Well you can get a Wiimote and a Classic Controller Pro for about $10 each on eBay, so it's not that bad.

Carrying 2 controllers does suck, yes. The Datel is the best option, if you can find it, but that's like $50+
[EVO 4G Accessories] lion2:
Yes you can use a bluetooth gamepad with sense installed. I use the BGP-100 bluetooth gamepad with my stock EVO. However the wiimote will not work.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
Really?? I didn't know that worked with Sense. Cool.

Though I always thought that controller looked sorta janky and wouldn't be the best to play on. What are your experiences?

What emu's have you tried it with? I play PSX on my Evo so the R+L buttons are important. Looks like that gamepad only has one each?

how about this thing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
That's the Nyko Wing I was telling you about. It still needs a Wiimote - it's got a wireless transceiver that plugs into a Wiimote extension port (where you'd plug a nunchuck into). So it's technically wireless but you still need a Wiimote handy to use it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
Man! lol

There's a PS3 Turbo Fire Bluetooth Controller

"Wireless Bluetooth CommunicationUnlike most 3rd party PS3 controllers, TurboFire doesn't require any performance sapping wireless adapters or converters"

second item

http://www.google.com/products?hl=e...esult_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CCsQrQQwAg

or is the problem that PS3 controllers just aren't supported?

This one seems good? Datel seems good but like you say hard to find..
[EVO 4G Accessories] lion2:
The gamepad is more comfortable than it looks. But, there is a tiny bit of lag when pressing the button to when actually seeing an onscreen action. It works great with RPG's, but takes getting used to with faster paced games. I only played with the Gameboy Advance emulator so far.

I did buy the PSX emulator but havent had the time to play any PSX games on it yet. I also did a hard reset on my phone after installing FROYO so I have to reinstall the gamepad drivers. I'll have more time this weekend to play around with the gamepad, so I'll give you a better update. I'll also post some vids.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
No dice. PS3 controllers don't work [yet, if ever]. The developer of the Wiimote Controller app recently got a PS3 controller to try to develop compatibility for it but the last I heard he said it was a completely different animal and would not be so easy to do. I wouldn't hold my breath.

If you can't tell I've been in your shoes :)

Cool, thanks for the info. Sounds like I'd still probably rather stick with a Wiimote just for playability/flexibility. I like the compactness of yours though... and yours would be a great fit for FF7, etc with the PSX emu.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
MEH!!!! :)

So basically the options are as you originally stated. Thanks for being patient with me going through the same thing you went through lol.

That's good news he's working on it, bad news it's hard. A ps3 controller, xbox 360 controller, a dreamcast controller, sega genesis, snes, ANYTHING but a wiimote would have been better :( can't believe they only put two buttons on the thing. Oh well! Time to search for cheap wiimotes lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
Yep. On the other hand the Wiimote is actually the best option for an original NES/Gameboy emu, if that's what you're after. Plus you can get a hacked original NES controller accessory for the Wiimote on eBay if you REALLY want the authentic retro thing :)

Personally I think the best options are:

NES / Gameboy: Wiimote only

SNES / Sega plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller

PSX plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller Pro

Or, if you can find it/are willing to splurge, the Datel Retro Wireless for everything.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
yeah, I pretty much play SNES games, best system ever made IMO. Perfect blend of playable but not obstructive graphics + good gameplay

Thanks for your help I think I'm going to get the Wiimote + Classic Controller like you say.

Just because I'm retarded, can you click this and see if it looks right?

Classic Pro

Wii Controller

[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
You got it! Looks good to me. FYI that's the Classic Controller PRO that has extra R/L buttons - it's actually better since it will work good on PSX emu's too, but if all you're going to play is the SNES emu then you really just need the Classic Controller (non Pro). But both will work. I would get the Pro just in case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
Cool Thanks!!!

Yeah I am going to get the pro, for when you can run Xbox 360 on Android and play Halo on xbox live ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
Ha, that would rock :)

Though I have heard of people tethering their Xbox Live on their phone, so that's sorta close? :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
I actually do that! lol it's not nearly as bad as one might think - only lags when I get a text message ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] cloud858rk:
The Classic Controller Pro doesn't have any more buttons than the Classic Controller. They just moved two of the shoulder buttons.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SantinoInc:
Lion,

So this particular controller doesn't need root? That is exactly what I'm looking for!

