Check out Feedly too.

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:
Feedly
Newsr
News360 (still in Beta but quickly getting better)
Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

I've had my tab for a, few months now and I don't use it much aside from netflix but i want to use it for games and such. The market is confusing when it comes to finding tablet made apps and games. So if all of you want to post the apps and games you use to make your tab worth using post it here!

No prob bro
As of ics when you move browser in the background, that is switch from browser to another app, the flash content on the web page gets paused, like the waiting seconds countdown on a file sharing website, it simply means you can't multitask,
So is there a app that can prevent the browser from being dead in the background, or a floating browser will do the trick

I meant with browsers not YouTube app. With opera we can easily browse other tabs while listening to music on YouTube, even without ram manager. Well I guess I'll just have to stick with SuperVideo.
Btw, what other improvements ram manager makes? Other than keeping flash on file sharing sites while background, which opera does by itself, I think, there seems to be no visible changes..
Found a workaround in Firefox
Thought I'd share this workaround.
1. Flash Player (I'm using version 11.1.115.12)
2. Firefox for Android (version 17)
3. Use site requiring flash
4. Open settings menu in Firefox
5. Press Home/Power button to multitask/shutoff display.
Useful for flash music / radio / video.
You may want to use another browser to surf with music in the background.
cons:
Music continues playing if headphones pop out.
Not too sure of the battery drain.
Works on my stock Verizon S3 Jelly.

Hi JJeng, i use note s2 and downloaded firefox v18 but couldnt find an option home/power - multitask/shutoff - do u know where to find. and is it possible to use ram manager pro without rooting my phone.
Got it. Misunderstood your steps. Working fine now. Thanks a lot.
Tnks, fr tc suggestion,
But wht I'm looking for is live gold rates, wht i exactly want is, when i move to another app from a browser, i still want the browser to run in background, it will be helpful to others when they r downloading files from megaupload etc where the timer stops once u leave the app

Try OverSkreen. It will keep Flash running even with the screen turned off and while using other apps. The only drawback is that you need to keep it laying on top of everything. You can make the window tiny so it's less bothersome but it would still be better to find something that runs completely in the background.
Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".

All,
I recently downloaded Themer and love a lot about it. It's quick, and very nice looking.I realize it's still in beta and I can appreciate how stable it is for being a beta program.
My questions concern more the area of customization rather then functionality.
1: Is there any way of adding my own Smart categories? I'd love to be able to reorganize some apps into a slightly different hierarchy/grouping.
2: Is there anyway to get the launcher to recognize the Music player on the Galaxy S4? it refuses to use it on any of the home screens/themes I've tried even though I've got it set in the app preferences.
I'm coming from using a bunch of other launchers that are good, but not quite what I've been looking for.
Thanks in advance.
1. The function is probably going to get added
Sent From My GT-I9000 Running Mackay ROM KK 4.4.2
on the S4 m8 just select widgets from themer menu then select the music player widget
Alldroid, these themes already have a music player widget as part of them. Replacing it with the stock music player widget would ruin the theme. For now I have it pointing to Play music player, but I would like to have the Samsung music player be the default app for playing music.

Hi,
1. We are planning on doing this in the future.
2. The manufacturer music players are incredibly hard to incorporate, but it will also be added in the future.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

You can log in using your Google account. You needed a Google account to log into the Google Play Store and download Themer, therefore you can use that same account
