I just randomly remembered someone suggested this on Twitter a LONG time ago.
What if there was an app that gave achievements for things you do on your phone, kind of like the PS3 or Xbox360? lol
I'm thinking a message appears on screen like the new Superuser app (the one in the little default gray box that says "----- has been granted superuser permissions") with the "Achievements" name and stuff. What do you think?
2 problems with this:
First: What would we acheive? "Dalton sent 200 text messages in one day - 30G" boring.
Second: If it was something like that ^^ It couldn't be an app, it would have to mod pretty much everything, or have support for pretty much everything. And it would just be exhausting. "Dalton Installed a new ROM - 15G" I suppose it would be kind of cool, maybe, if there was a leaderboard thing, then we could go, I'm so awesome, my nexus score is higher than yours. But other than that, it's kind of silly. "Dalton bricked his phone - 0G"
Install foursquare and go outside.

Agreed. You get acheivements for...Having a life! Congratulations.
Haha, that was meant in a sarcastic and non demeaning manner.
But, he's got a point. It's simple, and it works. Granted, I only have
one friend that uses it, so no one will know if I get anything, but it's
still pretty good. But if you can come up with a list of decent ideas, then
maybe someone might make something. But, to me, sounds kind of foolish
I like it!
Like forsquare but for your geekiness!!

Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S
saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested
Now thats an Interesting feature....
In for this.
That is brilliant.
That is sweet!!!
guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..
that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume
Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?
that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.
I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.

Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people
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...

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.

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

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.
Hey so something weird has happened. I turned off my phone and when I turned it on again my market seems to be a very old version... just totally randomly. It looks even older than what it was prior to the current update. Anybody know what has happened?

Picture? I'm curious.
Are you sure it's not the new market that is rolling out?
Oh wow. Actually it appears to be the new market. It's the same as this:

It does have kind of a 70s retro Brady Bunch/Partridge Family look and feel to it, and it does seem to suck much more than the "older" version, so... I can understand userno's confusion.

I don't know but the new market is WAY BETTER than old one.
Meh its ok. I have my DPI set to 190 so it thinks its a tablet... except it doesn't display properly. My Transformer and G2x markets looks the same however it still reads the device info from the build.prop so I'm not missing out on apps.
But what I don't like is that if I click on games and go to "Top Free", it only displays so many. I haven't really found an option to Browse All.
I liked the old version where I could just scroll through tons and tons of stuff.
So I purchased one thing from the goodie good deals they had on the $.25 cent deal.
My question is, is this notorious game "The Dark Knight Rises" will be able to run on our device?
If not I didn't really waste money, it was 25 cents so what the heck, if I get a better device then it will run it.
Quick note: Ok I saw someone comment from a Galaxy Nexus device saying it runs smooth. So I'm hoping it runs smooth for our device also since both devices almost run the same specs according to GSMArena
You can't believe how similar the device hardware are, silly Samsung not giving us ICS!

OK, let me get this straight.
You made a thread because you bought an app and you want us to buy it and check it out for you so we tell you if it runs in our device that is the same as yours... Can't you just open it and satisfy your curiosity? I mean, it's easier, faster, you already bought it so I assume it installed and no one installs and app if not going to run it at least once, that's just dumb. Then you realized how useless making this thread was and put some links to old news in order to change the topic into something that was on discussion months ago.
I'm correct? Did I missed something? Maybe you just wanted to show off that you bought a .25$ app. I know, I must be wrong. I must have read something and misinterpreted it.

Ok... You're thrown off for some reason, you might be hyped or just angry and you decided to let it out on me. Nice to know that you wrote an article to express your hatred towards this thread.
Let me explain to you in a matter you can understand. I am not telling people to buy the game, I am asking for people who already had the game if it runs fine for our phone. You also do not realize how huge this "app" is. It totals to about around 1.80 GB according to Google Play. Please do not attempt to flame unless you understand the matter in hand. If this thread is completely useless then thank you for your feedback, I do not care, maybe the moderators do.
I am not giving you a angry/troll reply, I am just stating the fact that you are incorrect in some points of your reply and there is no reason for you to get angry at me.

Thank you! I also have to agree a little bit about being choppy on GB since temple run, runs so choppy on GB, weirdly it runs smoother on ICS!
@th3controll3r
I'm not angry. In fact, I was laughing. You made my night with this thread. What I tried to say in a not-so-funny-for-you way is that you already bought it, what are you going to do? Wait until you get a new device with better hardware/specs to try it? Just run it. The worst that could happen is a soft reboot, a FC or a crash and you have to pull battery, put it again and turn phone on. No big deal. In fact, I was going to get the game too but I don't have a CC to buy it. Enjoy the game.
BTW, I tried Bad Piggies... it's great. It does run in case someone else wonders. LOL
*Also, games run better for me one ICS than on GB. I noticed with Major Mayhem and Temple Run... even Angry Birds!

They need to add a mood emotion indicator with these forum softwares nowadays. I thought your reply was a angry reply. I'm sorry I misinterpreted XD
Maybe next time give more information in your initial post. I read it and thought OK you bought the game but must be afraid of installing it. I would be willing to bet it would also be better suited to post in the theme and apps sub next time. I could be wrong but I do believe that is where apps and theme related posts belong.

Not the same spec, one clocked at 200mhz the other 384mhz and can be oc'ed to 512mhz. Then there is the cpu and ram and faster flash memory. The graphic will look better on the Nexus too. But I wonder why there isn't a way to overclock the GPU for the Galaxy S, or is there?
I do notice smoother gameplay with Jelly Bean on the Nexus compared to ICS.
Hi everyone,
I've been a lurker on here, and post rarely, but I was wondering if I could get a bit of assistance. A friend of mine emailed me a Pandora app, said it was cool. Its a different design, version 1.7, labeled "Bad Seed Customs" on the front. Really slick interface, a bit slower than I'm used to, but its all dark so I'm good with it due to battery life savings.
It appears to have the same permissions as the market version of pandora.
How can I tell if its safe, and not like a keylogger or something? I installed it while on airplane mode and scanned it by Norton, it didnt flag it...but I'm still nervous. I like the app, just am paranoid. Apologies if this is a noob question!

Be it dark, light or of any color, it doesn't have any effect on battery life since our Nexus has a LCD panel.

Most likely it's safe but this kind of reflection should really occur before you install.
Hmm... didn't know there were no battery savings. Thank you for that info, noted. I do like the design though, a lot more than stock pandora.
I did think of this prior to installing; was in airplane mode, installed the app, scanned it, uninstalled, left airplane mode... it couldn't have really stolen data, right?
I also did google it, I didn't really find much. I found an old XDA thread, which had a ton of replies, so I'd say it would be fine if I had gotten it from there but the download link had been removed from the thread... the rest of the stuff is just like no-name sources saying "hey here's some candy, get in the van, download this file bro" kinda thing. Turns out that this version is no adds / unlimited skips, according to the google results, I'm assuming the Bad Seed Customs folks hacked the app... worries me more lol.
Talked to my buddy a minute ago, turns out he got the app from a buddy of his, who got it on some website... probably the google search results. Uhg, dilemmas.
