Playing DOS games on ROG Phone 3 - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers

Greetings all,
I have had my device for a year now. I am very happy with my purchase. My device is not rooted. I am trying to play Master of Orion classic using DOSbox Turbo and Dosbox Manager. I found a blog page with instructions on how to install and play the game but the webpage is dated 2013, so the command lines are out of date for this device. I followed the instructions editing the commands in the DOSBox game profile, but when I start the game I get Illegal command errors. I suspect that the directory location are incorrect due to the webpage instructions being out of date. I would like some help/guidance on how to run Master of Orion (Purchased on GOG.com) on my ROG Phone 3. Thanks all in advance.

Pandora on G1 : 50% loaded so far...

I have been missing Pandora since I switched from my iPhone to the G1 and I must say I got really excited when I saw the FlashPlayer embeded in the latest Hero build. So, I decided to try to get it working.
I loaded up the mini player from pandora.com and saved the .swf file to my sdcard and launched FlashPlayer (using Astro's application manager). It found the swf and even begins to load. I get about 50% and then I am greated with a message saying that it will not work if I don't share my info (aka a cookie with my subscriber number)
If I can get the browser to let me log in and set a cookie, I might be able to get to the next step. Unfortunately, Pandora.com does browser detection and flags the android browser as unsupported.
Any ideas?

Search around and see if there is an easy way to change the browsers useragent. I'm not sure if it's possible, but by the sounds of it, that's what needs to be done.
Maybe try to get a hold of the guy who made the "Steel" web browser, the one available in the market. He has a setting to allow you to set the browser to be recognized as a Desktop or iPhone browser.
Nice work here though, didn't think Flash was that far along on the Hero build.
Does anyone know where/how the browser stores cookies? Could get the cookie strings from a desktop, insert them into the phone (sqlite db, maybe?)
i actually emailed pandora the other day asking about android apps. here is the response. (email and name removed to prevent possible spamming)
Thanks very much for writing. We really appreciate your vote for the G1. I just got a G1 myself and would love to have Pandora on it. I can tell you that we have started working on an application for the Android platform. However, I do not have a time line or ETA for when it will be released.
Please stay tuned to our "On the Go" page for updates: www.pandora.com/on-the-go
Thanks for listening in the meantime!

List Of Games That I Tried On WP7 HD2

As I Can't Live Without Games On My Phone, The Very First thing I did after unlocking WP7 on my HD2 was searching for games.
Unfortunately I haven't got an activation code yet so I couldn't use the market,
So I downloaded some games Using 3MktPlace and installed using Tom XAP installer and sometimes using WP7 application deployment.
So here's a List of the games I tried but didn't work:
-Rise Of Glory (quits after loading)
-Assassin's Creed™ - Altaïr's Chronicles HD
Games That Work:
-Need for Speed™ Undercover (just turn off music)
-Zombies!!! ©
-plan bee
-PACMAN7
-Mr. Hat and the Magic Cube (from LG software)
-Monopoly®
-Electric Beans
-Fireworks
-Unite (Pretty cool game that uses the acc. sensor)
-Flowerz
-Ice Ball
-Color Flow
-Impossible Shoota
-Swipy Man
-Star Wars Cantina (reported to work by TheOnly1 although it gave me an error while downloading)
Starting from here I started using 3MktPlace V 0.5.1 and latest instruction files (still in the working games list)
-Krashlander
-Quadra (although Multitouch doesn't seem to work)
-scribble defense
-Impossible Shoota
-Bejeweled Live
-Army Ranger
-Pocket God
-OMG- Our Manic Game
-Amazing Zombie Defense (Multitouch Does Not Work)
-de Blob ®™
-OMG- Our Manic Game
-Rocket Riot™ (Multitouch Does Not Work)
-Fast and Furious Adrenaline
-Crackdown 2- Project Sunburst (requires connection to XBOX Live so if u haven't activated u can't play it)
-The Harvest (see post #29)
-Max & Magic Marker (see post #29)
-PAC-MAN ™ (see post #29)
-Twin Blades - The Reaping Vanguard ™ (see post #29)

