Counter-strike 1.6 on HD2

Hello Guys .
I have a question to smart guys , about playing counter strike on HTC HD2 .
Is there any chances to get well working counter strike on HD2 ?
For controll we can use dualshock 3 ( cobaltcontroller ) , for example left analogic stick for walking , right for aim .
I think it could be nice

+1 On this!
BTW, do you actually have Counter Strike running on your HD2? If so could you kindly point me to instructions on how to get it working? Counter Strike has always been an awesome game!

It most likely wouldn't be possible to do this, since it would require windows XP, and running any thing that intensive in an emulator would produce undesired results. This sounds awesome, but unless they can port this over fully and then have some way of connecting to steam this wouldn't work. Which I doubt anyone can port this over fully, since the phone has completely different hardware than regular computers, because of course its a phone.

Yeah, I thought so. I knew it seemed kind of far-fetched to be able to get such a game ported. Oh well. Well at least reading this thread helped me find out about the Cobalt Controller App. I had been desperately seeking an app to pair a PS3 controller with my HD2! Yippee!

Cobalt Controller App? Explain? Im interested.

Well, I haven't tried it yet. I am at work, but you can check it out here.
Looks promising. It says you should be able to use it with FPSECE too! I can't wait to try this out!

And why wouldn't you be able to run Counter Strike without XP? I used to be able to run quake 3 on my Fuze and I'm sure I can make it run on the HD2 the only real reason I haven't tried in the lack of a hardware keyboard. Since the Sony controller is now working I might start looking into again.

Awesome! I would love to see the progress on this. Keep us updated if you don't mind.

It's nothing I'm really concerned with and since I don't have a Sony controller I don't think I'll be working on it anytime soon. If you would like to try and give it a run just do some searches for Quake3 and you will find all the info you need.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post. I thought you were talking about Counter Strike. I haven't tried Q3A with the HD2 yet either, but I do have it on my Nexus One, and play it with the Wii Remote, and I also have it on my N900. I really don't need another device to play it with. Two is enough for me.

This will NEVER be possible... The only chance would be to write a steam client and a hl-engine for Windows Mobile

vegito...where exactly are you from? cause i live in a place called hockinson, and we call it h-town, and someone i know is deployed in iraq right now from h-town...trying to see if there is any connection here

I have no clue about Counter Strike but I know I could get online with Quake 3. If there is something special with CS and steam that would not allow that then I don't know. I never like CS so......never played it.

Because the Quake3 you played on your Fuze was the exact rip of Quake3 on the computer, right?
It's called PORTING. Some of you need to look this up...

And your point is? Like I said I do not exactly know how CS works but the last I remember it was pretty much the same thing as Quake 3. Yes the Q3 I was playing was a rip from my computer. I don't see why the same thing couldn't be done with CS though. Is there something I'm missing about why it couldn't be done.

Your original Quake3 wasn't coded for the WinCE platform...and neither was CS 1.6. Get a clue.
My point is that simpleton like you guys shouldn't be too narrow-minded as to how gaming on the HD2 works. Unless you're a programmer (which by your posts indicated that you don't have any clue), you can't just assume that everything you play on the computer will work on the HD2. Different hardware and different software would be some of the early indications. Porting requires a great deal of time, effort and expertise to be able to translate windows 9x kernel to winCE.
...and No, your Quake3 that you played on your Fuze is not a direct rip. Unless you're retarded.

[REQ] PS3 JailBreak APP

Hello,
Today Mathieulh and his team released an open source PSjailbreak the code must be installed on AT90USBkey or Teensy++ USB development board (both sold out now, two weeks to re stock)
source code is here:
github.com/psgroove/psgroove
psjailbreak exploit document:
ps3wiki.lan.st/index.php?title=PSJailbreak_Exploit_Reverse_Engineering
Sven Killig's Connect USB devices to your Nexus One instructions:
sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
i'm not java or an android developer this is a request to someone to take the project.
cheers

Now that would be awesome if someone could get this up and running by today! Is it even possible?

This would be absurd
I don't know much about that thing, does it even work?

Supposedly the code is already being ported to work on PSP. If it could be made to run from an Android that would be sick

+1, subscribing

+2
apparently jail broken iPhones are getting this feature....
Come on Android!

I'm all for this but surely if you require one of two special types of USB keys then standard USB keys/drives won't work (Including PSP/Android phones/iPhone?). I thought the exploit works simply because of these types of development USB keys and is not something that can be recreated using normal devices?

