[Q] User Profiles without root - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I would like to share the prime with hubby. Is there a way to create user profiles? We don't have the same preferences ( he's so not a fan of dolphin water wallpaper).
I found an app that would do it, but it requires root. I'm not ready to go there and on .21 so that option is out.

[Q] Browser mobile issues

I don't know is default browser from ASUS or Android anycase problem with it is that all websites are showing mobile version of website and since we have 1200x800 I want to see natural full website.
How to achieve that ?
you can request for a desktop site from stock browser settings. though this change only works for that session. i could not find a permanent way of doing this.
i shifted over to dolphin hd. love the gesture support .

ICS+ browser is a free market app.
Found this in the q&a section. Type about:debug in browser then settings/debug/UAstring. You will then see the option to change to desktop. I just tried it and it seems to work but will need to do further testing to see if it will stick.
The ICS Browser+ app is available here. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus
Tried all the other alternative browsers but was still having a heck of a time with Flash on one of my roommate's favorite sites. The about:debug trick seems to reset upon reboot or exiting the browser. Browser+ makes the desktop agent stick permanently.

Sony tablet style separation in app drawer

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked already but i was wondering if there is a mod available which enables separation within the app drawer?
It's native on the Sony tablet but not on the prime as far as i can see.
Any info would be great thanks.
How about describing what this is/does. I don't have a Sony, so don't know what you are talking about. But, if described, I may know of an app that does it.

Try getting a new launcher.

Requesting : A very Windows Look alike theme?

Hi , im thinking about to buy a Asus eee pad transformer/prime , can't decide.
and i saw aloooot of reviews and stuff like themes if you root it.
For an example , metro Ui , And Xbox dashboard theme, ive been looking for something to look alike windows.
There are alot of things that makes me want to buy this tablet.
For an example (the primary thing) open it up superfast Open the web browser or check mails really easy and to watch movies.
But since i saw you can also root it and make it play Modern combat 3 with mouse
or just without rooting it play With a xbox360 gamepad.
Sorry got off-topic
But anyways im requesting any theme looking like windows (NOT METRO UI) <
the main reason im not going to upgrade to win8 when it comes, unless you can disable it.
Or otherwise a Mac theme , Or anything to make it really look like a notebook in the home
Im not a android user now but ive had a android phone before i broke it.
Thank you in advance : D!
Theres an xbox theme and tutorial on here if you look around.
Edited, here it is

Quick hijack of this thread, but does anyone know of a lock screen that acts and looks like the Windows Metro one, where you slide the picture up.
Thanks in advance.

In the release preview how? I hate the metro look on a pc.
There is an app for the phones called launcher 7 but it does not work on tablets, maybe u want to search the play store and ask the creator to make it for tablets too.
Secondly, you could also use splash top to make it look like windows too!
yes, going all the way back to Win8 Developer Preview

Yeah I seen this but not for the release preview, I had to set up a scheduler to bypass it when the pc starts. and use an app to make a start button
For real? I bet if the registry does not allow switching modes out-of-the-box, adding the key or string from the developer preview would fix the problem after reboot.

Overskreen is cool, but not yet optimised for 4.1 so I suggest you check out other free floating browsers (Overskreen is a paid app).
I also have a Nexus S phone using Overskreen and I was able to grab the .apk from it and simply copied the file over to my Prime, from there it installed fine. That method is called sideloading.
That's exactly how I accomplished it. I bought on my samsung relay and grabbed apk

You should change the topic to be more descriptive.
You can download the app here:
NBCOlympics.com
People searching for this know that the app is flagged as incompatible. I you cannot download it from nbcolympics as it just provides a play store link

Interesting app. It does ask who your TV provider is and made me log in to my FiOS account.
An Olympics fan with a Prime who doesn't have an android device will appreciate your sharing of the app.
After reading how you did it, I did it for myself to my phone from the market, then used Root Explorer to find air.com.nbcuni.com.nbcsports.liveextra-1.apk in /data/apps. Then I sent it to my cloud storage so the Prime can access it. Works just like you said.

It works great. I simply downloaded the APK...
It's a shame that they don't support Tegra 3......
It says I don't have a subscription. Is there anything I can do about that? I don't have MSNBC I don't think. All I have is dish network kids pack. I REALLY want to watch the Olympics!

When I try to install the first time I get an error message saying something like "There was a problem parsing this package." Then I tried it a second time, and the install worked, but it keeps going into slow motion. Any idea why?
I'm on a stock transformer prime.
The slow motion that happens after the first few seconds of video playback can be worked around by pressing your home button. Then, open the recent programs and go back to Live Extra. The video will play back fine.