NOTE1: These results are for Sideloaded games only using 3MktPlace.
NOTE2: Multitouch Does Not seem to work any any game.
This was the list of games that I was able to download (other games gave an error while downloading in the step of "processing file")
anyways I heared That there will be some update and actually these games might work. Let's hope so cuz there are some good games out there for WP7.
That depends... live demos from marketplace are all working, but ~half of the same apps sideloaded with tom xap installer are not ;>

Star Wars Cantina sideloaded. All other stuff from the Market.
fruit ninja don't work....badd....give error on screen...not jump
Sideloaded 'Monopoly' worked.
Actually most games should work via sideloading by now...at least that's what I read right now in certain russian forums
Will try tonight. It's such a blessing when your native alphabet is cyrillic and your language is similar to russian, so you can read relatively freely
I have also tried Fruit Ninja and Undercover to deploy them in my device but after a while i get an error code says that i can not deploy them due to the fact that my phone is not activated.. I need help please! I install them using Marketplace on my pc... I also tried with Xap installer but when i press deploy it just stuck there and do nothing! HELP!!!!!!

My device is already unlocked and my screen is awake..I know the procedure!!
I can deploy apps just fine but i can not deploy games!
the error i have is : Error deploying to the device. It seems to be a licensing problem with the application.

Do you use Tom XAP installer? cuz I've been using it and it works just fine
why don't you all just get your devices activated and then install the games LEGALLY through the marketplace... this would be in reference to the paid games...
maybe they can't due to the activation code, but it is not the subject.
yeah exactly a lot still can't get the activation code due to various reasons including country of residency.
still that's not the subject
isn anyone having any problems with multitouch on games? i am

Hello, I was giving this a try but when I try to connect my phone to the PC it says "Error connecting to ADBD. Error code = 7", any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
Sorry for some reason this went to the incorrect place, please delete this thread.
I seem to be getting "Error 14: Cannot boot Astoria platform" on my Lumia 925, even though its supported. Windows 10 and 8.1 SDKs installed on desktop, latest build of W10m, developer settings on and discovery on. I tried unregistering from 8.1 registration too but that didn't help.
I fixed Developer Menu crashed
I just tested Kingdom Rush, it works fine. Some fps drop from time to time, but totally playable.
problem while using project astoria tool
after entering wconnect.exe usb in command prompt i got this error
The procedure entry point EventSetInformation could not be located the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll, what should I do?
I tried to do all these instructions but got an error with "IpOverUsb", which did not manage to solve. In task manager this service is running, but crashes constantly. Does anyone knows, how to solve this issue?
So, tried this on my testing device (Lumia 830), but am getting Error Code 14 which suggests my device isn't supported?
Did anyone else get this, of anyone got it working on a Lumia 830?
APK to W10M Tool
Hi everyone!
I'm Antonio de la Iglesia from Microsoft Insider, a Microsoft fan spanish website. I've released a tool to do everything for you, one install, no command lines, etc. Only you have to drag an drop the apk in the box:
Download link is on: bit dot ly 1MddHUK (I can't post links or images, sorry)
Applications I tested and are working: Angry Birds 2, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Impossible Road, Facebook Messenger (head chat only works inside the app), Facebook, Whatsapp, Fruit Ninja, Dumb Way to Dies 2.
Apps that have not worked: Never Alone (stuck on a black screen), Prince of Persia Shadow and Flame (not start), The Room Two (eternally in the loading screen), Storm Rush (missing textures), Heartstone ( forever on the pub entrance screen ).
And I wanted to talk with yours about Snapchat. Currently it is impossible to use the official due to check with the services google, put the Casper can be installed. I can login and view snaps, but the native Casper camera does not work (is a black image). It is possible to make the camera work going in the settings and switching to the native camera phone however it does not help much. With this option activate the camera opens and I shot the photo but when I confirm, the application simply returns to the home screen without letting me post. If I enable the "Chose document chooser", when trying to choose a photo in the gallery I will have access to Windows applications choice of menu and I can get there in the gallery, camera or drive but it does not help much because that:
The Android has no access to the Windows file system and Windows also does not have access to Android file system . You do not need to activate the Blackbary option for camera work, it will open even without this option . The problem is that when you take the picture it is saved in a Windows directory and then when he tries to send to Casper, HERE IS ERROR . The camera does not have access to android files . The same applies to the gallery. If you enable the " Chose document chooser ", by clicking on the gallery you will be brought to application choice screen. Here you can choose the camera and the phone's own gallery. Again , when you select a photo from gallery an error occurs saying that was not possible use the file. This is again because the gallery can not send the file to Casper . Here is the whole problem.
My girlfriend is pissed me off to make this application work and I can not . I am in contact with Caster developer also to try to fix the problem. if we can bypass this issue of access to the file system , I'm sure it would work. You guys have any idea ? Sorry for my bad English. It is not my first language .
For Developers mode on Windows 10 Mobile crashing
Hey guys. I'm new to software development on Windows Phone but I've been using my Lumia devices for more than a year and a half now. Lately, I've been testing the builds for Windows 10 Mobile. I am currently on build 10166 running on my Lumia 1520. Due to the recent development, I tried to install APK files on it via the leaked Project Astoria porting tool and it worked great until the "For Developers" option started to crash and I am unable to install the APKs anymore since I can no longer pair my device to the sideloading app on my PC.
I've downloaded the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK as they said that I can "unregister" my device from there and it will regain access to the "For Developers" settings on my Windows 10 Mobile. After the installation, I plugged my phone in to my laptop and then I tried to hit Connect from the SDK, but I ran into an error that says "Waiting for Update Pack" wherein it prompts me to install an update. After i click update, an error code 0x80004003 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Says something about Phone Tools Update Pack. How can i get through this?