Ahh okay, I read up on PSGroove and it sounds pretty damn good, I didn't know that because the open sourced it that it may be possible to get it running on practically any USB Drive based device. Cheers for the info

Normally I ignore threads like this, but this would actually be pretty damn awesome if accomplished. I'm not sure if it's even possible but i hope some of you devs out there can give this a shot

I was given one of the USB's to test..
A notification system has to be made for it so we know if its working also.

current status :
1.KaKaRoTo is working on a PSJailbreak USB Gadget kernel driver for N900 .
By writing this exploit as a standard linux driver, this means that my module can be used on any other linux-enabled devices.. this means not only the N900, but also the 770, N800, N810, Android phones and future Meego devices. It might need a little porting for some devices though, but it should still work…

Wow I cant believe this will actually happen. If it is on N900 then it will be on Android.
Linux baby!

very interested to see this happen.
ot: but why is everything a jailbreak? lol

will this work on the touch diamond when it is running android?
this would be awesome.
or the best would be native windows mobile application for the jailbreak

Netzke is beta testing the android app.
hope the release will be in a couple of days

PSfreedom port to Incredible

I have been following the scene for the PS3 modding for Homebrew and saw that psfreedom is getting ported to many Android devices. Here is no mention yet of it working on Incredible. Anyone think they have the skill set to port this for us?
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list

Once done on the evo it should work on the incredible. Or try loading up cm6 and using the nexus one or desire methods.

Great idea, I will try this and post my results.

It's been posted on the site that the incredible is in progress

They just added it to the list because its the same chipset, no one is working on a incredible port atm. They are working on the EVO right now..

I'm sure it'll come to us eventually.

Does anyone know if there is someone specifically working on the Incredible or EVO port? I heard there was someone working on the EVO, but i cant find where or who. I would like to pitch in some effort to help transition it to the Incredible.

doesn't matter. Sony updated the firmware (v3.42) to block all USB based backup tools.

New ps3 firmware update has reportedly closed the exploit we are wishing to use.

Looks like the latest firmware blocks this. The arms race between the hackers and sony is on!
http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=...uk/go/rss/int/news/-/news/technology-11213618

I don't ever use PSN, so I'll stay at 3.41 for the time being. Think of it like the xbox jtag. Don't want to discourage anyone from porting just yet, it would still be a very useful port.

If you use a proxy app called Logan5's tool you can still go online with 3.41. It won't work forever though, they found a way to block it when the killed OtherOS support too

It DOES matter, just because Sony is releasing an update doesn't mean i have to update to that. I have turned off system updates and you can use proxy tricks to still sign on to PSN with 3.41.
I would assume anyone following this scene has read that it is built for 3.41 and has turned off updates....
Also the newly updated psgroove payload can retrieve practically any portion of the PS3 kernel, allowing us to find other exploits to take advantage of. Which means just a tiny update to the vulnerability exploit could still work on newer system versions.

Whoops double post.

Anyone know the result of flashing the N1 version over? I know it was talked about..

I tried flashing the N1 version of the jailbreak while on a CM6 rom but it doesn't get past the "HTC Incredible" white screen while booting

Just Adding to the mix
Hey guys i was searching other forums to get a bypass method for us who want to stay at 3.41 until we have other methodologies for jailbreaking and preserving the PS3.
here's a link to the OP at the other forum:
h* *p://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65511
can't hotlink yet still new user so just replace the stars with "tt"
basically he's just giving two forms of bypass for being able to sign in and get in to the PSN to play online and shop.
Hope this helps someone.
Looking forware to more Droid Inc ROMs as well as PS3

[In Progress] Hacking the Optimum App for Kindle Fire

Cablevision recently released the full Optimum app with streaming capabilities, but it has only been released for the Kindle Fire. Since the Kindle Fire runs Android, it should be possible for the application to run on any other Android device. This thread will be the attempt at modding the Optimum application to work with all Android devices (2.3+).
Optimum App Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?169999r49rv15q9
Currently Known:
Application asks for root upon opening
Some devices can open and run the app successfully, but must log in and out every use. If not, data must be cleared for every use.

I have tried on my CM9 Evo and CM9 Iconia A500, and in both instances the application works (sometimes I have to wipe data, sometimes it works flawlessly).
The point of this is to modify the application itself, without touching the device files, making it work with almost any version of Android (Gingerbread and up because that is the Kindle Fire version).
So far, I haven't come up with much in the past few days. I'm still looking though.
Also, my thoughts on Cablevision:
I think Cablevision is actually one of the "good guys". They have cheap plans, fantastic service, and they really do want to help their customers. Their TV service is great, and it offers a lot of fantastic channel choices. The Internet is really good, as I always get at least 25 up/down with very low ping (I do enjoy gaming).
I don't like the fact that they haven't come out with a streaming application for Android yet, but it is obvious that they are making progress. I do like watching TV on my laptop, and it is nice to know that I can watch it on an iOS device if I ever get one again. The fact that they have an application for an Android device just shows that they are very close to a full Android release.

