Pfft didn't work on my Evo either.

So you can confirm it doesn't work on the Xoom?

Ya I can confirm ti doesn't work yet... seems to not be supported for 3.0 yet... but then again most devs are waiting for AOSP to drop so that can take advantage of integrating the Tegra chip fully

Prior to purchasing, I emailed the dev to confirm that it would work on my Xoom and was assured it would.
It took all of my 15 minute return window to get it set up and test it, only to find that it doesn't want to play nice w/my Xoom (it works well on my D1 though).
I have emailed the dev and they have had me send them logs from my PC and Xoom and assure me that they will get it working or they will refund me.
I really appreciates me some good communication!

Did they ever get it working? or give your $$ back... I really want to get this app but I've heard bad things about it on honeycomb/Xoom (is there a difference at this point?)

i have it and it works fine on the xoom. synch and resolutions issues, but no different from my nexus s

Seems to work...

It works but performance is not what I would call stellar. There is significant lagtime for movements and the refresh rate is closer to a slide show than anything.
I have kept it because it does work and I am hopeful over time they will improve performance.

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.

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...

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.

Killswitch - looking for honeycomb beta testers

Hey guys! We are about to release an application for tablets and phones that will allow you to put the device into standby just by closing the case.
A closed beta is available to select XDA members, and we would like to test more on people's XOOMs.
You can find the app thread HERE.
i'll beta test it.
What kind of Case must you use for the Xoom, the portfolio one Moto puts out?
Count me in for this one.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I'm in as well. Sounds fantastic
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Count me in. I have a xoom and a galaxy tab.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

I noticed a little bug. As I move back and forth at my desk. The program tries to close my screen. Is there a way to uninstall this?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Guys, developer already wrote that they took 10 (!) testers and others just missed the train, so we shall wait for an open beta test if there will be any (doubt it will)
I got in on the test. I have noticed one problem. If someone stands over you or there is a shadow killswitch will start to engage. It maybe a setting just need to play w/ it more.
Hey everyone, and thanks to all the beta testers! Just an FIY, the app is now out, you can find its thread in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
It has now been tested thorougly on my own Xoom and is working fine! To avoid accidental activations, read the Help and Tips section carefully and set a higher activation delay time.
I have it at 8 seconds and rarely have any issues...
Great, works fine on all my devices
Eer, this expired a month ago!
Hi ... I just purchased this and figured I would be able to spoof a cover by simply covering the sensor (at the opposite location to the camera) with my finger briefly but this doesn't seem to do the trick, but if I cover the front with a pad then it does go off. Is there another sensor I am not seeing?
I also expected it to auto wake when uncovered? If I enable unlock on screen then the volume keys at least seem to wake it up which is a bonus I guess
Sent from my MZ604 using XDA Premium App
The light sensor is quite hard to spot. Its 2.5 cm to the left of the front facing camera.
The autounlock feature is supposed to work like that. Please, read the help file!
Great ... that makes it easier to test ... but I can't get it to wake. It seems the volume key is not even waking it now either.

This functionality is broken by tegra drivers on honeycomb - but works on all other devices...
OK... so are you working to get around this? Or will 3.1 fix it? Or is the function just broken forever? Without it the app is nowhere near as useful :-(

Weve been busy prepping for the release of RCB and i havent had time to tinker with killswitch for a few weeks!
I have thought about it though, and there is a workaround. Trouble is, it would mean the tablet wouldnt really sleep.
However... there is a hack i have been using myself, but it would mean root and some nasty errors on many devices.
Atm you can already do something similar yourself using a key remapper. Search the forums for a compatible one.
I promise though i will add some root functions to killswitch.

[Q] Netflix possible on Hero?

I'm not requesting this or anything; I'm just curious. Would it be possible to make Netflix work on our phone? Or what is it about our phones that makes it not work?
Thanks.
Whoa. Is netflix even on the android yet? Because that would be sweet.
Yeah it is, you can find the apk on XDA, but videos won't play on the Hero...you can browse the instant play queue, but that's it. I am trying a few of the widely talked about edits to spoof it into playing but no go on the Hero yet.
Tried:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
and
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Neither worked for me...I get to where the video will appear to be loading, then the app kicks back to the main screen.
you would need flash 10 for netflix to dont u or do they have it mobile formated now.
I believe it's mobile formatted...it plays fine on my iPod Touch...

That's what I was thinking about trying too. I'm thinking the app itself needs to be changed somehow, but I'm a newb so it's just a guess. I don't know if it's even possible to do that.

just becarefull when your modding apks because everyone got into trouble for fixing angry birds awhile back my suggestion is if you get it working keep it for yourself. and dont distrebute it on xda.

Yeah Nexus One has been tried...not by me, but others who haven't been able to get it working.

I hope we won't get into trouble. I would imagine they would praise the mod since it'll allow pre-existing customers to access their paid service account.
Just tried this, didn't work. Even got rid of at least some of the heroc's.

^^^^^DOES NOT WORK^^^^^
im pretty confident it will not work on the hero ever same reason as flash, i know they said they would only be supporting new snapdragon processors due to some sort of DRM compliance
i am also pretty sure that it needs an ARMv7 processor for some sort of hardware acceleration much the same way flash does, so its going to be more than just some build prop edits
best chance of it working
drm.apk from evo
build.prop edit
alot of luck

The Optimus S/V has it working, they have a ARMv6 like us. Also, according to someone's twitter update (just saying, it might be true) Random Google Search they got it working on the HTC Hero.

That's what I've gotten so far. I only used the method in the description, and I posted above.
It just uploaded, so I don't know if it's public yet.
i almost wonder if it has something to do with it not really having a GPU thats all excuses though i honestly thought it was cause by what i posted so this is awesome proof of concept guys keep up the good work
Trying the Optimus' way now. Hopefully it'll work. I'd love to have this on my phone, even though it will overheat the heck out of my battery .
By the way, I'm on AOSPCMOD 4/29, and it worked with AOSP's other ROM for the Optimus V. But then again, they have a working screen on-off animation, and we don't .
That I am pretty sure is because of the gpu esp for how choppy they were when they do work

It sounds like *some* evo owners on GB can't get it either, since they are still officially on froyo... They are a supported device.

Yes, I noticed this several days ago, and i'm sure they removed it because they were sick of the low ratings since it didn't scale correctly.
The letters were cut off at the bottom so u could only see 3/4 of it, people kept down rating it because of that. E looked like F unless you physically moved the tile out to see the bottom.
And it still says this on the market page:
"We are actively working on improving the Words With Friends as much as possible. Players can look forward to expecting a Honeycomb version soon."
So like i said, I'm sure we will beable to download it again once it's fixed and an official tablet version is released. And yes, that update notification was a month ago like i said.
I submitted a ticket to voice my opinion. Us Honeycombers need to speak up if we want more app support.

Yep, I hope the honeycomb one comes out soon like it says!
It was cut off at the bottom, but it was still playable. I don't see why they had to remove support while they get their act together for honeycomb.
I opened my app today and it says "An upgrade is available, click OK to upgrade" (no other options). I click OK and am redireted to the Market, where I am unable to upgrade because my device is no longer supported. I go back ot the app and am greeted with the same message telling me to "upgrade" with no "cancel" or "later" option, just "OK"
The box refuses to go away (back button doesn't work either) so I'm unable to play. This is utterly moronic.

Wanting more honeycomb apps is fine but make sure you complain to the right people. If zynga is for sure already working on a honeycomb version then bugging them is useless. Bug the companies or devs who haven't considered honeycomb yet. If the note zynga placed on the market isn't enough hopefully this youtube is
