[Q] MobiTV for Slide? - myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps

Ok, so I went into the T-Mo store over the weekend and played around with a Vibrant and noticed the MobiTV app (kind of cool). So, I asked the rep if there was a version for the Slide and he said negative.
So, I came home and did some research on it and found a thread over at the Nexus One section in which some had successfully ripped the MobiTV apk from other devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780252
I downloaded and installed the following apk provided there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=398968&d=1284173705
I was surprised that on my first try it got pass the MobiTV icon and to the EULA. But, because it's not made for our screen size I could not see (therefore click) "Agree" or whatever you have to press to move on.
Unfortunately, subsequent tries to get it running resulted in black screens, unless I reboot or uninstall/re-install it, in which case it repeat the process.
I have no programming abilities, so perhaps some knowledgeable and enterprising Slide user could take a look into whether this could work on our device.

I got it to work but you can tell its not for the slide screen..wen u get to the screen that u have to press agree just hit the touch track pad and it shud take u to the mobi home screen.

Ok so I tried the LCD Density changer and it's still not resizing the mobitv app

I tried LCDDensity for Root, a free app from the Market.
It showed that my phone had 160, I tried to adjust it to 140 and it only froze my phone, had to pull battery out and turn on back. Everything was fine. I read a comment that like our MyTouch Slide, has it's resolution set to its best by default...
apps like that were designed for big screen phones...

Redownloaded and installed a few times and nothing.

It may be that the developer has not yet updated the app to support the Mytouch Slide hardware...email the dev and ask the to add support for your device...

i read it was based off processor, magic, dream, hero wont work as they dont support it.
seems to work for most of my movies, have several mpgs and avi files that it played decently, i have had a few problems with it lagging in audio or audio cutting in and out, and only one file refused to play at all(and by that i mean no sound and ~1fps while counter at bottome went as normally would)
I just downloaded it. I'm at work so I only have 2 .avi files to try out but they both worked great and when you move it to another point it starts almost instantly. Such a great app.

[Q] Screen Shot Apps

Have we gotten any good app that we could take screenshot of our screen but phone for it not 2 be rooted and in any app we using. Cause all we have is jst take screenshot of our home screen :/ i want 2 take screenshots of some messages and other stuff like that like iphone has. If so plz let me know n provide us the link would appreciate it, really looking forward for an app like this
Personally I use screenshot by gik soft, using time delay you can switch back to what screen you are wanting capture by long pressing the home button before it does the snap shot, also the timer is adjustable. App is in the market

Oh, did they change it back? I know it worked before it got updated, and then it said it needed root.
Hadn't used it again until I just rooted the other day.

New Market Apk

I am not sure if this works on the Slide, but you can find the newly designed Market.apk in the Vibrant forums under Themes and Apps. I can not test it right now because my girl friend is at work. She has a Slide, I have a Vibrant. This works wonderful on the Vibrant and I think it should on any other android running device. Hopefully I've made someones day.
SORRY I CAN NOT POST THE APK, BECAUSE I AM USING THE XDA APP ON MY PHONE AND I AM NOT NEAR A COMPUTER.

the home screen for the market isnt exactly space efficient, looks really cramped on MDPI (was market always like this?)
EDIT: the landscape ui is pretty cool. cooler than the old one but still not my cup of tea
Flashed via ClockWork using Touchwiz rom and its working flawlessly

Well tried this apk, n didnt work for 4 my phone. But i tried some other market apk form xeria phne section, n tht 1 seemed 2 do the job. Just had 2 clear the cache, and when 2 astro n installed it. Not rooted, 2.1 update 1 tmobile. is wht i have
Also let me get this straight. If u update to the new version, we will only have 15 mins 2 refund our money right. But what if we staty on the old version will it still be the same? Or we would still have 24hrs to refund it.

+1 on the sprint skin. Looks nice with the high contrast of our screens.
I just came over from a supersonic so I was having a bit of trouble adjusting to typing on a smaller screen, but this certainty helps. I find it even easier to use Swype on a 4.0" screen.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Giving it a try now; I used to use Swype all the time on my EVO and EVO Shift, but I like the Gingerbread keyboard a lot so I hadn't given much thought to installing Swype on my Nexus.
Why not though, eh?
The Sprint skin is kind of trippy. Digging it.

The skin is nice, but don't miss the new features that are only available in this version (for now anyway):

This has some other updates too, at least for me. I stopped using Swype a few months ago. One thing I noticed is that it has better prediction like slide it has. (I found slide it much easier to use.)
Anyway, I am liking swype again.

I know, but I want to try. website swype can not download this version only 3.6.84.26668
Anybody with a regular (non-Sprint) Nexus S tried downloading this? I gave it a go last night and ended with just regular ver. May have been a bit early, time-wise, but it's probably tied to device fingerprint.
Those of you who have successfully installed this new version, would you mind uploading your build.prop (for the device fingerprint)? Assuming it's just a simple check on initial install, it could work for us non-Sprint-ers.
Loving the Sprint Swype, least Sprint understands they owe us.

[Q] Looking for someone who owns Sketchbook Pro

I need assistance from another Xoom'er with sketchbook pro please PM me
What's your issue? I have the paid version.

"Paid" apps are supposed to verify you own them before they work right? I have seen before where if I remove my gmail account from my tablet then some apps break and won't run properly. With that said, I paid for sketchbook pro and can't re-download it to my Xoom because 3.2.2 changed the screen density. I'm looking for a way to get the app again without going through "unkown" sources. The screen density change has caused the market to drop it entirely off the list when browsing from my Xoom and from the web I can't push it back to the Xoom.
I did download a "copy" but when I run it it says cracked by so and so and I really don't trust cracked software so I uninstalled it.
Are you able to download it to your XOOM from the online browser market? If you have a VZW XOOM, it should still work. If not, you may have to download it to your phone and pull the APK and sideload it on your XOOM (your phone would have to be rooted to do that.)
Also, for future reference, Titanium Backup is your friend.

Trying to push it to the Xoom = your device is incompatible.
Autodesk has for some reason locked this app into only working on a certain screen density. It will not download to my Nexus One either.
And your tip is well noted, but who would have thought sending their Xoom off to get upgraded to 4G would come back a different screen density... and on top of that who knew it would make so many apps incompatible LOL.
Worst comes to worst... I can just wait. Autodesk will fix the issue on their own sooner or later but I thought I'd ask around.
I have a question to those with SB Pro too. How are your drawings on the Xoom? I can draw well with pencil and paper but the touch response on the xoom kills me. I can hardly get a line that's not all squiggly. This is making me consider a lenovo with a digitiser for my next tab.

Flash the tachi kernel and overclock to 1.5. It fixed my lag issues.

I wonder why in the world they would change the screen density. Is the change obvious? Does it look better, or worse?
Another thing you can try, if you're XOOM is rooted, is to change the screen density manually (or use the screen density changer app in the market) to something that the app will recognize, then change it back to stock after downloading the app and see if it works.

This. I am curious to know what density they changed it to. Was it only from sending it in for the 4G upgrade? I have an unrooted Xoom WiFi I am pretty sure stock density is 180. What did the stock density change to?
