Google Currents is the new big thing from Google. It allows you to view your favorite news and media pages in a magazine style format. This runs great on Android tablets, especially the HP Touchpad! Check it out:
On the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
Saw this on Android Central, and grabbed it right away.
Ill be honest, I've been kinda neglecting my TP lately. After loading Currents and getting it set up, I didn't want to put it down.
This feels like exactly what the tablets were meant for.
Go Google!

its fairly similar to feedly though. I think i may like currents better. We'll see once the new factor wears off.
If anyone is having FC's with it, fix permissions. That fixed it for me.

Seems like some people are having issues, while others are not. Be sure to post which ROM or build version you are running so we might be able to get a handle on this.
Wow, gotta get this with all the reading and tab browsing I do. Thanks for sharing.
No rss, no ability to click links, not for me.

I'm on XRON B1.3 but moved to that from Alpha3 to see if it'd fix the problem I was having given that there have been some fixes in XRON since the latest core CM7. In both cases Currents locks up for me until I get the "Not responding. Wait/Force Close/Report" dialog. I can wait as many times as I want, but it doesn't come back. If I FC then it restarts Currents but it happens again shortly after browsing around.
I think I've seen the same behavior in Google Reader which I have installed to support the Android Pro Google Reader widget, though not nearly as frequently.
I've performed a completely clean reinstall (wipe system and data in addition to cache), and I've done the whole fix permissions and wipe Dalvik/cache partition thing repeatedly.
I'm really impressed by Currents (I also run it on my iPhone and Nook Color) and think it really makes the 10" tablet profile shine! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why it's locking up frequently on the TP.
I had the force closing problems in alpha 3 but after I switched to alpha 2 everything seems to be working fine.

using cm7 a3 and i'm getting a lot of force closes recently. it seems to be sporadic since i didn't get them at until the other day. i'm patient with the force closes since i'm really just waiting for ICS.
I'm currently using alpha 2.1 and have not had a force close on this app yet.
seems to work perfectly for me
I'm getting FCs on Currents constantly to the point where its almost unuseable. I was alpha 2, in place upgrade to alpha 3. Everything else seems stable.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
cyanogenmod alpha 3.5 has been released. anyone tried currents on that?
Im updated with new firmware.. went to reinstall the xda app and its not showing up. anyone else having this problem? I found the link to the app on the main xda page, but when I click on it, market says "no item found"
might be ICS related? i know last time i ran ICS alot of apps wouldn't show up in the market. i could be wrong though.

I can't find xda free on Play store , but did find the premium in Amazon app store so bought that and it installed fine. I am running Scrosler's rom, but I can't imagine that would have anything to do with it not working when you try to install yours.
Yeah...me neither. Dunno. I'll see what happens.

I just installed the "S Voice" that comes with the new SGS3 and it works. I found this out from this THREAD and this THREAD. It is ok and looks to work good with our device if you are running an ICS Rom. I am currently on MeanRom ICS v1.0 and it works good. Enjoy
Edit: One that should work after they tried and block us lol.

Just force closes on Sense 3.6.

Just think of it as (dare I say it) Siri. It's pretty simple and easy to use.
Click the bottom-right if you need more help or go into the settings. If I were you, I'd turn of the 'Hi Galaxy' wakeup since it's pointless having to say that every time I want to use it.
Thanks op.

Just remember that this is just the first version release of this app and it should be probably will be updated numerous times to work out all the bugs once the SGS3 is released.

tried it. it works but it's very laggy. From the moment I said "Call home" to the moment the phone actually started dialling, I had to wait about 40 seconds. A bit too long to actually make it useful.
Thanks for sharing though. Probably it will improve with time
Double tap home didn't work for me, but maybe due to sense? Couldn't get it working on AOSP ICS on Desire either though.
Trying to change wake up fc it and had to clear app data to get it working again.
It works. But as said its a bit slow to actually do the task.. tested with sms and web search

Hi everyone!
First off, sorry this is in the wrong place but since I've just joined I can't post on the thread that I want to.
I've got an evo 3d GSM and I have an app called blippar, I tried to use it today but found it didn't work. Then I went into my camera and got a message saying cannot connect to camera. The only way to get it working again is to restart my phone. I haven't tried this with other apps that use the camera as I don't have any.
If antler can help me out that could be great.
Here's the link to the rom I'm running

as best as I can tell blippar's broken in pretty much every way possible... and it seems to hog the camera for all the other apps when it force closes.
of the top of my head I know that Google Goggles works just fine in continuous mode, but is buggy with snapshots, also i know that QR Barcode Scanner works just fine.
as far as CM10, the only CM10 port worth mentioning at this point for the E3D GSM is agrabren's Disarmed Toaster, which in it's last iteration (namely 1.6) doesn't have a working camera or camcoder to begin with so i imagine no camera using apps work.
hope this helps
Thanks that helps a lot! Is he still working on the roms? If so how often are they updated?

yes, he is still working on his CM10 at the moment, with 0.2.0 to be released pretty soon.
the update frequency sorta depends on what the major issue is, as well as his schedule.
You can find the list of features and many many other things on agrabren's thread:

Swipe to wake.
Instead of using the power button you can wake the device up by sliding your finger over the softkeys(menu>back>search>back the combo depends on the kernel implementation)

S2W is a feature found in some of the EVO 3D kernels, it allows you to slide from one end of the capacitive keys to the other to wake the phone and the opposite way to make it sleep.

Anyone received the update for Maps on stock os? I am showing that I'm up to date with version 6 but think version 7 is out.
I read somewhere that they are rolling it out slowly to everyone. Actually it mentions that in the Play store for Google maps.

Had it on my work phone, bone stock 4.5.605.14 OTA ROM with lots of stuff disabled... It works, but it is very slow, laggy, and jittery, but aside from that, lots of functionality seems gone or more difficult to use, such as the Measure Lab add-in is gone that I used frequently, in fact all Lab add-ins are gone. I removed it and side-loaded version 6.14.4 back in and everything was wonderful again.
Jitters on new maps
Some, if not everyone, of us have seen the jumping of the screen in the new maps. I have found that if you use Expanded Desktop (if your ROM supports it) the map jumping goes away. Objects that overlay on the screen, like the search, or addresses, etc...seems to have a flutter, but the map itself does not jump around.
i thought of trying this because I noticed that when the screen jumps, it would move just about the that same amount as the size of the status bar. Other times the map would show through the status bar, so without the status bar, things work much better. Not a fix, but workaround if you do not want to downgrade.
Not sure if this is helpful to anyone with the mindset and skills to dig deeper, but wanted to share.
I'm on the latest Infection with that maps release. I had to pick up my wife's sister on my way home from work and she was in a part of town that I don't know so I had to use maps. It was jumping around like crazy. So I hit home button the went into developer settings and disables hw overlays. It instantly stopped jumping around during that session. At end though when I was going through menu it started acting weird. But the twenty minutes I was using the navigation it was fine. Oh and I heard about the hw overlay fix somewhere in the infection thread I believe.

Yea still jumps around. Maps it better with the new update but navigation is just as bad. Still going to use the previous version till it improves.
