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.

You can disable Win8 metro ui in regedit.

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.

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.

Has anyone been able to get the Sirius XM app working on their prime? With the apk from another thread on XDA, mine just sits there on the update screen. :'(

Yeah, I've read that before. It was far less helpful than a thread on Androidforums. Someone there had it working on their Galaxy Tab with ICS.

It works fine on my Galaxy Nexus *cough* BABABOOEY *cough* but not on any of my tablets. You would think because the Galaxy Nexus has ICS that it would work on the Prime

IMEI
The Sirius app needs to be able to read an IMEI number to work and because we are on a tablet and not a phone, there isn't one. I ran into the same problem with my GTablet and ran a patch on the ROM I was running to add the IMEI. Sirius then worked great, along with HBO Go. Hopefully someone much smarter than me can figure out how to patch an IMEI number into the prime. Here is the thread were I got the patch:

Interesting. I wonder if that means this app could get working by similar means those required to get Whatsapp going on here. Have you tried backing up to Titanium on phone and Restored on the Prime? I might try that this weekend.

Well, yay!
I am now streaming SiriusXM to my tablet in the background without the app. FINALLY! THIS IS SO AWESOME!
I'm using XMTuner (there are several different PC applications like this you could use) in conjunction with TVersity.
XMTuner is a dual purpose PC app that is a non-browser tuner as well as a server for linking the channel feeds to uPnP. TVersity (Pro) serves local media and streams (it treats the Sirius XM feed as an RSS feed).
I'm playing the channels on my Prime using Skipta which can be minimized to the taskbar. uPnPlay can also be used (as I've used it for years), but it seems to be slower loading the DLNA server locations.
As an incredibly awesome side effect, I am now able to stream SiriusXM to my Xbox 360. That's a pretty f***ing awesome side effect.
UPDATE: uPnPlay seems to be the better option. If you turn on the Cache Detection in the Experimental settings, your TVersity server connects instantly. No such setting in Skipta.
New Sirius app works from backup
Just downloaded the newest Sirius app on my phone. Did a Titanium backup and restored it on my Prime. Worked like a charm! The app is version 2.0 build 20060. The app is even better than the old one. You can rewind songs and whole shows.
Still no reason why there isn't a tablet optimized version...

It actually looks great on my Prime. It looks like it is optimized for a tablet, so maybe they are going to allow it soon. Check out the screenshot I took.

When I did the backup with Titanium, I was already signed in and had the channel list updated on my phone. I never saw the login screen on my prime.

Yes it has been troublesome for Android ICS 4.x, in general.
Yeah, I prefer the friendcaster app, it's worked much smoother and you can make it light letters on dark backround which is easier on battery and eyes.
Facebook stinks on this tablet....even on any browser it lags ...also u cant video chat from browser like pc

Thank you for posting this! This is 10 times better than using Facebook in a browser or using the dreaded dedicated app!
I should warn you guys. Any app that is not THE facebook app will be suspect to facebook API privacy. That means if your friends have not changed default settings, or have setup facebook to not show info about them through the API, you won't be able to see certain things on their page, or be able to do anything with their page through this app. I noticed this first with the xbox 360 app, and then the friendcaster app. Some of my friends had no pictures at all. Just be aware of that.
i have uploaded the live extra olypic app from nbc. I DL'd it on my DINC2 -->titanium backup--->extract---->install on my ATP. it works decent, every now and again it goes slow-mo. a quick home screen press and recent app open seens to fix. i have read that it is a tegra 3 issue.

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.

Thanks for the information, but what menu?
The main menu of asphalt 7 where you select carreer , quick play, etc...
Sent from my TF300T using xda app-developers app
Ya, the menu ***ks big time... it's just too slow to navigate - but that's true for all devices I suppose.
Graphics wise the game looks good.. It's worth a buy if you like racing games.
Just one gripe though, I use an XBox controller and there's no default mapping for brakes!
And the game doesn't let us customize the controls.. Would also like to mention that the keyboard dock can't be used for gaming.
i also played gta vice city and gta 3 vice city ran better then gta3 and also supported the keyboard but the mapping is a bit weird: arrow keys for driving/walking number 4 forl entering/exiting a vehicle and numer 2 to puch/kick i didn't find all of them do like running (can't seem to find a damned key that activates it)

Actually, yea, it can. Last time I've played this I used my dock keyboard without setting anything. Only for the nitro I've had to press it on tablet itself, but everything else worked on keyboard (acceleration, brakes, etc.).
The game runs fine. The menus and tracks load slow on the TF300, whereas on my Galaxy S2 they load quickly.
You can use your keyboard dock as well.
