Android Phone Owners

[WSMassiv]

I was only half joking. Further googlage informed me that game ROMs are not the same as the ROMs you all are talking about, which is a whole new OS for the phone

sidenote: getting pokemon on my phone literally turned it into the most addictive thing I own

hahah

ok after a little digging, it makes sense now. The phone turns itself off when it thinks the battery runs out. If your battery is not calibrated correctly, it might think the battery's dead when it's not. That's what calibrating the battery does, it gives the phone more accurate stats on battery usage for the OS to use in determining what the current battery level is. So yes, it does change the stats you see, but this is really for the OS, not for you.

Yeah you figured it out before i got back on here. Anyways I've been around this android world since the beginning so if anybody has anything they're trying to figure out I'd be willing to help out.

Don't Drain the battery to 0 to often either, it can actually have a detrimental effect on the longevity of lithium Ion batteries as well.

I am using musci beta by google

shits gonna be cash

[hondarider525]

Its so sick dude, only thing I've experienced is that the buffering seems to be a lot worse than streaming music apps like pandora, and i don't really know what its attributed to. Took a while to load up all the music too but can't really complain about that.

Given that a huge chunk of my collection is live music, I can't get past the lack of gapless playback in the cloud players and almost every music app out there. Poweramp was the best $5 I've spent in the market. Plus it has the most powerful equalizer I've seen by far.

zeebs i apologize if this has already been brought up, but i thought you had an iphone 4?

[DJ-NJ]

well i guess you didnt read the thread? yeah it was brought up like 10 posts ago. he got it wet while jerking it..


doug please tell me how to get pokemon ASAP.

i dont use my bb for business (which was the original intent of a 'blackberry) i mainly use it for the internet... mobile banking, easily calling in orders via google search of store or lumber yard, fb, whatever else i check on the daily. mostly a texter, i only avg less than 150 mins a month and after that ill have apps to mess around with with my new droid. keep it simple stupid

[WSMassiv]

well there's a couple of gameboy advance emulatosr, but you would have to find the game ROM elsewhere. so far I couldn't get any ROMs I googled to work... and I really wanted to get my pokes on

SO... I downloaded this app called tiger gbc. It's a gbc emulator, which is all I need, because I just wanted to play some old school pokes. It actually has a search function with confirmed working roms. That's how I merk pokemon crystal on my daily commute.

[tommygallagher]

Well shit, sorry haha. For pokemon I just use to use Gameboid lite and romgripper, but I don't think romgripper can be downloaded anymore. I still have it though lolssss as well as SMS Bomber

[CaboWabo]

look into custom ROMs, guy I work w/ flashes a new ROM to his HTC like every other day, and he was telling me about all the ROMs out there based on the Sense interface... I have to say the Sense interface is the best I've seen on any phone, especially the latest one (which he got a ROM for last week)

I don't believe there's a ROM out there for the Hero that can use sense if it's beyond 2.1. Since the phone was never updated past 2.1 using 2.2 and 2.3 means you have to drop sense or at least that's what I've gathered. I've been loving this rom today. It's like having a new phone since the keyboard is different, phone call app is different, just unlocking it is different. I like that it only has 5 pages instead of 7, I never used all 7. Best of all Pandora and incoming calls didn't force close at all today. I've been having an issue of incoming calls crashing the phone app plus random reboots and going to gingerbread has fixed it.

For an older, slower phone it's also snappy as shit now without all the bloat ware, this ROM came bare bones.

[WSMassiv]

every ROM I got from romgripper didnt work. I tried gameboid lite, but every time I fired up a rom it would just stay frozen on the startup screen.

[CaboWabo]

Are you rooted?

[skimmer612]

What app are you currently using to aid you in going to the beach? the Internet for tide/swell info from surfline.com

What are your likes/dislikes?
Likes: it provides tides/swell info, a little blurb on if it's going to be blown out or glassy and swells are getting bigger, peaking, or declining
Dislikes: takes very long to load, cam doesn't always work

What would you like it to be able to do if its missing something?
tell me if there's good shorebreak cuz i'm gonna go skim and not suf

And just for fun, what phone/os version are you using?
HTC EVO 4G

[WSMassiv]

Are you rooted?

nah, didn't think you had to be to run gameboy roms on a droid. all the toots I looked up on teh googles and youtubes didnt say I had to root it.

[hondarider525]

Did you try those emulators that i posted on the last page? Ive never had an issue playing any roms ive downloaded on them. What phone do you have?

[WSMassiv]

droid X. not sure if I've tried the ones you posted

[hondarider525]

Alright well if you're having trouble those are free, and he is by far the best emulator developer.

[aaronfuj]

if you get a chance, check out iphone's 'shralp tide' app. it's pretty cool. has solid tide info and when you turn it sideways it shows the chart/timeline. not sure if something like this exists for android but it would be a good app to emulate

Thanks, I'll try to take a look at it the next time I play with someone's iPhone or iPod touch.

[ZapBulletRider]

If you havin rom prollems I feel bad for you son

[WSMassiv]
