I am addicted to the Amazon Appstore due to daily paid apps become free for 24 hours.

Link to Amazon Appstore just in-case I don't update it daily sometimes:

http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

.

NEW!!!! I added a good APK of Amazon App Store

(NOT CREATED BY ME, And is a Free app.)

.

Today November 2, 2011 Free app of the day:

Drift Mania Championship

LINK:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VMKFMG?ie=UTF8&ref=mas_faad

If you've ever experienced that moment when your tires lose their grip and you begin to spin out, you know just how terrifying that can be. In Drift Mania Championship, that's actually the object of the game. Your head and your tires will both be spinning when you take on this exciting game for Android.

Drift Away:

The key to Drift Mania Championship is a combination of pushing the limits while maintaining control. Drifting is the act of maneuvering a vehicle around corners at speeds and angles that exceed the vehicle's grip--a kind of controlled slide. But go too fast and your slide becomes Wipeout City.

Stay on Track

Five twisting and turning tracks included

Drive one of seven different stylin' cars and select from five challenging tracks. Start out in Practice mode until you get the hang of it, then switch to Drift mode for the serious action.

Points are awarded based on four main criteria: Line, Angle, Speed, and Impact. Line involves drifting within pre-designated zones. The line is marked by several clipping zones, where the closer you get, the more points you score. With Angle, the goal is to get your car as sideways as possible without crashing.

Of course, you will always have a need for Speed. Try to drift as fast as possible, but be careful--hit a wall or fly off the track and you'll lose your current combo score. If you complete the race within a set amount of time, the game awards extra points. You'll also get bonuses based on your overall Impact: entertaining the crowd and delivering an exciting performance. Make the fans cheer and treat them to the sweet smell of burning rubber.

Race in 3D:

Drift Mania Championship features stunning 3D graphics for a realistic racing experience. The app takes advantage of the multi-touch capabilities of your Android device, which means you'll have to rack up the miles while getting a feel for the controls and interface. You can adjust your steering sensitivity, use three different camera configurations, and even replay your best combos.

Challenge friends to match your performance by submitting your best scores to the global leaderboards for each track. The top 100 positions are displayed on the official Drift Mania website.

Note: This game is not compatible with Samsung devices using Android 2.1. Upgrade to 2.2 or try the Lite version of the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
I got it today... shows it's $14.99.

Polaris works great too and it comes with the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zzelinka:
Cool. Sometimes I forget!

Sent from a phone that hopefully sports CM9 in the very near future...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
I know and i figured that was a GREAT grab!!

zzelinka - I tend to forget sometimes too. but this app is useful, and with the memory of the Epic 4G touch, you will barely notice the space it takes up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
Polaris seems really good although I haven't really used it much yet. Is this even worth grabbing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I say you grab all the apps that even potencialy look worthy. Back them up via titanium backup, uninstall them so there not taking up space and you will still have them on your phone when you want to use them! Brilliant right!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Never thought of that. Genius.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Kyhassen I would like to thank you for bringing this information to the sg2 forum. I have only used amazon app store to download better keyboard so I never go on it so I wouldn't have seen the free paid apps! I tried out the office app today and am blown away! When I first started using android on my erris I thought it was just a fun toy. Then I got a evo on sprint and found it a usefull daily tool using the calander and note pad ect. But always used my computer alot. Now with this app and and others growing so fast and being so compatible with windows OS my phones become a must in day to day living. I gave up my lap top now because this phone pretty much does it all from a word/power point/spread sheet/music/video edit/calander and much more. I use my $2,000 once in a blue moon. Mainly to incert pics on xda since my phone can't. God Bless Google! Fyi I hit my thanks button on your profile till it ran out just now kyhassen. Mahalo!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Your most welcome!! im gonna try to update it everyday so hopefully we will see something cool like the office pro :-D beats paying a insane price for the real deal on PC. phones like these can do pretty much anything a actual computer can and its amazing.

Thank you for hitting the Thank button!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
You can purchase the apps for free but choose not to install them. You will still have the option of installing them later but will still get them free. There's not much reason to use titanium backup for this purpose, your Amazon account remembers that you own the app(s) and you can install/reinstall them at will.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffvb9:
Exactly!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Seven Stars 3D is actually a very interesting game, Hard to play in a car on a bumby road tho, other than that i give thumbs up for this game!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
this rather boring for me. but there are people out there who might like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Hungry MonstR i did not like, but some others might find it interesting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Great app for little kids but other than that, it kind blows..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
Looks great in the tablet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Pig Blaster somewhat reminds me of Zuma. i wasnt too fond of the game, so im gonna pass on this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
I got the amazon appstore the day it came out. And have EVERY SINGLE free app of the day, so 150+ apps for free (that are originally paid for). Most apps are alright, but i love it when they have some really good apps for free, those come in handy. I dont like that they have games as app of the day 95% of the time. Overall, its an app to have, i have it on my home screen so i never forget to take 10 seconds and grab the free app of the day. (No, i dont have all the apps of the day installed, as posted above, once you get the app once, u can login to ur amazon account on the appstore FROM ANY PHONE and install w.e. app u like).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
Great game, hard to turn as it turns very sharp. havnt play it much but a decent racing drift game.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tonyalba81:
Hi everyone,

