Here we talk about themes and applications for the upcoming Moto Xoom!
Beeen messing with a 7' galaxy tab for the last couple of weeks, and have noticed only one non scalable app that doesn't fit the tablet, and that's engadget.
TweetDeck, and any of the main news and weather apps work and look fantastic. So can;t see why they won't fit 10'
This thing looks awesome already so i cant wait to see what the devs whip up to FURTHER increase the awesome. haha
I was pretty excited to hear Monster Madness ran well on it! Maybe the Sony suite might bring us some other ps3 quality games!
Existing apps in Android Market
Hi guys,
Has anyone seen a video and / or review or anything that shows how existing apps in Android market run on Motorola Xoom or any other 10" + screen size tablet.
kindly share your experience.
Thanks.
SpeedX updated for the Xoom can't wait to see how that plays.

yes I've used all these and many more many times over including the cool ones that dont work due to incompatible resolutions like vr tunnel, seeds of life, circuit board, pano planet earth rot ect...you have to work your mojo to get them to stick and they often wont stick forever (just turning off your screen will cause many of these to revert back to your last static wallpaper) but they can be made to stick long enough to impress your friends. the ONLY live wallpaper I've tried that absolutely will not work is Silhouette. It does a funky split screen stuff that just wont behave no matter what. none of the samsung ports have ever worked on my phone either.
Thanks! Got some of these installed! Anyone else? Some really good ones there!

I was wondering if any of the aquarium LWP's worked. I tried the two aniPET ones, and they don't work, but the idea of having a virtual fish tank on your screen is kind of cool =]
Oh, and this one works too. Its the one I'm using right now. SMB FTW!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710647
Edit: just installed the New York Giants one from WebApse. I don't know if the other one worked (from SilentDesign I think), but this one does. Even though the Giants have been done since week 17...still gotta love it =]
Can anyone tell me where I can get these and how I install them ?

first phone must be rooted and loaded with a rom that support live wallpapers (most froyo and eclair roms at this point). All the ones I listed are directly from the android market and most free.
It seems hit or miss which work and which don't some of those on the list didn't want to work on my phone.
Peace

some may have been updated to higher resolution, unsupported openGL (beautiful widgets weather for one) but for the most part all should work. I'm curious to which ones on the list didn't work for you.
thanks for this list. been hit and miss for which ones work on my rom. but good resource.
any that have updated to OpenGL ES wont work or wont work well:
Beautiful Widgets (old works great but if you dont have it backed up cant get it)
Nexxus Revamped (same. old works great, new is OpenGL ES)
list will probably get larger. do NOT do update if you see the update includes OpenGL ES (both the above describe in update description).
Anyone have The old nexus revamped?

HI!
I was wondering if someone can build a MIUI ROM for the LG Optimus 2x aka. STAR
And it been nice if we get the full flash on this mobile.
The all new drivers from Optimus 3D that works with 2x if it possible.
I had a Htc HD2 before my LG STAR and it cames updates every day taken from another phones.
Fun phone as hell but the hardware is no longer enough
Sorry for my english. I hope you guys anderstand what I mean!

The Nexus S also has a gyroscope...
Thats a pretty cool effect. Is it possible to do the same with a live wallpaper on android?
Theres a swedish dude working on it. Im guessing there will be a thread on XDA when its ready.
In order to detect the angle of a phone you need an accelerometer. Not a gyro.
You can determine the angle of a phone with a gyro by integrating it's results twice but that is not very accurate and the error (actual position - calculated position) will increase dramatically over time. This is not the case when using an accelerometer. It works by measuring the pull of gravity (acceleration) on the device. Ofcourse when the device is accelerating (for example while in a car) the results will be off.
It's easy, I will make it today for you
No offence but what does an iphone wallpaper app have to do with the optimus 2x? :|
3D Wallpaper Effect
I have done first version!
See them at the Market by name "3D Wallpaper Effect" (sorry I can't post URL's yet), also you can find my previous live wallpaper - "Green Live Wallpaper" at this market account too.
This Live Wallpaper for all Android phones, which support Live Wallpapers, not only LG Optimus 2x
In next releases, I will add selection of own images, tilt strength, and optimize refresh rate.
Waiting your feedback,
Regards!
Too bad i cant test it yet. My 2x hasnt been delivered yet and my g1 lags with live wallpapers so i guess it will be even slower with an 3d one.
Well i tried ur apk i like the idea but its verry sluggish and stuttering not yet the smooth effect that the itouch had in the vid but i geuss its a start
Sent from my amazing LG-P990 using XDA App
Please smooth out! This would be siiiick... also a different wp image would be better... lol water drops are to iphonish (blah)
Kewl!!!
Just work on the stuttering! Please!!!
Seems pretty cool, but not quite so effective wow effect as in the video... image "wiggle" a little when holding the phone... guess it's jus my shaky hands, but could it be fixed? Higher tollerance perhaps?
Smooth version will be soon.
Thanks for reply