Is the installation complicated? Can you advise on what's the cheapest place to purchase it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] timtlm:
OOS but it looks like a classic controller does exist without needing the wiimote.

http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wir..._9?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1280854200&sr=8-9

Also, the wii controller app is compatible with the nunchuck. So, you can go that route as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evilDood:
Has anyone tried any Bluetooth controller love with the official froyo update?
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
That's the Datel Retro Wireless I mentioned at the beginning.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprocket87:
Yeah, I guess that's true technically, but the location of those buttons on the original Classic Controller makes them basically unusuable for important gameplay buttons (like a PSX game that requeres R/L 1 and 2 heavily)

Plus it has the better hand grip :D

I tried doing a little research, I want to remove the stock Gallery.apk on Froyo and replace it with the 3d Gallery. Could I simply rename "3d gallery" to "Gallery" load the renamed.apk and hope it replaces the stock .apk. I installed 3d Gallery but when sending mms messages it only shows the stock gallery and not 3d gallery. I want it to only have the 3d Gallery listed. Wondering if its a "Sense" thing, why i think overwriting the stock.apk would work.

I also looked in all the roms system/app for the stock Gallery.apk incase i mess something up and need to load the stock back, but im unable to find it. Anyone done this ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsucoug09:
i dont have froyo but in previous ROM's i always removed the stock htc gallery and used the 3d. it was named something like HtcAlbum.apk or something close. i am downloading froyo now and i will look also.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cds36:
Ahh i see HTCAlbum.apk and HTCAlbum.odex that must be it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cds36:

As of now I have used 5 different 2.2 based ROMs. Cyan, Ava, OMJ, Stock and BakedSnack. With every single one I have found that my Awake time is the same as my Up time and it is causing quite a bit of drain on the battery. Checking the battery history shows Android system as the biggest user of partial wake time which was always normal in 2.1. Anyone have an idea as to why my EVO wont sleep with 2.2?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
Using BakedSnack and don't have this issue. I'd start with the usual battery saving tips. Turning stuff off and whatnot. if it's in the ROM, run PowerTop from the adb shell after putting your phone in sleep mode to see what's keeping it awake.

You can also use the *#*#4636#*#* to get a better view of what's keeping your phone awake.

[Captivate General] dvanbuskirk:
Hello,

I have this generic horizontal case that I grabbed at a local Best Buy store. I can't find it online to link to it, but the case has 2 rather strong magnets on the flap that when closed are right smack in the middle of the battery.

When the phone is in the case, within minutes, the phone gets relatively hot. If I remove it from the case, it cools of in a matter of minutes and never gets hot while out of the case.

I'm pretty sure the on/off switch is not being pressed while in the case, its recessed a bit in the case.

I'm wondering if those magnets are what's causing the phone to get much hotter while in the case.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] ratflinger:
I'd bet the magnets are causing the phone to go into dock mode. I have the Body Glove case that AT&T sells & there is no warmth from my phone when in locked & in standby.
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
Dunno about dock mode, but magnetism and electricity are part of the same force ... electromagenetism. Those magnets should not be strong enough to cause any ill effects, but anything is possible. May be that one of them is over an electronic component (perhaps a transistor) and is just strong enough to cause it to "lock" in the wrong position. Perhaps docking mode ... I don't know why that would cause so much heat ... but if it locked the radio into full power transmit mode this would certainly account for the heat as the expended electricity from the battery would become RF energy and heat.

.... just theory

maybe you could wrap your phone in a towel or other such sort of insulator and see if the heat problem is still there, or open the stiching on the case and reposition the magnets, or remove them entirely and sew some velcro in their place.

Good Luck!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomatenjungee:
Hey guys,

i have a strange issue with Mobile Navigator and froyo:

Mobile Navigator gets the clock wrong. Its always one hour backward.

I noticed that cause it calculated the arrival time for many routes exactly one hour different than for example google maps. Also i drove and the time in the noticationbar was past than the arrival time when there were like 60miles to go.

For exmaple Sygic Mobile Maps 10 works fine and calculates a right arrival time (so it must get the clocktime right) ... i experienced something similar with BeautifulWidgets and ToogleWidgets - they dont get the time at all and just freeze the clock. FancyWidgets then worked for me.

