Enough tablet apps...?

how come there aren't alot of tablet apps? How difficult is it to upscale or modify the app to be tablet native? (not being sarcastic)

Not all the devs have xooms yet,
Wait till IO and we will see a bunch of new and existing apps for honeycomb

If you download Spare Parts and disable compatibility mode it will full scale the apps that are fixed to phone dimensions

Most of the time, its not as simple as the developer getting a new SDK and rebuilding with it. New SDK's cause new bugs and new instabilities.
They have to remake all new art work for larger screens and high resolutions so that takes time.
And the Android Tablets aren't exactly "readily available" like Android phones are. Guys who are coding at home on weekends may not have the cash to pick one up right now. (That accounts for a lot of apps) Big companies also want to see how the market reacts to tablets before they invest in development of software for one when the entire market could flop (Doubtful, but not without its risk).

I'm an android developer in my day job and I promise you, if you want apps that really take advantage of honeycomb they have to be rebuilt from the ground up in the interface department at least. There are some exceptions but on the whole...
Be patient and the updates will come.
I'm even working on a couple of apps at home specially for the XOOM.

Since this is the first tablet that dropped with Honeycomb, it might be a bit for everyone to catch up. The same thing happened when Windows computers went from XP to Win 7 OS. It took a bit for the software developers to remake newer versions.

Its strange that we dont even see support (right now) for big companies like facebook or twitter. or even some other google apps dont have that support yet.

I'm guessing Google hasn't given them the AOSP before the public? Or maybe there wasn't any incentive for them to develop an app for something they didn't think would have the market share.
I remember when I first got my HTC Dream a couple of years ago, that there wasn't even a Facebook app out yet for it (it was still on stock Donut ROM from Rogers).

10.1 inches of web browser not reason enough not to call this a "mobile"?
I sure wouldn't write an app for something already fully functional.

True, a lot of these sites work just fine with the browser (Stock, Dolphin). One thing that is a little bit off topic is the ability to hide the status bar (or go fullscreen with the browser) so we can really get the 10.1 inches rather then the 8 or so that we get with everything on the screen.

[Q] What are you looking forward to in ICS for the Transformer?

We've got a bunch of great ROMs out and many are ICS themed. And ICS seems like a bigger update for phones than it does for tablets anyway. So then, what do you hope for in an ICS release for our Transformers (besides for CM9 )?

spell check...

I know I'm asking too much but would love 1080p recording and playback.
I also hope they fix the hdmi panasonic plasma issue fixed here by clemsyns kernel.

new style, new features, new market,
maybe faster and optimized.
but most for a browser which is fast, has no keyboard input lag, and handles the dock well with german language

Most important to me:
1) Fix conection to Panasonic plasma via HDMI
2) Create folders on home screen without any launcher

how about no crashes... my browser will close without FC message on random pages.

what i am most looking forward to it is coming out and these anticpation threads drying up!!

That some apps that block HC will now be supported.

I second that. I got sick and tired of hearing about ICS back in September, and I was really fired up in July,
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

This isn't really an anticipation thread. I was genuinely curious as to what people are looking out for because it doesn't seem like ICS will bring very much change to what we currently have.

I have read that ICS will finally bring cisco ipsec to android which i am eagerly awaiting.
I am also hoping the javascript engine on the browser will be improved to make browsing better and quicker.
other than that i just want some more RTS games to be released for android.

I'm looking forward to a significantly faster browser (according to early reports), and the ability to kill tasks without needing to install a third-party app to do so. (Now we just need a way to prevent tasks being automatically killed when not in the foreground.)

I want a browser without keyboard lag.

the keyboard lag, is that when characters with accents pop out of nowhere?

I think it may have to do with the rendering or something. Opera Mobile seems to basically stick in a native widget, usually looks wrong but works; the stock browser otoh seems to do it like a desktop browser would.

Jellybean! For us? Anyone know?

So jellybean has been unveiled at Google's I/o project as a minor update (4.1) given its minor status anyone think/know if we will be able to run it, there doesn't seem to be much information on the actual devices that can expect it, they did say its being given to all carriers immediately so any delays in it being pushed to the handset is your carriers fault this time , thoughts?

hows the siri rival i heard was included?

