Already signed up...just wish I could play around with it. Looks very very very nice.
u.s. only garbage.
Just applied...looks very nice!
Damn someone has to have this!
Skyfire
Im signed up also thanks for the info. I been waiting for a better browser. Is this made by mozilla? Any other software out there to test?
Just signed up myself. Hopefully this will prove to be better then Opera.
i signed up and waiting looks good only downside i dont have 3g dame tmobile edge!
signed up this morning and waiting for an invite. will post up first impressions when it is sent.
Signed up a few min ago. . . Seems to me that they are trying to copy safari, also if you look at the video, flash is choppy because its on a kaiser. . . HTC you blew it big time.
Check out this link. Pics of it on a Kaiser.

Signed up also.
I wonder how well the server-side caching will actually work. I know similar technology is used by "dial-up" companies, but that only works with text, not multimedia...
Engadget link...
I'm signed up too. I just hope this is as good as it seems, if it is it will be just what i was waiting for.

Damn it with this U.S.-only crap.. Still no decent browser for me (don't even get me started on Opera)...
I also signed up, no its not by Mozilla, althogh Mozilla is trying to make a mobile version of Firefox, which also looks good.
Looks awesome. Signed up and awaiting trials to start
US Only, For Now
It's not reasonable to expect a new product like this that depends upon a scaled architecture as its user base grows to be launched worldwide. It's been developed in USA, so it will be available here, first. Skyfire clearly state it's bound for other platforms and geographies, as well.

not affilliated with Skyfire; not a tester yet and waiting as impatiently as anyone else
Next Week...
Update to skyfire blog is posted at their site. Sounds like it's not far off! Looks like the push is on for Europe/Asia and Symbian OS, too.

Problems with Skyfire
Installed it on my Kaiser.
It starts fine - "Starting Up", "Connecting" , but after 15-20 seconds says "Lost network connection. Please, try again later"
And the only chice i have is to click "EXIT" button.
How to fix this ?
How many people have actually got Skyfire already?
I am wondering how many people already started with the beta. If you got an invite how and when did you get it?. I signed up on the 01/29/08, I have not received anything other than the confirmation email, but I have read that they are backed up. Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Now that everyone is happy to get root back. What do you think the next big thing coming for this phone is.
Qtronix
I want to see something like OpenArena get ported :-D, or some game that actually uses the 3D power on this jawn!! Pref FPS and using the accelorameter.
Anyways, good looks to everyone who helped in getting this going, I was stuck with an unrooted rc30 for a minute!! thanks!!!
When I get time, I want to play around and see if any emulators can run and access the framebuffer without going through Java.
Plenty of the major console emulators (nintendo, sega, arcades, neo-geo, etc.) have been compiled to run on ARM processors already (GP2X/GP32). I'd love to see them on a G1, tho it might take doing the Debian thing to get to where they'd actually work.
Free sim unlock Or porting windows mobile
Yeah another 1+ for Windows Mobile on the G1.
More apps being developed that require root, (Home Today Screen) like WinMo....
Someone should just write out a list of things to do after root.
Can you WinMo-on-G1 guys keep your posts on this thread pretty please? That way the rest of us only have to ignore one thread.
I'm a little disappointed* that the pace of things is going so slow. I don't recall the timeline but when the iPhone was hacked, there were little programs popping out all over the place as people recompiled things for the OS.
*I'm not a programmer so I'm not going to tell others how to do their work. I presume native apps are coming and I'll be grateful when they get here at whatever pace.
What about flash? Iphone has a little app that lets them use flash. When's ours coming?

Let's see.... iPhone came out how long ago? They still don't have cut & paste? They still don't have MMS? They still don't have ...... A LOT
Yet you are worried about the pace we are seeing things? Sorry, but major problems are being resolved daily.

isn't that kind of a silly question?
how many times a day do you check these forums, or other android news sites?
Our google friends are working hard we are developing a lot of thing at the moment if you hop on irc once in a while it filled with devs. G1 it juss take time u got to wait. I been trying to get copy and paste ported but it need to developed in the sdk better. I am also porting touchflo to g1, well a knock off verison lol.
I would like to see desktop widgets. Like an RSS reader, weather forcasts, and music player.

Is it really though? Granted, while we will all eventually get it, would you know if it was being pushed OTA right this second? Historically, one or two people got the OTA update and they announced it.
However, now that everyone has OTA blocked (minus the people that don't bother and also don't frequent boards)...who is going to tell us if Google doesn't post something up the very second it is available?
then youll have to wait a few days.
Check the t-mobile forums, nothing yet.

