To say you installed via PC transfer sounds like you just transferred the apk over to the tablet to it's internal memory, not actually installing it.
No, I installed it. But after I installed it, it doesn't show up anywhere on the tablet except as the apk itself in the File Manager. I've had no issues doing such things on my transformer, but their tablets are both hardcore nerfed apparently.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
You want a camera app for the front facing camera or are we talking photo editing apps?

I think Snapseed is a good photo-editing app, along with Adobe Photostop Express, I think it's called.
Can you see if you can install another apk to the tablet? It might be sideloading is completely disabled. I remember a phone on ATT was like that, but was quickly re-enabled.

I have never heard of it. Have you tried Amazon appstore, and tried a different launcher so you can access the app list from the lauchner.
Also tried one of the other alternative app stores.
If all eles fail, appchina.com
Yep. Hopefully they're working on that.

Camera launcher app. The one on the play store is pretty rough around the edges.

I emailed twice the day it came out and they replied back quickly.
Well, I used gReader before which had that option but I really like the fonts and design of Press. Either way, I don't mind paying for the app, even if I end up going back to my old reader, if Press becoming a success encourages better designed apps on Android.

Local music players with gapless playback?
Play Music by Google.

I believe Power AMP can do that.

That feature is built in to my GS3, not sure if it's part of Jellybean or not, but seems unnecessary.

it's part of Samsung's TouchWiz feature set.
AppSales.
Get Go SMS for a less bland version of messenger app. Lots of customizations, features, and themes.
You don't have to use Google Play. You can use Amazon's app store or you can install apks, but really Google Play is the most convenient. Are you not liking it?

Finally received a response from the Press devs:
Sorry for the delayed response. And thanks for all the great feedback! Quicker article navigation and background/automatic syncing are our top priority features we're working on right now. And a mobilizer view is in the plans as well. Check for improvements coming soon, and so happy you like Press!

there's no Android equivalent.
unless there was a recent change in the ToS, an app that is made free on the Play Store cannot be changed back to a paid app.

I had no idea that was the case. That sucks.

It really does. And I feel it limits a lot of exposure and potential sales that would benefit devs, Google and users, so it's a very baffling decision.
What is the official reason Google gives for this?

trying out SwiftKey right now ands its pretty awesome at catching the garbage letters and fixing them up I typed this all from SwiftKey and only had to make 2 corrections. very impressed.
Is somone using WhatsApp PLUS? It has a Holo theme and more stuff. I just heard about it.
I wonder why. At least they can put stuff on sale.
Their flow still needs some work, it has trouble with double letters for me, like "soon" always ends up as "son" and so forth. But otherwise, SwiftKey is the keyboard to beat.
Its just the way the google play store is designed. Google does stupid thing sometimes. They don't offer paid app in Taiwan due to their stubbornness.

devs can't go lower than 99 cents iirc. so if thats you price, then only Google can put it on sale.

Yes.
The full show notes? I can only see the partial notes on the feed and as far as I can tell I need to start streaming before I can see the rest.

Oh, nope. Yes, that's the exact screen I see. If you're looking for something more than that, I don't think you'll find it. Email the devs, they're fairly responsive.
Isn't the amazon app store kind of like this? A special app a day?
Some sort of New Years sale on the Playstore atm. I know GAF probably hates Cold Play, but the song Viva la Vida is free right now.
(I like that song so I grabbed it!)

Tweedle got updated:
Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handlerexploit.tweedle&hl=en
All I need is trends and I can probably use this as a replacement for the official Twitter app. Looks better than Falcon Pro too, imo.

Does anyone know a good alternative Youtube player? The one that came on my Nexus 4 is really crap, keeps crashing after a few videos. Youtube using the firefox browser doesn't work either.

Tubrmate, but it isn't on the play store.

I could never get on with or come up with a colour scheme I liked. It beats Falcon on multi-account support but otherwise I'm not totally sold...

I'm having the same problems with Dice...files that are few gb's are reported as 348mb or something. And they won't play.
Didn't pay for it...
Bsplayer plays everything fine but won't show my folders sometimes. No idea why that happens but it sucks...
