Youtube app fixed - now the fullscreen button works! - Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps

Hi guys, today Google released an uptate to Youtube which fixed the fullscreen button from not appearing when the tablet is docked. I created this thread so that the people that are preventing the app from updating know that that is no longer necessary.
Finally Google!

Thanks. I know this is unrelated and perhaps a stupid question, but how does one see the full title of a video on Youtube when it doesn't fit under the video?

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Sony tablet style separation in app drawer

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked already but i was wondering if there is a mod available which enables separation within the app drawer?
It's native on the Sony tablet but not on the prime as far as i can see.
Any info would be great thanks.
How about describing what this is/does. I don't have a Sony, so don't know what you are talking about. But, if described, I may know of an app that does it.

[Q] Animated gifs run terrible

I filmed my TFP, an ipad 3, a Galaxy S and a Galaxy Nexus running the same animated GIF here:
http://youtu.be/gKgtA8DUH6k
The prime was freshly rebooted and is currently running Virtuous .21 @ 1.6 GHz. What am I doing wrong with this thing? I've tried everything I can think of to get this thing to run smoothly (this isn't limited to animated gifs, its just very apparent with them) Am I really supposed to accept that a 2 year old single core phone can outperform this tablet? Help!
its software, not hardware. Try using a different program to open the gif, what are you using now? (If you say the stock browser im gonna slap you through the computer screen)
Oh, and a link to the gif would be nice.
I don't have any problem with this gif on my transformer prime

Same setup rom wise, and apart from a little lag from switching apps, mine runs ok
No problems on my end either. Downloaded the gif. Viewed through QuickPic result smooth as butter. The title of your video...
" Asus Transformer Prime fails at animated gifs. " Is far from the truth.. Not sure how your getting that lag though. Could be what your using to play the gif

found the gif in the youtube video, plays flawlessly on my prime, using quickpix instaed of the default gallery. Running stock .21
From the youtube video I would say your running stock browser and that's the problem.
I tested the gif in a few different browsers and the only one that had problems was also stock for me.

Yes it's the stock browser. It's also the stock browser on the g nexus and the galaxy s which is why I included them in the video.
And sorry for not hiding my disgust and disappointment with this thing in the video title. Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the video.

I know what you mean.
I came from a Nook Color to the Prime and the performance on the Nook was better sometimes lol.
But hopefully the new update will fix this.

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.
Facebook stinks on this tablet....even on any browser it lags ...also u cant video chat from browser like pc

Facedroid is pretty sweet
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.

Live Extra updated 7/25

i have uploaded the live extra olypic app from nbc. I DL'd it on my DINC2 -->titanium backup--->extract---->install on my ATP. it works decent, every now and again it goes slow-mo. a quick home screen press and recent app open seens to fix. i have read that it is a tegra 3 issue.

You should change the topic to be more descriptive.
You can download the app here:
NBCOlympics.com
People searching for this know that the app is flagged as incompatible. I you cannot download it from nbcolympics as it just provides a play store link

Interesting app. It does ask who your TV provider is and made me log in to my FiOS account.
An Olympics fan with a Prime who doesn't have an android device will appreciate your sharing of the app.
After reading how you did it, I did it for myself to my phone from the market, then used Root Explorer to find air.com.nbcuni.com.nbcsports.liveextra-1.apk in /data/apps. Then I sent it to my cloud storage so the Prime can access it. Works just like you said.

It works great. I simply downloaded the APK...
It's a shame that they don't support Tegra 3......
It says I don't have a subscription. Is there anything I can do about that? I don't have MSNBC I don't think. All I have is dish network kids pack. I REALLY want to watch the Olympics!

When I try to install the first time I get an error message saying something like "There was a problem parsing this package." Then I tried it a second time, and the install worked, but it keeps going into slow motion. Any idea why?
I'm on a stock transformer prime.
The slow motion that happens after the first few seconds of video playback can be worked around by pressing your home button. Then, open the recent programs and go back to Live Extra. The video will play back fine.

Best Weather app for TF300T?

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.
