Mass Effect app for Android? - G1 Apps and Games

I recently found out that the iPhone now has a Mass Effect app. Its called "Mass Effect Galaxy" and I am now jealous of the iPhone lol.
I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to convert this app into a G1 app or if maybe there are plans for the game to be released to the app store?
Link: http://www.destructoid.com/mass-effect-galaxy-hits-the-app-store-137204.phtml

would really like to know too any updates on this or will i have to steal my bros itouch to play this?

I do mean to be a little rude in the sense that you guys should know by now, but the g1 doesn't have the hardware for that game, nor the touch capacity or controls and all that ****.
The answer is no.
[I think.]

Not impossible. Very hard for sure, would likely run like ****, and certainly get Apple's lawyers landing you in a world of hurt. Given the similarities in hardware (on some of the newer Android devices) you could do an emulator.
Of course the likelyhood of someone ever doing one is about 0.
I do not think that running the applications is the problem, The problem is that the iPhone runes on another OS. And that Apple probably would sue anyone who made an application that would allow you to use any of the app store programs.
i wonder if the iphone community are asking if android apps work on the iphone
mmmm NO
best thing to do is that the developer of the iphone app you want makes the app for android.
iPhone apps are .ipa's, you can download them from online and there .zips then you change them from a zip to an ipa. so if you can get all the crap from it and then make it an apk it would run like crap. lol. good idea though.

PSP, 2 CFW or not 2 CFW

Besides the old and tired reason of playing "back ups", is there any real reason to hack a psp. It's cool and gets you geek cred. But with a smartphone that does emulation, youtube, and skype, why would you want to hack a psp? Can anybody help me? Just looked and I'm still on 5.xx from when I bought Gran Tourismo. I know that they are up to 6.3x and there would be alot for me to do. But just looking for a reason to. Anybody running cfw and have a perspective I can't see? Please chime in.

Can't think of the name of now off hand, but I think I saw a theming wizard last year. Let's you redo all the pics and doesn't require any hacking. It makes a theme for you to save to the memory stick and apply. Is that like what you're talking about. Or theming a bit deeper?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks. Just too much risk for not enough return imo. I don't steal games, so not worth it for me.
Personally, I've tried emulators on my Evo, and for me it's super odd to play them on a touch screen. I've tried using a wiimote with it's attachment, but no matter what wiimote or ime I've used, there's always a input delay. PSP can emulate PS1, N64, GBA, SNES, and Genesis for me with decent controls. Plus there are some games on it that are pretty good. Phantasy Star Portable series is pretty good.

Well i changed the whole UI. If i find my psp (haven't used it in a while) il post some pics. The theme i was using most wasnt from me, you can download a lot of them...
I was just out and 'bout, seeing what else was on xda(I've stayed pretty sheltered in the epic section). Saw your title had psp, I was **** crazy for getting one. But to my disappointment(and lots of $ later), the only thing I even remotely like it for was "black ops". Definitely didn't hold my interest. But I still refuse to get rid of it
I've got an xbox 1. Retro - course u can't beat the old days of disc swapping on the dreamcast!

My boyfriend came home with an ipod touch. He is going on and on about all of the amazing vintage video recording and other apps that are iphone exclusive....
He is as tech savvy as I... yet now has changed his opinion on the superior operating system (Me: that's great, but you have to admit, android is much better. Him: no, I don't...) !!! GAH!!!
GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP!
What's a girl to do?

Idk but i like em both equally.
Show him something he can't do, like live wallpapers, different launchers, ... You know what Android can do.
This post changes everything. Again.
Theres is only one thing that u as a female andoid user have to do! No more loving for him until he blends that ipod
No seriously, for me as i use a DHD dolby mobile and srs are great features but i dont know if the ipod also has those features, if not thats a big advantage for me...

I know everything that Android can do (obviously, I'm on XDA!) but I just prefer iOS for unknown reasons. It's just it does everything I want my phone to do, nice and simply. Also I just like the jailbreaking ability tbh. But I still love Android and everything about it.
The thing about themes, iOS is 1millionX better for theming whoever said show him themes on a rooted phone. It's all in a simple app store too instead of having to make sure a theme is compatible with your ROM etc.
If it's only an iPod Touch, then let him be. Just laugh at him for not having an iPhone.
But seriously - just show him rooting and like OC'ing your phone and just like fun little things that'll make him get an Android phone. Idk.

There is only one option....leave him for someone who loves Android as much as you. It's obvious that you guys can't be together as you don't have this in common...it's a must! He's gone to the dark side and MUST be slain!

