i only bricked about 15 times and 5 of them were in one day i even bricked my phone yesterday cause i forgot to disable my lagfix before flashing a kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Calm down dude. Its an accepted (by most) term for just that, a software loop. Softbrick doesn't mean a soft brick, it means a "Software" brick. Very different from a brick, but an easy way to describe a software loop, no boot situation.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguly:
the only times i have ever actually bricked my phone is when odin messes up, or if i mess with kernels

EDIT: Just wanted to let you know the full version of Walkabout is now FREE on get jar for a limited time. Go grab it now! No registration or personal info needs to be entered, just point your phone/tablet here:

http://getjar.com/Walkabout

EDIT: Just got my Galaxy Nexus - Walkabout is working 100% on ICS!

Hey guys.

I just made my first android game. Its called walkabout - the idea is to collect all the stars on each level, but as you walk the path beneath you disappears. You need to think about your route or you'll be stranded!

The market link is:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.base2.walkaboutdemo

Or you can search 'walkabout' in the market.

Full version is here:

[Android Apps and Games] Tribulattifather:
Bought and installing now ^>^
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Great! Please do try the demo first in case there's a compatibility problem with your specific phone. I've tested it on a lot of phones now so I hope its all ok.

But even if there is an issue please let me know and i'll fix it ASAP!
[Android Apps and Games] Tribulattifather:
Well done. GUI is splendid and the game is enticing. I give the game a 5/5.

Are you going to make another game? If so I'll be a fellow purchaser in the future.

If you need, I have a couple of ideas that I've been wishing I could put into action. I'd be willing to let you have those ideas royalty free. Private message me if you're interested in my ideas. I'll pm you in about 4 to 5 days if I don't see anything in my inbox ^>^.

I personally think you'd be the perfect game dev for my ideas.. And anything that you make off this game would be all for you. What's in it for me - Just being able to say I had a little part in helping you develop a game.
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Sent you a PM :)

Updated to v1.5.3 - All reported bugs fixed
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Updated to 1.5.4 - sped up menu transitions, and decreased end level 'speech bubble' time.
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
A user has made a walkthrough in case you're stuck on any particular level!

http://www.youtube.com/user/ObihoernchenDE#p/c/B7B5EDABF6205BDF/0/UNtooM-CRBw

The rest of the levels should be up in the next few days.
[Android Apps and Games] mic_888:
Great game! The graphics and sfx are very cute - reminds me a little of the zelda mini puzzle games.

Plays nicely on my N1. Your trial version is very good - enough levels to get you interested and try out player switching.

[Android Apps and Games] techick:
Looks like a fun game! But are you planning on making it available for Android tablet's? And can you upload the /apk somewhere else besides the Market? I ask because my tablet won't DL from the Market..don't know why...and I'd love to have it on the bigger screen. Going to DL and give a go on my Droid2 now....for in the meantime, ya know;)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
It already has resources for 320x480, 800x480 and 1024x768 so it scales down the next largest image to the device.

So it already supports all the devices out there including tablets :)

You can also get it at http://www.androidpit.com/

I can upload the demo apk somewhere else as well if you're still not able to grab it? I'd just rather have all the distribution in one place than loads of links to it floating :)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Just updated to v1.6.1 - various bug fixes and a new icon!

[Android Apps and Games] kam187:

[Android Apps and Games] imparator:
Great initiative and a great game.
[Android Apps and Games] ppcmaster1:

[Android Apps and Games] kam187:

Just wanted to let you know i've updated to 2.1.0 and now supports Honeycomb and xtra-large screen sizes like the XOOM :) No upscaling, native res graphics!

Could someone with a galaxy S PM me if they are able to test something for me? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Just a quick update:

So a user left this comment and 1 star rating on the Market:

by Velehto (April 13, 2011)

This thing doesn`t even start with Galaxy S

And I freaked out, and went into a panic to quickly re-test and get it working :) I had one facinate user test it, as well as a user on a stock Galaxy S. Both ran perfectly fine.

So I assume it must be an issue with his particular phone - either the Rom, or some wierd low memory state at that moment. If this user is here, please message me or PM me as i don't like that it doesn't work for you!

Anyone else with a Galaxy S or Facinate, if you could confirm it works or doesnt work for you. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
nice work Kam187, i thought you had vanished

remember me?
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Hey man! Ofc I still remember you lol. The good old i7500 days :P

So what phone you using these days? And why aren't you in #i7500. Pop in some time just to say hi.

Oh and tell all your friends about my game :P
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
im in desire land nowadays Kam my wife has my 7500 and refuses to let me mod it

what device you on
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Ahhh still with my nexus one here. You should steal it from here when she's asleep :P

We have 2.2 running on it now, and 2.3 in testing :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
yeah thats why she banned me from it

i put 2.2 beta 3 on there and i couldnt get rid of the slowdown and lag

couldnt enable swap as i stole my sdcard back from it

the lagfest continued so i had to put galaxo 1.6 back on
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
LOL u fail! buy here an SD card, or find some old one laying around, even something like 32mb for swap only?
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
Awesome! There is a game like this on iOS and I have been waiting for a decent port. Today is full of win. Kudos dev, you deserve it.

