Hello everyone! I've used the forums before but I'm a new registered xda member and I'm excited to be a part of this great community
(Hoping I posted in the correct place....please kindly guide me if I haven't)
I just bought myself a TF700T and have had some issues with adjusting to ICS. I'm used to gingerbread on my phone and the interface on the tab is quite a bit different...
My problem is that I don't know how to put existing files or folders on my home screen, is this even possible? For instance: I have a folder on the root of my android tab's internal memory, how can I move this folder to the home screen? Similarly, I'd like to be able to place an existing file on the home screen as well, such as a PDF file or text document that I have downloaded with the browser. Any input is highly appreciated

Welcome to xda. As far as I can tell, there is not much of a difference between GB and ICS with regards to home screen shortcuts. The easiest way to do what you want is through a file explorer such as ES file explorer (I have been using ES for a while, so I am not sure about other file explorers, but I suppose they should work the same way). In ES, navigate to any files or folders, long press and tap on "Shortcut". It will then create a shortcut of the file/folder on your main home screen.
Thank you lone wolf!
This worked perfectly

Hey guys and gals,
Could not find a topic on this when it came to the Transformer and Honeycomb. What applications are you all using to creating folders with honeycomb? I have not found any thus far that seem to fit the bill for me so thought I would ask the masses.

Try File Manager HD for Honeycomb

I think the OP meant app folders on the homescreen. File Manager HD is great, but it doesn't do that. I'm just trying out Simi Folder Widget, but it's too soon for me to say if it's any good.
I've been using apps organizer. Open the app and organize your apps into the categories/labels. Then on home screen you add each as a widget.

I have been using the Folder Organizer app from the same makers as that app. I think its just a skinnied down version of the app organizer.

Well, that wasn't really obvious from what the OP wrote...

+1 on that! It interacts nicely with other apps and is regularly updated!
I didn't get why honeycomb doesn't use folders.. but i guess its okay
I've been using Circle Launcher, but I think i should try others as well, because the circle launcher icon just isn't that pretty.

I use Folder Organizer on my phone, and love it. AM trying it on the tablet, but I'm having it FC when I try to set an icon on Labels (FO's name for folders).
ADW EX Launcher
I would love to have a folder on my home screen that maps to a certain location on my internal/external storage. That way I could store documents in a certain folder in my SD card or storage, and just have a shortcut to them.
Doesn't seem possible with any of the apps listed thus far.

Because you have space for 240 app shortcuts.
Hey guys, just figured I should let you guys know there is a beta for folder organizer 3.4 available from their website (not the Market) that is optimized for Honeycomb. It shows as being used on a Xoom but I'm using it now on my Tab 10.1 without any issues, figure it should work fine for you guys too.

Asus has this really nice mail widget that simply shows the number of unread messages. I have a 7.7 inch tablet I'd like a similar widget. Checking google play I see nothing similar; so is there an easy way for me to copy this widget from my infinity to my other tablet ?
Here you go: http://www.4shared.com/android/JCo37VEL/EmailWidget.html
Alternatively, you can copy it from /system/app/ yourself.

I havent used this app. Is it better than the built in Gmail or K9? Gmail has been giving me problems lately, so i installed k9 and its pretty good.

It's a widget, not an app itself. But if you're asking about ASUS E-mail app, it's pretty OK, too, I prefer GMail though (better thread-handling et al.). BTW, Wizz widgets are pretty cool for these agenda views (especially the [half-]transparent mode).

Thanks! I think I'll try to copy it myself when I get back in town and if that fails then use the copy you made available. It's such a simple widget I was surprise I couldn't find anything like it on google-play. All I could find where the widgets taht show your messages (not great for security).

I tried installing the widget it self and it refused to install; I suspect it needs the asus mail client (which is not a bad thing) but I have not tried to install both the mail client and the widget (yet).
I probably needs to be pushed to system/apps

yes, adb push or simply copy within the device (and set permissions as a rule of thumb)
Is there anyway to add documents straight to our home screen? Like a short cut? Currently I have to sort through root explorer, I haven't seen a way bit was wondering if there was a way to put it there like an apk. Thanks!
Root explorer will let you add folders to your home screen. Their is also some apps that let you do this. You will need to add a file folder on you SD card and than make a link to that folder. File Widget in the market is a free app if you don't have root explorer.

Hi,
I'm looking for a app where i can handwrite and the text conver for digital text (like Samsung S-Note).
After some search i've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098807
So my questions are:
1- Will this app work on Asus Infinity?
2- Will Asus made the update of this app to turn possible the text recognition?
Best regards,
VGCC
Just tried it. Works. Could also import my old notes.
But it is not optimized for the large screen. Recognition does not work.
The font is even smaller than in supernote 1.55 and I have not found any way to resize it or zoom into.
Otherwise it is much better than version 1.55
Well it works. It's sort of like Super note version 1.1. It's nice that you can draw and write on the same bit of paper without having to insert a picture you draw separately.
Problems? Screen is too high res so it doesn't fill it properly and I couldn't figure out how to enable handwriting recognition.
If they updated this for the higher res screen it would be nice!
Thanks for your replies. I've tried, but happens all the things you said. I hope that ASUS made the upgrade on next stock rom.
Best regards
VGCC

Try "7 Note with Mazec" from the Play Store.
I think, that is the app you are looking for. l am writing this with a stylus. The app is a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
you can take handwritten notes and convert them to written text later or as you are writing, and you can also use this app as a text input method wherever you have a text entry field: Gmail, browser, search etc.
It installs as a custom keyboard so you can easily switch between keyboard and handwriting. It also does predictions and seems to get better the longer I use it!
This is my favorite writing method if I do not have the tablet in the dock.
It gets even better if you also use Keyboard Manager. I have Keyboard Manager activate the stock Asks keyboard when the tablet is docked, Swiftkey when undocked in landscape, and 7Note with Mazec when undocked in portrait.:good:

Yes I have bought 7 notes. It is an amazing app! That and FreeNotes give you Super Note on steroids. :good:
I'm unable to download the beta version of 7 note, says it is not compatible. Running clean rom 3.3...any ideas?

Set your dpi to 240
I'll have to flash for that right? Or does clean rom have a setting I'm not seeing? Thanks for the tip I really want to like this app!

You can either reflash which isn't really a problem as you will keep all your settings and apps if you don't do a wipe. Just choose everything again.
Or you can edit the build.prop in /system. Use es file explorer to open he file as text in es note editor and edit the very last line. Reboot and you will be at 240.
Yeah no dice... Changed build prop to 240 from 224 and still show incompatible. Thanks for the idea though! Any other ideas? It's weird because the free version had no problems.

Maybe its not compatible with our resolution. Have you emailed the dev? I've only used it on a nexus 7
Just went to the Store and it works fine. CROMI 3.4 213 DPI
That was my next option. Thanks dude!

Does this have Palm rejection?
Can someone tell me how to restore my icons and folders after flashing a new ROM? I use TB and its been pretty easy getting everything back, but tired of having to recreate folders and creating shortcuts.
