Hi,
I just pursached my Flyer last week. I inmediatly made the Root from globatron´s guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
No problem with it, and all works fine. But know I have seen that I cant see/download apps from market wich are specifically for Honeycomb, although my Flyer runs Honeycomb. All the stock apps like Youtube, Maps... work with the Honeycomb skin, but I cant get new ones, and other apps like Google Docs or AstroZip are working with the Phone skin, not the Tablet Optimized view....
See the atachments below...
Can you help me??
I see you are looking for google body.I read somewere the they sold the software to a company named Zygote. You can subscribe on the wesite and they will notify you when the software is ready.
Www.zygotebody.com i think.

@berbecverde @mcord11758 Thank you for your replies, but I´m not interested in Google Body. That was just an example of Android 3+ -only App. But I recently discovered that I do see on the Market the Honeycomb-only apps.
Know I just want to know why my HTC Flyer, that is running Honeycomb, cant be identified as a Honeycomb Tablet by the Apps I download. See the example of Google Docs, wich is shown as in my Android Phone, and not like in other Tablets.
If you take a look at my new atachments, you can see the difference between Phone/Adroid 2x,(left) and Tablet/Honeycomb (right)
You actually got the title of your thread wrong. The Flyer supports HC and HC apps, but many short sighted developers considered tablets to be only the 10" devices with 1200x800 screens and so coded their apps only to that specification.

Along the lines of what I was going to say. Its not a case of the Flyer not supporting the apps or being able to see them on the Market; but rather a case of the individual app developers not supporting our hardware.
If what you say is true, I find absurde that for example the GMail or the Youtube Apps are looking like in other 10" Tablets, but the Google Docs isn't, as they are all from Google...
Maybe its a bug on my Flyer?? Could anyone of you test the Google Docs App on your Flyer and tell me how is it showing?
Thank you!
My Google docs looks exactly the same as yours.
My docs bigger than yours...
In all seriousness, there's nothing wrong with your device. As mentioned above, developers are only recently receiving the support necessary from Google to properly develop for the huge spectrum of devices, all with varying specifications. It's slow going, but should pick up momentum soon.

Just wait till Samsung drops their 11.5" 1600 x2000 pixel display behemoth on the Android world.
And is there any way to trick the Flyer so that its recogniced as any other bigger tablet in order to let the apps show like on the bigger tablets???
Maybe with a ROM?? Can LeeDroiD HC do that??
I would think some simple build prop edits would likely do the trick.
what mccord said. i made my incredible think it was like the galaxy s 2 so i could download modern combat 3 when it was 99 cents lol
If anyone can give a slightly more in depth explanation than that, I think several of us would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Your build prop has lines in it that identify the manufacturer of your device and the model. If you switch these bits with that of another device you would likely be able to fool the market

Edit
Basically this, inserting the appropriate line from a 10 inch tab. Not sure the end result will be usable apps
Now, edit that file from your PC with your choice of text editor. You might want to back it up / copy it first. Find the line that starts with ro.build.fingerprint= and replace the whole line with:
Does anyone know if changing the LCD density would help resolve some of these issues? I know some guys used to do that in the Nook Color forums to get some apps working, but that was specifically on Gingerbread (CM7). I don't know if things work differently on HC or not.

Correct and since HC was leaked it changed. Many apps are now also available for the Flyer HC.
But first I thought I was back in the 80th, where other developers make the mistake to think that a screen always have a fixed resolution.
But: A tablet is a tablet and not 1280x1024 pixels

No, it is the panel layout which google promotes in his own guidelines.
Our Flyer is not wide enough for the 3-panel layout from google docs. Therefore this application switch to the 1-panel layout.

