Any thoughts what the "game-changing stuff" might be? I cant believe they're only going to change the appdrawer, change the widgets and add a new multitask-panel.
[Android General] s1lenz:
considering 1% of phones have ICS and they're already announcing yet another OS... my head is spinning over here.
[Android General] Chaos Descending:
It makes tons of sense to me. It takes a long time to develop an update to an OS, so they basically have to start even BEFORE the most recent one is released.

Yep, I am sure Android 5.x Jelly Bean was in development before ICS even hit the streets.
[Android General] bloodrain954:
A should be Apple!
[Android General] lonestrider:
"There were two more internal releases, called "Astro" and "Bender". The code names are in alphabetical order, and were allegedly changed from robots to desserts to avoid trademark issues"

So, A is Astro and B is Bender.

They could go with Ju-Ju-Be, Jelly baby or Jujy fruit maybe even jelly roll (in Australia it's jam for conserve) for J. I think for K kiwi would be more likely. For L lollipop seems plausible and maybe for M they could have marmalade.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelantj:
Like the title said, am i the only one who doesn't like the way developers are handling the touchpads controls there so... fiddly and annoying, is there anyway to make them better?

In my opinion dead space is the only game that's conquered the controls properly, also why couldn't Sony make the pads recessed and have psp style analogue sticks?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
I completely agree, i don't think you can change them though that's like developer stuff in every game, Shadowgun was a disappointment for me but they are pretty good for PSXperia's games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
I don't mind them, Takes time to get use to them but they are pretty decent as they are touch.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
I think the centre bits could have been made so you can feel them better, so you know where you're touching.

Also, in some games, the bit in between can be used as up and down, but that's just as fiddly when you have to change to the touchpad to go left & right.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcu1ture:
Dead Space and MineCraft.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erikwithafro:
Completely agree with this, real analogue sticks would have made our phone the ultimate device for sure and it probably would have sold a hell of a lot better. If only they had...one can dream hah.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poo-tang:
Us at www.xperiagamer.com got to speak with one of the designers of the xperia play. Because the xperia play is a phone + more then a games console there is a lot more bits to fit inside the handset, because sony ericsson wanted it to be phone like they had to look at the overall size of the play. We found out they did experiment with sticks but found it would make the handset at least half cm if not more thicker and as the phone is already a little big this would of made it a brick. Think yourselfs lucky that we have a complete controller, they could of missed out analog all together or maybe 1 like the psp then what games could we end up playing.

Plus the touchpads work perfect its the game devs that muck up. Try mupen64 with mario64 then tell me they aint good to play with.

xperia play rules still
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelantj:
Wow, XperiaGamer's a nice website, but i gotta disagree, opening the phone up there was quite a bit of room for flat PSP type controls expecially if the touch versions of them were gone, the sliding touchscreen could have been raised a bit too, with grooves for the analogue sticks, that could have prevented the marks you get from sliding the phone anyway :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _terror_:
I agree! Same with Fifa 12 imo :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poo-tang:
Thanks website still a working progress at mo but will be great when filled up.

With your disagreement, we also think they could of . But thought would tell you what Sony said to us. But anyway the play is a great start to mobile gaming and even as it does have its downsides it still has many more plus sides to it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipeee2:
It would take R2/L2/Triggers to make it more ultimate in addition to the pads, IMO.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erikwithafro:
I'm definitely really happy with the phone, it just would have made the device that much better. Also about the thickness, I have an extended battery which adds some thickness to the phone, but it actually helps quite a lot when playing. I would have been fine with half a cm for real sticks haha. Honestly, the people who care about aesthetic and how the phone LOOKS probably wouldn't make this phone their first choice anyway, they should have just catered to the gaming crowd. OH WELL, maybe next time around if they make a sequel device.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
I agree with what most of people have said in this topic, but the topic title doesn't quite lead correctly into the logic expressed here.

Like many others have said, it's not the actual "hardware" touch-pads I'm disappointed in, it's developers' way of using it.

... and by by "developers" I pretty much exclusively mean Gameloft.