Nice to hear! I love working for them. I used to work at Comcast but I lived in cable vision territory so I thought why not do the same job and get free service lol. They are definitely putting for effort in trying to offer the same experience for both iOS and android. I've been bugging them since I started and I might pursuit the development side. Maybe I can find out more when I am back in on monday .

Any chance to get it working on an "ASUS Infinity"

So does the GameKlip work with the Nexus 4 or did Google screw us

So what's the word?

Moot point if you have root access. If you do then you can use the Sixaxis app to not only enable native gamepad support, but create touch profiles that let the controller work with games that don't have any gamepad support.
I'm amazed at the hoops people jump through to get such a developer-centric phone, a phone whose custom ROMs are almost identically as stable as stock, and then post on a forum like XDA... but are still afraid of rooting their phone.

You know, there are other good reasons that people got this phone besides the dev support. The thing is a powerful phone at a killer deal, and should get Google updates hot off the press. I may root my phone, but that's not why I got the Nexus 4, because there are plenty of other phones that can be rooted as well with some really good dev support.

I think this is true of certain people who post on XDA. I believe that if Recovery was more GUI centric then TWRP then it would make people who squirm over the prospect of using a recovery be more inclined to flash roms.

Im with you on this, if youre that worried about it root. Nexus devices are the easiest to root and really damn easy to recover from a mistake. I never really understand what draws people to a developer website only to hear them complain about stock firmware.

Agreed. People don't have the right to complain if they don't do anything about it when the solution is there.
Although I will admit that some people prefer their phones to be stock because they don't have the time to tinker with their phone or are just not tech savvy people. They should stick to more friendly websites like Android Central (no offense)

Yea the phone is powerful and is a good deal from the play store, but its a Nexus....the Nexus line has always been Google's developer platform...to showcase Android's open and free nature...for better or worse this Nexus and version of Android has been tailored a bit more to mainstream users, but its still Google's developer device as such its expected that a user will eventually root their device...and yes there are plenty other phones that can be rooted and have good dev support, but theres a reason the Nexus line has the best dev support out there and why custom roms and google updates come to a nexus before other phones...So I say this whats stopping you or anyone from rooting their device, nothing except yourself, its not like it voids the warranty. Thats the beauty of a Nexus device you're free to do what you want with the device and still have peace of mind that if something goes wrong your warranty is still valid (there are limitations of course, like intentional and accidental physical damage, water damage).

I don't necessarily think that people have to root or flash custom ROMs to enjoy their Nexus devices. I've felt this way since Galaxy Nexus, stock runs really smooth and fast. But of course if you root and flash custom ROM/kernels, the phone will be even better in terms of battery life and speed.
I think at this point, it all comes down to people are afraid to unlock their bootloader and mess with these things. For a first timer, it's definitely scary knowing that you might mess up but the risks of doing so are a lot less, it's easy to avoid by simply taking an hour to sit down and read about the process before they start it. I highly recommend for anyone who are just starting rooting/custom flashing/etc to NOT USE THE TOOLKIT. Yes it looks easy to use, but that's not the point. If you messed something up, will the toolkit have a 1 click button to fix your phone? No. Ultimately, it will lead to those users posting a thread in Q&A about how to fix their phone or mistake their phone for being "bricked" but if they do their research they won't have any problems because they'll know how fastboot will work.

Let's just note this is for BT pads like the wireless PS3. the wired version of the Gameklip will not work w/o OTG as OP asked.

I'm amazed at the hoops people jump through to get such a developer-centric phone, a phone whose custom ROMs are almost identically as stable as stock, and then post on a forum like XDA... but are still afraid of rooting their phone.

Meh, I don't like to root until after a few months, to get a feel for the stock room first.
At least until after an ota first.

I do plan to order the icontrolpad 2 when it does release. I love the ability to play any older games where ever I am and have the clip that can attach easily with analog sticks with buttons. Anyway, since ps3 controllers require root to be compatible over bluetooth, does that apply to any other bluetooth controller?

No. It only applies to the PS3 controllers and WiiMotes. Devices that are designed for android (like MOGA) will work without root.

Do u guys know if the wireless Xbox controllers work? I have that wireless adapter that is used to connect the controller to a PC but if I can plug it into an otg cable would it work with the phone?

That actually does work on most android phones but not the Nexus 4 since it doesn't have OTG.
