Theme and Apps - HTC ChaCha

This is a placeholder

Got to start somehere

chacha users, please post working app and games names here. as this phone is landscape phone i believe not all apps run perfectely

Apps
Hi,
I am planning on perhaps buying the ChaCha. However, I was wondering whether apps work normal on the screen, due to the landscape mode. (Angry Birds, doodle jump etc.)

Angry Birds and doodle jump work great.

Yes all version of angry birds works great.... i tried installing talking tom, the performance is very poor, tam cannot repeat what we talk.... anyone experienced this?
Also tried installing 'Yoo Ninja!', the game started in upside down orientation :-(

I personally found playing Doodle Jump annoying as you had to rotate the screen in an awkward position. I hope developers are trying to fix the landscape mode issues.

Some apps aren't displayed properly on this phone. I don't play games so this isn't a big deal. Problem is, my Skype app looks a little weird. Here's an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, the icons aren't displayed properly so I thought they would be if I scrolled down, but this is not the case.
Someone download the app and let me know if you have the same problem.

You can add under games these that run perfectly in landscape:
They Need to be Fed
Speedix 3D
Pool Break Pro
And applications:
Root Explorer

Is there any application for making albums for pictures?
I'd like to separate pictures in different albums...
Thanks!

Because of this Skype issue I've switched to IM+ and that runs smooth as silk; also removed Yahoo Messenger and ended up with some more free space! Give it a go.

Thanks. Did you get your phone rooted? With xtc clip i presume?
I made a mistake. Fieldrunner HD runs perfectly. It's Gun Bros that refused to run.
Also installed Camera360 Ultimate. Works well in landscape.

Unfortunately I didn't root the phone yet (I have to find a guy in Bucharest that owns an XTC Clip; he's doing the s-off for around 9-10 euro, rather than buying one for myself, which is 40 euro), but root explorer works anyway, apart from letting you browse through system files and system folder. You can browse and manage the sdcard and a few other phone folders.

Do a factory reset then reinstall all your apps and move them to SD card. That should clear a lot of memory.

[APP] Phone Genie - A GSMArena app for Android to look up device specification

Whenever I need to look up on a phone specification, I automatically visit gsmarena.com. They have a large set of devices in their database and the data is presented in a pleasing manner as well. But the problem is that they don't have a mobile optimised page and as a result it is tough to checkout their website from a phone. To read the complete specification, you need to pan from left to right to left. And this worsens when you are trying to compare 2 devices side by side.
With Phone Genie I aim to provide a solution to this issue. This app presents the GSMArena content in a way that is suitable for your device screen. It also allows you to compare 2 devices side by side, without all the left-right-left panning headache. Please checkout the screenshots attached.
Phone Genie is available on Android Market for free for all devices with 1.6 and above. This is only our second app so there will be bugs and we got a lot to learn. Please try the application and post your comments. I hope you guys will find it useful.

Thank you
I have 2 suggestions:
1. ability to move to SD
2. Ad-free version at a cost
I would sincerely like to thank author egzthunder1 who wrote about Phone Genie in the XDA blog. It sure gave the opening I never dreamed of.
I also realise that many of you guys tweeted and retweeted, passed the word to friends regarding the app. Phone Genie crossed 3000 downloads in the first 3 days. It may not be as big as some of the apps posted here but this being my 2nd app, the confidence this download count gives is immense. Big thanks, guys.
@nicky041192, I thought the app being around 350 KB will comfortably fit within internal memory. If the data part gets bigger and bigger, I shall enable App 2 SD. And I would love to offer an ad-free paid version but I am not sure if GSMArena will like the idea. Moreover Android developers from India cannot sell apps yet.

Can you just not add App2SD in anyway? I like to move as many apps to my SD card despite the size.
Contact GSMArena for permission. You could always give them a small percentage of all sales. I just think the ad takes up a bit of room.
I found a bug,I have lock orientation on. It locks the orientation on the main screen but after I had made a search, it rotates, even though I have orientation lock on... Kind of annoying... I'm using my HTC Wildfire with official froyo.

Alright I will enable App2SD in the next update. In the meantime, if you have rooted your Wildfire, you can forcefully move apps 2 SD by installing one of those Move2SD Enabler apps that require root.
I am planning to get in touch with GSMArena once the user verdict of the app comes out. Judging by the current response, the app is a success beyond my expectations. Phone Genie has crossed 5000 downloads in 5 days. The only promotion we got so far is the article on XDA blog. The power of XDA community is quite visible.
Regarding screen rotation, the device comparison screen needs landscape mode as you cannot fit specification tables of 2 phones side by side in portrait mode. Now when you press the back button, it takes you to the previous screen, which is the compare search activity. Now if we did not enable both orientations for that screen, the user will have to go back and forth from portrait to landscape to portrait, every time a comparison is done. This issue was indicated during the beta testing among friends and family.
Many people lock orientation on their phones to prevent other applications like SMS clients, ebook readers, news apps etc from switching to landscape while reading in bed. But generally everyone liked the idea of Phone Genie allowing both modes as orientation will change anyway during comparison screen, while still allowing the users to keep orientation lock intact for other apps. Which is why I had to override the lock mode. If more people find it inconvenient, I will set it to obey orientation lock.
Just dropping in to say I released a new update today which will enable Move to SD card option. Along with that are some bug fixes and minor UI changes.
How about removing ads during the landscape screen mode when comparing phones? Even on a big 4.3" screen, the ad really messes up the view.
Ads on normal portrait sections of the app is fine. I know you need the ads for income.... Just think about it. Thanks.

