I thought it would be nice to compile a list of essential (WORKING) Apps and Games that a potential Gtab owner would want.

I see a lot of Angry Birds, Documents To Go, and Google Apps, but what are the other great tablet compatible apps out there?

I would recommend the XDA forum app. Its essential to any would be hacked Gtab owner.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ima_UNC_fan:
My list includes...

Zeam - Great launcher

Fancy Widgets - Free weather/clock widget

TV Guide Mobile - See what's on TV and set reminders

TV.com - Decent TV viewing app

Dolphin Browser HD - Great browser. Set it to "Desktop" mode. No need to be mobile on the GTab

Google Books - My wife is using this...she loves it so far.

BuzzBox - Great RSS reader. I use it as a widget to show the latest news stories.

Fox News - 'nuff said....

Our Groceries - Shopping list sharing. Used on my Moto Droid, my wifes BB and the GTab. Seriously...we make less trips to the store now for those things you always seem to forget...

Mobile Andrio - Mario Brothers emulator. My 4yo won't leave this game alone. Plays it on the GTab even though he has it on the DS and Wii. Personally...I don't get it. The DS and Wii are made for this but at least it works on the GTab

XDA - Of course I have this!

Currently experimenting with...

doubleTwist

Yahoo Messenger + Video Add-on

Videos (movies) - Putting our movie collection on the GTab.

A good way of sharing apps is to create a public list on AppBrain.

And on that note; if you're not using AppBrain, you should be.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
Im hosting a game. Yes everybody is invited to play it. The goal is to develop something whether it is a theme, rom, app or widget. (Anything really, but preferably for the evo and if its a theme or rom, sense based. If it is a theme, please be red.) You may submit anything that has been previously posted, but only if it offers something new. (For example, transparent pull down for odex based roms.)

After we have submissions, we will vote on a poll that I will open.

The prize is a 16 gig micro sd card. All I ask for is if the winner wants special shipping, that he/she donates the shipping to my paypal.

So, let the games begin. ;)

Deadline is 12/22/2010 (in time for christmas)

[Legend General] Tracebustabustabusta:
I'm getting pretty agitated at this bug I've run into since updating to froyo (unbranded, not rooted ever) and are running out of ideas on how to fix it. please read below.

Basically what happens is that the wifi stops working after the phone has gone into sleep mode, resulting in it showing as the wifi is still active in the notification bar (which it isn't) or it switches off and is unable to turn on again but is shown as active in the system settings...

As you can imagine this is getting pretty irritating as I have to manually reset wifi all the time and manually check for emails (which froyo also caused push email to not work anymore, anyway).

The router and router settings are the same since pre-froyo. So far I have tried to:

* Change wifi policy in settings

* Factory reset

* Usb debug mode

* Tried various apps to prevent wifi from:

** Going into sleep at all/failing (not working, it still fails after some time)

** Automatically restart or re-associate wifi after sleep (works like 50% of the time)
[Continuum General] ThePravus:
I know this is another GalaxyS device, but it seems that there really isnt any interest for it in the community. Does the ticker screen cause enough compatibility issues that we most likely wont see Cyanogen or anything for it? What about support from Samsung, are we likely to fall behind the curve for 2.2 release?

Iv had it for a few days and I love the formfactor, but Im considering swapping it for a fascinate for the modability. Any opinions?
[Continuum General] Weudel:
There is currently no support from the developer community, but all it takes is one good dev and we'll be in business. There's really no way of knowing if 2.2 will lag behind, since no US Galaxy S phones have gotten the update yet... Only time will tell on both I'm afraid.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
Samsung has began releasing the 2.2 update in certain countries from what I've read. So it should only be a matter of time before the USA gets it. The update will come via Kies I believe (Samsung's update software for PC).

As for custom ROMs for the Continuum, I believe development may be slow for this phone due to the ticker display. The ticker makes it more difficult to develop for. However, I'm confident we'll get some custom ROMs at some point. I'd be really nice if Samsung skipped 2.2 and went straight to 2.3 but that'll never happen.
[Continuum General] Tierneykev:
One of the first things we are going to need is a custom recovery to be able to backup/restore the phone. I suspect this will take someone loaning their phone to koush in order to get clockwork recovery and rom manager support. I know I am leery to try anything without having a way to restore, even if I have to restore to default.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
Yeah a stock ROM would be excellent. There will be plenty of people who delete necessary apps with root access even before custom ROMs are available.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
Well we're gonna need a custom recovery first, so that is one of the bigger issues.
[Continuum General] ThePravus:
Sent Koush a tweet asking what he would need and offered my phone for a period of time. I still have my D1 I can use.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
That's great! Well it's a good start at least. I guess it's the only option, for now at least.

