I'm starting looking into Android game development. Can you tell me what game engine you used or what tools where used in creating the game?

any help would be great ;)

Hi Guys

I flashed my S2 with I9100XWKDD_XXKDC_XXKDH

then rooted successfully

however to get rid of yellow exclamation i flashed kernel:

KERNEL_I9100XWKDF

over the above firmware

yellow exclamation gone, phone works fine, however these two entities are different and kies is giving me firmware update warnings.

out of interest

i want to know how to extract the exact firmware from the original firmware TAR file and reflash that to get rid of the yellow exclamation

i heard u have to rename zimage to "tar" i even tried renaming it to MD5 type

no joy on the above , any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm using the last CM7 ROM (20110509 update)

I have two main issue:

1. My battery get down in ~10% every 1 hours mean my phone can work for only 10 minutes without heavy functions, I'm using sync every 1 hours not push and short phone call.

Any idea ?

2.

I can't send MMS, tried to restart, try using other MMS APS like goSMS but still can't send MMS

cm 7 faq & discussion thread : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15278-all-models-cyanogenmod-7-faq-user-discussion/

You should post questions over there...

But anyways, for the battery, there are many things you can try.

1) go to the wifi advanced settings and put wifi sleep to "never", it may make the phone unable to sleep otherwise

2) disable sync.

3) look for any app that might be using battery in the background (in battery stats) and delete it (if you don't need it) or kill it every time...

4) try undervolting with a custom kernel such as tk-glitch's : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041532

5) if you DO have a custom kernel, try reinstalling stock cm7 (or see if the kernel has an update) and see if the kernel is the culprit

6) lower your screen brightness, disable wifi/gps/bluetooth, the usual stuff...

7) reboot in recovery with a full battery and wipe battery stats (also, wipe cache/dalvik cache while you're at it)

For the MMS I don't know, I read something about it being fixed but I never actually tried it.

About gapps : factory reset? There might be another solution though, but I have no clue...

[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Is it just because of the 4G? I owned the OG Droid and Droid X before this. Both of them would get a lock within 5 seconds. The TB takes at least a 45-60+ seconds to lock on, and even then it's not always very accurate. I tried the newer radio but it didn't help. I started getting random reboots so I'm now back to the stock radio.

I love my TB but the ****ty GPS is really disappointing. :(
[Thunderbolt General] KDKobes:
Noticed some people have issues with BAMF ROM gps signal...as I tended to have issues with stock. Try a different ROM as some have different tweaks and settings.(Would suggest Liquid Thundersense) Kernel's and Radio's also affect the GPS which could also be the issue.
[Thunderbolt General] theryanguy:
Id do a search in the development threads. I remember I few discussions on how to improve that. One that works for me is to disable the Google gps services in settings, and only use the Verizon and the other gps option (i forget which one it was )

Sent from my super duper deluxe rooted re-romed Thunderbolt. ( and yes, it can also wash my car AND do the dishes)
[Thunderbolt General] boingboingbilly:
I had horrible GPS issues until I did the GPS Status fix - now it is crazy fast.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Thanks for sharing the GPS fix. I appreciate it. :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
I sympathize. My BlackBerry would lock very quickly, whereas, without the GPS Status fix, my ThunderBolt took ~60 seconds. Not anywhere near as bad as cold-starting a GPS that doesn't have location-assistance.
[Thunderbolt General] ncwildcat:
In the GPS.conf file, chandelier north-america to us
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
There is a fix that involves downloading the GPS Status app from the market, let it receive a full lock, then reload your map application and it should lock quicker. I have no idea why this works but it worked wonders for my phone. And if its a placebo effect, I dont care because I got some fast locking GPS now :D
[Thunderbolt General] gizzymo:
Nope, Don't work for me. I'm on stock not rooted. I can't seem to actually get a fix period sometimes.
[Thunderbolt General] Kennyc11:
The GPS Status app has done wonders for the GPS lock. Before it took about a minute to lock on, now, about 5 seconds and I get an accurate lock.
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
The fix I mentioned deff seems to be kinda hit and miss then but I have heard it help a few people in the thread that mentioned it. There are other fixes you can find by searching throughout the forums, there are some in the General section as well as the Development forum. Just keep searching until you find a method that works for you.
[Thunderbolt General] FSRBIKER:
It can take 5 minutes for it to finally lock on weith the app, you know when it does when it shows how accurate in feet it is. Restart maps and the lock is very quick from then on.
[Thunderbolt General] yatman60:
Yeah - but how long does it take the GPS Status app to get a lock? It seems like that app takes just as long as the Google Navigator to get a lock so what's the advantage? Right now, I'm going on 5 minutes and still can't get a lock on my location.
[Thunderbolt General] KDKobes:
Kind of misrepresented in a way...the app helps get a quicker gps lock by downloading data assistance much like a-gps. You might need to clear your gps cache data from that applications settings then let it try to lock on....I also noticed the fastest lock is with all 3 gps options selected.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Verizon lbs does nothing unless you use vz nav.
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
What I do is:

- Download and Install GPS Status App

- Open the App and go to menue > Toos > Manage A-GPS State > Reset

- Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Find Maps and Clear Data.

Then when I reopen Maps I get a very fast lock.
[Thunderbolt General] awwilson21:
It's hard to say HTC rushed it out after all those delays, but HTC rushed it out. The thing lags more than it should, the battery isn't all that, the GPS sucks, and no GB. I regret my purchase every time I see that LTE pricing hasn't gone up!!! I bought this thing first day because of that unfounded rumour... Now the next LTE phone is in the B&M stores and the pricing is still unchanged.

I love using workarounds on a stock device... I cant even get a good version of CM7 on this thing!!!!! It's sad when "the phone after that" isn't even as good as my 2 previous phones. (vPhone 4, D1) I actually reactivated the vPhone and use it exclusively since its battery can last longer than 6 hrs of moderate usage...
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
We regret your purchase as well.

[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
You don't have to do that every time you use GPS though, right?
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
The phone lags? WTF are you smoking? It's faster than my Droid X.

The phone has been out for a little over a month. Of course there isn't a stable release of CM7 yet. It takes time.

You're a ****ing retard.
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Nope, that is just the process of the fix that has worked for me. Once you do that I works well for me every time.

The only time I have to redo it is if I flash a new ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
I'll give it a try. Thanks! :)
[Thunderbolt General] Pupalei:
Thanks for this. This seems to have helped me as well.
[Thunderbolt General] Z51:
because HTC makes POS phones thats why
[Thunderbolt General] KDKobes:
as far as i am concerned they have some of the best phones available. Waste of a post...
[Thunderbolt General] klh8336:
Ok I've done everything in this thread and it's still taking over five minutes to get a lock. I don't understand. Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Your not inside are you?
[Thunderbolt General] klh8336:
I went outside originally and it wasn't working so I came back inside. Once I went back outside it took about 2 minutes for GPS status to lock in and then Maps locked in right away. Thanks a lot!
[Thunderbolt General] plumcrazy:
the tips mentiomned did not help me at all today. the only thing that helped was to start moving, within 1/2 mile it locked on and from there was fine. coincidence ?
[Thunderbolt General] hacky486:
I have the same problem, GPS Status doesn't work, a-GPS doesn't help, I've selected all the options, none, etc. I just have to restart sometimes. It put me in Kansas when I live in Florida, and I was really upset. And I really needed the GPS lock, which led to my Thunderbolt almost becoming a projectile...
[Thunderbolt General] dannycarrasco8708:
Wat is the GPS status fix???
[Thunderbolt General] zskate311:
Yea IMO this phone's gps is awful..worse than the galaxy S. My previous phone was a Fascinate and the with the new radio I had a 6 meter accurate lock within seconds. Takes several minutes minimum for the Tbolt. I'm very disappointed..
[Thunderbolt General] nlondhe:
GPS Status Basically gathers location related data and which can be valid for few days. usually if you are having poor performance on GPS signal this app helps pretty good...
[Thunderbolt General] angryfist:
The GPS on my DINC rocked. It would lock on in a few seconds. The GPS on my TBOLT is terribble. If I am sitting still in my office it will not lock at all. It shows my location like 1-2 miles away. It does finally lock when am driving and moving which I guess is better than nothing but it is still not acceptable.

