Wow, what a great app... thanks for the tip OP!

Riptide Gp, Samurai II, Pinball HD working without any problems.

Guerrilla Bob THD and Fruit Ninja THD also work great, but i see no advantage over the normal (hd) versions. (or atleast i didnt see them. FN HD also has the dojo, arcade and vs. play)

Gonna try some more games now :-)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Maverick777:
Which netflix apk did you use? I used the Tab build prop edits and I'm getting the chipmunk effect. I've tried 5 different apk's. No luck so far.

EDIT: using the HTC Vision edits gives me access to the market and eliminates the chipmunk effect using the latest Netflix app from the market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I got it from the market.

I've never had the chipmunk problem with any of the different build.props. I've tried the Vision, Nexus S, EVO & Galaxy Tab.

I'm on nightly 87.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thegameksk:
This is awesome! Everyday thanks to the mod community I have more and more reason to love the Nook.

So what other games can we play using these drivers besides Tegra 2 games? Anyone know?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] schlemiel:
Just tested Plants vs Zombies HD but it FCs at the loading screen (±25%)

Also Hardwood Solitair doesnt work here. After intro, all sprites are black. Same goes for Hardwood Spades, i assume.

Anyone got some PowerVR or Qualcomm games to work? (or is that another thread?) I tried Bruce Lee, but hangs on content download.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thegameksk:
Ive gotten Samurai, and riptide to work. I tried Bruce Lee but its extemely slow. I get to main menu when I have to dl data and I hit yes to dl and it just hangs there. I am in the process of trying star battalion.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
I actually discovered something awesome today. All games that have "XPERIA PLAY optimized" branding actually run very smoothly when using Qualcomm as the plugin.

I downloaded this platform game called "Cordy" yesterday (it was in the Android Market Editor's Pick section) but it ran extremely slow (on both powervr and nvidia plugins) and it was very frustrating so I uninstalled it.

For some reason, I got the idea to check out Xperia Play specs and on its wikipedia article, it said that Xperia Play actually runs on a Qualcomm snapdragon processor.

I redownloaded Cordy and using the per-app settings on Chainfire 3D, I chose the qualcomm plugin and it worked so beautifully. No lag, no jerkiness... just perfect smoothness.

Bottomline: Any game that's optimized for Xperia Play and/or Snapdragon - use Qualcomm as the plugin :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
The nook does have a powerVR GPU so there's no need to spoof it. What I do is that I set up powerVR as my default plugin in ChainFire so that it will use the nook's own hardware by default (for games that don't explicitly state that they are optimized for a particular chip/platform), and then customize the plugin per game if the game is optimized for Tegra (Nvidia plugin) or Xperia-play/Snapdragon (Qualcomm plugin).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
Phil, I'd like to request a change in the title to something that says "Play Tegra 2 and Snapdragon/Xperia Play Games on your nook" and include the fact that Nook is able to play XperiaPlay/Snapdragon games perfectly when using the Qualcomm plugin. See my two previous posts :)

Btw, I'm on 87N too and I noticed that Dungeon Defenders on Tegra is faster than the normal Dungeon Defenders (the one that's not optimized for anything). FYI.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thegameksk:
Anyone able to get Bruce Lee working? For star battalion the touch controls are all messed up. If I hir a button it wont do anything. If I hit far to the right of the button it will work after a few taps in the menus. I havent been able to get a game started yet.

Also not all XPERIA PLAY optimized games work. I installed Galaxy of fire and it installed the data package. When it restarted it kept going to my home screen every time I tried to open it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cnuckols1:
Where are you getting the bruce lee game from. I don't see it in the market. Should it be there?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thegameksk:
Check your PM's cnuck.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I'll have to give the Tegra Dungeon Defenders a shot. Thanks for the info.

Which Xperia Play games are we talking about? Are you able to play the Xperia Play only games, or is it the versions of regular market games that are optimized?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
For Qualcomm Games - not sure about Xperia Play only games since I haven't tried that yet but the ones in the regular market which are marked optimized for Xperia Play are the ones I was referring to.

Btw Phil, I downloaded and tested all three versions of dungeon defenders via the dungeon defenders website, and the qualcomm one is by far the smoothest, fastest and most crisp on the nook. The downloads can be found here http://dungeondefenders.com/androidmobile
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Thanks again!

I have changed the title to: Play Tegra 2 & Snapdragon/Qualcomm games. I didn't say anything specific about the Xperia Play games there. Maybe I could post a list Xperia Play optimized games that work in the op.

From what you have seen so far, would you say the Xperia Play optimized games all have a graphics boost over the standard versions?

I'm off to grab the qualcomm Dungeon Defenders data now. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
From what you have seen so far, would you say the Xperia Play optimized games all have a graphics boost over the standard versions? >> I cannot say for all but the standard games on the market that have "Xperia Play optimized" seem to run quickly. You should try Cordy (it's free) from the market. You'll be amazed at how fast this game runs on the nook under the qualcomm plugin considering that it's a purely 3D platformer :)

For the qualcomm DD, I have to say the caveat that there are very minor texture differences but these are insignificant compared to the speedy performance of this plugin.

