[Q] some interesting things you can do with rooted tablet - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm still new to all of this, recently rooted and did a pacman by nightlies mod. mainly needed access to school wifi, stock apps wouldn't let me join the wifi, wouldn't recognize my device now it does. so thanks to everyone for that! Was curious what else there is to do, lately iv just been playing some snes roms and watching some animes with the vlc app. was curious what exactly chainfire 3d is and what its used for, maybe the background 3d effects or maybe for certain games.
thought maybe id ask what are some of the other things I could explore or maybe learn more about. any recommendations?

*SkyFire* Does anyone else have this Issue?

When i load a flash game from lets say addicting games.com the games load fine and i see the animations but when i try to click anything it zooms instead of clicking?!?! It sucks being so close to playing but not being able to click in the flash game. Is there something I'm missing?
Also, Is there a stand alone flash player i can use to play flash games like the ones on popular websites that i downloaded?
a little helpful bump no one has this issue or a solution?
Yea i have the same issue
i dont know of a fix, but i will be writing skyfire to let them know that this problem is a lirttle annoyin. everyone eles should do the same. lets work togeather to make this browser better.
agreed but i thought forums was closed to only people who signed up for beta? maybe im wrong. Still no one has a solution for the flash games?
im gonna be that annoying ex gf that keeps bringing up old issues to see if theres a solution yet lol.
I'm registered in the SkyFire forums, so I'll have a look around to see if this issue has already been reported.

pokemon

Hey guys .. well I basicly wanted to ask a quick question ... would it be possible to run .. a pokemon game .. you the ones for nintendo ds lite ? ..... I do enjoy those games they help me kill time .. if you wanna contact me u can at [email protected] .. thanx guys if not just send me a message on here peace
u can use the kidd gbc which is a game boy color emulator but its pretty slow
Where do i find it ?
he said for the ds lite. for right now its only for gameboy color games
As an active member of both the Android and Pokemon communities, I can safely say it is impossible to run Pokemon D/P/P on Android (at least with the currently available hardware).

Why that? Because of the lack of screen/buttons/processing-power?
citizen-erased:
Nope, you can't. Look at the DS, and then look at the Dream. Do you see anything missing?

I guess if you had the source code from Game Freak, or you could even do a very accurate clone ... It's not a control issue (the bottom screen is practically useless in the game anyway). There's no way to do DS emulation on a G1 or any other Android hardware that's going to release this year. Hell, the best PC emulator is still slow on older computers.

Anybody know where is the list that Adobe provided of optimized sites?
This is a site everyone knows about but I'm listening to the Phoenix vs. Lakers game live via the ESPN homepage and their Flash enabled audio player. It's so freaking cool looking! And sounding!
My Nexus screen even dims but does not timeout, like it KNOWS I'm listening to audio, not watching video!
I'm absolutely thrilled with Flash performance! I cannot imagine being on any other platform! There is SOOO much killer content we're going to be able to take advantage of. Especially sports games I normally would not have access to while mobile, are now going to be possible via Flash!!!
Flash runs pretty choppy for me. Not sure how you guys use it for games.

3d games on G Tab

I've done all the market hacks and tried all the tricks but im wondering why most of the actual 3d games i want to get to show off the muscle that this great little tegra 2 tablet can flex.
it seems like the games i want on here right now "pocket legend" and "rocket bunnies" don't show up in the market and I was looking forward to "dungeon defenders"
I think there needs to be a big push of actually finding a way to get the full market that my Nexus One gets...
This is mostly why i bought the tablet, and thanks to all the great devs here we've been able to get "almost" everything working (Thanks roebeet, et all)
maybe we can make a nice thread with some different market fingerprints and post market results? (or any other suggestions)
I am currently running the latest Vegantab beta4 fyi.

Well, as the guy who has tried all the market fingerprints and build.prop stuff and wrote the thread on the "full" market fix, I can tell you with some confidence that Pocket Legends and some of the other 3d games are a known issue - I have tried changing every build.prop setting to match that of my Nexus One (which finds those apps with no problem), and there are still a handful of 3d games that will not show up. I have also found that if you change too many of the settings in build.prop, you will eventually bootloop your G Tablet because Android itself gets confused about what it's running on.
You can find my notes on the subject in my posts on my thread in this forum on Full Market Fix.
In summary - the issue seems to be more than just using a different Market Fingerprint. That does not solve the problem, though it may make a few addition or a few less items show up. Right now, by most of my metrics, we have at least 95% of the items in Market showing up.
BTW, I have seen posts stating that the work around for Pocket Legends has been to download directly from their site, though I have not done so myself.
My understanding is that the CyanogenMod ROM for G Tablet does not require the Maket Fix and has no issues with missing items in Market because of the way the ROM image is built. I think the person to ask about this is bekriebel who built CyanogenMod for G Tablet - he can explain the concept of release-keys better than I can and how Market supports it out of the box on the CM ROM.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of my time availability right now to work much more on this, having already spent a day or more figuring out what I figured out. But please keep me in the loop if you figure anything else out!
I just thought it would be good to have a good constructive conversation about why else it might not be working... so the build.prop isnt the thing then.
its sad that 3d games are not showing up when this device was built for 3d gaming!
Pocket legends shows up on mine. got it installed...lemme try the other one..
EDIT: Strange they arent showing up anymore. when i was on Cyanogen 6.1 i Had them showing up. then again I didnt have the new market that looks like xbox live. strange...

this is what I'm refering to its so spotty. there is this great drawing app that i purchased that id love to use on the tab called "sketchbook mobile" but its not showing up for me either.
I know there have been lots of people working on it but it would be great if we could somehow compare market search results on some of them to find the best?
also if cyanogenmod has more working downloads is there anyway that the market from cyanogenmod can be rolled into Vegantab?
Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.
U need to check out this game to understand what I mean.

Agreed, DD plays perfectly on the gtab. Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come once Honeycomb is in place and developers start making apps with tablets in mind.

PSP, 2 CFW or not 2 CFW

Besides the old and tired reason of playing "back ups", is there any real reason to hack a psp. It's cool and gets you geek cred. But with a smartphone that does emulation, youtube, and skype, why would you want to hack a psp? Can anybody help me? Just looked and I'm still on 5.xx from when I bought Gran Tourismo. I know that they are up to 6.3x and there would be alot for me to do. But just looking for a reason to. Anybody running cfw and have a perspective I can't see? Please chime in.

Can't think of the name of now off hand, but I think I saw a theming wizard last year. Let's you redo all the pics and doesn't require any hacking. It makes a theme for you to save to the memory stick and apply. Is that like what you're talking about. Or theming a bit deeper?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks. Just too much risk for not enough return imo. I don't steal games, so not worth it for me.
Personally, I've tried emulators on my Evo, and for me it's super odd to play them on a touch screen. I've tried using a wiimote with it's attachment, but no matter what wiimote or ime I've used, there's always a input delay. PSP can emulate PS1, N64, GBA, SNES, and Genesis for me with decent controls. Plus there are some games on it that are pretty good. Phantasy Star Portable series is pretty good.

Well i changed the whole UI. If i find my psp (haven't used it in a while) il post some pics. The theme i was using most wasnt from me, you can download a lot of them...
I was just out and 'bout, seeing what else was on xda(I've stayed pretty sheltered in the epic section). Saw your title had psp, I was **** crazy for getting one. But to my disappointment(and lots of $ later), the only thing I even remotely like it for was "black ops". Definitely didn't hold my interest. But I still refuse to get rid of it
I've got an xbox 1. Retro - course u can't beat the old days of disc swapping on the dreamcast!
