Just wait 5minutes, I'll post the original here.

edit:

Okay you can download the original (January 18/v1.0.8) apk from this site:

http://www.getjar.com/mobile/53364/kongregate-arcade-for-samsung-gt-i9000-galaxy-s/?s=phones

It is completely free, and this is the version that got banned from the Android Market.

Google say it is like an AppStore within the Android Market and I agree, but it is an awesomely free one with great titles!

And I still stand behind my reasoning that this "App" or "AppStore" wasn't threatening/damaging the Market in any way ... infact it was doing the exact opposite by bringing more titles to the Android platform (and enticing iOS/WP7 customers).

Why this older version is better than the new one (on the Android Market) is because it has the "offline mode". It automatically downloaded the flash games to your internal/SD card ... thus you don't need to constantly waste your time, money and internet allowance on re-downloading it again and again.

The new one sucks because it has no "offline mode" instead it tries to save the games to your browsers cache. I've noticed from experience once you have about a dozen or more games cached, the performance of the Android browser becomes slower. In fact, it pretty much overloaded mine, and the froyo system "fixed" the problem by clearing it automatically; making me lose my previous data and the games. I also think by exhausting the cache, this might cause faster battery drain from your device.

Here's a quick note, try to run as few Apps as possible when trying to play these flash games. This thing will cripple older/slower devices, and will give newer ones a lot of stress. If you do not close all the Apps, that's fine it might run a little slower, but make sure you definitely close down any internet browsers or Apps that use/stress the Flash 10.1 resources. Also, you can control which directory the games will be downloaded to (either to internal or to SDcard), so choose depending on your personal space needs. (I'm using a Galaxy S I9000 with stock froyo)

If you download from another source and want to test if its the original (superior) version, you can do so by:

Downloading/Opening/Playing any game (eg Ink Ball). Then exited the app and disable any internet connections (switch on Flight mode). Re-open the App. Try playing the same game (eg Ink Ball) ... if it enters/resumes (congrats you have the original version) otherwise it will come with a note about getting an internet connection.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SqrrlMstr:
Go GameStop for making this available again!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hilarium:
does this older(original) version still gets updates? like new flash games and etc?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kangal:
When I first installed it (after it was removed from Market), there was around ~320 games available.

I've checked today, and there is 338 games available.

So yes, and I hope they will keep it that way :)

[General Questions and Answers] Khiven:
Hello, I had the Unknown reason -18 error from Android Market. I read that one possible fix was to delete the .android_secure folder. I did that but I backed it up to my laptop.

After that I realised that this removed all my apps from my SD so I moved the backup to the sd back in order to restore all apps. But then the problem started. Now I'm supposed to have all the files exactly same as before but, for some reason my phone get stucked when I have to enter the PIN. It does not respond at anything, I thought It was checking the SD files again but it has passed about 30 minutes and still the same. Tried to reboot ( i have to remove battery because the switch off button does not respond) and everytime I'm getting stucked when the SD card seems to be checking files.... What can I do to restore my phone like before? I know one fix is to completely delete .android_secure folder but I would have to reinstall all my sd apps, (thats about 90 apps!!) and probably I'd lost all app's data...

Than you for your help,

Cheers!

(My mobile device is a Nexus One)
[General Questions and Answers] Khiven:
Ok, I did a Windows Scandisk over my SD card and it fixed some problems, after that, the mobile did started and all my apps were recovered... What's more after removing the smdl2tmp1.asec file from .android_security folder solved the -18 problem issue.

Everything it's good now =)

Hi,

I want to use the dalvik debug monitor for my phone, but while the phone is NOT charging.

How can I do this since you have to be in USB debugging mode to use ddms... and USB = charge.

Thanks,

Everytime I save an image off google and try to set it as a backround ,it allways resizes to a zoomed in version of the wallpaper.

What do I need to do to correct this ?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] sacredsoul:
Try WallStreak. Do a search here. :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mellojoe:
when you save the image and try to set it as a background, do you get the little cropscreen box that lets you pick which portion of the image you want as your background?

If you click on the edge of that box, you can expand it to fill the whole image, and thus not have to crop the image at all.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] pika123:
Yes thats correct, but not for Streak with Froyo. I have the same problem. Independent on selected area the image is always zoomed.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ramtix:
get multipicture live wallpaper..you wont have to crop your wallpaper there.