Unless WP7 have deleted these apps or are not funtionable ? because they still there in the marketplace
Please answer each of these and let me knoe wither these are available and in details please for wp7 MARKETPLACE.

IM+ ? an app where it contains yahoomessenger, MSN messenger so that i can log into one of them and stay intouch with my fellow friends.
Google Earth? Obviously we all know what this one is. So wp7 has it?
Hairstyles ? A Great app to style your hair either your male and female.. with hundreds of hairstyles to see how you would look like in real life with long and short and style hairstyles. Remember no cartoonist look hairstyles.
So does WP7 offer all of these apps too? or could it be under a similar name perhaps ? help me find out and let us know exactly the name so i can type it in the app store. All of these apps are what i enjoy in the apple store apps.
I would be so disapointed if wp7 doesnt even offer any of that. I wonder why.
By the way as i add more and more apps on my phone just where all the apps are.... it builds up alot and i have to scroll all the way down and down to find the app i want to use.... i wish this phone HTC HD7 would have them sorted in small icons just like iphone so i dont have to scroll one line all the way down to find it.
thanks love
best regards
@ SandraX2020
Looks like you already own a HD7 from two posts above. So why don't you check yourself if the listed Apps are available in the Market place.
I did not hear/see most of the apps you listed. But I'm sure MS will catch up soon enough. iPhone and Apple and the developers had 4 years to have the number of apps they have now in the market place.
Where as in less than 7 months, WP7 has over 17,000 apps. I'm sure in no time we would have all of them if not more. So, tight until then.

I can not simply believe enough how all of the apps names ive meantion obove this in this colon list and yet you say there is 15,000 apps on the qp7 and non of the apps ive meantion are not available or doesnt exsist on wp7 between the 15,000 apps thats available there.
These apps are on itunes and on android. I can not imagine more how wp7 doesnt have these apps at all. Sounds like wp7 15,000 apps are more useless apps and basic apps and nothing more then lots of apps design for other countrys. Most of the apps you find will be useless to use it in other countries....
I give you an example. you find lots of apps in relation to the the train metros... your not seriously going to download on of these if your living in a country nwith no train stations around your state. Then again all the 15,000 apps may as well be just useless apps. 80% from all i can see.
I just cant believe all the name apps ive meantion are not available. Considering there is 15,000 apps.
Then whats all this 15,000 apps? doesnt look like there is really 15,000 apps.
When i click SOCIAL i keep on scrolling it down and down and down i go.... and the further you go down and down as you scroll the page there is just 80% useless apps and not very interesting or no one using it to beging with.
But if you keep scrolling and look at all the scroll you did on the SOCIAL apps areas it sure doesnt look there isnt enough.. looks like there was only just 200 apps in there.. Yet interesting 15,000 apps on wp7 all of its content ? interesting.
Anyways WP7 marketplace should wake up and do something decent. It is lacking. I heard friends where i do go to california that wp7 is slowly dyeing from all they are concern about. And wont be popular until 3 years time.

