Hi!
I'm really fond of the Metro UI that is built in WP7 phones, but as I can't afford buying a new phone for now (and maybe a long time), I'd like to make my Arc a bit more like a common WP7 phone.
So I purchased the donate version of Launcher 7 -I'm satisfied enough with it-, but would like some more customization details, like themed apps (principal ones, like messaging, phone, etc.), and why not even a custom framework-res and stuff!
But apart from Launcher 7, I'm didn't find anything interesting, that's why I come to you : does anyone know how to make it more WP7 style or would be interested enough to start customizing the phone and some apps? I would do it if I had some aesthetical sense, but that's not the case
Thanks for reading and sorry for my poor English
i have been keeping track of this project myself. I wouldnt buy any of their apps as of today but wait until its finished

Why did you not just buy a windows phone surely the HTC HD7 is cheaper than the ARC anyway

Fede's music app is out of beta, and is now called Uber music, it expired sometime last month, and you get a prompt that explains that its out of beta and to buy uber music, when you open the app (Fede's music) then it exits.

"The WP7Android-Project?
This project was launched by mobile entusiasts to combine the ultimate mobile experience: the freedom of Android and the grace and elegance of Windows Phone 7. Anyone that has not used Windows Phone 7 is missing out on the sleek and beauty of the OS and the style of the applicaitons. However, on the other hand, those that have used it will also notice the limitations and lack of apps that everyone is used to use."

Ok so I have CM7.1 Alpha3.5 on the TouchPad. It's decent. However, it's just a blown up phone ROM with some tweaks to make it usable on a screen this large. This means that there's no panes in Gmail or other tablet optimized apps.
Now, I don't mean to diminish the work that has been done to things like the overlay for the buttons - that is really a slick implementation - but is there any way/place to get the tablet optimized versions of apps onto this thing instead of the phone versions of the apps? Or should I just shut up and wait for ICS to come out soon?
EDIT: Sigh. Mod, you can move this to the General section. My bad.
I was thinking of installing this, but if what you say is the case (all the apps will be like they are on the phone) then I guess I will wait til an ICS port comes out. I just REALLY want the Android apps on the Touchpad.
Install it! You have nothing to lose. You can boot into webOS OR CM7 via the startup menu.
Don't let one guy's complaints stop you.
Oh by all means install it. Its crazy fast and in a worst case scenario you lay an easier foundation for installing ICS when it is available. You don't have to use Android - this will get you dual booting.
If your talking about google music or netflix tablet versions, if you edit the device id to something like GT-i900 it will load up tablet versions.
At least this has been my experience...

Hmmmm... Can I do this on the device itself or adb to it or what?
Build.prop using a text editor of some kind will do the trick

In my situation, I've had the exact opposite occur: too many apps have told me to purchase the tablet version of their apps, such as SwiftKey for one. Netflix comes up as the tablet version, and i dunno about Gmail, but it doesn't bother me none if it's the phone view, it still works fine.

Really? I edited my building prop to the Galaxy 7 wifi only since it has same resolution as Touchpad using and is wifi, only. All my apps look gorgeous. Typing on SwiftKey Tablet right now. GT-P1010 Samsung, i used root explorer to and just edit the build prop right on your Touchpad. I think es file will work too

Yeah I understand that - but I'm asking if there's a way to install the honeycomb/tablet versions. It sounds like, from everybody else, that we can with a simple edit of the build.prop file.
I will give it a shot later! Thanx everybody!
Well if anyone knows how to get the Plume Tablet version to run with a build.prop setting that would be great.

