So far so good. This is the smoothest browser I've used so far. This includes using xScope, Dolphin HD, Skyfire, Miren, and the default browser. The pinch zooming is buttery smooth. The way it handles open tabs is very nice.

More importantly for me, the text reflow works a LOT better than what I've seen in other browsers.

I'm going to keep testing it for the next few days. Already set it to be my default browser.

I'm using it on my Vibrant, so memory is not an issue. I'll see if I run into problems with the amount of ram it consumes.
[Android Apps and Games] pack21:
New Update give a really improvement on previous version.

I would like to saw a magnificent text selection add on it.

go forward Opera!
[Android Apps and Games] sirtrancealot:
I think I still prefer the stock browser, seems to display text more clearly, and 24mb is wayyy to much system memory to be chewing for something that's only just as good as the stock browser.
[Android Apps and Games] rajasyaitan:
Good compared to Mini. Needs to cut down the size though.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
im using android on my hd2. memory is definitely not an issue for me XD
[Android Apps and Games] 911jason:
How'd you do it?
[Android Apps and Games] jsmith8858:
I think the browser is quite nice, very fast and overall works pretty well. I like being able to go "full screen" and hide the task bar, especially in landscape mode. I find the scrolling and zooming to be very smooth.

One issue I have: In Android 2.1, once opera mobile is installed, any time I use the default browser, it keeps prompting me to set defaults for every link I click, and never rememebrs the setting even if I tell it to. Anyone else have this issue? I tried clearing defaults, checking off "remember this setting", and so on, but no matter what, it never remembers that I want to use the stock browser for clicking links.

One last tip for those new to opera: Typing "opera:config" in the address bar gives you tons of options you can tweak, most of the useful ones under "User Prefs".
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I'm currently at 26M internal storage, I was down to 12 with this. Looks like to make it fit the system did a bunch of cache clearing, and the install overall was 21M.

Gotta say no until this goes way down.
[Android Apps and Games] chareos12:
This browser is nice and fast, but I really can't stand it's default opening mobile version of sites. Even toying around with User Agent doesn't give me a default desktop-version sites view !
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
There are extremely many options when u go to the URL "opera:config"

maybe u find something there to disable all mobile sites
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I was curious as to how many are using their Evo as a gaming device as well as its other uses. I started off playing some of the simple arcade and puzzle style games but I have recently been playing a couple of fps games from gameloft and I realize that there is a lot of potential for the evo if the developers will continue with it.
[EVO 4G General] casual864:
I'm playing home run battle 3d and a couple of other games.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I have been playing quite a bit of old NES games with nesoid.
[EVO 4G General] Dees_Troy:
CM6 + wiimote + wii steering wheel + gps dash mount + dremel + gorilla glue = emulator fun. I have been mostly playing old SNES games, but I have a 40 minute bus ride to & from work so I have to kill the time somehow.
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
Until I saw the demo for NOVA and Sandstorm I never realized that 3d gaming had come so far for android. Those are the 2 main games that I am playing right now.
[EVO 4G General] method115:
It's perfect for RPG's which is my favorite type of games. Play final fantasy tactics as we speak. I never owned a ps1 myself so theres a lot of rpg games for me to play.
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Am I the only who likes Meteor Blitz? It's just about my favorite handheld game of all time! Like a Geometry Wars mobile.

PSXDroid is pretty nice. I continually encounter graphical glitches though, which is utterly annoying.

SandStorm is neat, Nova is a fun FPS as well. Pretty much most of Gamelofts releases are enjoyable. Well, minus Assassin's Creed.

There's a guy working on Starcraft for Android, but I think the projects gone dead in the water.

Finally, Quake III on Android. Or, Kwaak3

Also, this may not be the best place to post anything about iOS, because I know quick people can be to hate on the iPhone. But Steve Jobs aside, who else is impressed by Epic Game's Infinity Blade and Mutant Bash TV by Id running on the Rage iOS engine?

I'm totally floored by it to be honest. Had no idea a 1GHz processor with 512MB RAM could achieve graphics on this level.

It's only a matter of time before a company creates an engine like this for Android Devices. Development is either already in the works or right around the corner.

*Cough* PSP Phone *Cough*

The prospects are incredible! The only thing that bugs me is that I use to play my old GameBoys till the battery died when I was out and about. It will just really suck if I do the same with my EVO. That would put my day dead in the water if I didn't have a back up battery or wall outlet near by....
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I am waiting patiently for oooecao to release their games!
[EVO 4G General] cheyne1:
I second that, I'm playing nova as well and it runs smooth with no hiccups.
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Elaborate, :P

Google search = Nothing

I'm curious.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Those iOS games are insane, I can't wait till we have them on Android. Epic has already demoed their Unreal Engine on Android so we will definitely have some sick games coming soon.

BTW, what ROM/theme are you running in the pic in your sig?
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
I know, they just need to come out with a decent controller for handheld devices. I almost want to go out and pick up a WiiMote just for my EVO. I have a PS3 controller but I've read that it will probably never happen because of technicalities with bluetooth between the two. I use my PS3 Controller to play Halo on my Netbook, so much fun! Makes airplane flights a breeze.

