Note 10.1 first steps advice please - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK I expect delivery of my new toy today!
I've not used a tablet before or android but I'm sure having mastered Linux and Mac OSX it can't be too bad
What I'm asking from you guys is some tips on...
1 What stuff is not needed and can be deleted (bloatware?)
2 What "must have" progs to install
3 Any security settings to apply?
All advice gratefully accepted.
Can't wait!

Must have: Sketchbook Pro

Get Chrome Browser. It is wicked fast since it caches page links in the backgrounds as you read. Any link you click within a page pretty much appears instantaneously.
If you like to draw get Infinite Painter.
Many people like Lecture Notes as an Snotes alternative.
Nova Launcher is best of the ICS Launchers but I still prefer good old LauncherPro as it uses less memory and is faster.

[Q] 2 programs on screen in the same time

I'm planing to buy TF soon, and I can't wait to get it
I'm intrested in one thing I couldn't find anywhere: can i view 2 programs in the same time? Just like in windows. For example on the left side of screen I can write office doc, and on the right side I can PDF files?
No.........................................
But why hasn't anyone thought of doing this? this would be an awesome feature, and we have the real estate to work with in tablet land. Android limitations that can't be overcome even with root access?
Yes.. so if you want to copy something from pdf to your doc, you must constantly switch programs, it is a bit harder but I think google, or someone else would add this feature soon..

Planned release end of Q2 so pretty soon now
Public beta starts in agust
There's an app called OnSkreen which will be implemented directly into OEM rom's which will allow for multi window running of applications. Check out their YouTube videos. Cool stuff, but you'll basically have to buy a tablet with it on there from the start (none exist at the moment).

It's not an APP, it's a special ROM that the company will sell to manufacturers - you can't just install it to your device. The beta will "hopefully" offer this rom to certain devices, but there's no guarantee that our Transformers will get it.

Ih hope that TF is getting it ;D
Is there any developer out there that have plans for making such an app for the phones as well?
I think that he/she would get donations from a lot of people if they started working on it. There are many programs that do not embed a widget option and if someone could make a widget that could scale down programs an ie put to running programs on the screen in vertical mode that would be soooooo niiiiiiice!! On my Galxy SII such an app would be perfect...
Anyone?

The thing is its not really an app but, like stated, a heavily customized OS. It goes back to how these mobile OS'es were devised. Its not windowed because they are assuming you are on a system that wouldn't perform well with multiple active apps and on a small screen where you would need all of the real estate.
There are times when I would wish for it but since apps are cached and not killed (if they are developed properly) its pretty easy to "alt-tab" back and forth between them when needed.
WOWWOWOWO

This for sure will be great on the TF. It will help alot of ppl improving there usability of the transformer for work related stuff.
Cant wait to try this on TF, if it ever gets to platform.

[APP][Team.Fluxion]XP Mod Launcher (beta) [WinXP Launcher for Android]

Disclaimer: I am not a spokesperson for team.fluxion nor do I have any affiliation to them whatsoever. The app stated in this post is simply a public service announcement to those that enjoy/want the Windows PC experience on their Android powered device. All rights of this app goes to its respective owners.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wanted to get a PC quality experience on your Android powered device, then look no further! Windows XP is now on Android, well sort of. Thanks to the people in team.fluxion, who is no stranger to the development scene and has been pumping out applications since the good old windows mobile PPC days (Windows Mobile 5/6.x for the youngins reading this), as well as Windows desktop applications, we can now get a taste of Windows XP on our device, and for FREE . To save time, I will just use the description from their official Google Play page:
A legendary application for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs is back for Android as a launcher that imitates the look and feel of Microsoft Windows XP right on your Android device. It lets you explore your file system and open different file formats using default programs as assigned in your device. It also provides the common file system operations like copy, cut, paste and delete.
Short sweet and simple, right . This app is brand new (like first release new, hence the "beta" tag it's sporting) but it is amazing, and is very functional and fun for a beta release. I am running this on both my Evo 3D (qHD [540x960 resolution] screen, a bit small, but for those who are android tech savvy with some system partitions root permissions, just modify your build prop on the "ro.sf.lcd_density" line and add 40 to whatever your number is, or experiment with it different numbers. I think there's an app on the market for LCD density modification, too) and my Velocity Micro t408 cruz (its an 8 inch tablet, so no modification is really needed. I set my LCD density to 140 to make the status bar smaller though and it gives you a bit more screen real estate). Without further ado, here is the download link, completely free!
Download it here (Play Store Link) XP Mod Launcher
Oh and P.S. - They have a Windows XP boot animation that's cool too, check it out (surf their website, too) WinXP Boot Animation Android
I'm actually quite impressed. It looks and feels like the real thing.
It's missing the authentic crash every 20 minutes though.
Cheers for the share.
Regards.

