More specifically (and I realize some of these can be done through HTML5):
Libre Office
Readr (pixelmags)
Facebook
Kindle App
Nook App
Flipboard
Google Currents
Youtube
Netflix
Amazon Instant Video
DirecTV
HBO Go
Firefox
Google Chrome
Dolphin Browser
Adobe Flash Plugin
Gimp
Inkscape
Blender
Unity 3D
OpenSCAD
Photoshop
After Effects
Twine
Qt Creator
Eclipse

WhatsApp is the only thing I have installed from the store on my Galaxy Nexus. Looking at their website they seem to port it to everything (Nokia S4, Symbian, Windows Phone etc.) so might end up on Ubuntu aswell.

i agree with all .
What's app and Skype would be great too .
also the XDA app

Spotify. Its my favorite music app. I think I saw it on their app menu already though, so maybe its already on there. Rhythmbox would also be cool if they could make a version for the phone OS.

Virtualbox on arm to run x86 operating system ... That is not going to happen, virtualbox virtualizes a os it does not emulate it .. For the later you would need a very powerful CPU and it still would be slow if it would work..
Or just wait until there are x86 powered phones with Ubuntu Phone out..

i basically hope that the "app market" or whatever they will call it will be a bit more controlled than the google play store. it's good that they don't have such restrictions like apple's app store but you can find a lot of trash in there.
my personla wish-list is
good stock apps like:
messages
email
calendar
camera
clock widget
and all those common apps like:
facebook
google+
maps
qr-code reader
...

Yeeeeeeah that's not gonna happen for a while the high end mobile gaming industry is not really the main focus of devs when games like angry birds are ****ting all over their profits and considering the amount of work that goes into it

Thank you for that... I thought virtual box processed everything first (emulated) so I figured it may work across architectures. Well that just ruined my day, I was really getting my hopes up too. I guess I will just have to hope that good for enterprise will get an app out for it at least.

What you want is Bochs or Qemu.
Bochs is a straight emulator which means it is slow.
Qemu has several modes: emulation, translation and virtualization. Translation (of processor instructions) would be the fastest mode in this case since virtualization isn't possible, but last time I used it (a long time ago), it wasn't quite stable.

Mine is AMD Phenom X6 @3.5Ghz, 8GB DDR3 RAM @1666Mhz, AMD Radeon 6770. Fedora with Gnome3 is my host OS, but I often never touch the host OS. I usually work inside VMs, and I have Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7 Enterprise, and Mac OS Server Snow Leopard set up and use Ubuntu for all my Android stuffs. I got two screens, so typically you'll see Windows 7 on the left and Ubuntu on the right.

Hmm how does Windows run in a VM box inside linux performance wise. Is it able to utilize the hardware efficiently? Or does it rely on a lot of emulation? If I up my RAM to compensate for the host and virtual system I kind of like that idea instead of Windows as host os

Windows runs great in a VM! I have a separate physical hard drive dedicated to each VM, so there is no slowdown associated with multiple OSes trying to utilize one hard drive at the same time.
Most of the devices are enumerated in some way. I use the redhat VirtIO network and storage drivers, which does give the guest OSes direct access to the networking and storage hardware. Video works ok with 3D acceleration, though I have never attempted something like gaming inside a VM. USB devices can be passed through to the guests such that the guest can directly communicate with a USB device (such as my Android phone for adb or fastboot stuff)
Generally speaking, for waht I do (mostly just webpage design and Android hacking), VMs are the perfect solution. I set it up this way originally so that I could do my web development in Windows, and then test how the page renders on different browsers and different OSes. In the past year though I've switched to where I'm really using Ubuntu as my primary OS, and only falling back to Windows when I really need to for some reason. I really love the flexibility of being able to simultaneously run many OSes on a single machine. If only I had a third monitor, then I could have Linux, Mac OS and Windows all on their own dedicated screens, sharing one keyboard and mouse! Awesome sauce!
AMD Athlon64x2 7550 K10 2.9ghz w 4gb DDR2 & Nvidia GTS250
Archlinux running XFCE4 with Compiz
Windows7 dualboot
WINE is always a good option to try before running windows in a VM if its avoidable.. as its an api helping to run win apps natively on linux VS running windows on a hardware emulator.. many apps and games run with few to no problems.. appdb.winehq.org ;-)

