anyone find the new Motorola 2.1 apps?

The Motorola Milestone Android 2.1 update has apparently been released in Europe and it includes some new Motorola custom apps: a replacement camera app; a new Motorola-specific Facebook app, and a custom CarHome app.
I haven't found anywhere much info about or screen shots of these yet as it looks like the update was just pushed yesterday.
Has anyone seen these apps floating around out there in an APK form for us to install on our Nexuses?

I've got a Milestone that has been at 2.1 for a couple of weeks now (love leaks).
I'll pull the APK's from the rom and post them, if you are interested. It would not shock me if they have run problems out of the box.

I'd like these as well if you don't mind.

I'd be interested in the email app with the new exchange security features.
I looked on android git and it doesn't seem like anything new has been committed to the email app in the last 7 weeks though.

Bump, anyone?

Just plugged in my 'stone - what apks do you want?
EDIT: I'm pulling /system/app and posting the zip to Filedropper as we speak. I'll post the link in a few seconds.

I've tried a few of them. The Facebook app doesn't seem like a massive improvement. The Moto Car Home app is less fancy but probably easier to use hile driving than the N1 - it is a rectangle with 6 big buttons. Milestone has the N1 and the Droid absolutely killed with the photo editor app. The camera and video app is OK - the effects mode is very nice, though I don't use that, but can't touch the Desire cam for speed and function. The corporate email and calendar apps apparantly still work pretty well with exchange (they already did with 2.0 and 2.0.1). The audio equalizer is very nice - I wish that the N1 had that (it hasn't changed from 2.0.1, that I can tell).
Here is the link to all of the apps. All are de-odexed.

Thanks for posting this. Camera app FC on me . I really like the way milestone camera works and hoping that I can use it on my N1. Moto phone portal works pretty well with N1.
How did you get MotoCamera to work on your N1?

Which one is the new FB app? If it's the Facebook.apk then it's the same one that comes on our nexus'......

Has anyone tried to install the photo editor app he mentioned? If it'll install through a file manager on a stock N1, then I'm wondering how it compares to Adobe's app.

Would like to know about that too^^^
The moto phone portal app is really cool too! works perfectly

Do u have too be rooted to install the phone portal and what does it do?

it lets you back up contacts, photos, sms.
And it lets you send/recieve sms from your phone using wifi, it's all done through a web page, really neat!
and idk if you have to be rooted or not :/

You are all welcome.

The photo editor is pretty close to Photoshop Mobile for Android, except it is linked to the Gallery, so opening a photo anywhere that uses the Gallery offers the edit options in the menu.
Therein lies the rub: at least on the Milestone, you have to use the 'stone's gallery to use the 'stone's editor. I have both the Milestone gallery and the Nexus gallery on my Milestone for exactly this reason.
When I get a chance, I'll try the Gallery and Photo Editor on my N1 to see if it works.

What about the Email app? Has anyone tried it yet?
Does it have any improvements compared to the stock app?

must my phone rooted for this apps??

Why dont you just try it?
If it doesnt work then you'll probably need it rooted

[Q] Readers Hub

I got my tab in Norway yesterday and i noticed that the news and magazine section is not activated yet. Does anyone know when "Service will be available soon" is? Like 1 week, month, half a year?
Update: News and Magazines seems to be available to most people now, just open Readers Hub and click on Install. Personally i only got the update for Zinio.
If you don't get the install option try to go into "Manage applications" find the Readers Hub app and clear data, then start the app again.

Been trying to google an answer myself. Wished Samsung would come out with an official statement. It's one of the most anticipated things on my list.

from what i can tell they dont work anywhere yet (mines italian)

Not working for me in Malaysia yet as well.

Same here in Dubai. Firmware JPJJ1. Does anyone see them active using any other firmware?

Zinio isn't even available if you go to their homepage.
It was supposed to be relased this summer.

It appears to be available, as per some reviews. See PC World hands on with the Galaxy Tab.
So the question is, has it been pulled back due to some reason... or if it is to be made available in only select markets?
Either way, it's quite unfortunate, as Zinio was one of the features I was looking forward to in the Galaxy Tab.

German tab in the netherlands not activated either
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

UK: only Kobo e-books available, out of the 3 options in the reader "hub".

I found the reader hub apps, taken from the Tab, and I loaded them on Desire HD.
Zinio is working, and I was able to download the magazines that I purchased (I have a subscription from the time I owed an iPad). News papers are working too.
Why it is not working on the Tab ?
Zinio launch says Zinio beta - it is the same on Tab ?
I am waiting for my Tab to arrive soon, and I was looking forward to read my magazines from Zinio.
Could you guys upload those files and see if it is working ?

This worked! - showthread.php?t=827566 (I can't post links here yet)...
Perhaps it's the limited catalogue for Android/Tab formatted content that has prompted Samsung to hold back until later...

I've tried, this and it works.
If you install the zinio and press reader only, only the press reader app is available in readers hub.
If you install the readers hub as well, you'll end up with two applications "readers hub" and "ReadingHub", and in the later one. Zinio is available.
Downloading my Zinio subscriptions right now, unfortunately it crashed..
Update: Was able to download an issue now but the internal pdf-viewer doesn't seem to work so it is pretty much back to square one.

Hi there
can u please explain how you managed to fix this? im still not able to use this service :-(

It seems to be a problem with Zinio on the new magazines.
When I try to download the new issue on iPhone, the app crashes. The old magazines (October or November) are working fine - download and read.
Same thing happens on Desire HD.

Where can I get the apps? Any idea?

Link to apk:s are in the first post on this page.

