So uh, do you have any work arounds? The app is pretty cool, I definitely agree.
I will say a little that I am disappointed with how limited note-taking apps are available. That is, perhaps though I am not searching in the right way. I want to update soon enough with either a work-around or better alternative!
OP, great idea. Hope you update it soon and often!

Not sure if some are bothered by the Amazon Mobile app for N10 not official.
Not sure if anyone has thought of trying, but you can go to Amazon.com and download the amazon app store and login and then you can download Amazon mobile easily and it works and looks great.

#1 GMD Gesture control. I'm surprised this app hasn't been mentioned. Does the Nova launcher premium upgrade bring the same multi-touch gesture fu. tionality? For me this is the essence of a tablet..... do about everything with various sreen taps/swipes. iOS figured this out but GMD does it better.
Distant second, third, fourth, etc.
Solid Explorer: Great file manager.
Titanium Backup: Very useful, especially with constant ROM changes or updates.
QuickOffice: Best office app I've come across. I hope they're as dedicated to the android version as they are to iOS, cause it's by far the best on that platform.
Apps I want:
PDF readers. I've purchased everything and they need LOTS of improvement. Rendering speed, full text library searching, large or full page thumbnail previews. It's all missing.
Better google reader apps. I spend multiple hours with Google reader every day and nothing even comes close to Reeder on iOS (even other iOS apps). Freely and gReader are OK, but I'd really like something better.
Note taking apps: Vector drawing, ever note sync, magnified writing input. haven't found that yet.
Sorry if I sound critical. I love android and hope the market will mature, but some of the basic functionality that you can find on iOS is sorely lacking. I hate Apple, but they've attracted some top-notch developers in their app store. i'd happily pay 5x the price to have some of those apps on android cause it's such a superior platform (for my needs at least).

I'd suggest you abandon this thread and base one in the Dev forum where the "iron fist" rules can apply.
IMO, this unmoderated sub-forum is going to have your thread go to hell ...

I agree but the same iron fist would keep this out of the dev section because there is no development happening.
If the mods feel like it should be in the dev then someone please move it

Are you doing a pre or post ICS? For me, I will wait for ics to come out before rooting. Then ill play with ICS heavily before adding a ROM.
-Over clocking all 4 cores to 2ghz a piece, if possible. For some serious horse power to compete with newer tablets coming down the road. Of course needs to be stable or doesn't overheat n melt the device..lol
-some sort of uploader for native browser or even compatible with 3rd party browser. For ex. Safari on my iPad couldn't upload or download on stock setup. With jailbreak n Cydia, I have safari downloader, which enables download manager in native browser, and safari uploader. Which allows me to upload something thru the browser by accessing device files. Ex. I go to a site I need to upload resume. I just click on upload link on page, then it accesses my files. Then I search for resume, click on it , and proceed to upload.
-Some sort of futuristic theming around Transformer prime, movie or whatever. Completely changes the look up to a more high tech device.
-optimize and increase camera/video quality even more, if possible. I know it's already good, but could be a way to raise MP rating through software adjustments.
-an app like g power, available from Cydia for JB iPad. I double tap the top of screen(through activator) and it brings up quick menu to power down, reboot, or respring(if that applies to android). Or maybe just subtle gestures to access important features of device or apps.
-make skype and any other video chat apps that don't work with prime, work
-Tegra 3 supports 3d. Maybe make a way to enable 3D mode, with or without 3d glasses.
-see if any ways to optimize/beef up the gpu even more.
-maybe a way to download and install IOS tablet apps/games through an emulator or some other way. So we have access to even more apps, especially since IOS tablet only apps far outnumber androids.
-dual boot capabilities , possibly windows
-hack pad tool set..lmao
-a special feature, cybertron mode, that whenever Prime is in vicinity of an IOS device, we can disable and shut it down. Then we go over n show off how cool the prime is and enable that device to run run again. Showing that we can amd did, fix the device wirelessly or if you want it completely disabled for life, so be it.
Just throwing stuff out there, I'll update this post as I come up with more ideas.

I'm sure that people will overclock it, but I don't think we need it at this point considering that even with stock, the TFP will likely annihilate anything currently out. It won't have to compete with any other tablets for a long time.

