I've looked at all the apps I can find in the market that allow you to store provate pics but they all seem to not be up to scratch with either failing at being truly private (I don't think I saw any that used proper encryption) and/or don't have a proper viewer or slideshow option. Does anyone know if such an app exists with proper encryption and a decent viewer?
I'd also like to know this
Dropbox seems to work fine for me just make sure you log off after you exit

I use TSP (Totally Secure Picture) to hide my ex girls nudie pics from the flavor of the month. I'm not sure if it's still available in the market though.

+1 on photovault! I use the videovault wich is the same but for vids.
It seems to do well with all my flics!!
I used to use Pandora, works well but then i got tired of it, since i just kinda store the pics and videos there after taking them, not really used for viewing. so what i do is make a folder using the included file explorer thing, and name it with a discrete name like.....97taxreturns....lol, and make sure to put a "." in front of the folder name, then i put all my stuff in there. its hidden from the gallery and the file explorer unless you use "menu-->show hidden"
but pandora is pretty nice to for the porn addicts.

I used Vaulty Free from the market. It seems pretty good. The ONLY thing you can find/see in your "My Files" are text files. And YES I tried to open them and it just comes up with scribbles scratch. So YES I can Hide my Streamed Porn Video, My Sancha's (mistress) nude pics and video from the wifey...Haha
It also hides the videos and pics from the gallery completely.

My friend uses Hide it Pro to hide his pics of weed. It has a disguised icon and has a secret way of opening it after you tap the icon. Then a password is required.

U have a "thanks" button.
Next time u store these things, store them all in one "base" folder. This way u can delete this one folder and the contents - sub-folders and files would be auto-deleted.
Hey all!
I've had the tab for a while and its pretty much been with me for UNI alot more than my laptop.
I don't do much word processing, but alot of PDF reading. Sometimes I'd need to have 2-3 PDFs open (e.g one is the assignment question and one is reference). It's a real hassle having to open and close a PDF and also scroll back to were I was before.
I've read the Notion ink has "panels" where things are open at the same time... but that is a whole ROM thing. Any ideas?
Also, having seen the HP touchpad and pre phones, that "tap to share" feature is cool. I know its more a hardware thing, but I also know there is an app called bump which sends pics via bumping the devices.
Thing is, you need to be online for that. I'd usually tether my phone so that my tab has internet, but is there an equivalent using bluetooth? Bump to send anything would be nice!
Thanks in advance!

No problem.
Don't think there's an app on android as of yet on reading 2 PDF's at the same time, think there's a one in the Appstore (kno) but obviously that won't work on the Galaxy tab or any other android devices.

Well you can use 2 different pdf readers, and you can switch with the home button, by long pressing then chose the reader.
Hope it helps.

I actually just thought of that today too! I had repligo reader open and thought i might be able to open another PDF in adobe
I haven't exactly tried it, but I'll be back to report
I don't know if it will directly help or not, but there are apps that let you tether through Bluetooth. If I am not mistaken, PDAnet is one such app.
Hey There
so i was serfing the web and i found this guide, this is not my work but you can still hit the thanks button
so as the title says whatsapp on xoom may now work, i havent test it yet on xoom but some users report that its working on asus transformer so i said why not give it a shot
Requirements:
Android phone with whatsapp and root
Android tablet with root
Any file manager that has root permissions ( like root explorer or es file explorer )
Instructions:
1 - With root explorer go to folder /data/data/ on your phone and find a folder named "com.whatsapp"
2 - Copy that folder to your sdcard. If you don't have a sdcard, copy it to your computer with usb cable
3- install whatsapp.apk on your tablet .Do not open it for now
4 - copy the previously prepared com.whatsapp folder to /data/data/ on your tablet with root explorer
5 - open whatsapp
6 - you now have a fully working whatsapp on your xoom Tablet
Im on my way Home to try it meamwhile if some testers could test if it works that will be nice
please tell me the results

Hi all could someone post their backup file? This would be incredibly useful to people like me without access to an android mobile.
There must be a way to manually edit the phone number within the backup.
Your help is appreciated..