Its a live wallpaper but you can use individual pictures as static wallpaper

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Hello all;

I have been using Windows Media Player to sync to the Captivate with limited results, regardless of which music player I have tried(stock, Poweramp, Winamp,Doubletwist, the Cube, etc.). I import a number of playlists by drag-and-drop to the sync pane, and all the files transfer, but the playlists do not appear anywhere. In short, has anyone found a player that will read Windows Playlist Files(WPL)?
[Streak 5 General] NineToTheSky:
I have a new Streak and I am on Froyo/2.2. The market worked fine on my old phone.

I can't download anything from the market place. I had this problem last year when I changed from googlemail to gmail. I returned to my googlemail address, since when I have not had that problem - until now.

I have read that you have to log in to Talk, which I have never had to do before. It won't log in to Talk, coming up with a message 'Google Talk authentication failed'.

I can access my google mail/contacts/calendar with no problems.

Anyone know the solution to this?
[Streak 5 General] ejalkema:
I don't have the answer but I'm having the same problem. Just flashed a new build of unstable aospGBmod02012011 on my hero. I think I'll try reflashing gapps to see if that works.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
Does anybody know why HTC decided to engineer a ~1300 mAh battery instead of a ~1500 mAh for the Desire Z?

I recall that my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, Nokia E90, and Nokia E72 both came with ~1500 mAh batteries that were almost exactly the same form factor and physical size. These phones were marketed and released at-least 6 months before the HTC Desire Z.

I might be wrong about this but I also recall that the HD2 and Touch Pro2 batteries were also ~1500 mAh batteries and the same sizes as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, Nokia E90, and Nokia E72 batteries. I am uncertain bout the two devices because I was not the long-term owner of the devices.

Time to think:

[1] I think we can rule out that HTC did not under-engineer the Desire Z battery because of the company's technological incompetence.

[2] Perhaps the designers and engineers were technologicaly capable of implementing a ~1500 mAh battery, but they were bad planners. And when bulk quantities were manufactured/purchased they realized that the battery coud have been bigger. But then it was too late.

[3] Perhaps the project was in a very limited budget, and the executives would not increase funding for it.

[4] Perhaps the firm had an inventory of unused ~1300 mAh batteries for other HTC devices and decided to market it with the Desire Z.

[5] Perhaps top management decided that the cheapest and most profitable decision woud be to sell the Desire Z with ~1300 mAh batteries. Perhaps costumer loyalty or incompetence allowed HTC to do this.

[6] Perhaps our Desire Z's actually have mislabeled ~1500 batteries. The misprint is ~1300 instead of ~1500. Maybe the recall and re-labeling of the batteries would hurt the company's reputation as a smartphone maker that makes no manufacturing mistakes.

[7] Perhaps designers and researchers thought that the product was too heavy too carry, and so they wanted to make a lighter device.

[8] Perhaps the Desire Z's internal hardware is not optimized for a ~1500 battery

What do you guys think? Why did HTC put a ~1300 battery instead of a ~1500 battery in the Desire Z ?

Take the poll, send me a response, and participate in the discussion.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
I'm actually using a T-Mobile G2.

No one is curious why HTC screwed us with the battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shadowofzeus:
I don't think its bad at all. Coming from the MyTouch3g which killed its battery within three to four hours of being unplugged. I can go much longer than that with the G2. I had a T-Mobile E73mode which is almost the same as E72 and yes it had amazing battery life, but remember Nokia are no where as powerful as G2. They are using processors a generation older, and in some cases a quarter of the ram. Symbian is several generations old which leads to amazing optimizations. Someday android will be as optimized. I do agree that they could have easily put a 1500mAh in our phones and things would have been better. HTC is notorious for skimping on the battery, but you know at least they update there phones regularly.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
Thanks for the insight. I also agree with you (although I have the E72, not the mode).

My E72 has a better keyboard, longer battery life, and the built-in ability to add birthdays to my contacts. But so far, the T-Mobile G2 stomps it in every other aspect.

Honestly Nokia is really good out of the box. It came with a built in flash light, and a really, really good notes app. As a new G2 user who wants these same features, all this is solved on my T-Mobile G2. I was able to download AK Notepad and Torch. I do, however, wish that these features already came with the Android OS.

I am considering buying a Mugen battery for the G2. But I need to sell my E72 to finance that purchase. I can't believe I forgot to add into the poll that: "HTC plan on selling extended capacity G2 batteries".

