i know that nds emulators, even though playable, where still a little choppy on the tegra 2 devices (and even galaxy s2), but with the new quadcore architecture, i am wondering whast the performance like emulating nds (nintendo DS). Anyonew tried it out yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnyutah22:
I've run Tiger NES on mine with no problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ricard2798:
i meant the NDS emulator, the one for nintendo ds :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ricard2798:
It would be soo awesome if it wouod be playable, my kids would jsut flip out, if they see me playing nintendo DS gamesw on my HUGE tablet screen.... this alone would wipe any POSSIBILITY of me even considering an ipad 3.4.5... or whatever

I've tried nds4droid and it ran terrible. I didn't know there was another one. I'll give it a try later and report back if someone hasn't beat me to it :)

*the only apk I could find was tiger demo_ds. All the apk did was take me to a dead link. So unfortunately as far as I'm concerned the project is dead :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maskeraid:
i have run the latest nds4droid and Tiger Lab emulator with Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, both USA, on my GALAXY NEXUS 4.0.2. they were slow as hell; pretty much unplayable. neither r on the Android Market, and no new versions have popped up in quite awhile. has nds emulation progress stopped altogether??! this is sad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Modded Darts:
Emulators are DEAD

Tiger labs has stopped their ds emulator development and will probably never use all for cores of our tablet... Nds4droid was taken off the market by google idk if the developer stopped working on it but it only utilizes one core do if you maybe overclocked a single core device...

On the bright side if someone started a new project I know the emulator would work.

Note: Root access is

required

in order for this to work.

Since I've found a workaround to install apps not showing up in the marketplace and haven't seen anyone address the issue other than rewriting system files, I thought I'd post this for people who (like me) don't know how to use the first method.

1) search for the app you want on Google in your browser, ie "xxx android"

2) click on the result leading to the Marketplace website (IMPORTANT: be sure to open the link with your browser and not the Market!)

3) click the "Install" button

4) you will be prompted to login, enter your info (you should only have to do this once)

5) this time, choose to open with Market when prompted

6) click the "Install" button and your app will download!

Hope this helps anyone :)

When I try this method, the search finds the program I'm looking for but as soon as I log in and open with "Market", not the browser, it replies with "Program not found". So I guess it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tomegranate:
I don't understand how this can work - if apps aren't showing up in the Market on your tablet, surely that's because Market thinks they're not compatible with your NT. And if that's the case, when you sign into your account in the browser, the same thing would happen of not letting you send the app to devices it doesn't think are compatible?

In browser, the Market doesn't even list my NT as one of my devices, even though I'm signed into the Market app on my NT. Any thoughts on this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lukeskope:
I've had this method work twice and fail a couple times. At step 5 when it opens up the market the app still shows as incompatible but it downloads it anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rodorr:
Torrential91, can you give me an example of an app that this worked correctly for you?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lukeskope:
I just had it work for Real Racing 2 free version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dfroelich:
I tried it with facebook, but there was no download option, just a note saying it was not compatible with my device.

This method was successful in getting to the app page where i could not before.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rodorr:
I tried "Real Racing 2" and it did indeed work for me. It gave me the message "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it went ahead and downloaded it anyway. So it does work with some items. Maybe it just doesn't work if there is a cost associated with the item.

rodorr
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Torrential91:
I know Google maps worked for me. I believe Tumblr also worked this way.

Seems like this method is hit or miss. Can't really say why =/ I'm not a dev in any way, just a guy that experiments with trial and error haha.

Maybe a dev can chime in on this?

Not to sound ignorant, but is this on a rooted nt? I put the android market on here and it wouldn't even start up, so i'm assuming this is the case.

I followed all the steps but when I choose market for the prompt it pops up and says your device isnt compatible with this item. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
Is this just to try and get around the supposed 'app incompatibility' issues?

Or is this to try and avoid having to sideload apps?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobapunk:
Ahh, so this is how I can install Real Racer 2! Cool!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
There is an android app called BlackMart that is available to download off the web. I used it to download and install the Amazon app and a couple other free apps that won't show up on the market place. Be careful though, there could be some malware hidden if you try to grab a cracked app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Torrential91:
Are you sure you used your browser initially and then chose Market after you'd logged in to the Market website?

Primarily, yes, this a workaround to install apps that are "incompatible" with the NT. While most of these apps are indeed compatible, there's something in the NT's framework which the Market isn't recognizing, I suppose.

You could use this as an alternative to sideloading as well, but sideloading can also give you access to apps you've paid for previously on other devices or paid apps you've obtained by...other methods. :P

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pelikan3:
I have an HTC EVO Shift, which, because it comes from Sprint already running Gingerbread 2.3.3, cannot be perm rooted and takes some serious hoop jumping to temp root, and is pointless if you swap batteries a lot, which I do.

I want to use my Shift as a WiFi hotspot without paying Sprint the ridiculous $30 per month that they charge for very limited hotspot privileges (5g limit. Verizon charges $10 for the same).

