[Q] USA TODAY for Tablet APK?

Will anyone please post the APK for the USA today app for tablets? I believe Xoom's are the only device that can download the app since it's honeycomb+.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
I'd like to work on getting it to run on a Nook Color running the Honeycomb preview and/or have it for when the Honeycomb official source is released.

Here you go.

I just stumbled on this today on the market from my laptop. Clicked to install from the laptop and it showed incompatibility with my tab (VeganGingerRC1/pershoots OC kernel). I thought it was just the gtablet, but after seeing this doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas? Thanx!

I get error parsing the package. Running Cyanogen 7. I got the cnn tablet version to install.
Thanks

SPB Shell on the Xoom?

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.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

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?

Netflix on the market? for stock 2.2 no less

So I downloaded netflix from the market, and it says in the list of supported devices that the HTC Thunderbolt is one. Now it does install and accepts your username password, you can see your qeue and it attemps to play the vid, but fails with a DRM required message. any one else seeing this? if you search for it it will not appear, but if you select apps, all apps, free apps then scroll down its listed. click install and try to enjoy a mostly usable app.

Yeah I know the rooted custom roms will run of just fine. But I'm just enjoying my stock bolt after coming from a pos Samsung captivate.

yep no go for me also. Someone on Android Central claims his works on stock but yeah general consensus says other wise.

Mine works on CM7 perfectly! I did a search for Netflix it found and downloaded fine. Logged in and started a movie!

it will never work on stock or rooted froyo for the thunderbolt (at least not without netflix directly supporting it). person that said it did on that forum is full of it. amount of effort to make it work would not be worth it. GB will be out soon and nearly everyone has it already on here. Anyone who wont root to get netflix obviously doesnt want it bad enough

Ok ok, im not a dev, but.... Look at the LG Revolution. It is running 2.2.1 and netflix runs perfectly out of the box. in my ignorance, I dont know why it would be any more dificult to modify it to work with other froyo devices. Im sure one of the software type bullys will pick me appart here.. By the way... XDA isn't a friendly place any more. boo to flamers... (will probably get flamed for that) HA

Netflix does NOT need GB to function, it appears as if it needs it for the TBolt but not overall. That being said they made Droid Bionic support available so take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe GB will be coming soon and rather than fix issues with the TBolt again soon they figured set it up for GB and users can use it then (and root users now ).

I just installed Netflix on my stock TB & it works very well. It was a little glitchy for the first 3-4 seconds, maybe 5, but after that, clear as a bell. No complaints here. About damn time...

Netflix app was just updated again!!! Everyone that had issues before try it out!

Yep update seems to fixed the play back issue.... WOOT!

Yep, confirmed working here too. Stock Froyo unrooted, latest update.

Confirmed. Just updated. Netflix now streaming on stock Thunderbolt. Thank God!!!

I never said all of froyo...I said thunderbolt + froyo. However, I am glad to see that it looks like netflix finally fixed it for the thunderbolt on froyo (the only way I said it would ever work for it).

Uninstall, download from market & reinstall.
I never understood the appeal of watching netflix on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times & never finished the movie. Tablets & netbooks are much better suited for that job, imho

Tapatalk Free from Samsung Apps

Samsung recently released a version of Tapatalk HD for the Galaxy Tabs.
Catch is it is not available in the US or for wifi only devices. If you have a 3G 8.9 and not in the US. Check it out
http://www.androidcentral.com/tapat...1-now-available-free-exclusively-samsung-apps

Or just go here to download directly.

great .... I'm going to try ......

not a lot of HD/tablet optimisation to speak of.
looks like the original app most of the time.
they could have done a far better job of it imho.
are there any forum app alternatives for tablets that actually make use of the screen space?

I would like to know about the alts you are asking about as well. However, it is still pretty speedy even though it closely resembles the origional app. Feels much quicker to me. Worth grabbing since its free.

i made a backup on 3.2 and then tried to reinstall it on ics but im getting fcs all day long (was to be expected going from one version to another)
any other ideas how to get this working on ics?

Oh awesome, I was worried when moving from iPad to Galaxy Tab that there would be no Tapatalk HD, since all the other Android tablets I've seen running it are using a stretched out mobile version.

it worked on my 3.1 stock and 3.1, 3.2 overcome ROM's
i couldn't get it to work on my ICS one's

1) Shouldn't this thread be posted under Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps?
2) Tapatalk HD is not compatible with ICS, but...
3) XDA Free is.

Learned my lesson: Read the posts properly. I'm Wi-Fi only. Bah!

i wonder why this keeps crashing on ics

Keeps crashing when i try to enter login info at forums, on ICS, so I'm using the normal version.

Get the free XDA app from Android Market. It's Tapatalk for XDA only and it works fine in ICS. There's a link in my previous post.

[Q] Samsung Apps + Sky Go/+ wont install

Not sure if this is a known issue or not..
But got a Galaxy Note (Rooted, with Paranoid Android rom 2.50) and Im having problems installing some applications from the Marketplace, mostly Samsung Smart TV remote apps and the "Sky" range (Sky+ and Sky GO)
When I try to install them from my phone, the apps arnt listed and from the web-based market-place my phone is listed as Incompatible.
What gives?

You won't be able to load any samsung apps as they are Touchwizz dependant. Not sure about sky go, what dpi have you set?

Even the ones for interfacing with their SmartTV range? Weird!
I've a "Workspace" UI of 720px / System Apps at 360px / User apps at 360px

i dont think its the ROM,
i am on TWJB and still "Samsung Remote" says This app is incompatible with your Samsung GT-N7000.
although if i check the reviews for N7000, people seem to have installed it

Thats pretty dang weird..
I wonder if you could push the APK file down onto the phone would that work..
Whats the sort of "Policy" about handing around APK's for free applications?