I'm hoping this gets fixed somehow? Radio update...?
[Thunderbolt General] Kid_Cudi:
You do not need the gps status app. Your issue is more than likely the gpsconfig file. Locate it in /system/etc

If it says north.america.pool use the text editor to change the north america part to us

Problem solved.

[Thunderbolt General] lkhafra:
i was on the MR2 radio with no gps problems for a while. Fast forward a week later to this day I read this thread after just flashing the MR2.5 radio and the new BAMF Sense 3.0 rom. My gps got a lock in 20 seconds after not using it for a week. I didn't see anyone put what radio they are on but then again I have 3 hyper kids running around me rite now so I may have missed that. try flashing any radio MR2 +. I have friends in DC, Virginia, Maryland, Hawaii, (well I wont name every location too many) Everyone tells me they get gps lock either instant or a few seconds.
[Thunderbolt General] oohPandaBear:

[Thunderbolt General] shawnn218:
could you explain this step by step if you have time? not too savy with my phone :/
[Thunderbolt General] thephatness:
I find that if I hold my phone flat while it's trying to acquire a lock it happens within a few seconds. If I have it at an angle it will take minutes. I got this hint from using GPS Status where it shows you a circle that you should aim on the bulls eye.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
If you have root explorer it estrongs file manager, navigate to /system/etc. Make sure it's mounted as R/W (there's a button at the top in root explorer,not sure about estrongs) from here, in root explorer you want to navigate to the GPS.config file. Long press it and scroll down to open in text editor. The first line might say north-america.pool, change the north-America part to just read u.s.

:)
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Another vote for GPS Status. Non rooted stock atm and it worked wonders
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
On CM7 I get a lock in seconds (5 at most). Worth a shot for anyone still having GPS issues as most people I have talked to have absolutely no trouble on CM7 getting a quick lock.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
My GPS was hosed up for the past few weeks and I couldnt figure it out. Took 3 minutes to get a lock. I tried clear GPS data with GPS Status, battery and sim pulls, etc. Nothing worked.

Finally I broke down and did a factory reset and the GPS picks up in 3 seconds rather than 3 minutes.. no exaggeration.

Sucks that I had to do a reset to get GPS to work, but that's the Thunderbolt for you.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
Had my Tbolt since the beginning and it has never taken longer than 10 seconds to lock , and it's stock.

EVERYBODY needs to do this. GPS locks in half a second. it is THE fix

edit: nvm, still having problems
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
Mine says us and it takes mine 5 minutes most times, it helps if I run gps fix beforehand but that still takes about a minute. My Droid X only took 1-3 seconds and it wouldn't drop gps signal constantly like the thunderbolt

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I am currently running stock 1.8.3 and rooted. No other mods. What is the best reliable app or tool for backing up & restoring my current Atrix ROM? I always keep a current TI full backup on my computer just in case, but have not backed up the ROM.

The last 1.8.3 update gave my phone a bit of a boost in that the screens load a bit faster and the phone seems a little more responsive.

My biggest wishes are:

1. Get the built in FM radio app from Motorola

2. Want Skype to enable video chat

3. Get rid of the white status bar. God I hate the white background, but am hesistant to use any of the mods because of the known bugs and for fear of screwing up future OTA updates. I have been on XDA a long time and have seen a lot of screw ups so I am very cautious.

I have about 420 apps installed so far, with about 83 processes/widgets running and the phone just steams ahead and takes everything I throw at it.