I have used solutions like easytether, for unrooted (unrootable) devices, that permit WiFi hotspotting by giving you an app for your phone, and a driver for the device to be tethered, but this is ONLY for Windows or MAC. What about iPad? I'm not a programmer, but I know from experience, that there are a LOT of drivers for the (jailbroken) iPad that do some pretty obscure stuff (i.e., including allowing it to use and be powered by legacy devices and cables). So, writing something to make EasyTether, or a similar app, allow Android to iPad WiFi tethering, would not be that hard.

I am sending this to the main group, because the EVO Shift running 2.3.3, cannot possibly be the only defacto un-rootable Android device, and I cannot be the only one who wants to tether his Android to his iPad.

Is there anyone out there who could modify the driver for one of the current apps?

Thanks!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aldrouin:
The day google realises that ASUS is screwing around their clients because it's removing the GPS spec, they are going to make a tantrum.

If you think about it, the TFP will be the first device running ICS without a GPS, and eventually without the Market.

So we will all be stuck with a useless piece of expensive hardware.

They better correct their way of doing things, because it looks like a Sony copycat. Screw the clients, we decide what happens with our devices.

Companies should stick to their guns and make sure that they actually provide the functionality. Not **** people over afterwards.

I looked for GPS a month ago on the site, and didn't find it. I did find it on the spec sheet though. So I have never seen that GPS was specifically listed other than on the spec list. I am wondering if anything has really changed....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
My only question is who the hell 1-starred this thread? In fact, who the hell is going around trying to downvote every thread that at all says something negative about the Prime? This thread is entirely factual and the OP reported something that is from Asus itself. Talk about device insecurity.

On topic: this is a really weird development, so weird in fact that I don't even know what to make of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidus.:
It used to be listed. For me it was a requirement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zandra:
The FAQ download on the asus site contains a short section about gps. It was last updated on 12/27, is this section new? For safety, do not use while driving, insulated car windshields may reduce or block signals, and of course connect to the internet to first activate. Retailers still list gps on the primes specifications...at least bestbuy and newegg do.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:

Why so quick to bash Asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StrykerGT:
I sold my iPad2 to get the TFP, and I'm now thinking of cancelling this order and wait for the iPad 3 or something that works. It kind of sickens me when people try to apologize for the GPS problem trying to make it look like it is not necessary or a deal breaker but when you pay 500-600 for an electronic device you expect that everything works as advertised.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Yes. It's most definitely a requirement. How else are the myriad of location based apps supposed to work!

I just canceled my order until they can get their act together.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Because the GPS has turned into the vestigial appendix of the Prime. It's physically there, but it doesn't work. That's not exactly something that exudes quality on an expensive product. Like someone else said, if you're going to buy an expensive product, everything better work. If I go buy an expensive new BMW, and it has heated seats and a button to control them on the dash, but they don't actually work, I can't think of anything that would be more "wtf?" than that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
WiFi perhaps? However that doesn't work for photo tagging.

Really wondering what those engineers must have been like.. Why they so badly wanted a completely aluminium case, if they just had used some good quality plastic (at least for the antenna's) they would have heard nothing and everything would have been fine. Strange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] don_cheadle:
No. This is a bait & switch.

If they were planning on fixing it, you'd see something pop up on the Transformer Prime FAQ for GPS. You'd see some sort of announcement about their admission to the problem. This is how ASUS handles hardware defects for motherboards, video cards, laptops, etc..

This tablet however, they decided to deny the problem, and then remove the feature. Their definition of a fix in this case, is removal of the feature. I doubt their plan was to "remove GPS until they fix the problem." If that's the case all major retailers still list GPS as a feature, so people will still be expecting to see it. I'm sure ASUS will be willing to do RMA replacements on all Prime affected with GPS and replace them with units without GPS.

Also, I'm not quick to bash ASUS. I've been buying their motherboards since 939 socket boards. They are top tier quality as a PC Hardware Manaf. I'm simply amazed they blow so hard as tablet manaf.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Most likely product designers and the need to be "more like Apple." They wanted a sexy product, and they got it. The Prime has a sexy profile. Too bad it doesn't work. I highly doubt there wasn't a single engineer pointing out the gigantic cluster-**** they were all walking into by ignoring signal degradation due to aluminum shielding. I'm going to go on a whim and say that a top product manager probably decided aesthetics were more important than engineering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Yeah, sure that is true but why didn't they at least copy them with just placing the antenna's behind a plastic Asus logo. I mean, if you are going to copy them at least do it good..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidus.:
Game changer for me. It was going to be a toy that I could also use for some work.

I belong to a volunteer search and recue group. We get called upon about once a month to look for missing people. My iPad has come in very handy when we're operating in hasty mode. Sure I could use my phone, but the battery drains so quick with heavy use and it's hard for a group of people to see. Was wanting to replace the iPad with the TP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
The sticker on back of my box that has my serial number and other info does indicate "GPS". Unless Asus tells me that mean Grand Poo Sucker, I have to believe it means Global Posititioning Sat/System, right? So if it indeed has a GPS in it, it better work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] don_cheadle:
Lol I'm sure they'd be willing to replace the box & product sheet for you so it does not include the word "GPS."

Who really knows what they're doing at this point. All that's for sure is they're ****ing up royally, ,ven if they plan to fix things. This is so far from how they handle their PC Hardware line & Laptops it's just amazing. If they sold motherboards the way they sell tablets they'd be out of business by now.
