If you guys want your phone to be able to use transition effects (very fast and nice) like google had when they were demoing how flash will work, just follow these steps. You will also gain a lot of cool little features like cpu load viewer etc.
First go to the market and download Apps Installer. Then download the files I just uploaded.(unzip)
Copy the files you just downloaded to your root sdcard
Run App installer and Look for Dev tools. Install that. It might as you to allow untrusted applications to run. Click on allow then finish install
Then run the program dev tools
Click on Development Settings
and Change
Windows animation scale to 1x
Transition animation scare to 1x
and light hinting
Exit and play with your phone HAHA!! It beautiful.
You have a couple of extra options as well as Cpu load metter, process display, maximum thread open allow limit etc.
Anyways have fun!
PS. Also added API Demos.
------
The transition effect does not use up any extra juice to run. This app was used by google in order to test speed of builds and also as a quick way to stress when developing.
I would suggest limiting processes to a minimum of 4 or living it on no app process limit.
If you go below three what happens is that when you start certain built in features the phone spawns several process at the same time, and since it is limited it will force close the app you called. for testing purposes 3 or below is fine but not for daily usage.
Immediately destroy applications has an effect of eventually slowing down your phone since the app has to be reloaded at every use instead of "caching" it in memory. We have more than enough memory for android on this phone. Again to keep things lean and fast I would only use 4 for processes as a minimum. (This is personal choice, remember some apps that you might like run in the background and this may shut them down in order to comply with your policy of limiting the apps.
*These apps where extracted from the android SDK and is used by developers and google for testing. Google went the safe route and disabled features
DroidSans has implemented this find into his application, so you can now get this at the Market
how about a little video to show the claimed beauty?
It will take 10 minutes to enable yourself. I would do a video but my coworker has a G1 LOL no video recording!!
Both apps work great. The option to see the graph for the g sensors is fun to play with, and the transitions look pretty sweet.

Both of those apps are part of the SDK and can be extracted from the emulator. I was briefly looking at the code to gauge the difficulty of adding custom effects:
Ie, i wanted windows to zoom in and out when switching between applications, and to slide when switching between windows within the same application. More natural that way. I think thats what the iPhone does too. Looks pretty easy to do though.
Precisely, I was playing with the sdk and remembered the dev tool so I adb pulled and it worked beutifull. I am looking at the code too see what can happen
Does this actually improve the performance of the system? Meaning does it making browsing faster or is it just eye candy?

That's really cool... thanks for the tip
Yay
It works great, thanks for the tutorial.
Doesn't work for me
Installing via the web browser or apps installer fails for me (for the Development.apk)
Message isn't terribly helpful (application install unsuccessful), anyone know of a good place to look in logs to catch what's happening here?
Settings
Applications
Check Unknown Sources
That should take care of the failed install, if not then there is something totally unrelated happening
I set the Transition animation scale to 2x, I like it a bit slower. Those API Demos are pretty cool, I watched the Kube (Rubik's Cube demo in Graphics/OpenGL ES) for a few minutes to see if it would solve itself
Try using the APK installer. It's a Tool in the Market.
Under the development settings what do the other options do? It looks like you can limit the number of apps running or the app close when you exit it.

oh, sorry about that.
Great find btw. Using the animation, cpu, and process list but can anyone tell me whats the X.XX / X.XX / X.XX on the top of the process list for ?
For my kids iPods, we have MobileMe which we use for locating it. Now with my new Transformer, is there something similar? Specifically, some sort of theft recovery program where I can log online and find out via GPS where the device is?
yeah i was wondering the same, as well as a security app. but i guess honeycomb is still Wifi only (mostly) and devs are more interested in an GSM/CDMA tablet compatible. plus, GPS by it self sucks, i tried to use for navigation, no luck

