Comprehensive Android Phone/MODs/ROMs Thread

[dejet]

by the way is there a list somewhere of good games for android? Im in love with my n64, nes and what not. But how about games native to android?

What do you like? Caligo Chaser was cool for a little bit, but it's ridiculous grinding after awhile that feels like it's not going to end. Zenonia was fun, especially after you get Meteo. Fuck Zenonia 2.. it's cool and all but they changed what made the first bearable.

There are some on the front page of this thread. We don't have too many exclusive games I can think of, most of the cool games we get are just iOS ports

well thats a good start. I really dont no what I would like lol I use to be a big RPG/puzzle person. But I feel like it wont be as good on a small screen.

[Seanr]

Well.. I have an Evo.. so it couldn't get much bigger unless I did that HDMI Mirroring stuff

All the angry birds games should be free. Mega jump/hyper jump pretty fun.
Been playing words with friends a lot lately. Demon hunter is free and has a SOTN feel to it.
Bejeweled finally came to android. But it downloads a bunch of sound/background files to your phone.


* forgot to add rocket bunnies is also free and pretty fun as well.

The amazon app story gives away a free app every day. There have been some good games up there such as Doodle Jump, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja

After playing Bejeweled 3, Bejeweled 2 feels so ass backwards and shitty. They need to get on porting 3 ASAP

What speed microSD cards do you guys use/recommend? Is there a noticeable difference going from 4 to 6, or 6 to 10?

[Seanr]

Depends on if the phone even takes advantage of the speed

[Mellema]

Well, I just got an HTC Inspire, so I'm assuming it can handle the higher speeds. Was just wondering if anyone could comment on if the increased speed is noticeable for everyday use.

It would be noticeable when loading up media, like music, pictures, videos etc... and transferring data from your pc of course. But is it slow enough for you to care to upgrade right now?

i thought about posting that, but i got lazy

You guys see this forum post?

Looks like carriers/manufacturers are going to be cracking down a lot harder on tweaking our phones the way we want to...

[dejet]

good read, and it was a long time coming. At the same time, the devs are still finding ways to crack phones.

I have not been keeping up with the droidx, but a few weeks back they seemed to be very close to cracking the bootloder.

HTC caved fast on the TB and gave us the kernel on a silver plater. the TB is fully unlocked now and im even running a kernel that goes up to 1.8GHz lol.

So really its nothing to freak out over just yet. At the same time their program to push out OTA's more then likely wont be cool for commercial use. You still need to click that OK button, and as many moto droid users no, a lot of roms allowed you to get the file but not install it.

In the end the community will keep at it and will always find ways around it, maybe lower end devices will suffer that dont have the backing of the larger dev teams but the major phones (evo's TB's, Droids and other major ones) will not be effected that much in the long run.

edit: I do understand their need to lock it down a little. I was getting 21mb DL speeds and 5MB UL speeds on my PC the other day when I tested the free tether app(wifi tether) I no they have theirs for free till May, just wished to see how well it worked.

It worked great lol, the things faster then my cable line.

Without root my phone would not last a full day, they need to work on battery life. This was the main thing that was a draw back to thunderbolts. The community has done one hell of a job, I can get 24hrs of light use. Its great, if devs can do this why the hell cant the makers of the phones?

I probably won't see speeds like that til next year. Bastard.

lol happy I have unlimited data, im scared to think how fast I would blow 5GB or whatever their limit will be. The speeds really are somewhat scary! And Im loving it. TV steams form flash with no delay, pandora never lags behind(almost never got this on my droid but even the random skipping has stopped with HQ) Iv yet to try out my slingbox(its not working)

Overall I am beyond happy with how the phone is working. My only real complaint outside battery life(and iv fixed that with root now) is that the USB charger is in such a bad spot that I cant charge and have TV streaming.

The media dock will fix it, but $60 more >.<

I OCed it to 1800Mhz just to see what sorta score I could get. I got 2500~2700 score. lol

Its not stable at that speed yet though, I got a random restart at that speed.

[shaddix]

I'm keeping mine at 1ghz, I am happy with the snappiness of it. I was getting 5.5hrs of screen time out of it before root, I haven't bothered to test since getting all the custom jazz installed.

What phone do you have and are there similar kernels available for the N1?
