Hello,
First of all i love the site , My Kaiser is now pumped up with some of the best software that you guys have recommened, My Fav software so far is the HTC Album with the Gesture comands (Very Iphone )
This leads me onto my only gripe and was hoping some one could help me
the question is - "Is there any decent Gesture based web Browsing software?" either in the works or already availble?
I have moved onto using OPRA, i really like it but can't seem to get to grips with zooming in or out (is it at all possible)
thanks in advance

If zooming in/out is what you need, you may want to take a look at Opera Mini, particularly with the latest improvements (see the Wiki / the General forum for them)
use the piscel viewer, it is EXACTLY the same as the iPhone browser. I ripped it off the new verizon samsung phone and it works great. Let me know if you need the cab.
It's spelled 'picsel', but I agree that it's a sweet little web browser that acts very similarly to the iPhone browser.
It was posted in the Hermes forum awhile back and I grabbed it then. Good thing, cuz you can't find it anywhere anymore.

Well so Opera sucks really bad most websites i go to the fonts too damn small to see is there a fix for this or another browser i can download?
Wow Scott,
Welcome to the forum. What a pleasant post from such a new member.
Well let's see... perhaps you would prefer the new IE in 6.5. You could give that a try. There is Skyfire. Several seem to like that. Oh, you might also try to do a search. Amoung the issues you are searching for, you might also notice, perhaps, a slightly elevated degree of decorum as measured against your intial entries.
Happy hunting.

sorry for the abrupt post most of the forums i go to for whatever are to the point, and can be mean to the newbs... i will search but i may need to take the phone into the store because the internets not working like i should even with full bars.

You could try Iris Browser....and most builds of opera have a zoom feature so the font wont be as small...
NOOB??

it's the other way around for me, IE8 is getting to my nerves.
what is your Opera version anyway? I believe you can use 'one column' view to eliminate too small fonts.
wondering when will Google/Mozilla make their browser avails for mobile devices.

When I zoom in I lose word-wrap so there is a lot of horizontal scrolling to be done which is a pain so I would rather see the font larger than to zoom.
I get really fed up with it sometimes.

Try updating to a different Opera Mobile build, when I zoom in on mine it word wraps correctly.
another to say update your opera the newest work fine just remember to zoom in. my text wrap is fine
also if you want to use iphone sites use iris browser and skyfire for full flash videos and such
and whomever asked about a mozilla browser there is actually an alpha build its called fenec but supposedly isnt up to par yet but its being worked on
Please feel free to posts requests or ideas to Google for upcoming updates, the purpose of this thread is to eventually have multiple requests of the same thing from consumers for them to be sent to Google to hear our voice. Please type the app or interface area that you have a request for and then describe.
Dialer/Contacts
I would like the longpress options or actions to be brought back to the call log/contact interface. Also to make tiles that are more user friendly when viewing a contact or recent call, the interface it has now is a huge contact edit tile, a thin call tile and a super tiny text tile, its annoying and doesn't make sense.
Maps/Messaging
Another is for the keyboard to automatically pop up ready to type when choosing "search nearby" option in maps app and when you open a thread in messaging...this should be automatic as I am obviously looking to type something if I'm searching nearby... and 9 times out of ten if I click a thread that is marked read I am looking to type so its super annoying to have to go through the extra step to pull up the keyboard it just doesnt make sense either.
Notification bar
Galaxy S3 or LG style toggles at notification (attached sample pic) which allow one handed change of settings such as brightness WiFi and General Settings on the fly, the current 2 finger swipe down is cool but who uses their phone with 2 hands that often...really??
Please reply to each others post with an "Agree" kind of as a way to sign and petition if you agree or request the same thing as I am really looking to turn this in to Google thanks guys.
This is just my personal opinion but I believe Google already has things in the pipeline for many updates ahead and they are not improvising as they go, well maybe they do on the smaller things bug fixes but general understanding of future development I believe must be there so whatever we want or say don't think big corporation like Google will take into consideration
On the other hand sometimes what's good for one may not be ideal for another so this is also very subjective.
And for me I like the way 4.2.2 is now even with the long press on power toggles.
But some ideas may always be interesting to see and if not Google maybe some developers can implement it.

Is there a way to change the homepage in internet explorer to something else? I looked in the settings and didn't see anything. I also searched the forum to no avail.