Many phone/tablet ROMS can already do this; all you have to do is hold the power button to bring up the menu.

Completely impractical. iOS is not open source like Android, and even ignoring Apple coming down on anyone that attempts to do it, the architecture for the two are completely different, so even emulating it isn't something that can be done. At the risk of exaggeration, building a rocket to the moon sounds more plausible.

Someone will do it eventually, I think.
Suggestion or aquestion of viability since I have no idea what you can really do developing a rom.
Some sort of "stylus mode" where large touches from your palm don't get registered and mess up your writing for all those apps that using a stylus is nice but don't have palm recognition.
There's something i think fits both transformer tablets perfectly: A native android IDE. Developing for Android and testing it in the same tablet you're coding on the fly. No need for an additional device.
As far as ROMs go.... i still don't have the prime so i can't see what should be changed
+1 on the stylus mode.
usb support. I'll try to explain. whatever needs to happen to make the usb adapter work like a "real" usb port like on the Iconia A500. I wanna use flash drives and the remote control dSLR app to controll my camera. If that isn't already built into ICS.
Not too crazy on the tweaks. I've noticed the more tweaks in cooked roms the more custom problems there are.
Glad you're starting early.

NVM my last post.......what HE said....
tried to deodex the system, but im getting really wierd errors.. i htink its honeycomb related buttt.
Is it possible to have a four finger swipe function on the ROMs for the transformer to switch recent applications or to look at the recent apps like the iOS? i.e. As was previously asked gesture based OS would be pretty nice..
Also possibility of overclocking and undervolting, mainly the companion core for the background tasks which might improve the response further.. It is pretty good in comparison to old tablets from what the demos show but I guess bumping up the 500MHz 5th core could possibly help mundane tasks?
GPU improvements would be absolutely great- as previously mentioned..
Also perhaps a possibility of changing color saturation on the screen (in addition to the already present brightness- akin to settings on laptop GPUs)?
I see from a lot of demo photos in review sites that the camera gives a slightly reddish tinge to the photos- in comparison to the photos from Galaxy tab- it will be great to have some sort of a s/w fix to improve the quality..
As mentioned before, stylus mode would be very nice..
Possibly some sort of audio processing (like beats audio processing on the HTC sensation android revolution ROMS)..
i would say make a couple themes for it now but mainly study the ICS source code so that when it lands on the prime you can make the best ROM's possible and release them quicker. but im all for a windows 8 theme as long as it truly looks like windows 8 which im not sure if you can do without a launcher but i think windows 8 if it's good will finally convince me to switch from mac

