Apps that are a delight on the Tab

Thought I'd start a thread, similar to the games one, to allow for recommendations for apps that are found to runs particularly well on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I'll start this off with:
Google Earth - Obviously the big screen makes it nice, but the fast GPU and super smooth touchscreen controls also help. tilting and twisting with two-fingers, panning and flying over the high resolution terrain of the Alps is simply amazing. I'd almost say, due to the intuitive touchscreen controls, it's as good or even better than the desktop version (not as many options yet though).
AndroidVNC - This works just like I almost imagined. Sitting on the balcony, then 'tap...tap' my Kubuntu desktop is displayed nicely and can be used on my tab. Awesome for checking up on progress bars of running stuff.

WinAmp is cool on the Tab. Gives You big enough room to select and scroll through directories (compared the N1)
Speed Hud uses the FULL SCREEN, can't wait to try it in my car at night !
EStrong File explorer also uses full screen and is excellent to use on this device.
Wifi Analyzer on the Tab lookes like a professianl Wifi tool !
XBMC remote is alos great on this device. Only problem I have is when Yo rotate it during browsing folders it looses info and You have to go backwards one step to see anything again.
TuneIN radio also works great. I have it running in the background most of the time
Skype is also a dream on the Tab. Gives good room for the big communications...
Photoshop express on a screen like this rocks !
MSN DroidX also works really good
IM+ does not work well. It does 2/3 size in the center
Meridian player works really well too.(pro edition) Plays MKVfiles and everything I have tried smooth. Flac and mp3's are no problems at all.

I just discovered TV Flash. Works really well on Tab, good quality and nice selection of news channels. Some entertainment tv as well! Get it while its in beta!

I'll add another one:
GMote is awesome. Using the entire screen as a touchpad to control the mouse on my XBMC box. You can also switch to remote or keyboard mode, and even stream files from the computer to the Tab. Very nice.

Fennec official beta works a treat. Finally we have firefox!

Where did you get the apk???
Can you share please? The ones I am downloading from the mozilla ftp aren't working
They just force close...
EDIT: Nevermind I found it... It's not one of the nightly builds but the publicly released beta.

Indeed. By the way, gmote doesn't work in fullscreen. Only the pad works, and not too well at that...

What exactly are you having trouble with? It automatically goes fullscreen for me (cover art of streaming music, the remote buttons and the file browser).
As for the touchpad, I did increase the mouse acceleration a bit beforehand, because I was using the touchpad from the Logitech DiNovo Mini before. Maybe that makes the difference.

The browser isn fullscreen for me. Cant remember now as ive uninstalled it. Ive got PocketCloud so its not really an issue.

Anyone tried GRemote? It's a prettier version of GMote, albeit commercial. http://gbmsoftware.com/
Will need to try Fennec, a link to a recent working .apk would be useful.

The server is, yes, but the client isn't.
They did say several months ago that they were working on a OS X server, but no further word of it, my guess is that it's not going to happen.

I'm searching for a good Newsreader App, where i have my Feed Abonnements on the left and the articles an the right, like you get it on your desktop browser when visiting google reader website.

Just search for fennec for android... can't be easier than that.
Really Skype... are there video calls? If not then where do I get video to pccalls from?

I got to say that one of my most essential needs on a device like this is comic book reading.
So I got to say I was quite pleased with the app Comic Reader Mobi.
The reader takes advantage of the full screen.

That's strange. In my case I just chose a root folder source for my comic collection that is located on my external sd card and away it went.
Perhaps you should get in touch with the developer through the comic reader mobi forum. The person seems to be quite hands on when it comes to helping users.

Could someone try and see if this app works on their Tab, I downloaded it and used it on my HTC Desire last night and it is so damn amazing!! Live streaming of games in pretty high quality straight to my phone
Would be awesome if it scaled and worked on the Tab too.

Thought O3D Played SBS, Wrong Extension?

