If you're looking for something that's actually console-quality, go for Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos.

Kind of unfair listing those since they are actually full-on console ports, but hey... they're in unplayable condition on PSP, so Android's pretty much their only real releases. I'll let you know right now that, if you can leap over that psychological "Holy ****, that's $15 for a goddamn phone game!" barrier, you'll have found the games that don't 'feel' like mobile phone RPGs.

Honestly, I don't mind the mobile phone RPGs either. Symphony of the Eternity, Alphadia and Eve of the Genesis have brought me something I've been wanting for a while... some Final Fantasy-like games from their 2D prime that have a new, fresh feel.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
yeah, i forgot about Spectral Souls, but i've never been into strategy RPGs, i thought he didn't want that stuff.

Hey TLR, i sent you a pm on youtube about open world WRPGs, could you give it a look when you have time? It can also add a bit to the discussion here :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BlueScorpion91:
You have a fair point there. And that's why I bought a PLAY tbh, because I wanted to play games that was £40 once. But we're just waiting for more ATM, lol Hurry up with PlayStation Suite Sony.

I'm using AnDosBox and playing Betrayal at Krondor :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
uh, how does it run? how about daggerfall? aaaaand... can you map buttons? :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I saw that in my e-mail, actually! Sorry for not responding there, but youtube's response system gets kinda cumbersome when I have lots of comments to wade through. Sadly though, dvide's games are about it as far as open-world RPGs go.

...and it seems they aren't even interested in fixing the game-breaking issues E&L has.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Daggerfall and arena are great games :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] swebosdev:
You guys should try ur quan masters
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Betrayal at Krondor works great! I have not tried daggerfall, but if it runs on regular DosBox it should run on AnDosBox as it is a port of DosBox.

It does support a touch screen mouse and physical buttons, and the maker of AnDosBox also has a button mapper app if you want even more customization.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
I tried adosbox (which is not andosbox.. kinda weird), and daggerfall runs so slow on it, can't get it faster no matter how i change cpu cycles. Someone told me on youtube that daggerfall can run at fullspeed on andosbox though... the problem is not andosbox, but the power needed. Maybe it would need too much touchscreen. Wish mouse could be mapped to touchpads...

@TLRtheory: if you meant dvide's games as the only "open world" rpgs then I guess there's only daggerfall left to try :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I just tried it on AnDosBox and it too runs slow once you are in the 3D dungeon. I'm even OC'd to 1.5 GHz :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
i can't get it to work at all actually... i installed it in various directories and tried quite a few things, nothing. Did you try to mess with cpu cycles? Maybe arena could run at full speed :\

don't know what to try then. I looked at Betrayal, but turn-based combat is what keeps me off it :( maybe i should just let some requirements go.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I have to mount the CD drive with the command:

mount d /sdcard/dfcd -t cdrom -label Daggerfall

and then install from d:

I'll try messing with the cycles to see if I can get it faster.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
thanks, i actually figured it out myself xD

i set everything to the maximum, it won't go fast. What a shame... i think we'll have to stick with other rpgs like it :(

Order and chaos is a MMO RPG made by Gameloft.

Can somebody please help me? I"ve searched the forum for the answer, but i couldn't find it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exit-1:
I was wondering about this too... what I found out is:

If all works normally, you just need to go to MIUI Tools > MIUI Backup and make Backup of system apps. For your (user) apps you should use Titanium Backup and do the same. Then flash the new V11.1 version the same way you did with V11.0. After that restore from both (MIUI Backup and Titanium Backup) and you will have all as it was. But if all works well then I don't think it would be worth of doing it. I'm saying this because each new version suffer from some new annoying bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] readon1:
Big thanks man! I really appreciate it :D. I also thought this would be the case, but I wasn't sure... I hoped I could just flash the update over the new one and finish without wiping etc.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjbailey75:
grey 32gb preordered 11/23 bestbuy STD shipped received 12/28.

initial screen bleeding and wifi issues.

bleeding went away after reboot and wifi /GPS works good not great after update.

tested wifi moms, friends, home, panera, Barnes n nobles, church, and my tethering.

