Android on smartphone or ppc??

I have seen they are working on this on a few different sites. Does anyone here no anything about it yet? I figure if anyone is going to do it, it woll be someone here..Here is a link of someone doing it on a mda 3.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/13/firm-shows-off-functional-android-build-on-ancient-htc-hardware/

From what I understood of what I read, it's technically not running it on a smartphone. You run a VNC Viewer on your phone (normally, VNC is software used to remotely control your PC), then setup your PC to feed the Android display to your phone.
So what's basically happening is Android runs in an emulator on your PC, but shows up on your phone.
Because of the nature of the VNC, however, this makes for a very slowly system and means you really can't make phone calls using it.

Oh...is that what they are doing there? I guess I didn't read closely enough. Thanks for the update. I was hoping to flash my Wizard with some mystical android rom at some point....I know............. I'm dreaming......but it would be cool..

Agree... it would be cool. In the mean time, if you haven't already, check out PointUI. I expect it to progress into something really sick (it's pretty cool already).

Oh it'll most likely happen sooner or later...especially considering HTC is planning to release an Android device, which means possibly similar hardware, but it's still too early...

[Q] PS3 Jailbreak app for Android

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/05/ps3-jailbreak-adapted-to-nokia-n900-palm-pre-in-wake-of-austral/
Engadget reported that the N900 and PalmPre have PS3 jailbreak apps, where you can connect it to your PS3 via USB and jailbreak it to allow for homebrew apps and stuff. Anyone know of anybody working on a port or version for Android?

idk if your G1 will work... It sounds like it needs a device with Clockwork and a CM ROM. I'm going to look into it more before I attempt to jailbreak my PS3, but from what I have read, the latest firmware update (out this week) will overwrite the exploit and re-imprison the PS3.

I was trying to look when I had time at work, but if the G1 has the MSM72K USB controller it should work, but i've not had time to find out if it does. But the USB jailbreak hardware that this software is based off of, would prevent the PS3 from updating to the new firmware. You only need to update the firmware in order to go online to use those features of the PS3. If you don't play online or do online stuff with it (like me) you don't HAVE to update the firmware that Sony sends out. So if the G1 has the MSM72k USB controller we should be all set. I'm pretty sure as well that there will be an update to the jailbreak software to get around the new firmware update soon. I don't think it would NEED clockwork or CM, just that who ever it was that got it working was using that setup. I'll be home in a few hours and will experiment a little and see what happens. If it don't work on the G1, i'll try it on the Moto Cliq (may have the usb controller). And if THAT don't work i'll wait for the HTC Vision to hit T-Mo and try it with that..hehehe. worst comes worst, i'll find a used N1.

Too bad playstation released a update for these things, there surely on top of their game!

If I were you, I wouldn't want to forgo the sony updates, as they are often times feature enhancing like the 3D support that's being added later this year.

this app is so cool and you can literally jailbreak your ps3 with a tooth brush and slipper

as long as you have not updated

is this posible JAILBREAK with the new TRUE BLUE metod??

Sony has been on top of their updates lately cause there are a ton of people out there that use the jailbreak just to cheat at online play with alot of games especially COD! I liked to use it just so I could copy all my games onto my hdd I've got a 1 TB drive in there but it's mostly the little punk kids that cheat and hack games cause they suck so much at playing them. Its pretty pathetic really what's the point of cheating? It doesn't make you a better player just lazier!

PS3 Jailbreak
hii friends,
i need ps3 jailbreak 4.83 version

dual screen android

thought i would share this link with you all...i thought it was interesting to see where we are heading for the future! how long till we have DS Emulator on the Market?

Thank bro...
Checkidot

Nice..
I think that this could also be done now manually eg. by installing another chrooted OS (Debian) and configuring Xorg to work correctly with the external screen. Yes, it is complicated and unseen problems will probably arise.

IMO that looks like a train wreck. A couple of beers later, snap! You now have two phones.

Yea, looks totally ridicolous.. And what about the cpu? Will it handle dual-screens?

hello friends,
I am newbie here. I hope all your co-operation and help. I am very happy to be here with u all.
Waiting for your positive response.
Have a great day !

Yeah, I don't think it will go anywhere either. I'm sure someone will do something cool to it though. I remember being on Engadget during the press conference waiting for that dumb David Blaine stunt to get over with.

Yea I heard about the David Blaine thing; kinda stupid imo.
However, I don't really like the design of the phone, not really pleasing to look at; that and tthe fact that the form factor itself might actually take away from the speed you can do most things.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Who brought the DS to Sprint?

as a Sprint user this phone was a huge let down.

Ugliest phone ive seen in a while.

Lol have sense but i think that is a failer = [

Technically, we already have a very early Prototype DS emulator on the market.
Just search up Tiger Lab Nintendo DS on Google
{I would provide the URL link but as the website says I'm still a n00b and unable to post weblinks}
I personally haven't tried out the emulator, but it definately shows promise.

nice, finally effective multi tasking phone

That dual screen phone is pretty darn ugly. I don't think I'd carry a dual screen phone... definitely not one with those specs. It's too thick and too big without the good specs it would need.

