Launch Roms from the Desktop?

Hey guys,
I've just installed some great emulators, Gameboid, Gensoid, Nesoid and Snesoid which I am REALLY Impressed on.
I was just woundering if it is possible to for example, make a folder on the home screen called "Games" and have "Donkey Kong Country" in there for when I open it it launches the Snesoid app and loads the DKC rom?
I hope you understand what I'm on about, am not very good at explaining things LOL

I don't know much about how Better Cut works, but I'd assume if you can find the activity call you should be able to launch a rom from it. Google around?

Sounds like something you'd have to pester the developer about.

the emeulator does not seem to have a file type assoication set up. many apps have one set up so if you install the app, then open associated file in astro(file manager) it will give you the option to open it with that app. if that works you can use astro to make a shortcut to the file on the desktop and open it from there, but these emulators dont seem to have file associations. ask the devloper, he is constantly updating so im shure he would be willing to do it

Writing a plugin capable app

I've seen various devs offering apps allowing use of 3rd party plugins and was wondering the technique they use to find and load these plugins into their own app. This might come in handy in the future for me.
Thanks.

I am also looking into something like this. Ill share if i find anything.

Autostart Lock 2.0

Hi guys, I have been using Lock 2.0 and I think it's a great app, only problem is that after a reboot it doesn't auto-start itself, I have to go and re-open the app for it to re-enable it, does anyone know how to make the app auto-start after a reboot?

i would be interested in a way to autostart any app. if someone knows how to accomplish this please let us know. i am willing and knowing to edit system files, sqlite databases and also teh contents of .apk to achieve this.

I did find this app:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.nk-bla-android-autostart-qmnB.aspx
I have no idea how to do what it says in the description though so can't try it out, if you want to give it a go and know how to accomplish the task in the description, please could you tell me how to do it? cheers

it runs a shell script on startup. there are at least 5 different ways to accomplish this with android on-board tools, the problem here is: how do i start an app from a script/commandline?

[Q] Using G1 as surveillance camera?

Im thinking about taking some rooted g1s and using them as surveillance cameras. I've searched for a while and cant seem to find anything on it. Has this been done? If so what's involved? Thanks

The closest application I can think of is QIK, you can run the application and check the video on a website.

thanks man I'll look in to that

you need four things:
wifi
g1
ipcamviewer
webkey (though I've never used it, I imagine tasker, also would be great for this)
oh and a power source
also webkey is so you can remotely control the phone... both the apps are free in the market.
if you make any improvements on my "system" let me know, I'd be interested to hear what you find.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's also the Ustream app which is similar to Qik, but the solution of the guy I quoted looks like the better option.

Juice Defender Question

For anyone who may use this program can you answer a quick question for me? Can I control what apps are allowed to use data? For example I have a game like Dice with Buddies. I can not turn off or control when it looks for updates/new games. I'd like it to only search when I open the app. Could juice defender allow me to stop that without disabling the app? Maybe stick it on a 8 hour timer or something like that? Just wondering. Also do you find that it works well?
