I don't like and don't use the stock music, video and web apps on the KF. I would instead like to (let's say) replace the stock music shortcut with the android music player, the stock video shortcut with Youtube, and the web launcher with Dolphin.
Is this possible somehow? I have uninstalled the 3 mentioned apps using TB, but obviously when I go to the links in the launcher it says that the app is not found and doesn't let me choose an alternate app.
Anyway I can achieve this? I am running MoDaCo.
Hi all,
I'm looking forward to get my Tab 7.7 16Gt 3G/Wi-Fi and I like to get some app recommendations, free or non-free.
It will be mostly used while travelling so apps should work without Internet connection and in flight mode.
So far my list has:
- Kindle for Android
- Astro File Manager
- Sygic GPS or NAVIGON for Android
I want to:
- View photos
- Watch movies
- View PDF documents
- View/edit Word 2010 documents
- Play some games
As noted they have to be usable in flight mode.
Other must have apps ?
TIA

Some MUST HAVE apps for the Samsung 7.7:
The stock Gallery is good enough to view photos. File Expert is also an option.
VPlayer, MX Player, Dice Player can play almost any media files you throw at it including mkv files.
Polaris Office is an inbuild app to view or edit Word documents. You can get 3rd party apps like Quick Office Pro and Office Suite too.
For PDF: EzPDF, Repligo
Games: Angry bird is everyone's favorite, esp angry bird space. Pool 3D pro, Shadowgun, card games like solitaire.
Must have apps if your Phone is rooted:
Titanium Backup pro
Root Explorer
Superuser
Busybox
Ditch the Stock touchwiz launcher and install ADW launcher EX
^ agreed. Touchwiz sux.
You may also want to invest in a quality SD card (if you haven't already). Depending on video quality(Mbps)...expect about 300 min worth of movie storage or 500 min of music @ 13mbps. You can store more than this but you will degrade quality with lower transfer rates.
If you do decide to root your device, you can also save on precious battery life by adding a battery managment app like JuiceDefender.
I would recommend you to perform the following first before everything else:
1. Get root
2. Install GO Launcher HD (Beta) and make it as default
Some would recommend ADW Launcher EX, but I found GO Launcher HD (Not the EX one) more responsive with less memory footprint. You may compare before decide.
When placing the "Play - My Library" widget on the homescreen, a prompt usually then gives you the choice between five options: My Library, My Books, My Magazines, My Music, and My Movies & TV Shows.
However, since leaving the US, the latter four options have disappeared on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, leaving only My Library. This is unfortunate because I previously used the 2x2 My Music widget (displaying a single album cover art) as a shortcut to the Google Play Music since both the player widget and app icon are so damn ugly.
I cleared the Google Services Framework, disabled Location Access, and restarted the device in Airplane Mode, but it insisted on connecting to a network prior to placing the widget.
I wonder if using a VPN would work but is there any other way? I don't feel like paying a subscription just to place a simple widget.
I'm fairly new to this, but I've run through Fire toolbox (it's amazing!) and installed Nova launcher. But I'm not sure how (or if it's possible) to do a couple things.
My tablet is mounted to the wall in my bathroom.
I'd like it to display time/temp/weather all the time except when I'm playing music. I use the Alexa voice commands to play my music (either from Plex or Amazon music) and it works great. But after listening to music, I'd like the tablet to return to displaying just the time/temp/weather widget.
I have the latest firmware (.23?). I am using the Weather widget from one of the weather apps (I forget which one), but I'd be happy to use any widget or way to display the info.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try to use Kustom Widget (KWGT) app from Google Play Store or APK.

Hello everyone!
I'm struggling with LiveTV apps on my tvs.
Those apps does't have user friendly menus and facourites pages etc.
Can you guys share (may be with pictures) yor Android TV make, model, and TV tuner app, please?
I can say that Phillips LiveTV app justa scan and put all channels in 1 list, you have favourites list, which you access by, pressing OK>yellow>Type>Favourites>ok, which is so annoying!!!
My Tesla tv has decent LiveTV app with nice groups for channls, which are infront of you just by pressing OK, then you name geoups - Movies - Music - Kids etc. and it is great for user.
Qhat about other brands Live%V apps?
I have a crappy Iranian tv called "Gplus". The channel list (accessed by the LIST button) is just a small list of TV and radio channels but when you press the directional keys, you access the groups you talked about