In addition, there is a significant increase in the sharpness of the 3D models and the action of DD just seem more fluid on qualcomm than either the tegra or default versions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cama900:
I'd just like to say that you don't have to be overclocked to 1GHz, samurai 2, fruit ninja (white apples still :( ) and Riptide work overclocked to 925 with reduced texture quality in CF3D checked
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
<EDIT: I'm an idiot, I was "install"ing the plugins but i wasn't going into OpenGL settings and "Use"ing them. :D It works now.>

It's still not working for me on Phiremod 6.2. I even tried a hacked version of Samurai 2. I keep getting device not supported errors. I'm using CF3d free v1.7.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] beezy69:
can someone pm me a working version of riptide please
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
yeah, BUY IT FROM THE MARKET!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKaotica:
hi all, so i flashed the new SFR today, i have odined and flashed and rooted several times so i have a good background with this stuff..

I decided to odin the EE03 modem.

odin hung on modem.bin, so i pulled the battery and i was going to try again. I cant start my phone now. it gives this image of a phone then an "!" then the computer.

i am now trying to odin the full ec05 tar to start over, and its not working. it hangs on factoryfs.rfs and the screen turns a single color. the first time it was red, then next try was blue, next try was grey, next try was totally black.

PLEASE HELP!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sounds like you are sponged. Try a different cable, try a different port. Try checking repartition and put the Victory pit in. As long as you can get to download mode you are not bricked. There is hope. Have you used that tar before? Does it have an .md5 extension? If so remove it. You may try to redownload the tar. What version of Odin are you using?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKaotica:
i am afraid you might be right. my other two cables are not readily available, but i used the one i ALWAYS have used to odin. my main comp is a mac and restored an older XP laptop for the specific purpose of using odin, it only has one USB port (weird I know), but again, i've always used this, probably odined my phone atleast 15 times since i got it. I did check repartition every time i tried. I always use the victory pit. yeah i have several TARs saved on that computer, DI18, EB13, EC05, again i have used all these TARs before as they are old saves from when that respective build was current (i tried them all). I am not at my computer but its odin v1.61? does that sound right, it should be the current version.

I talked to my sprint rep friend, they have a different software package they use that is used like odin would be, so i might stop in and try that. beyond that i have never seen anything like this before.

it hangs on factoryfs.rfs for a few minutes (not unusual especially when coming from a EXT4 rom) then the screen on the phone turns a random solid color. Very, VERY uncool.

i am leaving the battery out to discharge anything left in the phone. I will probably try again tomorrow after work.

anyone else experienced this before??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Try the (non?)-imagionary button that I have.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboysllll:
brick phone

Hay dude search video on YouTube make jig or buy at some site that work if you brick your phone if you phone not get in download mode just contact cable with computer and open Odin if port found just run original rom. It sutbe work I did my many time
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
He is experienced. He odin-bricked.

Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKaotica:
no who is that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxertx:
This happened to me, and I tried it with a different computer... my screen was going Green and getting stuck on factoryfs.rfs
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You can also try setting up Heimdall. It iis more robust than Odin.

Ol' Pete just flew in to that tooowwn, he was choppin up all the women's meat.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhill2112:
I had that happen to me once. That image is the download mode thinking it isn't plugged int. I just power drained it (holding down the power key with the battery out) and eventually got back into a connected download mode after about 3 or 4 min.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKaotica:
FIXED

well guys i left the battery out of my phone today to fully "uncharge" any extra electricity running around the phone.

just just got home from work and successfully odined with the battery left out of the phone.

remember i was always able to get the phone into DL mode, just that odin would not complete. so im FIXED! thank jeebus.

i was about to try this heimball, my question for that is when i was looking at screenies of the UI, there appears to be different slots for each partition of the phone? so how would one go about using this to flash ohh say.. the EC05 TAR i have sitting on my desktop
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You have to use something like Winrar to pull the different sections out. Just learning this myself trying to Heimdall the EC05 modem in. I have to use winrar on the modem tar and pull out modem.bin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
I have read that 7-zip is best when altering zips. Has to do with 7-zip's ability to auto-convert the file exts. Saves tons of time when dealing with alterations. Probably doesn't matter if you use Winrar if you are just deleting or moving files though.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
If there is a thread for this, I'm sorry in advance...... what launcher does everyone use on their dx? I'm using lpp but I put go launcher on my gfs optimus and its pretty sweet.... I'm just hesitant to switch to go launcher cuz i've spent so much time using lpp.... with all these launchers out now (lpp, adw, regina, zeam, go launcher, spb) what's everyone using?
[Droid X General] thelumberjack:
I used LPP for a long time but recently switched to Launcher 7. I've also used ADW, ADW EX, Go Launcher, etc. I've enjoyed LPP and 7 the most so far.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I've been happily using LauncherPro Plus for a long time.

I've used other launchers such as Go Launcher Ex, ADE Ex, and Launcher 7, and they're all work exceptionally but LauncherPro is always the best for me, and I don't see why I should fix what's not broken.

