Just wanted to let every body know Widget locker works great on the Nook Tablet.
Since we can't make the Nook button go right to a aftermarket launcher, I started to play around with widget locker. You can get it from the amazon appstore for $2.99
I set it up so I Have a short cut to go launcher right on my lock screen.
Also if you go to advance setting and click always unlock to home. You will also get the popup where you choose which home to go to and you can select Use by default for this action.
Nice, beat me to it. I emailed the developer for WL last night to see if he could email me the APK to try on the NT. I've bought it on Android Marker (didn't want to have to buy it agian) but I haven't heard back. Looks like it works though, good stuff.
thanks a lot for the tip. works awesomely, i dont even care about root/cfw anymore. with this easy launcher the tablet does everything i ever wanted it to.

I agree (somewhat). While I still want to get CM installed on it in the near future, I'm pretty satisfied with the workarounds that were obtained in under 2 days. this more than holds me over for what I want to do with it.
I can't get that kind of service anywhere else!
If only we could install 3d party keyboards....this would be mint.

You probably know this, but I've been able to install all my paid apps by emailing the apk from my phone to myself, opening gmail in the web browser and then installing from there.
ADW EX Launcher works perfect.

That app worked alright, I jammed up my gmail with it though, I had about 10 emails that got stuck on sending for like ahour while it super heated my phone. I wound up rebooting to stop it, it prolly was most likely some in my setup of my extremely modded phone though.
It did work great using backup to sd, then astro to share via dropbox!

Got my Flyer yesterday and I'm having issues finding Google voice in the market. I was interested to see if others are seeing this same thing. I have the US Wifi only Flyer.
Yep, not there. Gues the thought is that with lacking a 3G radio, it is not wanted/needed.
its easy to install it, back it up on your phone "android phone" then email it to your self then install it. works great on my flyer.

Yea side loaded the app but I wanted to see if others saw this too. It just seems strange.
Like I said in a post before this 2.3 is in limbo for a tablet OS, between froyo and honey-comb apps. cant see certain apps on both sides on the market to download.
I have been side loading some of the tablet apps from the zoom, icona and asus trans forums that you cant get on the market because the spread out in duel panes in landscape mode as some tablet apps should.

Like which ones? I was hoping to find the CNN or pulse apps that have been shown off on the xoom.
Blaw most apps detect that the flyer is not using honeycomb so they revert to froyo installed devices screen size, which does not use double pain landscape mode or "optimized for tablet screens" this sucks till honeycom comes out for the flyer.

I think it's actually limiting apps based on location. I think the Market thinks we're in Europe.

Awesome! Downloaded the apk from 2nd link and worked on my Flyer like a charm, thanks!
I came across this app at the market that was just put up today called DroidLu.
This app will allow you to watch Hulu on our SGT 10.1 without needing any flash hack! It costs 99 cents I would have paid more for this since it made it possible for me to watch Hulu! Now 3.2 has come to our tablet previous hacks don't work.
I can confirm it works!
Currently on Tsk650 V5 GT-P7510
Note that Hulu only works when you run it through Droidlu app. And make sure that you have latest flash player 11
Schuweeeeet ill try it out later tonight

It's barely an app. It's very difficult to scroll on the progress bar, very difficult to adjust the volume. The worst part is that the return button doesn't take you to the previous page. So you have to start all over again when you click on the wrong button. If you hit the lock button, you also have to start all over again after unlocking. So, if you want to want the show from beginning to end without interruption, without any misclicks, without jumping forward or adjusting volume, this is the app you want.

Has anyone gotten this app to work on a 3.2 ROM? I've tried it on overcome 2.0 and Task 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 with no luck. When the video starts to load it just closes.
Any one else?
You can get hulu to work using the old method. You just have to remove flash, copy the old .so to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer, reinstall flash from the market, then use a hex editor to change the plugin variable AND to WIN. I am running galaxy task 5.3 and I just watched Castle without any problems.

Would you mind creating a new thread with a sticky how to?
My experience today:
Search the market for "DroidLu" and it will bring up an app called Flash Video Browser by Dan Lockard for just under a buck. I just found out about it on droidforum, installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it works! I'm watching Modern Family right now!

Yep, just installed and it works perfectly. I'll give his FlashBrowser a try in a sec, because this is definitely worth $0.99!
EDIT: Spoke too soon. FlashBrowser shows as not compatible with my Verizon 4G LTE tab. I'll stick with the old DroidLu APK (linked above, working) and see if there's another way to donate to him.
Has anyone tried this, and if so what is your opinion of it?

Are you using it still, or did you go back to a different launcher?
I still have it installed and keep it updated .... waiting for it to be worth what I paid for it... but my default launcher is Nova (i like the folders) and sometimes Apex (I like Apex because of all the available themes)
Like TSF Shell also... just starting to use it

Thanks for reply, I might wait and see what happens. I paid $15.00 for spb shell and haven't used it lately. I have two touchpads (one for my son to use) plus one that I got for my sister,which has my Google set as a second account. So if I installed it on all three it might be worth it. Went to Chameleon's website and looked around, there are some Widgets that users have made and instructions to make your own. It looks like simple ones are just copy and paste, but I am not a coder by any means.
By the way we have the same devices. Started with the streak, got as far as unbranding it to get the gb update from dell.

From what I can tell from the forums on Chameleons site is, the widget is a web page in a window. If I am correct then it would be about useless unless you are connected to internet.
Yeah Chamelon is rather craptastic. I had such high hopes for it, all the widgets are essentially web pages and the ones that come with it are less than stellar nor configuratble.(all widgets have a grotesque bored of some sort) And the g+ and gmail widgets are basically them getting and delivering instead of just allowing native.(meaning you have to auth them to access your stuff to display) all the widgets that you can make dont run local unless you setup your own webserver. The location changes can easy be accomplished via Tasker. AND to top that off you cant even use normal system widgets or generic app widgets that ALL android launchers support.
BasicallyI'm having buyers/donaters remorse of 10$ for such a **** launcher and i'll just stick with zeam.

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.

I tired this with Nova from Windows. After much fighting to get it to recognise the device as an ADB interface, I dropped into the shell and ran the command as suggested. It returned
Code:

but it still prompts for the launcher choice. Tried rebooting the Fire but no change.
EDIT: Idiot-mode engaged. I forgot the com.
Thanks again, and especially for the Google Apps hack.