Alright guys, phone's finally charged starting to test it out.
I have a short looney toones clip that is half sbs and an .mkv. It shows in the video player and I can play it but get what would be the same as playing in media player on a PC, the two frames side by side instead of put together.
I tried changing the extension from .mkv to .sbs to see if the phone would recognise it as 3d but couldn't see the file then. Have searched the forum but couldn't see anything relvant. Any help appreciated. Thanks

You have to do it in the options
1. when the file is playing press the 2D button to make it 3d.
2. press the menu button while its playing or paused and click 3D formatter.
3, choose L/R if its side by side and it will show it in 3D, if its top bottom choose that option.
4 Press ok and it will be in 3D, you can use the 3D slider to make it how you want but I rarely mess with that and leave it all the way over the right.

Ah, top man.
Fyi, anyone that want's a video that really shows off the O3d then 'Looney Tunes Fear of Flying' is a fantastic HD video 3 mins long that just blew me away.
Finding this thing if fatiguing my eyes more than I thought it would though!

I was the same with the eyes give me some real eye ache for 3-4 days or so, but they soon adapt to it and it won't bother you soon enough.

Your favorite Live Wallpapers?

Hey everyone,
Browsing through the marketplace or a website for Live wallpapers is a pain, and I'd like to have a lot more than I currently do. How about you guys share some of your favorites? Maybe even include a mobile friendly link if you're feeling frisky?
Thanks!

I use 'wallme'.
You set folders in your gallery to be set as a wallpaper sideshow.
Many options available such as duration, transition, zoom, fade etc.

Ive always loved Light Grid Pro's hexagon style

Oh man Light Grid is amazingly mesmerizing, and so customizable its crazy.

i've been using video live wallpaper for ages now. my fav has always been this video of the internal working clock. it fills up the whole screen with moving gears similar to what you would inside the watch. what i normally do is go to youtube and download a vid of my choice. this way i can always keep changing my wallpaper. i have mirror lights, particles, ink on water, the beach, rain, pug licking my screen, etc.

Can you explain in a little more detail how you rip these YouTube videos to be able to use them as wallpapers?

pretty easy. i don't have the link right now as it's in my laptop at home. but basically you can google it and several websites come up for saving youtube clips. what happens is you open the site in one window/tab. in another tab you have youtube open. so say you typed in the search field (of youtube) for clockwork. several video clips will come up. click on one and copy the http address as seen in the field above. paste this into the search field of the youtube video download site. once clicked, you'll get several format opitons. by far the most common are mp4 and flv. fortunately, video wallpaper plays both. save the file and transfer it to your phone.
from your phone, open video wallpaper. go to the menu screen and choose the video you want to play. presto! instant wallpaper.
btw, i noticed that some wallpapers are off-centered. if you're using adw launcher, click on the menu and bring up scrolling wallpaper option. this way you can choose which parts of the video wallpapers shows what detail. i think this should work as well with the default launcher.
hope that helps.

And here's a video that goes a little more into detail.

