Hey XDA,

I would like to present to you my very first Android app/game - Moonlight Run.

It is a very simple endless runner game, with 'noir' graphics and only one objective - get as far as possible. You'll meet only two kinds of obstacles and the game speed will increase continuously.

Flappy Bird (the game which I play a lot even today) was a GREAT inspiration for me, as well as the 'noir' styled graphics of Limbo, so I would like to mention these two. Also, the game is written in pure Javascript, so it is not native. However, thanks to the CocoonJS service from Ludei, I was able to bring it to this platform.

Please, let me know about your opinion. I would also like to hear your thoughts about the difficulty, because I have absolutely no clue whether it is difficult or not, as I was playing it for hours through the development process and now it seems incredibly easy to me.

Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.tinoarts.moonlight

Regards,

Tino :D

Update 1.0.0:

- minor bug fixes

- app size reduced to less than 50%
[Android Apps and Games] Entangled Multiverse:
Cool game! I think the difficulty is very high, you need quite some time to get a decent score. It's funny that the game insults you when you score something below 10 :D I also like the graphics very much, the ghosting effect created by the alpha channel pipes is very cool! Will you add Google Play - Games Services Leaderboards?
[Android Apps and Games] TinoArts:
Thank you very much :)

Yes, I would like to add the leaderboards in the very near future. Also, the next update will get rid off quite unnecessary permission of getting user's location via mobile data, and I've also found a way to reduce the game size by almost 50%.

Sorry for the insulting though. :D
[Android Apps and Games] TinoArts:
Version 1.0.0 is released, I've fixed some minor bugs and reduced the app size to less than 50%.

I would also be very glad, if some of you would be kind enough to try download the game. A friend of mine sent me a screen from Google Play yesterday, saying he is getting an "Package file is not signed properly" error. I tried to download it on my tablet and I got the same error message. Which is strange, because some people actually were able to download and install it. So I re-signed the app with tools from JDK 6, and I would be very happy to hear from you, if you actually can or can not download the game. Thank you very much!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpender:
Hi,

First thread on here so forgive me for being a noob.

Two weeks ago I set my HTC One M7 to updated to lollipop before I went to bed. When I woke up it was still stuck on updating. I rebooted my phone and it was then bricked.

Took it to a phone repair shop and was told it failed because I didn't have enough free memory on the phone for the software to extract and install so it failed. They tried resetting to factory settings etc but no joy, there was no boot file.

After TWO WEEKS with the phone they have now managed to install lollipop on the device and everything seems to be in working order, except.... I have all my contacts backup up Dropbox using HTC Backup app. So now that I have my phone back I want to restore from Dropbox.

The only problem is that 'HTC Backup' is not on Google Play store. When I searched for HTC Backup on Chrome it gave me the option to open in the Play Store but with the error "Your device is not compatible with this version".

Firstly, is there a reason why HTC Backup is now not compatible since I upgraded to Lollipop?

Is there any other way of restoring my backup from Dropbox without using HTC Backup app?

Please let me know if you need any more info that I may have let out.

Thanks.

[HTC Breeze] jeegnesh:
I am thinking of buying Breeze/MTeor but I wanted to get users opinon on the phone, things that I would like to use:

Pushmail, Naviagation.

Things I wanted to know about was:

1 - Does the phone freeze or hang ?

2 - Is there any problems where you miss alot of phone calls (had this issue on HTC TyTn)

3 - Does it work fast enough, navigating through menu and apps ?

4 - Will I be able to use TomTom ?

5 - If anyone has experience of Pocket PC, what the difference you find with Smartphone version ?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Breeze] futureshock:
Hi,

first you could read the Wiki (Review's) maybe help you too!!

second:

i had an TyTn before the MTeor!

had also many problems with the tytn ... but most of them in wm5 ... with wm6 most is gone...

i had no phone hang yet on mteor! no calls missed ... i didn't expect any problems so far...

speed is very good! (is the only sp with a 300 mhz cpu) !!!

you are able to use tomtom!

once there is an special smartphone tomtom edition you also can use the pocketpc version! there is a programm called PSHelper with that programm you can act with the d-pad like you have a touchscreen (with a mouse coursor!!)

the differences between the ppc and sp are the missing of a touchscreen!! but as you can see on tomtom with pshelper there is also not a big problem!

some apps did not work on sp ... like the game worms... there are some special smartphone versions of apps out!!

for software just look in wiki!!

also theres a bit difference in the today screen but nothing big.. you did not have such plugins like on the ppc ... just browse the web for sbsh facade or look in to wiki i have attached a screenshot in the skin section ... there you can see the agenda software...
[HTC Breeze] jeegnesh:
Thanks, I did look through the Wiki and the forum before posting.

