Cool game !

Some ideas:

1. Going up and down loooong ladders can take time.. Maybe option to uby "Robot Accelerator" pack that will allow robot to continuously accellerate up/down stairs till reaches the last 5 stairs then slow right down.. ? (cost around 5k)

2. More purchase ideas - Jet pack? Uses lots of battery power but lets you fly up or slow you down during long drops. (25k)

3. One time parachute you can purchase. Protects when you fall down, but must be rebought and can only purchase/hold one at any time. ($1250)

4. Save game - not sure why this is so slow.. if you use a byte or less to describe a single cell I would have thought this could be sped up? I'm sure there are reasons though, it just that the length it takes (10-15 secs on my xoom) makes me too lazy to save often, and therefore more at risk.

5. bug? When you die and you press x to restart level it says "are you sure and you will lose everything you found on this trip" - you say yes but it wipes all your inventroy nor just what you picked up that trip.

6. Possibility to move around in the MAP view? This works especially well on a tablet.

7. Auto pillar installer? Something you can purchase, it will detect when you dug under a rock and place a pillar automatically - you can disable ofcourse, for those times you don't want a pillar installed. Would be an expensive purchase (20k ?)

8. Not sure why some of the gems you find at lower levels cost less than ones at higher ones? eg purple one.

That's all for now...

Oh, any yes multi diamonds on later levels will be fun - with only one necessarily being on the lowest level and the others scattered... something like 1 diamond per 5 levels.

Hi dzam and many thanks for your thoughts!

1. Yes, I want to make something there - but there is also the possibility that someone wants to stop right in the middle to search any unexplored area - so maybe I'll put in a fast-forward button - click it and go instant to end of ladder - for very long journeys that should work just fine

2/3. Jetpack and parachute where still in my mind - jetpack to go straight up, parachute to fall safe - I am just carefull to not make it to easy and spoil the puzzle-like feeling, that's why it is not in yet.

4. Savegames are now processed async - that's slowed it down somehow. Because you can save whenever you like, there are many extra states saved so you can save in every possible situation. I'll have a try to speed that up

5. No that's by purpose - because when the robot dies, everything he carries is lost.

6. Game is designed to view the same size of fields on every device (5 field range vertically I think) - in the first version there was a user zoom available but I dropped it because of fairness. Personally I would like to allow map view while autorunning on ladders ..

7. No autopillars, I am pretty sure that would spoil the gameplay like cheating :-) I am more thinking on robot capabilities which you can unlock by finding x diamonds to give more goals in deeper levels and add gaming features.

8. really? need to check that, maybe I've made a mistake.

The multidiamond thing will surely come in one of the next updates - but it would need some sort of item to detect them - maybe it is too frustrating that you have to dig the whole mine thru just to find all diamonds. So there have to be some sort of scanner, which you can use to detect a diamond. Currently the diamond is always at the end of the mine, so you got a hint.

Ah, and before I forgot .. I am thinking about Multiplayer Mode :-) Mainly in sort of small challendes like "who digs faster till the end of the mine" .. of finds the diamond first .. but that's more in the future
[Android Apps and Games] dzam72:
Agree can't make the game too easy :) .. defeats the purpose.

The fast forward button would work well as you describe it.

And the radar for finding diamonds - great idea! ... you could have various levels of detector - eg basic detector points in the general direction of nearest diamond accuracy of about 40x40 field as long as that diamond is within 150 meters, next level more accurate- can narrow down to a 20x20 field diamonds 200 meters away, all the way through to a final most expensive one highlighting to a dot point the location of all diamonds within 500 meters or so...
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
With update v1.3.9 there is now the allmighty FAST-FORWARD Button!

It is named INSTANT and it will appear when you autoclimb a long ladder. Press it and you will reach the end of the ladder instantly - very helpful! Maybe your robot looks a little bit departed if you instant-climb far over 200m deep - but you should life with that for the moment :-)

The loading and saving time is also drastically reduced - hopefully you are still able to read your stats during the saving screen :-)

I found this game on the market a few days ago.

Cute graphics and fun gameplay. I think the pacing could use some work, little slow to start. But some people might like that, good job. rated 5 stars.
[Android Apps and Games] xecuterbox:
loving this game...im addicted.

Didnt notice the updates and I have still been playing the version before the lock screen fixes, duly updated.

Just a couple of things I'd like to point out:

If you hold screen down as you would a ladder but not on a ladder, it still flashes instant. Not a big problem but mayby a bit tidier to only try to show if you start going up/down ladder.