So coming from the world of iPad.. yeah yeah, groan, another one of these, haha... I find that there's a big gap that Samsung\Android\Google has in the following areas when it comes to apps for tablet:
- Lack of an easy way to sort by "tablet optimized" ... the market has a Tablet featured section, but it doesn't seem to be able to search and sort by tablet only apps. This is very difficult to navigate.
- The term HD used to mean tablet optimized, but it seems this is becoming less and less common as some phones are now "HD" so the developers are more and more reluctant to call them HD to mean Tablet Edition.
Does anyone have any advice for me as to a good way to sort through and find apps specifically designed for the Tablet devices? I have the 10.1 so obviously the tablet apps are kinda a must, otherwise my eyes hurt looking at the low-res conversions of phone apps, haha.
Or is there a tracker that tracks Android TABLET Versions of apps available and as they come out?
There is a thread in the xoom or transformer forum that is keeping track of tablet compatible apps.

Way to try and boost your post count. Congrats on posting the most worthless post of the day. You clearly need to look up the word entitlement and educate yourself as to what's entitlement and what's not.
Oh by the way, I just found a website selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 32 GB models for $529... wanna know the link? Oh, it's on google, or yahoo or somewhere.
The point is when someone asks a question, and you take the time to respond, it's generally the norm that if you're are going to point them in the direction in the name of being helpful, that you indicate a location of a thread.. Saying they thought they saw something, maybe in the xoom, maybe in the transformer thread, that narrows it down to only about 2500 threads. Common sense. If you don't know an answer it's OK to say I DONT KNOW, or say nothing at all.
A smart man keeps his mouth shut when he doesn't know an answer.
EDIT - I just did a review of your last 10 posts. Every one you argue for the sake of arguing, providing zero benefit to any of the 150 conversations you've participated in over the past 4 years.

Ahh, yes, I've read this post before and was afraid that's what that user was referring to.
Unfortunately the question I asked was not which apps are COMPATIBLE with Android 3.1\Galaxy Tab, but that are in fact optimized for Galaxy Tab.
Sorry I thought I was clear. I understand most apps will run and be compatible with 3.1. but their resolution is poor ... so I was more looking for info as to if there is a thread where someone is keeping track of native tablet apps as they're released.
Thanks!
EDIT: I re-read my OP, and I was clear that I wasn't looking for a "compatible app" list as most apps are in fact compatible, but in fact looking for tablet-optimized\specific apps.
if you read that thread, you would see that there is a green asterisk next to all apps that are optimized for tablet viewing. Honestly, someone has to do the work of compiling these lists...if you're unhappy with what's available, create one!

Yeah, was going to create one of the apps as I find them, but no need to reinvent the wheel until I've asked if anyone has already, hehe.
I'll open a thread in the general or apps section under galaxy tab 10.1
I had that same question and I wrote to someone at the Android Market and this is the response I got:
"Thank you for your feedback. The ‘Android Apps for Tablets’ section contains featured apps for the tablet. As you’ve mentioned, it isn’t a comprehensive listing of all apps that are designed for your Honeycomb tablet.
If an app is listed in the Android Market accessed from the tablet, the developer of the app has indicated that it is compatible with your device.
I appreciate your feedback regarding the labeling of this section and will forward it to the rest of the Android team."
I had asked about apps optimized for tablets/honeycomb...but regardless of what I asked, the above is the response I got.

They don't seem to see value in their own new OS. The biggest anti-android tablet marketing tool Apple is using is "look, they don't even have apps for tablet" and when Android hides them or doesn't give option to show they do have tablet-optimized apps, it makes Apple look right.
1. First I highly suggest you install AppBrain as you'll get a lot more detail from there about apps. Visit appbrain.com and you will see what I mean. It gives you the links to the Android marketplace so you won't have to install unknown apks.
2. Sorry about the people on the forum. Sometimes people can be testy about newbies and their questions. Feel free to PM me with any questions. It takes a while to get the hang of things but the core Android supporters are pretty good at finding things for themselves. We've had plenty of practice.
3. Don't be afraid to start threads about things like this. Most of us don't pay attention to little things like this. To you, this a big thing and I can see it might turn alot of people away from Android tablets if they don't fix it. Perhaps a petition or thousands of e-mails will get their attention.
4. All of the apps I have installed (152) look great. Which ones are you having problems with? E-mail the developers and let us know as well so we can test them out. If they suck, we could all give the developers some feedback on it.

