just in case some of you were not aware, the Jelly Bean (4.1) Play Store is available for download here on xda, it's pretty nifty, the Play Store now has magazines and there are minor changes but definitely a thing that, in my opinion, everyone should do...but anyway...apk attached and link to thread with screenshots etc.

Will give it a try...
it's merely an update of an app...you sideload the apk and install it, it's the new play store, has a few new features most that we will not use, but it does have some updates to apps that were not on the previous market
no big deal, just thought i would post it here in case some of you do not read Android news anywhere else
Thanks, works great.

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
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!

The Firefox from play store seems incompatible but you can give Aurora from Mozilla a try. Still alpha I believe but works well for me so far on my prime. Snag the apk directly from Mozilla!
Happy Browsing!
Sent from my Transformer Prime using xda premium
Firefox does not work at all at time of writing, which I find frankly deplorable. Aurora does, however, it isn't rendering some pages correctly in mobile or standard browser modes.
Firefox Beta asbeen updated in the Play Store with tablet support. I'm posting from it right now
The bad: It renders slower than stock or Chrome and the occasional ANR (though it seems to happen less than with the stock browser.)
The Good: Extensions like adblock and phony. Flash support and it's very very smooth now. I like to stress test on cnets site and it works pretty well there.
I read the rules and from my interpretation of them, it's ok for me to advertise my FREE app here, so I hope I don't piss anyone off.
I just finished my first public android app and published it on the Play store. It is basically a tracking/statistics app for fans of UFC/MMA. It allows you to view fighter profiles, track upcoming and past events, view live news, receive notifications of upcoming events, track favorite fighters, and more. I am still actively developing to make it more polished, but I would love some feedback from the developers community. You can find the app via the Play store by search for "UFC Source" or by clicking the link below:

I just updated Google play music on my mirage 7.2 nook color on it keeps force losing on me. Anyone else having the same issue?
Thanks
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
Yep, Im having the same issue. Updated to 4.3.606 and now I can't open the app. There are quite a few reviews on the Play Store concerning this too. Hopefully it gets resolved. In the meantime, I'm just running an older version that I had backed up.
Broken for me on my kindle fire as well since the newest update.
I also have this force close issue on my HTC Thunderbolt 4G on my LiquidSmooth ICS rom. I hope someone figures out how to fix it.
Same here. Vanilla CM7.2

I made a post in the App section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350164&page=51
I also made a post on the official Google Support forums here please post on it if you are having this problem
http://productforums.google.com/for...roid-devices/android-applications/a6u2tK6a49g
Searched the inter web for an older version...google play music 3.1, I think.
Works on Mirage.
Hope this helps.
I made this post for Google Play Music FC here please post in it if you are having the problem still. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799125
Works fine for me on aokp
When using the latest version of the play music app and CM7.2 the crash still occurs.
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
Hmff, this is disappointing, setting up one of my old NC's and wanted to let my daughter listen to my Google Music. I notice that it doesn't create a Google Play Music entry in the Accounts at all, but I wonder what's going on overall.
I'll have to do some debugging, once my girl gives the tablet back.. She's busy making a monster farm or something
I experienced this problem too. I think it is a problem with the DPI density. I set my NC's DPI to 180 and it stopped FC'ing on me. Then started FC'ing again when I reverted the DPI density back to the stock 160. But ultimately, I just upgraded my NC to Jelly Bean. No more problems for me. Google Play Music runs fine on Jelly Bean.

Hi,
I recently made a switch to CM9. I was using an App made for webOS called Zite. I like Zite and want to continue using it. I found app in Google Play. I am trying to install Zite from Google Play. But it shows message that "your device is not compatible with this version". I tried modifying build.prop but there was no impact. Is there a way to install Zite on CM9?
Thanks
Do you have any other android devices? You could try side loading from one of them...
Never mind, I uploaded it here for you since it's a free app. Just use your file explorer to install it!

Flipboard is really awesome. In app experience is just awesome. Smooth like butter on TP. U can't install it from play store though (like zite). Side load it using the procedure mentioned above by SGA

Here is an app to send apk's via Bluetooth or gmail. Make sure you have it set to share apk and not link.

On android zite does not support tablets. Have you tried to side load it? Try to Google zite.apk the only problem with this method is it won't do updates but you might get it to work until they come out with a tablet version.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
If you can't get Zite working well for you you might want to look at the app called Google Currents. Even when I was using webos I wasn't a big fan of Zite . Currents works pretty well.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
I have never used Zite but as others mentioned, Flipboard (side load required), Google Currents (loads fine from market) & Pulse (market loadable) are a few that work perfectly good on TP.
Thanks for responses. I have Flip board, Google currents, APPY Geek and Pulse in addition to Zite. I use all these apps. I almost exclusively use those . I recollect installing all these from play store with cm9 June version. No side loading. But now (with aug version) it won't let me. Even Flip board says app is not compatible, however I have it already installed. My major issue with Flip board is, it only works in portrait mode.
Zite on webOS is beautiful. I am a business user and am one of those who like webOS's simple user interface.
