Hi all.
People notice my phone and keep saying -
"What's that?"
"Who makes it?"
"What does it do?"
"Is it an iPhone"
So I am asking for suggestions, what is the best way and software to show off what these things are, and what they can do?
Thanks,
B
I show off TouchFlo
I show off Touch Flo, Skyfire, TomTom, remote desktop, vnc, the keyboard, the tilt screen, the copy and paste, ect.
turn the screen brightness all the way up. turn the sound all the way up. and scroll through manilla looking for something to do.
LOL !
I get the same damn iPhone question since I have the VZW Touch. First I say it's HTC, then it's WTF is HTC? Then they see my Vista WAD theme, and want to play with everything. The S2P, Opera, Multiplayer Poker, and some are amazed I can open '07 Excel and Word files. Not to mention, after ThrottleLock pops up, they have no idea what to do !
Some people are amazed at it, and we find it somewhat simple. There was a customer I was talking to once, and she was giving me a small order. I write down the order in notes, calculate the prices, then make a phone call. All the while she had no idea it was a phone to begin with.
But nobody knows my secret......GPS tracking with RT, shhhhh!!!!
Gremote, remote desktop to show off the hi res, gyrator.
If you have RemoteTracker, that is an awesome tool to show off.
Teeter is always a winner. If they're a gamer, COD2 in HW accel mode is pretty awesome.
Let's be honest, it's a geek's plaything and some folk just won't get it.
I got my hands on an iPhone for the first time today. It was very nice, and I played with it for a bit. We got it at my work as a test phone. The app support guy asked me if I wanted to take it home for the weekend to play with, as he knows I'm a smartphone nut.
You know what? I couldn't be bothered. For me, iPhone is not the future. I thought, great, a toy for the weekend. Then I thought about what I might play with and just lost interest. I love the way it's pushed the industry forward, don't get me wrong.
I think they're not so great for geeks like me who like to hack around.
Elite rom is nearly out (tonight? hopefully), and the linux guys are making amazing strides with Android. The exciting thing for me having the touch pro as a hobby gadget, is that the potential has nowhere near been reached.
Great thread!!!
LOL
I have the same question almost in any place I go (And my Uni is form 2005)
Nobody seems to know what the hell is that thing?
One day I forgot it in a taxi and the driver said to me: "Hey you forgot your calculator" LOL
I find almost imposible to explain what I have on my hands
Cheers to all

I have a hot-key set to play a .wav file a wave file of an electric razor, then pretend like I'm shaving with it after I finish a call. It's great fun in a bank line

Haha awesome!!!
show it off in the club, and when ever someone needs to use a phone...you have one right here....then they are like "how do i use this?" oh...you go like this *scroll through manilla, and do a quick copy and paste....wait sorry i didnt mean to do that, here - you just do this to make a call
LOL
LMFAO!!!!
Well, here where I live, as soon as you meet people, i dunno, for lunch, you place your phones on top of the table. HTC is new here, but people are still fab about the iPhone and now the Blackberries, but I used "Manila" on my Elfin, and the phone is so small, light and Manila just ROCKS! Bar-None, as I said in a post, not only trendy women, but people who depend on their phones would flip through TouchFlo and see the Home screen, contacts, SMS, Email, weather, and Browser so FAST, SIMPLE and BEAUTFUL.....suddenly.....their phone feels.......like a stale piece of bread? LOL!!!!!!

*lol* I keep telling people "this is a HTC device I´m using, its not an iPhone, but in some terms better".
Apps to show-off in my oppinion: Browsing with Opera, TomTom, S2U2, S2P, S2V and of course Manilla2D. Nevertheless, since my brother´s got a Diamond I know that the possibilities to show off with my polaris are quite...limited xD
So my suggestion: Just buy Diamond/HD and pack it with G-Sensor apps, games, show Manilla theming and skinning stuff (which the iPhone is not able to do )

I've put a shortcut to a mp3 i made at zedge.net using the voice tool called hello phone
in my start menu. Then using microsoft voice command the coversation goes like this
Me - Start hello phone
Phone - Hello darren, how are you?
Me - I'm fine, now shut up.
Phone - ok, I'm sorry for disturbing you
Gonna try to make a really long sophisticated one soon
I press a couple numbers and press Send. They're amazed by the voices on the other side of the phone.
I'm sure you've already seen my post on the font from the zHD. If not see here.
Anyway, I don't have the expertise nor the time to make a full Zune theme. Here are some resources I made that could be useful if anyone gets the initiative to make a theme *wink wink @cacheinjection* lol. Anyway, I know at least one other person had expressed interest in this in the other thread.
I've attached the android-logo-shine.png file with a Zune gradient, and two boot screens designed as splash1 screens for now. Feel free to use them as you like, just give me credit please. I will be updating this post as I add more items to it.
Feel free to contribute some of your own icons, next up I have some media icons. If I finish my homework, they'll be up later tonight, if not then it'll be tomorrow night.
I AM VERRRY INTERESTED. My brother has a zune hd and i'm jealous
So yea. Very interested. very.
Cacheinjection is Da Man!

