Anybody suggest a good wallpaper app for the Xoom? - Xoom Themes and Apps

So I've tried what some have suggested which was HD Wallpapers from the market but it doesn't seem to work on the xoom. I'm hoping someone has a suggestion or two

Open the app in portrait and you'll be fine. I've been emailing the developer and he knows about the bug and he's releasing an update.

Youtube updated

I was looking for something in the app market and happened to run across this. Looks like a new update for Youtube. Seems like a little smoother interface and bit more finger friendly. Just figured I'd share!
The native YouTube app? Or are you talking about a 3rd party one?
I ask because I'm not getting an update notification. Since its one of my most used apps I'm definitely interested in any new improvements
The native app. I didnt get a notification for it either but it's def a different verision then what I had before. Try searching for it in the market.
I think it may be for 2.2 only.

I'm running Cog Beta 5.5. Which is 2.2.
But, it looks like it is completely separate than the YouTube app which comes pre installed on the captivate. Just downloaded, and so far I like it.
Here's the Appbrain
EDIT: It also allows you to edit the SafeSearch controls. Which I had heard previously Samsung (or ATT) disabled.

Can anyone else confirm this? I never got a backup so I don't want to upgrade unless this is true.

It definitely does let you edit the safe-search controls. First thing I did was turn them off
still cant watch a lot of music videos (thanks to VEVO) and a bunch of popular videos (worst dj ever) are still not viewable or searchable.
Have to use the regular Youtube site and use flash for those videos.
It clearly states on the AppBrain page that it is for 2.2 and up, so no dice for us Eclair users.

new and improved....
yeah,i downloaded this yesterday and i really like this version- the interface looks much better dark and i like that i have access to my channel when away from my computer...found out about the new youtube app through android central-no notification was sent to me since the captivate doesn't officially have 2.2?(i have the leaked 2.2 )
thanks for the headsup!!
New app looks awesome Thanks for the find.
Can someone please go to the new YouTube app (if you have it) go to settings and see what the application version is, please?
2.0.26

Really liking the new update. Again this is for 2.2 only, it didn't show up as an update to my current youtube app, but it did replace it once I downloaded and installed it.
Hopefully Google continues to add more and more of the stock apps to the market... one way to combat the horrors of Sense, TouchWiz, etc.

Definitely an improvement but still can't comment from within the app which I hope they implement

I have seen people have issues with that app on more than just this device. My suggestion is to just use Tapatalk. It doesn't crash.
Turn to portrait mode, it crashes in land scape view. I uninstalled it.
Same issue with the Motortrend and Automotive mag app but i kept them and just use them in portrait.

Thanks. I thought there is a solution to this. Overall the apps works well as "read only".

Flashlight app for XOOM (camera LED as a torch)

Hi guys,
I'm the developer of Tiny Flashlight + LED. I believe that it should work on XOOM (be able to use the camera LED as a torch), but I don't have the device and can't test it. Can someone test it and tell me whether it works on XOOM? Also, test the widget.
Thanks!

Both the app and widget work and it nearly blinded me! lol
One thing you might want to consider is to not force portrait mode which is common with the phone apps. Most people use the tablet in landscape.

Great! Thank you. I'll work on a Honeycomb update and add a landscape orientation.
Tesla LED works great on the Xoom also.

As stated already, works great. No complaints, but you've already said you're going to work on the layout so keep up the good work mate.
Fantastic. I was hoping Motorola would update their own proprietary app to support Xoom but that haven't yet. I'll have to look at this.
so... blinding...
any chance that the update will include brightness settings?

Try adding it to a blank screen that you are not using, I just dragged and dropped it on that screen. Then went to that screen and tapped it. Maybe there is some issue with how your screens are configured.

Nice to have since Moto dropped the ball on adding Xoom support to their own app.
Anyone notice the Xoom's flash has a weird yellowish tint to it? It's also like three times brighter than my Droid's flash, which is kinda neat.
I'm the developer of Flashlight + Led @ https://market.android.com/details?id=droid.pr.coolflashlightfree and let me know if it's working with xoom? I don't have the device so I can't test it.
Thanks
Works great! I love it! Thank you!

works on my xoom, but not on My Nexus.
Almost everything working. Maybe I am doing something wrong, the LED turns on, but to turn it off or make it blink doesn't seem to work.

Could attempt it on a test build on CM7, works there from what it looks like.
Just wanted to chime in here on the subject.
Did some searching today and it lead me to the threat linked above, downloaded and flashed through rom manager. First boot took a bit longer than it usually does, thought I got stuck in a boot loop. However, I can confirm this works on the lates pre-alpha cm build!
I had to create another google account to test it out, but low and behold it actually works!
I didn't see any other posts in the thunderbolt forum acknowledging this so I thought I would let you all know.
A family member of mine has a stock tbolt and I got the latest BAMF GB Tom on mine. She texted me today and by her info in the text I had the green video camera. I hit it, it called her and I could see and hear her. She doesn't live in a 4g area nor hooked up to wifi at the moment, but for whatever reason, like I said I could see her and hear just fine. So looks like it might work from 2.2 to 2.3 with better circumstances. Hopes this helps.

I finally got gtalk video and audio working for two way calls on gingerbread
The solution has been out, but I guess I just didn't do a good job of googling. Flash this Google Package File in recovery after wiping cache and davlik.
You can also just read the thread where I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793. The same file is listed under "to install" step#2, Alternate3.
After installing this, my Gmail app was missing so I installed it from the market. I had to install the thing twice before it finally worked b/c it force closed on me with the first install.
I haven't tested the calls on wifi yet, but it was clear on 3g. Only gripe I have is that the camera view is rotated.

Myscript Notes Mobile??

hello everyone,
i've just checked this Thread where someone has ported the App myscript Notes Mobile for the htc-Flyer.
Its a good handwritung recognition app, for which i long searched for. there is no similiar other app which has the same functionality. this one is the best ive ever seen.
So is it also possible to install it on the Xoom? What must i do with the apk file? has anyone tried yet?
Big thanks in advance