I have project in mind but all i did to realize it didn't work.

my project is: i want to use the sdcard with 1st primary partition for saving Roms and updates to work with cwm (fat or fat32), 2nd prim. part. for my data aka "/mnt/sdcard" (ext4), 3rd prim.part. for apps using Link2SD (ext4) and last, optionally, 4th prim. part as SWAP (swap).

this is because i want to use ext4 for /mnt/sdcard but cwm can not read ext4 to backup/restore roms. i tried something with vold.fstab, and init.local.rc, init.rc, /etc/init.d/ but i couldn't achieved the goal.

can anyone help me achieve this?

thx

i'm using CM7 (CyanogenMod-7.1.0-MADTEAM Gingerbread 2.3.7) SD 8GB

512 MB (FAT/FAT32)

6 GB (EXT4)

1GB (EXT4)

128MB (SWAP)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tonyalba81:
i found a manner to make the first primary partition visible only to cwm: i made it hidden fat.

so android looking for the first usable partition of my sd to mount as sdcard. also by a script i can make swapable the last partition, but this is an option as it is not always wise to have a swap partition.

but some problems remain:

-android forces mount in fat32 for sdcard

-link2sd forces to mount the 2nd partition for its purposes, and it cant because the partition is already mounted as sdcard in fat32. link2sd has to mount the third partition for linked apps.

[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
I need Arabic working on the Photon. Now we are rooted, unlocked, and have the full stock source. Who can take up the task of fixing Arabic?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Have you tried to download it from the market? I think the gingerbread keyboard supports a quite a few languages. Not sure if Arabic is one of them. But that's an idea.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
It's not an issue of keyboard. The keyboard is fine. But the Photon, like every other Android device sold in the US, comes with a ROM that prints arabic characters disconnected and in their standard form. To Arabic readers/writers, it is almost impossible to read.

People in the dev forums have been making Arabic roms (and CM also supports Arabic) but the Photon has no such roms available.

It's a world phone that ironically can't display world languages.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Well once CM7 is released I am sure that issue will be fixed then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
I'm sorry to be annoying, but isn't there anyone that can patch the Arabic on the stock rom? It doesn't seem that reasonable that the dev community can't take this on without CM7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
Let me rephrase the question. Those that have the Alien and Star Wars builds.... have you found that Arabic is fixed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
(SOLVED) Arabic Working using CM7 Rom from cybik

Hi all,

I am just reporting that I got the Arabic working using the CM7 Rom from Cybik. It's working with GSM so can be used in the Middle East if needed. Arabic in all apps is fixed in CM7, Gmail, Messaging, Skype, etc.

However, I would like to use Arabic in one of the more stable ROMs (even though CM7 is awesome) because it seems this ROM saps battery life like a MoPho.

Will try Alien, Star Wars, and Homebase to see if any fix Arabic. None of the authors of those ROMs mention fixing Arabic so unfortunately I need to try them all.

Some1 probably answered this but i couldnt find it on these forums. In Swiftdroid RC4 there is a LG IME with my language(Croatian). It has auto-correct and stuff like that. In RC5 there is no LG IME. There is just regular Android keyboard. Is there a way to place the LG IME from RC4 to RC5? I tried using TitaniumBackup but couldnt get it to work...Help would be appreciated.
[GT540 Optimus General] Man_u:
In this thread you will find two LG IME keyboard

Install them with recovery
[GT540 Optimus General] Desden:
Thx man it worked but i will probably go back to rc4 cause my screencalibration is a bit off in rc5.

[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
I woke up this morning to find out my phone was dead, it was charging when i left it. So i search the forums and find a bunch of threads saying its a faulty wall charger etc. Tested and nope nothing.

the only signal of life shows when i connect a usb cable to it, I love the Atrix but im kinda dissapointed this is the first phone that dies on me.
[Atrix 4G General] LastQuark:
Try removing the battery and install again after 10 seconds.
[Atrix 4G General] xateeq:
try removing sd card, this happened to me once with xperia x10. my card was dead after thata and was not letting phone boot up.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
Did this and nothing happened, not even a led blink

i dont have an external sd card, neither before or after the problem appeared
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
You know that's a weird coincidence. I noticed that the battery on my Wife's Atrix was low last night so before bed I plugged it in for her.

I woke up and looked over at her phone and there was the Droid with an exclamation point in a triangle on her screen.

I was way more fortunate than you because all I had to do was a battery pull and it restarted.

I wonder if it has anything to do with that massive solar ejection we just had?

