Hey all, recently got a beefy laptop and I am trying to make a lich king on a throne as my live wallpaper. Anyone here who can help?
No, I do not want the VLC method of it, in case someone tries suggesting it
The best method I know and I've been using is through Wallpaper Engine on Steam, not only is it powerful, it has steam workshop support, a big community and an app coming to Android too, easily one of the best 3 bucks I've spent.

Emmh don't tell me you've never thought about porting application from the iPhone to a Windows Mobile Device. Found out a program is being developed to do this:
here's the news:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee355030.aspx
Anyone think it is doable?
well thought someone might enjoy the 1/10000000 chance
Nice catch.....if I read well it is a case study on how it can be done.....since MS operating system is loosing quite some market share vs Android, iphone etc and WM7 is around the corner requiring all new software development....indeed this to happen for us WM6.1/6.5 is 1/100000000000
I can already picture myself playing Plants VS Zombies...
Ah ok......I am not a gamer.......
You could ofcourse buy an iPhone.......
Haha only ppl with patience can use an IPhone - tried the other day and got furious - hard to type and get turning the screeen hahaha
I really need a document editing app for my gtab but they are all so expensive. Has anyone used a solid app with TNT 4.4.0 that they could recommend before I spend 15 bucks on one? Thanks Guys.
Search this site for quickoffice...I got it here for free

To be fair, they're expensive for a reason...
I've purchased Documents ToGo and am very happy. It renders complex documents better than QuickOffice as well, and to me accurate rendering was the most important aspect.
I've had good comments about ThinkFree in the past, but I haven't tried it personally.
+1 on Docs to Go.
It is not cheap for a reason. It does a lot of stuff and does it well.
quick office pro is super effective!!!. XD
I find it the most user friendly for use on a g tab.
QuickOffice Pro
I have been using QuickOffice Pro for about four months now and have zero complaints about it. I would highly recommend it.
As for the version Gojimi got off of the Notion Ink image... since it was bundled with that device I would assume the makers of that tablet and the makers of QuickOffice had a licensing deal and so to use that version on any other tablet smells a bit too much like piracy to me.
If you want developers and companies to keep bringing us great apps and games then we should make every effort to support them with our money.
Just sayin'...
[edit] One thing to note, QuickOffice Pro didn't show up for me in the Market so I had to purchase it on my Droid X and sideload it from there. But, once it is loaded on the gTab you can check for updates within the app and it will initiate a download if one is there.
I have been using QuikOffice and like it.
I see there is a QuickOffice Pro HD on the market - specifically for tablets.
I have tried to download it but get a Parse Error when attempting to install it. Same thing when I attempt to side load it.
Anyone else experience this?
Is Pro HD a Honeycomb only version exclusively for the Xoom?
Good morning!
It only just occurred to me yesterday, that the large touch screen of the NC would be great for a city building style game like AoE/Anno/Sim City.
I've already seen Anno on the Nintendo DS and iOS so we know the touch interface suits the RTS style of game, but I've not had any luck finding any similar games for Android (except maybe Sim City Metropolis which has generally terrible reviews).
So I was just wondering if anyone had come across some peaceful building sims that I could try out?
Thanks!
There is majesty. You could try that one.
Any other games I would like to know too.
SNesoid then grab SimCity ROM.
Haypi Kingdom looks like it could be interesting, but it won't let me create an account. It just tell me that my device is already registered to someone called jbryant187. Anyone else have this problem?
Are you on froyo? As i understood froyo randomise an imei number at startup. You can have someone else imei..
CM7, but I figured it was something like this. Just annoying that I can't create a new account.
OpenTTD.

Haven't tried it on NC yet, but it's pretty much playable on Dell Streak.
I played Majesty on the NC, its actually really fun and works perfectly - it only has like 8 levels though. So you go through them pretty quickly.
I found one that has some promise, Townsmen 6. Free and paid versions available.
yes. majesty is really good.
there's also Settlers, Townsmen 6, and to a smaller extent Hot Springs Story.
Great thread. I'm about to try out Paradise Island now.
You can also run Warcraft 2 and Starcraft through stratagus. It doesn't have sound like it did on Windows Mobile (but maybe they'll fix it or someone will finally make a decent Android strategy game).

