Get a file manager app first, such as Astro. If you use Astro, check mark under preferences, "enable all file types under browser."
NOTE: You have to move away from the mentality of using the browser for most activities. Android phones, like Iphones, are centered around apps. and not the web browser.

Create an app which contains mobile website?

Hi, is it possible to create a app that will just contain a link to mobile website (bookmark of some sort but an actual app). So when users click on the app on their devices they are taken directly to my mobile website. I know there is google app inventor but I couldn't find tutorial on how to do that. Any idea?

Yes, an app can either launch a url which will open in the phones browser or you can put a webview(browser) inside the App.

do you know if I can find a tutorial on how to do that? How do I make custom app icon and so on?

The icons you need to make in a graphics program and output them in the required sizes, go to the official android dev site there are photoshop templates and everything.

Its not that had to do with app inventor. There are two ways. One which will launch the defualt browser to the site (easy) or one which will create a webview inside the app using a third party app (hard). I made a youtube video on how to do it the browser way a while back. It takes about 5 min. Then another 10min if you want to put it on the market. Both vies can be found on youtube by searching cmoney12051

[Q] unable to access xda developers from GNote and other issues

I got 2 main issues:
1) I cannot access XDA developers from my note, regardless of the browser I use.
2) I suddenly noticed that a large number of photos that I never uploaded or synced appeared on my GNote. I suspect they were downloaded either from Google+ or Picassa, I'm not sure.
a) How can I ensure I don't download automatically from any apps that I install?
b) How do I get rid of the files? This is more complicated because they appear in my Gallery under "Instant upload", but I cannot find that folder anywhere on my GNote (mind you, I don't have a file browser that allows me to do a search)
c) why can I not delete images via the my gallery app? sounds kinda moronic to me. a gallery app should have a 'delete function, in fact I consider it a mandatory function...
Any suggestions?

You need to check couple things first settings accounts Google untick photos picasso

Try using xda in market place

Given the strange behaviour of your browser downloading an anti virus software and performing a scan would no be wrong.

[Q] quickoffice shortcut?

Has anyone worked out how to create a shortcut either on the desktop or in the app drawer to the "hidden" Quickoffice HD preinstalled on the nexus 10?
Would be handy to have this!

I believe the version of Quickoffice that's buried in the ROM is a lite version that it's only for viewing files. To use it just open an MSOffice document in a file browser or email attachment.