As great as this is, is there anyway to get it in English?
Mine is 1520. =.= Im a student and dont have laptop or pc to do this solution. Is there any solution which is allow me to install directly?
Server error. Error Code=1?
So not matter what method I do or what version of windows my PC is running(I've tried 8.1, and 10) I keep getting the same error "Creating session... Server Error. Error Code=1" and that goes for APK Deployment Application a trying it with the wconnect.exe through CMD.
Anyone got a clue as to how to fix this error, I haven't ran crossed it yet on any of the sites covering this. I'd hate to have update my Lumia 1520 to 10 just to find out my only reasoning for doing so was a bust...
how?
How did you guys do this deactivate developer tools using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. Can someone post a direct link the download. Every time I search for it, it pulls up Visual Studio. I'm sure that where it is but I've played around with visual studio and I'm not seeing this deactivate developer mode......
Keyboard problem
Hi Everyone!
I tried a lot of android applications in my Lumia 930 (build 10166) - for example: german dictionaries, dumb ways to die 2 game, lumosity, outlook web app... and so on- and everything was just perfect. Hovewer, when I get the windows 10 update 10512 my applications become useless, because I can not use the keyboard in the applications (not come up), so I cant fill in the necessary field, for example to log in to my account. I tried to delete and install apps again, but it doesnt help.
Does anybody has an idea to solve my problem?
Thanks for your help!
AFter upgrade my Lumia 1520 to latest build 10512 then I cannot active keyboard in Android app.

Keyboard problem since 10512
Since my update to 10512 the keyboard doesn't open in sideloaded apks
Anyone with a similar problem?
Sadly, I will need to report that Sideloading APK's on the latest build 512 (At least on the 1520) is causing the windows keyboard to not load. This means you cannot type at all in the app. Will continue working on this and report a solution if found.