[APP][4.0] 432 Player - Listen To Your Music, Pure, Quality Sound

------------------------------------------------------
V 7.8 is out!
-Notification now cleared on X button even if app is OFF
-Added an option to minimize player details
-Song selecting responds much faster
-Added an option to filter/unfilter small media files
-Added an option to scan album covers through the web and fill missing art automatically
-Song selecting responds much faster
-Added an option to filter/unfilter small media files
------------------------------------------------------
The 432 Player, plays your music while pitching the frequency of your music in real time to be in the 432hz frequency.
This frequency is considered to be much more in tuned with the full essence of the music by many scientists and musicians.
Appum Studios produced this mobile application so all of you listeners around the globe could feel and share the joy of music with all around you, no adds, no in app purchases, just a clear clear sound with slightly different and positive experience
"There is a movement in the Music World that is trying to bring back the 432hz pitch into our lives. "
The A=432hz tuning is also known as “The Mathematical Tuning”, “The Natural Tuning”, ”The Pythagorean Tuning”.
432 Player - Google Play
More Details:
We have all been tuned by the mass media to the Concert pitch of A=440hz.
The majority of the music you listen to is tuned to this pitch.
Today research shows that the 440 pitch is a bit off and disharmonious with our bodies and minds.
If you’re a Musician or an Audiophile or just love listening to your music this will be a tipping point for you.
According to studies 432 resembles a code underlying our very universe in all aspects – light, time, gravity, magnetism, DNA, sacred geometry and the list goes on. 432 number, and its divisions, extends throughout all ancient history.
Why is this important? Because sound (vibration) influences the mind and body immediately.
Even the slightest constant dissonance can bring one to confusion, inner chaos and staying blind to what is going on around.
Think about it, when something irritates you, the only thing you can deal with is making that thing stop.
But you will never address bigger problems.
It is well known today that the molecular structure of water is affected by vibration, thoughts, words, ideas and of-course Music.
Our human body is made of approximately 70% water.
So the link is pretty immediate here.
We are inviting you all to listen to your beloved music through this player which you will not only enjoy the brighter feeling it resonates but also will conceal healing qualities for the body and mind.
Love Light & Meditation.
Appum Studios
Some information about pitch shifting and 432hz vibration:
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”
― Albert Einstein

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY74AFQl2qQ
http://omega432.com/432-music/the-importance-of-432hz-music
The app is free, and has no financial background to it. Mainly exists as a tool for those who want to hear their music in a more refined and healthy tone opposed to the 440 Hz.
** The app will pitch shift music that's tuned to A = 440 Hz, it will not work on music tuned to other A note references.
Enjoy

AMAZING!! I really enjoy all my music again!! And it's not a placebo effect.

Thank you so much!
Would love to get more opinions from other users downloading.

I like the idea.
What about Anti-Matter energy?
From Nutrition and Dietetics i hear Calories as energy from within.
Physicists say joules as energy.
Both require matter. But do you know?
NASA is concentrating on Anti-Matter energy to propel their shuttles for interstellar travel?
Theists say Anti Matter as God the creator of matter beyond perception.
About App:
Very good to hear. Flatter tone soothing feeling. Super UI [Forgot to add]
Bug: Continue listening in background stopped player.

Hey, thanks for the information about Dark Matter.

Thanks salisburry,
The difference is that thie 432 Player is the only 432hz player in the mobile world
This player was produced to answer many user's request for a media player with 432hz abilities.
You can read the info above to fully understand what is 432hz frequency..

Cool app. Music sounds great. Here are some things that need to be added.
Album art. Album art downloaded like Apollo.
Sort music by track title under all songs. Currently they are listed as album title order.
Better status bar icon. Its just a blank square currently.
Albums are currently listed by when they were added instead of alphabetically.
Once I leave app it stays open and icon persists in the status bar.

Also battery doctor saver App reported this as power drainer. Please look into it.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions and bug reports!
Song list order will be changed in next version.
Some users prefer it that way, so we might give the option to choose how to sort the music.
What is the mobile device your are trying 432 Player on?
In most devices the album art is presented in the status bar (if it exists)
Do you see the album arts when youre inside the player?
The notification in status bar is supposed to be there, even when you minimize the player and go to other applications on your device, so you can control the music without having to reopen the 432 Player every time..
If you want it to be gone, just press the back button from 432 Players main screen, then choose exit. Than the notification window will be cleared
And thank you for the compliments!
vikraminside - We will look into it, thank you!

For both of above posts, just click on bottom right "bypass" feature. Use headphones. You will clearly hear/notice difference in pitch. That is the beauty of this player.
The on/off is highlighted by the glow by the way. Like "On Air" button on tv stations by the way.
Basically quicktime player in my windows pc had pitch modify to various levels. This player paves the way for best frequency if we are confused.

The hiccups are because of memory overload in some devices, it's because the shifting is performed in realtime..
