Why phone designed apps are awesome for Xoom

THE ADS ARE SOOO SMALL!!! XD
I love it's especially on the xda app, its in the bottom left hand corner, and is barely noticable.
Someone should start a thread on good apps that work on the Xoom, or start it here, I personally would but I'm new to android, which is why I would like to know some good apps. I mostly operate off 3g connection, which is why I don't want to try the download and try and delete method.
3 gigs 35 dollar $-$ wtf.
Ill start with what I have downloaded that's not a tablet app and works fine.
-Xda (obviously)
-Astro file manager
-skype (I read somewhere that they were going to make a tablet specific version for a fee)
-Dr Webb for android
That's all really.
Two that I dl'd that didn't work were vevo and pocketcloud
Vevo didn't play videos at all but I haven't tried on wifi yet.
Pocketcloud worked like it should with massive lag even on wifi, might just be cause its a free app, I dont know, like I mentioned thus is my first android device. And I must say, it wins.
Anyway, please help me find great apps and ill return the favor.
One awesome one for tablets is PewPew

Lol, I hadn't noticed the ad until you mentioned it. Just loaded xda on my xoom.

yeah i love that. but im sure they will change it and have ads take up more space.

Pay for the premium XDA app. Support the community and it's only $0.99 . I paid for it and I love the XDA theme and being able to set the app up the way I want it.

My xda app crashes all the time. At first I thought it was my rooted evo, but it does the same thing at the same place on the xoom. Hard to pay for something that keeps fc'ing.

If a tablet version is made, I will definitely buy the app. There are a lot of features I'd like to take advantage off that's not in the free app. But the free app does freeze a lot, right now I'm not even able to get into it because it's been stuck at the XDA loading screen. I can't seem to get it past that.
And I know they're going to make tablet apps with Huge ads, thats why phone apps are better
Hopefully they do make a tablet app for XDA tho, I'll even pay $2 if it has most the features of the site.

When they take out the unneeded permissions (GPS, phone identity) I will. Till then I use the web browser.

Go to manage applications in settings and reset the cache for the XDA App and it should fix the problem.

How to get my imstagram app up in the rankings

Hi everyone. I have just published an app to the playstore. What it does is that you sign In with you instagram account pick a photo then I put it on a T-shirt and deliver it to the customer.
Problem is that when you type in instagram in the search my app is quite far down the list so therefore quite hard to see.
I've tried different keywords changing the title, description and even category but none of them seem to be moving it further up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe try uploading to this website in the appropriate section of course. I'd put it on at least a few more websites like App brain. You could also put a video on YouTube on how to use the app even if it's very simple. Things like his could get your app to used by more people. This is just an idea as I've never developed an application but it's worth a try I guess. Good luck!

need an app for tasks with days counter

i'm looking for an app where i can display a list of tasks and beside it, it would list the number of days since i have last done it. For example, oil change 183 days ago or 20 days since i last paid my credit card. and if i click on it, it would reset the timer to 0 days. is there such an app?

I'm sure there is something similar, but I have not seen it.
And I like the app idea. :good:

Well as it just happens, I'm building an app that might do for you.
In case if you're interested, you can check the build version and give feedback. Knowing that i'll have someone who'll use it in advance will motivate me to publish it quicker.
This version works quite well, tested on Galaxy S2 and S4, help and about sections are still missing, also some UI tweaks and you might step on occasional bug, but so far it works for me very well.
EDIT: removed old links, since the application in question from my side has been published officially:
it's available on google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...sapps.ncounter
also, xda thread is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661195

Sorry I havent checked back. Wow thats exactly what I'm looking for so far. I'll have to try it out for a bit first but it seems to be quite customizable. Only thing I can think of atm is allowing a task to change background color if a certain amount of time is reached. Say after 25 days if I still havent paid my bill, it turns yellow

I stumbled upon this app the other day it would probably help you. It's called Quixey, it's basically a search engine for apps that works off natural language descriptions. Describe what you want and it lists the most relevant result. It actually works pretty well.

Heres a list of apps that i have tested and do work on the z-watch...some with screen issues, but are totally functional.

small footprint apk mgr, airdroid, and a few others that are functional on the watch.

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

U may extract it from official firmware (update.zip) with any archiver.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99¢ is hard to find due to the holidays.

any calculator apps that work? Just got one of these for Christmas and I'm ready to tinker haha. Does anyone know if apps for the SW will work on here?

My first advice would be look into Android L Design
secondly not exactly understanding what you mean by you want the app to act as a wedding info plus an invitation for your sisters wedding. mind elaborating a bit more?
Like are you trying to invite people from the app?
Or are you sending the app to people?
As for info on the app I am assuming your trying to make the app like an invitation I think? Not exactly sure what your asking so clear the question up a bit and ill try to help ya out.

Hi...sorry for late reply .I will send the app to people.The app will give all info regarding bride and groom.. venue..some background music.and should contain the facility as the app user can send text msg to couple and can send his wishes using pic which can be clicked by camera.and when he press the submit button the msg should deliver to google drive or something.I am not familiar here..can you please guide me???