I skated by this time but the moral of my tale is don't plug in your Significant Others phone for them... You might have some 'splaining to do.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
You got lucky there xD, waking up to a dead phone is not a nice surprise
[Atrix 4G General] twayneo:
hey bro, get a car charger for a backup but call warranty 800-801-1101 and see if they will replace it.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
I live in Dominican Republic, dont think getting a replace would be a viable option, because of the shipping costs etc.
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
so thats it?, it died randomly without any explanation or solution? lol that sucks
[Atrix 4G General] bzmotoninja83:
Need one of the devs from the captivate forum to look into the attix to serif there is a "sleep death" it "charge death" occurring here. The captivate and Infuse 4g I had, when this happened, you could smell a burnt electronics smell under the battery cover. I'm thinking we might be able to get a logcat in the mix? .......

Don't listen to anything my Atrix types via CM7......
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
how can i get a logcat from a dead phone?
[Atrix 4G General] Joelesprod:
Update

-Charged the battery using an external battery and the phone wont work anyways.

-Checked the voltage using a tester, the battery is fine.

Is there a way on this phone to change individual notifications for contacts and text messages? What I would really like to do is mute text messages just from a certain contact. Is there an app I can maybe even download that will help with this?

I do all types of repairs at my location and i wanted to start doing unbricking for xda members. I currently have the XTC clip and have rooted several phones from members and i want to continue helping the members out on this forum as i have learned alot and made my personal phone much better.

Which is the best device that has the most compatibility with phones?

Where would i get the jtag points for each device that i will be working on?

For example if i unbrick a HTC Aria the points for the LG Dare will obviously be different is there information so that i can find those points?

I am new to phone repair but have been doing electronic and BGA repair for quite some time. Thanks for helping me help you.

I looked at the Riff Box, which has decent compatibility with several devices. But if theres something better, i will invest in it.
[LG Optimus 2x] clammatus:
Got my hands on this phone, so asking for some advices, is it safe to install Rom's or it might break my 3G Hsdpa 850 data for Telcel Mexico?

Also which Rom you think would be better for me to start off with?

thx in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] joshua.grayfox:
ROM for mexico

Que onda chavo,

I have this phone i am running cyanogenmod nightly 178, it works great. I also tried 158 and it had great battery life. cm7.1 stable drained tooo fast. what helped a bit is deactivating 3g while i was at home and at work with wifi. My baseband is 606, not sure what Baseband you have.

Honestly i have only tried Cyanogenmod and i really like it. I haven't tried anything else.
[HTC EVO 3D] theboz1419:
I bought an extended battery from the AccessorySwamp.com and recently the case has started breaking. it first started to break around the On/Off button and then it broke on either side of the phone just above the volume button.

I have read somewhere else in these forums of their cases breaking.

I have to say though they are very fast at contacting you in Email, I had a reply less the 5 minutes.

But, now the problem is that they are sold out of the back covers and they cant ship me a new one.

So, just be carefull if you buy a battery from them, Although I like the battery and its cheap. The back covers are really really cheap.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
A cheap solution would be too check out eBay for another cheap extended back, just a thought

[HTC EVO 3D] eyeisdasteve:
I just bought one of these so thanks for the heads up.
[HTC EVO 3D] theboz1419:
Well, it looks like they got some back covers in and they have changed them for the better. They are now flat looking like the stock EVO, without the red pinstip and the HTC, instead of having a bump where the batter was at. The only thing I wish they had was the same textured plastic they had on the old style back cover, the new one has the velvet texture that make it slippery.

I really like it though, much better then the one that came with the battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
why don't you just get it from Telus on Friday

it's the same phone

and you can unlock it easily on any of those malls phone stands that does unlocking. (expecting darn telus like bell not releasing the unlock code for 3 months)

if you buy it from the US $529.99 + shipping + Canadian custom fees = the same price you buy it locally at $599.99 + tax

with the added benefit of easy exchange (and un-branded) in case we find any of those screen pixel errors people have reported, or worse case scenario this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318972

the next best thing is to drive to the border go into a mall / tmobile store and buy it yourself

but... if you add the cost of GAS to go and come back... again it will add up to just about the same price, if you buy it locally.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdog404:
Since Samsung appears to have fixed our GPS hardware on the newer and refurb phones (Captivate) is there no one that has found the fix from a Samsung tech? Or in investigating the insides for changes? It seems like everything else about these phones is out in the open. I have an old phone 1007 and it's gps works kinda. It would be neat to fix it.

Who's got the fix, come on out with it.

I believe, Hes wondering what the hardware GPS fix performed was. And if there is any noticeable visible difference between a working and non-working GPS. Perhaps to be able to fix it himself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdog404:
Yes, Coneykiller you are correct. I know all about the so called fixes that don't work. Now that Samsung is sending out the refurb's and they are reported to work what are they doing to fix this problem at Samsung?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Id say probably a new gps chip, but thats just a wild guess. Fixing that, I assume, would be on the micro level.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb9nvh:
My refurb 1007 was way better than my build 1012 so I think they either fixed something or the 1007 was just better. I compared with someone who got a 1100+ phone and she had at least 5 db better S/N using GPS test. She was running froyo and I was running gingerbread so I had faster lock but I still had a worse reciever/antenna or whatever the problem was.

I'm sending back the 1007 and going to try again and see what I end up with. The samsung guy admitted that the newer builds had fixed the GPS. He didnt' say what was fixed however.
