What I would like to know if how you got your icons so close to the side of the screen. I have tried all the column/rows for ADW and cannot get them that close. Is there an other setting that I am missing. This is a big pet peeve with Android.

Hi guys, I took the time this past weekend to reallu clean and sort my contacts on gmail. Now it works greay, but I still have an issue as there are lots of contacts that still have unknown and phone contacts joined to them, so when i try to join some twitter or fb contact I can't because of the 5 contacts joined limit.

How can I easily remove al conravts from the phone.

The ideal case would be just google contacts with their twitter and fb joined...

Thanks!

Link is up. Knock yourself off finding combinations !

Please feel free to use this forum, as well as the suggest button, to propose new elements. Earn a place in the app credits !

[EDIT] I've already received a ton of suggestions, THANKS ! Most of them are actually going to be implemented in the next release. If things keep going this way, I'll have to add at least a couple of Realms...

Like it!

I like the idea, I think that you can make use of better graphics though. I feel like a nice touch with a graphics designer friend's help would make the game more enjoyable!

Keep up the good work =)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks ! All my graphic designer friends are either too busy or totally broke and left the activity. Talk about finding the right middle hehe

If anybody is willing to assist and provide around 600 icons :D (yeah, that's what is in the next update)

I agree interface could be fancier, at the same time I've always thought this game was a blast on MS-DOS basically without graphics...

oh, by the way, thanks to all those that downloaded the game, it's climbing the ranks quickly and making first place in this poll: http://www.bestwp7games.com/top-wp7-games-april-2011-poll.html

I have to say, I am loving this game! I convinced my friends to play other Alchemy games for themselves (because they either have an iPhone or an Android Phone) and they love this version so much more. They say it's because of the actual scientific aspect of it. I was at 40% before the update and now moved down to 26% :O

Thanks so much for a great game! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Hahaha glad to hear that. I too played other versions, old ones on the pc and new ones on android, but then wanted to do it in a different way, glad you like it.

Prepare to be moved back a bit more (850 elements) with the upcoming update, which has a surprise too...

The actual scientific/historic aspect is being taken care of, but lately I'm also finding a lot of funny suggestions. I hope the balance is kept, maybe check the website and leave some votes in the polls regarding it ! Thanks

HAha, yes almost ready, it was one of the most requested features in the previous weeks...

I've added 3 'secondary' savegame slots, which however don't impact the 'main' game which is the only one that can post scores on the Leaderboard and receive hints.

now if only app certification wouldn't take so long ...

Update posted. A lot of refinements to the key elements, making the game more compelling, I think, and less chances of being bored later on (at around 1000 elements found)

Thanks for all that are sending in suggestions. I'm also working on the sequel !

What's in the next update ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pizzapastamandolino:
I think the leaderboard has some problems with scores sticking in the last few days. I can see my score as soon as I post it, but then it's the old one if I see it on the website. Is it so ??
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks for the donation ! Yeah, I screwed up a little thing, solved in the next update. It's been submitted for certification two days a go, but don't hold your breath. I would say they will certify it at least tomorrow to be optimist, which means you will see it in two days.

Update published.

More Elements.

More Realms

Leaderboard Fixes

NOTE: the online scores are fixed now. I know lots of you don't even post the score online (about 4/5 !!!) but for those that are looking into the competition, you will probably notice that the first time you update the score with this version, you will end up having 2 scores online.

Don't worry, it's normal and it will gradually fix itself, it's part of improvements
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] LayneRobinson:
I enjoy this game....it gets the most play on my phone.

There are some weird redraw problems where elements in the list don't show....usually with quicker scrolling and the other end of the list (if at top and scroll to the bottom quickly, they won't always show). Doing a "slow scroll" will fix the redraw problem and I can see all of the elements again. This is on an HTC Arrive.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks !

I am aware of that, but haven't been able to fix it because (it seems to me) it's part of the behaviour of the Microsoft toolkit. I hope they can fix it in the next update. It's not a big issue, right ?

I'm going to add a few more extras in the next versions
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] LayneRobinson:
The redraw doesn't bother me a whole lot because it's easy to avoid it....

What specific control are you using? I'm working on some apps too (submitted to the marketplace, waiting on approval). So maybe I can dig into them more and see if I can figure anything out. Or at a minimum, avoid using them in my apps... ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
hahaha, it's the standard toolkit, the one they use it for example for setting the clock or calendar. It's very nice, but I "think" that it's more made for fixed sets of data, so that the fact that I'm adding removing stuff on the fly bothers it a bit. I'm quite sure there is a way to fix that (maybe recreating them), but as you said it's not that big deal and I'm working on VERY interesting extras for the game which are much more important :) . Like online backup of the game, live tile with score progress, riddle hints, etc.

It's pending approval too (perpetually it seems) but once it will come out it will be free for a time, then maybe I'll charge it 1$ since they are online services with a bit of maintenance.

I also hope they will finally restore the icon to the one with transparency, they made quite a mess there...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pizzapastamandolino:
I did notice a few blanks in the selector now and then, but far from being annoying.

So are you closing the help section on the website and using the secondary app in place of that ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thinking about letting a day or two of hints there, meaning you can ask stuff, but won't find all the list of previous hints. Too many spoilers !

Certification takes 5 days on average, and the last submission failed for a tiny tiny tiny problem...

