Hello

I am very happy to see this game here ,

I got one request, can you please add the GFX and SND folders as attachment so that we can download easily on Android and use it directly without pc at all

Please provide those files for us to download
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Hi, we don't distribute the assets I'm afraid as we don't own them. They are easy to get if you have access to a computer though, you just need an original copy of the game or if you don't have that, you can download the Amazons demo.

More info here in the prerequisites section https://www.settlers-android-clone.com/download/

It's worth it :D
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Sure ,I will give it a try and tell my experience with it

But thank you for creating this:svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] autumnguardiANs:
Maybe this project should create their own baseset for game graphics? Just like openttd with their opengfx
[Android Apps and Games] zeus_89:
This is great ,but Dose it work on tablets ?
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
I tried the game but it lags a lot in my phone, my phone is Motorola g4 plus with Snapdragon 625
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Yes this would be nice, we are talking about producing certain higher resolution graphics already. Mainly for various menu parts to begin with.

Yep it should work on pretty much all Android devices running 4.4+. The Android controls work well on devices of all sizes, but 7-10 inch tablets are a particularly nice way to play thanks to the extra screen size.
[Android Apps and Games] autumnguardiANs:
Already bookmark the site. Because looking for data fron the pc game and copying it to our devices is pain, not talking about who don't own the game
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
It can be a bit slow for the first minute, I think it is doing some extra calculations in the background at this point. Also later in the game when more stuff is happening it can start to slow down on older phones. For me it runs much better on my Samsung 10.1 2014 tablet on on my S5. I suspect on good devices less than a year old it runs much better still. There are probably optimisations that can be made to improve performance on mobile devices.
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Work has started on implementing Team games. This will work for both singleplayer and multiplayer ?

Hopefully this will be available in the nightly builds sometime soon.
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Boss,

This game has got a lot of potential, it's very good

But like I said it lags even on a good phone like Moto g4 plus

It's very good news to hear that further development is going on , hoping to see this improve to be the best rts for Android

Please improve it

:svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Team games now working in single player mode.

Currently being worked on are

- multiplayer team games

- ships for transport and trading.

Check out the nightly builds to try the latest additions. Android and desktop versions both available in the nightlies.

How to get the download link of nightly builds in

https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Go to View Code then there will folders "master" and "pull requests" master contains more stable builds, pull requests are the latest features. Keep going into these folders then choose the date you want and download the zip file containing the apk

E.g.

https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies/tree/gh-pages/master/2017-07-12_20-58-38__e3e8390
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Nice ,I will definitely try
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
The game has improved a lot but building icons not seen at all and the lagging has reduced but still need improvement with the lagging

But the game has become very good

Below is screenshot of no building icons bug seen in latest master version
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
That's not the latest version, install this. https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies/tree/gh-pages/master/2017-07-12_20-58-38__e3e8390
[Android Apps and Games] Ibanez33:
Can wait to try this out.

Also if there are other mac users that want to try this out the exe is just a self extractor so you just need an archive utility that supports the format. I used KeKa.
[Android Apps and Games] Xian S2:
old but gold game <3 can i play it in german cause i watch the video on the website and it was in german but the screenshots here show´s me english stuff ???
[Android Apps and Games] tom.pratt:
Yes German is supported in most places in JSettlers. You might find some bits of text that are only in English where translations haven't been added yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Legonix:
its very cool when such stratagy game comes on mobile
[Android Apps and Games] bumb0ks:
Love all game from Settlers series! :o
[Android Apps and Games] Logisk:
This game brings back so many memories. Will definitely give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] NoDiskNoFun:
Bump this up! This one needs some devs!
[Android Apps and Games] strangelovee:
Awesome work and awesome game!

Any solution for the lag? using a google pixel XL?

Also have problems with game freezing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÁnthonyFernández:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Note 1 (GT-N7000 in French) which I updated three years ago to a 4.1.2 version of Android using a ROM stock (if I well remember).

I rooted the device too and had SuperSU installed and recently I bought a Note 4 and then, I wanted to test the SpiritRom 4.4.4 on the Note 1 but i can't because I must format the OS partition first.

Trying to find out how to do it I met the TWRP recovery allowing to do that and many more but unfortunately I cannot install it.