Finally some time-killer Android game with nice graphics and an intriguing concept, as soon as I'll get my 2x i'll test it. Hope to see more games like this soon ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ashad:
Thanks for this game. It's great.
[Android Apps and Games] ObihoernchenDE:
Best puzzle game I've played.
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Thanks for all the nice comments :)
[Android Apps and Games] chamba:
it looks real nice however it forced closed on me for some reason , i am runing Droid X , when i clicked thru the options to turn off the sound it just closed completely.

only happened the one time so i may not be able to reproduce it and it could have been a one time thing already on level 2 :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Thanks I'll look into that. It may be something to do with the sound API, and turning the sound on/off too quickly when you tap the sound on/off button really quickly and repeatedly. I'll add a few hundred millisecond delay there just to be safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Pawnty:
Downloading the demo now :) been looking for some games to populate my currently empty game folder on my X10 so maybe I'll buy if I like.
[Android Apps and Games] r3draid3r:
I too am downloading the demo. I need something to do while I'm on the throne.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Great game with very nice graphics.

However, I think the overall experience would be better if the player wouldn't have to press the screen at every move/block.

In the first levels, the solution is quite obvious and it is just a waste of time to have to press to get every star.

I think it would be better if the player could draw a path, a path that the avatar would follow. Much more user-friendly.;)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Hi!

I'm experimenting with some other control methods. I did an initial try and because of the '3d' aspect drawing a path doesn't always work that well. I'm working on a solution, and i'll update it with different control methods in a future update :)
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Yes, I imagine that me saying it sounds way easier than your making it happen !:D

Thanks for the answer...;)
[Android Apps and Games] hon kin:
Worked like a charm on my stock P500.

My friend with Galaxy Ace is testing it, but i think it should work too!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Great! Thanks for reporting back. Hopefully it truly works on all devices now :)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Sorry guys it seems imageshack change some policy and a lot of people couldn't see the images in the first post. I have changed image host and hopefully you can all see them now :)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Wow lots of downloads :) Thanks guys!

The free version is just short of the 10,000 mark. If you haven't already tried it please do, and leave a comment!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Thanks for all the support! Walkabout crossed the 10k downloads mark, and is on its way to the 15k mark :)

Try it if you haven't already - the free version has plenty of levels!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Walkabout was just featured on the front page of the Android Market!
[Android Apps and Games] sugardeath:
Just found this free on Amazon App store. Pretty neat! I see you used the PlanetCute tile set (http://www.lostgarden.com/2007/05/dancs-miraculously-flexible-game.html)!

I recently used them for a demo game for a class of mine. Very versatile graphics, eh? I believe you have to give credit to the creator, though, yeah? I was unable to find said credit in your game, but perhaps I am just blind?
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Guys i need your help!

There seems to be a weird bug for some people where the game freezes after the first level. If you clear data or reinstall it works fine. If ANYONE has this error, PLEASE PLEASE don't reinstall and get me a logcat. I would be eternally grateful!

This happens in the Lite and Paid, but is very rare.

@sugardeath: LostGarden is credited in the end credits in the Lite and Paid versions. I spoke to Danc before release to let him know :) I have a game menu in the works and the credits will be moved there for proper visibility.

Initially its been a scramble to add compatibility and fix bugs before it became popular :) The menu took a back seat on my todo list. But now its been featured and has become very popular I may just add a 'credits' tab similar to the volume one on the top left of the tite screen, as the settings screen relies on listing some new features I haven't finished yet!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
omg! Walkabout is hot on the heels of Angry birds over at the Amazon App store!!
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Updated to fix lots of minor bugs. If you have any issues please let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:

[Android Apps and Games] kam187:

Walkabout works great on it, and at this res it looks amazing (ok i'm biased but seriously)
[Android Apps and Games] kam187:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know the full version of Walkabout is now FREE on get jar for a limited time. Go grab it now! No registration or personal info needs to be entered, there's no ads or any other funny business, just point your phone/tablet here:

http://getjar.com/Walkabout

In case you don't know about getjar, its one of the oldest app stores, and the biggest free app store in the world. They're offering select apps for free. There's some very big names there too ilke Gamelion (Doodle Fit), Konami’s (Krazy Kart Racing), Imperio, Handy Games ‘Guns ‘n’ Glory, Herocraft’s ‘Farm Frenzy’ and TouchType’s ‘SwiftKey X’.

http://www.getjar.com/about/pressre...th-of-free-apps-as-its-gold-program-explodes/

From a developer perspective they pay me a small amount per download. So please go check it out, its free for you, and every download generates me a small amount of money to work on my next indie game (even if you don't like it and uninstall it!) :)

Kam

PS. ignore the '0 downloads' stats there, it only just came out and those stats won't update till tomorrow!