You need some form of hex editor and to know what you're doing. Realistically you're not going to get whatsapp on your xoom without having it on a rooted android phone.

oh yes ! and im the friend he got the system folder from, its all about changing ur number and all ur contacts are going to be visible, its just i had to again configure my watsapp on my Xperia device so i can push my own phone number and log in ! very simple, and btw sometimes seniors need to test out the stuff and then post comments and then lol on them ! which is in this case very rude !
for rest of the members ! this stuff is working and all secured, tested ! :good:

Yes ! but make sure u do it 1st on the tablet which is the child in this case so a parent (Phone Device) will activate it later so there going to be no conflicts of contacts on both devices ! (its fortunate if ur holding a phone and a tablet together) if not then a close friend is required :silly:

ok i have the app on my 4G xoom atm. HOWEVER, i only have wifi where i'm located and I installed just fine. Here's how I did it.
1) I sideloaded the app on my xoom (dons't have to be rooted to do that).
2) ran the program and inputed my google voice number (theoretically you could use any phone number that has texting capabilites)
3) Let the app time out on 'verifiying' if you got the text.
4) Type in the code you got texted to that number.
5) Enjoy.

First time android user, ive had my note 3 for barely a day. Just switched from the iPhone 4s, so my switch to android has been surprising to say the least.
The spoiler below summarizes my first struggle/rant with how "amazing" android customization is.
They say android is very customizable, and it is, but what they don't tell you is that there are no good apps to do what you want to do. For example, I tried syncing my iTunes library to my android phone. Doubletwist wouldnt work because my library is in a different place than where iTunes installs normally, and it seems that iTunes only updates iTunes Library.xml instead of the iTunes Music Library.xml, so not all my music is transferred to my phone anyway. Good interface, bad performance. Right now im using the free trial of iSyncr, which works great, but has a ****ty icon/interface, with the free trial of playerpro for a music player with a good interface and the ability to change play counts and ratings so it reflects in my iTunes library. Once those free trials end, I'll have to dish out 10 bucks just to do what was native on iPhone. I understand you can drag and drop music, but im not gonna go through my entire music library every time i have to transfer over a new song (so I avoid duplicates of songs already on there), or wait 30 minutes each time to transfer my whole library over every time I want to sync (replacing my old library). Google Play is nice and all, but it doesnt keep track of play counts, and I just hate the fact that its streaming. What if I was stuck in a class that was in a brick classroom that just killed my network connectivity and provided no wifi? (I do encounter this at my university some times). Does that mean I cant listen to music?
1. What are the LED notifications? What does red mean? what is blue? what is green? My note 3 didnt come with a manual... I think my phone told me when i was setting it up, but it was a lot to take in, so i forgot some parts.
2. Are the apps with a blue circle with a white arrow on the lower bottom left corner of the apps free? or just shortcuts to buy the app in the app store? I hope they are free apps that come bundled with it, since I would love to use the sketchbook app, but I dont wanna pay for it when I can use the mobile free version.
3. I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone, but I have no clue which apps are bloatware and which ones are actually useful (besides the obvious ones that are branded with AT&T and samsung(are the samsung apps useful?). What ROM should I flash to get to stock android (and rooted since it seems like some of these roms come with root). I dont want any fancy themes or whatever, since most of the time, they suck.
4. Can I set lockscreen notifications? Or do i have to unlock my device, pull down the notifications bar, and go from there?
5. Can I customize the icons on the status bar? Like their location on the status bar (id like to have my 4g and at&t signal on the left, instead of the 4g in the middle of nowhere) or what shows up on the status bar?
6. What is the best themeing app called?
7. uhh thats all the questions I can think of now, but its only been a day. Once i start using it more, i'll have more questions, but im sure I can figure those out myself unless its a stumper.
edit:
7. How do I set my mail to automatically load images?

No other option for more settings or how often I want my mail being checked.

thank you for your help now lol. However, some of your answers dont make sense to me. To change the icon locations in the status bar, you said hold down the icons. However when I do it, notification center gets pulled down. Im guessing I need root for this?
and I tried using the gmail app, and I do like it, I would just prefer if I could change the default inbox to be set to all mail. Any way I can do this?

thats really weird, I dont have an option for more settings on my stock email app. I have account settings, then under display settings, it shows display, composing and sending, auto advance, confirm deletions, priority senders, spam addresses, rules for filtering and split view mode. No other option for more settings or how often I want my mail being checked.
@ukic
thank you for your help now lol. However, some of your answers dont make sense to me. To change the icon locations in the status bar, you said hold down the icons. However when I do it, notification center gets pulled down. Im guessing I need root for this?
and I tried using the gmail app, and I do like it, I would just prefer if I could change the default inbox to be set to all mail. Any way I can do this?

