probably a nicer, more tablet friendly interface with visible tabs and stuff. i'm just speculating though.

I agree that GUI for some apps should be adapted to take advantage of larger screens.

Hmm... It look very nice and works very smoothly.
Yes. Despite the fact that it is alpha.
Seems great : waiting for it
I've been waiting for PointUI 2 for months now. Seems like they're making progress, nice...
I must have it!!!!
Yes i noticed this a while back...would love to have it too!
Somehow doubt that the version seen on YouTube will be the free version Don't mind paying if worthwhile, but would want to try out full version first.

Same here.
The UI has potential, but it'll need a lot of improvement (and increased customizability!) to be more useful than TF3D.
I do like how it's much more lightweight.

[APP] G-Shotgun (Release: April 21 ...)

Hey folks!
Me and Mr. Nick are currently working on the G-Shotgun app, which is the wm equivalent to the iPhone app "Shotgun Free".
All credit for programming goes to Mr. Nick, many thanks!
I'm very happy to announce that our problem is solved and G-shotgun will be released today!
Suggestions about the graphics or future functions are still more than welcome! The app doesn't have to be exactly like the iPhone version does it?
.
there's something similar on pccgeeks (last post on page 2), but it's not so good (ugly graphics and some work to do on sensor as well). But maybe you can cohoperate with mike to release a good app

Thanks guys, but ...
Would not call the graphics ugly ... squished up a bit, but not ugly - It is a real shotgun! taken from Google images. :S - It was however the only one I could find that looked good on the small screen.
By all means if there is a better graphic, including animated pump action, I will use it and re-release!
And .. this was my first sensor app, so the sensor code was twitchy. I have since worked out better code and when I get time (the next week or so) I will re-code and release the new version.
Mike.
yes mike, you're right: with "ugly" i meant the image is not displayed as it should. That's why, seeing Shoddy shout, i thought you can work together to release a great app

sounds good to me.
I have a couple of questions though..
is your app currently working as the "Shotgun Free" app? if not, could you add the features from shotgun free to your code? Because my graphics are almost (it's supposed to) the same as that app.
and.. would you mind changing the name to "G-Shotgun"? I think it sounds better than "Virtual Shotgun" or what it is you call it.
guys, i hope you'll consider also a wvga version for us poor HD users

Yeah, but I'm sure it will in no way be as responsive and smooth as the iPhones UI and he'll be sure to mention it. Why choose a copy over the real thing.
I would think the latest Manila would be much more impressive.

i agree -- it's kinda suggesting that Apple did it better (which is what some may think, but not i) -- i even went so far as to uncheck the "Programs" tab in TF3D because i found it to be cumbersome, and use QuickMenu almost exclusively (after having remapped hardware and soft keys)

[CLOSED THREAD] HoneyComb sdk preview avialable

Just saying
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-30-sdk-preview-2d-3d-graphics-and-dual-core-support-honeycomb
First of all, WOOT!
Secondly, does anyone have any success stories of trying out the Honeycomb SDK on the G Tab?
I love how they're calling sub views fragments.
<3 Google.

+1. im downloading it now to try it on the emulator but id rather see it on my gtab
EDIT: Did i miss understand the reading? Because I don't see the honeycomb sdk "preview" in the android sdk/avd manager
EDIT2: nevermind it's there
What is the link for the Honeycomb sdk?
The Sdk can be found at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html... follow instructions to install... once you are up and running (1)install the honeycomb packages (at bottom) (2)run a virtual machine with honeycomb as the target (3) rotate head sideways... when creating the AVD I install all hardware and beef up the vm heap size, hw.ram, and sd card and its still really slow... sorry for rick rolling but it really was on clockworkmods twitter
Helloooo World!
I did a HelloWorld application and ran it in the emulator and it worked (slowly )! I am so ready for a gtab rom that will run these apks.
My first experience with Android was running it on the HTC Touch as a fully functioning emulator running from the SD card. Any chance of doing something like that with this?
If you want to rotate the emulator "ctrl f12".
Xoom might be released end of February, so who knows maybe we can get it (Honeycomb) soon. I love this forum and the people driving it.
They usually cut the release at the same time as a device that's launching with it.
(Droid/N1/NS)
I downloaded it and had a play around. It looks really cool, but really, really slow. I know it's because it is prerelease and emulated, but I wonder just how resource hungry it is on an actual tablet? I've seen the clips of the motorola xoom running it, but that is just a tech demo video it runs, not the actual thing, so I am curious about this.
Anyway, looks really good and seem quite intuitive.
Has anyone tried to pull any of the APK's out and see if any of it works with one of our ROM's
I suspect kernel and framework issues would make this unlikely. I might try here shortly, but it's not really something I have a lot of experience with.

The reason that it is slow is not because it's resource hungry, it's because the emulation of ARM devices sucks balls.

The reason it's slow is because it is pre-release. First they implement functions then comes the performance tuning.

Have you loaded a vm with a cut release? Slow as balls.
Exactly, the emulator is slow no matter it being pre-release or release. My quadcore system with lots of ram runs it the same as my dual core low ram system. Heck the virtual Ubuntu box I sometimes run on my bigger system runs it the same.

Ha Ha, I did mention both of these reasons in my post, was just wondering if it would be fast on a tablet, in it's current form... and what they would have to do to it to get it faster.

Where are the apps?

I understand that logmein is coming, but where is weatherbug? Does anyone have the xoom version? I download it from the market and it is identical to the version that I have on my DX. Is it out yet? When is it coming? Etc.
I dunno, but this is definately the place to ask.

Weatherbug for honeycomb is not out yet. Its still in beta stage and can't be downloaded.
Logmein for Android works fine for now.
I haven't had too many problems for most apps. Not ideal but they work for the moment.

Actually Logmein doesn't work at all. It won't connect to the machine. They say that they are aware and an update is coming, but no timeline as to when.

Guys, this is the first Honeycomb device that came out yesterday. The full SDK just came out 3 days ago. Its gonna take a little time before we see tablet apps. Just give it a little time! they will come.

Especially considering that Google implemented the "Fragments UI" idea in the latest SDK. From my understanding, this will allow the devs to make apps that work with both tablets and phones, where the UI will scale to different sizes for the different areas, instead of having 2 different apps.

Ok I'm gonna post a new thread devoted to this, I'm SURE someone on XDA must have found a leaked version of this beta apk, because not having it straight away is unacceptable . This is by FAR the app that I've been looking forward to with the Xoom. I'd gladly trade Flash for the next few months before the Weatherbug app! (hate me if you want, whatever)

Adding in the Fragments UI concept is only a few limited lines of code to allow scaling. Doesn't mean that the size of the apps will necessarily be any bigger. Don't forget, theres always Apps2SD
If having scalable UI means that the apps will be slightly bigger but completely functional, it's worth it.

Agreed, however this one is a different story, as it is an app that IS already in the Market, but some sort of glitch (either at the Weatherbug end or the Google end of things) isn't allowing it to be downloaded and installed. After all, as far as the Weatherbug site is concerned, this beta app *should* be fully available for download at this moment. At any rate I just sent an email in to the folks at Weatherbug as I'm quite sure they'd want to know about this so that they can communicate with Google to sort out the problem and make sure their app is fully available.
