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.

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 heard people complaining about lag on the newer 10.1 2014 vs the old note 10.1 2012. Is the lag really THAT bad? Or is it just a new device?
What lag?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Was afraid too, but seriously there is no lag if your are not finicial. Didn't lag more than other android, even better.

I have mine rooted with custom rom and it flies, even right out the box there was no lag but with the megablast rom it goes fast.
I've had some issue's with lagging at certain times. I use my tablet a lot but I'm on my 4th tablet in the last two years and this ones been the laggeist. I have not had time to narrow it down but I run out of ram pretty quick. With that said the tablet performs great and I have no other complaint. I guess root & rom is my next step cause this tablet is a keeper.

Heres a link to my thread to show you a video of what your missing. No lag or anything works perfect. All links to rom ect in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642292
All the Samsung bloat could be an issue for some, but using Nova launcher cuts most of that out.
Even so there is no lag in games, apps or videos... Its among the best Android tablets available.
Yes this Tablet is horrible...lag is so bad..Go buy a IPad they are so fast and you can customise it!....Oh wait You can't do that. LOL.....
No lag here ...TABLET IS AWESOME.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Nova Launcher and a couple of seconds from sleep mode to screen on is the only "significant kind of lag" I have noticed, which barely affects my wonderful experience and opinion about this tablet. I do not regret this purchase given the massive personal and proffesional use I put it through on a daily basis with outstanding performance, non to mention the pleasant screen and stereo sound multimedia experience.
I am actually running the MJ6 firmware (pretty old) and I hope Samsung will release the 4.4 MX UI update short after the new Pro series arrival. The 4.4 kitkat firmware has enhanced the Note 3 in many aspects (battery life and smoothness among others) so I have high expectations for the Note 10.1 2014. We'll see
iiSo say we all!! from my SM-P600
no lag here, dude.. just stutter sometimes...
Using LTE version here. Install apex launcher, turn off all the smart screen options and this tablet flies.

THERE IS NO LAG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Tab is amazing. The ONLY lag is the STUPID and USELESS Samsung TouchWiz idiotic launcher. Root the tab, install for Nova under system apps, make it default launcher, reboot and obliterate TouchWiz. DOne. No more lag ever.
It's always the issue with Android tablets that they'll be lagging more then apple pads. Although I'm happy with the Note 10.1 less till no lag a at all. I wasn't sure how it will be before I bought. I'm coming from LG-GPAD and trust me that one DOES lag as hell.

More ram is used, faster your tablet is. You cannot run out of ram, OS manages it for you.
No lag here, rooted, sslauncher.

Ohh thanks, guess I will be downloading Nova Launcher! Doesn't need root right?
Also, which ones are bloatware from Samsung and are they deleteable?

Don't need to be rooted to have nova launcher and as for bloatware go into settings and apps and you can disable most things you don't use and the stuff from Samsung normally begin with s as silly as it sounds you will find them

Never had a problem on my note with chrome its always been smooth. try going into your app draw holding the chrome icon till you see app info at the top drag the icon to that then clear data. If that doesn't sort it try these changers posted here http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/293533-how-speed-up-mobile-chrome-browser.html that should do the trick not that I've done either but I know they work as I used them on my moto g and now chrome fly's