One may think of sommer/wintertime as a cause for the "one hour delay of MobilNav" ... but why is then the Clocktime in the Notificationbar right and why does it work with SygicMaps ... there is no setting for clock in MobilNav ... addionatly its strange that some widgets dont get the clocktime at all from froyo.

Is there some issue with apps dont get the clock time right from froyo?

I flashed nearly every froyo rom from Stock RC1, RC2 to the other mods. I wiped in fastboot erase system -w. Cleared cache, Dalvik .... I use the mtd paritions. Cleared battery, rotate settings. You see my radio and SPL in the sig.

Thanks for telling me it you got similar experiences :o

Is this a known issue? I never read of that in the rom thead, pls help if i skipped reading something.

[HTC Aria General] Aphox:
Does anyone know how to sync Winamp or iTunes playlists directly into to stock player?

My music collection is highly organized so I need my playlists and I like being able to navigate my music from the lockscreen.

I've seen a couple suggestions like doubletwist or itunes agent to get my music onto my Aria but I have yet to find a way to get my playlists straight into the native music player.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

i don't know if the default music player has syncing capabilities.

i would check out doubletwist player. i know that program can sync with itunes pretty well.

why are you wanting to use just the stock music player? doubletwist is a free download and a much more full-featured app. i would highly recommend it.

you might have to download it from the market (I did in cm6 by going to: Settings > Voice input & output > Text-to-speech settings > Install voice data). you also might need to check off "Always use my settings" also. Even with British English selected, distances are Imperial (feet/yards/miles) not Metric.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulieb81:
Yes you can change the voice for the navigation, it is a standardized voice for the whole phone. There just are not many alternate voice options yet to do so. The market only has two voices that I found, one is free and very bad, the other is a paid for one, I think the voice was called 'Susan' but I did not try that one.

First of all...good job XDA for the auto search function when trying to start a new thread! LoL!

I noticed that the voice for Google Nav is so much better and more natural prior to installing the speech synthesis package. I wonder why they didn't use that? I nearly thought it was the 'new' voice with the new Maps update. Got all excited for nothing after downloading the speech pack! :mad: :D

Obviously, it only gives you general directions and doesn't say the names of the streets.

Hi everybody, I am starting this thread to discuss the probability of the x10 displaying 16.7m colors. I see there is a lot of confusion as a lot of people say it supports it and a lot say that it doesn't, especially after a member in another thread who has a test version of Android 2.1 has said that there is no color improvement. I wanted to see what everyone knows and if we can figure it out. So please go ahead and share what you know. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
SE claims to have it already.

If you can tell the differences between 16 millions against 65k colours, your eyes must be godly.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
In that case I have godly eyes, there's fairly distinct banding going on with some images. Gradients tend to look crap on 65K when compared to 16M.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
sorry my eye is bad, i can't see the colour differences in normal photo until you see a 1 single color pair right beside another and fading out.

I am not sure about it

Anyway, most images you see on the internet are 16bits.

You can't compare 32 bits with a picture paint on 16 bits. Of course, you won't notice the differences.

I personally drew a CG and placed as my wall paper. When i take it up to my LCD screen to compare there is no differences when i am running 32 bits because i drew it in 16 bits.

I doubt anyone draw stuff on 32 bits, it is a pain at least in photoshop.

You might have to compare it with picture taken as 32 bits vs 16 bits to see it on the 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Can i ask where you found that information from? I mean where did SE claim that? Ill be interested to see that because another member posted a blog where SE manager said it supported only 65k.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Most images aren't CG, atleast not in my experience. There's a new fad that's been going around the world for a few years. It's called photography and they say it gives even better pictures than computer generated graphics. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
when i said taken, that's what i mean. Take real picture compare to real picture might show the differences. But if you going to compare the little graphic buttons to another button you won't find anything.

@wrongfeifong Can u please point me where SE claimed that the screen is 16m?
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
They didn't! The screen is supposedly 16M colors, but surpressed by the 1.6 to 65K. That was said long time ago by a reviewer of the phone.

Then it bacame a rumor on every site, and then everybody began to believe it. The truth is out there...somewhere...

Yes youre right we will know when 2.1 comes but i wanted to see what everyone knows. like is there a program that you can run on the screen and it will give you info, I am not familiar with that kind of stuff that's why i am asking people to share what they know.