Seeder is a a service for root users. It assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by seeding it with fresh data from the non-blocking (high performance) random data source......This app does not increase raw performance, but rather eliminates some types of annoying lag (ie. applications briefly freezing, jerky scrolling, delays returning to the home screen, etc).It is the paid app so i could not upload the file rather take link of playstore...try it friends its cool

The flash is working perfectly for me. I used the pro version. I haven't tried the trial version. It's really fast without 3G or Wifi compared to other browsers. The only think that sucks is that you won't be able to download a thing. I think it doesn't support downloading. It's the fastest browser I have ever known if your aim of surfing the net is to browse and watch and not downloading. I have also played Zynga Poker on Facebook using this browser. It's a bit laggy coz Galaxy Y doesn't fully supports flash.

What puffin and opera state is nothing new they run the data through they're servers and bring it back to you the thing about that is that sometimes it can omit a full web experience that's why I use opera mini (the smaller 1) for light tasks probably reading some info and I use dolphin for everything else

[EASY MOD] Get Access to more Games straight from the PlayStore

Hello Everyone,
Since our S4s use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, you will not be able to find games/apps that are specific to each device, such as phones that use the NVIDIA Tegra processor.
This Mod will allow you to find, buy and install games from the Play Store that normally wouldn't be available for users using a stock S4 ROM.
Also, this was not discovered by me - I just found this on some sites and thought I should share the info :silly:
Disclaimer: As always, I am not responsible for any damages this may cause to your device. Proceed at own risk.
This works by fooling the Play Store into thinking you're using a different device.
INSTRUCTIONS
Get Root Access.
. Using a program such as Root Explorer, work your way to the following folder:
Code:
[B]/system[/B]
Make sure you have Read and Write Access (do this by hitting the "Mount R/W" button at the top in Root Explorer)
Long press "build.prop" and hit "Open in Text Editor"
Locate the line where it says:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=**********[/B]
Change whatever it says in there to 'olympus'. So you should now see:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=olympus[/B]
Reboot phone.
You should now be able to view and download Tegra apps from the Play Store.
Remember to hit Thanks if I helped you out in anyway Cheers!
Note: Since these games are developed for Tegra devices, they may be a tad bit glitchy. However, I've tried a few games out and they seem to work perfectly fine!
UPDATE: Even though changing the build.prop will give you access to more games, Tegra Exclusive games still don't seem to be working. If I find anymore information, I will update this thread.
More build.prop devices you can use

Based on this thread, the build prop would be:
Code:
ro.product.device=mako
I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure.
Try it if you want lol.
I'm getting wild blood now! Still won't let me download nba jam. Happen to know galaxy S3 build prop? I was able to play on my old G3. Strange, rayman jungle run still says it's incompatible? That's all right I ended up paying twice for it. Bought it off amazon market
Able to download wild blood and nova 3! Let's hope they both work. Not like there's a lack of GPU power

Can't wait to see when there optimized for our device! Two reasons why all games will be. No. 1 Google branded galaxy s4. No. 2 its already doing better then the galaxy S3.

Got all my games besides NBA jam. Tried maguro! Toro, D2vzw and none work. If anyone finds one that works or a trick that works like clearing market data please let me know. I love that game! Extremely frustrating that the dev just can't do the quick fix for us. Also sucks that they don't respond to kind emails neither! Big props to all of you geniuses that only android can attract.

The code to fool Playstore into thinking you have a S3 device is:
ro.product.device=d2att
It looks like it does show more apps, but rayman and NBA Jam still don't show unfortunately @mike216 I'll keep looking to see if I can get it to work!

