Hey everyone! I am interested in making a list of Android Tablet-Compatible Apps. Could you do me a favor and list the ones that you use that are compatible with your tablets? I'd really appreciate it!

Not sure if a separate post is needed but, after the Galaxy email app, it would be nice to have tab specific apps categorized as such within the exisiting thread or on the gtabfans wiki. Just a thought.
I think all the working apps should be put on the gtab fans wiki...that way we can all have a single exhaustive source of info rather than searching through threads or constantly re-hasing it.
To the Op. There is a thread (i think over in the general forum about a gtab fan website).
Check it out i think you will like. They have started a wiki that includes working apps that anyone can add to or edit.
Mainly what I am looking for is applications that are designed more-so to run on a tablet compared to all the apps that are designed for 3-4 inch phones... I'm thinking I should have been clearer.

Hey that gives me an idea.
How about a subset on the gtab fan site wiki? One for all droid apps that "work", and then a subset with a listing of the ones that are designed specificially for the larger tablets?
Do you mind going over to that thead and suggesting that? I am getting off work here in a minute and am packing up.

Anyone keen?
I believe it would be extremely advantages to have more developers working the tab. I have the utmost respect for the handful that seem to do the work of double their numbers but someone like Rodderik would not only bring himself to the party but there would undoubtedly be others that follow him.
I am between employment right now otherwise there would be one in the post on its way to him/her but I would be open to a small contribution if this could get momentum. Please only leave productive comments.. if its not something you're interested in seeing happen let the thread die a sinking death!

Ill donate towards a tab, depending on the Dev, but with cm7 almost perfect, and afterbridge doing his thing, is it really needed for another dev, I'd rather one good rom than have 50 crap ones like most the other sections, also this is in the wrong section.

I agree. CM7 is now flashable, Overcome is just fantastic and Honeycomb is soon available to everyone. IMHO, I can't see how the development could benefit from another Tab. Unless Overcome gets ported for CDMA users..

Maybe if the dev ported over a miui rom, but even then most people are going to use cm7
I would definitely donate toward P1010 development. Not a whole tab of course, but something nonetheless.

What's so special about CM7? I know he does work for most phones? Or at least that rom is available for a number of phones. I'm guessing it's good because i've heard people speak so highly of it.
Also would it have any advantage over overcome's rom? And no disrespect to overcome because it's the first custom rom i've ever flashed and is the only reason I kept my tab. Love it.
Guessing i'm just asking if you or someone else could educate me on cm and specifically cm7.
I'm up with this thread, i cannot donate for a Tab but i'll send some beers to Rodd.
All devices get the best from the kernel, with a good one your tab will be always fine, it's not all about a Rom.
Have i t remember when we all got smartass/interactive governors fot our tab?
Now, you can say "i don't use smartass" or" my tab currently has not Ext4 because i don't need it", i say, why wasting your time to come here and say that we don't need another dev?
Just my 2cents of course.

I'd sell my body to medical science and give the profit to the dev who would port it.
Well, either MIUI or HTC Sense. Those are the only things I miss from my Desire days.
CM7 is completely AOSP. Basically built from scratch for each major release (CM6 - CM7) then they add bacon Tablet tweeks, different lock screens, theme chooser, custom brightness ssettings and loads of other things.
I don't see it as an amazing rom, more like stock, with goodies. I've never understood why people praise it all day. Its great yeah, but I don't see what's amazing about it. But Cyanogen is the Android custom roms/development forefather. He was one of the first to start it and hasn't stopped.

Id donate up to thirty bones for a Sprint CM7 rom. I'd give any spare cash for that.
How about a dev ports/creates the Trinity 14 kernal for the tab. Now that would be baaaadassss
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
I know it has been announced only a few hours ago and the source is not available yet. But, when Google finally releases the source code, will there ever be a ROM for the original Galaxy Tab?
I am curious because the answer to this question will help me resist the new tablet temptation
Having a hard time with HC, I doubt it with ICS....even the GB ROMs are not very polished, like Overcome causes warming up problem....
It can be short...
Maybe it will arrive sooner as we think, not with cyanogenmod, even if i want it on my tab, but with MIUI, I just read on the MIUIteam fr that MIUI have the source since they have the status of developpers with the XIAOMI, and they are already work on the Mi-one and the two nexus, so maybe the us team who develop the MIUI Rom for our tab will be able to port ISC on the galaxy tab?
I just hope that we can have ISC on our tab before Christmans it will be great!
ICS
From the news:
"Gabe Cohen from Google claims that most Gingerbread devices may have an upgrade to Android 4.0, claiming that it is theoretically compatible with any Android 2.3.x device"
I would presume (going off the little snippits of info I've gleaned) that almost ANY device will be able to run ICS in some capacity or another since it is designed to be all encompassing. (Think Ubuntu for comparison) Admittedly some older devices will struggle due to the specs but this is the same for every old device.
I could be completely WAY-OFF the mark but I believe el-goog is heading down the Canonical Road and pretty soon we will have OS's that just play well together, be it on mobile, laptop, PC, TV yadda yadda yadda......and then we'll see a small moon appear on the horizon
No wait, "That's not a moon.....It's a SPACE STATION!" cue dramatic music and suddenly everyone and their dog will be screaming "IT'S A TRAAAAAP!" "TURN THIS SHIP AROUND!" but by then we'll all be caught in the tractor beam and headed for a Schwartz-off with Dark Helmet......
Jus sayin
Developers get new devices and forget about old ones. Time's working against us...

I believe there will be a rom, not before Christmas tho
At least not a stable one.
Will Samsung release ICS for Galaxy Tab ??
Do you think people will port it or wait for source code.