I cannot find anything about PSHelper searched google too, do you have a link ?

I sold my TyTn and went for a treo 750v which I really do like, but I want to go to a smaller phone but keep alot of the functions, and the MTeor seems to be the perfect solution.

Which version of TomTom are you running, I have version 6 I use on my treo can I use this with PSHelper ?
[HTC Breeze] futureshock:
Hi,

sorry my fault program calls sphelper ;)

http://www.bobsoft.com/sphelper/

i used it with tomtom5 and 6 theres no difference...

simply explained... the programs that are written for ppc waits for input on screen! but you cant do that on a smartphone...

so the mouse cursor does that for you!!

for me the mteor is the best solution... it is a phone with pocketpc funktionalities!!

i have loved my tytn but the size and weight ....

if you want a slideout keyboard i prever you to wait for s730 ? because s710 has the slide out keyboard but the "slow" omap cpus ....
[HTC Breeze] jeegnesh:
s730 with keyboard starts looking like my TyTn :-) I think I'd be happy with the MTeor and hopefully with the new versions you mentions, should mean the MTeor resale price should be coming down, works for me.
[HTC Breeze] staffann:
1 - I haven't had any problems with the phone hanging.

2 - I have huge problems, especially when roaming, that the phone looses the connection to the network - even if the signal strength is good. Others have had a better experience.

3 - I find it fast enough.

4 - Only Tomtom mobile 5 will work. Tomtom navigator 6 is only done for PPC.

5 - I will be going the other way soon, getting a 3600 instead. I've never used a PPC yet.
[HTC Breeze] futureshock:
!!! try to use sphelper, very cool !!!

i have bought my mteor for 320€ new without an provider ... i think thats not so bad... i have payed 500€ for the tytn ... for quite an year...
[HTC Breeze] staffann:
I did some time ago. Cool maybe, but I find the resulting user interface (TT6+sphelper) almost unusable anyway. Maybe I should have written that TT6 doesn't work very well with MTeoR since TT6 is written for PPC and not smartphones. It can be made to work, barely.
[HTC Breeze] jeegnesh:
Alright at last I won myself a Mteor on ebay, waiting for delivery hopefully Thursday, can't wait :-)

So tomtom5 runs without the need for sp helper, tomtom6 you need sp helper is that right ?

Does it really make it unusable ?, Is sphelper always running? does it slow down the phone at all ?
[HTC Breeze] Alexx_B:
yes

TT5 has a smartphone version and pocket version, but TT6 is pocket only. So you need rather additions to run pocket software like TT6

you need run it only when you want to use TT6
[HTC Breeze] jeegnesh:
So should I just use TomTom Mobile 5 which was made for smartphone? (I take it voices is a problem)

Is there any benefit of using TomTom 6 ?
[HTC Breeze] darrellr:
TT6 has much better maps.

Note: TT 5.200 is the lowest version you need.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
[Q] Seriously considering buying GS6 but I have questions regarding UI mods & roms

First off, a huge thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer these. This might be the first non-AOSP phone i've ever bought.

I know all of the answers will be somewhat speculation since the GS6 is still new but mostly I'm just looking for what's been done in the past with the Samsung Exynos processors. And if I do get one I most likely will be getting a T-Mobile branded one as there does not seem to be a Samsung unlocked version sold in the US, if I'm wrong please correct me there.

So essentially my question is, will these changes be most likely possible.

1) Removing AM/PM from 12 hour clock.

2) Disabling capacitive button light and remapping buttons back to left, multitask to right. or

3) Getting nexus-style soft keys and disabling capacitive buttons.

4) Installing the AOSP Google Dialer and contacts.

So second part is about ROMS.