There's alway the question of the dev phones. No OTA update for them anyway, and google is going to tell the devs to upgrade their phone. There will probably be some kind of announce on android-development mailing lists as well.
Don't worry, we'll know, one way or the other

(Shaking hands & Jumping impatiently)
But I wanna know NOOOW
Our updates are blocked really? I honestly wondered if our phones downloaded the updates then tried installing the update or it sends the keys then updates. But the answer is not that important to search. As for things being done I believe Jf recompiled busybox from 1.8 mb to 700k and linked it to the system. That's a big step forward
I would love to see someone with the new T-Mobile Garminfone pull out the apk and see if we can use it in our Incredibles. I would just love to see how it would work on a real powerhouse of a phone ;-)

Thanks for sharing =)
So anything you rip off another phone is illegal, how come we do it with alot of stuff on here... then again what do i care /ripriprip
The problem with this is that it's the map data mostly. When I was on Windows Mobile, we had the same problem with Microsoft Voice Command. Even though it came with most WM phones, you weren't aloud to share the .cab (equivalent to .apk) file for it. In fact, cooking roms with it was kinda frowned upon. The problem was the licensing, because Microsoft actually charged for the app, for the few phones that came without it (the manufacturer had the option to use it, I'm guessing they decided to just pay for it to have it come loaded). Even when TomTom came out with a "trial" for one specific WM phone, the cracked program wasn't allowed on XDA, even though cracking it just made it possible to use it on other phones...... You still had to buy the maps from TomTom for the phone..... It's all just a CYOA policy, and it's what makes sure XDA won't be shut down!
So I guess the question is: if I am able to find the.apk, would it work on my inc. Has there been any success stories?
It would certainly be interesting to find out. I remember someone in the past had made a GPS Phone based off Windows Mobile. I can't remember who offhand, but I'd think it would be more profitable for them to release the software for a reasonable price than to offer it only on their phone, which who knows how much they're really making off it. I mean it comes down to profit, but I'd think that considering my DInc came with built in Nav for free, and is a much better phone, why pay a premium for a phone with GPS, when you can get a better *phone* and add GPS software for a minimal cost (or use the FREE one included!). Just my thoughts though.....
I searched the forums for anything like this and couldn't find anything so I am starting a new topic.
I came across a new Android game that is under beta testing called Runes-MMORPG and from what I have seen, it looks really neat. They need tons of testers and people that will report bugs in the forums.
You need to register in the main site and register in the forums. Note: They ask for a lot of information like your home address; no SSN though After you register in the main site, they will email you some instructions and a link to download their Runes.apk file.
Here's the link to their site:

I, unfortunately, can't play it myself because I have a TP2 and the Android port for it is still under development, but I still want to know what you guys think.
Let me know!

I just found out about it like 3 days ago. Too bad I can't try it out any time soon.
watched the video on the site...doesnt seem too exciting anyone play it yet?
I'm registered and downloaded/installed the game a couple of weeks ago, though I haven't really messed with it much.
I found it a tad confusing, so I need to read up on it to better understand what's expected of me.
Anyone else have tips/advice/suggestions?

I very much share the same opinions, Installed it a few weeks ago but stopped playing it for a while because I was a bit confused ons ome aspects..
in the official website last time i checked, FAQ isnt working yet,,
no online manuals/game guide can be found
in the map view, it doesnt show where you currently are..so I cant remember (or maybe im missing something?)
in the spellbook it deosnt clearly say what spells you already have and what you still need to unlock..
i cant explain it that much now, since I stopped playing but the UI seem to take time learning..anwyay, Im not uninstalling yet since this app looks promising..
im in, playing now.. not quite what i was hoping for. going to remove, was hoping will be more 3D action like runescape kinda game.
i beleive it has potential though.
So, another day another game thats not compatible with our devices despite being compatible with the Prime and Nexus 7 (can anyone confirm that this works on the Nexus 10?)
My question is has anybody managed to get it working and if so how?
Thanks in advance

Can't commit about whether it's working on a Nexus 10, but it not working on my TF700 is frustrating me too. While you can't download it from the store, I've tried installing several different versions and it closes on all of them after the title screen appears.

