[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
doministry is right, if you did the pre-nodo update, and your phone wasn't sent back to factory default, then it performed an a backup and restore of everything on your phone successfully. the update process was probably that easy you didn't even notice it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toothfish:
okay... so how about this question:

I have chicks n vixens installed currently but im on prenodo still

If i flash my rom to get 7389 NoDo, and come back to reinstall chick n vixens (which is now a paid app), would this app be free for me since i had it already before?

[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
so this maybe a far off idea cuz i really know nothing about how to work over or cook a rom but now that us cellular has put out 2.2 and everything is working is there a way to copy the bluetooth stack out of the cooked rom's that could run wiimote and put it into the stock rom so that we can blow are horns about how we can also run wiimote in 2.2. it sounds like this is a real hard one to crack so the person that gets it done would have big bragging rights.lol let me know what you think.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
People still play Wii's?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
Some do. However, it's this is so you can use the controller from the Wii you

don't

play, to play emulators on your phone.

I have been wanting this feature on the Mesmerize for a long time. I'd love to donate to a developer that could bring us this feature. Yesterday I beat the original Legend of Zelda on tiger nes emulator I can personally say the touch screen controls are a terrible way to play. Thank goodness for save states.

Now I'm working on beating Double Dragon - and I'd sure love to be able to do the jump kick without lifting my hand off the phone and tapping a and b together with my pointer and index finger. Unfortunately I feel like I'm playing with a hand up my ass.
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
I would donate to whoever got it working too! I've been waiting for one- I haven't tried it yet and i don't really plan to but I heard that the bt might work on the AOSP ROM. Worth a shot.

PS Where do you go after you get the sword in Zelda? :p

Oh hot damn that would be nice.
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
AFAIK, and a dev might chime in and prove me wrong, but the main reason the wiimote doesn't work is because Bluetooth HID (human interface device) drivers are not built into our roms. There are workarounds for Bluetooth keyboards, but I doubt they'd work for the wii remote. That's my understanding of it, like I said though, I may be wrong.

Sent from EC10 PnP 0.3 + voodoo
[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
from what i have been reading is that some HID items will work and some people are saying that it has to do with are phones using bluetooth 3.0 and wii remotes can't do 3.0 but i have seen clams that some of the other Roms out there when flashed to are phone can run wiimote but the Roms that can have most if not all the samsung software removed. I'm just hoping that someone smarter then me come along and tells us " o thats an easy fix now that 2.2 is out. here you go" well till then i guess we will all just be here hoping.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
Not sure about the wiimote, but some bt hid drivers can be compiled into the kernel. Will try to look into it soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
"jt1134" Hey. That would be great. Thank you for reading my post and looking into it
[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
Im also hearing that it may have something to do with the kernel that is also being installed with these Roms. Im going to look into this again and try to find these links again and post them when i can. Maybe a few days before i can sit down and find them again
[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
Been doing someone reading and sound like you may have to some how downgrade the Bluetooth stack from the 3.0 that we have and get back to the 2.1 stack that everyone is using to make there programs. Any one know of a way to downgrade the Bluetooth stack?
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
Sounds great. Wii mote, ps3 dual shock or even a game gripper would be great. Thanks everyone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] e2950:
Hears to hoping that it can be done

[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I am new to the Android platform after a couple of years tethered to Steve Jobs. I write a review blog for iPhone apps and games and hope to continue that with Android apps and games now. I'm familiar with the whole promo code process on the Apple App Store for getting review copies of things. Once I'd entered the promo code, it was as if I'd purchased the app. How does that work on the Android store? I've rooted my device, so screen shots and sideloading are no longer an issue. But I'm concerned as I start getting more and more sideloaded promo apps that they will trigger updates in AppBrian for things that I did not originally purchase and I'd be charged full price for the update. Can developers mark my account as having purchased the app in the market so I don't get charged in the future? Any help you expert guys can be in helping me figure out the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to ask Google directly. Sorry i couldn't be more help. Did the app make you enter a credit card number? I know on the free trail apps you just loss the service it provided once the two weeks is up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I'm smart enough to have asked google before I wasted your time. :) All I found was announcements where Apple first started giving developers promo codes and an old article from a year ago (ancient in Android timelines) that talked about wishing there was something like that on the Android marketplace. But it also mentioned things that I know are already addressed like the inability, at the time, to link to a market app with a URL. Maybe the new Amazon store will offer something like this. With all the developers that frequent this site though, I thought it was worth asking.