From HTC, i don't think so.. even if it would take 24 hours work to put it on our device, they won't do it
But from nk & nexx, i'm pretty sure we'll get it no questions asked, once we get our kernel sources, that is
I think the 3.0 kernel would work allright since i don't really think there are many driver-related changes, so that would work, but i'm not sure as the "project butter" thingy has some stuff goin' under the hood, so i'm not sure ;~;

HTC so far have announced they are "planning to support it across a variety of our devices". We'll have to wait for the inevitable announcements.
Source: http://phandroid.com/2012/06/28/htc...a-selection-of-phones-sometime-down-the-line/

No way.
There'll be no Official Jelly Bean for Desire S.
As for ICS, HTC already made it clear they are doing customer a big favor in deploying the update.
And that we, the customer, are supposed to be thankful for them and not whining/complaining when the ICS update is pushed off to as late as possible.
Unless DS is lucky like DHD which luckily made it through from 2.2 to 4.0

Hmmm I can't help but envy apple's 3 product line that all get the same updates, nothing worse than knowing a perfectly capable phone won't get a minor update just to try and force u into buying a newer expensive model

Are you serious? Apple is as bad, if not worse, at fragmenting their products - and they've got no excuse for it. This is the same company that is rolling out the new Maps software, but only for the iPhone 4S, not for the iPhone 4 - there is only one reason for that, and that's to force people to upgrade.

Agree, the only difference is Apple is pretending to ship the same software to all devices, because they all got the same version number, what's even worse for my opinion than just clearly saying, you won't get it.
Additionally it's also to trick statistics, because that way it looks like there is no fragmentation, what is indeed good marketing, but pretty bad in human terms.
About jelly bean for the ds, it sure will come, but I don't think official, "only" one s/v ports (or other devices) and for sure cm and aokp.

Jelly bean differnces
Caught this from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899 good info about JB (i keep thinking that JB is Jinger bread XD)
blockbusta said:
Hi everybody,
i'm on stock Jelly Bean with official Jelly Bean bootloader + radio and want to tell you about my experience with it (got stock ROM from the link in Rom Manager and flashed the radio and boot loader files from some topic in this forum. Locked the bootloader afterwards).
Okay let's start:
At first haven't noticed any bugs with this ROM. Also the system is way smoother compared to 4.0.4 ICS and many things that have annoyed me in 4.0.4 have been fixed.
Biggest differences between ICS and JB:
(I will add pictures later)
- Data Usage Graph is now linear, like in CM9:
- Some benchmarks are better:
- Some benchmarks are worse:
- Wi-Fi Direct has now an option menu:
- WPS-Pin is now supported:
- the account-settings are now a seperated category in the settings:
- Now there's an arrow downwards instead of the back button when the keyboard is opened:
- There is an other lockscreen animation and you can access google now from lockscreen:
- new animations:
- access google now instantly by swiping up from the home button:
- Process of adding a new word to the dictionary have been optimized:
- Developer options have been rearranged and new ones have been added:
- New Wallpapers:
- New Search-Bar:
- New Radio and Bootloader:
- New Boot-Animation:
- Homescreen objects rearrange when you add an widget automatically:
- New Google Music App:
- New Youtube App:
- New Google Maps app:
- New Voice Search app:
- Contacts with a higher resolution:
- Expandable Notifications:
- Completely redesigned nofication bar:
- New animations in gallery app
- Optimized Camera app:
- New programm-chosing-menu:
- If you want a tutorial or more information about jelly bean just write your questions here. I will update this post afterwards.
Questions:
Is google now english only? :
- No. I just asked a few questions in german. It gave me search results but I it just list sites with the answers. No knowledge graph in german. But it shows me my weather and my route to work with tiles
What happens if you enable/disable WiFi Direct for 5-10 times in a row? In ICS, after a couple of times toggling WiFi Direct the wifi driver crashed and I needed a reboot in order to make WiFi and WiFi Direct work again:
- Sorry I don't have another Wifi-Direct device to test this feature at this time.

new maps isnt really a big priority for everyone i meant more in the sense that they continued to give support to the iphone 4 in terms of new ios where as we get ics without sense 4 etc.. our product life cycle is jsut naturally shorter as there is more competition, sometimes I and alot of people probably forget while we may want a cheap cost-effective deal, for them it's a business.

