Does it work? Id hate to spend all that moolah and find its broken or slow!
It is a little slow, and really not that impressive from what I have read. I'm not impressed with it on my Epic.
There are a few other threads about it if you search for it. Maybe they are more specific than me.
I do not know if it works on the xoom but i downloaded it for my viewsonic Gtab and it works great! It is really cool, 3D style graphics and runs smooth. I would imagine it runs being as they both have the same processor? But,,,I have heard some say that it does not work on the xoom? Just make sure you do a refund on the market within 15 mins if it doesnt and you should be fine.

The VS GTab uses an older generation T2 than the XOOM (I think) so they're not identical. Runs on my Vibrant. Haven't tried on my XOOM.
meaning they are both nvidea tegra two cpu's.

I just got this on my Nexus S, it works great on my Nexus S, I doubt it would work good on the Xoom, I tried LauncherPro on my Xoom and it worked but the functionality seemed extremely dampered. Just wait a month or two before we see devs make launchers for Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom
personally I really like the stock launcher, but theres the really screeching app drawer and limited screen number...
I have SPB shell on my DX, I sideloaded and it will not run on my Xoom.
I bought SPB and it works great on my Galaxy S, but on the Xoom it only runs in portrait mode and it's very pixely/grainy. I'm hoping their Honeycomb launcher comes out soon!
Gah I can't post a link to it as this is my first post! Google SPB Honeycomb.
Yes it does run but like he said the background is very pixelated but the foreground is perfect

That looks sick! I have SPB on my phone but don't use it as my launcher but I will definitely use it for my Xoom if they get it working like that.

you and one other posted these results of grainy background. i could not even get it to run at all on my xoom.
i wouldnt mind running it in this case anyways. does anyone know of any secret of getting it to run at all and not just be a black screen...?
I got it running on Xoom but also just had black screen.

I currently have it on my XOOM and it's working perfectly!! There's an experimental tablet mode that allows it to work in landscape just fine and I believe yesterday the app was updated!! It definitely looks nice on the xoom but the other version in the video above looks bad ass!!! I was also wondering to anyone who has purchased the application on the phone would I have any problems using it on my tablet as well being that it'll be purchased on my phone?? I tried it from an apk I found first because I didn't want to spend the money at first if it wasn't going to work. But seeing that it does now I don't mind spending the money! Please someone let me know! Basically how do I get it from my phone onto my xoom and still have it work?

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.

And thanks to some guy named Wesley for the apk link:

Tested working on Apex 8.2 but only the apps/games pages not books or movies but that is probably because i am in Canada not the usa
Edit: 2.0.27 was released a few days ago here is the link to the thread on that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180092
yup works nice here too...Mosaic V
I put the apk in the post, not from me, got it from flimsy888
I can also vouch for Mosaic V. Works and looks great.

Wow, such a great improvement. Way faster than that previous piece of crap. Actually lets you choose your google account you want to use. Didn't see changelogs? Maybe just overlooked it. Either way, don't wait for the push, download the apk yourself, well worth it!

Working just fine on CM7. Kinda makes me feel like i'm on WP7 though lol. Very smooth, flashy too. I like it lol.
Here's what video rentals looks like. Pretty much all products on market look this way. Featured tab is where it's at though.

Changelogs are above the app descriptions listed as "What's New" just under the "Rate & Review" section. Much easier to find than expanding the info & scrolling all the way down like previously
EDIT: Oh, and I love the new app. Was really laggy until I rebooted & works great now!
thank you so much for this been looking for it!!
Works on Cog beta 3 ... tons better then original!!!

put it on your sd card then open it in a file manager if you dont have one download astro from the market. if you are on stock at&t then this is technically sideloading and you will either have to enable sideloading (search in general or dev) or flash a custom rom
just download and select open. installs as an application so you dont have to boot into recovery
Force closes for me running cm7 nightly.

Ya sorry I had a brain fart. I just loaded with droid explorer, though I imagine if I would have known the location I could have pushed with adb. On a side note it does look sexy.
While the movies thing is nice, Google will blacklist your device from playing your rental or movie download if you are rooted. They'll take your money happily though and not tell you this til after you bought it.

I thought I heard something about rooted phones won't be able to rent or buy movies from the android store a while ago, not sure though.

Hey all,
was wondering if anyone has a thrive rom dump? has some interesting sounding apps that would be awesome if we could get them over to the xoom, such as:
Perhaps our favorite app -- second only, perhaps, to File Manager -- is PrinterShare, an app that allows you to find nearby printers and print documents, photos, and webpages over WiFi. We fell in love as much with its ease of use as its utility. Just open the app, select an application from which you might want to print something, and then find a list of printable documents (or, in the case of the Gmail app, messages). We wish every tab came with something like this out of the box.

edit: nvm - mods delete if you want, couldn't find a thrive section, but just did a search, :fail: on my part sorry
you found it then? Could you post it?
Printershare is available on android market. The version from the thrive system dump doesn't look any different.
All of the games from the Thrive sysdump install and work fine on my Xoom.
BackgammonToshiba.apk
EuchreToshiba.apk
HeartsToshiba.apk
SolitaireToshiba.apk
SpadesToshiba.apk
NFSShift.apk - HD Version Demo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165989
The Toshiba File Manager is worthless on Xoom, built for their device - stick with Root Explorer or ES.
i couldnt install backgammon, and printer share always hangs at 61% when openning a document.
Im having a really hard time downloading the whole system dump on my xoom. Could you possibly upload the apps that work well on our xooms?

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!
app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.
If you installed any netfix apk on the xoom then let me make you just a little more paranoid! Did you get the other from the market? I didn't think so.......hmmmmm wonder who got you login from that version? Lol!

Not you! The people that got from XDA thread! Like me! OMG someone may be watching Netflix with my info!! No j/k. The app is fine. Don't know why everyone is so scared these days. I locked my CC with Netflix so you can't just go in and change it with the app or online. Have to have more info to make any changes.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.
Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!
Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...