Just found the best way to get the most apps to show up in the play store.
Best way to have the device set up is as follows.
ro.product.device=softwin
I am attaching 4 pictures just to show 2 apps that are missing in the top paid apps list.
Using d2att leaves a few apps still missing in the play store.
Using
ro.product.device=softwin (will give you more apps as ive seen. Two for example are max payne, 9mm and the game of life)
ro.product.device=softwin seems to be the best. I found this on one of my other android devices..... lol
If anyone can report back if they see more apps in the list as I do it woipd be great.

You should really try
ro.product.device=softwin
this will give you a lot more apps in the play store list.
Make sure you reboot.
Then use the phone for about 5 minutes and check multiple times for NBA Jam in the Play Store or even just NBA.
More apps then that will be added to your play store app list

Awesome! Which device is that for?
Its for one of my JXD Devices. Its not a phone, its not a tablet but it runs android amazingly.
My only question is we can get all these apps to show in the play store. 90% of them work.
But a select few dont, like 9mm, real boxing and a few others I cant rwmember right now.
9mm says Device not compatible.
Real Boxing gives a non Tegra Processor message once in the main menu.
Is there a fix for these two problems im describing for 9mm and Real Boxing that I just have not found on the XDA Forums and google?????
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda premium
So frustrating! I tried softwin but still no nba jam? How are you able to see this game? Did you clear data or anything else?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I restarted the phone after making the change.
Then go in the the play storw and search for it. Should come up after a few minutes doing multiple searches.
Think it takes time for playstore to load the new apps.

Google Play Movies HD

Anyone noticing issue's with HD play back on this tablet? I usually had an HD button to select for my HD movies and I can not find it on this new Device.
Curious if anyone else shares my experience or found a solution. Thanks!
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
[Edit] Strangely it seems to only be some movies and shows. I can go back on my Note 2 and check download sizes and this tablet is definitely getting marked as a non HD device on movies like Hangover 3, but my North America documentary will be in HD on the Tablet. Some reason different films are detecting the device differently. Going to try some more films.
[Edit 2] Now I am getting random messages that it can not fetch the license any more. Error 806
This is happening on movies that did work earlier on the device.
[Last Edit for reals] Did more digging around, for a vast majority of movies and shows on Google Play, this tablet is listed as either incompatible, or can not stream HD. Obviously this is wrong and Google will need to update their app. I've sent Google feedback on this, hopefully getting a response on when our HD tablets can actually play Googles HD movies.
Movies from the Samsung HUB do work as advertised. I've only found 720p however and those are pretty small in numbers.
Today there was an update along with the Play Store I believe and that has fixed everything. Our tablets are recognized as HD and all my license issues have been fixed.
If anyone hasn't gotten the update yet, be sure to restart your tablets to try and force the update.

just to clarify, this is a system update, or a play store app update??
It was a play store auto update. Not an OTA. We won't actually get notified it happened. The Play Store will have a menu that appears when you gesture right or press the top left icon. Once I got that the Movies & TV app worked perfect for this Tablet.

thats the new version of the play store, 4.4.21. I have that already, but my tablet still says that hd playback is not available on this device perhaps there is something else im missing?
Well all my HD movies I own will play back in HD now, with the red HD button besides the CC button. I just checked some new Releases movies and those do indeed say my Tablet is not supported for HD during the Checkout process.
But I do have new movies like The Internship and The Conjuring that play HD correctly.
I'm not sure why checkout still says our Tablets do not support HD on some films, but play HD just fine when played from My Movies.
2.7.15 is my current Movies & TV app

ok, I dont actually own any movies or rentals for the Play Store yet (I was going to spend some of the Play Store credit I just got on some) so i cant really test that. But I appreciate the input.
Not a problem! Good luck if you do buy some, I hope they play in HD for you.

