Persona 2 - Tsumi works fine, juste a few frame skipped when entering a battle.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 10123:
So when I get the Play where do I get these games from?

Do I have to use bit-torrent as I don't really want to use it, or is there a converter for the old PS1 games that I have?

http://www.google.com/search?client...rceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest I'm sure there is a guide somewhere that'll help you to back-up your games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arcticmedia:
You could also assign them to your volume rockers :) and assign multiple keys to one button for example in final fantasy 8 where you need L2 & R2 To escape battle :)

But ty for the addition and the rest I feel we have a nice list to come :)

Another update from me, been ripping all my games to .bin with magic iso!!

Loaded: All full speed apart from the music which slows down every few seconds (this seems to a usual thing with games that have cd audio tracks)

Silent Hill - used to work almost perfectly in older FPse version, only problem was voices in cutscenes were completely out of order and random, made for some really funny cutscenes though!

but since 10.36 and 10.38, the game runs but no controls work at all in-game. even the on screen ones dont work!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadimo305:
Which do you think in all aspects is better MIUI OR CM7??please say why
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Depends on what you're looking for. Both have issues, Miui doesn't have 4g. The answer is just to flashes away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadimo305:
Well I want an honest opinion other than MIUI having no 4G which ROM do you think is better I want YOUR opinion ?? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I like CM7 better. Miui is different, but the user interface isn't for me. It's really customizable, but I just can't seem to get it so I like it. It also doesn't run as smoothly on my phone. I actually like the Froyo version better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
CM7...stable, works, clean interface, fast, no problems whatsoever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryldc1991:
Personally I have been running the MIUI rom for some time and prefer it to all the other roms I have tried. I used to flash a different rom every week until I landed on MIUI. I have been in love ever since. Good battery life, stable, lots of options and can change to a new theme with a few clicks.

Enjoy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I just can't get into the iPhoneish interface. Yea, it has cool features but I owned every iPhone and once I moved to Android I will never go back. NEVER!!!!! lol

I like CM7 final but I went back to sense because the GPS was just that much better. Even after the GPS fix I was only getting a 10-20meter lock at best. I cannot verify the Miui gps as I have never installed it. I am however a big fan of all the standalone widgets like the weather and music.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightwolf123:
do you prefer .....

chevy or ford?

grape or strawberry?

hot weather or cold weather?

thats what it somes down to.

me, i like cm7 n37(after i got all the workarounds)

now, im never looking back, and thats after flashing about 10 - 15 different roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesziicuh:
miui is good with a home replacement over it i dbt care for the iphonish look.

i had it for a few and the themes r pretty good also. but i loveee cm7 one o the best in my opnion especially since it has 4g but in all honesty u should proably test them both out for a week see whats best only way you will know for sure
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
I liked MIUI until I tried navigating the settings menus. Lag city.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
CM7. I need 4G and HDMI mirroring.

CM7 is a lot faster than other ROMs I have tried, stable with a bug here and there, and I use my own custom launcher. I personally don't need the level of customization MIUI offers that I can't get with CM7. I use the SPB Launcher which runs very smoothly on CM7 and the Evo. Launcher Pro and ADW work flawlessly on it as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dw3bb10:
deff CM7. For one, MIUI was just too slow and laggy. Even when OC'd to 1.5ghz. And the lack of 4G is also a killer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamklison:
MIUI is better one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiz0r:
You can oc to 1.5?

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
I prefer CM 7. I have tried MIUI a couple different times and have not been impressed. It is however a very popular Rom and many people do like it and use it exclusively. For me 4G is not a big deal as it is not here in my city yet. I do however like having the option without having to flash a different Rom when I do travel to Columbus to visit my brothers. So in this regard for me CM 7 wins. Now that CM has the theme chooser app I would say cusomizeability(is that a word?) is equal. Speed is probably about the same, but really it just depends on your setup, your phone, and what apps you use and what you use your phone for. For mine I found CM7 whether CM 7.0.0 stable or nightly #39 along with SavagedZen 1.1 BFS SBC kernel gives me the best performance to battery life ratio.

Honestly you can get as many peoples experience and/or opinion you want, but the only way to truly know which one is best is to try them both out. Don't go by first impressions and try to customize it, them it and try different settings with CPU and what not until you find what works best for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
What he said.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
+1, lag drove me crazy. Went back to CM7 where I belong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Really? That's it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
miui was fun to run adw launcher and make it feel like CM7. the settings on MIUI were very laggy for me, but they'll work it out and I'll give it a shot again soon.

Which is better? Both!!!

......and people are right, Moto Blur is a cluster****.

I am not too tech savvy, but not a dummy either.

Suggestions and tips on rooting would be great.