all wifi analyiser and speedtest are compareable with my razr and friends og transformer at all places.

tested dolphin mini n mobile, opera mini n mobile, Firefox, n opera mobile is the smoothest and love it.

the tetra 3 games are incredible shows off the capabilities of the processeors.

camera is great.

screen is brilliant and bleeding went away.

reading all the negative reviews I got sucked in but I think the scrutiny was because of the hype and botched release definitely the thinnest, fastest, and sharpest tablet on the market now.

after debunking the issues and playing with it hardcore for 4 days no need to return it but will get the bestbuy warranty.

can't wait to c what this thing will do with ICS.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JasonJoel:
I've had my Prime for a week and a half, and am very happy with it. Screen is great, speed is good. Wish the GPS worked better (mine does lock on, just takes like 10 minutes), but that isn't a big deal for me.

Gaming is cool with a PS3 controller (connected to dock's USB port).

If going from honeycomb to ICS is as big of an improvement on this device as it was on my Xoom (night and day difference to me), this device will be even better soon.

you seriously are like the 4th person I read who mentioned the GPS working fine prior to the update.

really got me wondering about this initial update the Prime does.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kohawk09:
My theory is that its a firmware issue as opposed to hardware. How on earth could they push out a tablet without testing gps... My bets on one of these initial updates contained a gps bug. Id rather them spend the time on the ics update then a short term fix for honeycomb. Hopefully my theory holds true and ics will round everything out :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjbailey75:
Don't ask me saw it on initial start haven't seen it since.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think so too. A lot of other tablets and phones that I heard about with similar issues was remedied with a software update. They either changed values or updated drivers. Another good theory is that since this was rushed, and was supposed to have ICS anyways on it, honey comb was literally slapped up here without much testing as far as making sure everything capatible. One thing is for sure, the broadcom GPS chip in here is top of the line for tablets now. An upgrade on the one in the galaxy tabs. So it'll make more since for it to be a software issue vs. The thin aluminum back cover. Yes, the metal back cover could be affecting it but I think its more to it then just that. Maybe a combo of that and bad software/drivers equates to what's going on now.

Plus ICS could literally drop any moment now.

About the light bleed disappearing, the glue that holds the screen down probably wasn't dry completely when the OP bought it. Give it some time and the glue will dry, and there goes your light bleed, in most cases.

I'm really happy with mine too. I have to change the browser (stock sucks), I just haven't done it yet.

I'm not a gamer, but I've watched parts of movies and they are beautiful and smooth.

Would someone please explain to me wtf (!!!!) is wrong with my set up or YouTube???? Maybe it's the browser? It's unbearable and unwatchable - it'll only play maybe 30 seconds at a time max before it spends forever buffering.......

The Prime's is beautiful, I don't have any screen bleed or pixel problems, it's never randomly rebooted, some apps have fc'd but that's the app problem, I've only noticed one area where my wifi was weaker than my phone, so and yes - the GPS problem is very real but I can't imagine a scenario where Asus doesn't find a fix.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kohawk09:
Hey! Going well, good to see a fellow streak user in here :)

I wouldn't look too much into the negative reviews, i truely believe most issues are related to software. Asus is working hard on ics, so i wasnt expecting a flawless honeycomb build, especially when rushing a product to market. Being from the IT world, software quality is often sacraficed to get it out the door sooner, knowing you can fix down the road (even have a name for it: "Day two" items ;) ) . I just struggle to think there are hardware issues with such a solid hardware company...

I love the device, dont regret it a single bit. Hopefully you will get to experience that first hand soon:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
For those of you with "no GPS problems"....

Have you gotten a lock, turned off WiFi, then gone for a drive while having someone watch the screen?

If so, do you maintain your lock throughout the drive? If you lose lock how long does it take to reestablish it?

Please note that a lock on a minimum of 4 sats is necessary for your position. This is what I mean by "lock in the first 2 paragraphs, lock on 4 sats.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
With all due respect, I think there is room for two schools of thought here.

You of course are absolutely correct and I have no doubt after so many others have tested it that my GPS can not be used as a reliable navigation device for driving(for example). My own team of no wifi on and it taking forevvvvver to lock to any satellites was proof enough for me.

