Hi All,

I wanted to share my experience to make it easy for you to play old Skool SNES roms using SNES emulator with wireless gamepad. This will save you some trips to the store. Many instructions indicate that you can hookup the PS3 DualShock 3 SixAxis controller to your Xoom tablet using an OTG cable. These are available on Ebay. I didn't want to wait that long and found that it would be cumbersome to have a wired connector to the bottom of my tablet that is standing up or on its docking station. So the following is how I got it working via Bluetooth.

1. Xoom must be rooted

2. Download from Andoid market the SixAxis controller checker (free)

This will check to see if you tablet is compatible, will save you from buying controller, unless you already have a PS3 (I don't)

3. If step 2 is a go, then buy a PS3 DualShock SixAxis controller (I got the blue one for about 58$ Canadian)

**write down your tablets bluetooth network mac code, will need later.

4. Go to the following website: (cant post weblink on forum cuz im a noob but try www . dancing pixel studios . com - sixaxiscontroller - tool . html)

Download the tool, install, then plug your PS3 controller via USB to your PC

5. PS3 controller drivers will install and the program will recognize your controller.

6. Update the controllers master address with the one noted in step 3.

7. Once completed, go on Android Market and buy (2.99$) the SixAxis controller program, install on tablet.

8. Start this program, it will turn on bluetooth and listen for game controller.

9. Turn on your game controller (make discoverable), the tablet will find the device and pair easily.

10. Then you can try the free version of SuperGNES from the Android Market, is fully functions except you can't save your game data. It will work on Honeycomb version and ICS version.

11. Download some SNES roms to your tablet and you're in business. I can't tell you where to get them but if you google SNES roms you are sure to find some.

I hope this makes it easier for everyone, for a 2.99 investment, this is going to make my next business trip on the long plane ride a lot more fun.
[Xoom General] lordgodgeneral:
With the latest version of Sixaxis Controller, you can elimate steps 3-6. All you need to do is plug the controller in with a usb OTG cable, and the app has a pair controller button, takes less then 10 seconds, and your up and running, no worry about mistyping or messing anything up. Just unplug once it's paired, hit the PS button and your cooking with gas.

What is the best SNES emulator? once upon a time wasn't it snesoid - http://slideme.org/application/snesoid?

is there anyway to use the bluetooth for ps3 without being rooted? :(
[Xoom General] deanr1977:
I like this but instead of playing SNES games I use mine with the Mame emulator & my PS3 controller :-)

An Xoom + PS3 pad + a MAME emulator & plenty of old skool Street Fighter games = 1 very happy man :-D
[Xoom General] bigslam123:
For those who arent rooted, or just want an easier alternative, the Gamestop android game controller works perfectly with all emulators and a large portion of android games without any additional software. Just pair it with the Xoom and you are off and running.
[Xoom General] BenKranged:
Snes 9x EX is free for the full version.

I'm not rooted or anything but I use the wii controller with all the " oid" emulators . rom buddy app+ wiimote & wiimote controller apps = hours of fun. Tecmo bowl anyone?

Hi all,

Just wondering what video player apps (free/paid) that's best for playing ANIME with Subtitle? (similar to PC's Media Player Classic thingy?able to choose audio and subtitle?)

Not sure anyone has hobby like mine, but I do carry some anime with me on my SD Card to watch on the go on my previous PDA (HTC KAISER) and it plays perfectly. (althou some doesn't have subtitle)

Anyone have similar situation and some advise to this android newbie? :p

17/02/2012 updates: (tested anime with .mkv files)

***Tried MoboPlayer 1.2.200 - great at playing the videos, but no subtitle

***Tried Mobo Video Player Pro v1.0.6 - laggy when playing anime, no subtitle

Regards,

Try either Dice or mVideo player, both work well with anime.

MX Video Player ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad and its codec pack at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon ) has worked just peachy for me. It does have support for multiple streams et. al., and it's also plenty fast, too.

BS Player

BS Player

It's free and has all the codecs you'll ever need built in.

MX Player was my player of choice until they had problems securing MKV codec and others.

If you want something that plays practically all file types, is free and lightweight, then BS Player is the one.

Find it on the Play Store.

(I can't add the link, it is against XDA rules, sorry.)

I am not getting ota Optus HTC Incredible S updates from 2.12.980.2 to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Are you stock/unmodified? Try asking on whirlpool if anyone could upload it, or you could speak to Optus (good luck with that).