Anyway if anyone has experience with a ROM backup would appreciate any info

thanks

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_one:
I don't think nandroid will backup a rom in its entirety in that you can't use it to restore once you flag another sbf but it will backup LLC the user an system settings to be restored on your same sbf. So if you need to recover, keep a copy of your sbf around, and your nandroid backup (on your computer obviously would be safer, especially if you use gingdrbreak to root) and reflash, root, install cwm, then restore nandroid:-)

I have seen lots of warnings saying not to do this with Rom manager, or CWM, so i wanted to ask, what is the right way to do this???

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
Huh?

No the Motorolla Xoom Wifi Only (MZ604) does not require a verizon data plan.

Has your friend rooted and changed kernel? If so, it sounds like they have forgotten to push the new wifi drivers onto the device. So you will need to flash cwm and then flash the lastest kernel again.

[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ok 2 questions.

1) Is there any way to save and load state of game on Tiger Mame?

It's a dam awesome emulator, but quite useless as a mobile game emulator without save states !

2) Are there any decent Android MAME emulators that enable to play arcade games other than cps1/2/neo geo?

I want to play arcade versions of outrun/double dragon/golden axe. Stuff like that.

Thank in advance for replies.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Honestly, I think it's really funny that he's calling his app "Tiger MAME" because I don't think his app is actually MAME whatsoever. Judging from the specific games that are supported and those which are not, it matches up almost perfectly with the Final Burn series of emulators.

1) Nope.

2) Nope, not until we get an actual REAL port of MAME.
[Xperia Play General] rushless:
Agreed about the name, but I think he renamed to TigerArcade (MAME), so people would relate more to what it plays. It really should have been called TigerRaine or TigerFinalBurn, since those are the rom sets it works best with.

MAME rom sets are moving targets to work, due to platform updates of the MAME app.

This app is better for just emulating what it does, since that is why it plays EVERY rom full speed with sound, even on the Incredible. Far less overhead than MAME, since only supporting a few platforms.

There are/were a few that played some, but not all of MAME4All rom sets (played about half). Jironi Arcade is the name and is still in market, but has issues with Gingerbread (the dev knows and is working on it).
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
It doesn't matter how many ROMs a build of MAME supports, it doesn't speed things up any by removing them.
[Xperia Play General] Atlas51:

[Xperia Play General] zerojay:

[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
If TigerArcade had save states it would be a great emu.

Surely not too hard to do from the Dev considering he has done it in all his other emus?
[Xperia Play General] gwaine:
I agree about the save states thing...the only other problems I've noticed is that some Capcom games have sound issues (Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider). The music is total static with those.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
We really need a proper port of MAME to Android.
[Xperia Play General] deadfraggle:
Just curious. Since open source emulators exist for MAME, is it an easy matter (for someone in the know) to just compile the code for the Android platform? I only know a bit of programming, but I'd be willing to learn how to port to get a Mame emulator on my android device. But since there is none currently for Android, I'm assuming it's not too easy a task.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
There is no Java version of MAME, so you'd have to port it to Java before you can think about porting it to Android.
[Xperia Play General] deadfraggle:
Didn't even realize most Android programs were written in Java. There was this project called Jape, but it's unfinished and looks abandoned since 2006. The source is available though, with a paper titled, "How to port MAME from C to Java".

Lol. I took a few peeks at the code. This may take a while...
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
I guess there's also the NDK, which would allow you to avoid porting to Java, I believe.. but I know very little about it.
[Xperia Play General] Borh77:
you can often found ports very close to the original in compilations for gameboy advance or PS1 which you can play with Gameboid or FPSe.

For example, for GBA, you have Out Run in Sega Arcade Gallery compilation, Double Dragon in Double Dragon Advance, Golden Axe in Sega Smash Pack.

Ghosts'n Goblin is found in Capcom Generations Vol.2 for the PS1.
[Xperia Play General] deadfraggle:
I got a DOS port of mame working through aDOSbox, but not to a point where it's playable. The games launch, albeit incredibly slow. Controls are a ***** too. Details and pics on my blog, though there's not much to see. Still, it's the currently the only way to get MAME on the Android I've found.