EA uses them correctly, as does Lantansia, Halfbrick, HandyGames, SpaceTime, SilverTree, Madfinger, Glu Mobile, and so many others... the only real big issue with them is that Gameloft is the Xperia PLAY's biggest supporter and; coincidentally, the most inconsistent with their quality. Sometimes they make something that feels nice (NOVA 2, Avatar, Sacred Odyssey, Starfront) then other times it's like "What the hell?! SERIOUSLY? This **** is IMPOSSIBLE to control! DID THEY EVEN TEST THIS BULL****!?!"
[Motorola Photon 4G] DethMetalz69:
Is there a specific prl that would be the most effective on mopho?

No there isn't

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

Prl is really only good for roaming.
[Motorola Photon 4G] poopies457:
or getting off your sprint contract with no cancellation fees ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
I think I read something about that using a business account prl and then using excessive roaming data will get you dropped?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jami1:
If on sprint I would leave the PRL's alone. PRL or Preffered Roaming Lists, is something that should used to changed carriers such as flashing a Motorola Photon that was once on sprint to cricket or boost, etc...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markie1800:
I'm relatively new to Android and have started flashing various ROMs on my Incredible. I finally settled on Ice Cream Sense V1.3. It is very stable and rather attractive as well. I think it would be perfect with two additions: the bluetooth icons are not themed and it could use an inverted notification/quick settings pulldown. On the off chance that I would get lucky, I've tried a couple for other ROMs (McSense and Stock +) but they inevitably break something else as they are not properly themed.

Thanks to 00McD00, Wildstang83, Jermaine and others for the hours of challenge and entertainment that you have provided me with your work. If someone could help me out with these two things, I'd be very grateful.

You could try the UOT kitchen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ra6idr0y:
You'll need to have a good understanding of xml edits in order to invert the shade. There is a thread in themes and apps about it titled notification text color or something. Should be able to swap the icons out with ninjamorph otherwise 7zip method or start looking into apkmanager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markie1800:
Thanks. I thought that UOT Kitchen might come into play. After reading through the thread that was mentioned, I was wondering if it might be easier to start with a working inverted notification package and try to fix the status bar icons to my liking.

[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
So I'm new to the Droid Charge and still running stock. For whatever reason I've noticed lately that my phone will randomly show no signal and a lot of times when it does its because airplane mode has turned on by itself. Now I've been on Verizon for years and never had a problem losing signal in my house so it has to be a phone issue. Anyone else ever have this problem? any fixes?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I had that problem a little while ago, however I had just flashed a rooted custom rom. What fixed it was wiping and going back to stock then completely reflashing the rom and setting it up from scratch, I guess something modem or framework related messed up during that first flash but its been a few weeks and seems to be fine now

[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
Please help, I keep on getting this error.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I remember when I used to run Linux it would mean you need to download something to get it to run right.
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
Download what?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Crap misread it. What are permissions for the files? I'm shooting in the dark. It had been a minute since I used Linux not counting Android.
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
Im not sure, I need to look when I get home
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
Quick guess: Does typing 'aapt' into your command prompt work?

That's getting "permission denied" from the OS (error 13) but I don't know if it's trying to run aapt from your path, or from a bundled copy.

If it's a bundled copy, you want something like:

chmod a+x aapt
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
I had used aapt in the command line and it just comes out as "permission denied "
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
hello, im back in town and back on my comp, and tried starting from scratch but still the same error, MrObvious asked me about file permissions, how do you view the file permissions? does it have to do with java?
[Streak 5 General] lordmorphous:
I stumbled across this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20623581&postcount=10

Is a modified market that is hard coded to 240 density so the market thinks you are at 240 regardless of what's in your build.prop.

I haven't tried it as I don't need it, just thought i would share.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Like all modified apks that are able to be updated, it'll block you from future automatic market updates (as in updating the market app itself)

Not a huge issue if the mod maker pushes out updates in a timely manner though
[Streak 5 General] lordmorphous:
I believe he gave his instructions somewhere in that thread as well. So an advanced user could always edit the future one himself if the OP discontinues support. That assumes of course that Google doesn't modify the code themselves to prevent it.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Depending on the complexity level of the edit, that's also a good way to do it.