Jrioni Mame Arcade now for Xperia Play

I just saw jrioni arcade has been updated to work with 2.3.3 and the dev has added xperia play support.
Has anyone tried it yet to see if it is actually any good?
I dont want to buy it unless i know it works
Do we finally have mame for Android, and better yet, for the xperia play?

bump bump bump !
cmon, someone must have tried the new version.
We have been waiting for a decentish version of Mame for ages for the Xperia Play and this is the first one.

If its free post an apk if possible

It works. Setting up the buttons puts in a ? instead of the button name, but it works properly. The emulator will put up the virtual buttons until you press a gamepad button, then turns them off.

Final Fight, Bad Dudes, Robocop, Strider, Captain Commando, 3 Wonders, Golden Axe, Outrun, Mercs, Turtles, Shinobi, Sly Spy all working perfectly with hardware controls thanks!!

Excellent news. Robocop arcade version is one of my favourite games ever. Next to the Spectrum version (yes i did say Spectrum ) it is the best Robocop game ever made.
Can you report how well other roms work too please.
Also can someone post a link to the 0.35 romsets (or whichever ones are needed to work with this emulator)
Im waiting on a new bank account card. When i get it im making my first purchase this emulator and n64oid,
That will keep me busy for games for at least the next 3 months. Screw new games

finally got the passcode sorted ,
ive got 74gb of mame roms on my pc but there not the 035 set
so dont think they will work,
trying to find 035 set is proving pretty hard

http://chui.dcemu.co.uk/mame4all.html#GameCompatibilityList - i think game list is same. Mam4all have compatybility for mame 0.35 romset.

Yes, you need to look for a MAME4All romset.

says the file has been deleted for me?

I made the same mistake, make sure you remove the ---- 0.35 off the end of the link - it should end P1M. I just checked it and it's still there.
Moderators - am I allowed to post the direct download link?

For anyone buying this after the timestamp of this post, can you tell me if you got it ok? I'm continually getting server errors when I click on OK to confirm my purchase.
I sure hope I'm not getting billed each time, I'd be down a month's wages

Wow, thanks for the heads-up...this thing plays Ghouls 'n Ghosts awesomely. It's a bit tricky to assign the buttons to the Play's hardware buttons but I figured it out...you have to press the back hardware button after clicking on the assignment (because it pulls up the virtual keyboard) and then press the hardware button you want it to be assigned to.

Gamestring Adrenalin Gamecast to android.

I have started playing around with Gamestring a couple of days ago. I spent a number of hours re-installing Bioshock and Gears of War to see what would happen...nothing. Gamestring will probably need a games compatibility list more so than. "If the game renders in Direct X" is not enough.

I dont get the point with this thread

He is clearly asking if we should start a compatibility thread like we have with PSXperia. :rolleyes"
@op. This is xda, if you want to start a compatibility thead go for it but use this thread, dont start new
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

I was hoping someone else in this forum had played with the application and had a better experience than I did. Or maybe someone has a few tips for game compatibility. The Gamestring forum are very new and has very little info for the user to troubleshoot issues with app, connection or setup. I thought this would be a good place to ask. "Has anyone been able to stream a game from gamestring to Xperia play."

Start by explaining what Gamestring Adrenalin is?

Sorry. Adrenlin Gamestring is an application that allows you to use a host computer to run a game ex: WoW(World of Warcraft) then capture the game and broadcast it to your device. Similar to OnLive but using your PC as the host and your own games to broadcast. There is an open beta at:
http://adrenalin.gamestring.com
I have had little success with the app. It seems that games have to render in DirectX 9 no higher. Still testing.

so it's like using Splashtop? You stream your monitor to your phone? What are plus/downside to this?

The advantages are, this app was designed to stream games rather than being a remote desktop app (like splashtop) so it "should" offer much higher framerates.

Similar to Splashtop, but purposefully built for gaming. I assumed, based on the graphics used on the site that they are aiming at the Xperia play crowd. I have tried both Gears of War and Bioshock, but neither has worked. The service doesn't seem to "hook" the game properly even in DX9 mode. The mouse does seem to move the mouse on the host but no audio or video.
The plus. The possibly of playing emulators like dolphin or or other games that I already own for free on my phone.
The down. (Besides the fact I can't get it to work! LOL) The service requires WIFI no 3g and no analog support yet.

Oh cool.. but i totaly lose interest when you say Wifi-only. Why? I rather sit by my xbox or my computer if i wanna play those games. Why play it on a small screen when you can play it on your TV or computer screen?
And i guess that it doesn't work with another wifi-connection then your own, because you stream your game.. am i right?
So yeah.. cool thing.. but so not usefull IMO

Wifi only sometimes isnt bad, say for instance your in a bg and suddenly you have the urge to have a crap. Load this app and go poop. Its good enough to keep you from getting flagged as away in game. Basicly this app replaces the piss bucket for mmo junkies

I have heard that the WIFI is a deal breaker for a number of people. I kinda feel the same way. Since I am not a big WoW player, I thought it would be a good way to play the rated M games that I don't wanna play in front of the kiddies.

And even IF it should work via 3g, it would fry up your phone bill like crazy anyway so haha ^^
