I often need to check dates or do quick calculations while working on my tablet. In Samsung's Touchwiz, there is a little dock that contains apps like task manager, calculator, calendar, etc.
Is this something I can activate or downloa for my tf101?

Can't you use widgets? Or do you want something that's always sitting in the notification area?
Thinking more of a button on the system bar. Like in touchwiz.

Ok, this is my first day with this marvelous device. I installed Tweet caster, as it was my go to twitter app on my EVO. After I installed Tweet Comb and became fascinated by it, tweet caster on the xoom just doesn't carry too far.
Right now, both are giving me notifications and it's annoying, but I don't want to uninstall caster, either. Other than a reboot, what will fix this issue? Can't you simply exit an app? Do I need an app killer? I've been told app killers are unnecessary with Android, but on my EVO I use the app killer all the time.

I don't use either app, but check the settings. You should be able to turn off notifications. In settings, apps, manage apps though you can stop an app. DO NOT USE A TASK MANAGER.
I agree that task managers that automatically kill apps are no longer required by android. However, in order to close apps easily I use an app called Active Apps, since a lot of apps tend to linger in the background. Put the widget on your desktop and it will give you a running tally of how many apps are running and allow you to opt to quit one or all of them.

I don't know if this will be easier for you, but if you have to kill an app you can also find the app in the drawer and drag it onto the "i" , which will take you to the same spot as finding the app in "settings/applications/manage applications/" then finding the app.

Hello,
They know how to sort the applications menu?
Separate by games, applications, etc.
As far as I know you can't do that. I am not sure if there is a launcher or a rom that will allow that though.

Too bad.
The LG 2X if you let it
thanks
I believe that you need a different launcher. The built-in ADW Launcher (CM7) allows you to separate your apps into catalogs.

GO launcher allows you to use folders and uninstall applications straight from the app drawer.
I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to create system settings profiles for 1 click set...
Something like:
Profile:
Office
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Driving
WiFi-off
Bluetooth-on
GPS-on
Home
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Etc...

This is a shot in the dark here because I've never used it, and have deleted it from my ROM, but there is a widget that comes with the stock ROM called the Profile widget.... Maybe that is what it is for?
If that's not it, there must be something in the market or perhaps elsewhere in the ROM?
I've tried the profiles widget, it just changes your sound profile...
I've checked the market, however I might not be using the right search criteria...

Ah ok, I found an app in the market called Quick Profiles... Maybe that will work for ya? Other than that, I'm not sure.
I think I remember that the Epic 4G had a similar feature, where you could turn on different modes that would auto-switch you to different homescreens that you could customize for the situation (work, home, school etc.) It's probably been retained in the latest versions of Touchwiz, as it seemed pretty cool.
I would imagine there's a widget on the market somewhere with what youre looking for. if not, you could just use extended controls so as to quickly change all your settings, since you can customized its widget to control virtually anything.

Isn't it like HTC scene?

So i just found that apparently, 2.3 introduced a security feature that blocks apps and widget from turning on the GPS. i am not pleased witht his, as it makes extended controls and anti theft apps (Lookout, Seekdroid etc.) far less useful. bad move, Google. Why u remove features?
I found that the app o installed does not allow to toggle GPS, must be due to that 'feature'

If you deleted the Launcher2 apk, it will delete your stock power control widget. Seems like it's embedded.

Check under the asus settings that you are using the asus drawer and not the stock
same here. my phone is rooted. a few days ago i made a backup of apex pro with titanium backup pro. today i've installed nova launcher with the option to take over the homescreen settings from the apex launcher and uninstalled apex. afterwards i've restored apex with tb and uninstalled nova. the result was that the power control widget, which is provided in jb doesn't appear anymore in the widget list. to be sure i've checked the widget drawer in the jb launcher with the same result.
anyway, after that i've installed "power toggles" which is much better because i am not in the mood to restore the nandroid backup just because of this widget

Same here on the Prime TF201. One minute it was there - I dragged it from the Widget drawer to my desktop, it came up on the homescreen looking peculiar as just a long grey bar without any of the icons in the five segments. Then when I removed it from the homescreen and went back to the widget drawer, it was nowhere to be found! Very odd. Running the new JB stock ROM.

Same thing happened to me, only it happened after I uninstalled Apex Launcher. Has anyone found a solution?
I hate all the App shortcuts being in a big bunch in the Apps Menu. Is there any good apps that I can use to allow me to make folders I can sort them into ?
I would like to root my Xoom and put a newer version on but I don't get all the tech speak and jarganisum now.
Thanks
Most launchers support folders, but folders are only on the home pages. I don't know of any launchers that allow you to sort your apps into folders.

Go Launcher did, but it didn't look as good on the XOOM so it went. . Was looking for a simple app.
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
It wouldn't be a simple app. It would have to be a launcher that supported it.
Well this one doesn't need a launcher. I tried it didn't like it. The layout was'nt what I wanted. Also it tried to be to much.
But deff no launcher needed.
''Application Folder'

For serious, I think you should the Nova Launcher, you can create "tabs" with it and organize the way you want the apps, these tabs are the "apps" and "widgets" by default, but you still can create a tab called "games" for example! Good luck.

I was going to suggest the MIUI launcher but then remembered we never got one that supports the Xoom.
