Android Apps? - General Questions and Answers

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question but what are the best mind blowing android apps paid/free that would possibly blow OS iphone out the window ??

swype! not available at the market, but you can sign up for the beta at swype.com
also google sky map.

Hmmm. It got to be all of the Google apps. Swype. SIPDroid. Google Voice (lol which is a google app). Springpad.

Yeah, pretty much all the Google apps. Plus the Super Nintendo emulator AutoDesk Sketchbook Mobile Express is pretty awesome too. As for Swype, it was there on my phone when I got the thing (LG Optimus S).
Aside from that, I'm new to Android myself so I'm curious to see what other people have to say as well.

Google Earth - Or has that been introduced to iPhone? I can't remember...but I personally LOVE it.

I'm for the emulators such as the nes, snes and the atari. Love the old school stuff.

Yeah! And best: Apple doesn't want emulators on their phone.
And if you need to impress iPhone Users even more, just show them a youtube video inside the browser - one which says "not for mobile devices" in the youtube app. In dolphin mini I open the youtube video, go down the page an choose "Desktop" for this.

[Game] Minecraft level engine test (Update: now can place blocks!)

For those of you who are Minecraft fans, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-9K8ZQTOMY is a video of a guy who got the engine running on his Galaxy S. He released the apk and directions yesterday. The apk is here and directions are here. To install, you install the apk but you also need to extract your .minecraft folder from your pc with the directory structure on your sd card /sdcard/.minecraft/saves/World1. Links to two of my saves, confirmed to work by a friend are here and here. Just extract the zip to your sdcard. The first one is my main save, which I recommend trying, but the second one is a fresh world that is much smaller in case the first one doesn't work. I believe those files are ok to share because they are only saves and this app is in no way currently a replacement for the full game. If anyone finds out differently, I'll gladly take the files down. It is easy enough to use your own files from your own minecraft installation on your PC. Now that he has created a google code project for minedroid solely, here's the new link: code.google.com/p/minedroid He has a new video of the brand new interface.
Btw, THIS IS NOT MY APP, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT OTHER THAN UPLOADING MY SAVES FOR CONVENIENCE.
This is awesome! Works like a charm on my Galaxy S.
Thank you for informing about it

Kind of. It's a render test as a proof of concept for minecraft, a rather popular indie game for the pc.
Textures appear to be messed up using the T-Mobile G2.

Once everything is ironed out, this could be really awesome...possibly even epic!

Define messed up. Glitchy looking or just not what they look like on PC? On all devices, for some reason, the textures don't match the PC version.
Works on my Samsung Galaxy Europa
Works fine on my Europa but the controls are a bit awkward....
I love it lol. Thanks for sharing
Sorry for the bump but I think the new update warrants it.
I....am.....keen! Minecraft rules, I will be definitely giving this a go
Oh god... it's...... EPIC!

I uploaded 2 of my saves in the first post. The first one is my main save but the second is a brand new world like you are asking for.
This is definitely an awesome app.
The controls are a little off for me on my Mytouch Slide, but it's workable.
Asked the creator to see if he can help out with the smaller resoulution. Might get an apk to test.
I kinda wish he would continue on and make it full-fledged... but that's up to Notch and Mojang!

Pocket RPG [xperia play optimised]

anyone tried this yet?
play store link
saw the news on some other site but it seems they've only released the xplay version.
Looks pretty cool, also looks like it is XP exclusive....I may buy it..after I finish DH 2 that is.
I saw the gameplay video on the dev's site and it looks really cool.

Bought this yesterday, it is awesome. THe touchpads works so well and the graphics are bright and crisp and clean. Sat down to play it for a couple minutes, 45 minutes later I was like" oh crap". Really a fun game. And I cannot stress how nice the touchapds work, THe dev did a seriouslt good job with the programming for touchpads. I prefer this to Dungeon Hunter series.....