Now today, my movies again refuse to play HD even though I have HD versions downloaded to the tablet. I'm just going on a limb saying that this is all some weird temperament glitch in Google's movie system. Some days it has HD, some not. Some days it can't get my license for the tablet but can for everything else, some days it does.
From everything I been able to see this is mostly on Google's end. Going off the facts that success is random.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
Anyone hear anything else about this? Can't play any of my own movies on Google Play. Don't even have the HD option. YouTube doesn't even play in full hd, even thought the HQ button is clicked. Annoyed as hell..
Sent from my Big 10 inch..
Also having this issue. I have 7 HD Play Movies, not one plays streams or downloads in HD. Oddly, I have a TV series from the Play Store that plays in HD, although it's 720p. Perhaps there's an issue with 1080p content. YouTube also looks rubbish on my device. I did buy my 10.1 from the US, so I did think the issue was some kind of regional DRM problem; now I'm not so sure. I contacted Google who said the 10.1 2014 is fully supported their end, and that I should contact Samsung.
Its still been very odd and random. I been trying to complain to both Samsung and Google Play. Both insist its the fault of the other guy. Or that its some how my error with my internet bandwidth.
I am certain though its Googles fault as I have been able to get everything to randomly play HD and even start downloading HD before. Its rare, but HD does stream at times.
I've noticed that my Note 3 also will play SD instead of HD now as well. Its very annoying. I almost want to just get movies directly from Samsung now since those play HD fine. Their selection is just horrible though.
Just received this email back from Google.

What would possibly prevent our tablet from being compatible? Someone dropped the ball on this one..
Sent from my Big 10 inch..
Looking at the list of compatible devices in the link they provided, the 2014 edition is listed, so I'm not sure why they sent you that response.
As I type this, both my 2014 Note and Note 3 are playing and downloading HD. Perhaps a new update came out? Or it was internal with Google's server's as we thought.

Samsung S Mouse

I just got my 12.2 LTE and will be collecting my free Samsung BT keyboard soon, I am wondering is there anyone who have tried the Samsung S Mouse with the keyboard for "desktop"like experience. Does it in anyway enhance the use of note pro as a laptop? The S Mouse is not cheap, is it worth getting? Thanks for sharing.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
I don't know if it offers any different functionality than a standard Bluetooth mouse, but I use both a bt mouse and a bt keyboard that has a built in track pad for remote pc connection and it works great as a laptop replacement, with one exception: in android, Google gas decided to map the right mouse button to the "back" function. Supposedly Citrix is going to overwrite that function with their newer update sometime in April.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I would also love to know?
aslo can you pair 2 devices like the keyboard and the mouse at the same time by bluetooth?
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
You can, but they will be jumpy. I usually just use the trackpad, but if I use a different bt keyboard I use the mouse, or I can shut off the trackpad portion of my main bt deck.

Where do you live? I bought my 12.2 at best buy about a week ago and no such promotion for free hardware.. From Samsung after registering, the best I got was $25 credit from playstore and $25 or $50 via samsung hub. The rest were service offers I cared less about and required credit card sign up.

Well, that is a great deal. I wonder why Singapore and not the u.s. I'm gonna call samsung and ask about it.
The S action mouse is the best one i've used on a android device!I used several ones before and sometimes the disconnected or i had to switch them on and off to make them work again,not with the samsung mouse!And the extra buttons for multiwindow and resent apps are great.I use it in combination with the samsung keyboard and that's no problem.

I have finally gotten to using the note pro with the keyboard and am using it to type this reply. I must say its fantastic. I don't have the S mouse but am definitely contemplating getting one. The screen size is about right. I'll have a strong feeling that I'll be leaving my notebook behind in my biz trips. The note pro is certainly a notebook replacement.

Agree. I have been using the note pro for more than a month now with the logetich keyboard and to be honest it is actually replacing my tablet needs. And with the mouse you will have more freedom with the device as well.

The S action mouse enables you to view the recent open apps, go to the home page (easier than hitting the central button of the tab), open Google search engine, and launch Svoice. It definitely enhances the laptop experience in my opinion, even if I'm still struggling with some really annoying issues with the NP 12.2 (virtual keyboard poping up when hitting the screen even when BT Logiteck keyboard is connected; and Hancom Office being everything but a Pro Office solution).

Under language settings set it to disable on screen keyboard when a bt one is connected. You should see it if you look with the logitech connected. If not download external keyvoard helper and that issue will vanish entirely. And hancom is as good as it gets so far. Its perfect for me I dont need anything it doesnt offer as I only do writing and a little excell. You ahould combine it with a remote pc app.
