Tablet apps on CM7? - TouchPad General

Do we get the tablet apps when we install CM7? Such as the tablet Market, the SwiftKey keyboard, etc.? I'm curious.

Well the ICS leaked apps are running pretty well. Amazon Appstore is running good as well. I have also install the GetJar store and I was able to get a few apps off from there. Look to see what you can install. I have replaced the Stock Browser with Firefox from the Market.

what Keyboard app are you guys running on this? anythinhG SIMILAR to the ipad or webos one?

swiftkey tablet is awesome, theres a free trial too. does a regular keyboard and a split one for thumbs.
BTW, Pulse is a fantastic news app, works and looks great on tablets.

I found this post and it tells how you can flash Google apps and addons after getting CM 7 on touchpad

I'm running CM7 7.00 Stable off an SD card, and i installed the nook app. It sees sideloaded books and magazines, but any purchased books and magazines do not show up. Has anyone else seen this?

yeah, but you cant view magazines or newspapers.....
Runs fine in Phiremod. Magazines are a little sluggish, and books take forever and a day to open the first time, but good other than that. I'm running Phiremod now because of this app. Was Autonootered because of my Economist subscription.

Apps and games

I've had my tab for a, few months now and I don't use it much aside from netflix but i want to use it for games and such. The market is confusing when it comes to finding tablet made apps and games. So if all of you want to post the apps and games you use to make your tab worth using post it here!

not really a tablet version, but it works. If it were a tablet version, the left pane would only expand to about a quarter of the page. I bet it works with honeycomb and ics though
Actually it doesn't even works with the honeycomb or ics tablets...Check out some pics here:

IPad and ios version is the same so I don't expect a fully compatible tablet version. A 3rd party fb app is "tablet" ready but lacks the features the current fb app has. Reckon its up to the user if they want aesthetic over features or vice versa.
Webos has tablet version right? But I like the current android version. I used it on mobile.website.

It's not really a tablet version but it's a lot better than the old one.

Friendcaster has all of the features of the regular FB app, at least all of the ones I use. It works great on the TP.

I've tried It and I'll pass it doesn't have the same features as original app. And I don't like ads.

I really like the touchpad version, especially the magazine style news feed. The sliding of the panes, and links is just like the rest of webOS, intuitive and smooth. It pulls your pictures into the picture application, WP7 style, another nice treat.
The phone app version on Android seems such a waste of the screen. When on the android side I use dolphin browser to get the full site.
The superior Facebook app is just another reason I use Android less and less on my touchpad.

Tagging friends using @, integratedvchat and messaging inbox, also some posts don't show up if users set certain privacy settings.
Also some features have to be opened on the site since friendcaster doesn't support them natively

That's one thing I miss from WebOS it had a really good FB app, and I liked how it linked your facebook albums into thep hoto app.
Fb v1.8 works fine on my tp with no crashes.

Zite on CM9

Hi,
I recently made a switch to CM9. I was using an App made for webOS called Zite. I like Zite and want to continue using it. I found app in Google Play. I am trying to install Zite from Google Play. But it shows message that "your device is not compatible with this version". I tried modifying build.prop but there was no impact. Is there a way to install Zite on CM9?
Thanks
Do you have any other android devices? You could try side loading from one of them...
Never mind, I uploaded it here for you since it's a free app. Just use your file explorer to install it!

Flipboard is really awesome. In app experience is just awesome. Smooth like butter on TP. U can't install it from play store though (like zite). Side load it using the procedure mentioned above by SGA

Here is an app to send apk's via Bluetooth or gmail. Make sure you have it set to share apk and not link.

On android zite does not support tablets. Have you tried to side load it? Try to Google zite.apk the only problem with this method is it won't do updates but you might get it to work until they come out with a tablet version.

If you can't get Zite working well for you you might want to look at the app called Google Currents. Even when I was using webos I wasn't a big fan of Zite . Currents works pretty well.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
I have never used Zite but as others mentioned, Flipboard (side load required), Google Currents (loads fine from market) & Pulse (market loadable) are a few that work perfectly good on TP.
Thanks for responses. I have Flip board, Google currents, APPY Geek and Pulse in addition to Zite. I use all these apps. I almost exclusively use those . I recollect installing all these from play store with cm9 June version. No side loading. But now (with aug version) it won't let me. Even Flip board says app is not compatible, however I have it already installed. My major issue with Flip board is, it only works in portrait mode.
Zite on webOS is beautiful. I am a business user and am one of those who like webOS's simple user interface.

Awesome. Although it will be very hard to persuade me from using swiftkey, ever.