Meanwhile, I will keep digging around this site, I am sure the answers are somewhere here, but there is so much info......
[Atrix 4G General] janggu:
Try "gladroot"

I just rooted my atrix last night with "gladroot". http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12540398

Before you root, install Motorola driver first. Nobody didn't mention about it until later and it took me for a while to troubleshoot. As long as you read and follow the instructions, it's not difficult.

3GS -> Atrix

I just made the same switch last week (3GS -> Atrix). Agree that MotoBlur sux and it's also been painful syncing contacts and calendar from my work's Outlook (going through Google isn't an option)

One reason I made the switch was for the less restrictive Android OS. However if you're on version 1.57, it looks like you have to take a few steps backwards to get ahead (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12540398). Looks like I'll have to set aside some time to play...
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
Get adw launcher and use titanium backup to freeze blur. Fixes that problem right up. On the other hand, try running gingerblur which has a clean UI and runs quite smooth. It also removes a ton of other bloatware on the phone. Everything except adw launcher requires root of course.
[Atrix 4G General] emandt:
I don't understand why ppl say "blur sucks"....I like BLUR, it's very useful with all that widgets to have all your Social Networks quickly in one hand.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Blur USED to suck, past tense. It doesn't suck too badly anymore. And I can't see why a new user would say it sucks when they have no experience. This is just a blind statement.

I'm very picky with my launchers and if I could tweak Blur to look better and purge a few things I don't use, it actually wouldn't be very bad at all. But I like that with the other launchers I can personally tweak them precisely to my preference.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
BLUR sucks.

Exchange 2003 notifications are broken.

Unified Inbox doesn't include GMail. (that's a hurr durr right there)

Duplicate functionality of what already exists (Social Networking, Accounts, Corporate Sync)

I don't mind the homescreen/launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
My biggest complaint with blur is simply the lag when switching home screens and bringing up the full list of apps. And that you can't change anything on the dock. And the widgets are ugly. Oh wait...that's pretty much everything that blur does I hate...
[Atrix 4G General] JRSOne:
I am saying it sucks because I am comparing it to my iphone. I can't express how much cleaner, simplier and user friendly the 3GS is compared to blur.

I certainly hope that other Android phones are not this bad.

If I can't find a better OS that works for me, I will simply get an iphone 4. I guess I was spoiled.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
You mean the interface that is the exact same for everyone? The iPhone was made to be simpler. It's so everyone can use it. If you like being coddled by Apple, return the Atrix and get your i4.

It's up to you. WebOS is rising, WP7, BBOS (not as popular). Your pick, dude. Like I said, the iOS devices are made so that even a monkey could pick one up and work it like a pro.

If you're not going to take the time to tweak your device to your liking, go with iOS.
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
Yep. The other androids are not that bad. The original froyo has a cleaner and faster approach than motoblur. Motoblur by far is the worst UI-skin you can possibly have.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
Have you ever tried TouchWiz? the iPhone wanna-be? Sense is decent, but Blur is one of the closest manufacture's skins to Vanilla Android.

Also, your opinion on Blur is your own. Many people love and use Blur, and many people do not. Just because you say it's the worst, does not make it so.

I advise you to try out all the other different interfaces, and tell me Blur is the complete and total worst you have ever tried.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
What about the newer blur on the droid x?
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
Lol. It was obviously an opinion. I did not in any way said im representing the whole android community duh.

I have tried touchwiz, sense and the LG UI already. And of course i've also tried the original android stock UI.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
I kinda want to know what people doesn't like on motoblur. The panels? You can empty all of them and end up with 7 panels on witch you can put whatever icons, shorcuts, widgets (and so on) you like. I'm coming from sense but I can customize the motoblur to look just as good. Don't feel like using launcher pro and already uninstalled regina 3D and adw. I woulg probably give a spb a try if they would have a trial.
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
I liked some of the features of Motoblur, like having the Manage Applications settings right in the menu of your homescreens. Very useful. Some of the widgets are nice too. My major complaint is that Motoblur is so choppy when scrolling around! That's unacceptable for a high-end phone, in my opinion.
[Atrix 4G General] Alejandrissimo:
+1 this is the reason why people think that iphone its a ladies phone. its easy to use, no customizable and very locked device, like you say XD even a monkey can work on it like a pro

Just noticed my phone flipped to 4g for about 10 minutes. I'm in Pensacola Florida and we don't have 4g yet. Double checked with a friend to make sure I wasn't going crazy and he had the same thing happen. Has anyone else noticed Verizon testing in your area?

[Thunderbolt General] tcfrombn:

Hopefully they're just doing some preliminary tests trying to get everything ready for full speed.

[Thunderbolt General] slckofit:
Same here, saw the 4G signal twice. Once about 3-4 weeks ago when I was in the Natomas area. Second time I was near Calvine Rd east of the 99 and it popped up again.

Didn't test it out though.