A transformer silhouettes or style theme (doesn't have to contain pictures of the primes or what not) or maybe a 2 tone theme of cybertron very stylized so it's clean and slick.
Excuse me if there are themes like this out already (regardless I would like to do so 2 tone art work) and I would like some old school transformer sound bytes in there for transitions. I'm envisioning more of a theme of what a computer UI would look like on cybertron or to a transformer and not just a generic cartoon theme. =)
I thought we could list useful apps we've installed, and a quick summary of why. While browsing the Market I see a lot of comments "doesn't work with X", so I figured since we are blazing a new trail with our Notes we can save each other some aggravation and list ones we've found that definitely work.
Missed Message Flasher by TomatoX. Calendar only gives you one notification of an upcoming appointment, this lets you get multiple notifications until you stop it. Works for missed calls, texts, calendar and many others. I found the test notification in the setup does NOT work, but it does work for a real appointment. Haven't tried it with texts, calls yet. Edit 2/21, so far it doesn't appear to work with texts, let me know if you find otherwise. May try other options tonight. Edit 3/5, I'm still not sure I'm getting repeated notifications for anything other than calendar items, still testing.
Opera Mobile by Opera. Can't stand that the built-in browser can't identify as a desktop browser, but Opera Mobile can.
GPS Status & Toolbox by EclipSim. Nice real-time verification of all of your GPS stats, accelerometer, level, compass. Nice bonus, shows battery stats too (temp, %).
HotSpot Toggle by Mehdy Bohlool. One-click activation of the wifi hotspot. A little annoying that it doesn't line up with the other icons on the home screens, but it works.
XiiaLive Lite by Visual Blasters. For streaming ASX/WMA. I have a lifetime Internet account with SiriusXM. The sound quality from XiiaLive is much better than the SiriusXM app - the bit rate from the Sirius app is awful. I'm using this with a free online service called MusicDock. Use their "Windows Mobile" site (mentioned at the bottom of their home page) along with this app and you are golden.
Equalizer by Smart Android Apps. Simple, but works to modify the audio output, including on Blutooth.
Added 2/22
Battery Indicator by Darshan Computing. Same as Battery Percentage but is half the size (1/2 MB vs. 1 MB) and is easier to read IMO. No way to modify the stock indicator w/o rooting, so for now I'm using this instead.
CPU Spy by storm717. Very small. Lets you see how much time your CPU spends in each speed, including how much time it sleeps. If your battery is draining quickly this will let you see if it is ever sleeping.
Added 2/29
Word Feud by Berthussen IT. Scrabble-like game.
Added 3/05
AirDroid by SAND Studio. Way better than Keis Air - ability to transfer files, txt messaging, etc via wifi.
Music Volume EQ by K & K Design. Works well, autostarts, includes features other than just a basic EQ.
AndroSensor by Fiv Asim. Displays outputs and current draw from all of the sensors in the Note, including barometer.
Added 3/13
Screen Filter by haxor industry. Much more effective than using Dimmer (listed below). Allows you to dim just as much as you want, or as little as you want. So you can go really dark at let's say 20%, or if you just think the stock auto-brightness is a little too bright, you can permanently apply a 75% filter to dim it down just a little and still let the auto feature do its job. I'm currently trying that. Only problem is as you get to the really dark settings you get a noticable gray coloration to the whole screen - minor and an acceptable trade-off. You can set up multiple home screen shortcuts for multiple settings. Can work along with Dimmer but it is pointless, I just uninstalled Dimmer.
Added 3/23
Screen On by Konstantinos Polychronis. Keeps the screen on for selected apps, or when charging. For instance, Google Maps where you don't want the screen to turn off (and loose your position). This is a tentative recommendation - at first it was flaky (didn't keep the screen on) for some apps but seems to be better after rebooting. I'll report back after a while. After selecting your applications from the list don't forget to enable the application with the checkbox in the upper left corner.
Calendar Snooze by Bitfire-development. Adds lots of snooze options to calendar notifications, more initial notification options and more reminder notification options. I still use Missed Message Flasher for text and Google Talk, but I turned off reminders for calendar in MMF and use Calendar Snooze instead. Mostly because it allows you to set a pattern for vibrate instead of having just one long vibration. I notice it better when it pulses several times.
Added 4/9
Increasing Ring by sashomasho. Increases the volume of your ringer and/or clock alarm, so you can start off completely silent or nearly silent and increase the volume over time. Gives you a chance to grab your phone and answer or reject a call without it blaring at top volume on the first ring. Note that it increases the volume based on your current ring setting so make sure you turn your ring volume below full volume or it will appear that the app isn't working.
Can recommend but don't use anymore
Dimmer (Night Mode) by geekyouup. One-click ability to dim your display as far as it will go. The stock brightness slider will only take you to "30", this takes you to "10". A noticeable difference especially in a dark room. Screen Filter (listed above) works much better and is more versatile so I removed this app.
Can no longer recommend
Equalizer by Smart Android Apps. Would randomly stop modifying the audio stream even though the app was still listed in the task manager. Also had to re-start after every reboot. Found another equalizer (listed above) which doesn't have either problem. Also I think it sounds better.
SiriusXM Internet Radio by SiriusXM Radio Inc. Doesn't let you force a specific quality, and found an aftermarket solution (listed above) which sounds much better.
Battery Percentage & Temp by Global Developers Adds a battery percentage display as a permanent notification. Battery Indicator (above) is easier to read and the app is half the size of this one.
Please list your own useful apps...
Good list, although this probably belongs in the Galaxy Note Themes and Apps forums.
Some other adds:
Skitch - Evernote add-on that supports sketching. A lot like S Memo, but it has a bit deeper integration with Evernote if you're using that.
iAnnotate Lite - Download from the Samsung App Store to ensure Galaxy Note compatibility. Great tool for marking up PDFs.
Currents - Works great on the Note. The bigger screen really lets you take advantage of the magazine-like layout similar to what you see on a tablet.
I'll add Sketchbook (Mobile) to the list. Pro is still tablet only.
Also, Fruit Ninja and Spirit HD, both of which I've found are great with the S-Pen. The latter locked up and crashed last I played, though; not sure if this will be a recurring issue. EDIT 2/22 - Skip Spirit HD for now. The crashing is consistent, closing the app after two or three levels every time.
I had to side-load the Amazon App store so that I could get my copy of Swift Key X keyboard.

