I'd like sabnzbd for android, that way it could download straight to the device and repair/extract after the download finishes

GetNZB (from the Market) allows you to download nzbs from nzb.org and upload to an FTP server. I use it for uploading nzbs to my NAS which polls for nzbs in a specific folder then starts downloading.

I've got sabnzbd working on my xoom. I installed ubuntu using the guide on this forum (in android developments) once it was working a quick "apt-get sabnzbdplus"gets it installed. Then edit the /etc/default/sabnzbdlus to set the user as root.
Once its running connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 and it'll bring up the wizard.
Tada. ;-)
You can install transmisson this way as well with a quick "apt-get install transmisson-daemon" then connect to 127.0.0.1:9091

The only one I know of is NewzDroid.

EZ Usenet guys. It is for Easynews if you have an account and you can download directly to your Xoom or android device. Works great...free version has 15 days of news and paid is of course more days..

The option is in the settings of the Market app.

Thanx
A bit weird though. A couple of days ago they let me download smart office 2. Which I did. Now they only offer smart office 1 and Polaris.
It pays off to watch all Samsung offers closely and regularly. They sometimes make games and apps available for a couple of hours. Most is crap but some are gems.
Thanx for the heads up

where's more service?

I'm not satisfied with po4 because it can't edit files on my gdrive. It open in read only. Other suite can edit this. Doc files.
Do you noticed it?

Check it's not opening with Polaris viewer. perhaps u need to clear defaults on viewer app.

No I don't have a default app for. Doc. I choose time to time.
Try this: upload a .Doc file on your gdrive and then try to open it directly in gdrive app: if you do that with polaris (not viewer) it say "read only" and you can't edit files. With office suite pro in can do that!
Can you verify this behavior of your phone with polaris 4.0?
Thank you

I use kingsoft office. Is this polaris a better option for the galaxy s3?

Kingsoft vs Polaris

Why not download it and give it a try, it is free after all. It seems pretty comprehensive to me, but like all apps of this type on a phone, it's only really useful for small edits (unless you have your phone linked to an HD display and are using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
Still waiting for my MHL cable, so will give it a try then with the set up mentioned above and report back here (if I can remember...lol)

the version that came with LFb is higher than that is available on "more services"

When did this happen? Play Store, Remove app from list option!

Sweet ! Also for you ladies and gents that don't know they brought it back But looks like it's only from within the device Play Store App, just touch the little circle with the line through it and its gone from your list of apps!
Removed 50 delinquent app's or so from mine!
Sorry if this is recent common knowledge I just was asking awhile ago and was told that this doesn't exist!

What are you talking about?

I'm guessing clicking "remove" will remove that app from whatever device it's on??

No! click that option and it never shows up in your Play Store history again, unless you install it again.
Each time you install an app or install a custom ROM with the ROM creators apps of choice it adds those apps to your play store list of app's! and they don't go away, and if you change ROMs and or try an app your list grows and grows whether you use the app or not it was always there in your list now you can clean those unused apps or unwanted apps out of your list so if you try a lot of ROMs you don't have to weed through all those app's!
I have 12 App's that I install and use, but 50 that I've tried and came on ROMs that I've tried now I have only 12 app's in my Play Store app history instead of 62 apps!

It is a list of apps that you have or had installed, so when you start from a new rom or a full wipe you can go to play store and look at the list to see which app you had installed earlier

Sweet! I already was wondering what to do with the large amount of garbage of previously tested and disgarded apps I would not like to be reminded of again... This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for telling this. +1 Thanks from me!

I know what it is and can be useful for but when I have to look at all the free versions of stuff iv'e tried then purchased the full app for example XDA-Developers free app and XDA Premium oh great now I got to buy XDA PremiumHD.....lol, all in my list but I only want 1, now I do!

I wasn't aware of this functionality until this thread, so thanks! Now I have removed all those 'old' and 'trial' installs cluttering up my installed list!

I didn't even know you could install Whatsapp on a tablet. I thought you needed a phone number for that?

The phone number doesn't have to be on the device as long as you confirm it.

the stock video player and bs player both float.

If not launcher, what theme and icon set? That is a very sweet looking screen shot that some ipad owners I know would cringe to see on my Note!

Install whatsapp From their site. Use a different phone number then the one on your mobile phone ( don't have to be a mobile number )then confirm it with a Sms or if you don't use a mobile number they will call you for the confirmation code .Confirm it and your good to go!!!
I am using nova launcher with some icons i collected over the years.Here is a dropbox link: https://db.tt/nNdy71J2

Can anyone who has downloaded this put up a mirror? Dropbox is still not allowing transfers of the file due to too much bandwidth blah blah blah.

Here you go.