If you press new robot whilst falling, your new robot is squished. This is actually quite funny

Thats all I can think of bug-wise but love the game.

Ah, just thought, one other feature I'd like is that when you return the diamond to UFO, choose whether to move to next level, or to stay on current level a bit longer. Mayby, if you choose to stay, the robot asks if your ready to move on when you go up again, or a green arrow appears. Sometimes, I want to explore the last bit and get any extra treasures I see lying around before I move on :D
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
Thanks for pointing out the funny glitches.

I had this flickering thing 1 time during testing but wasnt able to reproduce it - thanks for pointing me in the right direction ;-) will fix that

the falling thing is also quite funny - it's a quick fix and the next update will contain it :-)

The option to stay in the current mine is a good idea, i didn't think of that before .. i am also thinking of some extra treasures which you can find and that would fit very well :-)

Many thanks for your post ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] xecuterbox:
sorry, not trying to rip it apart or anything...honest lol...just one more little bug Ive just come across by mistake:

Build a ladder right up to a rock (from bottom). Drill upwards to destroy last bit of mud and build a last ladder piece up before moving out the way. As rock falls past move back (requires timing, but generally moment just before it falls), ladder underneath gets destroyed as rock falls, and your floating in air so can carry on going upwards/sideways.

Have attached screenshots to better explain

Thanks for such quick reply :D yeh more treasure sounds goood
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
that really requires a good timing :-) .. I think i know why it happens and can fix it .. but I am not sure if I can reproduce it - haha - i'll give it a try :-)

thx for the screenshots, helped a lot. so you tried to ride the rocks down?
[Android Apps and Games] xecuterbox:
yeh definitely requires timing...I think it was more like accidentally going back when I moved out the way and the all clssic sh!!! followed by...wait a sec IM NOT DEAD pmsl

If you aim for trying to ride the rocks, I'm sure youll soon get the timing to reproduce though, Once I had it I managed to reproduce quite easily in order to get the screenshots although can take a few tries.

I know you've already got quite a few stuff on the go and I'm pointing out many things...but could you also reduce the area of which you touch the instant button, so we can press the map whilst going up a ladder. I know I can stop to click it but it was a nice way of quickly checking how far up/down I was pre-update :P
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
I am a little bit late with sharing news :-)

You can now ride the rocks down( but be aware it's still a "falling" so you will die if you ride it to deep :-)

The auto climb feature is still stopped on any touch anywhere but there is now a "instant" button to go up down immediatly - very helpful.

We also got sounds now, a settings screen, you can buy dynamite at the ufo and many more, maybe you wanna check out my website http://www.reiti.net/robo-miner to get all the details aof recent changes ;-)

Where is my game saved at? I want to wipe my device completely(including the sdcard) and install fresh.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
you can find the savegames for the sd card on

/Android/data/com.rnet.robominer/files

the names are last_1.sav and last_2.sav (for each slot). Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] ndazey:
Where can I find the save game that is in the phone save game slot? I want to play this on my tablet too but don't want to start over. Thanks. Great game btw!
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
you cant access the phone save game (it's private)

but you can just load the phone slot and save it to SD slot (it will get copied). After that you can find your SD Savegames at /Android/data/com.rnet.robominer/files

Their names are last_1.sav and last_2.sav - it does also work to just switch the sd card to the other device.

Hope that helps!

What's the most expensive gem ?

First of all, it's a great game. Congrats. Very addictive. :good:

Just craving to know what the known highest gem / mineral we can dig is. :confused:

Just to give you an idea about how much I like your game : On May 14th I queued for 15 hours and became a proud owner of Diablo 3 collectors edition. And guess which game I am playing more these days ;)

Bugs and Stuff

Hi reiti,

I have been playing Robo Miner for quite some time now and found a few bugs that I would like to tell you.

First, for whatever reason, the game won't turn around if I flip my phone over 180° (every other app works, e. g. youtube or other games) .

Second, if you build a ladder and build support pillars behind it and then go up from the bottom and remove every support, the ladder will still collapse even without a rock falling on it.

And I have some recommendations too...

First, as already mentioned in some posts before, I would love to see a jetpack in the game. In my opinion, it should be priced similar to the parachute, and every upgrade makes it last longer.

Second, also already mentioned before, multiple diamonds in one level in deeper levels (from about 1000m depth). That wolud make the constant motivation (I'm german so I don't know if that's how you call it :D) much larger.

