Feedr is not Feedly.

Wrong thread.
Feedr can download thousands of feeds automatically for offline viewing, with proper photo cached.
My point was that I was only dishing Feedly. I have never used Feedr, but sounds like a decent client. If I weren't completely satisfied with gReader Pro I would try it for use.

It is completely worth it though.
One thing I dont like about flipboard is that not all tiles update to images all the time. So mine ofen ends up with the generic colored backgrounds. Also, its not as intuitive to add/remove new categories.
I mean most of the time it looks like this:

Its not even a pretty brown for the front page.

Naw bro. I just downloaded Flipboard to my EVO LTE and it's a beast. I don't need 12 different things to look at, at a time. And it's soooo buttery smooth.

I think pulse is better tbh. Flipboard looks pretty but that is about it. I don't want to flip through everything one by one...
I'm looking for the same thing. TV Guide used to add series reminders to your google calendar but it doesn't anymore and hasn't been updated in quite a while. When it worked it was perfect.
It's not automatic but I just filter out the shows I watch on

And download the iCal file and import into a Google Calendar. Primitive but it works.
TV Show favs does all the tracking and syncing with To Do's etc. but no sync to calender. I love the app my self.
tv show favs? It has a nice widget. Dunno about calendar intergration.
Are there any RSS reader apps that can format and display entire articles for sites like Eurogamer that usually just have one or two sentences with a "Read more" link that opens the webpage in a browser? I hate when sites do that, it defeats the point of a mobile-formatted RSS reader in my opinion.
Who still wants to give FireFox on Android a chance?

Just tried it. Stock ICS browser still seems a lot faster and Google Mobile is ugly. See:
(Firefox left, stock right)
I'll probably have more impressions later unless I go straight back to the stock browser.

Firefox for Android devs explained this in an AMA on Reddit - something about Google using custom scripts that work on select browsers and default to stock (ugly) mobile Google for the rest. Unfortunately there's nothing they can do about it till Google makes some changes to the mobile site.

Been using Skyfire for years. Don't know how an Android user could browse on anything else.

Chrome's pretty cool bro.
long time dolphin user swapped to opera mini and love it, nice to have choices though
this, opera mini is great if limited data plan, at home with wifi i use both stock and chrome
Nova Launcher - Why? It's based on the stock ICS launcher and adds all the goodies you've come to expect from other launchers (gestures, custom icons, hide-notification-bar, transition effects, etc).
go launcher and its widgets etc are the cats pajamas
Apex Launcher. ICS Launcher, lots of features, and find it faster than Nova Launcher. You need 4.0+ though to use it, IIRC
I'll give that a shot, though I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it up, I'm so lazy.
I actually used this while he was doing the beta, I think I stopped when he went paid, maybe I'll stop being cheap and buy it.

I use Apex Launcher myself and love it!
Now that this is out:

We could only hope.
For pre-ICS I dont think there is a better option.
Listen and Music need serious work.

Hey bros. I just a got a TF300 tab today (had a Gamestop $50 gift card, and they were offering a $25 gift card with it, so I figured I might as well go for it).
What is a launcher and do I need one? Mostly I've found a few neat apps from my sister's suggestion, this thread and just searching around on the store. Also, what are some basic things I should know that might not be easily figured out? I've never even had a smartphone before.

You probably don't need one - you're looking at a launcher when you turn the thing on and unlock. After you've used the tablet for a while have a look around though and perhaps you may discover an alternative launcher that has a feature you're missing from the stock launcher
I'm running stock ICS launcher on my Nexus S phone and TF201 tablet, and I've previously run GO Launcher EX. I have found the Nexus S to be much, much snappier when not using GO.
As for what you're not figuring out - I dunno. You know about the Android Gaming thread, right? Stop all these thoughts of launchers and head over to where the fun's at

Can anyone recommend some good Android only apps? Or at least some apps that are better on Android than iOS? I just got my Galaxy Nexus and I want to try out something that'll really show off the difference between it and my iPhone.
Well I guess you can start with the whole suite of Google apps. They're infinitely better on Android than iOS. (Youtube, Gmail, etc.)
Titanium backup. Notification Toggle, Go launcher, google voice, stickit, google music, tasker, google map

Thanks for that, downloading most of those now.
If you ever get another android device or want to share with someone else who has their own device, get Data Sync.
The app basically allows you to download cloud save data really quickly. Because of this app I can in less than 10 seconds upload my game save data from angry birds to my HP Touchpad that's running Android on it and pick up where I left off. It works well for 90% of the games I have. You can also share any other file that's on your device via Wi-Fi/FTP and it supports dropbox/box.
Speaking of dropbox, you should get that because you can instantly upload your Galaxy Nexus pics to it (similar to iCloud) and have access to your pictures from any Android device your signed into via dropbox.

Added dropbox and I'm uploading 20,000 songs to Google Music.
You're going to be waiting for a while...