Yup, and it works great too. A must have for the Note for me.
Friendcaster Pro and TweetCaster Pro are indispensable for me as well.

Likewise. I use Tweetcaster Pro, a lot better than all of the twitter app out there.
I use Mr. Number for blocking spam / private / blocked numbers. But for some reason the app thinks I'm not in the US, hence why I'm having issues with it at the moment but it's still working regardless.
Streamzoo / MyTubo - for picture editing. Not close to instagram but it does the trick.

It's the tablet version, a separate purchase in the market. It may still be on sale, though.

Lol.....indeed.
Made a few updates to my list.
For anyone that uses a bluetooth headset and is tired of pocket dials, Proximity Service works well to keep the screen off while in the pocket. It takes a bit to get used to it with regard to how you work with the device, but it is less of of an issue with the Note than it was with my LG Optimus.
I realize everyone has different preferences, and choices in apps, but these are the ones I prefer. This isn't a complete list, either, but just what I feel is important enough to put on this list before I go to bed.
Customization
GO SMS Pro - If I'm not going to use the stock HTC messaging app, this is the one I'd use.
Swiftkey 3 Keyboard - If I was going to use a non-HTC keyboard, this is the one I'd use.
Ultimate Rotation Control - If you want the homescreens or any other app to be able to rotate or stop rotating, this is the app to handle that. It doesn't even require root! (thanks to junkmail9)
Productivity
ColorNote - Keep notes organized by color, which can be backed up in the cloud or to the SD card.
Gas Buddy - Find the cheapest gas near you.
Utilities
AirDroid - Wirelessly manage your files and apps from your computer's browser.
DICE Player - Plays just about any video you can throw at it.
Flashlight - Stock HTC flashlight that wasn't included in our phone for whatever reason. (thanks to downsouthballa) (ATTACHED)
Google Chrome - Good browser, but still has some bugs.
GPS Test - Find out how long it takes for your GPS to lock onto satellites.
HTC Calibrate - Ensure your screen is calibrated properly. (thanks to Andybones) (ATTACHED)
RealCalc Plus - Great calculator for just about any use; much better than our broken stock calculator.
Root Explorer - Even without root, this is still hands-down the best on-device file browser I have encountered.
WiFi Analyzer - Discover the best wireless channel for your router to use.
Games
Dead Trigger - Fun zombie game. Play it!
Widgets
Beautiful Widgets - Some interesting widgets, if you like that stuff.
HD Widgets - More interesting widgets, slightly cheaper.
Very nice list, IceDragon59. Here's my list;
Customization
Swype Beta - I've tried several swyping keyboards, and I like this one best. You do need to sign up for the beta, but it works well. However, the built-in HTC voice to text is vastly superior.
Ultimate Rotation Control - Can selectively choose which programs to force, including just the homescreen.
Productivity
DropBox - Was originally hesitant to use, but it makes moving files/pictures from phone to work computer so much easier and faster than emailing each one, or plugging in a USB cable
Business Calendar - Much better calendar than the built-in. The widget is great for seeing what's coming up at a glance.
Utilities
SMS Backup and Restore - Had a problem with OG Dinc randomly losing text messages. This automatically backs them up. Free add-on will also upload to DropBox automatically as well.
AutoSave MMS - Automatically saves any picture sent via text to a location you specify on your SD Card.
RealCalc Plus - I know IceDragon59 already listed this one, but it's worth repeating. This is a great calculator.
ES File Explorer File Manager - Root Explorer was my only choice while rooted, but ES File Explorer also supports FTP, Dropbox and other online storage solutions.
LTE OnOFF - Sure it says "Thunderbolt" in the name, but it works fine on the Dinc4g. Allows you to force radio modes, depending on your need. It also helps to immediately get back to 4G LTE when your radio drops to 3G or 1X and you know you're in a 4G area.
My Coffee Card Pro - If you're a Starbucks regular, this is better than the official app.
Games
Very subjective area. Games come and go quickly on my phone. About the only constant is Pitch .
Widgets
Battery Widget - Because I miss my circle battery indicator cooked up in the Kitchen...
Besides Business Calendar listed above, all of the other widgets I use are the built-in HTC widgets.