[Thunderbolt General] :
Sweet I'm connecting in pensacola for right now. Happy to say it's about 7 mbps down :-)
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
there's two or three towers in milwaukee that are turned up on 4g.. .one at the airport and one or two in the heart of downtown. i'm not near those areas often so i don't bother turning on 4g.

To the chicago comment, I was able to pull 4g all the way from 94/294 split, all the way to Aurora.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i live in Carlsbad, CA (north San Diego county). there's no 4G available here yet but heard it should be coming later in the year from a verizon rep. i occasionally go to downtown San Diego though and have run 'Speed Tests' to see what the big deal is.

In Carlsbad, speedtest.net averages 2Mbps DL, 0.85Mbps UL in 3G.

In downtown San Diego, it averages 0.03Mbps DL, 35Mbps UL in 4G LTE.

so seems the big advantage to 4G LTE is the super fast UL speeds(at least in San Diego) but DL is horrible as hell... what gives? :confused:
[Thunderbolt General] crazycheetah_drock:
I live in Vista, CA (hello there neighbor) so I'm in a very similar boat. I'm mostly on Wifi whenever possible so I may have missed some of this testing, but I have heard some rumors of a tower for LTE coming in pretty close to the area that I live in, here. Regardless, I haven't seen it myself.

In San Diego and LA, I've noticed the same thing that you see, but only some times when I'm there. I have seen as high as 20.29Mbps down in San Diego. I don't buy the 33 upload speeds--the Speed Test.Net app supposedly has had a bug that affects the Thunderbolt almost exclusively, or so I heard. Though the last time that I ran it in LA, I got 18.11Mbps download and 7.99Mbps upload, which seems pretty believable to me (it's no surprise my download has been up to 3GB this last month, with all the times I've just had to test out the 4G between San Diego and LA). I'm actually somewhat curious why it is so bad some times down there, though.
[Thunderbolt General] URPREY:
I'm also in downtown Louisville during my workday. It was steady for me all day. The most I saw was 10Mbps down, 5 Mbps up. Average was 3,3.
[Thunderbolt General] dfitz52:
I am able to get consistent 4g when I'm at work in Warren, MI. I ran speed tests and was getting 15-21Mbps down, 5-7Mbps up...unfortunately I can't get it at home but then I just connect to wifi
[Thunderbolt General] pip77:
For the last two weeks here in Dayton, OH 4G has been on and off at random times. The longest amount of time I have had 4G was 30 minutes. Can't wait for Verizon to flip the switch on for good.
[Thunderbolt General] tcfrombn:
Interesting, mine was anything but steady. Almost every time I'd try to do a speedtest it would cut out and go back to 3G, then pop back on 4G a minute or so later.

It was just all over the place. But I guess I'm not truely 'downtown,' I'm by UofL.
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
I went for a drive and stopped at a store a few miles south of my home and noticed the 4g icon on!!! I was quick to start playing with the phone. I tried loading all of my bookmarks rapidly and I couldnt keep up lol!

I did a speed test and got 8.53mbps download and 15.07mbps upload.
[Thunderbolt General] Topher227:
LTE is on in Hartford, CT.

Average 14.5 mb Down, 27 mb Up (yes this is typed correctly!)

Yeah, I live outside of Portland, toward the Hillsboro direction.

I have been noticing full 4G coverage on and off around 2:00pm - 2:30pm every Tuesday for the past two weeks.

I managed to run a speed test, Approx 18mbps up, and approx 30mbps down. Then again, who knows how accurate that is.

Question though, where did you hear this rumor of it being available come June?
[Thunderbolt General] pip77:
That's good to hear.

never say never.. cuz obviously its happening once in a while.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I will say never. Go to speakeasy.net to test and post a screenshot.

Don't always believe what an app tells ya. Even speedtest devs have admitted its not accurate. Google ;) Im sure there are other apps that don't handle LTE correctly as well.
[Thunderbolt General] Kinetic13:
I remember reading about the inaccurate bandwidth tests somewhere.. Supposedly the test gets kind of funny with the Thunderbolts, something to do with the latency if I remember correctly. Definitely not the case that upload is 2x as fast as download though... But its still CRAZY fast, don't get me wrong! I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, sorry if I burst anybody's bubbles.

I live barely 10-15 miles outside of the LA 4gLTE service (so close!) and I just got to test my 4G for the first time last night at a club in Hollywood. I went to speedtest.net, and it directed me to the market for their app. So I tried it, and it was waaay off. So I did the test on the actual website and it gave me what looked like a good test, ~15Mbps down and ~4Mbps up.

That's like what I get at my house, in my pocket! Totally awesome. (Not great reception either, I was inside)

Oh and not to mention I checked my battery right when we got there, was 85% at 10pm. Half way home, at 3-4am, I pull out my phone and guess what it was at... 80%!!!!! OMG I flipped out! I could not believe that it only used 5% during six hours of random, but not too much, usage. And that includes my 4G test I did there.

Sorry I've been needing to get that out..