Now to my understanding the Exynos essentially means no stable 100% working AOSP roms ever. That has been my understanding and part of my reason for staying away from Galaxy S phones. Recently I've seen many places where people are saying just put CM12 on it but then in my own research CM12 or anything similar either seems to not be available or has serious bugs. So is it possible, lets say more than 50% chance that the GS6 will get a 100% stable bug free AOSP rom.

As a follow up to that, if it is possible, based on earlier phones and AOSP roms, does the camera suffer or does it retain the same quality. Sony phones for example, the camera breaks badly if you unlock the bootloader and install AOSP. It requires a locked bootloader and Sony rom to function properly. Also anyway for the fingerprint reader to still work on AOSP?

Second question regarding modded touchwiz roms. Can things like my above questions, and more AOSP like mods be done in these custom roms? Such as full AOSP theming of Samsung apps, stock google apps, and would apps like T-Mobile WiFi calling still work in modded touchwiz roms.

Once again a huge thanks in advance to anyone who helps out with these questions.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
1.) Yes, I have done that on my S5.

2.)Once again yes, I have done that on my S5.

3.) I'm sure there's an app for that lol

4.) Idk but I've been wondering the same thing!

Check out MOAR ROM for the Sprint S5, that's what I'm running right now, just to give you an idea of all the mods possible.

From what I've heard, AOSP build will be damn near impossible on the S6, and also from what I've read, the camera does take a major hit in quality. AOSP themeing can be done once Samsung releases the theme SDK that is built into the new TouchWiz in the S6!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
That rom seems perfect for what I would want, hope the GS6 gets something on par. I love AOSP but luckily Samsung has actually done a pretty decent job with TouchWiz on lollipop and since I simply don't trust Google to make a Nexus phone with a good camera or battery anymore after the N6 I'm really considering the GS6 and I've really been enjoying playing around with it at best buy but obviously coming from 7 years of AOSP it's tough to leave.

Glad 1 and 2 are a yes. Probably my biggest annoyances. Though you mention the S5, that's on a snapdragon correct? I assume from your yes those should still be possible regardless of chipset.

I really hope 4 is possible. I've done a lot of searching but haven't found anything unfortountly. I could live with the Samsung dialer, but I would much prefer to have the Google one.

If the camera quality will degrade with AOSP than I just wouldn't even bother. Camera is probably my biggest reason for the S6 over a new Nexus.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
Yeah man, that ROM made my S5 the amazing phone that I love haha, so much freakn customization within the ROM.

Yes the S5 is on Snapdragon, but MOAR is a TouchWiz based ROM, not AOSP.... and TouchWiz based ROMs won't be a proble, regardless of the chip that's used. And I also would love to see #4 too, but I'm guessing it would have to somehow be ported to work with the S6 & TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] play2lose:
Some info on camera quality:

I've had every galaxy phone since the Note 2 / S3.

The camera is always MUCH worse on AOSP/CM roms. Worse than the difference on a Sony going from stock to AOSP.

However now with the new camera API and better 3rd party apps coming out I think it may not be an issue.

I tried the "Snap Camera" app on my Galaxy S6 today and it seemed just as good as the stock Samsung app but I'll have to do more testing.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
Ouch. Well no need to really worry about AOSP now though it would be nice one day. Always the hope Google actually makes a good Nexus 5 again though :laugh: . I would hope that third party apps would retain quality though the new Camera app from Samsung is excellent from my experience demoing it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nflwideout86:
where have you heard aosp will be impossible?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
Exynos is not as open (or open at all?) like Qualcom is. Therefore it is REALLY dang hard to get AOSP ROMs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakesh1155:
Hi,

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S2 from last 2 years and I faced minor issues which were manageable. However, I have come an issue with call volume being too low which is troubling a lot. (Android Version 4.1.2)

When I am using my earphones during an ongoing call, I have observed if I chat on whatsapp simultaneously, the incoming message tone reduces the in-call volume. For this, I would quickly unplug the earphone from the mobile and plug it back and the in-call volume becomes normal.

What happened recently, I was on a call without earphones and I had to reply to a message on whatsapp, so I opened whatsapp and the incoming message tone on whatsapp reduced the volume on my phone.

I could unplug the earphone, but not sure how do I get the in-call volume to normal ?

Does anyone have a solution to this ?