Thank youu
I play Paradise Island and Townsmen6.
Paradise Island is quite boring soon, since only thing is getting money and building new buildings.
Townsmen has more interest, since U must take care of your people.
Amazon was just giving majesty away free as part of there a free app a day promo. It runs well on my nook and its nice on a larger screen.
Hi,
just got SGT 3G 10.1 to write a review. Since my everyday device is iPad (1) and a while back I have decided I will wait Tegra 2 devices out I got few simple questions I need help with (because of the different system):
- how do I put Netflix app on this thing?
- how do I hack Hulu (I do not have Hulu Plus)?
- I got Dice player (trial) and it works nicely with my NAS storage but it is a trial :-( I do not want to spend cash on software since I do not have any Android device currently - so.. is there any decent free alternative to Dice Player (btw: Mobo is having problems with playback)
- is there any nice (free) RSS reader (like Mobile RSS for iPad)
- any other way to watch NBC or ABC (there are apps for iPad) than through browser?
- do you guys use stock browser or is there any better free alternative (heard rumours that proper Chrome is coming - lucky you!!)
Do your SGT's get warm at the back (area below on/off switch)?
Thanks for help, in advance!
Are you planning to review the SGT 10.1 also .....?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Also?
No, just.
But I am interested in those things for myself as well. A while back I decided to go with iPad 1 instead of SGT. Now, since I got it for a longer period of time I also want to know if I made a right choice.

So what your saying is that your not really planning on doing a review on the Tab 10.1??? The title of your post confuses me a bit then.
And since you have both the iPad and a Tab wouldn't it be easy to see if you made the right choice for yourself. You have both devices right in front of you to compare. "The right choice" is really dependant on how you plan to use and what your looking for from your device. Everyone expects and demands a little something different from the devices they choose. Case in point, my wife wanted a tablet that she could play games on, check her email and shop online with. I wanted a tablet that I could tweek to were I could use it for not only personal things like media, browsing and gaming but also easily setup to use for work as well. She opted for the iPad 2 for its ease of setup and use, I opted for the Tab 10.1 for its ability to customize it to my exact needs.
The right choice is for you and only you to make in the end... Your the one who has to use it everyday.

No, no. Sorry for misunderstanding. I am definitely doing SGT 10.1 review.