I just bought a subscription and downloaded it... it seemed like the magazine would not load but zooming in a tiny bit opened the page?? It seems like the preview won't open/render properly.
I don't understand why this would happen. As I don't have any old subscriptions to try, I can't comment on the ability to load past issues. I wish Zino would fix this.... I can't be that hard to rectify!

According to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, readers hub will be ready «in a week or two».

Same here. On Macworld from August there is no need to zoom - I think they change the format from that time.
Let's hope they will come soon with a proper release app.

[Q] How to do video chat on this tablet

Please help.
Very new on Android and I'm trying to figure out the basic stuffs. Bought 2 of these tablet so I can do video chat with my wife and kids.
People have posted that Google talk works but I don't know how to set it up. I looked in the market and didn't see any Google talk app in there so I'm assuming that it's web-based. Googled it and didn't find any link that will set it up for me. I setup my browser (Dolphin HD) as either Android or Desktop and still can't find any link that will launch the app. I Also looked on these forums but can't find a set of instructions that work, just some posts that fix the issues.
An Idiot's guide will work for me.

I believe Google Talk was already loaded on mine. The icon is a speech bubble that says "Talk" in it. It works beautifully for video chat.

Check your installed apps, it should already have been installed on the device. It's apps called 'Talk.' It's one of Googles default apps, also one that can't be found on the market.

Look on the next page if you have more than one. Just swipe your finger across the screen when looking at your Apps screen. My icon for Google talk is on the 2nd page of installed apps.

If for some reason you dont like google talk, tango is another free app in the market, and i like it quite a bit.

Tango an fring are cross platform.

They may be cross mobile platform (iOS, Android), but not on PC. With google talk you can go tablet to PC. And soon it will be available for gingerbread phones. And hopefully it will get iOS support eventually and work on all platforms. Or, maybe skype will eventually get Android support.

Don't count on getting skype video for android now. They were working on a video chat version, but now Microsoft has just bought them.

Thanks akashhhh, for pointing out the Chat app on the TF. It looks promising. As soon as I can snatch the new TF back from my wife, I'll try it out. I may have to buy another one. She has taken possession of it, and won't let loose.

R.I.P possibility of Skype Video on Android.. Google talk is nice, but no match for skype

Google talk works great for me. TF to desktop all the time.

Fring works but sound is not brilliant

Skype and Opera news

Apparently skype released a client for android that does video. Don't think our transformer is officially supported but it might work?
If someone can get the apk to test.....
Also opera updated the browser today also and now includes experimental flash support in honeycomb. Will try it out and get bak to you all. Since it works using different engine than stock browser perhaps flash performance will be better?

its working on TF
i installed on my dell streak and then to my TF looks great

When you say "it looks great"..do you mean the video is working?

Video calling was the point of this thread. We'll just put this down as freepal not understanding OP.

sorry guys i didnt mean the video calls i ment the new ui

the hacked skype over on the SGSII forums don't work for me
I can launch and install, but I can't log in
it just crashes without force closing (goes back to homescreen or whatever you were doing if you try loggin in)

Same here.
Can not login.

same. works on my Nexus S though

i too couldn't sign in but after going into applications>manage apps>skype and deleting the cache, data and then doing a reboot it signed me in fine, shame about lack of video though.

There was another Skype update today... I think we will get it sometime soon. I dona lot of Skype video for business and it would love to have it. Hell, the old N900 has had it for over a year!

I tried Opera Mobile 11, but I have a problem since I can enter gmail in standard mode in opera, only html. I saw that google do not support opera, but is important to me to be able to use is, as an alternative to the native app. Another issue I saw is when opening the app, it will be to the foreground, and I have to change to it trough the task manager...
Can you help me overcome the first and/or noticed the second?

Still nobody got Skype to work on the TF?
On the homepage there was friday a second post about Skype, saying it would work on other devices so im hoping the TF was one of them.

the hacked apk won't allow me to log in at all on the TF
official 2.0+ apk works though...no video though

Forget about the hacked APK. If you wipe cache and data you will get in and still no video. Just install 2.0. Now that Microsoftis behind Skype, I wouldn't be surprised to see updates more frequently. They added Nexus support overnight.

comixology

Does comixology work for anyone anymore? i'm trying to figure out if it's something they did or the new roms or just mg tab. It used to work for me but recently tried using it again and all it does us FC immediately. I've flashed all Roms to no avail. If it still workx for you can you post what rom you are on?

I just checked for you. I'm running revolver and get no FC.

I've gone from prime 1.9 (not working) to Revolver 3.5 (still not working)

Comixology works fine for me. Running Revolver 3.5.2.

Yeah, I'm pretty ocd about my app updates. I'm on version 1.0.2. Downloaded and read a comic on it right now, no problems.

thats very odd. im on revolver 3.5.2 but have the same issue with prime and clems. odd that the beta works, oh well i dont really like reading with the app so im just gonna continue converting to cbr and reading with komic reader

Mystery solved! it's the new market combined with the google checkout feature comixology added. I uninstalled new market and now comixology works perfectly.

Paid Free Comics?
Is there anyway to read the paid comics in comixolog? Like paste the data in sd card and be able to read in the app or something?
Thanks...

I don't understand your question. I either buy the comic in their app or on their website (using either chrome on my tablet or any browser on my laptop). I of course use the same account for both. I can read my purchased comics either through the web browser app or the comixology app. I can even use the web browser app with chrome on my tablet since I tried that just to see if I could. I much prefer their app on my tablet. The guided view technology as they call it for reading panel by panel works well even on my HTC Evo View 7” tablet although it's much nicer on the Transformer's large 10” screen.
If you are asking how to read some other comics with their app the answer is that you can't. It is only for reading their comics.