I have tried many ICS roms for the Desire S, and i can tell you not a single one is laggy, unless of course you are talking about Sense 4 ROMs.. but those ROMs are also very smooth, and I can really say that they are laggy..
my only complain is the incorrect inversion of FFC in AOKP/CM9.. but that is HTC's fault.. not the developers.. If you need ICS ROMs for daily driver, I can strongly recommend you IceColdSandwich 8.2 or if you need Sense 4 on top of it, take Fallout 4.4.0.. But if you think thatthose are still laggy, then probably you should get yourself a One X or SGS3.. or maybe iPhone 4S..

Android 4.1.2

Will we receive android 4.1.2 or asus will just wait till android 4.2?
The only solution for now is to wait and see.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/...e-gives-nexus-7-owners-landscape-home-screen/

I don't think we will get 4.1.2 as we never got 4.0.4 before

I have no idea, but one thing I noticed in this announcement is that one of the improvements is the ability to rotate the Home Screen in landscape.
Just got my Infinity, and even the original Firmware had this ability, which was maintained in the JB update. I really like this feature.
Ironically, my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, also recently updated to JB (Stock OTA update) does *not* have the landscape rotation in the Home Screen, which is one of my few gripes with the device. Yes I know some third party launchers will add this, but often create other unwanted effects, so I haven't explored this yet.

I don't think they added anything that will enhance the experience on this device specifically.

On 4.1.2 they have added to the functionality of the notification menu. Instead of having to use 2 fingers to expand the gmail notification, for example, you just need to use one finger now. But they still haven't updated GAPLESS PLAYBACK for google music.

Is there an option that has to be enabled or something? I still need both fingers to expand/collapse notifications.

Features I'd like
I've no problem with performance or battery life... those are fine
The only features I want is:
Wifi-Direct back (why would they REMOVE a feature in a UPdate?)
Fixing the random freezing that happens on normal OTA JellyBean and Custom ROMS. You'd try to turn on the screen but it won't, forcing you to reset the tablet by holding down the power button, that's all I want. <<< most important
Getting the wallpaper to scale nicely in portrait and landscape outside the stock launcher app
Removing idiotic items from the settings menu, like the tethering options. This is a wifi-only tablet, so how exactly would you like to use tethering? Your asking a cart to pull another donkey...

Busybox
Hi
Just updated via OTA, reinstalled CWM_Recovery and installed superSU 0.99.
Phone is rooted once again but it seems like busybox is unable to install, tried a few different versions and none seem to stick, a few even causes a crash/reboot of the phone.
Have a few programs that are reliant on Busybox to function.
Am i the only one with this problem ?

I think the update is rubbish. If anything its not as smooth as the Ics update, project butter must be a vanilla only experience because there is no way it's buttery smooth

I'm really annoyed about the new keyboard layout which was an utterly unnecessary change. Not to mention that the keyboard is somewhat laggy. Apart from that it's fine and I could live with it if I would get back full root functionality.
By the way, has anyone solved their root issues (SuperSU, Busybox, and a couple other apps and tools not working) yet?

Nope I'm also having the same issues. After reading over the superSU thread it seems like HTC have done something to prevent system changes so it's basically a case of waiting until some devs find a work around

Is there an app to reorder the notifications in the notificationbar? I have 2 apps as trigger and new notifications are in the middle of these apps. I want new notifications at bottom.

Haven't got the update yet, but I'd like to know if they solved the touchbutton issue? And does USB OTG work now without extra cables? The only 2 things I'm missing.

Touch button issue is better so far but cannot say for sure that it is fixed, since now we have the Google now issue but not as frequently as before.
The new issue for me after the update is that the hands-free control is not customisable through apps after update, only single click function works for me, no track skipping or volume control

The worst update I've made on any phone....ever!
I need to downgrade ASAP, however, because I'm a relative noob and I'm unrooted I need some assistance. Any advice will be appreciated.

Just installed and had 10 minutes with it. To me my phone definitely seems a little quicker and more responsive, might just be me being excited about new stuff though! I use Swiftkey so never touch the Sense keyboard, I just gave the new one a quick go and switched back to Swiftkey, I can type on it almost as quick as a real keyboard so it would take something amazing to shift me from it. I like what I see of Google Now so far, we'll see how it pans out though. The camera changes seem good, fairly subtle differences but I think it's quicker too. I like the power saver mode, think that will be a useful one. Switching off data when the screen is off is a great feature.
So far, so good.

I am pretty fond of the new No-Lockscreen option. Something I have missed from the AOSP versions, probably the only reason I will stick with sense on JB.