I read on various forums, about setting the volume by accessing *#197328640# and option 5 for audio, but when I select option 5, it stays on the same page.

Hoping to get some interesting answers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayzel:
Audio routes

There is an Android API called AudioManager which allows applications to specify how their audio will behave on the device. It also tells OTHER APPS how their audio should behave while this app is running. It sounds like you're having a 'ducking' issue. This is when an app you run tells all the other apps that there audio should go below (quieter than) the app that's running. Apps are supposed to undo these changes when you leave them but sometimes (as you've found) that doesn't happen and audio routing (earpiece, speakerphone, volume) can start to act strange. On Samsung devices a power OFF / power ON cycle will resolve the issue, and there are probably apps in the app store that would let you modify the AUDIO MANAGER MODES.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiarfuzzy:
I really enjoy my Nexus 4 and wasn't planning to change it until it fails, but i found an Nexus 6 at a very attractive price...

The guy who sells it says he got it from outside the country, it was working and he did an factory reset and now the phone wants the previous gmail account and password to finish the reset. I don't know how true is his story, and I really don't care...

I'm tempted to buy it, but can it be resurrected? Can i root it, install a custom recover and ROM, as the phone is? I don't want to end up with an paper weight...

The rooting guide suggest it's possible, but it says that first i have to enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging, and this has to be done from the phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
No, it cannot be recovered without the gmail password. This is a security feature. This leads me to believe that the phone may be stolen.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiarfuzzy:
I did some research on the new "Device Protection" and it seems pretty solid... But i'm afraid this will kill the second-hand android market also...

Just a few scenarios:

1. I want to sell my phone, but obviously i don't want to sell it with my account. How will i do that?

2. I buy a SH phone, i enter my email then do a factory reset. What will happen than? Will it ask for my account or the previous one?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Neither of your scenarios are causes for concern.

1: Only a moron would sell a phone without performing a factory reset BEFORE handing it over to the purchaser.

2: See #1.

3: ALWAYS perform a factory reset **AND** network test with YOUR SIM CARD WITH the seller BEFORE handing over the money. If it completes successfully, then you're golden. If it is a NEXUS device, perform an OEM UNLOCK on it before handing over the money. If it completes successfully (along with functional network), then you're golden.

If #3 is not possible, you should ensure that your method of payment protects you from fraud of this nature.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02840:
If you're selling your phone, or passing it on to someone else, you can remove your account before you do so. Factory resetting without removing your Google account first will not un-protect the phone. If you reset without removing your account it will remained locked to your account.

Without access to a Google account that was previously setup on a protected phone there seems to be no way to activate it on a new Google account.

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en

On a side note; if you've changed your Google account password don't factory reset your phone for at least 72hrs.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Nobody should be selling used Nexus 6 at any kind of discount at this point in time.

The reason it is a discount, is because it is STOLEN.

If the owner of the registered gmail account cannot be contacted, then the ownership chain is broken and the device is stolen.

It *MAY* be possible to bring it back to life using low level reinitialization, HOWEVER, it could also have a blocked IMEI, making it useless on a network even IF you manage to clear the lockout.

If I were you, I would report this seller to law enforcement.

So after i do a factory reset, I verify my account and the reset finishes. Than it will be like a new phone, my account will than be removed and the buyer will have to enter a new/his account?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
If you look on eBay for used iPhones, you'll see many cheap 5 and 6 variants - except in cases where the phones are horribly damaged, they are usually iCloud Activation Locked. I tend to see that as a comparable concept to Lollipop's Device Protection scheme and it may likewise lower some phone theft numbers over time, for all we know.

At the very least, Device Protection might make people more cautious when purchasing Android phones - a seller on eBay sold me a locked S5 and none of her passwords worked - fortunately, this was KitKat, so performing 10 bad passcodes forced a factory reset with no additional locks.

Seen this a few times now. I don't think that is how it works. Pretty sure you have to prove you owned the phone. As in it was attached to your account, or a police report. If you can just call and say your phone with blah blah IMEI was stolen and they don't verify anything what's stopping me from just blacklisting all phones (of I had enough time to go through all IMEI's)?

(OK that's a bit extreme as it would take well longer then a few life times to call and so each one, but you get the idea)