Oh I completely forgot about Appbrain Thanks And thanks for offering to help. I appreciate it.
There are very few apps that don't work... in fact, I haven't run into any that don't work, I was more asking because for example when comparing an app like Stock Alert - Tablet Edition to an app like Fidelity which doesn't have a tablet app (well they have iPad but not Android 3.1 tab yet), I more meant I just like the ones that are specifically made to take advantage of the tablet's great screen size.
Thanks again, you're class all the way, your response picked me up and made my day. I appreciate it.

Let's say it this way. If the Android Market doesn't have a up to date tablet/honeycomb section, it is very difficult for developers to develop tablet optimized apps. Because, why investing in this new platform when you get buried between the 400.000 apps currently on the market?
It's the first section that's on the market's main page... how is it hard to find or view apps marked as tablet friendly?

I guess it is even harder to comprehend the word "featured"
Agreed. When visiting the app store on an iPad, there are two very distinct sections, iPhone apps and iPad apps. Everyone knows that the phone apps will run on the tablet, but that's not a reason to lump them all together.
I think the use case is something like this:
1. I need a nice twitter client.
2. Check tablet section for twitter client.
3. If none found, settle for phone version.
Obviously the tablet version (like Tweetcomb) will use fragments to utilize the screen real estate. A phone client would not. The problem with not seperating the app market properly is that you may end up settling for a Honeycomb "compatible" app when there was a much more useful "designed for Honeycomb" app you didn't notice.
I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like people here are hesitant to accept some of these flaws as they try to justify their $500-$600 purchase. I for one love my Tab, if merely for the widget capability and Flash support. We need to realize that the way to bring Android tablets more mainstream is to take our heads out of the sand, accept that these are real issues, and make it known to the powers at be. Ignoring the problems and pretending that all is well with the Honeycomb ecosystem just won't work.
Edit: If Apple isn't too proud to copy Android's multitasking ability, notification system, etc to make a superior product; Android shouldn't hesitate to do the same where it makes sense. It's just good business, and even better for consumers.

Totally agree with you Blaine. There's no reason why they can't use the exact same structure and call it something else. Apple is taking features like BBM and now Google is working on their own. The market is getting better but it should be further along now.
I wonder how we as consumers can get this message across. I try using other App Markets but I would really like the Google Marketplace to get with the program. They should at least require them to put HD in the title or market them with a special color.

We should all e-mail the Android Market support team and tell them of this. I'm going to link to this thread in my correspondence.
I really believe I want an HTC Flyer. It is one hot piece of technology. I am having difficulty though justifying to myself that I would use it fully though. The reason why I say this is I have a fully rooted EVO, which already does everything. I hate to take away from my EVO, what it does so well- keeping me connected to everything.
I would like to get the Flyer for professional reasons. I teach HS math, and I write a lot on pdf files on a smart board and all that jazz. I would find use in the HTC Flyer with the pen functionality, but I don't think the Flyer has been designed for live presentations from my understanding. Does Evernote support live presenting? I hope someone could clarify this. I know the Flyer doesn't seem to have a video out connection like the EVO ironically does, and is useless.
I'm almost sold on this, but I just need a push I guess.
Its funny because I began looking at tablets to help a friend decide what to buy, and i think I'm going to buy one before him, if I can determine how to distribute my uses between the tablet and my EVO.
Thanks for your help in advance lol
It does have video out via mhl adapter and it works great, although I've never tried to draw with the pen and display it. I'll try it and post back

I'm not sure also of how well a pdf will display.
If I'm doing larger word problems on pdfs, I would have to probably switch between the word problem on the pdf and evernote or some other writing space to work out the problem. Doing all that on the pdf with the problem would just be cramped, I would think.
What u could do is do the word problem in steps and save them as "scribbles" in the gallery and use like a slide show