i heard that it does work on the nexus 10 from other forums. Exactly the same story for me my friend, tried about 6 different .apk files all with the same result. It is lazy development by EA especially if the screen resolution is the problem, since the Nexus 10 has a higher one. It makes no sense for a top end device to lose so much compatibility.
I sent EA an email yesterday asking why, and now im waiting for a reply.
Sit tight
Cool. Will be interested to hear if EA responds. My guess is if they do they'll place the blame on Asus and/or Nvidia.

well actually they havent even bothered to reply to me yet, despite me sending 3 emails. its been over a week now, they obviously can't be arsed because they are awful developers.
I'll keep on trying anyway, got nothing to lose right?
a small update
So i actually managed to get a reply from EA (not to the email i directly sent them, which has now been over two weeks since ive had a reply, but a forum topic i started about the compatibility).
They said "It is the decision of the company that builds the device, which Android version runs on it. The Simpsons: Tapped Out requires Andriod version 2.3.3 (or higher)."
Er what? For starters android tablets dont run anything lower than honeycomb (aside from the original galaxy tab), and the TF700 is a MUCH newer device so automatically runs at least honeycomb. As we all know it did in fact come with ICS.
So yeah, pretty unhelpful, but at least i got a reply. Waiting for the next one now i guess.
LOL. That's an even more useless response then I expected you'd get, but thanks for the updates.
UPDATE!
I received an email from EA today:
"Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in response. Going forward, we would do our best to respond in time.
Having going through your email I found that you want to know about the compatibility for the game "The Simpsons: Tapped Out". I'll do my best to help you out.
I request you to please refer the link given below to check the compatibility of the game.

Feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. You can also receive online assistance at http://help.ea.com/

Go on guys, follow the google link, you'll find its worse than useless.
I guess im grateful for a reply FINALLY, however aside from "helping me out" that link made the reply useless.
Lets all give EA a round of applause.
Still no reply from EA I guess....I started this forum topic over on the Tapped Out forums. I encourage anyone with an Infinity to hop over there and voice your disappointment in the support EA provides for its hottest games. Here is the link: hxxp://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/0/9453462.page#28257145.

Actually....
Appologies for not posting sooner but ive been pretty busy with uni.
Anyway i have indeed received another reply. After them asking me what device i was using, what version and what the problem with the game is (!!!), they forwarded the information i gave them to another department :-|. THEN i got a reply...
They said that they would forward my query to the studio who actually make the game, and they will deal with it.
However, they said that i shouldnt really expect a reply, and even then they may do nothing. He ended by saying the game may or may not ever be compatible. Great.
I definitely shall be joining that forum and voicing my opinion, it worked for the sims free play after all.
At the moment it doesnt seem likely.
Wasn't there a "worst company" award recently?
I'm an owner of a Acer a700, which have the same hardware (tegra3, 1920*1200 res), and the game don't work on it too...

I did wonder if this device was compatible given the strong similarities. Thanks.
still no compatibility despite the latest update. Im gonna go on the forums and complain some more and request that the 4.3 update also includes compatibility I suggest everyone else does the same for the maximum impact.
SUCCESS!!
MAJOR UPDATE! The compatibility on the play store still lists the game as incompatible.
HOWEVER, google search "the simpsons tapped out v4.3.0 apk" and click the third link (it's apkwikipedia). You will find an apk to download in a zipped format (.zip or .rar can't remember). Anyway, the apk is working and as i speak im downloading the updates on the main page!
It is a modded apk (at least one of the .apk files in the package is) so you will get unlimited money.
Regardless, it is now possible to play the game on the tablet. I will update any problems/issues encountered once i've tested it.
Download and get playing! Spread the word!
EDIT: i have played around with it and everything seems to work as well as on my phone. If you lose your friends list, just sign in and out again of origin and they should turn up.
Finally got this game to work on my Asus TF700 and not by using a modded apk. Got fed up with the freezing and force closes that I was experiencing ever since I got this tablet using the official firmware, so I unlocked and rooted my tablet and loaded the Cromi-X rom onto it. Big improvement in performance. And to get This game to work, I downloaded an app called Market Helper which tricks thr Play store into thinking your phone or tablet is a different phone or tablet. The Market Helper app requires root, isn't available in the Play Store (so google it to find it) and while I couldn‘t get it to work the Play Store app, it worked great via the online Play Store (and once you reboot, your device ID goes back to it‘s orginal state).
Glad more people are getting it to work. To clarify, the link i posted does has both a modded .apk and a non added .apk
Also, slightly unrelated, how is Cromi-X performance wise? Was it easy to do? Did you keep all your apps and system preferences? Will it be possible to keep the game when installing this custom rom? Need to do more research before i commit!
