If you have Tweetcaster Premium installed you must first uninstall and reboot. All settings lost as well.

great find OP...
Hopefully the devs make it so that you can select a picture and then tap/hold to bring up sharing options... gotta share those #tittytuesday and #thongthursday pics
same with avys too...
once thats done this will be my daily

Do you have any other versions of tweetcaster installed?

Love it! Works great on the Xoom. Tweetcaster Premium works fine for me as well. I'm keeping both for now.

Definitely the best twitter app I've used, and I've tried practically every one since I've had my Xoom. Now I'd just love to find an equally functional and awesome Facebook app. Any suggestions?

I agree 100%, love tweetcaster but the facebook situation on honeycomb is bad enough that I don't even bother checking it on my tablet.

Here you go, working fine on my Xoom.

i really like the appearance of this app,the one thing that seems like a pretty big flaw IMO is the way they integrate lists. there is currently no way to put them in the same "tabs" as the others, and if you want to view your lists they open in a pop up.
posting to FB is nice, but i'd also like to see full integration of FB into the timelines a la Tweetdeck.

I would like to see Tweetdeck port over the desktop version for Android Tablet usage. I already use Tweetdeck on my EVO 4G. I would love something more robust on my Xoom. Still, Tweetcaster HD is good so far. If only they would make a Friendcaster HD, that would rock.

Chrome, chrome, chrome.....

Ordered my nexus 7 (x2) as soon as there was a button on the UK website. Now I know chrome is the default browser, so I thought sweet, I'll install it on my a500 so I can get used to it before the tab arrive's.
Omg, what a piece of rubbish, every time I change tabs from XDA to another site the page is just plain white, then back to XDA since it was already tabbed and loaded you'd assume it would still be, but no. Its plain white. Then to piss me off even more halve way though writing this post it crashed lol! What kind of a browser crashes inputting text lol. I wanted to like it, in fact I do like the interface but the bugs are just not fun!
uninstalling that crap and going with the good old opera
Anyone else having probs with it ?

I'll just, use dolphin HD as I have been for awhile.

You must have something wrong with your A500, because that's not the experience I get on my Xoom or Galaxy Nexus...

The plain ol' Browser will be on the Market for download. I have no idea why Chrome is the default browser.

I don't know about A500 roms but to me it sounds like a memory issue or something, its sort of "killing" tabs to save memory and then reloading them once you need them again. Maybe some background processes eating memory?

It does crash occasionly if you keep getting a white page it can clear by going back a page then trying again if not close it then task kill it after that it will be fine.
Overall I find it to be far better than std browser.

I'm a very "clean user" I have fb opera order and chaos, that's it. thinking though maybe one of the processes I have disabled, chrome uses, I disable everything I don't use, camera Calender live wp themes etc, maybe that's the issue?

It don't crash for me at all...works fine and it doesn't look bad enough to use something else

Chrome runs perfectly on my Galaxy Note without any problems with tabs and, whilst there isn't flash support, I love it because of how it easily syncs my bookmarks from my computer.

I won't be using Chrome much on my N7 much if at all just simply because of the lack of adobe flash player support. Dolphin HD seems like a much better option.

Chrome still needs work. Use opera, or dolphin. Both are extremely fast and a lot less buggy.

Chameleon Launcher

Hey guys,
Some of us backed up/pre-ordered this app/launcher from Teknision. Compared to the touchwiz UI, it seems better but it's so limited.
Any feedbacks?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app

I gave it a go. The real value seems to be their widgets of which there are only a precious few. With some trivial exceptions, the basic blank Chameleon screen looks and acts like every other blank launcher. The ides they promote of a "Morning", "Work" and "Evening" home screen can be accomplished whit any launcher that allows for multiple home screens, which should include everything ever produced since the second Regan term.
I do have to say that the Gmail widget looks great. I would prefer to just have them make that and their other widgets available in the market for a price.
However, the most glaring flaw I saw was that their launcher seems to only work with their own widgets. So the 4 zillion widgets already available in the Play Store do not work with Chameleon. I may be wrong about this due to the next paragraph as my testing/fiddling was forcibly truncated, but I don't think so.
I tried Chameleon for about 45 minutes. After I installed and played with it for a bit, my Tab 7.7 locked up. I got stuck in a boot loop with the Tab 7.7 splash screen; it never even made it to the Verizon 4G splash screen. The only way I could get out was to do a bit of gymnastics with the power and volume buttons between loop sequences and do a complete factory wipe through recovery. I have yet to find a widget that makes a factory wipe seem worthwhile and this was no exception.
So I am done with Chameleon Launcher. Based on what I saw in my 45 minutes, even if the bugs were worked out, I would stick with my current set-up. As always, your mileage may vary.
Doug M.

