Its possible... but often more work than it is worth

Exactly. The hours put in to "porting" these apps to windows mobile is often close to the work it would take to make the game from scratch. So if you are not familiar with coding, disassembling code is far outside your scope. However, when finished, these games have more of an original feel, but often work less effective. This is due to the translation of using mouse clicks to touch input. Games such as diablo rely heavily on having two mice buttons to click. A total remake would be less like the original but might compensate for the new control scheme.

Both ways are possible, but they are both also complicated and involve a great deal of work. Not to mention how unhappy blizzard is with people using their artwork, even if the game is absolutely free.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dnajun_Tnuieh:
Sorry but, none of you are really being helpful..

I do not expect this to be easy. I am expecting it to be a long process, and telling me something that I already know over and over doesn't help me get started. I've already said that I expect to probably have to rebuild these from ground up..

I know what is ahead of me and want to do this stuff, other wise I wouldn't be asking.

So if anyone knows the process or at least where I could get started. Please let me know. Otherwise I'll just start with Java then C# until I find my own way into doing this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zyphuris55:
From personal experience of porting a game ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717274 ), it will take awhile. Here is the process I used when making the game:

1) Collect image resources if any are possible to be used.

2) Research what kind of engines to use. I made the mistake of trying to use the basic image function in C#.net, which was a waste of time. Then I switched to GDI+ and haven't had any problems since.

3) Make a list of things you want to do on the program. From the required things to the extra fancy features. Sounds are extra features.

4) Prototype A LOT. Find what you want to accomplish, break its parts down into basic actions, then prototype of how to do that action.

As a language to start with, I personally recommend C#.net because its easy to use. It doesn't have the speed of C++, but it does have the #region/ #endregion functions which have helped me ENORMOUSLY with writing code. The region code can be minimized. With 2000+ lines of code per class and about 20 classes, minimizing code makes moving around easier.

Check the XDA boards or search online if your lost. If you need more help on porting code or making functions to do specific actions, message me and I'll gladly help.

Hello guys,

Ive just installed Fring as I am hoping to be able to get the video phone working.

Has anyone had success?

Can to SGS users WITHOUT fring video call one another? Any one done that?

Tx

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Does your network plan support video call?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Network plan?

I assumed it was a DATA video call, ala skype or iphone's facetime, which are purely data transfers...

Surely the video call on SGS is not the (now completely out dated) traditional video phone call that was so unpopular years ago... so unpopular that mobile phone companies removed their front facing cameras?

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
You'll use fring, but fring does not work on the .GS right now. They are working on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Hi

Yep, I see the fring guys are working on it

http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16838&page=4

It would be good if skype did something directly for android... and then there is that alpha version of adobe I saw on engadget a month or so ago.

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
Good question from the OP.

I also would like to know how and what I can do video calls to (without fring) .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] salmanslick:
i have used fring on sgs, to make video calls and it works with data plan or wifi. fring to fring users can make calls between each other , skype support has been taken out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Skype with video support is coming out for Android in the fall. If all you want is audio you can find an APK by googling around.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
I really hope so, I'd prefer to use Skype than Fring, contacts-wise and also I was very unimpressed by Fring connectivity in the past and even less so by their handling of their "bandwidth issue" with Skype.

A few people have 2.1 but only because they either work for SE or are Developers. Only a few weeks left till everyone will get the update.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Izzy_Deadyet:
I found that both SipDroid and 3CX Phone for Android both play the calls through the speaker and not the earpiece. Also, neither will play through the Bluetooth earpiece. I'm gussing this is a problem with the X10 since I have other friends using both without a problem on different phones.

Anyone have a work-around for this or a SIP program that does work on the X10?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cesierra:
The workaround for me is to set sipdroid in speakerphone mode, this gets the audio routed to my bt headset, but I need to use the phone mic. This is the best I can do now, until my phone, a Samsung Captivate gets updated to Android 2.2.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i feel sorry for all the suckers who installed the ota 2.2 upgrade on their evo's. also any replacement or new phones that come from sprint have 2.2 on them so they cannot root at all.

im wondering how many came back to the hero for the time being? :D
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
yeah... i bet they're going "damn im throwing away a fully functional, faster, flash enabled device for the hero until i can root again!"

:p
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
ive actually seen several users on ppcgeeks go back to the tp2 & hero for now. they need the tether.

i cannot begin to tell you how many customers ive had want their ota 2.2 rooted and when i tell them i cannot they get pissed and a few even put them up for sale. :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
yeah, my brother dwizzy130 just got his EVO last night. Came w/ 2.2 already on it. Not too worried though, root will come soon
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
hopefully, yes.
[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I'm confident that they will have a root soon... but I would NEVER install on OTA update on a rooted phone! :D
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
u dont need root to tether
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Just $30 a month
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:

[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
if you want it for free you do. that's what 99% of the users want anyways. i cannot begin to tell you how many phones ive rooted over the summer for my customers just to tether for free. screw that $30 charge.

