I don't understand how the company that revolutionized the internet by creating the worlds best online search engine, can not properly run and organize the search functions of an app store.

Trendster HD for instance which is a honeycomb specific app is not showing in the tablet section and how is there not a damn filter for results! Sometimes I feel like Google doesn't really care that much about android.
Wow here is another one

You'll notice that its called Featured Apps for Tablets. Not tablet apps. Those apps you mentioned aren't featured apps for tablets.

My point is that I think google is cherry picking the apps that show up in that section. It's not the tablet app section its the featured tablet app section so the apps must merit being featured. I do however think there should be away to search for honeycomb optimized applications in addition to this featured tablet app section.
People pay to be on the fetured app section because its more marketing for there app witch I think is stupid

Give it time... good lord. Apple had a slow start to the tablet sections too. Everyone is so damn sensitive nowadays. Give it time and the formatted apps will appear. Hell google just released that special file or whatnot that allows designers to design for all screen size/format in one apk. Dont tell me google doesnt care, its just a slow start not to mention i personally believe that motorola pushed google to release a not fully finished os to beat out the iPad2 announcement.

the op's point makes sense, he isn't complaining about the number of apps. when i hit that tablet featured tab i expect to see apps that are table optimized. there are many tablet and honeycomb optimized apps that are hard to find. if they are charging the people who pay money should just have theirs on top. Right now when you hit that button they make it seem like there are only 20 or so honeycomb apps period.
New realtime web tracking system, runs on any phone 2.1+
You can send links to people you want to share your position with. Has configurable "update" times and shows last update/update interval/battery status on the web tracking page (useful for example when you are outside, roaming wilderness for many hours and need to save those last 10% of battery by turn long update interval - people watching you do not freak out, why didn't you move for a long time).
Current status: works, I am optimizing the GPS usage for battery savings.

It does, over Wifi.
I am the author of this app and have one question - did you ever clicked on ads in this app? I am just trying to make a kind of "Survey" between users to know, which way to go. I have the paid version, but it doesn't sell well, so I made the Ad-supported version, listed in Google Play for free, but not many people click the ads.
What do you think? Do you think, that having the app free, supported with ads is viable option for me?
Does this application allows recording and upload tracks?
I`m looking for app like old GPSed for iOS and Blackberry.

For the most part if I use and like an app, I will get the paid version. Outside of that, I don't see the ads, and I would not click on them if I did.

It is strange. They have stopped showing for some reason, I have experienced it on my devices several times. I'll look into that
hmmm. great app, starting to download now. thanks
Not sure about this time tracking application. We had been using Replicon's time tracking product suite which is an easy to use cloud based solution. It has a simple to use calendar view interface, great features for usability and unparalleled back up support too. NO issues till date, had been quite efficient and productive tool.

Nice app... but
I just downloaded your free version to see how it worked before purchasing and have a question.
In your description it says you can send links by email but there is no option through the phone app to send links at all. The only place I seen that offers any type of links to send is on the website. I think this option should be offered through the phone app.
Is this something you plan on adding?
Any chance some enterprising dev could get this running on our nexus 7's

It's open source. Roman made an ICS/AOKP/Cornerstone build a long time ago ... felt it was too buggy to continue.

AOKP got this request recently.
Seems a Cornerstone build would be the only way out...which is unlikely.
I'm fully aware this would probably be quite difficult to port, and likely quite time consuming.
Having said that, I also want this. It makes so much more sense on a 7 inch tablet then a 5 inch whatever.
This works with a handful of Google Apps, no other apps. I don't see the point.

Running 2 apps at the same time. Seems like a great idea to me. It supports a limited amount of apps, but unlike Galaxy Note 10.1, you could probably hack in other apps to work.

Yes, but the Galaxy Note 2 supports all apps in multi-window mode...
This would be *nice* to have but I don't know how much easier it would be then to just multitasking between 2 apps now and having the apps full screen. I can see some of the benefits like watching a youtube video while chatting on Google Talk. There are some good alternatives such as popup video players and notepads that overlay on top of current app and typically are resizable and movable.
While it makes sense this would be better on a 7" then a 5"... it really would be best on a 10". 7" barely gives me enough breathing room for 1 app. Plus most of the "compatible apps" are simple things like a calculator and notes
Well it seems VERY useful to me.
It's better than popup apps in my opinion - more app options.
Overscreen browser is a great alternative for now
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
No, it's not.
This allows multiple apps to run side by side, Overskreen is just the browser. Also, it's not even compatible with Jelly Bean, so no one who owns a Nexus 7 can use it.