I agree. Also I noticed that the memory consumption was too big. I hope there would be changes on its way. I expected too much on this and it doesn't beat my stock ui. It always needs Internet connection making it annoying.
Not using it as of now, but still waiting for better offers upon updates.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app

I agree that the current beta leaves much to be desired of.

It is hardly a beta version at the moment. I doubt their concept of html5 widgets will achieve broad acceptance.

Tried to apply for membership on their Site hoping to share my opinions but seems hard to get it.

I had mine installed before I decided to pre order so I just activated my account. You might try opening the beta launcher in Google play, click uninstall, reboot then go back to play store and install the launcher again.

How about un installing it inside the settings>applications>downloaded menu? I since its installed, it might be there. Honestly, I haven't encountered any issue as you did. Just thinking of other options that might be possible. Otherwise, it might be another bug on Teknision's part.

Nope it does not show up, might have to send them an email

I think only some bugs may been worked out but still pretty much the same IMHO
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

i have been using it since it went 1.0 but it i cannot find any difference between it and the beta before it... it is very buggy... and a constant internet connection requirement is something i do not like as i only use wifi... you cannot install your own widgets, which is a negative thing too... and they have such a small number of widgets right now that it is hardly worth your while... but i like the look and it is exactly how i always wanted it... the only thing i care about is that they stop the constant need for widgets thingy, increase their number of their widgets or allow us to install other widgets....

Maps automatically updated from the Play Store today on my S4, it says it is being rolled out slowly so maybe just a select number of downloads at a time while they test it? Not sure.
I like and dislike the new update.
The new UI is pretty smooth and clean.
However they removed the option for zoom buttons. You used to be able to decide if you wanted to display them or not, now there is no option what so ever. However they've added a little help file that shows all the gestures and one i was unaware of (or maybe it is new, probably not) is double tap and hold then drag up to zoom in and drag down to zoom out. Makes up for the lack of buttons I suppose since you can still zoom in/out with one hand/finger.
Another thing I'm a little sour at google for sending the way of the dinosaur is latitude. I always enjoyed stalking my friends, but they've decided to kill latitude altogether. I got an email from google today:
Hello,
Earlier today, we announced that Google Latitude is no longer part of the Google Maps app, and we're retiring Latitude on August 9, 2013.
This means that after August 9, your Latitude friends list will be deleted and you'll lose the ability to share your location with them. There will also be some changes to Location Reporting and Location History, including changes to third-party applications that use Google Latitude. Please see our FAQs for more information.
We understand some of you still want to see your friends and family on a map, which is why we've added location sharing to Google+ for Android (coming soon to iOS).
Thank you for using Google Latitude.
Sincerely,
The Google Latitude Team

So looks like now in order to stalk friends they must use google+ and enable location sharing. Oh well.
Otherwise I am pleased with the changes.

I got mine yesterday, after a couple months wait.

I have the beta running on my phone right now. While I understand it is limited and in beta, I am just not impressed with the application. It is way too limited in terms of customizability. Maybe this will be something they introduce in the full client, but as of right now I just can't see myself using the application daily.

I would agree. I think the real gratification from themes like these come from making them your own. As it stands right now, you can only use pre-made themes. You can add and delete widgets, but at the cost of breaking up the "look". Nothings wrong with this, however if they really want to innovate, they need to design the app to have "base" themes or basic bottom layers that the user can then select and choose coordinating icons and widgets to place on top of the base, however they choose. Basically, they should take all the customization apps like zooper, icon packs, walls, etc. and combine them into an assembly line type app where you add what you want, in the style you want and then it's thrown together for you on your screen, then you fine tune positions etc and boom you have a unique home screen.
I'm sure that this is planned for the future (I hope), but right now, as I tinker with it, I can't see myself using it until it becomes easy to manipulate and customize.
Edit: the built in "themer any widget" is step in the right direction, but it's hard to use. And obviously cannot match all themes
