ok guys just got hold of samsung tab 10.1 for around £286 mint so now im wondering what are the first things to do to it to improve it so to speak and dont say sell it for an ipad 2
Root, Overclock and flash a custom ROM. Enjoy.
Buy HD widgets from the android market cause they got some really sweet widgets... Go to the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 section and go under Themes and apps to find the screenshot thread to give you an idea on cool layouts for your tab.... Well that's what I did, lol

If your into games check out the post on some of the many games that have been tested on the 10.1. I would also check out the custom roms after yiu root, just be aware of your battery, especially if you overclock. There are some instructions on how to get your battey back if it happens just search the forum.
There are a number of themes out there, I would stay away from the live wallpaper if you expect everything to just snap at the homescreen. Also check out the Amazon app market, free paid app per day and every once in a while they release a good one like folder organizer.
I would say other then that enjoy, and find out how the tab helps you when your away from the computer.

What do you mean by being aware of the battery? In what sense? The battery life? I thought overclocking didn't cut the battery life if the voltage is kept the same?
For the OP, other than that was mentioned, before even settling on a ROM, I would just search and get a ton of apps and try it out. Then I reformat and install the ones I really like. Idk, for me installing all those apps makes a huge mess and slows things down so I like to just download everything i want to try and then install from a clean start. Try various browsers, etc.
ADW Launcher is good. Various remote desktop stuff. Also enable Hulu (I dont know if you need root but there's a thread here somewhere) if you want and also get Netflix.
hi all,

I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?
Here is two screenshots from my tab and phone
Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.

So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe
I think FriendCaster looks/and is made for Tablets. It looks wonderful on my GT 10.1.

Exactly, the android original Facebook-APP is just crap anyway . Friendcaster Rules

Tried all releases back to 1.7. None of them are tablet optimised. And earlier than 1.8 wont show profile pages at all.

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.
After various tests such as changing App dpi, clearing cache, even dalvik (?) I'm at a loss.
Looks like there is yet to be a solution for this.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.
Today, I update my FB version, and the problem continue...

Hey everyone, is it possible to take the calendar app that comes stock on the S3 and get it onto the Note II? I have the Note2 and my wife has the S3 (stock) and I really like the calendar app that comes on it. I'd like to put it on my Note if possible.. is it possible?