Anyway, that's how I read it, and that is weird, and no you shouldn't have to use a task killer to fix something like that - that's a proper bug.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
I didn't notice this when it happened, but it was pointed out in IRC (and not on the forums yet, I believe). The Android kernel and Ubuntu source code has been release in Motorola's usual site. I know some people have been waiting for tun.ko and cifs.ko - here's your chance. I might play around with a few modules myself, but I'm more excited about the Ubuntu source code release. :cool:

P.S. Oh, the people who were bellyaching and talking about how HTC was better than Motorola because HTC released kernel source code for some devices? Eat your heart out.

Credit to [http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=512640]jiggytom[/u] for pointing it out to me. This should have been in the original post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
awesome. thank you moto, finally opening some doors, even if it's just a little bit

it would be pretty sweet if they showed canadian customers some love and released source for the Bell Atrix as well :/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
I'm certain that for the source they released, it's identical for all released devices. The kernel version isn't going to be different, nor that for any of the webtop packages. Any differences lie elsewhere, and I don't expect Motorola to ever release that source code.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
good point. it's just annoying that the frameworks files aren't cross compatible - because almost any ROMs that will be released will rely on framework changes and landing AT&T edited frameworks on a Bell Atrix causes a soft-brick (i've tried, lol)

i guess we just need a canadian dev, or someone who's nice enough to effect some of the current AT&T framework changes that can be made to Bell frameworks.

I would if I knew how, and who knows, maybe i'll try and puzzle through it. :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jiggytom:
For what it's worth, I believe I pointed it out on irc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dvigue:
so what will this give us atrix users?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
To me, true. Not sure if anybody pointed it out to anybody before me (and they just decided not to tell anybody else). I was thinking about what to do about that, but credit where credit's due, right? :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VeNuMuS:
AHHHHH HEEELLSSS YEEAAHHH!!!!!! So what do we do now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
we just need the unlocked bootloader now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Interesting, assuming the kernel compiles from the source, no extra proprietary files needed, I would be interested getting aufs.ko installed and working. My idea being that all the mods done here could be applied via the fs overlay and leave the stock system partition alone for updates. I know that init.d support is a bit of a hack via recovery.sh, no way to edit init.rc atm, so not sure if an overlay could be applied on the fly without issues while android is loading.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
There are entry points into init.rc, but I don't think you can replace it mid-flight. I'm using one of those entry points as it is.

You'd also hit the other problem I'm hitting, of trying to figure out what storage devices are available when. I'm not currently aware of any way to force the SD card to be loaded earlier, for example (even though I'd love that).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deleted member 2488575:
I'm sorry for my ignorance.

I am not a developer so I have a question, How will this be beneficial to the Atrix users?

Can this lead to an unlocked bootloader/custom roms?

What else can be gained from releasing the source code?

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ikenley:
It will make it easier for tweaks and optimization to occur without access to the bootloader.

It could also mean that there is a possibility for custom Roms for the truly gifted Developers who can do it without modifying the Kernel. Has happened for the Milestone and is currently being undertaken for the Milestone 2 (Droid 2)

[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Give it a try, I appreciate any feedback you can give.
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Going up.. who wants to try something new today?
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Yeah I'll give it a go, I'll go download it now mate :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Ok so downloaded demo and gave it a good game, finished within the hour.

First thoughts were what do I do, what are those, oh shiny gold, lemming type things. Must have to get gold with lemming things. They all proceeded to fall to their deaths as a hole magically appeared in front of them that went down to the centre of the earth...