No, as I said, handful of specific Google apps. Read up on it. Will the list grow? Maybe? I'd have to guess it is a sdk used to support the function, is it worth app dev time to do it and possibly maintain multiple versions of their app?
more then google apps
Not just google apps can do this on the samsung note 10.1 .
samsng snote and lecture app
browser
vidoe player

polaris office
Photo shop (special note version)
I think there a few others that are on the samsung web app store. Samsung sbe adding apps to this.
Now for the bubble burst. The reason they work on the galaxy note is the new QUAD Core cpu and 2 GB Very fast ram .. samsung tried to release a less ram/power version of the 10.1 note with a higer res display. they backed the display down and increased the cpu//ram. this is also to support the WACOM S PEN..
I have been reading alot about the device because mine will be here Monday. So the above if from my reading and research. I can update you more mid next week.. I do not see a need for split windows on a 7 inch screen .. get the overscreen browser and try it.. JUST Does not work for productive work...
Hope this help make it more understandable... too bad samsung did not make the n7 . i give up because of the screen issues sent two of them back and will NOT order a 3rd...
Dude. Overskreen DOES NOT work on Jelly Bean. And it is just one app, vs an entire suite of Google Apps.
Also there's no need for window management.
Nexus 7 has a quad-core processor too, just less RAM - which isn't even a problem, it still can handle side by side apps.
And you're telling some weird stuff here. We are talking about Galaxy Note 2, which allows more apps, and works better. AND it works on a 5 inch screen, so it'll be awesome on a seven inch.
So yeah, please don't come back with your 'research' to tell us that you think that this feature is unnecessary.
i hope sincerely as a dev can make a mod for port this feature in future beacause it's very usefull even if work only with google apps it's better ,
anyone know if a moded youtube apps existing for play a video on background because i search since 3 month but not find ?
thx
I don't think there is one, sadly. Android doesn't support true multitasking
While i would love to have or port this it simply isnt possible, it requires a lot of changing to the frameworks and it would be hard to decompile all of samsungs sources and extract it.

Stock android not, but there are a few roms with cornerstone, i think mainly on 10 inch tablets.
Web os did this kinda on a dual core wish android would absorb that multitasking feature right now running multiple apps kinda is a hit and miss

I'm downloading apps and they are filling the entire screen, but the text is very small. Obviously phone apps.
Are there any specifically made for bigger tablet screens?
Try checking the Apps section of the nexus 7 XDA forum and you will find a thread about tablet optimised apps. There is also a section in the play store, under apps, for "staff picks for tablets".

Thanks. Why isn't call of duty elite compatible with the nexus?
What I dislike is that some app manufacturers are selling "Tablet Optimized" versions of apps for more money.
While it MIGHT be one thing if it had special (new) features or something that made it worth more money, but I dislike having to buy the same app over again, sometimes for a hefty premium, just so the resolution is good.
Check out this: Must Have Android Apps for Google Nexus 7 to find some good apps tailored for Nexus 7
I'd recommend not wasting your time clicking that link. Lists Facebook & instagram (not tablet optimized) and Netflix (not exactly a secret) along other common and or not so useful apps.

Did you try going to Settings > System > Font Size and change it to your preference?
Generally apps that have HD in the title/description are optimized for tablets. I find that a lot of apps don't scale the splash screen very well but the app itself works well. A good example of this NBC News. The main menu doesn't scale up but the articles display fine.

Clean ROM 2.5 - leanKernel 0.7
I had the original Nexus 7, and loved it; however, only after I was able to root it and install a ROM that supported a "true tablet UI." The Phablet UI was nothing more than a bother to me, as apps that had a separate version for phones and tablets, I would always end up running the phone version. I would think with a 1080p resolution combined with a 7" screen a tablet UI would have no problems being ran. From what I can see, it looks as if the Phablet UI will be standard again.
How quickly do you think ROMs will come out and be able to run a true tablet UI? Also, are there any other tablets coming out soon that will be a competitor, with a 1080p screen, and running a true tablet UI? Maybe with external storage, as well?
Tablet Mode was phased out and no longer officially supported. We only have Tablet Mode thanks to the the wonderful Devs finding and activating the code.
SO... we probably won't have tablet mode out of the box, but custom roms like AOKP and others now know how to force tablet UI. So it would (should) just be a matter of time until those are ported.
There still are separate 10 inch layouts for the apps and even the systemui. The resolution doesn't determine which layout is used. The number of DP's is what determines it. This is calculated by the screen resolution and the LCD density setting. 4.1 had no effect on how third party apps gave their layouts. It just added a separate 7 inch layout.

I want to add my voice that I agree with OP.
Phablet UI is the most retarded GUI for a tablet.
I will not be upgrading to 4.3 until our fantastic devs have added true tablet ui back.

I use N7 in portrait mode most of the time, and find the phablet UI fantastic. Tablet mode confuses me, why would I want to use something quite different then my phone, just for the sake of being different, stock N7 looks great. Yes, some apps are run in phone mode, but if you bug developers enough, they'll add N7 into the code so it'll be run in tablet mode specifically.

Um.... because you're already using something quite different from your phone? If you want to use your phone, use your phone. If you want to use a tablet, it shouldn't be forced to the same UI that is optimized for extremely small screens.

Pretty much this. The current UI is the "Android UI" now.