Third, I would love having multiplayer in the game. I do competitions like "who reaches $10000 earlier" with a friend commonly, and it would be really cool if we could do that in the same mine.

Fourth, I think it wolud be more appropriate if you not directly lost but more like dropped your inventory when you die. So the things you collected are not gone and you can collect them from the spot you died. I know that it would make many things much easier but sometimes when I died and had collected like 300 dynamite before I was pretty pissed off as I had to collect the dynamite all over again. And sometimes that takes the motivation as well... (And I think that is not at all what you want ;))

That is it for now and I hope cou can fix the bugs and maybe bring some of my ideas to the game.

With kind regards,

Henrik Eckhardt.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Upgrading firmware can be a daunting experience for beginners like me, with the fear of producing a "brick" always present. Fortunately, I was helped by the following excellent thread by a member (dr.ketan). The thread shows how to download of the desired LA4 ROM and the Odin program and how to do the upgrade..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Notice that the thread also provided a password (samfirmware.com) which is needed to unzip the LA4 ROM. Also note that in order to unzip the LA4 ROM you need to use 7-zip and not Winzip available from the following link:

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

I have just successfully upgraded from the UK ROM (KK5) to the German ROM (LA4) so that I no longer need to keep checking on the Note for the UK ROM update. I've seen the new keyboard with the number row at the top which can be docked to the left or right side of the screen.

So thanks once again (I did hit his thanks button) to dr.ketan for your excellent thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
Did you update your CSC code or did you have to factory reset at any point? I'm using a XEN Note and still on KK5 as well. I need to avoid a factory reset or wipe ROM since I have an app (Good) that's a pain to get re-authorized if I have to re-install it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
If you follow the update thread you will see there is no mention of CSC code. There was no factory reset and my Note looks unchanged except for the LA4 additions. I'm hoping that now I'm using the German ROM that I receive updates sooner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gonzgeorge:
By following these steps, did you:

1) loose root ?

2) loose adhoc network support (wpa_supplicant file changes) ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Thanks Gaugerer. Could you please tell which options did you select in Odin? And which files should be selected in bootloader, pit, phone, csc, dump ? I am downloading LA4 rom with check fus downloader, so I would get the same files. Thanks again.

--------

Got it. Sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I wasn't rooted, but I understand that the update does lose root and I don't know about losing the adhoc network support.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
If you use the guide by dr.ketan then it explains what to do if you get one file or three files after you unzip the LA4 ROM. I unzipped the German LA4 ROM and only got one file. I did not use the fus downloader but just the dr.ketan procedure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spo0f:
And what's you experience in terms of battery life and speed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Thugsin313:
I also updated my device to LA4 following the instructions on the same thread as mentioned above.

just wanted to tell you that now you can change your CSC to germany (DBT) as well in order to get all future OTA updates for the german region.

in order to do so dial *#272*IMEI#

you will be given a CSC list, choose DBT.

note that this will factory reset you device, so a backup is adviced.

it wont delete you pics, songs, videos etc,

but it will reset the accounts and settings etc.

hope it helps :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Battery life and speed excellent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks for your post. I think I will keep my UK CSC for now but if the UK updates don't improve then I'll switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
As the title says, what does little padlock below Google means , when u are starting(booting) the phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mustbepbs:
It is your bootloader status indicator. Closed means locked, open means unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Actually, not even present = locked :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Thanks to both of you ..

So, one more question (not to open another thread about it ) :

Any way we can add more shortcuts on lockscreen ? (with rooted stock rom) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Might want to check the development forums. I've not seen it done without running aosp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dave83uk:
Apex rom has a 4 way lock screen. Or you could try a separate app like widget locker from the market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
I'm using aokp rom and there are customizable quad (4 app) and octo (8 app) lockscreen options you can activate.
[Motorola Droid X2] radelwow:
Can i really remove Verizon simlock from Droid X2 using online redeemed code ? Any one tried it ?

Sorry for my poor English skills:(
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
There is no sim in the X2
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Idk, try it and tell us if it works!
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I think he's trying to see if he can unlock the X2 to use under a different carrier. At first I thought he meant sim as in sim card, but I don't think that's what he wants.

He wants a way to unlock the phone and then activate it on a different provider. More than likely, he's from overseas.

What you probably really need to look into is the Droid X2 Milestone. I believe that was for overseas carriers (not for the US) if that's what you want.