So I got that you were meant to slope the paths and got some gold with them, but they couldn't get back up due to a tiny little ledge in the not quite perfect path on the way up, fixed that and got to the next level. After running out of time a lot and having to start again a lot.

Second level took a while, I had to create a path that could turn around... So you create a little ledge and a flat in front of it, the jumpy buggers sometimes get up, ok, so about 30 gold down, some lemmings lost and confused in a mine I can't get out, the others refusing to go back down due to finding a better job of falling down hole, jumping out of hole, repeating.

After this little annoyance, I found they could get the gold out, and I could change the path to let them in, though a few lemmings got stuck. So got over that level. Last level of the demo was easy enough, 2 full trips, easy done.

So game play could do with a bit of a work around for the workers, such as they don't jump if they don't have gold or something, that might work better.

The controls were ok enough, though sometimes when zooming, it would draw/erase at the same time, creating a hole in the area and generally being annoying.

The open gl didn't work on my desire hd, though whether that's because it doesn't support it I don't know, but considering it's one of the highest spec and newest phones out there, if it doesn't work on this, it's unlikely to work on much.

Graphics were fine, have the game a nice effect and suited it.

Audio was useful and I liked the coin sound as they dropped gold off.

All in all a nice game that needs a bit of work on the miners to make them useable, but I won't be buying because my bank charge a £1.50 fee for exchange, and it's not on in british pounds, meaning it would cost over £2 and to me, it's not worth that. If I could buy it for the designated price, I probably would, sorry I know that's not your fault.

Good game though, thanks for all your hard work and effort into it :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Interesting feedback.

About the OpenGL render, can you send a crash report or describe what happens after you enable it?

I just released extended support for opengl yesterday and confirmed it's working in a motorola defy, should work fine in desire hd as well.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
If you tell me how to get a report I'll grab that and send it to you

I'm rooted and on a gingerbread custom rom rom pretty comfortable with adb and root exploring if that helps

But I close the game after turning open gl on, open it back up and it just force closes, open it again and it says that safety graphics are being used.
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Well at least the safe graphics thing is working. :)

So, when the crash dialog popup thing shows up is there a send report button?

If not, would be extremely cool to get the logcat after the crash using adb.

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat

eg: adb logcat
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Yeah just installing the sdk on my laptop (Fresh install of Linux), can't get to my main PC right now

Will post the logcat as soon as I can mate =)

Also, I thought that the safety graphics was quite clever, I've known huge companies (ie. EA) to not include things like that in fairly big games such as mirrors edge
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Ok, I loathe ADB

I've got the logcat working once, but it just output everything into the terminal

So I looked online and tried "adb logcat -f logcat" to try get a file I could send, but it just gave me "couldn't open output file: Read-only file system"

And now, as usual, ADB won't find my phone...

I'll sort it out tonight for you mate but I got to wander off for a bit
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Ok turns out it was my dual boot config, I don't know why, but hey ho

Got it in the end

I ran the logcat reading to logcat.txt, opened the apk from sense launcher with the opengl setting on, force closed it and stopped the logcat, so hopefully that should be enough for you mate =)

If you need more help gimme a shout, though I'll keep an eye on this thread every now and then, see how it's going along
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
That's was pretty good thx.

There is a error compiling the pixel shader in desire hd for some reason.

I'll see what I can do and let you know when I came up with a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
The shader problem is quite simple but hard to fix and i'm more busy these days then usual. It's using more shader memory then minimum defined in the standard. Let's see next days if I can come up with a good fix that doesnt break anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Hey that problem is now fixed. Can you update from the market and try again the opengl render and let me know if it runs fine ?
[Android Apps and Games] Joey93:
Nah not working mate =/

Doing the same as before and reverting to safe graphics

Just checking this is the demo version =P
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Hey, I bet it's a different problem this time. If you could collect the log as before.. hopefully for the last time.

Thanks.