Easy answer? Unfortunately... It's no.
Aloha,
I forgot you couldn't do this. I forgot because I loaded up the homepage I wanted and pinned it to the homescreen and removed IE.
Do you think that will help?
That sounds easy enough. This is a much different, albeit smoother beast than Android. I have been an avid Android user for going on three years now. I got the opportunity the other day to get an HTC 8X on VZW for 100 bucks, so I scooped it up. I really like the platform, it is a refreshing change from the same old with Android. I still have a Note 2, but I really like WP8. I must have spent 20 minutes looking for a way to change the homepage though.
It seems like there are a lot of basic, common sense things that are missing from WP8; setting the home page is a big one. I also wish there was tabbed browsing, but I'm sure that horse has been beaten dead at this point. I'm also perplexed by the lack of super popular apps. For instance, I can't find a Pulse News App on WP8. That app is HUGE on Android and iOS, yet it is nowhere to be found in the store, Oh well, I think I'll take your advice and pin the homepage I want to the home screen.
I don't remember we have a default homepage on IE Mobile, lol.
about:blank is all we have.
It didn't bother me tho.
You should check out uc browser for tabs.

you should lick on tabs to see tabs - that enables you to tab in internet explorer.
Try fuse or weaver as a pulse alternative. Not as good but gets the job done.
Hi Guys
Completely new to the forum and registered 5 min ago. I'm a proud owner of a Nexus 7 but coming from Apple I'm not sure where to go next.
I'm sure many people have asked these questions in the past and yes I have looked through the forums as well as good old fashion Google but not seen a one stop shop.
Please could someone take the time and help me with the below?
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
7. Best Android browser (flash)
Appreciate it is allot of questions guys but I've posted on other forums to have no responses so Im really hoping the community will help me here.
Once again sorry for being a pain and hop this is in the correct section.
Thanks in advance

You don't need to do any of that. Just enjoy your tablet.
The stock ROM is great, the stock launcher is great. Look for the best reviews in the store.
I would start with ShadowGun Deadzone to see how great multiplayer gaming is on the N7.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadzone
After that, take a look at the editor picks on the play store.
There are also some offers on at the moment:

(Need For Speed, Plants Vs Zombies are great)

1. This is completely relative. My favorite or most used apps could be your least favorite and never used apps. Your best bet is to wander around in the Play Store and just experiment.
2. Nova and Apex aren't themes, they're launchers. They offer more customization options than the stock launcher. You can also theme with them, yes. Again, there is no such thing as "best" - there is only preference. I personally prefer Nova Launcher Prime.
3. It depends on what you are after. If tons of customization is your thing, then yes, go with a custom ROM, such as Paranoid Android. If no, you are just a casual user, the stock ROM does a superb job.
4. Depends on the person. I read articles on it, books, some games, Skype, etc.
5. Asus Supernote.
6. XDA, Google Play Store.
7. I personally just use Chrome.

For backing up I recommend Carbon. As it works with or without root. If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup but I've found it to be way more than I needed.
For browsing I use the default chrome. If I need flash I use firefox. You have to make sure you have flash installed seperately. See here for instructions. This works without root.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ofxPwmZULw
Some people recommend a custom kernel for better performance and battery lfie. Personally I have been very satisfied with a stock kernel and rom. I have rooted mine but I only use it to reset my bluetooth configuration because a gamepad I have sometimes doesn't pair properly. Somewhere on here there is a comparison of custom kernels if you want to check it out. I've forgotten where it is though.

I agree with CrazyPeter...
If as you say, you are a complete novice with regard to Android... for the time being, just forget about ROMs, BOOTLOADERs and ROOT. All that will come much later.
Just enjoy your tablet as Google intended... there's a whole plethora of interesting stuff on PlayStore to be played with first.
-----
Here are some of my 'core' apps, which I have installed on all my Android boxes (and would consider to be incomplete without).
QuickPic, CatchNotes (In which I'm typing this), Dual File Manager, Temple Run 2, IMDB, Apex, Opera Mobile (although the new WebKit version, Opera Browser Beta is shaping up to be a great browser).
When I got my first Android device in 2010, I spent six months just playing around with stuff available on PlayStore... (read the reviews and recommendations).
This was well before I even considered rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
I would recommend you do something similar, just to gain the experience of using Android... and read, read and MORE read, everything you can.
XDA is a veritable Aladdin's Cave of Android knowledge. Avail yourself of it.
Rgrds,
Ged.
1 - You need to find your own apps, no-one can tell you what you'll like.
BetterBatteryStats is an app I ALWAYS recommend.
XDA Forum App
Coin Drop
Jetpack Joyride
Fing Network Monitor
Falcon Pro (AWESOME TWITTER CLIENT!!!!)
2 - Apex is better than Nova on Tablet, Nova is better than Apex on Smartphone. (My favourite minimalistic theme : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcGV4Lm1pbmltYWwiXQ..)
3 - HELL YEAH - Get Paranoid Android, and Either M-Kernel or Faux123 Kernel and you'll be dribbling mate !
4 - I just use it whilst being a couch potato, others take it out and about but I generally don't. Browsing, Watching Youtube, Forums, Email, Social (Facebook/Twitter)
5 - I'm not sure on this one, maybe Evernote?
6 - Pfft, nowhere but XDA!
7 - AOSP Browser (Built into Paranoid Android)
Thanks for all the responses so far guys and gals!

