I found on G+ nice project, its called scouter and it let have on phone multiwindow known from touchwiz, now its just a project but if you have 30 sec free time just go http://getscouter.com and log in, it would be awesone have this on ours N4

Meanwhile, i'm using every Halo compatible ROM here... until this comes

Looks pretty slick, a bit more of s tablet project to be honest but could be cool on the Nexus

Will I be able to run other apps on my phone inside of Scouter?
Unfortunately, no. Scouter modules are specially designed applications, not 'native' apps that come from your phone's app store. That said, a lot of these native apps have versions that function in the Scouter web browser, and we hope companies will eventually develop custom modules for Scouter.

That, and the fact that at first it is coming only for iOS makes it sound quite ****ty.

Lol, so it's just a browser that shows two pages at once? Haha.

I got a game that there is not a single clone of it on the market.
Quoridor but with online play like words with friends or wordfeud, where opponents have unlimited time to play a move or a certain daily limit. Also would have chat and multiple games at one at least 2 players but 4 players would be awesome.
Let me know if your interested.

Facebook is horrible on JB/N7...missing features?

Good afternoon XDA!
Having received my N7 yesterday, I didn't get to play with it too much until later on at night. One of the first things I noticed was that the Facebook app on the device is missing many of the main features. I'm not sure if it's a JellyBean issue (as my Galaxy Nexus is CDMA and I haven't modded it to JB yet) or a N7 issue, but there's no way to see someone's Pictures, Info, or Favorites. What I mean is that if you go to someone's profile the only thing visible is their Wall. There's no way to go into the other sections of someone's profile. The only way to see their pictures is if they post them on their walls.
Anyone else notice this? For those that have, if you also have JellyBean on another device does it do it there, as well? I just have no way of knowing if this is a JB issue or a device-specific issue. I can't seem to find any other complaints, which I'm a bit confused by...I understand that this device is extremely new, but a *vast* majority of Android users also spend quite a bit of time on Facebook, so I'd be surprised if nobody had run into this issue before me (or at least made comments on it).
Post thoughts and maybe we can narrow it down!
I'm seeing the same issue. I've heard good things about Friendcaster as a superior replacement so I'd try that.
Friendcaster is a good alternative and in many ways superior to the Facebook app - you can have multiple log ins/accounts and much more responsive than facebook

I have both the Galaxy Nexus on JB and the N7, I can definitely confirm that the FB app is lacking on the N7 especially when going into peoples profiles. However on the Galaxy Nexus it has every single feature that it had on GB and ICS. No idea what the deal is with the N7 version of the app.
Facebook app isn't set up for tablets on JB as far as I'm aware. Give them a bit to update the app and we will see.
No your wrong, its not the fact its a tablet on jelly bean, its the fact its a tablet.
My transformer prime has the exact same problem and its on ics

Just my 2 cents, but FB apps in general on all devices are poorly optimized. One of the few things i'd rather view with a browser.

Nexus 7 For The Elderly

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

No problem. The only launcher that might suit your needs would be a heavily customized apex launcher.

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.
Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things

[PORT]Rockchip has Split Screen support

Just seen this on the wire and thought how awesome it looks.
Rockchip is a chinese chip manufacture that powers devices like the popular MK808 and other handheld devices. Looks like they've been busy as today they announced they have a Split screen solution similar to Samsung that runs on Stock Android, except it can run any app.
Oh man does this look yummy.
How likely is it that we will get this on the Nexus 7?

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, But Samsung implementation seems to only be custom apps that work in window form, but this seems to be a framework implementation?
Meaning this should work well with all Play Store apps as long as they followed the Android development guidelines and have a tablet UI. (fragments, panels etc)
Why is this thread has a PORT prefix in the title?

You are correct about how Samsung multi window works.
I don't know what the guidelines are for this multi window feature.

I wrote an article on this yesterday.
I can't wait to see how it properly functions on some of the well known devices.
@StrangerWeather its very likely the N7 will get it as its probably the most popular 7" tab on the market.

Because it would require a port from Rock chip devices to our N7.
This seems really cool because the Samsung required specific apps where here, he used anything, such as the stock settings app. So it should work with any app.
Plus I like how they all control and flip back and forth. Really nice.

Saw this on Android police and the implementation of gestures, Window resizing, management etc was nice and it's better than Samsung's Multi Window feature.
Wish this gets ported to custom ROMS soon.

Hopefully in the final release it uses the phablet layouts when in split screen. Ideally it would recalculate screen metrics based on the window size.

The rumor has it that Paranoid Android team is developing something like this. In fact CM team had tried to publish their version of multi window(project Cornersrone) but Google wouldn't let them. Multi window is totally possible to make for N7 and whatever modern android device. In near future!

Quite frankly, in the era of 1080p displays, there should be multi-window baked in to the OS. It's a feature that I think would really propel Android forward.

there isnt one. widgets will be like before, a long press on the home screen brings up a menu where you can chose widgets.
I'm excited, I'll be getting it at launch.
It's a very well designed device from the looks of it.
As for the video, I wish he would've shown more of what's new in 4.4.
I know what YouTube, earth, chrome, calendar, the play store and keep look like...
I would've liked to have seen more of the new launcher and how widgets are added, the new way search is handled, etc.

ill be honest with you, i feel the same way about hangouts. ive been replacing hangouts with gtalk until about a month ago, for that exact reason. hangouts did slightly improve, thats why im using it now, but it is not the best app. oddly, it runs quick without issues on my nexus 7, and on my friends note 2. but on the n4, it has issues. hopefully its update will correct that for the n4, and hopefully it runs as perfect on the n5 as it does on my n7.

I am pretty sure that Google has smoothened out the hiccups you speak of. I for one think that the Hangouts and SMS merge is a smart one. I bet users who has never used Hangout will now get familiar with it.