This is really good. If there was a way to hide the status bar, without XPMods base distorting on my kindle fire, this could fool quite a few people.

does this need a rooted phone?
Sorry for the ignorant question - but up til now with ICS being finaly an "up-to-par" (by my standards) and there actualy being hardware good enough to run it really nicely, ive always hated using android, hated the android experience completely, but now im thinking of getting my first android phone (galaxy s3) in a month or so and am wondering if i can use this kind of thing on it without rooting... im hoping not, thats the one thing i really waant out of android that i cant get on my iphone or windows phone, the really crazy apps like this without needing a jailbreak or a custom rom/interim unlock, those things make the phones very unstable in my experience and prefer to keep them stock
Wow. It's fun using a whole new type of launcher every once in a while.
Though there have been apps that I can't open but I guess it's to be expected since the launcher is still in beta stage.
THANKS

I love it.. Only problem is when I launch the app it automatically goes to landscape mode and half the screen is cut off.. I can't figure out why... Galaxy Note running The Only One From..

I'm not really sure by what you mean by "unstable" but the launcher does not require root. I have unrooted and launched with no problems and rooted and launched with no problems.

Antivirus/Malware & Traffic Monitoring

I am newly registered to the XDA but I have followed for some time now. I have rooted a LG Optimus M as well my AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket ( two separate devices...)
I recently switched to the :good::good::good::good:CM9 nightly builds:good::good::good:. Good so far in that realm minus a weird gallery issue.
My real question is what are people doing about antivirus/malware protection on a rooted phone? I have tried AVG and a couple of others, but the interface doesn't really show what it is doing. I also have a Macbook Pro and use Little Snitch for monitoring traffic going in and out. I can approve or deny traffic on a one time basis or forever. Is there also an app that would provide this type of functionality as traffic going out that I have not approved is generally my first clue that something might be going on.
This is my first post (N00bie) so I apologize if it is not formatted like some of you professional XDA members.
Thanks in advance.

I will let you know if I run into any problems with that one... I have to say if you don't have some sort of Antivirus, you may be asking for problems... Seems with rooting and modding that we are doing, you never REALLY know what someone has programmed into a mod or app. I still want something like Little Snitch that monitors all inbound/outbound traffic and lets me decide whether to allow/deny connections....
Would be a nice feature in my mind...

As long as you're not side loading apps and pay attention to the permissions that's all good.
You also have to not use open networks where they can poison and intercept your info. I stay off those and don't side load.

LBE privacy guard.
I've used it for a long while now. Clean, simple, and only presents me with a super user style allow/deny for permission requests. It let's you enable or disable internet connectivity for an app, but not specific requests to specific hosts like little snitch. Its great for other permissions too, locations, contact lists, etc.

Looking for .apks?

So I made the switch from the TF201 to the TF700, and I've got to say my overall experience is happy. The one thing I'm having trouble with is some of the games I have purchased are not compatible. I'm not one for pirating, but I do want these games on my tablet that I've already paid for.
Anyone know where I can pick up the APKs for Asphalt 6 and 7, Mass Effect Infiltrator, and BackStab? I'm not rooted, and really don't want to... But I do want the apps that I've already paid for.