However other people aren't "wrong" if the GPS is working for them in the capacity that they need it. So their GPS is working, just not as you described. It works the way they want and need it to.

No it technically does not work for navigation. Yes, it does work at home. (or anywhere else it can be wifi assisted)

I sure as hell hope people "with no GPS problem" realize that they can't rely on their Prime to get them from point A to B.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] russbustah:
I just got my tablet and dock before I left to Vegas for New Year's. I've only played with it a little since I'm on vacation. So far I like it a lot, quality of tablet and keyboard is superb. Screen is gorgeous and bright.

I've had a few software things, random force close messages, but other than that no issues with wifi/gps/bleeding. I feel like this will be really cool after ICS too. Either way, I had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and this is wayy better imo, keyboard is really sweet though, other than the annoying touch pad while typing, which I assume will be able to be disabled or fixed later.

Every single phone/tablet I get, when looking at the forums on XDA right after release, all there is is whining and people saying that they returned it. I used to work for T-Mobile, and I got these people in the store all the time, they're the people who are never satisfied, they are always waiting for the next device to come out, and in general are dramatic and often unrealistic. Just my thoughts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
great first impression and even greater point made. Very well put.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
The GPS may be usable by some. But functional, as in up to spec, it is not. People who want a GPS don't want to use it as a pin in their map that says "I am here". They want directions from point A to point B and to see where they are along that line.

Look, I'm trying to be reasonable and non-confrontational here. But when you say stuff like that it just boggles my mind. I understand that you want to like your tablet. Maybe you feel the need to justify spending $500 and not getting all the features working right, not just on your tablet but on the entire production run. I don't know, I'm trying to put myself into your mindset and not make unreasonable comments here.

But frankly, the politest way I can put this is, I consider your comment to be unreasonable. As in a huge stretch of the definition of "working".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
There are people who never anticipate using the Prime to navigate with, and would have bought it at its current retail price even if it had no GPS. I am one of those people; I'm much more interested in having navigation on my phone than a Wi-Fi only tablet (although my phone's is pretty awful...).

However, that doesn't diminish the fact that the GPS ought to work. The importance of that is very different depending on whether you anticipate using the GPS, though: it's a deal-breaker if you bought it intending to use it for navigation, it's a mild annoyance if you didn't care about having GPS in the first place and are more bothered as a matter of principle. So, naturally, there are some people who are up in arms about what is, to them, a critical feature not functioning, whereas there are others who care very little because, to them, it is equivalent to the bonus fish shower accessory not working. They shouldn't have shipped you a broken fish shower, but what were you going to do with it anyway?

It's not wrong not to care about something you don't use, but nor does that give people who feel that way the right to belittle others in different situations for making a fuss.

Before guiding you, a very first basic question needs to be asked: do you want/intend to run CM7 on eMMC or off the uSD?

I assume you want to enjoy the beauty of CM7.

Before guiding you, a very first basic question needs to be asked: do you want/intend to run CM7 on eMMC or off the uSD?

Well I didn't know there were other options other than CM7. I have also been told that is one is the best all around one out there. You will have to excuse my ignorance but what is eMMC and uSD? :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Don't worry, we all learn something day to day.

CM7 is a custom ROM (or OS if you want to call it), which replaced the stock OS by many of us. It is one of the most used ROM out there for NC (short cut for NOOKcolor)

In order to run/use CM7 on the NC, there are 2 choices:

1. Installing and running it (CM7) from the internal memory (a.k.a. eMMC) or

2. Booting and running it (CM7) from the external uSD card

You can spend the whole day searching for the difference in details, here, I just give you some quick thinking of the 2.

Running from eMMC = more complicate installation process, smooth performance, a lot less FC's (Force Close = applications hung), easy to backup, more storage. But you will void the B&N warranty since you delete their original stock OS.

Booting off uSD is a quick way to explore the beauty of CM7 or any custom ROM WITHOUT effecting the stock OS, meaning still under warranty. Down side is you need to have a 8GB or 16GB Sandisk class 4, which probably costs about $20 (onsale for 16GB).
