I am pretty sure he said "nice looking".

Other apps you can take a look at if you want more basic file managers are....
Vanilla File Manager
Inka File manager
And if you want an app that actually looks like a stopwatch and one that works like it too..
Ultimate Stopwatch
I don't know if these are optimised for tablets, you can give em a bash though.

I doubt it as there are various 3rd party Iphone twitter apps that use push. It would be the same API.

Llama will. You can set time periods where you can turn off ringer. But you can set noisy contacts who will ignore the silence or have their own settings. And it does a ton of other things too.
Doesn't seem to work on my S3, just has one wallpaper shown on all screens even with them all configured, thanks though
Edit: fixed the problem, still a bit buggy though.
On the topic of timers, I've been a happy user of Tick! for ages. Simple UI though a little cumbersome if you want to time something over 60 minutes.
Having said that I have been using the voice-control aspect of my JB-enabled GN more and more recently "remind me to do the thing in 2 hours" is a pretty straight-forward interface really

Just a question about the YouTube app.
On my S3 I always keep screen rotation off. Don't really have a use for it. Before the update I could double tap the screen to get the bigger view, but now I can't seem to do it. Is the only way to do that is to keep screen rotation on, or is there a way I don't know?

No problem. Call me OT ;-)
Youtube app automatically rotates for me when I change the orientation of the phone from portrait to landscape and plays in fullscreen, even though the phone system setting is set to non-rotate.
Same here. Youtube's rotation is independent of system setting. Or are we reading his question wrong?
Omzz, do you mean get a bigger screen in portrait mode by double clicking? On my S3 the portrait video play size is already pretty much to the endge of the screen so how would it get bigger. See below:

Every time this thread is bumped I hope it's for Carbon.
Youtube use to have a double tap feature that would automatically show the video in full screen mode, even if your device was in portrait.
It was pretty annoying actually, since it would also auto play the movie even if the device was in portrait. I would like to see a landscape layout though with all the video data/comments on the side.

I'm finally getting myself an Android phone this Friday.
I've never had a phone with 3G before, let alone apps... so I'm finding this thread highly interesting. I'm looking forward to getting Chrome, Steam and Strava the most. I've just started working full time, so being able to check Facebook, Twitter, Joystiq and GAF on the go will be very convenient for me. I'm hoping to install CyanogenMod too since I hear it lets you tweak a lot of things (and I like to get down to the nitty gritty.) I'll most likely end up buying the Sonic CD port for android as well.

looks good to me.
I worded it wrong. I meant the full screen when you switch from portrait to landscape. I have screen rotation turned off, but it seems like it's directly linked with that setting. Once I turn it off, it won't go to landscape when I turn the phone while in the app. But when I turn screen rotation on, it starts working again.
Kind of annoying since I don't really use my phone in landscape at anytime. Checked the in-app settings and couldn't seem to find anything either :S

Old version of Youtube app disregard the system orientation setting. Now it follow the system orientation. I prefer the old way.
I wish it has a goddamn toggle inside the app setting.
Just recently came out on Android, nice 90's throwback, Hatchi!
Basically its a classic Tamagotchi. Quite faithful in its style. The iOS version has more stuff but they will bring the Android version up aswell if it sells enough.
Its only 99 cents/64p, worth it just to relive those memories and sounds.

For me it's worth it. I was already using Plex on my HTPC, so there was no additional setup involved. I use my phone to browse media when I'm home, and to play it over the internet when I'm out and about
Remote playback will depend on your ISP's upload speed, of course.
There is also this one, which is a bit more faithful to the originals I think.

If you're just browsing get Boid. Way slicker. You'll need to be on Android 4.0 and above.

Doesn't seem to support nexus 7, what's the next best alternative? Plume ?
Hehe, The iPhone version doesn't even allow you to read what was said in the background in chat. The android version is vastly superior, but I agree, far from great.

There's no extra syncing involved since most calendar apps would just read the data from the Android app itself, not from the server, so there's no setup on your part.
+1 for Business Calendar. The 4x2 weekly view widget is what I use.

Simple Calendar Widget is the one that I use, and I find it to be the best looking and easiest to customize to get it looking integrated with Android OS.
So I bought the full version, is there a way to get the current day of the month highlighted on the widget? Also just curious if there is a way to change the color of something I have planned, or can you only change the color of the calender it references?
Dear Pandora...stop being shitty on android, you have all the tools to allow users to skip/thumb up/thumb down from the notification tray . In fact, you've been able to do it since honeycomb.
I'm starting to feel the shitty app effect on android tablets. Its rather disheartning because there is so much potential with android.

A way to add variety to your stations is something that should've been added to the pandora app from the start. The only way to add anything is from their website.
