Yep, but it'll only work if your connection is 1mbps or faster. Pretty smooth for me.

Very nice selection.
I'ill give them a try as soon as my kindle fire arrives and i have it rooted.
Do you know if the later kindle versions may have any issue when rooting ?

I don't believe so just use the kindle fire utility

With 6.3 you have to sideload Super User. But that's the only problem.
Great layout to the OP! I'll be pming about the apps.

I installed Business Calendar, how do include my google account there?
Also, my gmail app is not syncing one of my two accounts, only the one i added manually.
Is there any way i can install "incompatible" apps from market, using the market ?
I know i can install .apks, but i want to keep the link between the app and the market to keep them updated.

Are you on a rom and pm me for Alternate markets

Thanks for the list.
I put drop box through it's paces pretty hard, too.

switched to Twicca.
trying out Tweetdeck (lots of potential there).
Twicca's still my goto.
Touiteur, 100%.
Was TweetCaster until yesterday's services issues caused me to look elsewhere. In that time I fell in love with Touiteur.
Touiteur!

touiteur - ALL THE WAY! Great with all the updates!
The official Twitter app.
Why?
It supports everything; from my personal timeline to lists I follow. It comes with a widget which isn't that great (4*2 or 4*1) but thanks to its support for notifications; I don't use the widget.
Review and screenshots can be found here.

Official Twitter app for me
Tweetdeck Beta!
I have that apk...whats ur email..i'll send it to you..
Tweetdeck beta. Awesome app
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I was a TweetCaster diehard but Twicca you have won me over with your color coding ways, ability to edit my twitter lists, and most importantly remembering my feed position when I turn the phone off and then turn it back on...sadly I could never get TweetCaster to do that :-(
If you like pretty bubble UIs though tweetcaster's is really nice plus the have a nearby tweets feature which is really cool.
I am surprised to see the official did so well since at launch you couldnt even do something as basic as view your follow and following lists
Touiteur,
Reasons why;
Coloured tweets are great and I can quickly associate the colour with the person when scrolling through a great big list.
Very smooth
Notifications
Dark theme looks more professional than others
Reasons Against;
Sometimes have issues with viewing profiles, get a Read error or something.
Small price to pay!

Need APP testers

Update: I'm still with out a phone. I added a draw9patch as the Load list button but can't test it. If anyone can test it and share a screenshot I'll appreciate it. Image your looking for should look like this

My phones screwed so I can't even test it. I used a generator to convert my sites feed as a apk for mobile users.
I just want a few android users to check if my feed is being displayed in the app correctly before i submit it to the Market and publish it for users on my site.
If it opens and displays correctly a screen shot or 2 would be appreciated if possible.
The app is suppose to display a feed of recent games with play now etc options...
If this generator works than it gives me a starting point for how i eventually want the app to work.
I've added 1.0.2, I changed the feed address from my custom one to a more common feed display "Google Feed Burner"
hopefully the feed sync's correctly now
I think that's the point of these forums dude, feel free , we are here to support you

Thanks just wanted to make sure, added.
It opened fine but did not display any new feeds. Debug and loaded dummy content and they loaded fine. Hope it helps.

Can anyone post any screen shots of either 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 working
Downloaded and it worked... it asks for the user to select auto sync? Didn't have to do that it, eventually loaded the links. Looks good the images contained in the app are a bit blurry at my resolution. Hope the screenshots post and help. Good luck.
Edit:
Sorry, the screen shots are from 1.0.2, but I downloaded both and they both load with the feeds. What I meant about the auto sync above is, you have it labeled "sync" or "update" in the app but its labeled "Refresh" in the menu. It was a bit confusing, but like I said, looks good, and good luck.

Thanks alot everyone for your fast responses and testing, ill be working to improve it on my own.

Anyone willing to test the new version
anyone can test this app, and share some screenshots.
Still requesting some one to test my app and share screenshots. just need to know if my draw9 image displays right as well as the game posts. see Op for details.
I don't know if it's right, but here you have some screenshots.
Works very well on milestone 2. A few things:
* Title "About(right?)" does not fit in the window. 2.png
* When hardware keyboard is opened - all the posts disappear. 3.png

[AMAZING] Floating web browser ! Fully windowed !

OverSkreen, from the same dev who made AirCalc & Stick it!. A full featured floating web browser :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Simply amazing
Please support the dev !
That look pretty useful.
It's pretty cool! Works pretty well with light browsing, pretty quick so far. Handles multiple windows alright, could definitely use some optimization for swapping/switching/minimizing. Worth a buck or two to support development here, I use their floating calculator all the time.
---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------
On latest nightly for EOS, non-overskreen btw.
Since they've done it for three apps now, does this mean it's a feature that any app can get? I wonder how easy it is for devs to stitch their code into their own apps so that their apps can be windowed in the same way..
Looks good...
Just grabbed it to support the developers..
Looks like we have two tracks of multi windows going neck to neck..
Can only be a positive outcome for android as a whole..