Try MX Palyer.
What software version does your tab have? I ask because older versions are really laggy. Install KI1 and you will get a really smooth device, you can find it in development forum.
RSS reader, try Pulse.
I'm using the stock browser. Make sure you enable plug ins in settings, otherwise flash won't work.
You can find the Netflix apk in apps forum.
I found a link to Netflix app on transformer forum. Downloaded, installed - does not work :-(.
After logging in I got error message about stream (will let you know the no later on as I do not have the device with me).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=93644018 - this is all I found about hulu - not much (I entered Hulu Hack).
BTW: how to get apps that have regional restricition, with iTunes it is easy, one just needs to setup new account. Same with Android Market?
Software on this tab shows HC 3.1 and it is laggy as hell. When going out from settings to home screen it takes a bit to draw all the widgets and first few swipes between desktops are far from smooth
Al the time I find its screen a bit less responsive than at iPad - has any one else similar feeling/response?
And let me ask again - back of the device I got gets quite warm, enough to get sweaty fingers which makes holding the device not very pleasant.
I think manufacturers should make teir tablets as light as possible but a bit thicker (not like Xoom or Thrive) but a bit chunkier than iPad2 or SGT 10.1.
But my overall experience so far is good - funny thing about screens. As there is difference between iPad and SGT in resolution (and fonts and screen size) I find it easier to surf the net with ipad (I use iPad 99% of the time in horizontal position with "Home" button on the side), like everything on the screen a wee bit bigger and easier to read. On the other hand when it comes to pictures and movies SGT looks better.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry my bad.
Umm Netflix is on the market. Most of these questions are android related and not specific to the tab. I encourage you to try out apps and read the forums like the rest of us if you want a true review. The beauty of android is its ability to be customized. Take some time to make the device truly yours then review it.
I appreciate your comment, that is exactly what I am trying to do. Unfortunately I can not find the information I am looking for. I have tried "search" and entered there both "key words" Netflix and Hulu - so far no luck.
If Netflix app is in the market it is ot available to me as I'm am not in the USA. I have to admit that it is much easier with iOS. Especially for someone fresh.
I have had both and got rid of the ipad2. My main reason, though, was I needed openvpn and couldn't wait for a jailbreak for the ipad2 to come out since mine was new enough to already have 4.2.5 on it, no SHSH blobs.
That said I ditched my iPhone for a captivate, so I should have known already
So I've owned Android phones for years. Droid X, S3, and now the One M8. I even had a brief stint with an Android Tablet, the HP Touchpad after the firesale, but it's been years and I barely used it anyway.
So I'm very new to the Android Tablet world, and I'm looking for input on how to get started.
What are the best tablet-optimized apps? (this is the biggest one I'm looking for)
What are the best tablet-optimized games?
What is the best productivity suite for tablets? (I've asked this in several threads and gotten some good feedback, but I'm always looking for more)
Where is a good place to get ideas for creative homescreen setups for tablets? (I'm one of the crazy people who's really into that)
Any other awesome tablet-specific tips anyone has?
Thanks so much. Can't wait to get this baby!

I dont know the answers to most of your questions since my app use and games tend to be limited to just the few types of games I enjoy these days, but as for homescreens I am sure we will see some awesome homescreen setups in a thread here soon enough. That would be the best place to get ideas I think because it will be from other users of this tablet. I love to customize the homescreen with new designs often too, but I generally stay with a similar feel. Which is minimal icons and widgets on screen, just a handful of shortcuts to launch the most common things, and double tap to get to the app drawer which I organize and filter to only show the specific apps I would ever use and not all the random ones. Here are a couple I did on my Nexus 10 from a couple years back:

IMO, it should be the other way around. You should buy a tablet for a reason/purpose, not find a reason/purpose to buy a tablet. Otherwise, it'll end up sitting in a drawer just like the previous one.
You say you've used Android phones before. The tablet experience isn't much different besides the bigger screen. The same advantages and disadvantages are present. It's pretty much universally agreed upon that Android is still pretty weak for tablet-optimized apps and games. It all comes down to your preference for screen sizes.
The reason I use a tablet is because sometimes I wish my smartphone had a bigger screen. It's nice to surf the web, watch Youtube, and read e-books. I run the pretty much the same apps on both my Tab S and my Nexus 5.

Clash of Clans should work well on Android tablets. It's a game that really needs a bigger screen. If you like city building games, try the new SimCIty buildit game which EA touts as being tablet optimized. Also, i read somewhere that Hearthstone will be release by the end of the year for Android tablets specifically (phone releases won't be available until later).
My two favorite customization apps are Zooper Widget and Nova Launcher. You should give them a try on the tablet. Checkout the XDA forum section for Themer and Zooper to get ideas: http://forum.xda-developers.com/themer
Baconreader on a tablet is great for looking at pr0n. :good:
I set mine up to be a pr0n only account and set the subreddits accordingly.
Open app, pr0n pops out.

I'd definitely recommend using Google Apps (Keep, Drive, Slides, etc.) these sync across your Google account which makes them extremely useful when you use a PC. You could use Microsoft's version of apps of this if that is more your style. I'd get a controller if you're planning on some heavy gaming as well; there are tons of bluetooth ones that work great. I definitely recommend rooted this tablet as there will tons and tons of development for it! Good luck!
