Hey guys,
I just install the CM9 rom and I need basic apps like facebook for tablets (that fit well on the screen).
because I downloaded the facebook app and what I see in the central wall is a status with little words and a huge pictures.
same question here, the facebook app is terrible for GT 2
Use friendcaster pro for facebook

thanks, I will try the free version, looks good
The Facebook app for Gtab 2 7 sucks. I wish Facebook would just release a version that is optimized for Tablets.. Until then I just use my broswer to view the desktop version for Facebook.
friendcaster is very very very good app for facebook
+1 for Flipboard! I don't generally like the idea of a "newsreader", but this one is awesome! It actually can be connected up to Facebook and Twitter, is very easy to set up, and does a really nice job of aggregating news stories and formatting them so they look really nice on the 7" screen.
The first thing I always install is SwiftKey 3, which is pretty much my favorite Android keyboard app. There's a free version available for trial. For the GT2 7.0 you'll want to use the Tablet version (which is what I linked to).

I've tried a couple of different Twitter apps (the native Twitter, Inc. app and Tweetdeck) but none have installed. Has anyone found an app for Twitter that will install on the G? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Looks like Tweetcaster will install. Sorry. OP can delete.
I'm using TweetCaster, but sometimes I miss TweetDeck.

I have TweetDeck installed right now, I have not used it yet I just installed it but ill post screenshots soon.
I've been using Tweetdeck for a while, on TNTLite. No problems with it.
I just installed the twitter official app from twitter inc and it works just fine on my tab tnt 2.2
Hmm. Weird. I'll check their site.
I'm using Touiteur
Frankly I love it. Widget (in the pay version) and a really nice interface. Integrates with bit.ly for url compression twitpic etc.
I was able to get Tweetdeck, but only after flashing TnT Lite. I haven't used Touiteur in a year or so. Perhaps it's time to check it out again.
Twidroyd
I have been using Twidroyd. It works great, in fact the LiveView mode actually works better on the gtab than it does on the Droid X.
TweetDeck works on VEGAn.
Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk
So far none are to my liking or really made for tablet. Tweetdeck on VEGAn 5.1 is most feature rich but not best experience. Tweetcaster is best experience but lacks features.
Wish I had some l337 codding for android skills, damn career choices.
For anyone using one of the Honeycomb ROMs, there is a really nice Facebook app called "Friend Me". Nice layout, solid build (though it is beta and has a couple of minor bus).
I've been using it a few weeks and it's great. Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough here to add an outside link, so if someone would be so kind...
Sure.... sharing this should help others... but I'm going one step ahead and sharing some more social apps for Honeycomb...
Honeycomb optimized Facebook apps:
Friend Me for Facebook by Locomo Labs
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook by OneLouder Apps
Honeycomb optimized Twitter apps:
TweetComb by Locomo Labs
TweetCaster (Twitter) HD Beta by OneLouder Apps
Plume for Twitter by LevelUp Studio
I have a problem with those apps and Andoid Illuminate for HC as I posted in the Illuminate thread:
Yeah I was right in my suspicions, it's because the Android build for the gtab has problems with hardware acceleration and the browser, I've attached a modified .apk which fixes the issue.

I'm using GTabComb 3.3 and it works fine on mine.
I tried FriendCaster but found it slower than Friend Me, but it's a nice app.
I also use TweetComb, but I'll have to try the others.

Honestly both Friendcaster and FriendMe suck. Yes the tablet UI layout is great, but functionally you're better off with the official Facebook app or just using the web, since both FriendME and Friendcaster are only good for VIEWING facebook content.
The minute you try to hit a "reply" button to actually communicate to your friends, it opens a web window with the facebook mobile site. Super lame.
I really like keeping notes on my phone but there's no Notes app in the AT&T ROM. I tried pulling the one from RumRaider but it FC's on opening so I'm guessing it's missing dependencies/framework or something. Is there a notes app that will work with Sense 3?
Thanks!
I too have been searching for a good notes app, but haven't found one yet.
I use aknotepad from the market. Unless you're talking about something different.
Evernote is really good, free, and syncs to their server (a must if you flash a lot).

"Only" 5 million + downloads from the Android Market. I use it to sync between my work and home PCs and my Vivid. I figure it's as easy to enter a text note in Evernote as it is in any other stand-alone text editor or notes app.
AK Notepad was a great suggestion. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Although I might have to check out Evernote.
I tried several, and Evernote beats em all hands down, IMO.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Gtasks.
I use Gtasks for the convenience and simplicity of use. You simply download it and it syncs immediately to your google account. You can enter notes from your phone or pc (from your gmail calendar) and even while reading articles or websites on your phone, you can share the webpage or article directly to gtasks, so it sends a link to the app. You can further use it as a task management tool by setting reminders and alarms for each note item.

evernote has similar functions. Plus there is a really good chrome extension so you can clip text or send a page directly to your evernote account.. I use this all the time for recipes and stuff. Also it looks like HTC built a native note app that will sync with evernote now and it works great!
I use gtasks for a long time, I might give evernote a try

I use one called ColorNote. Its a good basic note program. I havent really tried any others.
If your an MS Office user, OneNote is now available for Android. Cloud syncing via LiveDrive works well.

I am running stock AT&T .56 ROM & I have the built-in HTC notes app that syncs with Evernote.
I use colornote. its quite convenient to me.
U can find it on Google Play!
As an MS Outlook user, I like MyPhoneExplorer for syncing contacts, notes, calendars and tasks. The developer is actively engaged, and responds quite quickly to support issues.

So what do you think is the best Twitter app? The official is really good but it lags insanely. That bothers me... If you guys got some good Twitter apps... Please share.

Does it get updated anymore?
I use Tweetdeck with Tweetdark theme.
Its a sweet look (very black with white text) and Tweetdeck combines feeds like facebook if you want.
Definitely recommend.

The official twitter app and Tweetcaster Pro. Haven't tried Plume but heard good things.
Tweetdeck is owned by Twitter now, right?
is there any third party twitter apps that support push notification like the official one? i can't find it.
Tried twitter, tweet caster, tweetdeck for sometime.. they are all cool.. but been using Plume for a few days and wow its just took good!!

Seesmic for me, i have tried most of the Twitter client, for me seesmic suited the best.

Plume free here.
though am seriously considering paying for the adverts to go away.
and yes, I got an update the other day.
If seasmic allows dark theme, it will be the best, for now, plume.
Does the paid version of Plume let you set which region you want to see trends from? I'm using the free version at the moment and it seems to only have US trending topics (or world, maybe). I don't really want to pay for it if I can't set it to UK topics.
We can't see the photos section on anyone's profile page anymore ? Same app on my galaxy nexus shows it!
I'm hoping its happening for all of you too?

Mostly because the app developers for Facebook have never put out a good update that didn't break things? It's one of the worst development companies on the planet...if their services wasn't used by so many people they would have fallen off the radar a long time ago.
Give it 3 months and maybe it'll be fixed.

Stupid question but i beed to know why on the very latest release of the facebook app as to why when I post a status that it doesn't say the location.
I did check location on in the facebook app from the Google store.
I see people post their status and it says town/city when they post. At one time this worked and only once on the latest facebook release. Help! !!