No lag here. Have had my 32gb since Friday. I use Nova, but used Wiz for two days. Neither UI lags, but I prefer Nova due to features. No comparison, IMO.
Mine is not rooted and I do not see the need to root with this device.
I´ve made this thread so people can discuss here about the 3 tablets:
8.4, 10.1 and 12.2 !
Which apps are u using on your Galaxy Tab Pro?
Which launcher are u using?
Or do you want to share something?
I´ll start :
I buyed my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WIFI last week and i love the device because it´s so cheap !
It works like a charm !
Only the annoying noise is annoying
But i move my mind over it
I´m using the following launchers recently:
Modified Stock Launcher
SPB Launcher ( 10,45$ )
Google Now Launcher
I just love the stock launcher the most, i have a modified one so it´s fast enough
If you want something else and you have money then i recommend buying SPB Launcher
SPB is old but gold, it is a really famous launcher a couple of years ago.
But i installed it on my 8.4 and it's not perfect for tablets you can better go with modified stock launcher or Google Now Launcher .
SPB is well the beautifulst launcher for phones .
I was using Google Now launcher on my 8.4 because i thought it was better for battery but i feel more connected with the tablet while using stock launcher so i searched for a faster one and i found the modified one in the 8.4 apps section here on XDA !
Then i had to find a way to make my battery better so i tried a combination of greenify and wanam exposed
In greenify i greenified all the apps except tapatalk and i applied boost mode and some other little settings and in wanam exposed have i enabled benchmarking boost that is originally for antutu benchmarking test but it makes your device a beast and in combination with greenify will it not affect your battery
Now i will also going to flash that beast mode kernel to make it even more a beast
Cheers!
And now it´s your turn!
Got a tab 8.4 wifi for almost a month. Rooted and installed lite pRom with beast kernel. Using google now launcher. Been using it mostly for gaming(brave frontier and coc) and checking mails. I really like this tab except that wifi drops if you hold it in the lower left corner. Sucks to be right handed.

I'm also right handed but i have no problems with wifi drops at lower left corner like everyone else has.
My 8.4 is randommly dropping wifi and even disconnects here
But i love this tablet anyway
Sent from my beastly SM-T320
Yup, the tab pro is cheap but the hw is powerful.
The wifi behaved just as described but not 'disconnecting'.
I am still using the stock launcher with quite a number of unwanted apps being frozen..including the magazine. I'm quite satisfied with the speed now.
I had install the nova and it's good for phone but I felt the stock launcher could be more appropriated for a tablet.
Just want to know why the spb ?

who uses the stock Magazine UX launcher on their Tab Pro? Do you use the tile widgets to access information? I'm not a fan of Magazine UX, but I don't hate either. I want to see if I'll get used to it, or learn to like it. I see alot of negative comments, but zero positive ones. I figure if I wanted an AOSP style device, I should've got an AOSP device. My previous tablet was a Nexus 7 (2013). I own a 2012 N7 and used to own a N4, plus I used AOSP ROMs on my S4 before. I think AOSP is too plain/boring. Magazine UX is cumbersome, but it's different. I'm rambling. My question is: Do you use the Magazine UX and how do you use it?
Got my tab pro 8.4 a mont ago and since them I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 with nova laucher.
I really hate touch wiz and samsung android modifications, so I bought just to use cyanogenmod

Good choice bro, i'm also using this ( CM11 ) now for enjoying Theme engine.
Themes are really beautiful on the 8.4 !
I highly recommend Nova or Apex when you're using icons and Google Now Launcher when you're don't using custom icons

I really like the stock launcher but i've switched tot cyanogenmod because of the thousands of beautiful themes available .
In the Magazine UX, once I add various sections, do I need to refresh them constantly, or do they update with new content like it does with HTC Blink?
My tablet hasn't arrived yet (12.2 Pro) so I'm getting ready for it, to me it seems all the content in launcher would be nice, if it works correctly. What are some other tips you guys can offer?

I was watching a review from the Galaxy Note 4 and i saw the "Dynamic Lockscreen"..
Just wondering if this can be ported to the S5 (most likeley soon or later) or maybe there is an similair app for this effect?
In the video below you can see what it looks like.

Probably will happen when the device comes out to more areas and a system dump is uploaded :S

Samsung devices support Live Wallpaper on lockscreen. So, just install live wallpaper with similar effect. I believe there are such LW in Google play.
Hi,
what launcher are you using? I have moved back to nova. Anyone like to share their as well.
To be honest I'll probably stay on stock for just a bit, then on to action or nova.. Right now I'm just stock with apps bar running, and this thing is snappy! There are a few things I miss, but really apps bar makes up for a lot.
