Post and/or discuss your confirmed working apps or make a apk request. :)

Anyone know a good twitter app?

Please post in the following manner:
Perhaps the wiki mentioned at the top of this forum would be a good home for a compatibility table with four columns:

APP NAME: (name of app)
VERSION: (version) number
STATUS: 1 = works. 2 = works with quick fix (such as "compatibility mode" or changed pixel density). 3 = works but doesn't fill screen. 4. Works but has issues. 5. launches but is unusable. 6. DOA
NOTES:

EDIT: Dropped BK Softhome in favor of SmartBar:

SmartBar - Android app on AppBrain,

(Here's the BK Softhome link for comparison: http://www.appbrain.com/app/bk-softhome/com.bk.softhome)

Has a suite of nice features that can be added individually to the notification bar:

- Home
- Show Recent Apps: 4x3 grid (like what you get with a long-press of Home on Android phone)
- TaskManager: can be used as a task-killer ;) but a long-press and "App detail..." takes you to the Application Info menu (to clear cache/defaults)!
- Quick Settings: a number of shortcuts/toggles for battery, drive info, wifi, etc.

^That BK app looks promising, should have left the link for others. I've been pretty happy with the Zeam notifications on the bottom which balloons out on screen when pressed. The typical top to bottom pull down notification bar found on android now, I think may be too big for opening and closing on the NC's 7" screen.

I liked the way BK Softhome worked simply and cleanly. Just turned out that SmartBar had the same functionality plus lots of other soft keys!

update of working:

Android tablet forum
Audiobooks
Beatdown boxing lite
Bing
Congress
ConvertPad
Crosswords
Dolphin Browser HD
Drop (ball looks a bit funny shaped)
Frozen Bubble
Giants News
Jewels
Labyrinth Lite
Light Racer 3D
NPR News
Nubinews
Opera Mini
Piano
Raging Thunder 2
Spb Tv
SleepTimer
Super Froggy
SportsTap
Tic Tac Toe
Toss it
Word Drop
XDA forum

Observation: I'd say 98% of all apps work, as in install properly and about 15% of the apps that do install are mis-sized. Not sure but I believe the apps just need updating by adding the larger resolution configuration to their programs.

I thought you said you work in the daytime...? :rolleyes:

Any chance you'll update your zip-file list? Um, if it's OK with your boss, I mean.

I'm at work now; I can type but can't too much of video watching. :)

The apps I just listed are all in the zip I posted yesterday.

Any chance anybody's had any luck with QuickOffice? -- Or, the corollary question: does anybody have an office suite they'd recommend for the NC? I work with a debate team and having the nook work as a file-viewing unit with my dropbox would be friggin' sweet! Minor editing capabilities would be even better.

For clarification, I don't have my NC yet due to budget issues, but the next time I get paid, my new nook is gonna be rooted so fast it'll make kudzu jealous...

And, by the way, thanks to everyone who's already looked into apps and rooting and all that. People like me get to stand on the shoulders of giants like you and I, for one, appreciate it.

^ I don't have quick office at the moment but I'll look into it.
