Working Tetris apk, anyone? - Nook Color General

Need some help finding a working tetris apk for my rooted nook color (1.0.1, Auto-nooter).
I've tried the top 6 tetris apps that come up when searching in the Market and the only one that comes close to working is the Classic Tetris one. It gives me a working game board but it's off set from the border around it so much of the board is covered, making it unplayable.
I've done all the easy troubleshooting stuff (e.g. rebooting after install, uninstall & reinstall, etc.) but nothing is working. I would prefer a fix for the EA Tetris version since I already bought it and can't "return" it. It gets to the screen where you choose your language and then becomes unresponsive to touch commands and wont let me choose any of the languages. I would play it in German for God sake if it would just let me. ;-)
Hoping someone has a fix for this or at least an apk they found somewhere that works. Thanks in advance for your help.

My personal favorite version of Tetris? Gameboy . . .
You can get the GBCoid Gameboy Color Emulator, and find the Tetris/Dr. Mario ROM. I haven't tried it on here yet, but I've played Tetris on my Evo that way, and I much prefer it to the EA version. All the other emulators I've tried work on NookColor perfectly, so I'm sure GBCoid will be fine.
For that matter, pretty much every game system that's come out since the late 80's has had a version of Tetris. So you have NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. emulators to choose from. Like I said, though, in my book, the Gameboy version is pretty sweet.

Have you tried the Compatibility Mode setting in Spare Parts?

FIXED! Thanks guys.
Mikroft - I looked into the Spare Parts app, but the first two reviews of the app said that it froze their phones, so I chickened out on installing it on my NC. I may try it later once I have everything backed up and am a little more familiar with the Android system, in case I have to do some troubleshooting. Thx for the suggestion tho.
WVcachi - Your suggestion is what I went with. I tried the Gameboy color, NES and SNES versions of the tetris and my wife liked the NES version the best. I hadn't had any experience with emulators til now, and so far so good. Thanks again for the help both of you. What a great community this is!

Novice Wing Modder with Some Questions....

Hey folks, I got my Wing a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I had a treo before, and this makes me much happier. I had gotten into modding the UI a bit and playing around with the best combos of third-party software on my old treo, so I started playing with my Wing. Well, I've gotten probably mid-level with my technical modding competency thus far. I'm comfortable with most progs and mods I've found below actually flashing the ROM, and I'd think about that too, but I've gathered that most of the TF roms out have trouble on the Wing. So far, I'm overclocked to 260, tweaked some stuff in the registry, installed the HTC Touch UI minus the cube and all that, but I'm not quite happy. So, I have some questions:
On the HTC Home 5 tab skin:
1. Is there any way to put custom icons in the launcher area? Not just style-wise(though that would be good), but that link to things that aren't on the list? I'd really love to but a button that would take me to "settings" in there, like the one that takes you to "programs". I have a few other ideas too.
2. On the weather tab, I know there is a way to add cities to the "select city" list by getting the city code off of accuweather.com and changing the registry, but I can't figure out how to get the code for my city when I look it up on the site...I search it, and it comes up, but where is the code?
3. I put the HTC black theme on here, but I wondered, are there any others available? I know I've seen a blue one, and I think I've seen pictures of an HTC Touch that had a red theme....
Other Stuff:
1. I tried to up my page pool to 6mb like it says in the "all you need to know" thread, but the preparation app wont work....I install it, but nothing happens after that....I can't find it to open or anything else...Is installing it enough?
2. Is there any way to keep wm6 from putting the recently used programs on the start menu?
3. Is there any way to change the two links on the bottom bar that the soft keys are mapped to? Not change what the keys are mapped to, but like, change "Calendar" to "Settings" or "Contacts" to "Messaging", for example?
4. Is there anything out there that would let me navigate my phone with my finger? I know certain programs have this capability, like Opera Mobile's latest beta and PocketCM(which I use), but I'd like it on all windows that require scrolling....
Apps:
1. Anyone know the best app to use to stream radio and/or tv on my phone?
2. What's the best way to watch youtube? I wouldn't ask, but I've found like three or four different threads/articles on ways to do it, and I don't know which I should use. I prefer to use Opera as my browser, but I can use PIE now and then, if the process actually lets me watch it in my browser....
3. Can ya suggest any good games?
Well, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've been trolling here for a while, so I know there are some very smart people here and I have faith. Sorry for asking so much, and forgive me if I should have broken this up a bit into different threads, but I'm trying to perfect my phone, and this was basically what was left on my list....Any other tips on how to achieve my goal of making a nice, clean, finger-friendly UI and putting the picking the best apps would be appreciated too.
Peace.
Ok, I figured out the HTC weather thing, and the today softkey thing, so I'm good there. Any help on the rest?
I can cover a few for you but any more's gonna cost ya....
flash your phone with either of the touch roms out right now and you will be able to finger scroll in nearly all applications.
try avotmv, or search using google for similar programs for streaming videos(avotMv includes youtube as well as google).
Many streams to tv stations can be opened with WMP directly which makes it alot easier to connect to them by saving them as PIE favourites. You just need to find 'em first, I would suggest doing that from your computer first.
I've recommended Flux Challenge before, ill do it again...apart from that I don't run too many games from my pocket pc. Seal Volleyball is kinda fun too.
Maybe some others can assist you with the rest
cheers

