I bought 100GB from Amazon and filled it with music (before the Gmusic beta) I use it all the time. In a year when thats up I may use Google instead. My biggest complaint with ACD is the lack of an iOS app, second is when i create a playlist in Android it doesnt carry over to the cloud.
What apps are optimized for the Nexus 7?
Looking through the Play Store and searching Nexus 7, many of the apps aren't optimized for this tablet.
I was hoping I could elicit your help and perhaps we could create a list here.
What no recommendations...?
What kinda apps are you looking for? Games, News app, note?
Any that are optimized for the Nexus 7.
When you get on the Play Store, most of the apps are designed for phones.
I think we need a good list of apps that are for the 7 inch form factor of the Nexus 7.
Astrid Tasks
DataSync
Google Drive
EverNote (not amazing, but decent)
Notes for ICS with Tasks sync
Apps are the key to the ultimate success of the Android OS and ultimately the Nexus 7.
Thanks for starting our list!
I'm hoping more of you will add your input.
Stock:
Google play books and magazines
Currents
Chrome is gorgeous
After:
Xda app - after running this for awhile, I realize that uses an inordinate amount of battery life. Nearly as much battery as google play music has used in 2 hours of playing music well just being a backrub after. Are there any fixes or is this a known issue?
Supergnes works great both portrait/landscape although I prefer nesoid and snesoid emulators..
Talkatone paired with Google voice
Camera launcher for nexus 7
Stickmount
Rotation locker ( long press choice, widget is broke)
Google earth and Sky map work great in 7"
Kindle app does *not* take advantage of all the real estate.. lots of screen wasted in 1 and 2 panel.

Nexus 7 optimized apps
Time to add more apps to this list!
Please post your recommendations.
Dead trigger
Drive
Giant little war game
Flip board ( perfect size to read)
Comic rack free ( walking dead comics all stored on Google drive)
Comixology
box (check them out often sometimes they give away 50gb sales. I got during one. )
Temple run is perfect on this beast.

Hi All,
How can we play facebook games on Nexus 4? These games require Adobe flash player 11.1 and now Adobe has discontinue its support to Android. You cant even get the flash player from Google Play Store
I'm a huge fan of Farmville and Criminal case and I cant play these games on Nexus 4 (at least till now).
I tried them on Opera, Chrome, UC and Firefox to no avail...
Is anyone able to play facebook games on this phone?
I could not find any threads related to this issue so creating this thread. Please post your experiences.
No.

Thanks for your reply. So isn't there any way to have the flash player working on Nexus 4?
You can get flash player on the Nexus 4. The issue is using flash to play those games since you can't even access those facebook games.
You can check if the developer of the Facebook games have made Apps for them on the play store
Here is the link to Flash for Jelly Bean on the Nexus 4:

Good luck
Surprisingly you can install adobe flash for ICS even on jellybean.
Have a look here to grab the latest flash version (link in the thread): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042464

Thanks! I installed in on my phone but to no avail. Let me check with Firefox....
i totally love songpop and draw something
You can't play those games on your phone. Please don't do that to such a nice device. Poor nexus.
Sorry I just hate Facebook games.
I'm sure its mainly a browser issue. Browser and flash have to be married in harmony for things to work right.

I installed and checked with Firefox beta. It's always redirecting to Farmville express (even if the check box for loading desktop version is checked) and for Criminal case it is showing that the game is loading but even after loading it 100% it is not going to actual game
Any suggestions?

It's not going to work buddy. Stop trying. No browser available in the play store will allow you to play Facebook games.

Not strictly true, I had Bejewelled Blitz playing on Firefox only yesterday but is was so slow it was unplayable. Even the daily spin took about 2 minutes. The game itself was like it was running in monthly instalments.
But it did run...

Has anyone found a good Facebook tablet app that looks nice on the Nexus 10? I'm fed up of Facebook giving us a disgusting upscaled phone app.

I use friendcaster but it doesn't have a polished look, it's just practical.
Most of the time I end up with the website version.
I'm wondering this too, the fb app is terrible on here
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Friendcaster is probably one of the better apps for Facebook.
Offers duel pane viewing, color change, etc
Basically it's tablet optimized unlike the official facebook app.

Flipboard does the job for all your social networks. Looks great on the large resolution.

Where's Friendster I can't find it, all I get is some gaming app when I search for it in Google play.

I use Flipboard also. I like that it is kind of a one stop shop for things I want to read. You have social networks, news sources, and the like. Plus the app is quite polished.
That's friendcaster not friendster

Just wanted to know what ya'll do on this awesome tablet.
I basically serf the web (forums, twitter, facebook etc.), play games, play some gba games using My Boy! emulator, watch movies/tv shows, read some books using Moon+ Reader, skpye, text with textplus, read some comics with ACV reader. I know, quite a bit of stuff lol
As an English major, lots of my classes have readings in PDF form. EZ PDF Reader has been a crucial app for me for school on my tf101. That will probably be my main use once school starts.

For YouTube and social apps when I'm too lazy to go to my living room and turn on my laptop.
But main purpose is to get latest android version and play with it.

I use mine mostly for watching shows (Netflix/hulu/crunchyroll) and browsing the web when I don't feel like firing up the PC.
Its also makes a great alarm clock, small external hard drive, calendar for work, and basic email checker for work for me. Heck, its almost replaced my laptop entirely.

Tapatalk, Reddit, YouTube, controlling Netflix on PS3, browsing, reading epubs, play movies/music via DLNA, Hangouts, Skype, play videos, DuoLingo (doing some of these through Miracast makes it even more cooler)
Guys there's already a thread started, the link above, that's absolutely the same thing. Why make another one and have two?

Mainly like having the latest version of Android. Also like the portability of a 7" tablet too. I've surprised myself by using this a lot more than my 10" Asus Infinity. Not just because it's new either, I prefer using a 7" tablet over a 10" for many things. Reading my magazine subscriptions are MUCH easier on my Infinity though, and I still prefer a lot of my games on my Infinity. I love that Google has made cloud storage available on a lot of games though. Makes jumping between devices MUCH easier!!
