Hope this list helps.... (and I took this from somewhere.....will share when on my pc...)

The entertainment apps listing really highlights my focus for whining...
netflix,
hulu plus
hbo go
should all be honeycomb ready
let's add skype with video chat that just dropped for all of 4 phones.
These services all seem like they should be no-brainers for the tablet market.
Really nice list, it's helpful to have them broken out by category. The market experience on honeycomb is pretty, but not necessarily useful.

What is funny is that you almost 100% copied (and made some additions) this post here on XDA as well. What is not funny is that well they provided a link (and credits) to the originators of this list, you didn't even provide a link to their post (let alone the originators of this list). What is even worse is that the person who posted this in the XOOM section (which I linked to earlier) only has 10 posts, and you have 226. Shame on you...

Recommended Apps?

I'm not too familiar with the Android OS. What are some recommended apps?

Depends on what you wanna do.
Music apps: Winamp, Spotify
Internet-related Apps: (irssi) ConnectBot, Firefox
Launcher: ADW, Go Launcher EX (launcher pro doesn't work)
If you tell me more about what you wanna do, I can answer more specifically

Honestly anything and everything.
BTW what's a good Video player app.

Cut the Rope, for one

The default video player in the hacked gingerbread roms worked the best for me, but doesn't work here yet.
Mobo player seems to be the preference, but I despise it and have yet to find anything else decent.
Whats so hard about sorting stuff alphabetically or by date? I have no idea wtf it is sorting as.
Then asked which folder has your videos, and you have to actually hit a refresh button for it to find new stuff. And then goes and shows you crap not even in that folder...

I use rockplayer. It was the first one I could find that would play xvid files. I haven't tried any others, but I don't have any complaints about it.

Rockplayer is good for videos. I sideloaded it on my KF.
ES File explorer (in Amazon market) will allow you to navigate the file structure (good for finding anything you download)
Hulu + (in Amazon market) if you have a hulu plus account.
Netflix (in Amazon market) if you have a netflix account.

Pulse is great for news.

Apps I use -
Grocery IQ (my girl and I can share a shopping list, her on a iphone and me on my droid charge and kindle fire), Google Reader (rss reader), Google Listen (podcast listener), Wordfued (so addicted to this scrabble knock-off), DropBox (for moving files to the 'cloud' and between devices and computers)

I have found the following to work great on my stock (un-Rooted) Kindle Fire.
- MX Video Player 1.4b (sideloaded), plays AVI, WMV, Etc. perfectly!
- Go Launcher EX (Amazon Store), Must Have!
- Battery monitor Widget 1.9.9 (sideloaded) - great for see power use
- File Manager (Amazon Store) -
- Express News
- Sense Analog Clock 3.2.3 (sideloaded)
Found many of the apps at androiddev.orkitra.com

Add to the list:
Dropbox
Titanbackup Pro
OTA RootKeeper
Root Explorer
Delete all contacts

I installed (among others):
Opera Mobile (a much faster browser alternative to the stock browser)
Audiogalaxy (allows me to stream my itunes collection to the Fire)
Gemini App Manager (quickly clears cache)
Wiki Encyclopedia
Youtube for Android
TuneIn Radio
Box.net
US Newspapers

Always look at the free app of the day, today was documents to go! I enjoy Cube Runner 3D (free), Netflix, and tubemate (have to sideload, they're not on either market currently) as it can download 1080p youtube videos straight to your device.

Video Widget

Does any one know of a good looking video widget like this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34335039) that shows videos stored on the device i think it would look really good and havent been able to find anything like this .
Any other good looking video widgets would be much appreciated.
Thank You

I believe that the widget displayed in the link is from MovieBrowser UPnP/DLNA and is titled "MovieBrowser Carousel". Note that only the paid version has the widgets included "THIS IS THE PAID VERSION WITH UPnP/DLNA, SAMBA AND WIDGETS". I have this app and use those widgets. I also like the widget "MovieBrowser Next Episode" which analyses your collection for TV shows and displays upcoming episodes in a scrollable list. It is useful and attractive.
Another app that has both TV and Movie widgets similar to the app I mentioned above is Mizuu. I was using a beta verison so cannot remember if the widgets are resticted to the paid version. The beta version is months old and was supposed to work better on tablets. I suspect that beta is over and has been released by now.
Last is the native Google media widget that comes preinstalled with the Nexus 10. I do not use Googles media services so removed those apps.
I no longer use either of the for mentioned apps (just the TV episode widget), as my collection is too big for one and/or the update time is way to long to use for video playback. I do use an alpha XBMC with video HW acceleration but it does not have any widgets and being alpha occassionaly crashes during playback. It can easily handle my full video collection and has reasonable update times when started.

Wow... No one even decided to say that they've used up all the codes (-_-)...
Anyways, I tried your free version on my Nexus 5 and it works pretty well! It does drain the battery a lot more than I thought it would though.

Anything with a 3d environment background is a drain on the phone battery (overheats it too)
I personally use vr players with no background or 3d surroundings. All you need is the video screen.

Hello sir,Expried codes..please share new...

Did you make this with Unity3d?
If so, could you add this https://github.com/m-tukiok/UnityPluginDisplay4k to it, please? Even if you have to make it into a different version of the app.
I'm willing to pay for the pro version and make a donation if you do!
I'd love to have a native 4k VR player for my XZp that doesn't require messing with adb.

VU showing video that is mismatched positionally on right and left eye
hey fam.i am using a tecno camon cx air and i am having an issue in that the video on the right is not exactly the same in positioning/mismatch as the video on the other eye causing some blur and uncomfy viewing experience.what can i do?i am using VU pro latest versionconfused:
check out my twitter @Kay_e_veemusic i will show you a screenshot of my screen, i can't post a link here since i am new..will appreciate your help

It's a shame the codes are expired this deserves five stars for sure! I have a couple of feature requests:
Please add the ability to play network videos! It is essential that I can launch videos to VU Cinema from a file manager (total commander in this case) the same as any other video player. It would also be nice to be able to browse network videos from within the app.
Bluetooth controls need to be refined. Please add the ability to either map the controller or add basic seek and volume controls to the D pad. Sometimes it is easier to tap forward a couple times to relocate my place in a movie than try to navigate the very inaccurate seat bar. The only app I have seen tackle VR controls well (and I've tried them all) is VR Theater by coach games. If you were to merge the graphics from VR Cinema with similar gamepad controls to VR theater it would be the perfect app!!!
Please continue development it's really great! ?
[Just purchased, well worth it]

On one plus 5, After the update 5.0.4 it has stopped working.video screen is blank while pictures can be seen.kindly help on it.