Just put a vice grip on a pad with a few buttons and put on a MicroUSB connector with an input on the pad for charging and call it done.

I keep reading about people whom have tested some of these Rage iOS games complaining that the controls blow. Especially Mutant Bash TV, it's tilt shift. I mean REALLY!? I tend to get p'd off at DoodleJump, let alone an FPS.

Stock ROM, unREVOked. Theme is custom.
[EVO 4G General] razorseal:
Better off with a epic, you got the keyboard for controls and better GPU.

which is my problem... I don't use my phone for gaming, so it has no use for me lol
[EVO 4G General] lacrossev:
Lol, 4 of my friends recently jumped on to the Epic from TP2's (we all get the same phones, its kinda wierd) But i have an Evo. I play games on mine and its pretty good, but i tell them that games play better on the Epic due to the GPU/CPU and none of them play games, haha.
[EVO 4G General] ryanalan82:
I got the usual great android games on plus, snesoid,nesoid,gensoid, psx4droid. The emulators are much better when rooted with a kernel that allows for better multi touch,(I'm currently on kings bfs11). I have hundreds games just between the emulators. I would consider psx4droid unplayable unless u had such a kernel. The biggest problem with playing the games is the lack of better multi touch, and thats y I will never b unrooted again.

Swyped from my Evo
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
they need to change up the controllers. Instead of using the forward, back, left, right motions on the screen, use the gyroscope to do those, and then in the left hand have the movement of the gun, and in the right hand, have the shooting or w/e.
[EVO 4G General] k4p741nkrunch:
Has anyone here tried Heavy Gunner?

I've been on a real gaming spree ever since I got the Evo!

Super K.O Boxing is really nice

SpeedX 3D is my favorite!

N.O.V.A was a b*t*h to get working, but it's by far the most graphically intense game.

Caligo Chaser is alright if you like more cartoony RPGs. The best part of the game is that when you adjust your gear it visually reflects on the character, lots of choices too!

Fruit Ninja is a fun, friendly style, potentially competitive style game :P

I just tried Meteor Blitz, thanks for the recommendation! I do wish the movement controls were less sensitive however.

Android is a fantastic platform for gaming, unfortunately it's not the only one and developers are limited :P
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I tried a couple of the emulators but the game rom's I downloaded showed the game on a tiny screen and the controls did not work well at all. I guess I need to try some different games roms. Sandstorm is as graphically intensive as NOVA if not more so. I tried Avatar but the gameplay was a little confusing for me at times. Bottom line is that android is a great gaming platform and the Evo is a good hard device for gaming. I have a kindle and a zuneHD and was getting ready to get a psp. Now the Evo is truly an all in one device for me. It will do what all of those will do. Sure it uses a lot of battery but I would rather switch batteries during the day than to cary 3 or 4 devices and chargers when I travel.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
MMORPG: Pocket Legends. That thang was just released today.
[EVO 4G General] wickerstick:
?

so why is it so hard to get Need for speed shift? why not in the market? why are there no good games in the market? on my old iphone i played many awesome games like nfsshift, street fighter 4, fifa soccer, chaos rings most of all Grand theft Auto chinatown wars. when i look in the market, there a bunch of crappy games, i mean common no words with friends or scrabble or bejeweled? my opinion, get a 64 gb ipod touch, you get your games and great music integration with itunes, plus 32gb extra possible storage. and its thin. i love my evo but no-matter what mods i do to it its not good at graphic intensive stuff, i cant even run the ocean waves wallpaper without it choppin like Jackie chan.

p.s. also looked for pocket legends, nothing in market for that either
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I am not sure why some of the developers don't put their games in the market. I don't if it is a preference or something to do with google but there are some good games out there.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
A lot of the emulators already do this. I play sonic like that about once a week.
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
I thought I would give gaming on the Evo a try. Since I hated it on the Hero, I didn't have much faith that it would be acceptable. So, I downloaded Gensoid Lite and a ROM for the only Genesis game I still have in my possession: Shadowrun. I've always loved that game and don't know why. It's really not that great. I just love randomly hacking in that game.

Anyway, after installing, I found that, although it's a bit tough to control sometimes, it's acceptable. It could be my clunky, hammer thumbs, though. All in all, it's smooth, responsive and an all-around fun experience.

I've also played Angry Birds (got bored with it quickly), Archipelago (fun for a while, but got frustrating and old), RoboDefense (Awesome, but too repetitive) and, lately, Pocket Legends (World of Warcraft lite in your pocket).

The only downside to gaming that I've found: you better have spare batteries... charged and on hand.
[EVO 4G General] jchilders04:
Can someone aware me on what nova is? Market search > nova > NOVA > n.o.v.a > comes up with nothign like described so far.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Not in the market.

[EVO 4G General] jchilders04:
Anyone want want to post the apk's for NOVA and sandstorm? I got them both installed, updated, files downloaded, and then they wont open. Click to open, nothing happens, at all.

