I've been playing Paradise island for about a week now.
I'm loving it.
So thought I would share some tips and hopefully get some back.
Currently I am level 12.
When starting the game best things to do.
build 40 roads ( or 400 if you are bored)
This gives you a free $1250 plus 40xp
leave the screen on for 3
This gives you $5000
Plant 5 flowers ( costs $1500)
gives you $3000 plus 200 XP
Move your first buildings 20 times
gives you £1500 and 50xp
This means you start the game with an extra $9250 and 290xp
Once you are high enough level get a business centre you get 1 of the special money every day save that up for expansions.
Odd achievements
Do 5 things in a moment.
I spent ages trying to collect money as fast as i could.
For this you need to pay the extra and do a instant build.
Secret achievements I have
Stop the hum/rumble ( cant remember the name it changes once you get it)
move to solar power only.
Hotdog fan
$4000 200xp
Build 15 hotdog stands
Atristocrat
Build 3 golf clubs at the same time
$75000 1250xp
We remember about the defender
Build two hold defenders simultaneously
$30000 and 1500xp
Hope people can add to this and it doesn't just get lost in the void.
thanks for the tips
I have also started playing the game recently but got bored by having to move those buildings and making roads
Will try your tips

Also hotdog stands are great at the start only give you $70 but you get one XP every 2 mins. So.have like 10 and you will level up much faster.

It moves the fence a little bit thats all once you buy all the expantions the fence goes. And by expantion 6 you get the helipad

To add to the "hidden message" in the OP:
If you use the system clock to advance the time, you will notice that if you advance it a week, you have to wait a week for the game to catch up to it before you can play normally again. However, there is a way around this.
All you have to do is put something in storage and place it back on the map. Once you do that, the clock resets on that building and you don't have to wait for the game to catch up to the date that you advanced it to. However, you would have to place every individual building in storage and back on the map in order to reset everything on the map. This can get annoying once you expand a few regions and you have a bunch of buildings, so keep that in mind.
Developers of Paradise Island have blocked the time trick with last update

I had a back-up done with Titanium Backup that allowed me to restore the previous version. Coincidentally enough, I had done a backup the day before the new version came out, so I was able to restore it hardly lose any progress I had made.
Yay me!
Started playing yesterday. You have to spend a lot of time at the beginning. I'm lvl8 now and just built the business center and the galaxy restaurant (improving atm). Now I want to get rid of all those "fast money makers" so I can check every hour to collect my money and thats it I moved tree's like an idiot lol, but I got the skillfull designer achievement. now I have to move another 1k facilities, LOL!
question about "the sun only"-achievement:
If I get rid of all my windmill's and build a solar power plant for 60k I'll get the achivement + 200k? seems very fair to me and what if I rebuild some windmills afterwards? will I lose 200k?^^

I googled a bit about "the sun only"-achievement. many complained about not getting the reward allthough they have a solar plant and no windmills. lets hope this is not happening to me, just started building a solar plant. when its done I'm gonna destroy the windmills, hope the achievement's gonna trigger
I really like it ^_^

So my wife had a Droid 1 which I have rooted and backed up with TB. No she has a Droid Charge and would like her island game moved to the new phone along with her progress. Seeing how I cant root her phone yet (ver. ed2) Is there a way to move the app over and bring the data with it?
Not sure where else in the forums to post this question.
Thanks

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!
Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.
I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....
Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.
I managed to get the free Monopoly on Amazon a couple of days ago and I've managed to play about 3-4 games.
I feel that the game is rigged. The AI has a high probability of rolling doubles, landing on your mortgaged properties and getting extra bonuses. It's crazy!
I'm playing now as we speak and the AI will constantly land on the same piece when rolling doubles. That piece happens to be mortgage. When I pass the $200 spot on a double I conveniently land on a Luxury tax of -$200 making the $200 I just banked irrelevant.
Anybody here have that same thing happen to them?
Of course, what else would drive you to play more? Winning isn't as fun if you do alot

I've beat the computer 5 out of 7 games. Are you sure you don't just suck at monopoly?
I'm talking about the:
-constant double rolls (consecutively).
-I own the whole side but the AI manages to roll and rarely land on my property.
-How I land on the corner $200 bonus on a double and next roll land on a Luxury tax which rapes me on the $200 I just made.
I should record the BS. It's addicting and annoying at the same time.

I had similar issues......though I can't say the AI of the game is intentionally "cheating" or not...
When I had property with hotels the "computer" would roll and land on "Free Parking (right before my properties) and then roll to either land on Community Chest (a three I think) or beyond. It did this about 7 times in a row (landing on Free Parking then just missing all my hotel'd properties).
It also (same game) had me roll 'three in a row doubles' (go to jail) six times and land on "Go to Jail" six times. I found it odd that I was rolling so many doubles and landing on Go To Jail so many times.......in a row. Luckily I had high bank from owning all the railroads and all the utilities.....so I could afford to pay to get out of jail and not worry about constantly missing my turns passing go.
I still beat it. At least on that game....
I might actually give this game a go lol, I might actually win for once
I agree with everything you are saying. It does roll a ridiculous amount of doubles, lands on Go to Jail all the time, and always lands on Luxury/Income Tax. With all that though, it hasn't prevented me from winning. Won 8/10 on Hard, and 5/9 on Medium.

Word of warning.
This game will totally clog up your gallery with random pictures from the game, I deleted the pictures from mine and the game is now just plain white, no colour what so ever, i tried uninstalling reinstalling and it was still like this, anyway now i have the 4.0.4 update on my Xoom and "Your device isn't compatible with this version."
Yaaay
I actually liked this game too.
A little Java with a splash of smali will do the trick.
Use Java to create a textbox. Put your desired die roll outcome in the textbox.
Find RollDice.smali
Find where it gets the roll value. Likely a random number algorithm.
change it to dice.getValue(mytextbox.getValue());
Win every time!