Or, you could make a goldcard and flash a WWE (unbranded) sense 3 Rom.
[HTC Incredible S] morgy59:
I am on Optus stock Rom
[HTC Incredible S] Jess95:
pffft... good luck, mate. they said it was coming 3 months ago. i got tired of waiting so i installed Android Revolution HD on my Optus Incredible S. Of course you'll have to unlock your bootloader, simple procedure. better than waiting. by the time optus releases a 2.3.5 update there will be fully working ICS ROMS with HTC Sense for the Incredible S.
[HTC Incredible S] morgy59:
They have release the update I just waiting for Optus add my phone to get the update and I am speak to Optus to get updates to my phone
[HTC Incredible S] morgy59:
I have not receive the update to 2.3.5 from Optus yet and I need it so badly because my battery is draining very quickly
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Have you manually checked for updates or rang optus to ask them why its not working?
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
Got my OTA update from Optus about 2 weeks ago...You should do a manual check for updates...otherwise call Optus!

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
The screen on my rezound just went dead. The phone actually turns on, but the screen does not turn on, and it does not appear to respond to touch input either...

I was actually using the rezound when the screen flashed a weird color and then went black. I couldn't get it to respond so i pulled the battery and reset. Like mentioned above, the phone turned back on just fine, but no screen or touch.

BUMMER!! Looks like I'll be visiting a Verizon store on Monday when i get back from vacation. :-(

BOO! I love my Rezound :-(
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Have you tried to boot into recovery?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yeah, there is absolutely no screen activity. I can "boot" the phone, and then reboot to recovery or bootloader via ADB, but its useless because there is absolutely nothing displayed on the screen. Not even the back light turns on.

I only know that it actually booted because I can hear the notification sound that I have a text when it turns on.. otherwise its basically dead.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
That sucks dood...on the bright side, no worries of them checking your bootloader!
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
True. I hope it all works out because I definitely can't afford to replace a Rezound right now....

I guess when I get home on Monday I'll hit up a Verizon store and hope they still have a Rezound available... I've heard stores are starting to no longer carry it... :-(
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
That is insane, the phone has been out for only 4 months, why would they pull the best phone they have off the shelf?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yup, went to 4 Verizon stores today trying to get a physical exchange for another Rezound because I really need my phone for work, but none of the stores I went to carry the Rezound anymore (yet they all had one on display still). So, I had to settle for getting a replacement via snail-mail, which means I have no Rezound til Tuesday or Weds :-( Guess I'll have to reactivate my old Eris for a day or two...

So anyways, it does in fact look like stores are starting to let there inventory of Rezounds run down and not order any more in. Oddly enough, all the stores I went to said that the Droid RAZR is the best selling phone they have, and that Rezounds have never been good sellers. Strange, 'cause I think the Rezound is the nicest phone available right now..
[HTC Rezound] tynan:
got an MHL connector? See if it'll do mirroring...
[HTC Rezound] phio:
I haven't heard about that yet. The RAZR is definitely our best selling phone though.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
It wasn't marketed like the razr was. That is why. If they had done a better job, it would have destroyed the Razr. Really all they had ro do was this was the next evolution of the Inc and people would have flocked to it.

Yes I know the Inc 3 is coming out sometime soon and that would have jacked up their marketing for the new Inc but still they should have thrown a bone out to it.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Not sure what you mean by mirroring... ??

**edit**

Nevermind, I'm a tard.. No I don't have the adapter to connect it to an HDMI display.. I should look into that though. Good call.

Turning Off Noise Suppression: Noise suppression is automatically enabled on the Galaxy S II Skyrocket to help you communicate more effectively in loud environments, but it can be disabled. To turn off noise suppression, touch Applications > Settings > Call > Additional Settings. Uncheck the box next to Noise Suppression.

From what I understand, its the same as on the iphone. it takes whatever background noise is around YOU and cancels it out.

So I've had this problem on almost all roms I've run. It looks like screen burn in, but its not. Obviously.

It disapears after a while, I'm just wondering what causes it.

I searched Google but It's kind a of a hard thing to explain.

I took a screenshot of it, but it kept messing up in the upload. You can barely see it in the pixture. Sometimes it comes up as my text message pop up, or any text box I type in.

I get this too, I'm honestly not sure what it is.

Its mainly from what I've noticed is whitish icons, status bar icons, keyboard, keyboard letters. It annoys me to death some times.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
its burn in. its happened on almost every android phone ive ever seen. it goes away.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluGuy:
It's not burn in. Burn in is permanent where as this usually isn't. This is called image persistence, or image retention. I would post a link to wikipedia article but I don't have enough post so just Google Image persistence. The solution to it is to just turn your device off for a bit.

Looks like I'm stuck with it then, I'm on my phone at least 55-65% of the time.