I saw 2 image in the data base:

- One called twrp-3.0.0-0-quincyatt, and

- one called twrp-3.0.0-0-quincytmo

I tried both using the TWRP app and image files copied in the internal memory of the phone but I end with the same message saying "Failed"...

I really would like to install something allowing me to format and install any ROM I zant as I will probably test during a while until a found out the one I really like.

Anyone have an idea ?

I now restarted the Note 1 and it stay on the first screen showing the Galaxy Note screen.

It doesn't go further then...
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] felroric:
Firstly I need to say that I've read the forums from top to bottom before posting this, so I'm pretty sure no one here experienced this particular issue here on a P9 Plus at least.

I've tried tried to flash TWRP in order to be able to root my P9 Plus.

To do this I did the following steps:

1. Enable Developer Options in settings

2. Enable USB debugging

3. Successfully unlocked my bootloader using a code from Huawei

4. Entered fastboot mode and flashed the latest TWRP 3.1.1 recovery from their website

5. After Huawei's eRecovery kept opening I (after a suggestion in another post in the forums) flashed TWRP on recovery2 as well.

6. Phone stuck in "Your device is booting now..." screen and only booting in fastboot mode is working.

Any ideas what I've broken and how I could possibly fix it?

EDIT: At this point I'm willing to flash everything back to stock, however I'm not sure if I've got the VIE-AL10C00 or VIE-AL10BC00. I'm using the 64GB Dual SIM Chinese version of the phone with Android N and got both firmwares downloaded (updatebc183 for BC00 and 198 for C00 which are the latest for both versions) and ready.

EDIT2: I downloaded the

correct latest full update 198

for my VIE-AL10C00 (as it turns out) and extracted the recovery and recovery2 images, then flashed them along with boot.img. Still having the same issue. (I need to say that in fastboot I can't flash anything other than recovery, recovery2 and boot images)
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
The Honor 9 comes with two different options for RAM. You can get either 4GB or 6GB. During the launch event, Honor showed a video speed test where the 6GB RAM Honor 9 smoked the Galaxy S8.

In this video, you can see it's about on par with the OnePlus 5.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxDGpZhohrY

So which version will you be getting?
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] NikosKont:
The 4GB one, it is already a bit expensive in Europe (at least in comparison to China) and I don't think I need the extra 2 GB anyway
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
I'd like to take the 6 GB version. But in Europe only the 4 GB version is available. And I don't think buying it in China just to get those 2 extra GB is worthy, since you'll have to pay more after customs and you're probably losing warranty.

Any thoughts about that? Are you buying official store EU or from China importers?

Thanks

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Does anyone have an idea what Amazon calls their status/notification panel? Like is it an APK? Is it tied into something else? I'm trying some things, but I haven't been able to track down it's source. I may have completely missed this one, but until I'm accused of being blind as a bat, I'm stumped!

I changed the title of the thread because I wanted to add another question to this when I posted it, but had forgotten what I wanted to post.

I have downloaded a few apps for both my phone and my Fire HD 8 that tell you if your device is USB OTG (On The Go) capable and if it's turned on. Both my phone and the tablet have USB OTG both are supposedly working. Question is: Does a USB OTG adapter work on the tablets? If so, what kind do I need? I see several types on Amazon and some have every connection under the moon. I don't want to waste the 5 dollars or less if it doesn't work.

I want to be able to use my phone to talk to my tablet and unless you jerry rig a standard USB cable (I tried and the biggest problem is getting the rubber and plastic off the micro USB plug), USB OTG cable is the only other way I know of.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ali Mirza:
Since 2015 when I had purchased the amazing LG G4 where I didn't like the Galaxy S6 (no more Samsung for me) I had strong belief that LG is superior to Samsung in some ways! From these 2 years to present, LG is slowly gaining popularity and momentum due to better UI (LG UI is best imo and also better than boring and simple stock Android) in 2016 LG G5 was really underrated that it defeated flat Galaxy S7 in most aspects where as the LG V20 was better than the Galaxy S7 Edge as well as Galaxy Note 7! Now the more surprising thing is how can a really powerful device running on latest SD 835 with Samsung's software TouchWiz isn't smooth as any LG ! LG G6 with slightly older SD 821 is seriously very well optimised with LG UX 6.0 very smooth and fast just like the One Plus 3T or the Google Pixel. Hats of to LG for the LG G6 for amazing cameras, all round proper optimizations including fantastic battery life lasting whole day etc. Imagine another LG device like the upcoming LG V30 running on SD 835 with LG UX 6.0 and also similar or better than the G6's camera sensor (something better than IMX 258 but LG G6's camera optimization is superior with this sensor and oh that wide angle is crazy) would be the ultimate beast which can be a favorite for years! Galaxy Note 8 would be really boring. LG can do a lot better in sales if all variants of the LG G6 can be bootloader unlocked where as only single SIM international version can be rooted and will have more community support.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] StonerSteve420:
Two coworkers of mine got their S8+ a little over a week after I got my G6. One of them just had to get a replacement due to pixels being green all the time even when the screen is off and her boyfriend is having green screen burn in issues.

