Transparent apps for G Tablet?

I have looked around and tried the available transparent apps for other Android devices and so far the only one I have found that works on the G Tablet is the Pandora app. I really would like to find some more. If anyone has the apk's please post. Thank you in advance!!

here is a version of the news/weather aka genie widget that is transparent..
you have to manually copy to the system/app with root explorer. and reboot.

Thanks Igkagn! I appreciate it! I have a transparent version of the XDA app on my X that I love but it wont work on the g tablet. I would love to find one that worked. Thanks again.
Come on guys, quit holding out! Thanks!

i'm new here, pardon the question, but what is a transparent app?

It's an app that is transparent. You can see your wallpaper instead of a solid background. I have an XDA app on my Droid X that is transparent except for the writing and a market that is transparent as well but they wont run on my g tablet so I was hoping more people might have the apps that would work on the g tablet. As you can see, not so much. Hmmmm

NON-Xoom HoneyComb Applications and Widgets

I was thinking that we could make a thread where we could share any application or widget found in any of the other HoneyComb tablets (Acer, Asus, Samsung, LG etc.)
Here is a couple that have been tried, tested and found to be working on the Xoom.
ASUS TRANSFORMER:
MyWater Live Wallpaper
The thread and instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048959 thanks to sano614
This is by far my favorite Live Wallpaper to date on the Xoom, the water level rises or falls depending on the battery level and when charging a lot of tiny bubble float up like in a fish tank.
Weather Widget
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048959
A widget I would describe as similar to Beautiful Widgets with a (naked) background and your cities name in huge white letters
Screenshots can be found at the link.
ACER ICONIA:
SocialJogger (Social Hub for Twitter and FaceBook)
App is only working in portrait mode. But the widget definitely works.

Thanks to ericssonka and supr2nr
That is all for now but I will update this thread as I find more or as readers contribute with their own finds.

Found this in the Transformer system dump. But I can not get it to install maybe someone with more knowledge can help. I'm guessing it is a HC optimized screenshot application.

Good idea to keep this information centralized so it can be linked and found easily

Thanks that's the idea. Title isnt really catchy though.

Regarding the screenshot apk: I tried to sign it to see if it would install but no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

How did you try to install it? Did you place the file in the system/app directory and reset the permissions on it or did you actually try to install the apk through the package installer?
Would you mind uploading the signed copy of it so I can play around with it?

Both actually. First I used RE to put it in system/app then reset permissions and rebooted.
Then I went back in and made sure the premissin were - User: Read ,Write Guest:Read then rebooted again.
Then I copied the. Ode file over and rebooted
Then I tried using the installer
Last I dropped the. Apk into an auto-sign for Mac and tried to install again via installer

I'm trying to sign the 3 .apks I pulled from the transfomer dump and I'm using "sign+test sign" for Mac to auto-sign does anyone know if I actually have to open the apk first to break the original signature?
Also, is this the best way to do this?

Deodexing is not currently possible for honeycomb, well have to wait.

Thanks Alias, I figure it is the lack of source code that's at fault?
Also I'm looking for the dump of the Acer Iconia because it has a few widgets I liked. If any one spots it let me know.

Any ICS launcher with folders in app drawer?

The only one I could find is go launcher but its laggy on ICS rocket rom 1.5? Any suggestions?.... Thanks... Envy
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Go to the market and give Go Launcher Ex a try. Best Launcher out there IMO and it is free.
Folders in App drawer, on home screens and in quick launch area as well.
Claude H.

Have you found any other launchers that can do this except go launcher ex? To bad you cant hide the drawer when using it on tablets.

Try SSLauncher, folders were just added, they're called parcels.

Could you tell me how to create a folder in the drawer? Desktop is easy.

nova prime.
settings - drawer - drawer groups - folder - add

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:

We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.

Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...

[Q] Launchers for HD 8.9 or 7?

Anyone know if any third party launchers will work on the Fire HD 8.9? Like Nova, Apex, or Go...just wondering at this point. Haven't got mine yet!

many people use third party launchers.
the thing is that we got lost root after firmware update from amazon.

7.2.2 working with root 7"
7.2.2 now rooted using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1783
And so far, i have Go Launcher HD working great.
Chameleon, ADW and APEX not working yet, force closing, but may be something i've not configured correctly.

EVERY launcher I've tried so far worked, it's just important to make sure that there are no spaces in the filename when you put the file into the system folder I've noticed that by taking a close look at the launchers, which used to crash immediately, and got them working by removing the space in the filename.
I personally prefer using adw launcher 1.3.3.8.

Yes all launchers I downloaded from the play store so have worked. You just need to convert it to a system app. The short of it: move apk from /data/app/ folder to /system/app/ folder, then reboot