Otherwise, I don't know of any way to unlock the phone to allow it to be activated on someone other than Verizon.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Oh okay, sorry thought he meant bl unlock! I don't think you can get the X2 on another carrier, I think VZW is the only CDMA carrier...
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
That's why I mentioned the Droid X2 Milestone. It's for people not on Verizon, but I believe it's not available to anyone in the continental US as far as I know. Supposedly, it's running Android 2.3.6 I believe.
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
Hey guys,

glad to say that ive been able to debrick my phone like 5 times in a row successfully which is a weight off my shoulders.

however, once im debricked, rooted, cwm installed, and all .img's pushed i try to flash a custom rom. i've tried every one and i get bootloops every time... they seem to install just fine. very normal timing and everything, no errors. any ideas?
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
Don't format /data. Are you doing that? Link the steps you're taking when you are in cwm to flash over the rom. Maybe something is amiss.
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
nope not formatting data. ive been doing wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and format /system.
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
Man I was in the same boat as you but was finally able to get it sorted this morning. What I highly, highly recommend is starting as fresh and as clean as you possibly can. That is before you do CWM or anything like that restore your phone with the Korean kdz, push all the images (system being last) then make sure you have a bootable, working phone. Also I would recommend using different/new/fresh .img files...I downloaded ones from the unbricking thread and only used a copy of my baseband.img. I had a feeling one of my files wasn't quite right so starting with all new ones may have helped.

Don't try anything from a backup or do a restore or anything-start fresh and make sure everything works as it should. From there do CWM and then do your ROMS. I know you're almost there and its a headache to keep starting from the bottom but do it all one step at a time, in order and you will find success.

Good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
good call. i havent been pushing all the .img's. just the three he mentioned above. let me try this for the 80th time. ill let you know how it goes. just curious, do you use the v10f or v10i kdz?
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Are the ROMs installing in less than 30 seconds or 2-5 minutes? If its less than 30 seconds, you need to flash it again.
[LG Nitro HD] Reviewers:
If i was you i would install the new CWM, once it installs the new CWM it'll work.
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
yep i know that part. thanks

new cwm?? as in the newest version available?does it work on the nitro?

[LG Nitro HD] lilbluemirage:
I had the same problem for awhile. Had to use the Unbricker:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412367

Followed ALL instructions, including "Restoring Nitro HD partition images" before flashing CWM. After that, no more bootloops and installed Revolutions rom w/out issue. Reboots just fine after.
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
I used the V10i-the direct download from LG...I think all the other recommendations are spot on but first and foremost get everything squared away with a fresh install of the kdz, all the images (in the proper order), the new version of CWM and then your rom of choice...Hope you're making some progress!
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I'm on the new CWM and still have a loop if I reboot. Then I need to restore from CWM to get going again.

The soft brick boot loop I got was caused solely by format /system. I did not format /data.
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
I went through the whole deal last night and this morning and was able to get a fresh start on everything and am now running the HD ROM and haven't had a boot loop since I got everything back up and running...

I really think starting with the freshest install and making sure everything is functional step by step is where you'll be able to get through all that mess...just stay away from and restores or using any .img files that may have any software glitches as you'll get back to square one every time.

Hope you get it sorted out!
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
nah bro, i had the new update. no worries tho i pushed all the images in the debrick and fixed it. thanks for all the help guys B)
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
Tight work-glad you were able to get it straight! Now once you get it where you want make a new backup with Nandroid and CWM and you'll be golden in case anything else happens.
[LG Nitro HD] huydq5000:
Hi all,

I'm in a boot loop too, so may I ask you guys a stupid question:

How to restore the previous system.img?

Thanks
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
Go look at the thread "[Solved] Unbricking solution...". Follow it to the T, however, i'd recommend using v10i.kdz rather than v10f.kdz. Definitely try the f version first but if it doesn't work try i. That's what I did. Basically what you're going to want to do is:

1. Restore the phone to a korean image using the v10i (or f) file and the LG software provided and referenced in the unblocking thread.

2. Once booted, root the phone. (specific instructions for v10i are in a thread somewhere linked by V@no. v10f use either SuperOneClick root or DoomLord v4. Make sure you have adb installed for doomlord.

3. Once rooted use adb to push over stock .img files in this order: boot, recovery, firmware, baseband, system.

4. after the files are pushed boot into phone and root again (optional).

5. Install CWM5 through adb or terminal emulator.

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions and I can go into more detail.
