Tablet-specific apps - Xoom Themes and Apps

I can't seem to find a solid list of apps made specifically for tablets or tabs or pads or slates (whatever the correct term for the xoom is!)
So, figured we could start here?
aCurrency Pad
SwiftKey Tablet Beta
Google Body
Fruit Ninja THD
Flightboard
QuickOffice HD

fairly well maintained list.

You can easily see when itis updated and see when and what date a new app was added so you don't have to constantly search for the one new app they added.

My app is tablet specific: Reddita

OnLive Released

Looks like the HTC Flyer guys just got OnLive here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138194
The app crashes when trying to load and looking at logcat it appears as though it crashes due to a device check. Might work with a build.prop edit not sure.

Well, the OnLive viewer released, anyway. I'm excited for the release of the actual onlive app that you can play games on, but I'm not terribly interested in the viewer.

Finally a good Office Suite for Tablet

Hi,
I bought today the last version of Thinkfree Office Mobile HD ( 4.1.110728 especially designed for honeycomb ) and I found it very very good
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tf.thinkdroid.hdamarket
I tried Quickoffice HD , Documents to go , Picsel Smart Office but for me Thinkfree is much better.
It has a very good compatibility with MS office documents ( Word, Excel and Powerpoint ) and it is optimized for use with tablet ...
finally i can use the tablet instead of my laptop also for work !!
Not bad.....no dropbox or Google docs is a deal killer for anyone that already has their life set up.

Yeah, it's not perfect , but i read that Google docs support will be a next feature.
For dropbox I open docs through the dropbox app , not a big trouble
hm, 10 bucks. I already have quick office but imo it kinda sucks. I was gonna just use splashtop to RDP to my desktop at home but my school's network blocks it, those dicks.
It's pretty crashy.
That and the weirdo line wrapping made me refund/uninstall it.

ssh port forwarding is your friend
I don't see why this is so good. I prefer QuickOffice HD Pro myself over this one.

In my case, the layout of the complex word documents (with tables and images floating) is much better the Quickoffice HD and have best supporting excel pages with complex formulas.
Horrid instead is the management of line wrapping on Thinkfree ...
I think so too.
I bought this app in realease day.
But this app needs more features.
But i satisfied.

imo, not a winner, yet... no dropnox and couldn't open a couple of my word and dtg files... however, best ui out there and good rendering of some files that dtg and picsel disformed... lots of promise if upgraded and supported... good enough to keep, update and watch, but I'll keep using dtg primarily and picsel secondarily and just use this when neither works until it is improved. For those using quickoffice, though, I think this would be an upgrade... but I thout QO-HD was such a poc I uninstalled and ate my losses.
Im gonna try this

Which do you prefer for magazines? Kindle app, Next Issue or G.play

Morning everyone!
My now fiancé bought me a 7" tab2 for our anniversary and so far love it. Only thing I couldn't find info on was reviews on reading books/magazine on this tablet. Do you guys have any opinions on the reading magazines through kindle or google play?
Thanks in advance
Happy anniversary! I really like the Kindle app. I use it on all my devices for books and magazines. Easy to use and it is nice having everything sync and auto delivered.

I use Zinio to read magazines, sometimes you found good deals in subscriptions
Thank you for the respones guys!
I have Flipboard and Currents already on the tab since I loved them so much on my GNex. I also read my comics through comixology which is pretty good I'm just having difficulty setting up a year subscription for (The Walking Dead on there). I'll keep an eye on on the kindle app but I already see some mags. I want to subscribe to are either Fire or iOS only.

The Nexus 10 Arcade

Greetings XDA! I have been a follower of XDA for a long time, but this is happens to be my first post, so I figured to commemorate it, I would share V1.0 of my Nexus 10 Arcade machine using the Icade unit! The unit has been given a massive cosmetic overall with brand new custom artwork, and will soon feature LED backlight in V2. Hope you guys enjoy it and it's good to be here! :laugh:
Since I cannot post a video link quite yet, simply type "The Nexus Arcade" in the Youtube search engine and enjoy!
Looks nice!
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUSQ99tvs1E
This is too awesome! Now I'm gonna have dreams about it
Where can I order mine and how much does it cost?

T was an awesome project for me. Im looking forward to lighting this thing up! After that, I will be installing a built-in Bluetooth speaker to berf up the core sound quality.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Its hard to say...
Logistically?
The icade unit cost me $30 on Ebay, and I got a deal.
The vinyl stickers cost me $35.
The LEDs cost me $30.
Thinkgeek offers them for $100, but I would try Amazon or ebay.