HI, sorry for the double post but cant anyone help.

Would really be grateful for some help.

It just needs to be in the very first directory (sdcard/game) then reboot. If it's still there clear the cache for gallery.

sorry guys but I have to share this info so you wont be ripped off like I did.
Robot invader the software company creator of the game wind up knight is acting like what many can call illegal.
as any other game or app I purchase in android market I expect to get it back once I format my phone every now and then.
well this guys at robot invader decided that the game its non transferable to other devices and non refundable. so far so good. what you (as I) are not expecting is that once you format your phone youll lose the purchased stuff for the eternity.
Im not a laywer but this pratice sure as hell dont feel right.
if you share my opinion please comment.
and maybe the guys at robot invader start doing things right when we all start using the cracked versions. cause I sure aint gonna buy nothing from robot invader again in my life.
regards,
remorema
This happened to me too. I fell on love with the game and when the option came up to purchase it l decided to.
However, yes, on formatting my phone and installing new software my purchases were gone.
I did contact robot invader about the issue and they did give me a 1 use code to restore the entire game, but I didn't really see the point as I do eventually flash new firmware.
I'm surprised Google lets this happen really.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I sent them an email to. lets wait and see if they give me any kind of code. at least that way next time I may save it with titanium backup
edit: they could try something like tap tap revolution. its binded to one phone but at least you can recover the purchased goodies
edit2: they ended up giving me a code after exchangin 3 or 4 emails. poor solution imo. no more money from me to robot invader thats for sure. but to be fair the game is awesome.

I really wish Microsoft didn't skimp on the power supplies. I miss my Chipped Xbox :crying:
Seriously though, you have 2 choices right now -- read the SafeStrap thread and start using SSR to get into custom roms or wait for the bootloader unlock exploit to be released and start custom romming with fastboot and a proper TWRP or CWM for backups. If I were you I'd wait for the latter.
I got into Android phone 2 years ago with the Moto Bravo. At the time, our choices for roms were a Stock Deodexed and a halfway working Defy CM7 port. There were a few power users left, but most had already jumped ship for better phones. Soon I was left with the choices of being stuck with that or try to learn something. Been learning ever since. Though if it weren't for XDA user Quarx I probably wouldn't have learned near as much as I have -- he's never taught me anything personally, but because he started supporting the Bravo it encouraged me to get into source which, in turn, made me learn much more.
A few hours reading the threads here and you should know the basics of AHD modding, but like I've been saying, most of that'll change soon.
I like direct, specific questions...so ask those
//I hate 360s cause I had four of em red-ring on me -- the last one was 12 hours after purchase -- Got home around 11pm, installed Oblivion to the drive, went to bed, woke up and it red-ringed. I had only had the damn thing powered on for 30 minutes total. Never had one last more than 2 months, seriously. Really bad product.
Wow to the hater. If u must know my life history I have probably been working with electronics and computers longer than you. But I had an unfortunate happenstance in my life that made me take a 8 year "vacation" at a wonderful " Men's Camp" so I am a little out of touch with today's tech. I was writing games back on my Tandy SL 1000 in GW basic. Do you even know what that is? And as far as Xbox and Xbox 360 those were child's play. And I rooted my phone in 2 hours having never even touched Linux or a smart phone before. And the syntax in the tut was screwed up. If I was such a idiot how did I figure it out myself? It looked a lot like old does commands so I fiddled and Presto

Microsoft went cheap with thief solder and heatsink attachment system. Every one I got I immediately re-balled solder on GPU and CPU as wheel as added custom heatsinks and attachment method. They would work great. There was a time before my exodus that I made over 2 grand a week repairing 360s flashing firmware and customizing. I even had Pawn shops bringing me their consoles

I wasn't referring to you in the quote box, just my idiot friends who don't even know what a OS is, let alone anything about modding and tweaking ....and no I don't know what a Tandy SL is. Sorry if you took offence and that you though I was calling you an idiot -- I wasn't -- I just figured you had friends who were equally amazed by what guys like us consider to be "normal use". Ya know, CSB and all that. And, FYI, you probably do know more than me, but I don't really care. I know what I do and I try to learn more each day*.
I also rooted my first phone android phone within 15 minutes (a Bravo 2 years ago) and had this rooted in 5...but being able to read, follow directions, and figure it out when it doesn't work isn't a major accomplishment.
*Know any good sources to learn Java and C? I'm feeling like I've plateaued and I that I need to seriously learn a language if I'm gonna be able to advance in skills.

It's so parents have something to distract their kids with. But then really parents should be giving their attention to their kids.
You are right though the last time I gave my tablet to my niece to play with she step on it and broke the screen.

It would be good to teach them the value of the money...

i have a Moto Razr and Razr HD that my 3 and 5 year old use and i limit it to a few hours every couple days and no using in my truck unless its a long trip.
i have them both in cool kids protective cases so no worries there.
i REALY wish there was something as nice as the Kids Mode in a 3rd party app but with updates and then having to repick default launcher etc etc the 3rd party are just not that good.
i use a KitKat Launcher that i keep it on Airplane mode and have the stuff they can use on the home screens that infinite scroll and there is no app drawer or taskbar so you have to have a unique swipe to get to app drawer and setting for occasional app updates etc..
i also disabled hardware buttons and replaced with onscreen and that helped a LOT!
anyway not exactly on point but related

My 2 year old plays with learning apps on my old Ipad2 for no more than 30 min about every other day. She's learning while typically I'm preparing her dinner while the wife is at work still. If she breaks it, I'm not going to weep over it.