It's sorta like how the portrait mods are rolling out, there's multiple people that can make them and whoever's first is first

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] philofellow:
Hi, I have rooted nook touch and now want to find a handy google reader app.

I have tried the following apps:

newsrob: This is the app that is closest to what I want except that the cons is unacceptable.

pros: font is large and clear. plenty of configurable functions (sync, display, etc.)

cons: no on screen pagedown/up button and the page scroll is very unresponsive. Often need

4 - 5 times try for a scroll.

greader pro:

pros: plenty of configurable functions (sync, display, etc.), screen zoom in/out

cons: font is dim. no on screen pagedown/up button and the page scroll is unresponsive, a bit better than newsrob?

easyrss:

could not remember clearly the pros and cons. Still not handy though.

google reader website:

tried several browser but the font is small. page scroll is hard though.

I found that the biggest problem for google reader apps on nook touch is that

the page down/up is difficult.

I want an app or web browser solution that satisfies:

large/clear font

on screen pagedown/up button.

Thanks.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] outbasket:
I went with newsrob because of the font size changes. I only tried a few others including google reader. I found the site http://fulltextrssfeed.com/ useful for getting the full article rss feed address instead of just the summary. It is nice way of gaining the full article to read when you are away from wifi.

I will stick with newsrob until I find something better.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] philofellow:
do you have the problem of unresponsive page scroll?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ace7196:
I've been working with the dev to use the NST page up/down, so here it is. Note it does not sync with Google Reader, but it's easy enough to grab the OMPL file from the site and download it via dropbox/etc.

Enjoy :)

It's my favorite by far so far (for the NST). Note scrolling with the finger still has issues...seems to be a screen issue with our device. Hard keys are better anyways :P
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Musulsa:
I'm a bit confused. Is the apk you are offering modified to allow use of the hard-keys? Or are you just saying that you like this app even though it does not currently have hard-key compatibility but that you hope that hard-key use is forthcoming by this dev?

[update]

I downloaded the apk. Hard keys do not seem to be working.

[update 2]

I spoke too soon. Since I'm right handed I tend to only use the right side hard keys.

The left side hard keys work but, the right side hardkeys do not work. Left side's better than nothing! :)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] marspeople:
I've been testing several google reader apps, and here is a quick comparison of the best ones I've found for the NST:

NewsRob

Pros:

- Works with side buttons (for both article and page switch).

Cons:

- Annoying article list bug: when you go back from article view, the article list is not at the same scrolling position it was before.

- Free version forces to sync all your google reader feeds.

- Font sizes are less than ideal.

SparseRSS

Pros:

- Simple and lightweight.

- ace7196's build have support for left side buttons.

- Free and open source.

Cons:

- Also have the article list bug.

- Doesn't sync with google reader and doesn't support folders.

GoodNews

Pros:

- Works with side buttons (sometimes needs pressing twice).

- Only app I've found that doesn't have the article list bug. :eek:

Cons:

- Offline sync doesn't download images and is quite slow.

- Interface is not very e-ink friendly (you can tweak the apk files, though. I removed most ugly color gradients)

For now, I am sticking with GoodNews and only missing offline images feature, but it is very nice anyway.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] gadget1999:
I use gReader, its contrast is not great, but can sync with google reader and can adjust font size
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] sugarwaterdown:
Could you post the modified apk? I would like to try GoodNews. Thanks :)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] marspeople:
Here you go. It seems the developer will soon launch a 4.0 beta version, which I am eager to try. :cool:
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] gsinghal:
official google reader app?

I just got a nook touch and used official google reader app last night, that seems to be pretty good. Has font size settings and the text is very readable, not grayed out like some websites in the browser.

Page-like reading?

Hi, I've been following this post for a while. I love my NST but I would really like to have a RSS reader that allows me to read in a page-like format, scrolling with the e-ink screen sucks and google currents and feedly do offer a page-like reading experience (much closer to an e-book) but both require newer version of Android. I've tried every other application out there without much luck so if anyone has some suggestion I'd really appreciate it.