My G6 has been dropped (Yes I have a case and Tempered Glass Screen Protector) multiple times and it's having no issues at all.

This is how the pixel and pixel XL should have been designed.

This phone is the best device of 2017 only ones that have a chance to beat it are the next Pixels and the OnePlus 5.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanMan5000:
It seems to me like the Note 8 is just going to be an S8 with a few upgrades along with the pen and the bloatware thay comes with it. It's disappointing. Samsung did an excellent job with the hardware and design though. I wish they could just make a real international phone compatible with all networks (my European G6 probably won't work on Sprint which wasn't a problem until I realized I want to stay with it). Though I think it's not psosviel.

I read a lot about the production issues but I personally didn't have any manufacturing defects on mine. The phone was just extremely fragile and I disliked every case I tried so I went caseless. Maybe one day we will have phones that are well designed and also durable.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mchi5:
Great write up OP. Samsung did a great job about marketing the hell out of the Infiniti display. And I think most people are seduced by it's display

For me, I didn't want the gimmicky curved screen and wanted a phone that was buttery smooth and didn't lag. After playing with both at the store I went with the LG G6 and couldn't be happier.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ted presley:
There should be more comparison like this. Samsung UI (whatever they call it - Experience or TouchWiz) is lagging regardless the launcher, how strong the CPU is (of course, things get bettet with the stronger CPU).

Samsung should spend some of advertising money on optimizing their UI. I did get frustrated when my S6 Active and S7 Active lagging while surfing on Chrome....
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanMan5000:
Yes exactly. It wasn't just the TouchWiz launcher as I was using Nova Launcher Prime. There are definitely some serious underlying issues with the software.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
Spigen ultra slim hybrid hard case is brilliant, check it out.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SOCOM-HERO:
S8 is bleeding edge, G6 is cutting edge.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GLISIT:
After years with Samsung (Nexus, S4, S5), I waited for Samsung to get back on course for my needs (primarily expandable storage) so I held on to my S5 for as long as I could. This year though, it was time to move on so I explored the S8. The curved screen design did nothing for me, my hands-on experience with it at stores was meh, and the in-depth and real-user reviews gave me some doubts. And the lack of a proper case with included screen cover (i.e. Otterbox Defender) was the proverbial nail on the coffin.

Adding to the comments on a few of the features of the LG G6:

Design/Software I liked the LG G4 when it came out but didn't need a new phone at the time, so I jumped at the chance to get the G6 (US997 unlocked) and I can say I am extremely happy with the phone so far. Still getting used to the way LG does its software thing, but no deal-breakers so far. I am not jumping into customizing it right away, not until I get used to it or annoyed by it, lol. The phone's physical design is extremely comfortable on the hand, even with a case. It fits nicely in the hand and one-handed use is still possible despite the increased screen real estate.

Fingerprint Scanner The scanner works extremely well, at least compared to the slide-your-finger design of the S5 and lot of laptops. I just have to get used to not pressing down on the button. More than once I've unlocked/locked my phone in one fell swoop. The position of the scanner is certainly better on the G6 than the S8, particularly if you use the phone with your left hand. I do wonder if Samsung designers didn't consider left-hand usage.

Camera: I've had excellent results with the G6 camera though I can see what people refer to when they say the camera tends to overprocess the images. The wide-angle lens has come in handy multiple times. The fact you can shoot raw with this phone is something I can't wait to explore as I know it will address the overprocessing issues. Others have recommended using alternative camera apps, so that might be another option.

Battery This is of course anecdotal, but battery life has been excellent so far, lasting all day for my use. It's nice to get home with over 50% of battery life, even with the always on display enabled, various messengers firing off all day, calling, and streaming/playing music from my phone.