Google Pushes Android Wear 2.0 Back To 2017, Issues Third Developer Beta

Google Pushes Android Wear 2.0 Back To 2017, Issues Third Developer Beta
Google announced Android Wear 2.0 alongside what later became Android Nougat at Google I/O a few months ago, but aside from a second Wear 2.0 developer preview build in July, we haven't heard much since. There's good and bad news on that front: the good news is that Google is releasing a third Wear 2.0 developer preview today with some new features and tweaks. The bad news is that the final release of the software is being delayed.
Wear 2.0's release date has been pushed back from a vague "this fall" window to an equally vague "early 2017" window, presumably so Google can keep testing and tweaking. To that end, Google will release a fourth developer preview build, and the 2.0 update will begin trickling out to supported watches after that.
The biggest addition to the Android Wear Developer Preview 4 is a watch version of the Google Play store that can browse and download watch apps and watch faces without your phone—developers told Google that they wanted watch apps to be easier to find, and this is Google's answer. Text entry still looks painful, and relatively wimpy watch hardware may slow things down, but if the eventual goal is to make watches that can operate independently of phones, this is an important step.
The watch-exclusive store also means that developers can release watch apps that are totally independent of phone apps. Historically, Wear apps have been bundled in standard phone apps—download a phone app, and then the wearable app would be downloaded to the watch from the phone. Apps can still be downloaded and installed this way, but as of Wear 2.0 it will no longer be strictly necessary.
Other tweaks in the new preview build include permission requests for watch complications, a "recycler view" that lets developers display vertical lists of items in a way that will look good on square and round watch faces (the Wear 2.0 app picker uses the same view), and inline actions for new notifications (you would previously need to swipe down on a notification to expose a quick action menu).
Whether your new watch will receive Wear 2.0 is going to be up to its manufacturer, at least in part. The LGE Watch Urbane 2nd Edition and Huawei Watch are safe bets since they're still the only devices you can use to test these preview builds, but we already know that early Wear watches like the LG G Watch and first-generation Moto 360 will be missing out.
There's a toggle in Settings for NFC on LG Urbane 2nd LTE on Preview 3.

What does that really have to do with this article?
Just for the note: The setup wizard only finishes in the third developer preview if the system language of BOTH watch and phone are English (US). Did not test other english variants. It hangs at the setup screen if I select German for any of the devices.
Of course, you also need to join the beta group of the android wear compagnion app as stated in the install doc (Same symptom if not done).
Installing wear apps from normal android apps with embedded wear apps:
For windows users: see the post below (Thanks for the tool!).
Otherwise:
1. Enable developer options on wear device & adb access.
2. Download the normal android apk.
3. Open the apk with a zip tool.
4. Extract the wear apk from the folder that is referenced in "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" (search for the string 'apk') in the apk file.
5. Connect the watch to your pc & grant adb access (if not done already).
6. In a shell / command promt type : "adb install <name-of-the-wear-apk>.apk" (Adb drivers & adb tools must be installed therefore).

Newbie looking for Samsung4 Smartwatch Apps

I just received a Samsung4 smartwatch and am looking for more apps not available on Google Play! Primarily Social Media apps and Facebook Messenger. LOL. That's where I chat from and those contacts are not in the other message apps - Google Android Messages, Samsung Messages (which is best to use?) I am here to learn how to download the apps listed on this site. I have some IT experience (IT Systems Technician for 16 years/IT Systems Analyst 2 years) but haven't tinkered with a smartwatch. I did brick a phone back in the day so I'm a little scared to mess with my brand-new watch! I did install the Moviebox APK (Kpanda?) on my smartphone, but it didn't require any other software. I already opened Developer Tools - ADB - Debug over WIFI (the IP starts with 10) From what I understand, I have to make changes in Device Manager for the phone, install APK software programs to my laptop (are these free or do I have to pay for it?), download the apps I want from your catalogue and install to the watch? I will watch the videos and follow along! And there is no risk of damaging my watch, like maybe I select something wrong and wipe it out or brick it?
Unfortunately, I don't have a correct IP address - Debug over WIFI shows 10.0.0.194, therefore, I cannot proceed with downloading APKs from Uptodown from either Bugjaeger or Easy Fire Tools. I am connected to Wi-Fi and not getting a 192. IP. There is no notification request sent to a device. When I click continue it says "Authorization Failed". Is there another setting I need to change?
Update: I figured it out. My old internet provider used to begin with 192 but this one starts with 10. Then when I click on the file that I want to install I have to click a prompt on the watch to allow it. All good!
Welcome to the XDA forums! Looks like you found the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 section!
Cheers