I have an LTE widget I was given to by someone, it's not sized for our phone though , it goes from LTE to 3g mode, (u can set it to w.e, like say LTE to GSM mode)
if anyone knows any m10 stuff and wants to try and re-size this for us that would be great!
it works 100% fine its just too big, and m10 is beyond my knowledge.

If you are a network administrator, try Fing
also, TeamViewer is great for remote computer control.
do you have any issues with fing constantly running in the backround? a lot of later reviews are complaining about that...
honestly i haven't paid much attention, I'll check it out today and see what happens
i see a couple of you are using the ultimate rotation tool... any issues with it on your phone? i installed it about a week ago and have had to do 3 battery pulls since due to the screen being unresponsive. it's always happened when i receive a text or phone call (the screen wakes up to tell me i have a call or text but i can't do anything). the power button will turn the screen on and off but that is absolutely it. i have to pull the battery to force it to reboot and recover...
EDIT - just to followup, i've removed this app from my phone and things are back to normal. so i'm 99% sure this app was the cause. i really liked what it could do - but it's not worth the bugs.

I actually only used it for a day and didn't care for it, but several people from the community were interested in it, so I posted it in my recommended apps. I didn't have any issues with it in the day that I used it, though.
It caused mine to be less sensitive, sometimes unresponsive to motion, the g sensor calibration tool didn't fix it either, but after uninstalling it and a reboot. Rotate worked fine. I miss Cyanogenmod.

You should give these two apps a try.
Hacker's Keyboard.
Price: Free, also available at the F-Droid Repository.
No matter what keyboard I try I keep coming back to this one, it has everything I wanted. Has been around for a while too.
It's a keyboard with the basic aosp gingerbread keyboard, and a full computer like qwerty keyboard. The arrow buttons always being their is convenient too. There are themes with this app, Examples Gingerbread and, ICS.
JuiceDefender:
Price: Free with limited functionality, $1.99 for plus, $4.99 for ultimate
Old, but still more efficient than other power saving apps I tried, and still works.
Good on 4G LTE Phones like this, also good on apps that use the internet only for advertisements because it has app control settings. It's harder to control power saving, without root, and there's barely any control on stock Allows you to turn off the data automatically when screen is off (I prefer this, with custom app settings). There 5 presets, Balanced, aggressive, extreme, advanced, I prefer customize.
Some settings like CPU Frequency Scaling require root though.

Hey everyone. Today I released a new version of my app, Tablified Market HD and I'd really like for you guys to check it out.
Tablified Market HD is the largest database of Android tablet apps. It is a curated list of apps that have been specifically designed to take advantage of the screen real estate of your tablet.
We've completely revamped this version with a brand new Holo interface. We replaced the aging list view with a beautiful, snappy grid view-similar to what the Google Play store offers. The UI itself was inspired from the Google Now cards.
We add apps constantly. Featured graphics are changes out every couple weeks and apps are added every 1-2 days depending on what we find. Remember, if developers don't make tablet apps, we have nothing to add.
I hope you enjoy my app!
Here's what's in version 4.5.8
Complete user interface overhaul!
[NEW] sliding navigation drawer for 7" tablets
[NEW] holo icons thanks to Holo Icon Pack
[NEW] better portrait layout for 10" tablets
[NEW] roboto font
[NEW] quick access to youtube videos
[NEW] screenshot gallery with swiping!
[NEW] lots of apps!
[FIXED] youtube videos bug
[FIXED] Slow load speeds between app pages
[FIXED] Missing download buttons for some apps
[FIXED] Crash on phones when searching
Coming soon:
-replace small buttons for navigation

(I can imagine I will)
Keep up the great work, really appreciate the hard work that goes into the apps I use.
Just what is needed, thanks!
I just got my Nexus 10 on Friday. I've already used your app quite a bit, and have been very happy. Not sure what the UI was like before, but the current UI is great. I'm ashamed to say I haven't rated it in the Play Store yet, but I will.
Re: Tablified Market HD - Largest, most organized database of tablet apps
Heads up guys, we pushed out a new update.
We cleaned up the UI a bit. They resemble more like the Google Now cards a bit more. But the biggest addition was the Just For Kids section. We hand picked the best apps for your children. We will be adding more soon.
Thanks

Why is the "next page arrow" so small in your app? Isn't this for tablets? Your UI should be more intuitive. The arrow is about 1mm x 1mm. Even on my nexus 10's big ol screen, it hard to hit that button. Doesn't make much sense.