Searching for applications

Hello. I have been searching the internet, without any luck though of finding the programs i want.
First, i want a program, like ShopSavvy is for the Android, where i can use it on my touch pro to scan barcodes of products and find the best price.
Second, i am wondering if there is a way to have Google Street View on the touch pro. I have already seen KDKobes Google Maps Street View 2.3.1, from our forum. I was wondering though if there is an "official" or "fully working" program, as in KDJobes program unfortunately, location-data support and GPS integration aren’t working with this version of Google Maps.
Third, i want a program, like I-phone has, for Drinks (bartender?), same cool skins and graphics environment maybe?
Fourth, again like I-phone has a program where you record a song on the phone and then it goes through the internet and finds you possible matches.
Please, bare with me, as i a m new and maybe i didn't have enough luck or "easiness" finding these type of programs i want. Yes maybe i saw some "looking like them but weren't afterwards the programs i wanted, cause their functionality wasn't after all what i was searching for and was mislead by their Title Name.
So if you please know any "freeware/ or have to buy" programs that are exaclty as the one's i have described please feel free to post and tell me.
Thank you very much in advance,
Chris
let's see
1. barcode readers:
i-nigma barcode reader
QuickMark 3.3
Aura - but donno if this still works.....
2. Street view is officially supported by the latest Google Maps
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
3. didn't heard of such a program for wm
4. i know a program it's called Music ID
hope that helps try to search harder next time
search diamond beer for a drink app that turns your phone into a glass of alcohol , if you mean a bartender then just do more searching also the site Fuzemobility.com is now your best friend go there all the time look at everything there . if you still haven changed ROMS on your phone i suggest you go get NRG's new winmo6.5 build 3.0 ROM . it has alot of improvements over the stock ROM , anymore questions just ask me
Is there an app that uses the GPS to track how much you've cycled and your speed etc? I think such apps exist for the iPhone but I'm looking for something for windows mobile.
gotta love fuzemobility lol

theres an app called track my run floating somewhere between here and fuzemobility.com
Just giving you a heads up don't go looking for everything that the Iphone has for your phone. Most of the time it will not be there. on to you questions
Shop savvy is a great program. Our closest thing is "Barcoroma"
Google street view. I use google maps from NRG'z Rom and I can get street view on it.
Drinks IDK your on you own for this one
Song recognition. Well try out Music ID works great for me.
Repository
Where does everyone go to get there the PPC software?
I go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php, although its not complete list and new releaase of an application can take a couple of days to make it to thier site. I find the site easy to navigate and search. The catagories and rating system help for filtering.
about the drink mix
i suggest watching this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496880&highlight=drinks
perhaps something will be done.

Fpsece

Hey i know people have gotten fpsece (wm playstation emulator if you didnt know) to work on the diamond and other wm.1 phones and i was wondering if anyones actually gotten it to run on the fuze ive been trying for like a week to get it to work and cant seem to find any help anywhere so if anyone could help me out or knows it wont work please tell me.
just copy your roms directly in the fpsece folder, not in the iso folder. where the exe is situated. worked for me but i say that the games are not that playable
ive tried that it still doesnt work
Victory!!!!!!!!! so stupid i should of tried this before i put it on the sd card thinking it would still work so i through fpsece on my phone memory and the games on the sd ant it works. awesome.

same here. Anyone know why the site is down? I was hoping 1.0 would hit today since it will allow faster fps for games. Rumor is 1.0 is finally finished but there will be a pay to use version too..
its been down for 2 days now... i dont know how much longer i can keep hitting the refresh button
bios...
alot of people have problems with fpsce be cause they dont select a bios. if you go to ppcwarez.org-game releases- find fpsce 9.6-a couple of post down a guy posted a zip with like 8 different bios. just extract those into the bios folder. run the emulator goto choose bios. i always select the spch1001. it was recomended to work with almost any game. people haveing problems with fps need to mess with the settings. and frameskipi always set it on 2. hope this helps people. i gotta TP and i run it all off my sd card.
ya ive got it to run halfway decent if its really slow try at least throwing the emulator on your phones memory and theirs not much way getting around using the storage card for the games i got it to run on average around 30fps but im playing ff7 and when the battle starts and ends it drops to like 7 its not that bad when i set the frame skip to at least 3 but everytime i hit a wrong button it screw up so i started using the keyboard in landscape but i dont know how to turn the sound off or change the frame skip if anyone knows how please tell me.
oh and the sites back up
landscape
well you gotta map the buttons, and also i set the menue button to enter on the fuze keyboard. once you get into the menue it brings up the on screen keyboard that fills the screen. from there you can go into options to change frameskip and disable the audio, also exit the emulator or continue back to the game. 1.0 will be out soon and ill buy that ****! theres a bluetooth controller mgp 100or something like that just google bluetooth gamepad and you should find it. its cool cuz it cradles your phone and the buttons are laid out like playstation. all games on the 1.0 have a significant boost in fps. caint wait!!
thanks i figured it out after i posted that but when i open the menu sometimes it rotates the screen when im pressing another button and wont let me rotate it back and ya i wish 1.0 was out but i think theyve been saying it was coming out for a long time so i wouldnt get too excited about it.
You guys are getting 30 fps because of your cpu clock speeds wich is 528mhz default, if no2chem developes a overclocking utility wich i think hes about to do in the coming months, htc raphaels and other msm72xx cpu devices will gain huge fps increase, depending on what OC tables he can come up with, and also if a working gpu plugin that supports openGL ES is ever release that will give a even greater fps incrase overall , so if this two are release the msm7xxx devices will most likely be the best phones for fpsece.
And btw im going to buy a touch pro soon so il be join you guys pretty soon.