APK's or advice?
[EVO 4G General] jeiyuu:
As both are gameloft games, you need to make sure the you install the appropriate sd files and store them in the correct directory or it will not boot. (this does not apply and will be done automatically if you purhased the game from gameloft.)

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] jchilders04:
Got it figured out, thanks!
[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
Yes, I have several games that I play on my EVO, but it for when I'm wasting time or waiting. Do I use it strictly as a gaming device? No, I do not.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I put together a video with about 10 to 12 games that I have and meshes it all together wig some music. You tube muted my audio because of copyright stuff so I posted on my face book.

The video isn't ment to do anything but to show dolls who don't know about gaming on the evo or phones in general. Also it was he first video editing experience for me. You all would laugh if I mentioned how much time I put into it.

I'll be back with a link.

[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
That video is a good overview of both the gaming capabilities of the Evo and of some of the good game developement that is out there. Great job.
[HD2 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
Hi there, haven't heard from me for awhile. I was pretty busy, but now I'm still trying to get my phone to work right. So.. I still haven't found a solution to this screen behavior. When I type on keyboard or just select something in menu, it sometimes doesn't react to it. I have tried and sent it to the warranty repair but the did nothing but "calibrate" the screen and install new firmware (this was 6 months ago). So I'm wondering if there has been any new fix or something, to fix this? Or should I try and get the screen replaced once again under warranty? But they were pretty confident that the problem is not in the screen and it just has to be that way:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
There's a touchscreen fix cab out there that seems to help with some of the HD2's I manage though I have to say there are people, (my CEO being one of them), that are like a dead fish... I do something and ask them to repeat it themselves and the screen simply doesn't react but once in three tries. It's odd... My CEO finally rejected the phone, I took it over and it has been flawless for three moths or more... Yet I watched her try and try again to carry out the simplest of tasks...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] OtisFeelgood:
Toastcfh brought to our(#HTC-EVO on freenode) attention this cool oldschool Doom Live Wallpaper. The wallpaper was created by jgittins and the original thread can be found HERE. Hopefully, we'll see more live wallpapers based on oldschool games(like Zelda from the NES). :D

[Venue Pro General] leepenguin:
Thanks!

Can u slide out the keyborad to answer phone calls?
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
...why would you want to have the keyboard slide out when you are talking to someone. The phone is big enough.
[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
He probably wants a 'physical' action to answer calls with. Unlike many other phones, there are no buttons for pick up/hang up, so if you're unable to use the touchscreen for some reason (e.g. wearing gloves), another way of answering the call would be useful.
[Venue Pro General] leepenguin:
Exactly, Thanks for the explaination.

[Touch HD General] eurotuner123:
so I have done some research and found nothing on this topic. I may be going on a limb here but I really would like to know if it is at all possible to swap out a CPU from our touch HD phones with another one? not shooting too high for something like a snapdragon, but something a bit faster maybe?!?!?

I know it might sound crazy but its worth the inquiry. It might not even be possible at all, considering the processor might be imbedded into the motherboard.. I really dont know the inside of a smartphone and i would like to maybe clear up things in that area. I have taken apart and built complete laptops, and desktops, but have never thought of modding a smartphone.

What do you guys think? Im very interested in these responses.
[Touch HD General] randolph2000:
its not possible for the processor is soldered in the board and just in case you happen to remove it it might burn the board or just in case you successfully removed it, what processor would you like to put and is it supported by the blackstone board?
[Touch HD General] eurotuner123:
well it was just a thought to get some more speed and to test the limits of modifying our phones. Maybe if it fit, I would swap out all together the processor and board from another faster qualcomm setup
[Touch HD General] retsam88:
Not physically possible.
[Touch HD General] motionz:
But you can always overclock your HD.

I have a semi bricked vibrant thats stuck on the vibrant splash screen

This phone seems to be semi hardware locked

I could access recovery and download mode a few weeks ago but then my USB port slowly stopped working (it would only charge plugged into the wall or computer)

I'm seeing if anyone has any ideas how to fix the usb port or force recovery/download mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
You're post makes no sense.

If you can charge it on the computer, use adb/odin. If it's your computer USB port, use another one.

~SB
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenotoriouspie:

They used to work but suddendly stopped working

I can still reset the phone with the hardware buttons for some reason.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
Hmm....will it charge the phone? If not then it's most likely a warranty issue for Samsung. If it does, then it "should" be able to be recognized by a computer. Have you used Odin before? Its a program that installs on your computer (PC only) and flashes ROM's to it. Where to download it and directions to use it are in the Vibrant Directory "Bible". 1st thread in Dev section.

Hope this helps a bit,

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help.

I rooted the phone using unrevoked and now have clockworkmod recovery on the phone. Tonight I tried to connect the phone to the android SDK with no success.

Windows device manager only shows it as an Android Phone. Everytime I try to manually install the SDK usb drivers, it comes up with a message saying drivers aren't available. I have deleted and reinstalled the SDK usb drivers and have also deleted the android phone from the device manager as well as USBDView. Have had no success whatsoever.

How can I get ADB commands working again on the phone?
