The photo is dark because i used a rc29 android g1 and we all know there camera app sucks!
anyways the graphics aren't half bad! with wifi it keeps up maybe 3-4 seconds lag time. Almost all keys are operational except im having a problem moving with keys "w,s,a,z". Other then that i can press enter and type or o to bring up friends list. if we can edit the app i used im sure we can get things running perfectly! Would work with many other games to.
NOTE: THIS POST IS NEW I DELETED MY OLD WAY OF PLAYING WOW SO DISREGARD MOST REPLIES BELOW.

Whoa... nerd.
Nah Im jk, this would be sweet.

Well this would be cool. I used to just VNC in. But isnt there a G1 app that let you install J2ME stuff? Wouldnt this still work on the G1?
Now give me a app to play FFXI and Im all over that. ^^ But still I may fiddle with this later tonight see if its workable.

I know Blizzard is very strict about third party type software, so be careful. I remember reading they were banning accounts running WoW through linux using wine emulation, picking it up as 3rd party software.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again Just a warning

Meh Ive been in this battle since Ultima Online and still have it, FFXI "Windower" is a 3rd party tool, WoW same things. The key element that even internal staff has told me is that if your not trying to get noticed, you wont be harmed. Long as you dont try to make it so obvious your using something different.. or trying to script kiddie and be a idiot while doing it wrong... then yea.

That's fine, but like I said, I am just warning people they could get banned. Whether it is temporary or not, I really don't care. I am just warning people. No need to be so defensive.

Im not, but btw, I was looking at something called TurboVNC Not sure I understand it fully but it seems to be a better opengl streamer for vnc.

i updated my post.

So you got it working basically? Did all the steps work or what.

Ok.... so can you tell us how?

I think I figured it out...but I decided to give it a shot using Diablo 2 instead of WoW because of the lower requirements

can u tell us how?

Crap...I completely messed up the joke. When I said "but I decided to give it a shot" I meant to put shot in italics as it's just a picture snapped through the camera. I'm still waiting on instructions again from the OP on how he got it running since he edited his post.

someone should make a thottbot application for the android

I used phone2pc. If we can get a developer to edit this app or maybe an app like it, I am sure we can work out all the bugs. Most of my keys work I can talk to people I can press a few of the quick keys like "o" brings up your friends list... I can tap the screen to exit out of things and start spells... but i can't walk. Some one should be able to figure this out and maybe even make the response time quicker.

lol you answered my question as I was posting it. phone2pc

Either way you still completely disregarded the search feature and the stickies indicating to look through those threads before creating a new one. To answer your question. Short answer: No. Long answer: Search.

The answer to your question has already been discussed/answered before. If you want a comprehensive answer, then ask in the Q&A subforum (or in the Hero build thread). My answering you here would only propagate the notion that this is the correct subforum to be posting questions in new threads, which it is not.

four spam replies when one gets the point across.... I wonder which is worse, the poster or the barrage of "use search" after it;
If you mean actual porting, it can be done. You'd basically have to reverse engineer the apks to get them to work on the regular google framework. It should be a little easier now with JF's tool to dissasemble dex files. You can't look at the actual code, but just looking at the function and class names should give you an idea of what they do and how to code an equivalent function for when a certain apk makes a call, then you can either;
1. remake the apk, but using google's regular APIs or,
2. just move the apk, and make your own framework that passes those requests to the appropriate API handler if it exists within the google framework, if not, then make your own with either java or the just-released C++ builder. Kind of like WINE does.
I've always thought the best option is to just make comparable versions of the apks that run on the default google framework, it can be done, it's just exactly the way aHome and other home replacement apps do it, better and faster too. And for example, there are replica Hero widgets out there that look and behave much like their real counterparts, again, without requiring any of hero's libs or frameworks.
If people want real TouchFlo working on the phone, then we need real development to happen and actually make these programs instead of just taking the already built files (which were never meant for the Dream in the first place) and just trying to make them work.

Jubeh.. that was a great response... it really helped me to understand things i was curious about or never even thought about... I am no programmer.. just a G1 lover.. lovin to learn about my phone anyways great reply..

sorry for the second post, but i didn't want to edit the wall of text and have this ignored;
also, if you like the hero look (because, other than the beautiful app integration that hero and rogers roms share, the only difference is the eye candy), you should try Tehseano's OpenHome hero theme. There's several widgets too in the market for twitter, facebook, and other apps that are standard in hero. It won't look EXACTLY the same, but functionality will be similar and it works on Ion.

Agreed, You can tell them to search but atleast provide an answer...If you just say search all you're doing is bumping the thread up

Regardless of whether "Search" should have been used or not (I am a huge prponent of "Search" owning many forums of my own) this thread needs to stay alive. Being that Hero is deep down just another 1.5 ROM with a new UI on top this should be possible. I have pulled and attempted to install a few (Footprints and Social Network Provider) apk's but get the standard error regarding the app not being able to be installed with the ROM. If we can figure out how to integrate certain features of Hero into a Cupcake build the community will benefit greatly.

DroidWall - Android Firewall (iptables front-end) [v1.5.5] [Dec/01/11]

I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I was quite frustrated to see that my G1 was consuming lots of megabytes in the background (also draining battery too fast).
To solve this problem, I wrote this iptables front-end to block undesired applications from accessing the network.
DroidWall - Android Firewall is a front-end application for the powerful iptables Linux firewall. It allows you to restrict which applications are permitted to access your data networks.
This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.

I'm sure a lot of seople will find this useful, however you should move you post to the games and programs forum. This is for rom delvelopment. Not trying to be rude, just a PSA before the mods move it.
On the top righthand side of you post you will see a triangle with a exclimation mark. Click it and ask a mod to move your thread to the appropriate forum.
If I ever have to drop my unlimetd plan I will be looking for a program like yours. Keep it updated and good luck

I like the idea, I'm going to install it right now!

nice idea.. might even increase some battery life by preventing apps from accessing the net behind your back

RIght on, gonna give it a shot, tired of my dead battery all the time

A very nice first post. Welcome to xda.

can I just download the apk file click and install instead of pushing through adb?

Sounds like a great idea! Unfortunately I can't install this on Cyanogen's 3.6.8.1
"Droid Wall could not be installed on this phone."

Okay just a heads up you dont need adb to install this i can be done using package installer on the phone and its seems simple and easy to use I have the full data plan but im hoping it save my battery will definatley follow this for updates and keep you all updated on the battery life

I'm not sure why it won't install on Cyanogen. The only restriction for the application is android:minSdkVersion="3".
If anyone gimme a clue on this I'll surely modify it.

To the dev, if you don't have a market account I will gladly upload it using mine. Of course it would be as a free app (DUH! lol). I have an account that I don't use from buying my ADP1. Just mail me @ (email removed, author already mailed me) if you want it.

Droid Wall is white-list based, so you have to select the applications that you want to unblock, not the ones you want to block.
E.g.: to allow only the browser to access the internet, mark it and the click on "Apply rules".
Please let me know if it works on Hero since I have no oportunity to test it.
Thanks.

You talk about this as blocking ONLY data on the cell networks and NOT on wifi.
I suggest that it would also be good to be able to configure blockages on the wifi network, e.g. for semi-untrusted apps -- i.e. ones that want to communicate with homebase even though they work fine without it or ones that want to load ads.

Need a hack or app to quickly select and copy text on browser

Hello,
After much reading and thinking and debating between the HD2 and the Nexus One I finally placed an order for a Nexus One AT&T and can't wait for it to arrive.
I do however have a question about the browser. From what I know (correct me if I am wrong) to select text on the Nexus browser you need to first press the Menu button, then select More, then select Select Text, and then highlight the text to be copied. Too many steps in my opinion. I wish there was some way, a hack, a tweak, or maybe an app that will let you just do a long press on the screen that will automatically take you to "select text" mode?
Thanks.

I'm also interested in this. Coming from the iphone, it's a kind of a pain just to copy text since you have to go through all those steps and then use the trackball for an accurate selection. And when recieving an address in a text message you have to copy the entire message, paste it in maps, and then delete everything else that isn't part of the address. For example when I get a text like "Ok, my address is 123 N street 90000. Be here by 3." I have to delete everything before and after the address after copying/pasting the entire thing. It would be nice to just copy the address.

I will vote for a mechanism to do this as well. Please

me 3
10 charecters!

Just longpress on text and two markers will appear in the form of green dots with pointers. Move the first one to the beginning of the text you wish to copy, and the other to the end. All text in between will become highlighted green and three options will appear...copy, share, and magnify. No need for hack or app imo.
Edit: depending on which ROM ur running.

Moved as not Android Development.

a19 Desire rom.

the holding the text only works in the desire roms because its part of rosie. what we need is a dev that understands the framework to port it over to the stock 2.1
This is one of the only reasons I miss the Sense rom but I'm waiting my full 14 days so if anything happens to my phone. Even though the last one had no problems

Didn't Android implement copy and paste before the iPhone? Apple took a good idea and improved it surely Android can look at something that's better and adapt the concept without being sued. I would use copy and paste a lot more if it were at all practical. I don't want an iPhone but when a competitor does something well the only shame is in NOT learning from it.

Dolphin browser, you can long press on text, then go to the page option select text, you can either use your finger or trackball to select it, if you need to be precise, go into landscape mode. Not perfect, but it works.

Angry birds

Is there a way to get angry birds full version on a samsung captivate that has not been changed since the box has been opened?

Yes you download full Angry birds from Getjar then you can use Side loading app .

Or you could just download it from the Market...

But do what the first reply said. Download it from Getjar or even from this thread which also says ANGRY BIRDS.

Then install using the Sideload Wonder Machine found here: http://images.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/downloads/AC-SWM-v1.0.zip

Install app brain, thats where i found it

airplane mode and turn on wifi. this still works for me.

if you do the ota update it should show up.

I have JH7 installed from an earlier cognition version. I just now installed the full version for free from the android market. Anyone else able to do so?

If you do not have the ota update you will not be able to find it.... Do the OTA.

I check that post before i posted mine and the main issue i had is that getjar would not let me download the app (phone not supported) when i download the app to my phone i am not "allowed" to sideload apps, and i have checked the market both in airplane mode with wifi on and in regular 3g mode... still can't get it sometimes simple things can be very annoying to complete...

There was another download link in the thread if you actually read it. You then could have put it on the phone with Sideload Wonder Machine. It's not that hard if you actually read. I promise you all the resources are there and available to you.

Thank you for your help now I have successfully installed angry birds

I had the same problem with the new Angry Birds (V1.5.1). Appbrain, Android Marketplace, from phone, from PC on web, etc, none will allow me to upgrade or fresh install AB anymore (tho they did allow me to install the newest AB Seasons w/ valentine levels).
Got the APK from site listed on previous page, tried to use the "Wonderful" sideloader app also listed therein (tho it doesn't support upgrading sideloading--upsideloading?--) and finally loaded the apk directly from my phone's internal microSD (I'm rooted).
why is it some apps are blocked in teh market for my ATT Captivate? Did I screw something up, or is ATT just screwing with us?

AT&T likes to think they know better then us and censor our market app. Custom ROMs ftw with uncensored markets.

finally figured out the simplest way to install ATT censored stuff w/o going to a new ROM again or sideloading: Power off. remove SIM. Power on. Enable Wifi. Go to marketplace. yeah, you know where this is going...