We're going to be implementing an elastic scrolling feature soon. That way when you scroll to the bottom, it automatically pulls up the next page of apps. We actually had this in place but it broke the layout when adding new content so now we need an alternative.
I'm a little surprised that your app only needs 1 or 2 ratings to be considered a 'best rated app'. Listed right beside apps that have 5,000 ratings of 5 stars. (example 'tapestry' higher has 1 rating of five stars and 'ZArchiver' has 5,806 5 star ratings but are both listed in 'best rated free apps'.

Not sure what you're referring to. Could you clarify? Thanks.
Okay I see what you're saying. We did not set minimum on how many ratings it should have to be in that category. I'll look into that. Good catch.

quick response, I'm impressed as heck! Good program, when the updates address the few items I have seen mentioned here, then it is going to be one of the better apps! A much smoother feel than searching direct on Google Play.. looks like it has a larger app database? (other regions... it appears)
Thanks!

MiLauncher for Tablets
I'm proud to announce the overhaul of the MIUI Launcher for Tablets.
It's been a very long time since I've updated the project, as when I left it, (due to not owning a tablet any more) I believed that it was working as I had intended on Tablets, sadly, as of Android 4.3 that was no longer the case.
With the release of Android 4.4 I obtained another tablet and decided to update the project. This is the result of my work, my research and the help of a few others, who will be mentioned below.
Please, provide feedback, hit thanks, and most importantly, enjoy it. Please understand that this is currently in beta, the bugs that it currently contains are all small graphical quality of life ones, and I'll be getting right on those.
As someone who is studying full time, please understand that I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll do my best to update this regularly and respond to any concerns or issues you may have.
I do not give permission for my work to be redistributed, direct linked or posted anywhere else other then XDA-developers.com or en.miui.com forums. Anyone who shares this must post a link to this thread and give credit.
Landscape Mode Only - Persistent for the moment.
Grid Sizing Options;
-6x6
-7x5
-8x5
-8x6
Pretty MIUI Icons
Various Transition Effects
Hide apps from your home screen and make their access pin protected!
MIUI Widgets
MIUI Theme Market
Android 2.3-4.4 support
Code:
Beta 1:
31st March 2014
Initial re-release
Based off MiHome 2.22.0
Resolved an issue where the launcher would not open on Android 4.3 and 4.4 devices
Not really a ton to say as of yet
They're probably a little giant, brace yourself.
Bug or Graphical Issue / Work around
Beta 1:
The weather clock 4x2, Clock 2x1 and Clock 2x2 do not appear graphically correct on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices.
In the Launcher Settings -> Launcher: There is text that does not appear in english.
>This is the Hide Apps With a Pin Function.
Static Wallpapers seem blurred when using this launcher on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices, not sure if this is device specific or not, Live Wallpapers Seem to Work Fine.
There is text that does not appear in english in the themes market
Obviously as the market stuff is server side, I can't change that, however there may be a few local images > Pending further investigation.
MIUI Express Locker is terribly scaled, low res and buggy
> Disable Express Locker, which is stated in the install instructions anyway.
This is something I'm still looking into and I'm not sure if I can fix it, generally it's about as buggy and slow as most lock screen replacements anyway,
not sure if they've improved that from the last time I used MiHome on a phone > Pending further investigation.
If you have an issue be it graphical or performance based, the first step is to make sure it isn't a bug from your rom,
if you've excluded that possibility, post in the main thread, for me to be able to do anything with it, you must include;
Code:
Your Device Name
Your Android Version
Your Current Rom
Your Device DPI
Version of this Launcher
The problem.
If you haven't followed the install instructions below, don't expect me to do anything to resolve your issue until you do.
Part 1:
Download and Install MiHome-Step1.apk
Once the launcher loads slide up from above the nav bar and hit "Launcher Settings."
Scroll down the options until you find "Cell Layout Type"
Hit it and select the option that suits your device best
Please choose wisely because you'll need to re-install the app to change this.
Part 2
Download and Install ZSC.mihome.BX.apk, (X being the latest version number)
You will be prompted to update MiHome, obviously confirm it.
Once MiHome loads, you may or may not notice a rather mangled looking clock widget.
I am aware of this and for the moment, delete it.
Head into launcher settings, if you don't have a physical menu button look in the next section.
Hit the "Lockscreen" option, uncheck "Use MiHome Locker",
this is the lockscreen replacement Xiaomi includes with the launcher.
It doesn't play well with larger screens or landscape as of the moment
Optional But Very Recommended
If you do not have a physical menu key,
long press an empty part of the screen and hit the "Toolbox" icon.
Select the "Launcher Settings" icon on the far right.
You'll see the icon is on your home screen, open the settings.
Hit the "Launcher" option, look down at the last option "Choose Swipe Up Gesture Function"
Hit it and select the last option "Swipe up to open Menu."
Now you can view all your options by sliding up from above the nav bar again!
If your transitions seem slow, or strange when changing home pages,
Head into "Launcher Settings", Hit Launcher
Hit "Screen Transition Effects" and select something other than "Classic",
This is optional, but Classic looks silly and makes the launcher seem less fluid.
It may also appear strangely on some devices.
Beta 1:
Step 1 - Refer to the Instructions
Step 2 - Refer to the Instructions
Code:
I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device, but I highly doubt anything will.
What's with the lockscreen?
Needs to be disabled unless you want a terribly blurry and upscaled lock screen.
I am not a fan of MIUI, but still wanted to test this out.
I just wanted to say, seemed stable, smooth and quick, except when opening folders, seemed to take IMO too long, but otherwise great start
Epiiiic thx alot
how do you rearrange the icons in alphabetical order?
Unfortunately I will no longer be updating this project as I am still quite sick and it works as intended for Tablets.
Can you update it to the newest version of miui launcher because it has had quite a bit of updates since you released this. Otherwise great job I love miui awesome though not having an appdrawer is a little inconvenient on a tablet.