Sorry was thinking of too many things at the same time, updated answer > 5A) Check Wanam/Xposed. This needs root.
In regards to default inbox > all mail, I haven't tried to do that but let me see if I can figure it out. Will let you know.

They say android is very customizable, and it is, but what they don't tell you is that there are no good apps to do what you want to do. For example, I tried syncing my iTunes library to my android phone. Doubletwist wouldnt work because my library is in a different place than where iTunes installs normally, and it seems that iTunes only updates iTunes Library.xml instead of the iTunes Music Library.xml, so not all my music is transferred to my phone anyway. Good interface, bad performance. Right now im using the free trial of iSyncr, which works great, but has a ****ty icon/interface, with the free trial of playerpro for a music player with a good interface and the ability to change play counts and ratings so it reflects in my iTunes library. Once those free trials end, I'll have to dish out 10 bucks just to do what was native on iPhone. I understand you can drag and drop music, but im not gonna go through my entire music library every time i have to transfer over a new song (so I avoid duplicates of songs already on there), or wait 30 minutes each time to transfer my whole library over every time I want to sync (replacing my old library). Google Play is nice and all, but it doesnt keep track of play counts, and I just hate the fact that its streaming. What if I was stuck in a class that was in a brick classroom that just killed my network connectivity and provided no wifi? (I do encounter this at my university some times). Does that mean I cant listen to music?

It doesn't help that you're coming from a platform that doesn't want to make it easy for you to move...
I feel the same way about the streaming music services, and I tried to explain this to my roommate who works at google, and has drunk the koolaid. The impression I got from him was that we shouldn't be in places that don't have internet - and I'm all for avoiding those, but those times when I can't, I really want to be able to listen to music! At least the note 3 has a microSD card slot, so you can store lots of music on a 64GB micro SD card.
I just put all my music onto a MicroSD card and pointed Music Folder Player at it. I don't know if this will work on an iTunes library though.

What ROM should I flash to get to stock android (and rooted since it seems like some of these roms come with root). I dont want any fancy themes or whatever, since most of the time, they suck.

I don't think anyone said this already... You can't flash roms on an AT&T note3, the bootloader is locked. All we can do is root the stock rom (until someone comes up with a bootloader exploit). But you can do a lot with "just" root.
As for samsung apps being useful, probably all you want is the S-Pen related ones.
If you use the Email app (not just GMail), do not disable MyMagazine, however annoying it is; it breaks the basic email app if you do.
The apps with the circle and arrow are shortcuts to download the apps. I just checked on a few of mine, though, and they look to be free. It looks like Samsung had the courtesy not to install all of the bloatware they wanted to? Or maybe they have to pay royalties based on how many people actually install it...? (at least some of them are not samsung products)

Thats very true, but theres also no music manager for android either. Okay well, i'll give you winamp, but honestly, i hate the look of winamp, and most of the themes/skins for it are also terrible. I tried googling for themes for the android app, and I couldnt even find any (then again, i didnt look too hard. just a simple google search).
say what you want, iTunes is a pretty good music manager for those who like to manage their music, but arnt anal about tagging. Ive found that using iSyncr and PlayerPro together have been a great substitution for the same experience as on an iPhone. Except that you CANT SET PlayerPro as your default music app. Apparently people have had issues with the same thing, and theres just no solution on how to set PlayerPro as your default app. I might try finding another music app soon if I cant figure it out, since I play my music through bluetooth in my car, and if I cant choose the songs through my cars system, theres no point.
What do you mean change songs through your car's system? Is it really too much trouble to pick up your phone and press the skip button on whatever music player is running.
And what do you mean by "default music app"? If you want to run something different than what you have, just put that icon on your home screen and open it instead.
I don't know why former iOS sheep have to make things so complicated, like" how do I get this to look/act/do the same as my iPhone "? Something sent you this side of the Isle, just embrace android for a few day whilst you learn the basics of the platform and your device.

Were you able to select the music before on your iPhone through Bluetooth? Because I would love to find what ever head unit/car you have, because my wife would love that. Only place I've ever seen seen that is if you plug in the iPhone, never though Bluetooth.