[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phaded:
I did a search and couldn't find the exact info i was looking for. I possibly didn't put in the right search terms...

Anyways, with App2SD I noticed how it creates the hidden androidsecure folder to store the app data. Now my question is:

When flashing to different Froyo roms and having to do full wipes, when I boot up first time and it pulls all my apps from the market as it syncs, does it put those apps back to that SD card? And if not, when I move them back to the SD card, does it overwrite that apps existing information or does it add a 2nd data storage file? I just want to know if when I'm doing full wipes if I should delete the app data off my SD card before it boots up a first time.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
I hope someone here can help me since i am so desperate after searching many forums, anyway i'll try summarize it as much as i can :

- my desktop twitter log in working.

- my x10 browser log in working.

- x10 opera mini log in working.

- desktop applications like tweetdeck and cotweet which require authorization working too..

- any twitter application for android isn't working, Twiteroid, etc even timescape tells me invalid account information,

Twiteroid tells my it can't authorize the account ( and its not the one hour problem that happens due to wrong password )

- i've tried revoking all access from all program but again no use..

Any ideas ?

there are loads of twitter apps out there for android

SWIFT

TWIDROID

TWITPRO

SEESMIC

TWICCA

and my personal favorite TWEETCASTER :)

check your user name and password again when entering it ...sometimes when using swype or slide it you can accidentally rely on it too much for accuracy and it will add in a word you previously entered incorrectly!

I have also noticed with passwords and emails if you have AUTO word space set up in SWYPE you can end up with a space where you do not need it and not see this glitch until it rejects your userame/password!

edit additional If your using a Googlemail or Gmail acct for your email then try re registering with a different email address sometimes GOOGLE mail account can cause headaches and not allow access to some stuff ... the android market being one will not accept an @gmail acct and needs you to use an @googlemail this is due to them offering the googlemail to gmail switch a month or so back! :(

TWIDROID, SEESMIC, TWICCA all not working

i tried log in with the username and not the Email and still no use..

it just keeps me going crazy.. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
There was a similar thread that I responded to on SE's own forum. I gave all the normal suggestions but none worked. In the end the lady concerned said she had to restart (?) her whole phone and lost her contacts so I think she did a factory restore on it. But that did solve the Twitter problem.

I think this is a problem that has occured in the last few days because I also noticed another couple of threads on there about the same thing. I asked the other poster to pay it forward and give a description of exactly what she did to resolve it. Sadly at this point she hasn't done so.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Hey suzed,

I sure remember your name from the se forum, you have like million post there :-)

Anyway, i would like to make a factory reset my last resort since i am not rooted and dont want to, i wish i could solve this confusing problem, i even cant figure out if its twitter sided or mobile sided error, wait a min. I have an idea , Am gonna try another account and see where it goes...

before you resort to desperate measures... try going into settings/ applications/ manage applications/ timescape/ clear data.. and Then do the same for timescape plug in manager and timescape provider.. then do the same for any Twitter apps you have.

You'll need to set those up again, but it might just do the trick!

nope, still no hope, i can't believe it, i have to do a full wipe for twitter .. lame ..

On the other hand, I did have the Captivate before I made the switch to vzw and I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing I really didn't like is that the phone just kind of felt cheap and scuffed easily. But in terms of performance, it was right there with the X for the most part. That, and the screen is REALLY nice.

I have a body glove on mine and it's great. Tight fit, looks good, doesn't make the phone too big, feels strong enough to protect it well. Definitely worth the $25.

[Captivate Accessories] Rongvald:
My wife has the OEM gel case with the pink filigree and I have the Body Glove case ... the fit is very similar to the body glove case. Note that the power and volume buttons are covered (as opposed to the Body Glove case)

Hi:

How is your case holding up? I have the one with Pink, and after only a week and a half of using it, the black has rubbed off the corners, and now the pink is exposed. I have never even dropped it, and only use it inside my purse or pocket.

I wonder if I just got a defective one.

Thanks!
[Captivate Accessories] Rongvald:
The same is happening here - I was considering emailing Samsung to complain, but kept forgetting.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll let you know what Samsung support has to say about it. If you contact them and hear back, I'd be interested to know what they tell you too :)
[Captivate Accessories] Rongvald:
Quick update - after waiting 2 days for an email response from Samsung support, I called. Since I'm outside of the 30 day return period, they will be RMA'ing my wife's gel.

I imagine that the new one they send me won't perform much differently - but I've got a fortte case on order to replace it when that starts wearing too :rolleyes:

Cheers,

[Captivate Accessories] cincy1020:
Well, I got a reply after 2 days saying I had to call. I haven't bothered to, since I bought mine on Ebay (new in Samsung packaging), I doubt they'll do anything for me.

Hope you have better luck with the new one.
[Captivate Accessories] Rongvald:
You might have a chance if you deal with their warranty center (since you can provide a record of when you purchased it on ebay). It does carry a 90-day warranty ... so it's probably worthwhile to call and check. The worst that will happen is that they'll tell you they won't honor the warranty.
