If you are getting an error when you try to download the apps then just go to the website on your computer and make the purchase and install from there.

Thanks for the info

Nice list, thanks for the info.
A maybe related topic here. Anyone know a App like "App shopper" on iOS? Where you can subscribe to an existing app and got a instant email notification once it's on sale.

Downloaded Fieldrunners !!! Good time killer game.

Is there any point to getting Read it Later if I'm on ICS? Or are there any features that it has that the page saving thing in ICS can't do?

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what's on tomorrow

This is getting to be addictive. LOL

Reckless Racing isn't working for me. Guess it's not ICS compatible yet or something.
NOTICE: Oh and I recommend downloading Reckless Racing Play version as it is the HD version. Don't waste your 10 cents on the other one like I did.

Nexus 7 For The Elderly

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.

How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.

Anyone know of such a launcher?

No problem. The only launcher that might suit your needs would be a heavily customized apex launcher.

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.

Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things

Note 2 Only Supports 4 Icons in Rows

Look at these official photos from cnet..... Pay particular attention to photos 2 and 15.... Although there are 5-icons in the dock at the bottom, the rest of the screen only has 4 app icons across each row.... Makes me glad I didn't wait to get the Note 2: http://m.cnet.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-debuts-photos/10013559

That's launcher dependent only. Download another launcher and you'll be able to have 5 rows of icons again. But yeah, it's stupid they went back to the default 4 rows on the Note 2. Guess that's the price to pay for a True HD display...

Yah but the extra RAM and better processor will make you want to get the note. And if the note 2 is as sexy as the S3...youre definitely gonna wish you waited for the Note 2.
And btw, you can always root and install a tweaked version of the launcher.

... Your complaing about rows of icons? Thats like complaining about a new car saying you dont like the song the radio is playing... Change it... your on xda man. Most people here tend to switch roms and kernals, changing a launcher or even less (a launcher setting) is a non issue

What a WINNING comment you sir are a gentleman and a scholar
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Lord.... I wasn't complaining about the Note 2..... I was merely pointing out the screen is probably too narrow to natively support 5-icon rows..... I totally understand we are of course, free to install various ROMs on our devices... Heck, I had an old HD2 that I tried out more ROMs on than I can remember.... But as my daily driver phone..... I really prefer not to void it's factory warranty

Settings ; Launcher Settings ; Screen preferences (different title depending on which launcher) ; Number of rows.
No warranty voiding required at least 5 free top launchers have this option in the play store. I cant wait for this phone in the us
From my X2 roaming the north

Although I have tried out several 3rd party launchers in the past, I've always found they slow down things a bit (unless you can natively disable the original launcher without rooting the device)... Otherwise you're running a launcher on top of another launcher

I guess i just root and take care of all those issues, but then again with 2gb of ram im betting you could handle 2 launchers if you for some reason dont just replace the old one.

Just in case anyone's interested, I've got a Note 2 and I've just installed Nova Launcher.
its perfectly fine with five columns of icons.

Hidden (kinda) Tiny Planet Feature!

I haven't seen this talked about too much. Did a search and nothing came up as well. But if you take a full 360 photosphere, you can make it into a Tiny Planet!
Instructions:
1. Open your camera and switch to Photosphere mode.
2. Using Photosphere, take a FULL 360 picture. You must hit EVERY spot possible.
3. Save the picture and allow it to render.
4. Open your gallery and tap on the picture. If you did it right, you will have the option to share to Google Maps (using the share icon) and also in the bottom right will be a button to turn it into a Tiny Planet, which opens up more options.

I asked about this in another thread. Apparently this was a early feature of photo sphere but got removed in final version. Let's hope we see it make a come back would be awesome!!

I'm running the latest OTA and it is there. But like I said, it has to be a FULL 360 photosphere. Meaning you need to get everyone single spot you can see. This will also allow you to upload your photosphere to Google Maps.

Ohh cool. Will try it out. Thanks

I can't believe everyone with a Nexus doesn't know about this neat-o feature.. Seeing as it'd exclusive to your phone..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Looks cool.

Also if you take the photosphere and flip it 180° in the gallery editor, and before saving go to the last tab in the editor (the one with the +/-) the first option will be the tiny planet, but this time it would create an inverse tiny planet. The sky in the center and the surface on the outside. A little more difficult to create, but can look really cool.

Making phone look different.

Hi.
Im sick of seeing icons everytime I turn on my phone, is there anything I can use to make it different? I dont care it its like windows with the blocks, just something different then the 4 icons each row.

Use folders, each folder can be of a different type i.e. Games, Web based, Productivity and Entertainment.
The only limit is you imagination, don't forget you can always nest folders as well.

Good idea. I was thinking about making some round doughnut things as well but don't know how.

There's lots of launchers.. Windows 8 launchers for example.. Need to experiment with them... And look up the theme section in android general..

I tried that and liked it. Except the stock lock screen still active even when I turn it off. So I have the stock one and the W8 one. Its annoying.

You can make it look however you want, you imagination is the limit. Just go onto the homescreens thread and look there for inspiration.
