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!

Have you seen this app? I have it on my phone and its nice.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:

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!

Well the ICS leaked apps are running pretty well. Amazon Appstore is running good as well. I have also install the GetJar store and I was able to get a few apps off from there. Look to see what you can install. I have replaced the Stock Browser with Firefox from the Market.

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.

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 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

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.

Works fine for me on aokp
When using the latest version of the play music app and CM7.2 the crash still occurs.

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.

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Did you uncheck the auto update on the market? Mine never updates.
Yes I did. I still have the black splash and auto rotation but the main ui has changed.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.