Dd you have it turned on. GPS on my TF works fine for navigation. Get GPS info app and look at the raw data. Remember it is a GPS (Satellite rcvr) and needs to have a relatively clear view of the sky.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for....
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout&feature=search_result
Why not try Prey - preyproject dot com - it's free for the first 3 devices it's linked to with an account. It's also open source too and is multi-platform so it's more flexible (ie you can have it on your laptop as well). I use this on my Nexus One and will try it out on the Transformer once I get mine in the next few days.
I'd like to second the "Lookout" suggestion.
Not only can you locate your tablet...you can lock it down (or even wipe it clean) remotely...if you find it's gone.
It won't let me download/install Lookout onto the Transformer. Says "Your device is not compatible with this item". huh???
Ah... didn't see that (I only have it installed on my Galaxy S)! Sorry!
This sucks. PreyProject won't install on the Transformer either! Hmmmm...
see my next post...it's possible according to Lookout Support.
From the Lookout web support:
The reason why you're having trouble finding Lookout in the market for Honeycomb Tabs is due to the fact that the they don't support SMS messages.
We rely on SMS messages to initiate a connection to a device in the event it's lost, stolen, etc. Without the ability to receive SMS messages the missing device features would be greatly hindered, however, device based backups and malware protection would work normally.
Until we release a version that's more compatible with the Honeycomb tabs you can install it using this alternate method:
The first thing you'll want to do is enable the installation of non-market applications. To do this:
Go to settings > application > and check the box next to "Unknown Sources." Go ahead and disregard the warning (by clicking OK), we can uncheck it later.
Next, back out of Settings and open up the web browser.
In the address bar delete everything that's there and type this in (minus quotes): "m.getjar.com" and hit enter.
Now click on "Android" under "Or, Choose your platform." This will bring you to another page where you will see a search box in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Tap the search box, to insert the cursor, and type "Lookout" and tap "go". The search will produce one result, which is "Lookout"
Tap on the link "Lookout Mobile Security with Antivirus".
You will now be on another page that displays a grey "Download" box. Go ahead and tap on it.
The Tablet will show that it's beginning to download the file and you'll see the progress, of the download, in the notification bar.
Tap on the download icon (it looks like a downward facing arrow pointing at a line) and a small window will populate above with the word "lookout-production-signed-aligned.apk" Go ahead and tap on that.
A window that says "Package Installer" pops up. From here you can read the permissions that Lookout requires. Go ahead and tap "Install".
Your installation will start. Tap "Open" once the installation has finished to open Lookout.
Finish setting up Lookout as you normally would!
Still doesn't let me download. It gets me to download and install the GetJar app but then just takes me back to the webpage.
Can someone just post the apk?
Thanks.
here you go
Thanks! Installed and working!
Edit - Maybe not. When I got to mylookout.com and try to locate the device, it asks for a mobile number. Since this is a WIFI device only, I entered in my cell number instead and it fails to locate it. But I guess this app is good for antivirus use.
Now back to the search....
Yes...they said until they get it fully understood for HC use...it would be hindered...
Okay, if the device is on, then it works. It'll scream and locate. But that's not really good if you've misplaced it and it's not activated. I hope they figure something out soon for HC.
It will also allow you go to go your account online and pick it out on a map via GPS.
I found this specifically for tablets and it works as needed.

thanks! that looks like the ticket..
I have an acer Iconia with Honeycomb, I was wondering if there was a way to improve the performance of the facebook games, they are unplayable , the one I mostly tested it on is Ravenwood fair. I know its not a hardware problem because it actually plays other games that arent facebook apps pretty well.

right click inside game app and flash setting should come up. there change permission to use mx offline cache. this will increase performance drastically. let me know if this helps.
how do you right click?
I found flash settings manager, but it keeps reverting to the mobile manager, which has very little options

It must be detecting the browser as a mobile app. Try the following. Intructions are for the default web browser.
1.Download and install Flash 10.1 from market (skip if already installed)
2.Open your browser, go to facebook.
3.type into the browser about:debug and press go. The browser will go right back to the same screen you were on previously and it appears that nothing happens.
4.Press your menu button(bottom left physical button)
5.Press "MORE"
6.Scroll down to "Settings"
7.Scroll all the way down to the bottom where you see "UA STRING"
8Choose "Desktop" This will "trick" websites into thinking you are logging in from a PC computer and not a Droid.
9.Hit back until you are on the facebook page again.
10. Refresh your browser and launch Farmville!!!
After completing the above steps you should be able to get the regular settings manager for flash. Enjoy!
Enjoy
ua string is desktop, the regular manager flashes up for a second and then it goes back to mobile.
since i never could get the regular settings manager to stay up. I brought it up on my computer, I do not see a mx offline cache setting.