Daniel
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] IceTree:
Hi,

I really would love to have Pulse News on the Nook and you can even install it. But probably due to the fact that it uses Flash for its animations, the app crashes right after the splash screen where I presume the Flash starts.

I noticed on my HTC that you can disable Flash in the Pulse-settings. Is it somehow possible to modify the settings without starting the app? Or maybe make an APK where Flash is disabled by default or something like that.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] desc4d:
I have Pulse installed on mine, only that it's an older version of it that I download somewhere. Try some apk's, one for sure will work but the market version won't.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] sugarwaterdown:
I still like SparseRSS the best, simple and fast.

Two issues:

-Frequently get "error: broken pipe" or "error: line 2.."

This probably happens to 1 out of every 10-20 feeds, so after the refresh is done, I have to individually refresh each one that returned an error.. a hassle.

-No folders - any plans for folders in the future? Hard to use when you follow 50 rss feeds :D
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] geeking:
Hi philofellow

i dont know have anybody told you that

NewsRob.4.8.7.Pro

can download full article

and the font is big enagh

and you can use the physical button to scroll pagedown/up

is that you need?

my english is poor

thank you
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] bobstro:
Not exactly an RSS aggregator solution for the NST, but you can use Calibre on your desktop to read RSS feeds and create an .epub from them. You can then set Calibre to email it to you, or create a dropbox script, or something similar on your desktop so you can retrieve the files remotely.

I'm doing this for several newspaper "subscriptions".

The big plus is that I can use the native B&N reader with all its associated features.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cceerrtt:
Newsrob has very small font. Is there a way how to make it larger?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
Is it so small that you can't see it? Or is it as small as the smallest font for reader?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Gogolo2:
how to scroll down a article in sparse rss? I can't swipe and the side buttons neither work. thanks for a hint.

Runs now fine, sorry for spamming.

Has anyone tried rssdemon?

edit2: rssdemon is perfect for the nst!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cceerrtt:
the font used in the list of unread items is too small and probably cannot be changed. I can change the font while reading particular item but not the font used in the list.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
My question was how small it was, compared to some fonts in the reader app.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cceerrtt:
Too small, something like 2mm in height. I don't have the reader currently. Are you using newsrob? It's not that difficult and time consuming to install it and check yourself.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
I don't have Internet on my nook most of the time I actually want to do something, sorry.

Also, half the apps don't show up in my market for some reason.

Anyway, next topic.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Gogolo2:
I have to write it again, because it is so nice for nst: rssdemon is sleek, highly customizable (groups, fonts etc.) with good preview and functioning page down and up on nst. I have tried several ones, I'll stay with this one.

Greetings
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cceerrtt:
I have tried gReader yesterday and it seems it has everything I need - synchronization with google reader, supports hardware buttons for scrolling, simple UI, configurable font size and the ability to send selected articles to instapaper. I think I will stick with this one.

Could you please tell what version of Pulse works or share the .apk? I'm having trouble finding a previous Pulse version.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] usb7:
I'm curious as well!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] IceTree:
I tried a couple of Pulse versions. 2.0.1 seems to work and 2.4.3 and up doesn't. 2.0.1 supports importing feeds from Goolge Reader and logging into the Facebook feed but not logging into pulse.me.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] keel2:
I am trying rssdemon, but does not seem to work properly. I cannot use it well in off-line mode, while some of the articles aren't fully downloaded, just ending with three points after some sentences. May I forgotten to set something? Instapaper mobilizer.

By the way, even the "very big" font size is not big enough for me for comfortable reading, and the font color doesn't seem to be really "black" but "dark-gray" (with least contrast on NST).
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] jerrysue:
I've tried rssdemon. It works very well except text color is not black even with "white/black" theme.

Maybe someone can modify apk file.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] domi.nos:
Hello,

I am mostly finishing my colaboration with GoodNews dev, and we got this app, supports side buttons, and if on botton of article "lower" button is pressed, it goes to next article, and oppositely.
