What are applications that we must have as Galaxy Tab owners?
I have Titanium backup, Dropbox (perfect app), Google sky map, Shazam, ASTRO, Adobe reader, barcode scaner, Copilot Live (good navigation), kindle, Angry birds, NFS Shift, googles, task manager, dungeon hunter, hawx, solitare, skype.
What do you have?
And I'm looking for weather widget, that has animations as the weather is in your location (snowing, clouds, rain..) Whats the name? Used to have it on Galaxy S.
Search for "animated Weather"?
I have FancyWeather, togglewidgets, launcher pro much better than original slow Samsung, Lcd-Density, Nova, Layar, Trapster, WhatsApp, ICQ, a few Videoplayers, Tubemate, mp3downloader....
ADW Launcher / ADW Launcher Ex - Much better than the stock launcher and a great alternative to Launcher Pro.
TweetDeck - Awesome Twitter / Facebook client. You can change font sizes which makes it even better on the tab.
3G Watchdog Pro - See how much data you're using and which apps are using what.

Well aside from Fancy Widgets, you can also try Beautiful Widgets + Beautiful Live Weather + Beautiful animation pack too...
Titanium Backup, Market Enabler, Launcher Pro/ADW (though I'm on LP right now, I have tried both and love it) are mainstays!!!
Try LG Optimus x2 weather and time widget. Its super awesome.

i thought the nfs shift wasnt compatible for tab? thats what it says on galaxy market?
or do you have the version from the samsung apps?
Guys, are there any tablet-optimized or tablet-only apps in the market? Or is there any online catalog that lists all such apps which are designed specifically for tablets?

Actually that is the problem for Android, our OS is optimized for mobile phones only... AFAIK there is no app like that in the market...
Actually I've found one. It's touchdown for exchange servers. The only that's different is it lists all of your messages on the left, much like the email program that Samsung has for the tab. I use exchange email a lot for work, and this makes the experience so much more delightful.
Dolphin HD browser is a must for me: I find it much faster than the stock browser and has many useful features missing in the other great browser Miren, which I used to swear by. Love being able to use jestures for most usual browsing tasks. Also I find Thumb Keyboard to be most useful to me. While I love the concept of Swype I don't much like it in practice. Typing using both thumbs while in landscape mode is much quicker for me. I also find the arrow keys indispensable for navigating text entry.
Miren browser is awesome too. I found it ran more smooth on the Tab's stock (garbage) ROM when I had only used Dolphin up until that point. Even now that I am running a very smooth and fast ROM I still use Miren.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab running Roto-JMI v1
I'm currently using the launcher with a difference - K's Launcher. I've found that it suits the Tab really well, at least what I use it for.

EA mobile has a nfl game only for the tab in the market. I got it and it runs good on the tab. We should support it as they may make more for us.

GTA 3 force closes instantly on both Quattro and CM9. If it works for you maybe the issue lies elsewhere.

Hello,
I love to play the Settlers online.
www.thesettlersonline.com
And I would like to play it on my Android device.
Since the creators of the Settlers online don't want to think about making the game playable on any other device than pc, I was wondering if someone XDA could make a forwarder or something...
The biggest problem is, it uses Flash.
I, for one, have got a Xperia S which does not have much capabilities about Flash games.
I tried Dolphin browser and other browsers, but it wouldn't work.
bought hisense smart tv but no play store has opera store and browser. really lookin to get kodi and other andriod based apks onto smart tv but opera doesn't offer much.