Oh and I highly recommend u root the nexus to unleash its full power
Definitely install multirom, it will allow u to multiboot different roms so u can test them out before deciding on one (or keeping them all). I personally multiboot a cm10.1 (android 4.2), paranoid android (4.1), and ubuntu (a desktop os). The reason for the 4.1 rom is coz its faster and less buggy than 4.2 , and "directory bind" app actually works - letting me run 16gb worth of android game files from a usb...awesome right?
Install flash player. google it to find the apk
use naked browser for flash.. Fastest and lightweight browser... great for flash

As what CrazyPeter said, just enjoy your tab and get all the juice you can from it. Everything will just fall into place if you want to experiment a little bit. I myself have not yet rooted or flashed custom ROMS but I'd probably will (to maximize my gaming experience). N7 is really doing well in gaming (Tegra 3 is a beast). I suggest, if you play a lot of games, go get an OTG cable and a PS3 controller or a controller built for Android (MOGA is really nice). These controller matches well with games like Shadowgun Deadzone and some pretty good console emulators (NES emu).
If you read a lot, there's a lot of really good readers (Adobe Reader, Kindle Fire) in the Play Store. Perfect Viewer is awesome for comics
You can browse the xda forums to help you with your N7 experience.
This thread helped me customize my N7

This thread helped me try some of the awesome games at Play Store
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771129
Awww yeah, I've wanted to find one of these threads forever. Despite joining the forum in 2010, I only really started using my account when I got a Nexus 7 last Christmas, so I'm still a bit new myself. However, I think I have a somewhat impressive mass of some of the best apps/options available to a N7 power user. Especially what's been posted so far, no offense. Sure, usage is mostly personal preference, but comparing apps to find the best is what's most fun about a competitive apps market. Also, there's no reason to think that custom roms/kernels/recoveries will "come with time." You should just do it now and have an awesome tablet asap! It's basically impossible to permanently brick your device, and it's very simple to do this stuff if you just read instructions and threads before asking questions.
On that subject, if you have any questions, ask away!
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
Browsers: xScope (my fav), Dolphin, Firefox, Opera, Boat, AOSP
Launcher: Apex and Nova, lol
Music: PowerAMP, n7player, Google Music
Video: MX Player, Netflix
File Manager: ES File Manager (stream videos/media via wifi/LAN)
E-Books: Moon+ Reader
Word/Excel/PP: OfficeSuite Pro
Cloud: Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, Box, MediaFire, MEGA, Bitcasa
Weather: The Weather Channel
Misc: Beautiful Widgets, Reddit Sync (#1 reddit browser), TeamViewer, ShareKM (really cool), uTorrent+uTorrent remote, Changelog Droid, BetterBatteryStats
Games: Temple Run 2, Glow Hockey, TETRIS, Minecraft PE, ShadowGun: DeadZone, Dead Trigger, Jetpack Joyride, Major Mayhem, Robotek, The Shape Shooter, Cordy 1-3, GTA 3/Vice City, Cubes vs Spheres, The Impossible Game, Super Hexagon, Beat Hazard, Night Sky, Solar 2
Emulators: Mupen64 Plus (N64), Snes9x EX+ (SNES), FPSe (PSX), Gameboid/GBCoid (GBA/GBC), Gensoid (Genesis), there's a lot of emulators and they're easy to find.
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
I don't use themes because stock is the only really great looking one to me, but there's a Themes List in the Themes and Apps section of the forums.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
Roms, Recoveries, and Kernels are all very important when it comes to heavy optimization/customization on your device, and it's all very safe and easy on Nexus devices in particular, imo. They heavily impact functionality, speed, and appearance. Basically the Rom is what your operating system is, Recoveries are custom bootloaders that you can flash/backup/wipe/whatever with, and Kernels are like the backbone your Roms run off of.
I've tried a good few of the most popular roms/kernels, and there's a good reason they got that popular. TWRP is almost unarguably the best recovery you could get. ParanoidAndroid is outright the most used custom rom because of it's amazing customizable interface. M-Kernel is about the fastest by a margin and the developer is a cool dude. You can find these three (what I use) and a couple other good things in my signature. There's more detailed instructions if you just search around the forum or wikis or something.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
I'm just a generally unbusy teenager, so I use mine for browsing the web, videos, reading, navigation, social networking, gaming, GAMING, file management, even working on documents for school. I know the iPad has a good handful of excellent tablet apps that just aren't really on Android, but there's still not much limitation with what you can do versus a laptop. It fits in your back pocket and the battery is god damn excellent.
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
Evernote? I dunno. I don't really take notes.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
reddit.com/r/Android is alright, I guess. Most important news surfaces there, and there's the occasional awesome app that recently came out. AndroidPolice is cool. Honestly, I mostly just browse the hell out of this forum and find pretty rad stuff.
7. Best Android browser (flash)
The Android Open Source Project Browser, AOSP Browser for short. It's the stock Android browser for most devices, but for some reason Google decided flashless Chrome would be a better fit, despite being slower and more quirky. The AOSP browser isn't available on any official site, but you can get it Here. Flashing it is easiest, but you can do it with ES File Manager if you wanna feel pro. Also most roms tend to replace Chrome with AOSP or a superior flash-compatible browser, just as a heads up.

