What's the best weather app out there that works well on the TF300T? And no, I don't mean a widget - I have lots of them - I mean a weather app that has forecasts, alerts, radar maps, etc.
Specifically, I'd like to have something that works as a tablet app, and not just a compatibility mode or rehash of a phone app.
Thanks!

I use weatherbug elite. There is a wb tablet version, but it stinks, and no recent updates. I won't say the best but it does well from what I use it for.

I love the weather portion of the HD Widget, but it doesn't have notifications, and is missing the hour-to-hour forecast (available through a link to a web page). It supports multiple weather sources, though, so it's flexible.

G-now is great for quick little things, but anything past temperature and condition it just doesn't get the job done.
i actually prefer BeWeather Pro. (i think free version get you all this as well, pro version just gives more widget options)
it has some beautiful animations, gives hour by hour, rainfall by hour, weekly forcast, about 5 different radar types, notifications ect. its a great app, one i had been waiting for for a while.
I use fancy widgets. It has an option to add the current temp on the notification bar works well on my tablet and phone ( you can re-size the widgets easily ) and has downloadable themes. I use the paid version so there are few of additional options with it.

I didn't use it for anything, except for a couple of screenshots and doodling, so I thought $39.99 was too much to pay for an app to just take screenies.
I ripped the Supernotes app from the ASUS EEE, and I love using it with the stylus. All my notes are now taken with that app and the pen.
Yeah the Asus app is pretty much a HC rehash of Freenote that's been on the app market for a while. Some cute features, but I still prefer Evernote / HTC notes, one big reason being that they sync and share to the cloud and across phone, tab, desktop.
Are you using supenotes on HC or gingerbread? I tried supernote on my stock gingerbread, but it just force closes.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
Supernote is a HC only app. Try Freenote from the android market, looks like the same thing and runs on all versions of ANdroid
Just curious... what feature do you feel lacking in the notes app?
I finally updated to honeycomb. I installed supernote but I noticed the application is a little glitchy. Anyone else who is using this notice the bar on the left side and parts of the screen on the right is cut off? Maybe its the apk I am using. Could someone upload a good working version if there is one?

I don't get it. What's wrong with using Evernote.

Supernotes is a Asus custom version of Freenotes. Its not meant to run on the Flyer, it runs on the Asus Transformer.
I personally much prefer the HTC Notes / Evernotes to Freenote, but if you want the original version, you can download Freenote from the Android marketplace and stop using the Asus application meant for the Transformer.
Others have stated it works. My question was for those who have used the app. I am aware of freenotes and have used it, but
still prefer supetnotes. They are not exactly the same. I do use the stock notes/evernotes apo, but I like options. I had a transformer and that's why I am partial to the app. I used a version ripped for the Xoom so maybe that's why it has a few glitches.

Well I've been trying to find good tablet launcher but all I can find decent is Nova launcher. Any recommendations? Stock lags a bit when multitasking so looking for something efficient ^_^ and thanks in advance . Hopefully this would be useful to other noob members like myself.
I'm also looking for a good browser that don't force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me
I'm not rooted just FYI I'll be waiting for fully stable CM releases later on ^_^

I like nova launcher the best, although apex is popular among Galaxy Nexus devs for some reason. But both have the same features like ADW themes, folders and whatnot.
I'm now using the go launcher hd, it's completely free and it's much, much smoother than the stock launcher.
I have never use nova/apex, what's the major difference between go launcher and nova/apex??
I haven't used go launcher hd but Apex and Nova are like an enhanced stock ICS launcher.

Yup I'm using Nova.. Apex lags when on power saving mode... lol kinda dissapointed my g2x tegra 2 under clocked to 750mhz doesnt lag with apex.. then again custom rom/kernel
Im a bit skeptical on current unlock/roms available ill wait till they get polished to have as daily use ,I dont like to keep updating and changing roms so often.
I'm also looking for a good browser that dont force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me.
Didnt feel like making new thread for this. Changed thread name also and edited first post

I've been using ICS Browser+ the last couple weeks for my browser. Happy with it. Like a modified version of stock browser. Feel it has more customization, more stable and I get fewer wait/force close notifications. Flash works fine with it.
I'm pretty happy with go launcher HD , but haven't tried anything else besides stock.
Dolphin will do flash.

Dolphin was my first choice and it did not do fullscreen flash videos but gota say I'm impressed with icsbrowser+ it simply works and its fast most stable i have seen yet for my tablet
I recommend overskreen it is 2$ but what it does is really nice and worth it for every tablet , it stays on top of any screen or app etc and u can resize it how you want its prety fast toobut it wont handle flash vids fullscreen when needed. Sure most of these browsers will fix that common problem eventually.

I honestly just use the stock launcher. I have nova and adw installed but don't really like them. Adw is too much and nova is ok but the ASUS widgets don't look right. That opinion will probably change for me later on. For the browser I really like how chrome shares of everything with my laptop. Thought about giving browser + a look though cause I do like the stock browser. Ics did a good job with everything almost to where the second launchers and browsers aren't really necessary like they were in the 2.2 days.

I agree after the build.prop mod the stock browser is the best and most stable. As far as the launcher nova and apex for some reason when running on powersaving both launchers kinda lag

I've been running with just the stock launcher really, haven't looked into alternative launchers yet.
Been using Dolphin HD for a while since I wanted LastPass integration, but before I did a factory reset (unrelated issues) it'd crash a lot with the latest version, hopefully that was just a random issue. It's fairly good otherwise and LP support through a plugin is very nice.

Dolphin cant handle fullscreen on latest firmware and my stock browser is actually being way faster than any other browser.. I'm honestly astonished by how its performing after the build.prop change. Only browsers that can handle fullscreen right now is stock and ics browser+ ( based on stock)

Thanks for the tip! ICS browser + and Browser2ram is a good combination. I don't understand why Asus left out the option for setting the useragent in the standard browser.

If you searh the development section you will find it. But be wary as this can brick ur tablet if done wrong, I assure you u will haveno problems if follow steps correctly and keep backup easiest way to do it is after ur rooted , read the thread and understand how it works before u modify anything

Monday 7 january im getting the htc 8x.
I have the htc desire s, but it become slow since i installed ICS.
The app that i will most miss is genie widget. Its a very very simple news pointer, but very good because it only shows the headers of my country or my language news sources. When touching the header it opens the news page.
But the best part is that i can add tabs with keywords, and then again it displays the headers of my country or my language news sources filtered by those keywords.
I love to use it on boring meetings or during waiting times.
Anyone knows any app for wf8 like this?

Nothing that has an actual widget to it since there are no actual widgets on WP8. However there are a lot of news readers you can get that are great. Just search the store when you get the phone.

I'm using Android Weather. I think it's the best of weather apps. Fast, light and exactly.
Weather tap has great radar. But I still use weatherbug as my everyday app.
:highfive:Bump on E-weather HD!! For the wealth of data it provides, $3.99 seems cheap!! Radar is the best I've seen on a device!! :good:
1Weather
Which weather app is the best... it depends what you expect from such app.
I like apps to be well designed and its very important for me... 1Weather was one of the best apps which I tried. Its very accurate, and it has additional functions, which I didnt use offten. But feel free to try it, maybe you will like it too
I agree with E-Weather HD. Great and informative weather app. Thanks for suggesting it