try a different browser. clicky here: Boat Browser
naw still waiting on chrome to be released, they said we would get a soon ... a month ago. i doubt switching browsers will work . anyway once I finally get it working the game apps will probably move to html 5 lol. I have been trying all sorts of things to try to get them to work since I got this tab in may.
Does anyone have a clue what omnichron is talking about. Permission set mx offline cache , ha google comes up with this thread. He is smart enogh to get it working but cant tell anyone the proper steps......or he is just trolling
is this still a no go with ICS? heck about all I wanted to do with the tablet was play facebook games and read forums, at least I can read forums on it.
a good friend of mine was showing me an ios app called "pandora downloader":
http://forum.iphone-developers.com/...der-remove-limits-pandora-download-music.html
and I was wondering if there was anything like it for android?
I don't generally put music on my phone due to the small amount of space that I have, but it would be nice if i had the ability to download songs from pandora that I have cd's for at home once in a while (note: i'm not condoning piracy, and all songs that I'd be downloading, i'd make damn sure i have licence for before i did). I often find myself away from my cd collection for long periods of time and the thought of ripping it all and then trying to manage all that data is just plain daunting... i'd rather hear a track i know on pandora and click the download button.
any love?
Serching too for long time ago
let me know if you find something
Anyone????
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Already have that. we are looking for a downloader like the iphone has.
Why not google specifically
Anyone ever find a good substitute for this? I know you can google what you need but whats nice about pandora and my ipod is sometimes you get songs you have a hard time finding like some acoustic versions and stuff.
i to want something like or atleast a radio app that allows mw to save song to mp3

best ive got is the same way on the desktop.
download firefox (not beta).
open it and go to menu>tools>add ons
click the add on icon in the top right
search the add ons market for "download"
download and install the first add on.
from firefox, go to Pandora.com, it should request you to download the app.
press menu>request desktop site
wait for it to load and sign in
when you hear a song you want, click the "down" arrow on the bottom left
accept, and wait for the download to finish.
open your favorite file manager and navigate to firefoxes download path (more than likely sdcard/Downloads.
find the "blah,blah,blah,blah.null" file and rename it to "the song you are trying to download.mp3"
accept any warning/ prompt about changing the file extension.
enjoy your music!
If opening FF is a pain for you for pandora, you can do a few things to make it almost like an app. use some ingenuity!

Installed this on my ATT Galaxy Note 2 but says the device is not compatible!?!?! Whhhhhhhyyy? I had my hopes up and it was shot down by a nuclear missile.
Its in the works on the main thread were keeping track of what works and what doesn't, were adding new devices almost everyday.
Has anyone had any luck getting the streaming video to work recently? I think it was April 2013 when it stopped.
It seems Amazon found a way around this flash hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569816&highlight=busybox that was working on the Infinity.
Just checking to see if I was going to cancel my Prime membership the next time it is up for renewal.

Hello...
While there's no app as of yet, you CAN watch your Prime video on your tablet, as I was able to watch it on my devices: Lenovo IdeaPad K1, Samsung S3 (AT&T) and my TF700.
Here's how (and I have posted this on other threads here at XDA, so I hope the repeat does not cause issues):
1. Side load Flash from Adobe. Click here for direct download (You can use your tablet)
2. Tell browser to "Request Desktop Site" (Change Agent)
3. Sign in to Amazon and navigate to Prime
4. Play
CAVEAT: Remember to disable sleep time (Tablet will turn display off as if idle, so disable Idle times) and auto brightness.
You can use the browser player's maximize button to watch full screen. Looks awesome if you ask me...
Enjoy! /HTH

What version of Android are you running because this definatly does not work if you are updated?
I believe the Cromi-x rom has the option to install flash for you.
You can install Flash without custom roms. Firefox seems to work the best overall with Flash. Use one of the Firefox plug ins to trick sites as desktop. The default built in option does not seem to work as good.
Prime works for me - stock ROM, sideloaded Flash, and Boat browser.