I've found the blanks in other apps too

Just like any other ROM. You will have to do a lot of reading first, and then find the kitchen you like, and dump stock ROM, and start cooking.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Hey everyone. I figured id make an official thread,although a thread a few down is very similar but still quite different.

I attempted to re-lock my XOOM wifi and I got the error.

-only able to get into RSD mode 2 or Fastboot protocol

-pc will not recognize through adb or RSD 5.0

-tried various command and no luck

-Screen wont turn off unless battery dies.

- reinstalled sdk, drivers etc.

I might of missed a few details, but ive been all around the forums and have yet to see a solution for this other than send it to Motorola. Ha just curious to whether anyone could shed a little more light on this situation. Not being able to RSD or adb seems like a bad situation, even if we did have that darn sbf id still be stuck! Thanks guys!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jase33:
Try to get the xoom back into fastboot by rebooting (vol up + power) and then immediately holding vol down + power until the fastboot screen comes up. From there try pushing system and boot .img's through fastboot. Then you should be able to reunlock from the fastboot command on your pc. There is no way that I know of to re-lock a wifi only xoom as of yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Yeah, my bootloader screen says that im "Starting Fastboot protocol service" but I get no response from my PC. I've never had problems with adb recognizing my xoom before this. Its like the drivers arent even compatible with the device anymore?? For craps i attempted to send some commands through adb even though it didnt recognize the device, and had no luck. ADB simply replies "waiting for device" for all of them.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jase33:
try reloading your moto drivers
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Make sure you aren't using a front panel port. I had thus problem for ages, XOOM is a power hog. As for the LNX failure its the result of relocking with an invalid image, don't do it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Yeah, i spent days trying to figure that one out with the front ports vs. the back ports with my droid. I could never get it to remount in RSD when flashing a .sbf.

Thanks for the heads up though. Im not sure what made me think that it would be ok. My failure to do some research always lands me in pretty much the same spot! Here.

I reloaded all the drivers ect and have been unable to get anything. My droid works great, but no xoom.:(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xezuka:
Had this exact thing happen to me today. What fixed it for me was

- boot into fastboot (Power+Vol Up then immediately hold Vol Down until you see it display the fastboot message) and push the stock boot/system images found all over this forum for your model (Wifi/3G)

Now obviously your ADB isn't seeing your device... neither was mine

- Go under Device Manager on your PC and uninstall your Motorola drivers from whatever devices are listed

- Do a fresh install of the Moto Drivers and restart your PC

- Run, 'fastboot oem lock' to allow RSD to do it's work

That's what it took for me. If that fails, unplug your Xoom from the PC and set to debug mode, then plug back in and let Windows find your drivers. Windows could take some time, and actually took me unplugging/replugging twice until it decided it found them.

RSD is a load of junk, but when it works it's like the miracle worker =P Good luck and keep your head up! These things are harder than people think to completely wreck =)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritran18518:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xezuka:
Sorry I guess I didn't mean to set it to Debug from the Xoom, but as in to remove it and boot into Fastboot. Then plug it back in and allow Windows to install the drivers.

I had a hard time getting it to work, but after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, it recognized it and allowed me to flash the SBF.

Correct me if I'm wrong here! It's what worked for me. My Xoom went down like this and I resurrected it this way. Been working flawlessly on Tiamat 1.3.1 ever since.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Sorry guys, but the condition I'm in is becoming popular lately. I'm able to get the XOOM wi/fi to show "starting fastboot protocol" but absolutley no recognition on the pc. RSD or ADB. Therefore all commands sent from the ADB simply respond with "waiting for device" and unable to flash any images onto the device. Its in a real brick mode. At least for the time being with the lack of software communication on the pc and no .sbf yet. I sent the device into motorola for repair. They said the repair would be under the warranty and free of cost. I was honest as well, telling the repp I had unlocked the device and attempted to re-lock. Thanks for all the suggestions and input guys.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussois:
follow up?

hello i am curious what happened with your returned brick? did moto replace it?

I ask because i have the exact same issue and have gone through all the suggestions.

same error, cannot get into fastboot, no adb, no RSD, nothing. tried the various vol power button combos etc. no recognition on PC at all. yes i re-installed drivers etc etc etc... i have been reading...

it seems only option is to wait on SBF or return?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Yeah the only solution would be an sbf flash. But even with that i do not know how because the RSD lite does not recognize the device either.I simply placed an order online, they sent a box the next day, sent it and got it back in two days. Extremely fast. I told the tech rep over the phone that i had unlocked the device and and then downloaded an app that starting causing for restarts and so i attempted to re-lock the device and from there it was officially a true brick. I was honest and they seem to be very understanding. Im sure they understand that the lack of support for the device is evident and we are all beta testers. SO let em know whats going on. I also let him know i was a developer, whether it mattered or not i dont know, but i was just being honest:). Its all covered under warranty he said. I didnt pay a penny
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussois:
OK well its good to know I am totally screwed!!! thanks for the reply...

I told the rep on the phone what I did but I don't think he had any clue what I was talking about... he asked to me to reboot with vol up, then try to boot into fastboot, but didn't once say fastboot, just said vol down, then said he would send me a shipping box.

Get it today!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] footboydog:
I am in this situation after trying to re-lock in order to install the 3.1 update. I tried re-installing and updating the Moto drivers, rebooting etc but I can't get my PC to recognise the device in fastboot or RSD. I am on a stock Canadian ROM (but unlocked obviously).

I have sent an email to Motorola and been honest with them. Will see what they say.