But I can't completely agree with what you say about software optimization. Although Symbian is optimized, it is optimized for old technology. If Nokia continues to develop on the Symbian platform, they are improving old technology and being restricted to creativity. If they do this, their touch screen smartphones will probably never have successful markets. Although Nokia has a lot of smartphone market share, it is losing it every year in all geographic markets.

But about creativity:

If Nokia starts Symbian^4 (not an official name) from scratch, than it will be easily optimized for new users and new technologies (basically improvements in introduced aspects of Symbian like better touch input for example).

If Nokia develops Symbian^4 based on a few decades worth of old technology, than it will be easily optimized for loyal users and old technologies (basically no innovation, just improvements in what already existed in Symbian).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shadowofzeus:
I think Nokia need to just kill Symbian and go straight MeeGo. Its the only way I can see them being competitive. That's the same problem that BlackBerry is having. Their software is to old and they just keep building on top of it, but BlackBerry is looking towards Qt which will help them greatly.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalahmady@gmail.com:
I recently got this as my first android phone. My friend convinced me to perma-root this phone and I did. I now have CyanogenMod 7. However, a few things are bothering me. My calender is not syncing up correctly for some reason, and my contacts book looks so much more dull without the facebook links and their statuses under their names, as it did with the original interface/operating system I was using (stock that was loaded with HTC stuff).

Are there any apps that compensate or do the same thing as that friend linker?

Thank you

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iugrina:
I've searched the web and I couldn't find any documentation about the DNS resolving in the android OS. Can somebody, please, point me to the documentation.

If not, could anyone explain which of the net*dns{1,2} properties is used to do actual resolving and what is the meaning of others.

Also, is there a way (without changing the code) to permanently change DNS servers so that they are not updated after 3g/2g reconnect (rmnet). If, in contrast, I need to change the code could somebody point me to the class/file/directory where I should do it.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I am sure everyone now realises how so many critical features are lacking from a phone. It was released 4 months back, but even after 2 long years of wait, it seems to be a 'pre-mature' release.

A 12 year old boy knows that silent mode, copy/paste and multitasking is like a basic thing, and now its almost 5 months since its release and their has been zero updates.

One thing I dont realise is, does it really took microsoft 2 long years to build WP7, what is built in it except the front screen?? All other features which should be in a phone are lacking. And all other interface has been ripped from Zune. So if it takes 2 years for a company to build the front screen of a brick phone with zero options, they should have just contracted SPB Software House Co. and they would have dont it in 6 months and not 2 years.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrAndrewAu:
The Windows Phone 7 team isn't that big actually. Besides, the iPhone idea began in 2005 and took 2 years to come to life.

Of course, I agree that the lack of update so far is disturbing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
They're basic things but not necessary things. My WP7 gets along much better than any iphone or android without those things but of course I dont use mine as a business device. As a media device it is second to none, I used android for 2 years and never once used c&p or put my phone on anything lower than vibrate. As for multi-tasking if apps were built the way they were supposed to be then they wouldn't need it. They have showed vodeos of how some apps were built to go back to the exact same point when hitting the back button. This is likely to keep it from running slow and becoming unresponsive. Sort of like android which is what I will always consider a "brick-phone."
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
So which is it? Four or five? Oh wait, it's actually three months and a day since it was launched.

[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:

How many more of these idiotic threads do we have to have??? Can the mods close this down? "All other features which should be in a phone are lacking", "a brick phone", how many arguments based upon false statements do we have to tolerate? After years in this forum and intelligent discussions with many members, some with opposite viewpoints, this forum has degenerated to this level? This is really sad and a sad day for this forum. Free speech, I understand, this level of speech I don't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
You can say somebody didn't use a search button and didn't post this in existing threads.

But at the same time when will you finally understand that the amount of THE SAME complaints is also a measure of a real WP7 reception among customers?

Better ask MS to push any update soon than moan about people who spend their cash and get disappointed by some MS logic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Hardly, as regular consumers don't frequent these forums. The views expressed on this website are so far from the way the average consumer feels it's like comparing apples and houses. The vast majority of consumers are perfectly happy with their WP7 devices as is, don't confuse a few thousand tech-geeks on some website with the average soccer mom down the block or her kid.

This is indeed some kind of racism.

In fact the truth is complely opposite.

As I work with very many people through the year, I can say I have my own personal survey regarding this, with "average" consumer.

Most of people who use any kind of smartphone are aware of these things, they just don't have enough interest to voice them in public.

Underestimating people and treating them like mass of idiots is disgusting.

Stop this lie.
