets stolen. How does it work does it need to always have a connection and can I track it using my pc I have no mobile phone.

I think "Look Out" will do what ur looking for. Its a cool app.
Its not working a 100% for honeycomb , but there is a work around.
Here the thread if you wanna give it a shot.

Anyone know of a good "working" bittorrent client?

Subject says it all
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm using mTorrent Lite for when im connected to WiFi. Works great. Obviously not suggested when on 3G.
what about something like PeerGuardian/equivelant to go along with it?
I'm using mtorrent as well but only getting 1mb sec load speed. I have 4 meg DSL.. shouldn't it be at 400k a sec?
In the same vein, has anyone seen a usable Usenet app?

I'm trying to use mtorrent but every time I try to add a torrent, nothing happens. It keeps saying to add a torrent. How is everyone else using mtorrent.

I use NewzDroid and it does exactly what I expected it to. They also make the software Unrar and Unrar Pro... it would be really nice if they would just integrate the applications together though.
I see that there is now another offering on the Market called Droid NewzLeecher (which appears to have some pretty bad reviews)
The app that I use is ttorrent and I love it. I have tried all of them and this one is by far the best. I get speeds on average of 250kb/s but that might be due to the speed of my wifi connection.

I don't have a Xoom, but on my Nexus One I use the free uTorrent remote app. This is not torrenting on the phone, it torrents to my home computer running uTorrent. However, the app allows you to download the files from your home computer once they are completed. It is a very clean app and works great on my phone, so if it runs on the Xoom and that way of doing things works for you, it might be a great solution.
I'm aBTC on my desire. Give it a go.
swarm is one of the best clients i've seen, but it is $5.

[APP] "TV SHOWS FREE", suck it hulu

The new TV app called "TV SHOWS FREE"
So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-shows-free/org.apps.PVRViewer
Surprising it has almost all the shows and with good quality as well.
here is the APK

sometimes for tv out to work you must switch the yellow and white cable, depending on who made it.
It doesnt seem to appear in the market
Great app! Been watching "who's the boss" and "my so-called life" episodes all day!
Can someone who downloaded the latest version post it here cause it is not on the market anymore.
Just posted it in your other thread.

Got my queue and my account up, but won't let me play video. Get an error that says to try again later. Oh well maybe someone can work a lil magic on this like they did with Hulu. Thanks for this anyway.
I logged it, it shows all your info such as resume play and stuff, but gets stuck loading the video, it just stays on loading. I hope that this can be fixed!!!!
Thanks for the find though!!!

It's not going to work no matter how hard you try, read the netflix thread in the development section. Our cpu will not support the DRM protocols required by nflix

Scrabble

Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom
I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM
Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.
I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Can you post a link to the APK, I would like to give it a go even though it apparently only partially works. Or send to [email protected] Thanks!

I loaded it on my TB, haven't tried moving it to my Xoom yet...
It is disappointing that this new Free version doesn't support "local" play only... or play against the "computer."
Anyone get the apk out?

That would be warez, unless of course you are asking for the trial version. The trial version does suck a$$ though. See below.

+1 It is pointless for me, i just wanted to grab a quick me vs computer game to try it before i buy it.
There was a free version of scrabble. So that would not be warez. Anyone know where to find the apk in the file system? I can pull it from my TB or tab.

XOOM light sensor screen lock/unlock

Help!! Haha i had seen an app a while back that some dev had made where the XOOM could lock upon light sensor being covered and awakened when uncovered but i can't seem to find it now! Should of just bought it back then. Anyways if anyone knows of it or a different similar app that uses light sensor info would greatly be appreciated thanks!

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

I was able to install it yesterday from the link I posted. The apk is there under the market link and video. I decided against using it, but you can give it a try.