Hi everyone, I've just notice that in the HTC evo view 4g official website, under support -> download page, a "view 4g user guide - honeycomb" was recently added on Monday, Nov 14. Does this indicate that view 4g will get honeycomb update soon?
I don't think I can post links on the board yet, sorry about that.
Hi,
Link to the document -> http://htc.com/us/content/documents/HTC_EVO_View_4G/20111020_Sprint_EVO_View_4G_UG.PDF
I guess this means we are edging closer to a release..
Cool, and there is a pic of an official Honeycomb Swype keyboard on the View in that manual. Shouldn't be too much longer.
Why no description of the Scribe pen technology ? Isn't it supposed to be systemwide in Honeycomb?
the view docs are terrible, compare them to the jetstream docs.

the point is that there were only a user guide for view 4g - gingerbread, which was uploaded sometime back in the summer, and now the honeycomb version of the user guide just popped up on Monday, may indicate the honeycomb update is around the corner... I do have to agree with you that the user guide is next to useless...
The point is, there was a questiion about the pen.
Sent from my PG41200 using xda premium
my guess is going to be that since the HTC scribe is a seperate product, they left the pen out so that they could stop including the pen at a future point if they wanted to without everyone pestering them with "but the user guide says you could".
yeah, not everyone wants or buys the pen. It's a separate product.
The manual is gone now, you can only see the gingerbread version of the manual...... maybe there isn't a honeycomb to begin with, it was just our imaginations... I need to go to the doctors, because I'm starting to seeing things...

You weren't foolish at all.
The Flyer is hands down the best built, highest performance tablet on the market until the Asus Prime Tegra 3 hits the market.
We have had virtually every tablet going - Acer, Asus, Archos, Samsung - and they all went back and the Flyer stayed
So what the Flyer is running Gingerbread 2.3.4 - - far better that than buggy and unstable Honeycomb.
Until the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 comes out - we still take the Flyer over any other 7" tablet currently available - and the Samsung 7.7 is likely to cost well over $500

We need a Nice person to share the goodies from it (Leak)
Dear Will -Godzson,
I understand you would like information about updates for your device. I know how important it is for your device to be up-to-date. However, before releasing a ROM update we have to be sure that the software is going to work properly on your hardware and on your carrier’s network. This testing does take some time but will result in an update that is optimized to work on your device and on your carrier’s network. While we want to release software as soon as we can we will only do so once the software has passed our quality standards.
At this time we do not have any information about an update for your device. When the update is released it will be announced on HTC.com and/or our official social media outlets (our official Facebook and Twitter pages).
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our Contact Us site using your email address and your ticket number *************.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
HTC

I agree it is the perfect size for sketching...
We know it exists, in some cases we even know of people who have access to it, we just haven't managed to convince anyone with access to leak it.
I haven't seen a list of apps not working after our HC update, so I thought I'd start one. I'm running Globatron's US OTA and so far:
Most EA games (NFS shift & HP, & Madden 12) are not downloading necessary data.
My work around of x-ferring data files from a working device (in this case from my backup of Globatron's B09 leak) is not working either. The games start, but the graphics are basically either clear blocks or static looking. I aas able to x-fer the files for Worms and get it working, but that's a much simpler game with a lot less data. I understand EA has stated that they are not developing for HC (which makes absolutely no sense to me, but whatever) but in all of the descriptions of these vames it clearly states "optimized for Tablets". I also know that EA will need to correct this issue, but to have a list to refer to will be helpful.
Also, Pulse is not showing any text for articles, and the Amazon Appstore can be installed, but will not allow login.
That's all for now. All of the above were working fine in Globatron's B09 leak
My tab's Flyer than yours (unless this is posted in a Flyer thread... Then it's just as Flyer...)
http://android-gz.com
With Pulse I had your problem at one point in time but it is working fine now. I have no idea what corrected the issue, but I guess all I can say is it is possible to get it to work on HC
my GTA 3 stopped after update it was downloading sd data again when i opened it.... after that i never used
Pulse works fine for me. I have the BB HTC Flyer with the over-the-air Honeycomb update.
HBO GO.doesn't work, though.