One day I may go back and try other launchers and decide on a different one, but for now I'm staying with LauncherPro.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I switch between launcher 7 and adw ex
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Nothing is as fast, or uses UI caching as well as, LauncherPro. I keep going back to it even though I've tried like, every other launcher in existence, lol. I'd love it if LPP had more options, Go Launcher Ex has a ton of awesome extra stuff but I don't use it because it's just not as snappy.

Google REALLY needs to build hardware GUI acceleration + caching into the core of Android. It is becoming a hindrance to the growth of the operating system. Plenty of people still pick the iPhone just because the UI feels silky smooth, and there's no reason Android can't natively have that.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I hope that once the dev is finished doing the rewrite of LauncherPro that he will incorporate more features and options. Plus, after the rewrite it will probably be speedier and snappier (hopefully).
[Droid X General] ejarmol:
Launcher Pro, hands down best launcher. Fast, clean, and most importantly snappy.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Yeah, I do hope the rewrite for lp is good, it is taking him quite a bit of time to do it so hopefully its worth the wait...

Used go launcher for a lil bit last night, was back on lpp in an hour
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
I hope you all have purchased LPP! I have even though I still use none of the paid features, lol. He deserves it.
[Droid X General] molehu:
Launcher Pro is the best.
[Droid X General] schmidty86:
I used Launcher Pro for a long time, then they came out with an update that seemed to "brick" mine and my wife's phone and helped push her over the edge to going back to an iPhone. Ever since then I've been using ADW and have been very happy with the results.
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I've been using LP for a couple of months and love it. I downloaded ADW a couple of weeks ago, but didn't realize it's not easy to switch back and forth, even with Homeswitcher. Tonight, I decided to play around with ADW, so I cleared the preference and switched over. I have to say that LP is WAY better than ADW except for the thousands of themes available for ADW. Does anyone know if I can use the ADW icon theme packs with LP? I found some really awesome free themes tonight that I want to use with LP. ColorWarp ADW, Eyefold, Fluxed ADW Theme, Crack, Shag, and y0rk's green and black ADW themes are all really beautiful. I like LP because you can do much more with it like change the docks with custom docks, have 3 pages of docks, and use custom widget themes. If I could use the ADW icon theme packs with LP, I would be in HEAVEN! lol. Would it work???
[Droid X General] prozackpills:
why yes i believe you can >> http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/1...erpro-beta-includes-app-drawer-icon-skinning/
[Droid X General] prozackpills:
Is anyone else running LPP with the leaked 5.88 having tons of forceclose issues? I LOVE LPP but when i try to show off it makes my DX look like a clunky P.O.S. - not cool!
[Droid X General] fadeout:
Really?when I had the .588 leak it worked fine?? I've moved up to the .596 now and its buttery smooth.

swyped with one thumb on my DX.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I use adw ex and I love it. So much customization.
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I started using Open Home 6, and it's WAY better than any of them! It's the only app I've found that lets you take screen shots without rooting. Plus, it lets you customize each icon and all of the fonts for everything..
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
What's the fastest launcher? And most customizable launcher
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I'd say Open Home 6. It's way faster than ADW and super customizable. You can customize fonts and individual icons
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
Only good thing about open home 6 is the screen shot is built in, but it transitions to slow
[Droid X General] SeanStar:
I use launcher pro plus. Works great, and is extremely fast. Has all the features/settings I wanted/needed.
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
On Liberty it's super fast. When I was on ota gb it was sluggish at times, but they all are. Oh was the fastest out of all of the ones I used. I'm running Liberty 2.0.1 froyo. I'm trying to update to Liberty gb, but I keep having issues with trying to sbf to gb
[Droid X General] tech_head:
Using the stock launcher.

Love being able to set up groups of applications and put them on the home screen.

Paid for LP and waiting for the rewrite. I used that before GB.
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
Open Home lets you categorize your app drawer and hide apps from it as well. Really nifty when you have tons of icon packs and font packs like I do...
[Xperia Arc General] rumnyc:
I just updated my arc. Here are the changes I see:

1) Hotmail ActiveSync has been fixed. It now works with the native email app. Finally I have a unified Hotmail/Gmail inbox. However, its not perfect. No HTML mail support :'(

2) Facebook status in contact page under the name

3) Facebook photos and albums under a photos page after openning a contact.

4) Facebook calendar sync with Calendar app.

5) Every one of your facebook albums are now in your andriod gallery application.

6) There is a new page called interests that show all the facebook groups a contact has joined.

7) Locked home screen shows summary of SMS notification. This looks new to me.

8) Sometimes when scrolling the screen would register a tap when I meant to scroll (this happenned frequently). They seem to have tweaked the sensitivity and it appears better. Or maybe I am imagining it.

9) Generally faster scrolling. Again maybe I am imagining but it does appear smoother.

10) Photos look better. 8/6mp files don't seem any bigger than before so they probably tweaked sharpening settings or something else.

Coming from a WP7 phone (LG Optimus 7) the FB integration seems almost as deep in andriod on the Arc now...