How does a question not belong in general? Is the general sub forum not for General discussion. Don't mean to be rude just wondering how that does not encompass a question (heck a development thread could in theory fall under the general category), i understand that there is a specific category for q&a and trying to order the chaos; it just seems to me you can't really claim anything doesn't belong in general in order to delete and or warn a user.

Andy: Thank you for being awesome - lots of admins I've worked with throughout the years would probably throw a hissy over perceived insurrection when questions of protocol are asked. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated.
I am so glad that google appears to have gone with an open model this time around - it looks like they actually worked to maximize compatibility with the wide range of GB running devices and made everything pretty portable. of course we'll know more about that in a week or so when google drops the sources on us.
from what i understand, this will be the first time we've had proper public sources since the GB release.
the new feature set looks like it'll be pretty amazing so long as they optimized it well... I don't really care if newer fancier phones and tabs have more resources... more resources should allow you to do more things better, NOT an excuse to settle for sub-par optimization of code because "oh, it doesn't matter anymore, all new devices have enough ram and cpu speed to handle it!"... </rant>

I agree!!! More so if ICS is the hybrid between honeycomb (tabs only) and gingerbread (smartphones only), it should work on Original Galaxy(OG) tab, at least for those upgraded to gingerbread. Now we have OG 7" on 2.3, sg-tab 7 plus on 3.2 and possibly sg-tab 7.7 on ??4.0(I guess), sammy better get ICS on all otherwise it'll be hard selling all three.

I thing the original sgt7 is no longer part of the lineup i belive it has been discontinued. So the 7 plus is 3.2, as is the 10.1, and the 7.7. Samsung has settled on honeycomb for the lot but have already stated that each of these tablets will get upgraded to ics "real soon". On the flipside they all but confirmed that ics wont be coming to the original sgt7 making me very sad.
Samsung imho has really bad support for os updates in that they taje forever to release them and they are notorious for droping hardware / os support way too fast. My original sgt7 came out only about a year ago (last nov iirc).

yes, that's true, there is lots of private third-party ICS development going on to get a good AOSP rom up and functional. I think that's going to be most dependent on the galaxy tab ics dev thread here and then the cyanogen guys will go ahead and hack it smooth with extra features and the like as they generally do. I was specifically tallking about samsung OEM rom support.
and FIY, there is already a worked over SDK port of honeycomb for the galaxy tab 7 that seems to run pretty smooth that you might want to check out here if you're interested. the ICS stuff looks like it's shaping up, but I expect it to be at least a few months before everything becomes smooth enough for use as a daily rom.
From rovo89's post
Regarding Samsung ROMs: No progress. No ETA. No promise that it will be supported, although I don't exclude it either. It's simply unclear what further differences between their and AOSP's ART variant come up.
There are two ways to help bring Xposed for Lollipop to Samsung ROMs.
1. If you like his work, feel free to donate.
2. Track down some developers to do the research on Samsung ART.
If Samsung users want Xposed, then we all need to help.

Also donated for Xposed on the S6 edge.
Money will help but skilled Samsung ART devs is better option. Since Xposed is not full time job or so, donations dont make rovo89 coding more.
Even LG started messing ART code what is not good.
I believe in Rovo

Exactly. Donate because you like his work. I liked Xposed on 4.4 and I contributed because of that. I hope someday to have Xposed on TW roms.
Samsung really has their own form of ART? How can that be?

that does not make any sense, i think
As you all might be able to tell, I just spent a few minutes cleaning up the garbage in this thread. Having said that, I suggest sticking to the topic at hand and also abiding by the forum rules.

For the longest time rovo89 didn't even accept donations. It wasn't until Google decided to make ART the default and sole Android runtime that he changed his mind. I imagine because porting Xposed to ART is such a massive undertaking and that he very likely has some development costs such as time and bricked devices associated with it, but that's just a personal guess.
I'm no developer so the best way that I can support his efforts is by donating to the cause. The majority of users feel the same way, hence the suggestion. I'm willing to bet that rovo would rather have some solid dev contributions than monetary ones.
Maybe it works on S4 I9505 with workaround?!
Hi there,
I already know that the Samsung Lollipop stock roms TW-based Roms aren't supported...
But on this page from Phonearena some PeterK. claims that it's possible to get it working with a workaround, and in the comments (see comment 4 & 6) the author claims also, that he made this on a S4 i9505 TW-Rom.
Did anyone try it and find it working also?
Would be very good news if it's true and finally I would update also
Thx for your help with this!

So I've had the Edge for a while now and just got the lollipop update. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my device, but I am a root/flash freak and I really enjoy all the hard work that is given by the developers to help our devices be that much more cutting edge. I told myself I wouldn't root my device at least until after the lollipop update, then I would look into customizing my device. However the issue is there is LITTLE TO NO development for the edge.. Coming from a long history of galaxy devices this is something I'm not used to experiencing.. I have been waiting patiently for it to pick up but nothing seems to be moving..
I've said all that to say/ask this.. Is there much difference in the development for the note 4 vs the note edge, are there any custom ROMs that are compatible with both devices? If so what are they? Any themes that are compatible with both devices? Any developers willing to offer a little development here and there? Any way I can help with that? I mean I know this is asking alot.

There is a difference in the sense that you will always have SOMETHING to flash. We have AOSP builds where developers are updating every other day. We have a stock base rom by Tekk and he literally update about twice a week. Now that lollipop is here, we are waiting on developers to update or they are in the process of perfecting their roms to where Kitkat was. Development is up and running...as far as coming out with new features and what not, not so much. I will suggest you look around...be our guest, a sip here and a spoon full there while examining the change-logs and comments