Those are actually rather awesome clock widgets, but there's this one that was created by a Google dev called "DashClock" and it's exploded with support and popularity as a suggested replacement to the current bland simple clock. If you search for it in the Play store, it'll show up with loads of optional extensions.
Basically it's like the stock clock, except it allows for extensions and it'll list weather, email, notifications, music, calendar events, alarms, any function you could imagine below it. Apparently a minimal-style list is easier to use than the stupid swiping left and right for additional widgets.
1. What are the best apps to use? What are the apps everyone is using?
- Igag
- Currents (preloaded)
- Mx player is THE video player, it plays everything.
- cloud print, if your printer supports it
- almost every printer nowadays has an app to print and scan too, very useful
- use those 20000 songs you can store in Google cloud - play music
Saves space on N7
- dropbox
- es file explorer
- adownloader (torrent client)
That's what I use daily. Browse trough play store, most of the apps that you know from iDevices are available for android too.
2. What is the best things for Themes? I've heard of Novo and Apex but which one is the best? As a point of knowledge I'm looking for a minimalistic theme.
Its called launcher, kind of like desktop replacement on Linux, but not really. Try the both, but only paid versions offer any real advantages over default launcher. I use nova prime.
Minimalistic themes are useless, they are not very productive, IMHO.
3. Is it really worth putting a new Rom on? Bootloader? Sorry all very new to me this stuff.
No, not really. You will get a hang of it as you browse xda some more, but keep it stock for now, rooting it is worth it though, for example to remove adds.
4. What do people use they Nexus for on an average day?
Emails, web, series and movies on the go, music player through Bluetooth adapter in the living room, news, games...
And navigation, once I get a suitable car mount.
Its also a great eBook reader, I use Mantano app.
I also use it for video monitoring my baby, using IP webcam on my phone and tinycam monitor on nexus7.
5. I want an app that I can draw add notes in but it is seamless with the PC so I can then transfer it to that and work on it in windows (works pc) possibly something like One Note but not One Note.
Search play store a little, I don't know, I don't use them.
6. Where do people get the Nexus fix from? What is your source of information (apart from this wonderful website which I can believe Ive never registered on before)
Xda is the best, other websites just steal from here mostly. You don't need any other, you belong to us now!
7. Best Android browser (flash)
Chrome for everyday browsing, Firefox beta does flash I think.
You have to find flash apk yourself though, I never need flash.
Try all popular browsers and decide for yourself. I did, and I stuck to chrome.

I hope I won't get into trouble by this. It's just a link to an article after all. And all the nudity is censored.
Checked it out. Best porn app I've seen free version and a 5 dollar lifetime axx for higher res vids.
Think I better get my card out lol