Not going to comment on the warez part, the game itself is 1.99 on the PLAY store and in my opinion is totally worth it. And not that its a big deal but currently this game is Xperia PLAY exclusive on the market. You want english and Xperia support I highly recommend supporting the developer of the game and buying it, it really is a fun game and @ 1.99 is a steal already (you see that....pun..)

Do you think you can do a gameplay video for it? I just want to see it physically running before I buy it. As it is I may buy it anyways, just want to be sure because I only have 6.85 on my prepaid card atm..and was thinking of getting an.rcon app for my admin duties for my gaming clan.

I do have the screencast app, I can use that to record what I am playing. But be advised that the screencast app makes anything you do on the phone look al ittle laggy. Trust me this game flies.... and with nice graphics to boot. IF people really want to see it let me know and I can do a quick video of it and post a link here. If others have played it please post your thoughts on it as well.
The game boots really fast. Surprisingly I didnt see any lag considering the high graphic and effects etc even if your phone is OC or not.
Imo the only missing feature right now is multiplayer.

So i went back to gingerbread today and I have to say this is one of the best games to come out for some time. I was wondering why i was getting lag spikes and it installed on my sd, moved to phone,no lag at all and it only has a 1.3mb size!

give this a try. as far as roms go, youll have to search for those on your own as it is against xda rules as im sure you know

MAME4droid
Thank you Darunion ..... yes , Im sure i can find some ROM's all on my own lol
BUT if anyone can suggest any better android emulators please feel free to add them
:highfive:
Well I am also looking for good emulators as well. I had Gameboid on my Infuse but when I use it on my Tab, I really do not like it as much. I'm looking for some really good emulators to play snes, GBA, N64, etc... I know i cant post where to find roms, I'm pretty sure I can find roms on my own.
Also is there a better Emulator to play arcade games other than MAME?
MAME comes in two flavours, one which uses the more recent .139 core which offers a wider range of games to play, however mileage may vary.
As far as i know there are no other arcade emulators in development for the Android format, although i have been away from the emulation scene for about a year now i have been an avid user and fan from the mid 90s, following both Console, Computer and Arcade emulation from the days of 'Shark', 'Sparcade' and 'Hive'.
If, however, you are looking for other systems, then perhaps you would like to try Frodo which covers the Commodore computers and offers excellent compatability.
You also have Marvin, which is an excellent ZX Spectrum/128 emulator - Marvin actually hooks upto WOS - world of Spectrum and allows you to play the games direct on your Tab.
And if you fancy a real trip, Colem is a great CBS Colecovision emulator.

Only thing i can really think of is..... what controller would be best for my tab/games ?
I do have some other questions but this isn't the forum for it ( kinda involves turning a SGT 10 into an old skool arcade machine ) but as i said i will save it for another forum and time
I like using my ps3 controller, if you are rooted but if not then a wired 360 controller will do the job.
I like the ps3 cont. Better because theres no wire sticking out of my tablet

It 'can' be done with the Icade which was originally released for the Apple Ipad.
Effectively it turns the tablet into a mini arcade cabinet with, what looks like a mini Wico joystick and buttons et al.
It looks fantastic although i have never actually used one.

When will people learn that ANY developer making anything on Android is a pain in the ass for them. Yes iOS gets more updates but that's because they are developing for a very small number of phones. Anyone got a count of the total number of Android phones, me thinks it might be a f'in lot!
1.8 GB? Is it really that great?

I can deal with them releasing the games waaaay latter than iOS even if its dumb... but a quick glance at their facebook page, they have deals on games, majority of the time almost newly released, whereas nothing for android.

Yeah...bought and refunded...Didn't seem worth the $0.25 for the size and gameplay.
I got stuck with the purchase, didn't play it with enough time to see how not worth the 25cents it was.
Maybe when playing it on a tablet it'll be better. But it feels so cluttered too Mich on screen, camera right behind batman.

More than worth it!
Excellent graphics, sound, voice acting and controls. High resolution textures take up a lot of space but definitely worth it. Would like to see more variety in combat. $0.25 is a must buy, even to just show off the graphics.
Use the six axis app and create a touch profile. I use it for almost all my games on my galaxy tab.
