Hey guys, a new tab 10.1 owner here

Hey guys,
I thought I'd drop by and say hi to everyone, you'll be seeing me here more often - just picked up my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G from the store - totally loving it. I used to own the Galaxy Tab 7" previously, I sold that for this.
Still snooping around, initial impressions are great !
Any recommendations or any particular threads or apps that I must see to love my tab more? just drop the links here I'll check 'em out.
Once again, Great to know you'll
Cheers
Jackie

here's a tip for you;
When I got my 10.1 (day after launch) I was at first disappointed at the "lack of apps" for it but that disappointment was unfounded BECAUSE, I should NOT look for tablet specific apps which is unimportant....just look for apps because they don't have to be "tablet specific" to work, work well and look great on your device.
I now have more apps than I have space (16GB)
enjoy your 10.1

Thanks a lot Jon,
To be honest, I've been lurking around in this forum for quite some time now, I've understood that most apps are actually optimized for honeycomb just that they don't mention it !
Lack of apps is of least concerns to me, apps for honeycomb keep growing, I also feel they'll be loads of new apps in the coming months !
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome !
Cheers

Welcome. There are many apps out, but these are some of my favorites.
Thumb Keyboard. Makes typing a breeze. I also like the new text shortcuts button. Great for entering common words and phrases.
ADW Launcher EX. Faster than the Honeycomb Launcher. I really like the bottom dock as well.
Screen Off and Lock. I have it on the bottom dock of my home screen. Don't have to use the power button all the time.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

are there any apps that are wanted?
i'm a developer who recently got a 10.1 and would like to know what kind of apps there are demand for for honeycomb optimization

Would love, love, love a sports live scores app. Especially baseball. Right now the only ones out there are phone versions which only work in portrait mode and the text is teeny tiny. Can't wait for MLB At Bat to get tablet-ized (hoping it does anyway!). The only tablet version apps I really miss are some of the biggies like Yelp and TripAdvisor.

Welcome. I will second the thumb keyboard (life saver) and the adw ex launcher. Many forums here will help you set it up.
I would also like to suggest the following.
Multipicture Live Wallpaper- honeycomb crops wallpaper horribly, this fixes that and you can have more than one wallpaper.
Some good Widgets are wizz widgets, android pro widgets, HD Widgets, desktop vizualizer, folder organizer lite, and minimilistic text (although have fun- I needed you tube videos for this one.
As for apps I like- pulse for greader, xda premium, dropbox, folder organizer hd, Pandora, tune in radio and Netflix. (Which you have to side load-again other forums for those directions)
Have fun with it and kiss time goodbye due to customizing.

As far as games go, I am addicted to the labyrinth games. My fave is Atilt 3D Labyrinth (by Fridgecat). There is a free version for it. Also, there is a similar game called Labyrinth (by Illusion Labs) and a free version called Labyrinth lite.

Great - I love games, I'll check them out - thanks
P.S. Should I root my tablet now? any particular plus point in doing so - I am quite familiar with rooting, all my other Android devices are rooted. Just curious how it helps in Honeycomb.

Root would be good for using a ps3 controller for MAME / Genesis / Snes roms (which mostly work like a dream - check out jrioni arcade and gensoid etc.) I haven't done this yet but its getting more and more tempting.
Re ADW: does it run as fast as touchwiz? I was put off by reviews saying it was laggy... cheers
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Adw ex runs on top of touchwiz. You don't get rid of touchwiz. Its as simple as an app. You don't like it, uninstall it. I believe all the launchers have a lite version so you can check it out to see if you like it. Mostly you pay so you can resize Widgets and icons and download themes. Adw ex and launcher pro are the two that I have tried, Alot less lag, almost none at all. Wish Google would try one out so they could improve stock.

I highly recommend Plume for a twitter app. Looks and works amazing on the Tab.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Must have apps..
I just sold my iPad as well.
My must have apps include:
Reader HD (for feeds)
MX Video Player
FriendCaster (facebook)
Official Twitter App for twitter
Album Art Grabber (fast and accurate)
Tabr Widget (with Agenda and Social modules)
Google Goggles
Google Earth
Deerhunter HD (seriously awesome)

tinyshark is good for music.

I recommend TouchDown for corporate exchange access.

go to http://www.tablified.com/for list of honeycomb apps

There's also tweetcaster HD that's currently in beta now. I use it and like it a lot for tweeting.