Can I flash mods, kernels or boot images over CleanRom ICSE 2.3? I've tried flashing a custom kernel (in an attempt to further speed up my phone) but it almost completely bricked my phone. I am fearing the potential paperwight from flashing anything else over this rom. Any advice?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] joey2164:
I know for a fact changing boot animations won't hurt. Using CleanROM 2.3 and the Dice animation from WasabiWa83's thread.
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
I've noticed that changing it manually through a root explorer (Replacing original boot img. with the renamed custom img.) doesn't work the same way. I don't see the same files in the system's media folder.
[HTC Rezound] joey2164:
The instructions in that thread worked for me, but you have to follow them stringently. I use a windows computer, and somehow windows changed the state of the zip folder I was flashing to my phone, causing it to skip the animation. Downloading 7zip and ensuring the zip is formatted as "store" rather than compressed worked immediately.
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
I tried what the thread said, followed the instructions perfectly, but now when I boot up, my phone doesn't even have its boot image. Crap

I'm running the one custom kernel for ICS with cleanROM 2.3 ics. So yes you can. Otherwise, what else is out there?

New download links are going up in a few minutes. They should (hopefully) all be fixed now to work on all ROMs. There were issues with the way the folders were in the Zips. Thanks to Rom-Addict, we should have them working now. If you try one in a minute and it works, make sure you find a post by Rom-Addict and thank him.

[General Questions and Answers] Miklay:
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience and suggestions for long term backup battery storage.

I need to order a new battery for my tab and I have someone behind the scenes who can get me a few batteries with his discount. I want to get one regular use battery to replace the one in my tab and store the others for future use. I'm looking at storing these batteries for at least 2 years. I use my tablet every day for a good 9-10 hours each day, so there is not doubt that I will burn through another batteries charge life cycle within a year or so.

I started to use it sans battery and just kept it plugged in when I was at home to preserve the battery for work, but keeping it plugged in is starting to become a pain.

So, to recap simply: I need to store a tablet battery unused for at least a year and need some advice.
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
Store a Li Ion battery at about 50% charge. You shouldn't be keeping them stored and unused for more than a year. Rotate them in and out of use. Keep one of them charging while you use the other. Once you drain one, swap it with the charged one. I do this with my HD2 and the three batteries I have for it. I always have a spare, and always have one charged and ready to swap out.
[General Questions and Answers] Miklay:
Yeah, that's what I was hoping I wouldn't hear. This is what I do with the travel battery for my phone, but this is a tablet that is a beast to change the battery. After taking the back off a few times it becomes way to loose and I have to replace the back.

Any other suggestions - possibly a 40-60% charge and a nice cold chill in the fridge? I don't know the validity of the refrigerated battery but my grandparents swear by it and have always had ready to use batteries (a little different than my application, I know, but still...)
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
That's actually sound advise. Chilling the battery slows the decay. Do not put them in the freezer. I would think they'd be ok in the fridge, but I've never stored a battery for more than a couple days in there. I'm not sure how it would react to years in there. Your best bet is to buy the batteries closer to the time you need them. For what you are asking, you're going to be wasting your money anyway. You may as well get your money's worth later on.

signal

Has anyone found the solution for the gray\blue signal switching? So far as I can tell it is caused by the wifi; whenever I go from mobile network to wifi data, the signal bars go gray. The only work-around has been to switch airplane mode on and off. Would switching to the newly released glitch kernel do the trick?

EDIT: I have found out the Google services problem (gray vs. blue signal) is only happening when I join a network which requires a redirect authentication OR if the power saver is enabled.

Just got this phone and flashed it with - AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM

I have been reading for awhile now before I received the phone. Thanks vibranturk for all the development here! Excellent roms!

1) When I start the camera app from app on homescreen and from unlock - the phone goes into a black screen

The camera app worked fine again after a reset (just turning off and back on) but after awhile it does the same thing - black screen.

During the black screen, I can press the home button to return back to homescreen

** Resetted again, and all seems well at the moment and still fine after 1 hour!

2) I am not sure if this is the rom or just my screen. Did not notice it at first when i flashed the rom. Turning on the screen to unlock the phone, ie when the light starts, i get this bright green full screen flash for like a second. It does not happen everytime and no pattern of when it happens either.

Anyone else having these problems?

Can someone please update the 'AOKP thread in Captivate Android Development' with my issues, just trying to help with the development.

For the signal blue/grey thing, Seems like it goes blue for me when i have data signal coming in, either wifi or data enabled - lights up both wifi signal (only if wifi is on) and signal bars blue.

I have power saver is enabled as well.