You say there is 15,000 apps on wp7 ? And yet all of the 8 or 10 apps ive meantions are not available on wp7 ? well that is odd because you would think 15,000 apps would be value apps to beging with. And after all of the 10 apps ive meantion obove are available on itunes and android.
Then again im starting to notice and realise all of the most 15,000 apps available on wp7 marketplace is useless. Well not useless but what i meant was that most of them are not really design to help you with things because most of these apps are like for other countries or local other countries needs.. like for example india radio... or canadian radio or stuff for thier locals.
Surely in my state we dont really listern to indian channels or canadian channels or thier local tram timetable apps... well wp7 is like that really.
It is a shame because 15,000 and counting is just crab apps most of it.
I also notice as i browse quite alot.. that there isn';t much ratings on apps and most ratings are on the top list apps... but if you keep on browing down and down the apps page... no one really have rated anything on all apps. only just the most important stuff that are more value that is rated.
Again there is 1.6 million users around the world who just brought an HTC HD7 cellphone. And yet you would have thought 1.6 million users would half of them all would of rate lots of apps to beging with ?
Then i did some analys and notice that 80% of all these people in the 1.6 million users who now own a htc hd7 was that everyone was mainly downloading the GAME store and that everyone was more focus on the GAME section game then anything other then just games on the Xbox game area.
I am not a game person but i used to when i was in my 20s. Know days what i like it good intertainment and intersting apps.
Believe it or not i downloaded 3 apps and in just 3 days later ive deleted it because one of them was a social chat and no one is in it... the second app was find me on wp7 around the globe and notice in my state no one is using this app... So it is a pain killer till its dorm.
So WP7 been out aproximate 7 or so months now. And allready owns 15,000 apps and continuing.
Yet like i said in my experience of using the marketplace is that 80% of it all is crab apps because most of the apps are only more related to a specified country like singapore tram app... or the local tv guide in china.. But these things are useless in other countries. And most apps are like that.
I also notice 60% of the most apps ive encounterd and looked t are quite boring and theres nothing interesting or nice with its graphics... because most of it is just basic writen words and nothing. Its like reading a book with nothing to make it stand out.
So why is wp7 marketplace so bad ? I spoken to my old fellow friends in New orleans and they told me you shoudn't have gone with wp7 because wp7 is dying down.
Mainly wp7 phones are mainly design if you only care about just games
And that its not like what you think as in android or itunes
So to finish it up i say wp7 is crab and bad and nothing excitement out of it.
Know i am thinking of soon to buy a tablet 10.1 screen with built in android. However installing android on the htc hd7 will be not so good if you ever try to uninstall something importnantly.
Itys interesting how itunes and android has all the apps im more interesting. Yet wp7 there is upsolutely no apps that i like which seems strange. Only the app i own is the world radio live. But the rest is again useless. So why with 15,000 and counting apps on wp7 marketplace doesnt have the apps ive named as meantion obove ? which is odd.
I bet all the apps in there wp7 is crab. or at least 80% of it is useless and again apps cost alot on there too
What it is more interesting is the games that wp7 offers... just the games... nothing els.
Not everyone is into games. Think about it.

Sounds like a flaming fanboy to me... If you dont like WP7 the DONT BUY WP7... It is as simple as that...
Well, I have to agree... At the moment WP7 is simply not the best choice unless you are a gamer. Games are awesome under WP7 thanks to XBOX Live. With android you have a bunch of free useful apps as well as great paid apps and is a growing platform with a huge future in the smartphone & tablet market with Android 3. Now with iOS, you have a bunch of slave apps hanging around iTunes and a phone with no battery to swap and no SD slot. Just telling the truth, don't get me wrong. I have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS, an HTC HD7 chevron unlocked and a rooted HTC Inspire 4G with mike's 1986 Revolution ROM. So I have all 3 OS and in my opinion, Android is by far the best, Apple in 2nd place, and in a distant, very distant 3rd place is WP7. And again I have not one but 2 HD2 (both with custom roms) and was the owner of the HTC Tilt 1 & 2. So I am also a huge fan of windows mobile 6.x. etc... but reality is reality. And WP7 is at this precise moment still in pampers. Hope the mango update really delivers not some but many new features like multitasking as well as many others. (Hotspot, usb tethering) Flash should be priority one too, so at least they have something that iOS still don't have. Anyway, isn't this a post about new homebrew apps for WP7? LOL... take care everyone!

I don't know if anybody posted this before, but has anyone ever though about getting apps and games from the Apple store on to your Android phone? Just a thought, but if anybody can do that, you would be my hero!
Thanks in advance

excellent question! I wanna know cuz I want Sonic 4 for Android, and given how open source it, it wouldn't suprise me if someone knows how to port Apple Apps
Different operating systems. Apps and games need to be PORTED to android... You can't just install them.
It's difficult to explain without some computer/coding knowledge......
Think of it in terms of a game that comes out on PC, Xbox and PS3. The game is developed with console in mind and then ported to the other systems. Naturally the original is far better, it's what it was coded for and optimized for. The ports, unless rebuilt from the ground up, are never as good.
Just like you can't stick an Xbox360 disk in your computer and start playing, you can't install an apple application on Android. Porting is a pain-staking process, eventually a majority of apps on the Apple store will make it to Android, but don't hold your breathe.
It can be as open source as it wants, it's still a difficult and painful process to port it to another operating system. If it was easy every PC app and title would be Mac friendly and Apple/Linux users would have more than the small handful of games to play that they unfortunately have.
If you want sonic download a Genesis emulator and play one of the originals. Touch screen controller emulated controls suck though . Wish their was a better alternative.

If an app has been ported (think angry birds) it would be in the android market, amazon appstore or getjar.com (in the case of the newly released cut the rope.)
As for porting apps like the poster above said IT'S NOT AN EASY THING...
Oh. Ok. Do u think a lot of new apps from Apple will come to the android market?

That has never been posted on xda before. This site has over 20 billion users and 15 million posts per hour, and not one person has ever had that amazing thought.
I wish I'd thought of it first. I'd love an iPhone.