[Continuum General] ThePravus:
Oh who am I sending it to? Koush, guy who does clockwork and rom manager.

That is awesome! Maybe now we can get a recovery!
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
Sounds good. Just keep us up to date.
[Continuum General] duddy:
I'm about to get a Continuum tomorrow and after being a long time iPhone user, I look forward to cooking some roms up for it.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:

[Continuum General] strawbearlyjamm:
Glad to see the Continuum Forum up and running! I know very little about development and such, but I'm open to testing out things. I'll be following the threads here as much as possible.

I was thrilled with the idea of this phone when it was released, but the limits on the ticker make it nearly unusable (no gmail? and Samsung's e-mail app is horrible).

I was thinking about returning it, but with the new found forum here on XDA, my hope is renewed.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
Ok so, I've given it the mmost time I was willing not to say anything, but Can we please get an update or 2? PLEASE!!!!!! It's killling me!!!!!!
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Let's not get ungrateful or we'll never get any devs in here...
[Continuum General] dfgged:
I'm not being ungrateful, I've been holding myself back from asking for any updates because I know that's a devs FAVORITE thing (Sarcasm). I'm just gonna have to keep waiting like everyone else, but I just had to ask.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_rob7488:
I switch back and forth between different ROMs frequently, but for some reason I needed to redownload the CM6.1 using ROM Manager and when I do so it will not allow me to download the Google Apps. It simply gives me a Download Error. Anyone have any suggestions? I am currently still using CM6.1 but without any gmail or google apps.

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
why doesn't samsung do what us rooted people do?

Our ROMS are usually faster, and more stable than their stock ones... why not use some of the ideas from us and improve on it?
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Because they'd loose customers.

Sent from the Bermuda Triangle.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
how would they lose customers if they just improved their software by working with the devs' roms on here?
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
theres a difference between what we love to do (maximizing our vibrants) and what the set "standard" will be for all people. They have a marketing department and analyze what their customers want, trust me, they know more than you when it comes to sales, after all, that's their main concern.

you'd be surprised how many people think the vibrant is the most amazing phone on earth out of the box, I have many friends who just lose interest if i ever mention any mods they can make because they dont care, they like their safe, warrantied vibrant.

EDIT: Not to mention Master would probably try and sue them :D
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Because not everyone goes for tacky or buggy. I'm speaking for regular consumers when I say these roms here don't cut it. Especially the heavily themed ones. Really horrific... has one actually reached a release status with no serious bugs?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
thats why i said they can use these and improve it, because i'm sure Samsung knows that with the custom ROMS people are getting better battery life, stable, etc.

why not use their ROMs and improvise it, or work with the DEVS?
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Obsidian V5, Onyx 4.2, Macnut R14, Nero beta3 and Ginger Clone are pretty bug free. If you have major issues with one of these, you're doing it wrong.:D
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Can you imagine your mother flashing a custom Rom? lol
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
but im not talking about it being a "custom rom"

if samsung worked on it, and improved it, then it'd be a OFFICIAL ROM.

;) but i get what your trying to say. haha
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
What makes you think that Samsung isn't using some of the code that is available or getting input from other devs out/inside of XDA? This is technically an OPEN platform. Where do you think the source for this stuff comes from?

Regardless, from my personal experience dealing with electrronics, once you buy a "new" product you are subsiquently beta testing for the next beta version... This is paradigm of electronic development/ownership.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I agree with the bolded part.

They might be using some of it, but i mean with the stock, most peopel dont have too much good battery, and some of these ROMS give GREAT battery life, why dont they use that part of the code?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Samsung isn't going to take hacks from XDA. It's not happening nor has it. XDA didn't fix the aGPS, XDA didn't fix much of anything... they take what SAMSUNG gives them and hack it up.

Lagfixes are hacks.

Battery life enhancements aren't rocket science. One bad release with a bug that sucks up battery life doesn't mean they don't know how to optimize their software for the best performance. And you STILL have people saying "my battery life sucks".