Will take a look around in it and upload at a later date. Check back occasionally.
Would also appreciate an update at your earliest convenience
Any updates?
And is it posible to use MIUI V5 for tablets and MiHome for smartphones at the same time?
Public Service Announcement ♥
Howdy Everyone! Zerosuit Connor here,
For the past six months I've been very unwell and without an android device, but just recently I managed to obtain another tablet and I long for the sweet taste of MIUI. That's why I'm pleased to announce that I'll be updating this project with Android 4.4 support and a few fixes, so please look forward to that.
A little under a month ago I locked the downloads, by changing the public permissions, and I put the wrong type of privacy setting on the files. Meaning, that because of my mess-up, anyone with the links could send an email through Google drive and directly to my account. Because of the high volume of emails I got, I decided to leave the links like that to see what kind of demand there still was. This was the result.
In regards to the downloads being locked, that was due to a large number of sites either; direct linking to the download, or re-uploading it. The worst part about this was that many did not give me credit, and others took the credit for themselves. All of the formerly mentioned misdoings were against my wishes, and despite what was written on my original post and numerous warnings from myself, many of them still continued. I am sorry that you've all had to suffer because of this.
Thank you for your continued support, and I'll keep you posted! Within the next 1-2 days I'll be back with a few questions about the kind of devices you own! ♥

Hi. I'm just curious. It has now been almost 10 days and there's no news from you. So what's up?

Should be ready very shortly, as of the moment I'm on the fence about uploading what I've got now, and branding it as a beta, or polishing it and having everyone wait a little longer. OP will be updated further in a few hours.
As for a little preview of what you have to look forward to.
Updated, new overhauled version posted. Please thoroughly read the Original Post and Instructions. Thankyou.
Hi,
Just receive my Nexus 10 today. I will try that this evening. I'm a fellow user of MIUI on my Nexus 4 and love MIUI launcher.
Thanks for your work.
