I have found the built-in screen savers for Hub Mode to be lacking - wanted to share one that I found and see if y'all had any others that worked nice with the Pixel Tablet! Looks like most apps built for the old "Daydream" feature are able to be set as a Hub Mode screen saver.
Widget ScreensaverGreat way to display Material You Widgets, but lacks some customization / free movement options and can be clunky

[App][4.2+] Widget Screensaver
Turn any widget into a screensaver! Android has a native screen saver option (yes, I also forgot about that) that was called Daydream before Daydream VR was a thing and is now just called "Screen Saver". I was surprised not a single screen...

Any other apps out there that make good use of Hub Mode?

I made this thread, so that you could recommanded aps that works with your x10. Etc apps that you frequently use and so on.
I hAven't gotten mine yet, but I will probably get the same main apps as I had on the magic.
1. Gulesider( a Norwegian app, a really nice app. A easy way to find phone numbers etc. It does also show the name of the person that is calling you)
2.advanced task manager( allows you to shut down some of the apps running on your device)
3. AndFtp ( a FTP app)
4. Glance( file manager)
5. Pure calendar(a good looking calendar widget for your android phone, there is a theme for it that is transparent. Love this widget tbh)
6. Spotify
7. Yr.no (a weather widget)
8. NRK radio
9. OI File Manager/OI Notepad
10. TV Guide
11. Science facts
feel free to share some of the android Apps that you like.
Im using same apps as on the legend and hero.. Good habits are hard to change:
gulesider and yr ofcourse.
Estrong Taskmanager (my choise of taskmanager)
Estrong File Explorer
Dolphin Browser (really great browser for android)
Zedge Ringetones & wallpapers (Great selection, and ofcourse, since they're norwegian)
Weather Widgets (yr.no) - Copies the HTC flip clock (Which I love !)
Battery Graph - nothing like analyzing that battery drain!
SuperDial for faster contacts lookup.
i am using:
takephone (smartdial app)
gblocker (call filter app)

first of all, it is called Spotify
and yes it does exist for the android platform
And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....
So, here's my list:
Advanced Task Killer
Battery Time Lite
Spotify - Rocks
Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds
Scoreboard - Football scores
Calwidget - Nice widget for my calendar
Handcent SMS - Brilliant SMS app
aTAKEphone - Nice phone/dialer-ap
YR.no widget - Weather widget
mVideoPlayer - Handy video player
ASTRO - Excellent file browser
FlashLightApp - widget using camera light
Apps Organizer - Quite useful with widgets for labels
Barcode Scanner - Scann app-barcodes
FotMob - Excellent football-app
FxCamera - Fun camera app
GPS Logger - Logs your GPS-position to file - can be used to geotag your SLR-shots for example
Gule Sider - norwegian national phone book
Locale - Auto-change settings based on location
PdaNet - Tether
StopWatch - you got it
TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide
Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones
bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.
I've got a new one to add:
NewsRoom
A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.
Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable.
Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock.
Handcent- Best SMS app
Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included)
FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off.
GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage
Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget
Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications.
OperaMini5- Web Browser
Aldiko- Ebook reader
WiFinder- WiFi finder
HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there.
HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far.
Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.
I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.
I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now..
It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....
SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!
I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?

You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).

Cool !
We needed a thread like this, also one for the best stock widgets from diff. phones/tablets.
They aren't 20 but I love them:

-xperia clock: the clock of xperia smartphones

Since the inception of mobile cellular phones with digital color displays, the main home screen has been based on the same basic principal:
A page (or pages) of icons that takes the user to a particular application or tool.
However, this modern day and age, with the evolution of technology and the introduction of the SMART phone - the user interface has not evolved.
With touch screen technology and large screen size on our everyday smart phones, should there be some evolution in the same old icons of applications?
I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, ARE IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE ANDROID HOME SCREEN LAUNCHER.
It can be a home screen launcher app, or a combination of widgets or mods, that make a superb, smart and intuitive user experience.
Looking for? Criteria? Ideals?
Something like "Flow Home" app launcher with Google Now Screen, Flipboard/Blink feed live feed and with widgets that are more like interactive apps. A personal assistant-like AGENDA page, a pebble-like timeline information. Quick google search. Quick launch favorites app - like PIE control. Smart auto categorized apps into easy access folders.
Is there a launcher that has the ability to fully integrate an app such as facebook or flipboard as one "full screen" page? That would be amazing. I would have Google Now or some smart agenda assistant app as the default home page, swipe left is facebook, swipe right is flipboard, and if i do some gesture swipe i get my apps organized by smart or frequency or favourites.
I've tried and tested majority of the well known launchers:
Aviate Launcher - excellent!, my current launcher - looking for smarter/better
Flow Home Launcher - excellent, my second go to launcher - i like their favorites app, PIE control-like button and their "news feed"
Google Now Launcher - basic but i like the google now page and it's "smart" information, and it's integration with google calender, keep as i use this constantly
Nova, APEX, Hola and equivalent - bland, very customization but too simple of rows and columns!
GoLauncher - dislike heavy on colour/animation/memory/cpu usage with same results as NOVA, APEX etc.
ActionLauncher - like NOVA but like their widgets on right-swipe page
SmartLauncher - quick start is all that it offers, smart categories all home screen apps have