Absolutely not condoning any kind of piracy, but I feel your pain. Here is a process I have to do a quick search for any apk that is out there.
1. If you are just looking for a canonical listing of all APKs:
http://www.google.com/search?q=-inurl:htm+-inurl:html+-inurl:asp+intitle:"index+of"++(apk)
2. If you are looking for a specific APK and you know what it is called add it right before the end of the string:
http://www.google.com/search?q=-inurl:htm+-inurl:html+-inurl:asp+intitle:%22index+of%22+%2B(<appname>.apk )
3. Wildcards in the appname area are supported but do result occasionally in unexpected results.

I may log in on a friends TF300 and see if I can pull them and back them up that way.... I'm not having any luck finding the APKs... But I haven't ever pirated anything on Android either. I choose to support the developers. I just wish I could make the market not hate my device.
Oops, so you haven't.
If you have another Android device (like even a smartphone) you could install them to and copy this way, and if you don't, I think you should consider contacting these games' devs/support, they are normally very friendly, I had the best of experience with most of them.

Microsoft OneNote Update not compatible with any physical keyboard

If you use MS OneNote, you would NOT want to take the latest update. And if you did update, you'd want to revert back to the older version.
MS is not supporting physical keyboards in their latest release of MS OneNote. It makes no sense and personally I may soon change over to Google Keep for my note taking needs.
You can read this MS Office Community thread for further details.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ork-with/000de728-30d0-4609-a08d-4c2a31186a87
Just a heads up.
I've attached the OneNote APK for v14.0.5602.3000.
Well that really sucks. Thanks for that update. I've started to transition to google now as its one less account I have to remember.

Google now allows note taking? Or do you mean Google Keep?
MS replied in that Answers thread today. They say they're working to get hardware keyboards working. But I'm still not sure I'll go back. I'm on Springpad now and it's fine for me.

No was just referring to it as switching to google now... not the Google Now app.
Only reason I didn't move to Google Keep, is that Springpad offers more text formatting options.
If Google Keep at least offered bold text, I would have probably gone with Google Keep.
Maybe keyboard support is one of those things they'll give you with the worthless but pricey office subscription.
I really love onenote, but I really hate Microsoft.

Perhaps.
It has been well over a week and they still have not fixed an issue that we don't have with any other app. They claim in their forum they know about the issue and plan to fix it. But the fact they released and noted hardware keyboards won't be supported, makes me feel uneasy. It seems really shady to me. And I'm glad I moved over to using Spingpad instead.
It's Microsoft, it took them 22 years to fix the 0-day problem.
You did not seriously expect them to fix anything within a year, I hope.
Send From My Samsung Galaxy S3 Using Tapatalk 2
MS just released a OneNote update today. But the update does NOT resolve the hardware keyboard issue. And the app description still notes, that Hardware keyboards are not supported.
I still had OneNote installed on my phone, just in case MS came with a swift update. Which might make me consider going through the trouble of going from Springpad back to OneNote. But I'm done with OneNote now. I've uninstalled from my phone and been happily using Springpad for weeks now.
In my opinion, the change was deliberate. Perhaps we'll find out why when the other shoe drops regarding their mention of:

Hey thank you for the APK post. I just updated to the latest onenote on my Transformer TF101 this morning and was freaked out by the missing keyboard capability. Your version works great and I don't see a drastic loss in features from that version to the current.
I'm actually thankful that Microsoft did something like this...I was stuck between OneNote and Evernote and this update was the tipping point.

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I thank Microsoft for breaking OneNote, there's now an update that's supposed to fix the hardware keyboard issue.

Now I guess I'll temporarily migrate back to OneNote. There's a few improvements I want to see added to Springpad. But I suspect, by the time MS starts charging for OneNote, Springpad or Google Keep will be to a point I'm happier with than their present forms. (The OneNote description says it's free for a "limited time".)

I have a really stupid question Is onenote on android not capable of handling handwriting or drawing? It's a completely different beast on a Microsoft Surface???? It feels like onenote 0.01 on android.....

Correct, it cannot do handwriting or drawing on Android. They'd like to think we need OneNote so much we'd switch for such features .
I have not gotten around to trying to port my notes from Spingpad back to OneNote, and I'm not sure I ever will . If Google Keep would let me make BOLD text, I might give it a try.