SideSync OMG, not having SideSync (or its equivalent) is the one thing I am absolutely struggling with. I use it at work to manage my phone, monitoring alerts, and streaming music from my 128 GB card without having to keep the phone unlocked all the time or wiring up the phone to my computer to control audio. SideSync was a seamless integration of the phone into my computer, just one more app on my screen that I could fully control. All LG tools I've tried are pretty much a joke compared to SideSync.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
I have both a LG G6 (quad-DAC version) and a S8+ (Exynos). Got the G6 first and the S8 a couple of days ago. I have had both variants of the G6, with and without DAC and they don't differ in feel or performance. My main findings are these:

Fingerprint scanner: The LG one blows the Sammy out of the water. Not only because of the placement but for function and accuracy too. The obvious flaw with the Sammy is the placement. But that coupled with that you have to place your finger correctly on it instantly does not help. On the LG you can slide your finger over it and when you stop, the scanner reads your finger. The Samsung can not do this. You have to put your finger on it without swiping upon it. It sucks. End of story. It's to narrow too.

Camera: Both phones overprocesses images. Specially sharpness and noise reduction. However S8 has the much cleaner images image quality wise as it has a better sensor than the LG. However the wide angle on the LG is super fun and no other brand has it so it's a big plus for the LG. Photos in the dark specifically looks much better on the S8. In daylight it's pretty much even. LG camera software lags a lot from time to time though. It can sometimes take up to 5 seconds to start the camera and up to 2 seconds shutter delay. Not OK at all. Have not experienced this on the S8.

Software: The S8 is much smoother in scrolling but LG is quicker and has much less lag overall (camera is the exception). But I do get a much smoother experience on the S8 which quite frankly surprised me a lot. The G6 stutters a lot compared to the S8. S8 is stuffed with functions, too much if you ask me but a lot of it is also fun. However I don't miss any of it on the G6. I do miss the pull down notification button in navbar from the G6.

Battery: A little too early for me to tell. But G6 seems to have the better battery life when using full brightness out in broad daylight on mobile data. However inside on WiFi on lower brightness the S8 most likely wins fairly easily.

Display: No secret here that the screen in the S8 is a winner. However whites are a little more white on the G6 and has more "punch" to it. But blacks obviously suffer instead. But it has good blacks for being an LCD. Both screens are very good but S8 has the advantage. G6 screen is sharper because of RGB-matris and not pentile like the Sammy. Even at the same screen size the LG would be sharper.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhill1986:
I just traded my G6 for an S8 (T-mobile JOD), and I pretty much agree with everything you said, except that for me, the G6 was all around a smoother software experience. I COMPLETELY agree about the issues with LG's camera app launching too slowly. That was probably my biggest pet peeve about the device.

I'm happy with my s8, just as I was happy with my G6. Both are great devices.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
Just out of curiosity did you have the Exynos version or Snapdragon? The S8+ really has much smoother scrolling for me while it's slower overall. The G6 stutters a lot for me and I mean a lot.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhill1986:
Snapdragon. It isn't because my S8 is bad with stuttering, though (except with animations returning to the home screen). It's just that my G6 didn't stutter much at all with scrolling and had more fluid animations in general.

The strange thing to me is that low end devices offer such a similar experience with regard to smoothness. I was trying out a Nokia 6 the other day and thinking, why am I paying so much for these high-end devices. Okay, screen and camera, but it seems like these things should offer an (almost) perfectly smooth user experience.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
I have the Exynos version. There might be differences. GSMArena mentions fairly big performance difference between the Exynos and Snapdragon version in favor of the Exynos. But yes, returning to homescreen often stutters.

I know what you mean. I've had a Lenovo P2 for €30 and its smoothness beats the crap out of both phones. Horrible camera though. But Nexus smooth for the most part.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sionyboy:
I bought a G6 coming from a Note 5, first Samsung phone I have owned since the original Galaxy S.

I won't be going back to Samsung anytime soon, the bloat, the lag and the random battery drain 'features' of touchwiz have really soured me. Which is a shame, as build quality and features wise I think Samsung are producing the best Android phones on the market, sadly the software completely destroys the experience.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jonte:
You should try a factory reset on the G6. It can greatly reduce the scrolling lag , as it did för me.

There is a topic about here somewhere...