Fyi there is a huge difference between "tablet version(hc)" and " tablet optimized " tablet optimized works on larger screen gb units( like our tp)
tablet version is intended for honeycomb devices with the appropriate framework and can only be loaded on honeycomb os.
The reason why ppl are needing to edit the build.prop is for the app/market to recognize our device as a compatible device/hardware on a "tablet optimized " app.
No matter what u do a "tablet version" application will not work on a "phone version " os.
If it were that easy to install a hc application, the current fragmentation would not exist within androids, and ics would not be that important coming out.
Just a food for thought rant since I'm seeing so many God damn threads about this matter lol..
Thanks for listening

Honeycomb source was never released so we are stuck with a phone optimized version of Android until we can get an CM9/ICS ROM. There are new APIs etc in Honeycomb that won't allow those apps to run in Gingerbread even if you somehow force installed them. You can find some apps that will display a tablet UI. Here is a few of ones I use that run a tablet UI:
Netflix (really nice tablet UI update that is working great)
OfficeSuite Pro 5
Maxthon Browser for 10" Tablet
Firefox (tablet UI can be enabled in about:config)
What I look for is apps that have tablet screenshots or have been updated for ICS yet the same version also runs on GB.

so once we have an ics port we will have something that functions just like honeycomb does on the current tablets?
For those who want a swype style keyboard, try TouchPal keyboard tablet edition. I may install it in update.

There is a video somewhere in the forums. There are two lines you need to edit. I know what to enter, but can't remember the exact name of the lines that are changed.
Here is a link to the video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381728
GT-I9100 and Samsung are the edits. It still won't let you download too many tablet apps as this is a phone port, but it still rocks.

Actually the Honeycomb source was released, it's included with the ICS source.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/c0e01b4619a1455a?pli=1
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich.

But since ICS is here nobody cares about Honeycomb anymore.

More importantly, the HC releases are not tagged, so it is all random guessing as to which ones correspond to the HC builds..
Hi All,
This is my first ever post in this section. I have searched a lot and find a nice software application to be used as a PC suite.
I know many people are addicted to the PC suite and this software is only for the lovers of PC suite.
What this software can do? Here we go for a quick list:
1.Sync Files
2.Image preview of the mobile pics in PC.
3.App management
4.Call logs
5.Messaging (able to send/read msgs,backup)
6.Can change wallpaper with a click.
7.Contacts Management
8.Can take screenshot (Still as well as video)
9.File Management.
And a lot more features......
So go ahead and give it a try.
I am not taking any sort of credit for it, I have found something important and just sharing with you all.
I would like to thanks to MOBO team the developer of this application.
Here is the link........
Enjoy.......
Press Thanks if the above post helped
Thanks for this. Really needed it. Every time I found any pc suite it was basically paid or trial version. I guess mobo is completely free as far as I have used it lately.
Yes it is absolutely free and also the version is beta 1.
May be they will make it paid in future.
But being time it is working nice....

Hi friends
This app seems like a good document editor for MS office and pdf, the user interface looks decent and there are dropbox, Google drive integration.
I'm curious on trying this app, but my Tablet isn't eligible for the download due to region restrictions.
Could a kind soul grab the app for me on Google Play and post the apk here?

works on my HTC flyer, couldn't DL it from the play store...
Works on my Transformer Prime in Belgium ^^
It's incredibly amazing, though also paaaaaaainfully slow... not the connection, just the interface. I'd mainly need this for Excel (haven't found an Android Office suite that does XY scatter plots!) but the sluggishness would need some getting used to on my otherwise very fluid device.
The interface is pretty annoying to get around in, since it's so cramped. Luckily my dock's touch pad can help with that. What's weird thuough, is that it doesn't recognize some physical keyboard-specific inputs, like arrow keys. You'd think they might have tested for that?

Once there's a build for the N5 I'd love to see an iRC client (something like XChat or HexChat), a TuneIn Radio App, and a video player like VLC or MPlayer. That's basically how I use my N5 on Android, but with a desktop class mobile OS this should totally be possible.

What is really needed is better multitasking, especially as the number of tablets running Android grows. I mean have it so that apps can run on a portion of the screen at half third or quarter size, so they can be used simultaneously. Maybe it needs to be more like an extension of the widget functionality, where each widget is basically a full app running. So you could have a word processor, pdf reader, and browser window open at once. Or phone and sms, or youtube and file explorer, music and a simple game. I think Windows Mobile can do this in some limited way.
It feels like people obsess over minor changes to the appearance of the OS or arrangement of a particular app, and forget that you need to rethink some of the most basic aspects of the UI from time to time to stay competitive as an OS.