Anyone know if Launcher Pro will look good at a higher resolution like the Atrix has? I tried LP on my Galaxy Tab and it did not look so good due to the high resolution.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] falconeight:
try it out
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] link12245:
I looks great. I changed it to 5 rows, instead of 4 stock, and you can fit more on each screen than a captivate. It's crazy fast too, and the transitions look great.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ecapox:
i just paid for the PRO version because i really liked the free version. Where do you go in and change how many rows and such? There isnt a Launcher Pro app in the menu.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] k0sun7eash3d:
You can change most launcher settings by pusing the menu button the homescreen and choosing "preferences" or something similar. There is also a shortcut there to the Android Settings menu, so don't be surprised if you click that one first.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Rock3nrenigade:

I have had this happen on other phones. I just left the Samsung Epic 4g to get the Atrix and my Epic did the same thing. I waited a few hours (next day) and updated the "people" widget and they all appeared. Let me know if this helps.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] GuestK0050:
Got a thread going in General about reboots. Launcher Pro may (or may not) be the cause.

For anyone installing, post back if the phone reboots at some point (within 24 hours) after installing Launcher Pro.

My launcher pro looks great. I configured 6 columns and 5 rows. I'll post a screenshot later. Love this phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] [DT]:
Same here, and using Folder Org for grouping apps together, along with the "show apps" as the icon, looks very slick and excellent details on the tiny icons.

Been running the paid launcher pro for more than 24 hours now and customized it to death. Im currently running it with beautiful widgets and live wallpaper, no problems encountered
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dunn32:
Its not causing reboots for me, but it is laggy.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tosh1:
Had LP Paid edition for 24 hours now and also on BW and there has not been anything bad about it so far. I dont feel the laggy as much more like its smooth now. The one thing I dont like about all this is the icons are so much smaller and so is the text for some widgets since resolution is so high.

I tried to put the option for stretch icon to fit in column and width but that didn't really do anything.

Other than that LP on this is pretty nice..... so far so good.

Anyone having a problem setting the default Launcher? I installed Launcher Pro and it becomes the default, but I can't go in and change it back to Blur as the default with uninstalling it. HomeSwitcher or HomeSmack are not working.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SpoonerPS3:
Still not working. The calendar widget won't sync either. I'll post on the Launcher Pro forums.

Really?? Just tried it (HomeSwitcher ...you got the one that says froyo right?) and it worked. I'm just trying to make the App Drawer transparent..anyone know how to do that??
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] davewuvswaffles:
Create a png file that is transparent, put it on your phone, long click/press the app drawer on your dock, select Change Icon, and select the transparent icon you made.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Bakedbread:
+1 to the people who thinks it seems laggy

ive been using Launcher Pro (paid) version for a long time on my HD2 and it runs EXTREMELY smooth on my HD2 running gingerbread

so when i finally got my atrix i thought it would be exactly the same if not better due to the incredible hardware

but yeah, its kinda weird, the screen transitions dont seem as "fluid" and smooth as the HD2. I compared it to my friends Nexus S as well and i can see the difference too..

i also think its cause its not yet optimized for dual core , or it might be the higher resolution..but i definitely notice it :S

hopefully the developer sees it. Maybe ill email him
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Silent8Strike:
For the people who have lag using LP or ADW, are you using a live wallpaper? I tried every different launcher and setting I could find and never found a way to stop the terrible lag when using a live wallpaper.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] planoman:
The app Moto Blur Home will correct this issue. It is in the market and free. I works just fine on the Atrix running Gingerbread 2.3.4
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Alcapone263:
i'm using ADW Ex, with the Nexus Revamped Pro live wallpaper. settings are cranked up to max on both of them, and i get almost no lag at all. the occasional stutter from the wallpaper while switching screens, but other than that the launcher runs super smooth, and so does the wallpaper.

also using CM7, with Faux's latest kernel if that makes any difference.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Will of fire:
i use launcher pro i love it, but recently it has been acting up adw launcher is a good one too. i guess it just depends on taste.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Incognitum:
Ive been running paid launcher pro since my G1 days. Now I have it on my Atrix and my Iconia a500. I don't know about transition effects and fancy widgets though. My favorite thing about LP is how much of that flashy crap I can turn off. I run it with only one home-screen and use folders in the dock to make finding the right app super easy. Very snappy performance that way too. I added more rows on the tablet so it wouldn't look so cartoony, but it works great there as well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
I left LauncherPro+ for ADWLauncher EX and haven't looked back.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
was an avid LP fan for two years. Tried out Go Launcher EX and have never looked back. has the customization of LP, but a TON of new features that ADW or LP do not have
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] slimslim:
I mostly used LP, using GoLauncher now. Went back many times to LP, ADW, Zeam, but every time I end up using GoLauncher EX with the 'buldoze' transition is the smoothest of all even while using live wallpaper.