I haven't seen a list of apps not working after our HC update, so I thought I'd start one. I'm running Globatron's US OTA and so far:
Most EA games (NFS shift & HP, & Madden 12) are not downloading necessary data.
My work around of x-ferring data files from a working device (in this case from my backup of Globatron's B09 leak) is not working either. The games start, but the graphics are basically either clear blocks or static looking. I aas able to x-fer the files for Worms and get it working, but that's a much simpler game with a lot less data. I understand EA has stated that they are not developing for HC (which makes absolutely no sense to me, but whatever) but in all of the descriptions of these vames it clearly states "optimized for Tablets". I also know that EA will need to correct this issue, but to have a list to refer to will be helpful.
Also, Pulse is not showing any text for articles, and the Amazon Appstore can be installed, but will not allow login.
That's all for now. All of the above were working fine in Globatron's B09 leak

All of those are working just fine for me on the OTA Honeycomb update for the View. It's odd that they don't work on the Flyer.
Please report any other dead apps here:

Virtuous support for the HTC Flyer
It didn't come up in my search, so I accidentally created a double post...

Amazon Appstore works fine for me. Did you use an old APK? I re-sent it from the Amazon website to my Flyer.

Report dead HC apps in a thread about Virtuous working on ICS? I don't get it . . .
It seems as though there may well have to be more specialisation in threads being created so that we all know where to post what. For example, there's about 100 billions squillion threads on pen support and hc... Bla bla... Anyway.
If we are allowed to report dodgy things going on after the HC upgrade, I would mention my experience of HTC Sense FC which is kinda a bit too often, but worse for me is my experience with the new HC copy/paste/ text selection interface, it just wants to jump about an aweful lot. Sometimes it seems that the thing won't let me do anything while...

The apk I used was from my RAZR. It's the same one that worked on the HC leaks, but I haven't tried sending from Amazon. Will Give that a shot, thanks!

Hello all!
See below for this thread on other forums.
Android Tablet Forum
====================
Click here to subscribe to this thread. I recommend it!
I'm a fellow Nexus 10 owner. I love my device, but I'm a bit tired of facing applications that are low-resolution and unoptimized for the incredible display we have on the Nexus 10. Even tablet-optimized apps are lacking. Aren't you frustrated? Hence, I thought we could do something about it as a community.
Which is the purpose of this thread!
Here's how it will work. This first post will serve as a compilation of all the petitions made to any and all developers to optimize their applications for tablets, and also the Nexus 10's display. Any subsequent posts in this thread shall be for petition requests and discussion, which I will personally put together and post up to the petition site being used for this purpose (Care2 as of this thread's posting). I will then add a direct link to that petition to this thread, sorted by category. Feel free to make any suggestions or to criticize! I will also start us off with a petition I have already created myself: to the developers of the Bloons TD series of games, Ninja Kiwi.
I'll try to keep things simple! Keep on topic, please, and try your best to sign each and every petition. Its the only way we'll be able to actually push developers to optimize their applications for tablets like ours! So, without further ado, let us begin!
Petition List
===GAMES===
-----
Bloons TD 5 - Optimize Bloons TD 5 for Android Tablets
-----
===APPS===
-----
Facebook - Optimize Facebook for Android Tablets
Instagram - Optimize Instagram for Android Tablets
-----
This is likely Google's job, not ours. In any event, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are three that immediately spring to mind. Not because they are low resolution -- not sure what you mean there -- but because the layouts are so clearly designed for smaller screens. I shouldn't have to opt for Friendcaster, Tabstagram, and Plume.