Dude that is sweet, nice job. Do the controls actually work? How are they connected?
The controls work perfectly. They are connected via Bluetooth. Thats why it works with the android tabs and the ipads.

Nice!
Again, awesome job. What games are you running on it? I love the classic style arcade games.
Over 2000 games, but some of my favorites are:
Asteroids
Galaga
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II-III
PONG
Frogger
Donkey Kong
Marvel VS Capcom
DOOM
TRON
Metal Slug
Darkstalkers
Fatal Fury
And tons More!
To see V2, search for "The Nexus Arcade V2 (Nexus 10)" in the YouTube search engine

I built a full size arcade cabinet that runs MAME - it's a lot of fun. I'd love to get MAME running on my Nexus 10, but I haven't found a version that works well full screen.
What software are you using?
Also, if anyone is interested, I ripped some sounds from Galaga (ringtone & notification) - almost guarantees your phone will sound unique.
Its running MAME 0.139. It gets the job done.
See version 2 of the device in the link above.

I realized my problem with Mame4Droid Reloaded was that I was using incompatible ROMs. I found some ROMs that were the right version.
If you're not using Mame4Droid Reloaded, what emulator are you using?
Text removed form original post:
Any chance you could send me a link to the version of MAME your using? I've tried mame4droid (can't get full screen) and mame4droid reloaded (can't get most of my ROMs to work). I was hoping to find a fairly simple solution that would let me use my existing Roms full screen.

It is running Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is the rom version. I also use Final Burn Alpha for some of the CPS-based games like Street Fighter III

This has become quite a time hog...
Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is running great. I think I might pick up a PS3 controller - seems to be the best option for a universal controller. I don't need to go the iCade route for a controller since I've already got a full size cabinet.
Researching and finding newer versions (0.139u1 compatible) of all my favorite ROMs has made me want to update my cabinet to run the same version as my tablet. I forgot how much fun messing with MAME & various front ends can be - and how quickly a lot of time can be spent.
Anyone know of an inexpensive bluetooth controller with a trackball? I so want to play my favorite arcade game ever, Marble Madness, and was disappointed to learn that MAME4droid doesn't support the Nexus 10 accelerometer. Actually, it does support it but only for left/right (driving) controls.
Good luck finding a trackball gamepad in general... FPS players have been asking for this for a few years now lol... You might be able to use a trackball mouse or keyboard though
This is awesome!

Just bought the HD+. Will get Tuesday. Good performance?

So my plan is to immediately put the CM10.1 on this tablet.
I mainly watch movies, read books, browse the web, and play a few games. But not too many games.
Will this tablet give me great performance in general? Or is it going to be limited? What kind of snappiness do you guys have with yours?
For what you will be using for the tablet performance should be perfect with room to spare. The Nook HD+ is a pretty solid tablet, only problems I've encountered are some minor touch sensitivity issues and a little bit of lag here and there but with some tweaking and customization it works pretty well.
Had mine since Wednesday. Great for watching TV/movies (avi/mp4).
Good for reading the web.
Great for comics.
Not got around to reading via the Kindle app.
Plays music fine.
Really enjoying it, but just like previous poster some touch sensitivity issues.
Well, I guess I will just need to try it for a bit and see if I am happy with it.
Hey I noticed that with it stock there are "incompatible" apps from the play store. Fandango for instance. If I put CM on it, am I still limited or is the buildprop edited so we can actually download these apps

No, most that say incompatible will still be incompatible on CM10.1. Your option is to download on another device, transfer the apk to the HD+, enable unknown sources on CM10.1 and install them. They usually run.

Actually, I just did CM to mine. My benchmark before was around 9000, with CM it went to over 10000.
And I found that several 'incompatible' apps became compatible. MLB At Bat works (only for radio, TV can't find my location). Also, a widgets app, iheart radio, and a couple others suddenly became compatible as well. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Of all the apps I have, the only one that is still incompatible is the Nook app... go figure! :laugh:
I can careless about the nook app. I honestly don't read much. I really bought this just because I got it so cheap
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
For reading of pdf books I suggest OrionReader, simple and smooth as hell.
For video MxPlayer could handle 720p animes on hd+
Really satisfied with the hd+, definitely a bargain to me
I am so glad you mentioned OrionReader. I use my Nook for reading music scores while playing piano and couldn't find an app that moved fast enough while turning the pages. Now I'm all set!

You're welcome Another good thing about it is you can customize behaviours for different tap zones, very convenient