I highly doubt all of the roms don't have some random bug in them besides looking horrible.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't know how to or is unwilling to release its source. The I9000 source wouldn't even compile. So we are left with hacks and workarounds. They aren't going to integrate that into their OS. One thing to keep in mind about Samsung is that they do quitea bit of business with the worlds largest pirate, China. I honestly believe that they release their source in a way that they technically comply with the GPL, but don't make it easy to clone. My mom worked for Motorola for 30 years before her division was sold off. Moto had what appeared to be a sweet contract in China only to see it undermined by clones of their devices and government indifference to laws.

Unfortunately, they are also going to stick with that hideous iOS knockoff interface as well. I want my phone to look like an Android device, not a flea market clone of an iPhone. I honestly wish i'd done more research on the phone and read the Behold 2 forums before buying the phone. If it wasn't for the devs here, I'd be sporting a N1 or G2.

[Vibrant General] samnada:
What statistical evidence do you have to support that contention? I hope you're not basing it on counting forum posts. That would be like sitting in an ER trying to gauge the general population accident rates. Do you know how many Vibrants have been sold, and what actual percentage of users have at least "acceptable" battery life? Same applies to GPS, lag, and every other problem you see posted here. Getting accurate facts about user experiences with a phone is not easy. If we had them I bet a lot of the "mystery" about why Samsung does or doesn't do certain things would be pretty obvious.

How about Grandpa ?

I am old enough to be a grandpa to alot of you punks and I flash, write script, and customize at least once a week.

Some of the other posting in here hit it on the head. The Marketing makes sure people are wow'd by all the useless s#*t software.......... in fact marketing strive to only drive the perception that's all they care about ...that 1st impression is all they care about, once you buy marketing is done... the rest is up to tech from there on...

I've owned alot of phones and this is the best for customizing of all I have owned. Remember, think globally, like Russia, Peru, Papua New Guinea, Chad...... you think these people even know what a ROM is ?

It's very slow on my Wildfire. Does someone have the APK of the previous version which came with the 1.37 ROM (with tabs)? Or is there another way to revert back?
[Wildfire General] fifarunnerr:
I've tried the latest market also(the one at first post), and i'm now back to latest official market:

Go to Applications ---> Manage applications --> Market --> Uninstall Updates

Now you're back on first market(without auto-update), time to get back to the latest one. Open this market and browse a little bit.

After that, open a taskkiller(don't know if inbuild taskmanager works, I guess it does) and go to settings. Enable 'Show system processes', and go back to the taskkiller. Then Kill the apps 'market' and 'market updater'. Open the market again, and you've got the market with tabs and auto-update.

----

Above worked for me, I can't garantee it's working for you, but I hope it does ;)

Maybe a little note: When browsing on the old market(without tabs), the sync logo appeared in notification bar. I think that meant he was updating the market again.
[Wildfire General] faraaz:
Thanks, worked! The "new" market looks very smooth, but I prefer speed.

Lol. Muppet. Reboot sorted it... should've known, funny thing is that's the first good thing I've found about having the s-on boot :)

Walkthrough of Froyo SD install, configuration, and overclocking

Anyone who is a bit confused and not sure where to begin or what's involved in the process, I wrote up a little guide to help:

How to Pick your Nook Color Operating System and Install Options

And then for those who need a helping hand for the individual install flavors, check out the guides I wrote:

If you're having stability / force close / file corruption trouble with an SD installed OS (like verygreen's), or just want to install internally, here's my guide to installing phiremod to eMMC (internal memory):

Guide to Installing CyanogenMod 7 (phiremod flavor) on eMMC

For anyone looking to install CyanogenMod 7 with Dalingrin's overclocking and Bluetooth on your Nook Color (via SD card) I just wrote a little guide, particular good for newbies or people having trouble:

Guide to Installing CyanogenMod 7 on an SD card

And if you want to run Froyo off SD with the Dalingrin OC kernel and all the apps/configurations you'd need to really start off right. It refers out to the various other documents and links you'll need, like the NookDev SD card creation doc, their tips and tricks, the Dalingrin OC kernel thread, and adds a list of other changes/apps most users might want to have. I wrote it because if you're like me and don't do this on a regular basis you benefit from a bit of hand holding, and having all the steps arranged in order across the various disparate guides. So, if you think it's useful, great!