That is most likely fake as no Alpha version of FPSEce was released today. Plus, you only have one post which reduces your credibility to nothing.

Apps that will make your friends jealous

Ok, so I have been around here a couple months silently eating up all the great info posted on this site. I have flashed my fair share of custom ROMs and have found one that I am comfortable with. So now I need to load up my TP with the best "goodies" I can find. Sure I can email, text, surf, dial...but I need MORE! Looking for cool apps that will help me get my moneys worth out of the device (and amaze my jealous friends). A couple fun ones that I have found include security apps, torch , sms bombers, shazam etc.. Any suggestions, .cabs and/or links for cool/fun apps would be greatly appreciated. Paid or freeware.
Sorry if this has been posted and I am sure there are individual threads for these apps but my patience is limited to 20 pages of forum digging and custom search phrases. I did find many "must have apps" threads but all seem to be for the android.
This would be good for me since I am a new Raphael user too.
Specifically if there is an alternative email client app that uses a different UI than the standard Outlook, meaning not ProfiMail or FlexMail
you can't go wrong with hdWobble, serach it
Warcraft 2 will make you the centre of attention.
Seriously look for it. It looks great and unlike many of the other 'impressive' ports, it is really fun and playable! I find fps games are a pain to conrol on this type of device.
Diamond hologram is really cool to. It uses the accelerometer to do a 3d effect on the screen.
Search these things up
The last couple of days I have been playing with PockeTwit. Cool little app. to play on Twitter.
Any emulator. especially the FPSECE playstation emulator, maybe mID, google maps?? WMwifirouter so they can use their ipod touchs to surf the web off your phone, youtube player,htorchflashlight...too many to name really.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention emulators like this one and PicoDrive works well for me to emulate Genesis ROMs. I played several games all the way through, ppl go nuts over Sonic, etc. So many great games on the system.
Many emulators I find work well enough to show off, but when it comes to quality of play they are limited. For example, without mapping of keyboard, using an "on screen" controller paddle, you are unable to simultaneously hit 2 "buttons" at once, due to the limitations of the resistive touch screen (no multi-touch). So for Mario turning mid-jump, forget it. To have the keyboard slid open while playing these emulators typically results in terrible performance, only a few ppl with a select combination of settings and ROM and d3d drivers managed to make it run reasonably with keyboard open.
im sorry mate but whoever told you that resistive screens dont support multitouch lied to you in the face.
there is multitouch out ther it just is in proper use by every one , take a look at fuzemobility and search there . there is an article on it along with a playstation controler completely mapped out to use multitouches ,no lie ! . the idea behind it is when you touch two places the place the exact same distance from both of them is registered, so with good placement and good mapping its possible :]
Slide to unlock has to be the best app for this phone hands Down..
I cant stand the basic winmoble unlock feature this one gives you the iphone slide to unlock so far works great for me..

Personally I like the netflix account one along with the getsportz. I have also played with WebTV and a few bartending apps. I would also like to mention RSSHub and BeejiveIM as nice apps... I dont use facebook but there are a lot of social netowkring apps to show off if you do use them.
As for showing off... I personally like TF3D2... with the people tab and the stock tab!!! Apple has nothing on us with those two tabs.
And if you liek games there a thread with a super and mega pack of games that you can get and it will install a ton fo games to play with.

Impressive doesnt always mean eye-candy....
Have them bring along their laptops and whip out WMWifiRouter.
People are always impressed when I whip out iGo with TTS enabled.
Skyfire with MS Silverlight 2 support is pretty friggin awesome considering it has (and is) taking linux programmers months to get going on their systems.
MS Voice command is another...tell your phone to play music by tracks and artists and have it read aloud text messages. Not availible on the iphone until just recently I believe.
Any capacitive programs (touchlockpro and how you can program a personal "touch" combination to unlock your phone also gscroll
Incallrecording...
Software that will text you with the SIM card information and exact (by GPS) location of your phone in the event it is stolen and another sim card is placed in it..
The list goes on and on...but the best thing I like is that it makes calls!! I say WOW everytime it rings!!!