Why make ppl search for "3D Wallpaper Effect" in the market when you can just link to https://market.android.com/details?id=by.live.drops

Great wallpaper... All it needs is to be more smooth and an option to select a different background.

It looks like we will be able to play awesome games on our dual-core monster
In plans are PSOne, and even PS2 games ports!
http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/playstation-suite-coming-to-tegra2.html
IMO nice move by Sony, looking forward to it!
Noted and very nice...
Hope it will be supported world-wide, would be cool to change O2X into gaming console and playing a few awesome PS games
Has anyone got Psx4Droid working on Optimus 2X? Or any other PSX Emu?... Would be cool if it is possible to extract the playstation apk from Xperia Play
FPSE is running like a boss for me. Definitely check it out, many fun times playing MGS and Crash Bandicoot to be had

Hello folks,
I've been looking around for a couple of games for the Nook STR. I've got several "slow movement" games to run properly: sudoku, reversi and gobandroid.
Is there any other recommended game? A RPG maybe? Maybe card games?
One Word - Samurai II.
[ Joking - sorry =( ]
Stop the spamming of the NOOK COLOR Themes and Apps forum.
There are areas for deviceces without own forum.

I don't agree... The Nook clearly deserves a forum more than most of the devices that have been crowded into those other forums. Not only that, the Nook is pretty much a Nook Color under the hood =\, so optimizations in the Nook Color could possibly be brought over if the devs or future devs are made more aware of what's going on with it.
Besides... Every Nook Touch topic i've seen is labeled with [N2E] not to hard to avoid =|
Chess works great! It is almost as if it were meant for it all along. I am surprised frankly that B&N didn't bundle a few little board game apps on the Nook2 in the first place.
Also, Akinator (guessing game) works as well.
Tic tac toe!
Tic tac toe works with a friend using Freenote!
Okay, the Nook running Freenote only serves as scratch paper to play the game, but nevertheless it worked.
alchemie with textmode and tap to combine is playable too
The sudoku app Andoku Sudoku ( com.googlecode.andoku ) has fairly little flickering.
Has anyone found a sudoku app that is even better suited for the Nook eink screen?
Please name specific apps (not just types of apps). There are a whole lot of chess apps so getting details on one that runs well on Nook saves time.
This is the chess I tired:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.chess
Games working on my Nook Touch:
Crimson Fields
Andoku
Four in a Row HD
Find it on the market
Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:
Working so far:
- Klondike
- Reversi free
- Nemo picross
- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)
- Super Sudoku
- Klondike free
- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)
Still looking for a viable RPG - I guess Eye of the Beholder ou Bard's Tale style would work.
andoku
I have andoku running, but cannot access the check puzzle feature. Suggestion?
Never mind ..went to andoku 2. Works fine
Nethack and the Slashem variant are both great for the nook! Maybe its a little to retro for some but IMO you can't beat a classic like nethack. There's your rpg
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small. Will try slash'em!!! Thanks
Here are some other great games:
Slitherlink.
Curvy (For two colored puzzles you have to set the second color to the middle between white and black).
Droid Fish. One oft the best chess engines with a very nice sleek design, perfect for the touch. Cuckoo engine with very low setting is great for kids learning chess - it makes a lot of mistakes
Shift. Black and White! Sadly almost unplayable without multitouch. Edit: Search for v1.2, works great and is maybe the only platform game working on STR
Search for "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" in Market. It is great.
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small.

@apeine: Map volume up/down to sidebuttons --> zoom in and out
Thanks for the tip, gogolo2. Will try that! My buttons are already mapped.
Does anybody know where I can download FALLEN REALMS? It is a free app, but I couldn't download it through market, even though it is an android 2.1 version app. Tried all non-official download sites, but almost all of them lead me back to android market, and looking for "fallen realms apk" took me to almost 35 sites that I couldn't get anything at all.

Why not download it on your phone then back it up... and side load it to the nook.