I picked it up, too. After Stick It!, I didn't hesitate.
I wonder if email, calendar and/or tasks apps are on the horizon from this cat.
For me, and maybe for others in countries that don't have paid apps.
I had to push it to my phone from the website market..
Once brought for phone was able to download for tab..
If I was the developer I would be licensing the code..for me most of my work apps..pdf, office, notes, calender..are all on the wish list..

I love it!.. flash support too! multiple windows! Awesome!
Bought it too. Very impressive and smooth.
Looks useful but FOR ME those window decorations are ugly as hell.

Your opinion.
i have just bought this, i have to its soooooo good, well worth the money, i hate calculators but i had to install it and see what its like, both awesome
I had troubles logging into google from it this afternoon.. But the update fixed it..
Love thier work..
A few little things like overlaps on tbe windows not perfect.. But can put up with it..

Seems fine..

That's a known limitation : Z orders of such windows can't be modified afterwards. The latest will always be the one at the top
Wow, now this is COOL! Hell, the way things are going, who needs Cornerstone!!!
I had previously purchased the "Stick it!" video player (windowed video player by same people) and have used the free windowed calculator as well, but I see the windowed web browser being much more useful! I don't know how many times I wanted to type an email while being able to look at a web page at the same time!
Picked this up as well after reading this thread. Pretty awesome! Have had a couple of qualms about it after a few FC's and a non page load issue. Still gonna be useful in class.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Don't know if anyone noticed, but you can also "double-click" on the title bar of the browser window to have the window "roll-up' like a blind so that just the title bar is visible (you can also move the title bar around in this mode). Great for "hiding" and un-hiding a window quickly!
Good stuff! Flash even works in it!
NICE!!!! ....just bought
I want more like this

Wanting to share this with you all!

Hey fellow SGS4G users! I wanted to pass on something I found recently, and thought was right up yall's alley. I apologize if you've already heard of it.
This is my desktop

I made it using a programs called Rainmeter
http://rainmeter.net/cms/
A good place for skins is Customise.org
Here are a few links to some great apps.

You can also google "Rainmeter skins and themes" and find sites that host a number of really cool full themes, and stand-alone apps.
Here is a tutorial to familiarize you with using the program.

Hope you all enjoy!
Also, I'm getting back into photoshop now that I'm getting a little more free time. So, feel free to hit me up with a render and an idea where to go with it, and i'll see what I can do for you a sig, or other image.
Also, forgot to add: For GREAT wallpapers, go to http://wallbase.cc
Ah, my desktop image cuts off before you can see a lot of my crucial apps on the right. All those apps are fully functional, and animated. Also, TOTALLY customizable, by right-clicking, and hitting 'edit' there you see the 'code' or script, and can do whatever you like to it. i.e... the icons on the bottom right, can can edit to execute a file at a specific destination, or change the color by knowing the correct color code.
Have fun! Hope you find this useful!

I believe I saw a linux version somewhere. Google for it.
I know they have a MAC version at least. I know devs use ubuntu and linux. sry.
Someone's got to find this pretty neat and useful... I tried.
If anybody ends up using this, and they use different skins, you should post a screenshot of your desktop!
One more thing!
If this is a little much for some people, there is a nice little desktop app for win Vista/7 called HTC home. It gives you a nice little desktop customizable HTC clock and weather widget.
Have a nice day!
Has anyone used this yet? If so, did you find any good sites with more apps?

You can't tell it's even running when looking at your resources. I've been using it for over a month now, and I've had NO problems with it at all.

SeriesGuide - TV Show Tracker

I watch a lot of TV shows and it is hard to keep up with new episodes. I also had trouble to trying to figure out which shows I have already watched.... thus I found the perfect app.
SeriesGuide informs you when a new episode comes out and you can mark episodes that you have already watched.
Learn more about the app here:
TV show tracker for Android
I agree. I love this app, except for the fact that its widget really looked out of place on my home screen.
I have added a few settings to customize it; if anyone is interested I will push these changes back to GitHub and ask the author if we wishes to integrate them.

Regarding the widget, I'm also not too fond of it the way it looks right now. I do like the transparency, but the 'next' text in capitol letters is way to big. If that would be in normal text, it would be better. And the show covers could be doubled in size (thus increasing the line hight for each episode), so it'll be a little more easy on the eyes when watching the list.
Besides that, I very much love this app!
On a second note, perhaps a fourth theme could be implemented: 'rom default'. Install a recent version of Chainfire's SuperSU app and you'll see what I mean It matches the theme based on the used framework. So if you're on a Sense ROM, the app will be Sense themed, and if you're on TouchWizz, it will be TW themed.
Nice app! Thank you, really helping!

Are there someone else that is having problem to add show and search after show? This must have happen lately for me, cause i could do it a couple of days ago.