No, it's the app devs job. The point of this is to show them that there is a need for this to be done by enough of their user base to merit the work hours it will take them to implement it. What they don't know ends up hurting us. It is actually an excellent idea.
A dedicated Facebook app should be a priority. My mate has an iPad and I found myself looking longingly at the sickness of the dedicated app. Something needs to be done to put a stop to this sick perversion!

I would tend to agree with Brees on this one, which you could probably guess. I think Brees put it excellently!

Its the job of the application developers to get out proper apps. Google has done TONS of work already. Now we need to show these guys that we, the users, actually care about proper tablet applications, and that it is worth the investment.
Thats why I created this thread - if we don't do something about it, no-one will! I'm going to try to get as many signatures as possible, and I'm going to spread this thread across multiple forums if necessary. AndroidTablets.net springs to mind.

Exactly! I'm tired of this sort of thing. This needs to be put to a stop. I'll create the petition.
Like previously said all those social apps need optimization for sure. And the xda app needs optimization. I think there's an HD version but it costs money

You'll excuse me if I seem overly cynical about this. I used to be a BlackBerry user. Well over two years ago, some folks on Crackberry launched a campaign to bombard Reid Hastings, the president of Netflix, with email to get Netflix on the BlackBerry platform (the OS 6 devices like the Torch had then fairly recently come out). If you are familiar with Crackberry, you know that they are a rabid, fanatical horde. Nothing happened. Then came the petitions -- change.org and the like. They are still going on more than two years plus later, and despite the fact that BlackBerry now has quite decent phones and a decent OS in BB10, there is still no Netflix on the platform.
EDIT: Holy! I already have 4 signatures for Facebook on Android Tablets and I haven't even posted it anywhere yet! That shows something.
C'mon guys, I'll post it up in the main thread. Vote for it now!

I think your points make sense, but they aren't a valid reason really to cause Netflix to develop for BB10. The marketshare simply isn't there.
With Android, however, the market has shown that it is a valid platform (and I hate to say that as if it was an option - c'mon. ANDROID IS AWESOME! ); it makes sense for them to update, and it only helps us out. We need to show them that we actually CARE. If they understand that, then they will update for us without question. If they have any business sense, that is.
Same with BB10 (which is, quite frankly, a very nice OS - it even has NFC Beaming support between BB and Android devices). If they had the market AND Crackberry screaming like it was/is, they would get a proper app quite quickly.
This deserved a quick update post: the petitions for Facebook and Instagram are now online. Facebook already has a few votes!
I just signed Facebook one.

BB's problem is definitely rooted in market share, something that Android in general obviously has no problem with. But the numbers dwindle considerably when you're talking about Android tablet market share, and then on top of that, you've got to consider how many Android tablet users really care that there are some apps that are just scaled up phone versions. Apple cared enough to do something about it -- remember that was one of the criticisms of the first iPad, i.e., that it seemed just like a oversized iPod. Google has not been responsive on this front (nor on others for that matter).
Anyway, I don't want to discourage anyone, so have at it.

Don't worry, you're not discouraging (me, at least).
Android Tablet market share has been steadily on the rise - in fact, it rivals the iPad. According to many statistics, they are slated to pass (if they have not already) Apple devices in tablet market share by the 3rd quarter. I listed 3 (or 4?) links in all of the petitions.
As for Google, they have been doing a great job lately. They added dedicated tablet sections to Google Play, and have been pushing developers to adhere to the guidelines constantly. I say keep up that pressure!

Thanks! We need more people like you here. Keep it up!
As for everyone else, keep an eye out for new petitions; and, most importantly of all:
SIGN THEM!!!!
We have hundreds of views on this thread, yet most people don't seem to want to take 60 seconds and sign the petitions, oddly enough. And this is a Nexus 10 forum. Keep it up, anyway! We CAN do this with enough time.

One of these days I plan to actually try to learn some Android development; I'll be sure to make whatever apps I make optimized for the N10 though :good:
