oddly enough - I myself applied that fix this week and it worked well.
however gameboid on the hero is a bit of a let down, the onscreen button cause a lot of problems - sometimes makes me wish i had a physical keyboard again.

Can you be a bit more specific please? Are you talking about disabling sense ? I tried that and it did very little im on the newest Villian Rom and regreting it at the moment ..

No they are talking about going out an buying a HTC Desire as it has a much faster processor that can handle running game roms better.

Ah , well i know for a fact that 1.5 roms can support it ! I just wanted to know if there was a way to make it work on 2.1!
I will never buy another htc product , come on they release a new phone then stop supporting it instantly and concentrate on their new phone that they don't intend to support. For example 2.1 to be release in september? That is a sham .

Welcome to the wonderful world of mobile phones.
All manufacturers are same dude. HTC just happen to make some of the best phones in most peoples opinion.
This life. They will always concentrate on their newest devices.
I have same lag with 2.1 ROMs. Thought it was just me.

I think i know what you mean, i have the same problem on villain 2.1.....
And the weird part is the lag doesn't happen when on 1.5.... Does anyone have the same problem except for the poster?

Epic sad face , yeah HTC are jerks =/ We need supporttt!! If anyone finds a fix for it please respond here of mail me Also im finding on the 1.5 rom mr bangs one that leaf green the pokemon game lags! hmm

I have the same problem using CHM 1.4.3 (2.1). I never tried an emulators on 1.5 to compare, but it definitely only happens when using the virtual keyboard.
Has anyone had any success getting the ___oid emulators to run smoothly with the virtual keyboards?
Too bad using the trackball as the d-pad didn't work better.
I miss real keyboards

Interesting... its not just the emulators. Games that ran fine before (radiant) now suffer from the same lag when using the touch screen instead of the trackball.
WTF?

It's a shame, this issue makes any game unplayable

Pokemon works fine on my hero with Froyd Villain and OC.

Anyone noticed using touch screen in games slows down device?

I mean its ridicolous like games like virtual pool which ran on my 300mhz xscale ipaq at full speed slows to a crawl once I start touching the cue stick or ball onscreen. When I am not touching the screen in any game like ffrace or wolfenstein or duke3d or krally it runs pretty well (though not as fast as a 400mhz xscale of samsung device) but once I touch the screen the graphics slow to a halt. It makes awesome games like call of duty 2 virtually unplayable unless you can set the game to just use the hardware buttons or keypad, but not all games have such an option.
Whats the deal? the HTC Trinity had this problem on earlier roms but I am running Dutty's latest rom with the very latest CE build and it still has this problem.
Welcome in the wonderfull world of the Kaiser. You like gaming ? Don't buy a Kaiser !
About COD2, I also tried to play the game without touching the screen, only by pressing the buttons, but it is very slow anyway (unplayable from my point of view).
But I would be glad if I only had problems with COD2 !!!
ive been trying to find a way to fix this problem, i think it can be done, but i would need a rom cooker? someone who is famaliar with a rom (or device) which it's screen does not slow down when pressed. we may be able to get the touchscreen driver from this device. i know theres someone out there that can help.
Are there any HTC devices which doe
n't slow down when using the touchscreen?

the Universal, for example. that is, non-2.8) models.
(BTW, i my articles, I've thoroughly disussed this problem and was among the first, 2 years ago,to report the problem to HTC. Too bad they still haven't bothered fixing it..)
it is more than just the touch screen drivers its the Direct 3D and other graphics driver that dont exisit on the Kaiser at all if you would read the other threads there is a large pool of money for the first person to make these drivers and get them working on the Kaiser... HTC screwed everyone with there advertising and I have to admit this phone is ****ing slow for what it should be i think all processors should be atleast 900mhz to make it fast enough for me

As you can tell Menneisyys, people do not want to listen....
Menneisyys has said this many times before the d3d issue came out...
There is a touch screen handler problem in ALL HTC devices..
PLEASE...SEARCH THE FORUM...

Menneisyys,
This problem would pretty much cripple the Polaris/Cruise. Do you think this will be a problem for this device as well. I have posted this question several times, but so far all I have gotten is anecdotal replys about the screen being the same as the Touch. The Touch is also 2.8 screen but some people suggest the screen technology is different, so it works better. I have tried a friends Touch, and it does seem to be better, but not dramatiaclly better and from an external standpoint, all I can tell is that it is flush mounted instead of inset.
So from someone who understands the internals, is there any reason why the screens used for the Touch and (assuming) the soon to be relased Cruise perform better?

Touch Grind on g1

someone should take the game from the apple app store called touch grind and bring it to the g1 its a very addicting game and its fun if i knew how to do it i would do it myself
You cant move a iPhone App to a Android app! (Except you have the cocoa-code from the developer...)
But I find this game also cool
Touch Grind
I think it needs multitouch to work though
noo i dont think so because the game juss uses touch screen only for the skateboard to move so i dont think it needs it
It sure does use multi-touch, so that means it's a no go.

err dude, pretty much all of us on here have multi touch now since it comes on all the latest ROM builds, so its proven that any multi touch application is more than possible.
And if your still on a stock ROM without multi touch then sucks to be you but do your research first!
multi touch
Most people don't have multitouch. These people wouldn't be able to play the game. What's the point in making a game like that if only so little people are going to buy it?
Well, near everyone on XDA is using multi-touch (at least I presume, anyone reppin Android 1.0?)
And also, XDA is ready, willing, and able to rip APK's. We can do almost anything. Someone would just need to sit down and code.

N64droid!!!

http://www.zodttd.com/wp/2010/07/are-you-still-working-on-the-n64-emulator-for-android/
although this is more than two months ago, and psx4droid has several known problems I can't wait till this comes out!
sick - im eagerly anticipating this myself
in other news, from twitter
"zodttd: @Rotkaeqpchen It's in the works, but I'm focusing on psx4droid's update at this moment."

If he's not working on it I wish he would just give me what's done so far and I could finish it he can buy the rights to it so I can't make any money off it I just really want it on my phone.

why don't you contact him, i could send him your info on twitter
It's like ZottD is dead or something, no posts on his webpage about anything for 2 months. I hope he's just working behind the scenes, and hopefully not doing what the rumors are about going back to development on iOS. :/
no zodttd is answering people daily on his twitter page, and he says he's working
Good to hear! definitely looking forward to trying an n64 emu... man I imagine it would be hard for touchscreen controls only though for most games. .... maybe not though.

Do you have any proof that he abandoned this project??
Considering the fact that he has confirmed he is working on android updates on both his twitter and formspring accounts?

False. He said a few days ago that it
was in the works

any updated news?...
i think n64oid might be dead in the water.....
I am not excited about this. Psx4droid is mediocre and un usable if I don't find an old version and n64 is much more graphically intensive. His iphone psx4all runs much smoother on lesser hardware.
I hope the fpsce team chooses to make and android app.

You think its unplayable? Its perfectly playable when you have the phone running 1ghz or higher...the sound is just distorted sometimes. I think they have a pretty good beta. I want someone to finih it.
That being said, the n64 used too many buttons simultaneously to work good on a phone imo...

+1 on the buttons, how would you do the Z button? I'm thinking for OoT, it would be a major challenge.

I think the older versions are playable actually i do play them some. For the current version in the market every game I have tried to play has had completely broken sound. The most typical problem is the it either slows waay down or hangs completely. With no sound the nostalgia feel is easily cut in half for me so i usually just sigh and say whats the point and do something else.

[Q] is live weather wallpaper working on hero?

anyone tried this LW on our good old hero? looks very nice, but will it work?
it's paid so i would like to know if it works before buying
Hello... That is my app.
As long as your phone is running OS of 2.1 or higher that is capable of running live wallpapers, then yes, it should work. Feel free to test it out yourself. The 15 minute refund window is more than long enough to test it out. Please let me know what you think of the app. I am donating all proceeds to help cancer patients in need....so if you like the app, please rate it high, comment and share out to your friends.
Thank you!
huh, i just found out that i can't even see your app in market (hero running 2.3.3)
well, i guess i have to wait with trying it till i get new phone.
anyway, thanks for reply
It probably wont work as Hero's arent meant to have workign LWP due to hardware limitations...Some work on the hero's because they dont need to render with a dedicated graphics processor.
Try go weather, laggy but quite ok. Tested on elelinux 2.2
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
so far, i have tested a lot of LW, it wont run on HERO
Spring Zen beautiful LW
I love LW Spring zen but on my hero is hard to work; sometimes work nice sometimes dont work at all.When turn of phone and turn on dont work and have to turn on the camera to work againĀ“)

ScummVM on NS

Just wondering if anyone has this emulating software on their Nexus S working? I'm attempting to run the 1.2.1 version from the website and all I get is a black screen. I heard it struggles to work with Cyanogen (I'm using NSCollab) but was interested if anyone uses this?
I'm interested in playing Monkey Island on there and have the game files, but I get nothing when opening the app.
I had mine working with Sam'n'Max Hit the Road on CM 7.0.1 on an earlier flash. I haven't reinstalled it since though.
EDIT: I've reinstalled on CM 7.0.3 stable and both Sam'n'Max and Full Throttle work.
I do find the menu buttons and scrollbars a bit on the small side for a touchscreen interface, but nothing worse.
Thanks for the response. I could not get the stock apk working from the scummvm website. However someone in the forums posted an alternate apk (not sure what is different) and that works well.
Thanks
This would be awesome. I could play I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream on my phone
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
It works on openSoju 0.2.1
Thought I'd add. This version of SCUMMVM badly needs some love from a programmer or two for UI improvements...
I tried installing and playing again and hit some snags very quickly: I can't right click with my fingers... (Or maybe I can, but there's not Android-specific documentation for SCUMMVM)
Maybe with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I don't feel this is quite playable on the road yet.
Many UI elemants are pretty small for a touchscreen.
But otherwise the code seems stable and fast enough. Had a laugh watching the Sam'n'Max intro again after all these years.