Plume is great for twitter, and the widget is awesome

some of my must have apps ...
news360
circle launcher
dolphin browser HD
Skyfire browser (if you watch any non-flash videos)--hulu still doesnt work though
dropbox
logmein (not cheap so only get it if you're gonna use it alot)
plex
google music
seekdroid (just in case you leave it somewhere) -- I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on the stock rom, but definitely works with in paris.
hide it pro (if there's ever any prying eyes)
wolfram alpha (if your doing any math related work its epic)
tablet keyboard
there's other area specific apps that would be useful but you probably wouldn't use em
idk what root apps you have so i'll just list em all ...
blade buddy (extended version of spare parts+) -- same developer.
voltage control (its a more advanced version of setcpu basically)
nitrality
battery calibration (if you have battery troubles ever)
root explorer (one of the best)
sentinel 3 (if you like tower defense games its the best)
hopefully that helped

The tablet and phone versions have now been consolidated into one "TweetCaster" app (same goes with FriendCaster). Unless you're a power twitter user who needs several separate lists I recommend TweetCaster over the other twitter clients. To me it is by far the most aesthetically pleasing.
I'll also recommend FriendCaster for Facebook. I used FriendMe for a while but I've found I prefer the former.
I won't repeat what others have said here, but I prefer File Manager HD for file explorer duties.
Other apps I use regularly are Reddita for Reddit browsing, DGT-GTD for my ToDo list (toodledo sync. It's just a stretched out phone version, but it still looks great on the tab), and IMDb looks excellent on Honeycomb.

Rooting apps or apps in general? Here are a few straight out of my head:
Nova Launcher Prime - absolutely the best launcher I ever used. It has everything, a bucketload of features (even more in the Prime version), blazing speed, a great user community, and one of the most hardworking devs I've ever encountered (beta versions come out almost daily).
Tapatalk - if you use forums, very handy app, makes forums work like a charm on the phone (typing from it as we speak)
Root Explorer - though there are free root explorers out there, I find Root Explorer to be the most stable and it just works every time.
Titanium Backup - a must have if you flash ROMs and change bases often, this app can be of invaluable help.
Mobile ODIN - the same as Titanium, allows you to flash stuff without the need for a PC.
Tune In Radio Pro - the free version is great, but the Pro has no ads.
WeatherPro - pretty reliable forecast app (but with horribly ugly widgets though).
If you like music and listen to it a lot, consider some song-spotting apps like Soundhound or Shazam Encore. Also, if the stock player is not up to your everyday needs, check out PlayerPro and PowerAMP.
That's all I have for now. I would also recommend Smart Remote, but it's a bit out from the other apps' league because of its price (10$).

i love all the apps you recommend me there is so much tapatalk don't know what one to get and i don't know how to use titanium backup

Best apps I have found worthy of buying is power amp (using it since 1st official release) and tiny call confirm+.
I've also bought some others, stop 3 data roaming (3 is now shut down so app is now obsolete) & 2d pool.

Also should mention, the best voice dialer is voice speed dial by cyberon, the reason is, is you use your own voice for voice tags for contacts rather than rely on speech recognition that 1. Uses internet data and 2. Doesn't work most of the time.

App recommendations?

Hi All,
Many of you are coming from the likes of the Note 2 (or even the original Note) but I'm sure there's plenty like me that are new to the phablet scene and definitely new to the S-Pen scene. So it seems appropriate to start a thread asking people - what apps do you recommend to use with your shiny new device? Going beyond the usual recommended android apps, what ones do you feel really make use of the Note's features (such as the pen, or the massive screen or whatever).
Please, suggest away!

handy note and handy scanner dude

I would of said sketchbook, however they have nicely included that with the device now! It's a brilliant app for getting your artist on!
I'd also suggest emulators for games as the big screen is certainly easier than the smaller devices out there! Drastic DS emulator has arrived on the play store recently.. It's abut £5 but imo worth its price tag, it allows you to play Nintendo DS games (Roms) really fluid and of course with the s-pen!! ! If you was a fan of the old Zelda games etc this gives you a change to play catch ups wit the latest outings of Link.
Netflix
SwiftKey - Brilliant keyboard replacement that I feel that corrects a lot more reliable than stock.
Spotify - Free 48 Hour trial of millions of music tracks (You can keep creating a trial account, in theory not actually pay.. But you'll end up in love with your play list you've mashed together and just pay the sub (what happened to me).
Go Sms pro - again a nicer more configurable Sms /mms replacement of stock app. Also includes a go Sms to go Sms feature where you can send pics, doodles, recordings, videos to anyone with gosms installed for free.
If you live in the UK *** 0800 wizard. Allows you to dial 0800/0844 numbers using your network minutes.
Order and chaos - MMO game, works really well with the big screen and adreno 330... Similar to world of war craft.
Es file Explorer - allows you to browse the memory on your phone/SD card memory a lot easier.
Be great if people added their favourite apps into this thread... Nothing beats a good app download session

Drastic is an amazing DS emulator. Has fast forward feature for all you poké masters.
I second SwiftKey as well.
Firefox works nicely. Can download add-ons like adblock.
I prefer nova launcher and Hd widgets