Ditto. Cache rocks, and yeah I love my zHD. At first I was wary of switching from carrying my iPhone to my G1 and a Zune, but the Zune media interface & the subscription service is WAY better than the iPhone media ecosystem, and they have way better sound quality. Then of course Android could kick the living crap out of any iPhone on Earth.
Also, I just now finished my homework, and since I have 3rd qtr finals tomorrow I'm gunna catch some z's. New icons tomorrow.
Very Nice! I like it.

nice to hear. Yea, I have an ipod touch and my bro's ZHD is much better. in many respects! especially cuz theres a facebook app now.
What app did you put on market that has enough downloads to get you a N1?
im workin on one for galaxy s devices... hopefully itll be up and runnin soon!
Looking forward to see your theme. Since you develop for the Epic. Also can't wait to see the icons
I'm currently changing elements on my phone to have more Zune/WP7-like looks. I posted screenshots of my homescreen in the show-off thread, but I'm about to start attempting to make my notifcation bar and tray look a bit more Zune and/or WP7 ish. I'll post whatever images I come up with, starting with my boot animation (based on OP's android_logo_shine.png).
I just saw this game on another site and decided to give it a try since it's free. I've been want Words With Friends or a decent clone for awhile. Wordwise Pro just doesn't fit the bill. So far WordFeud is great given it's really new.
http://wordfeud.com/
PS: I'm not getting paid to promote this. It's just really fun and I'd though I'd share.
Add me if you want to play. My ID is Snapshotx
Awesome! I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much. Just started playing you, username is Foobu.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been missing "Words with Friends"
Anyone can add me for a game as well. My ID is dweebs0r.
wioooow this is the most exciting day I have ever had work my captivate, please people just uninstall word wize loool, that's is it,this is actually better than words with friends, all it needs is sounds, and an option to pay for a add free version, if they make this a cross platform words with friends is going to be yesterdays news
The reason I want words with friends is so that I can play with my fiancee on her iPhone.
tell get to get a android then you can be reunited with word feud again lol
Having alot of problems staying connected
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its been working flawless for me and all my friends maybe its your network or something
my mistake, yes it isn't working at all now, even there website is down, seams like words with friends bought them out lol
Back up and working

Been playing it with my coworker since this morning, lol... Btw, is there a way to resign even if it's not your turn yet?
yes, this is MUCH better than WordWize - almost exactly like WWF.... if anyone is up for a game, feel free to invite me: Aftashok is the name.
man I used to LOVE words with friends on my iPhone. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
If anyone wants to play just add: smeltn
i wish the game would incorporate a ratings system and win/loss records..... the competitive me wishes for such things.
Wish there was at least a paid version to get rid of ads, hopefully that will come cause i dont mind paying a dollar to support the developer on this, pretty good so far and the people over at WWF probably wont release anything for a while. Thought that games that were won/lost didnt go away but apparently they do after 2 days, needs to be sooner than that or user removable.
Name: hollaholla
Sweet!
Mine is TexUS.
It'd be nice if WWF would show up on here though so I can play with iPhone people.
This game uses a lot of data, like 1MB in 1 Minute.
Is there anyway to stop it from using data when you're not in a WiFi area?
thanks for the heads up...
awesome game...
PS: not to thread-jack, but has anyone found a good boggle clone out there... with randomly oriented letters like the real game?

check out wordup. it's a "boggle-like" game.
on topic, word feud is fun. checking out how much batt. it takes with the push notification and multiple games. add me for games: funthony.
I gave this a try a few weeks ago, after using WordWise for 2 months...and I wasn't a big fan. The lack of a paid version, updates, and stat tracking was kind of a deal breaker.
WordWise was admittedly spartan when it first came out...but the developer updates the app fairly regularly, so I think I'mma stick with that one...until it gets abandoned or WordFeud updates. Heh.
I didn't create this app, nor do I take credit for having anything to do with it. Just spreading the word about something FREE (and cheap for the full game, for what it is) and IMO pretty bad ass too. I will be maintaining this thread as a player list parallel with the one in the Evo forums, to try to get all us XDA Folks together! So if your just looking for ppl to play with, scroll down about halfway. If you never heard of the game though, read on:
A new game has been released into our lovely market in an open beta stage called "Pocket Legends" (Feel free to search for it on the market itll come up as "Pocket legends beta client 3d mmo") It is a free, fully 3d, Diablo/WoW style MMO that you can play even on 3g! With people all over the world. Included people on their Iphailz. I created an account and logged in and have been pretty addicted to it ever since. Good quality for a phone game, and the fact that its actually real-time multiplayer makes it even more delightful. First game like this for Android I have seen yet, and I figure as many of you are likely nerdy like myself, you will love it.
Game Features:
- Consignment Shoppe
- Play over Edge, 3g, or Wifi
- Avatar Customizations
- Trial Accounts
- Leaderboards
- Quests
- Open World
- Secure Trade
- PvP (Deathmatch and CTF)
- Gifting
- Stashing
- Vendors
- Conversations
- Friends
Should be able to find it with a simple market search, but if for some reason you can't here's a link to the apk:

ive been playing this since i saw your post add me =d names acezfun
newby still but i love mmos!
Yeah, just an update, after browsing around some more and finding more about it, it seems the only reason that it's free is because the later levels require you pay for the stages. Either way, still an excellent game even if you don't pay it will offer hours of fun. Also there is an item mall for acquiring certain powerful items easily. Most things seem very cheap though (compared to PC game item malls), and either way I will probably throw a few bucks into it later. I don't mind supporting such a promising project.
Regardless, it's extremely bad ass concept, an excellent multiplayer experience, and something unlike anything we've seen on android to date. I can guarantee everyone that.
Edit: Don't worry about being anoob, nows a great time to start playing, almost everyone on android (besides who participated in the closed beta) is a noob! Got alot of iphoners at a decent level, though! Again, my name is XHydraulic let's get on and have an all-epic experience (lol)
xhyperion is my warrior. Add me. I'm probably gonna spend in thus game once I get to a certain level. That ctf and pvp stuff looks interesting.

i dont know about you guys but the "add name" doesnt seem to function yet i typed in your and XHyraulic's and hit enter and the name disappears but thats all that happens!! am i doin something wrong or is it just a bug to be fixed please cofirm guys
Man i gotta agree this game is awesomely fun, and a GREAT battery tester
everyone should sign up and play, if gives me the feel of a cartoony flash game, but a decent flash game. and all the mindless fun of a mmo. but WoW it's not.
Yeah, it seems to have a nice concept, enough depth to keep it fun through some high level grinding (once more people are around as well), enough item stats to make things interesting, the first ACTUAL realtime combat MMO out... etc. I'm lvl 7 and still not bored with it yet.
BTW, I dont think the add friend feature was added until recently, but the last 2-3 days there have been like 3 updates. So check your downloads in the market. Add friend wasnt implemented for a good while, but Im pretty sure it does work now. Tonight after the wife goes to bed (About 2-3 hours from the time of this posting) I will get on and attempt to add all of you.
I, too, will spend the in game money once I get to the free level cap. I don't mind, for a game that seems to be worth it. Like I said its not that much anyways, compared to the PC MMos item malls/premium stuffs.
Xhydraulic lvl 7 warrior feel free to add me if adding friends works if not lets keep this thread for when you can!
Edit: Will edit OP Post to include all users interested in adding each other on this game. So if you post your name somewhere in this thread itll be added to OP for users to see right away.
Teknosis is my lv 5 warrior name, Paiebak is my lv 2 enchantress.
Edit: double post.
I dont play that often for now but I can squeeze some time every now and then.
Im switching to my mage. Her name is Limits. I play mostly late night around midnight eastern time. add me if you are looking for someone to run instances.
does agility increase crits with magic based weapons?
I'm an Archer.... JirafaBo
I didn't know you could add people with out bumping into them in the game... But I'm not usually an MMO player. So far having fun with this one though.
d2>all they should make a way to play it on android devices, that would be sweeeet, this game is ok
BrutalBrutus the Warrior! Look me up

Hi Everyone!
I'm a long time Windows Phone advocate... Though I guess most of you guys must be as well, if you belong to a Windows Phone forum, haha.
Anyway, I wanted to get on here and spread the word a bit about an app I've been working on. I'm no professional developer. Heck I can hardly write actual code. I pretty much just stick with "Design View" in Blend and only occasionally venture into the unknown abyss that is "Code View."
Developing is just a hobby, though anytime a hobby can bring in money is definitely a plus. I'm a senior in college and a Psychology/Sociology major. Again, not much experience in non-hobby-based computing/developing. I also great enjoy the Dragon Ball series, as it's my favorite anime. My love of Dragon Ball, coupled with my love of Windows Phone is really why I chose to begin developing.
But that was just a little bit about me. Here's information about my app:
Dragon Ball Z: Transformation Guide is an informational app that delves into the many transformations that take place throughout the anime classic, Dragon Ball Z. It contains synopses, pictures, tables (listing who all have encountered such transformations as well as when (specific Manga Chapter and TV Episode/Movie).
Fairly recent additions to the app include Image Galleries, tapping to zoom on images, and TONS of awesome transformations spanning all episodes of the three series (DB/Z/GT) as well as from all 18 movies, including the newest, Battle of Gods!
As a one-man developer, I'm finding it pretty tough to market the app and get it popular, so hopefully exposing here will help with that!
Also, if you download it, and enjoy it, please rate and review it! If you have any suggestion, please feel free to message me here and let me know your suggestions, as well as tips, if you have any
Thanks

thank for share. i like dragon ball