[APP] OnLive Viewer from HTC Flyer (works on Xperia Play)

It looks like the OnLive Viewer app from the HTC Flyer has been ripped and the .apk available for other devices. You can find the original topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138194
And the post with the .apk is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15055178&postcount=10
I saw this the other day and decided to give it a shot on my Xperia Play. The first time I tested it, it would not connect. However, I tested it again this morning and was able to login and watch videos that others had recorded. Everything ran pretty smooth and looked pretty good.
Even though this isn't an official release, I think that there could be a lot of potential for OnLive with Android devices, especially the Xperia Play. I look forward to seeing where they take it.
I just got this the other day and can say im excited. I use onlive daily and think everyone should try it i have over 20 games and the microconsole and bought the xperia play with hopes of onlive for it.

There was some news that Sony Ericsson gave some money to the people at Onlive(even tho HTC gave so much more). Onlive for the xperia play would be perfect with and without their new HDMI cradle
Any chance on getting this on the Android Market? would be excellent so if there are any updates released we can get them automatically via the market.
Thanks for the app though
can't wait til we get a player app. this phone + onlive would end my productivity for life.

OnLive is a cloud based gaming application. It's primary use is so mid to low end computers can play top tear games that there computer could not play in the native way. This application is a viewer, it will let you watch brag clips, and live feeds of your OnLive friends playing. You can also watch trailers of games you may want to buy. The hope is soon OnLive will bring out a full flegged client, allowing us to play games like Dirt 3 and Deus Ex 3 on our xperia play

It already is possible. HTC is launching an OnLive version of the Evo 4G. It comes with the first playable OnLive client, HDMI out and a special OnLive controller. Once its released, because we have a H/W pad, the client can most prob be ripped from the Evo for us

when you open the viewer and go to gallery to watch people playing the games. It is LIVE. That is why it is so different from you tube. A LIVE stream of the game being played is the viewer. Being able to send the controls back to the server makes it a player.
Hence, netflix streaming + video games + plus hardware controls on our phone = win. Go to google and lookup onlive, or for a demo that requires nothing to install, to see how a service like this could work, go lookup gaikai. that lets you do game demo's for things like crysis 2 in your browser, using your keyboard/mouse to control, at full resolution, even if your computer can't handle the game.
Just tried it on my Xperia Play, it needs a steady connection to run (WiFi-N with good speed).

hi
played this app with 4 friends at work and it's brilliant... have some feedback for you:
1 - table (asus transformer)
4 - players (htc desire, htc sensation, galaxy nexus, htc desire hd)
vibrate or sound on device when action is required. example, on device showing user's hand, whenever they are required to action, vibrate.
display text based on orientation. e.g. two players, text can appear upside down.
ability to see table on devices showing hands.
better display of what hand won...e.g. state on table, garpunkal won with high card... steve won with a full house (aces over kings).
Awesome app though, would be great to see continued development. Definitely useful for people travelling that don't have cards/chips, but have their phones on them.

If you don't see the App in the market, it might be because your device doesn't have OpenGL ES 2.0 (about 10% of all devices accessing the Android Market).

Awesome that you like it! We have to admit that this project was just for a university task, so we just published it in the market as-is and didn't really expect that it will be really played (only geeks have so many Android devices). So it's awesome to hear that it's really used
All of your suggestions sound reasonable, but the further development of the app really depends on how much feedback we get and we will consider your ideas when publishing the next update of the app
By the way, a sound is already played on the players device when it's his turn, but vibrating is certainly better. And yeah, the winning hand is dismissed a little bit too fast, so text based information would help to understand what's going on.
Which text should we display based on orientation? We display the players names in the right orientation and also his last action, but not the chips if I remember correctly.
Cool app, was just playing with my friends. ^^
It's taking quite a bit of space tough.
thanks for responding...
This app is very useful for a pocket poker travel game... easier than having a stack of cards and chips!
Would definitely like an update on this!!
After playing it again today I have some additional feedback:
- A console would be nice, where it all the action is shown, with for example, Player won with Straight to K.
- Vibration would be good instead of the sound, when it's my turn.
- Players could be better distributed around the table
since I downloaded your app I play poker=) thnx

Must Have Apps and Games

Looked but couldn't find. What are the must have apps and games for you guys? Post in a similar fashion so we can all know what you're talking about. I'll go first.
APPS:
ES File Explorer - File explorer. It's decent, haven't had problems with it.
GTunes - Download music straight to your phone. Used to be on the marketplace, can't find it now. Google is your friend.
MixFM Cyprus - Streaming MixFM Cyprus. They have a few famous reseident DJs and their program sh*ts on any US station that I can find. Give it a try if you want, my friends are hooked.
Pandora - needs no explanation.
SoundHound - It's like Shazam but I like the interface more. Recognizes music tracks through the mic.
GAMES:
9MM HD - It's an action game with insane graphics and decent story. Reminds me of GTA, it's pricey but worth it if you're into this kind of stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azIYhb4XkpQ
GTA3 - They actually managed to get the full game working on Android, and it works like a charm on the Sensation. If I could have one game only, this would be it, no doubt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtbUORusNvo
Modern Combat 3 - First person shooter, think Battlefield/COD. Really good graphics, decent story and controls. You won't believe it's running on a phone when you see the opening scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdF0EvDwH-Y
Real Racing 2 - If you are a fan of Forza or Gran Turismo, get this asap.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kl_9Y3e0m0
APPs:
-sorry bro, but have you ever tried "DI Radio"? that sh*ts on any streaming music APP. Wide variety of music, for free, you can listen all day.
-"n7player", cool music app...i used to use powerAMP but now i switched to this. it has a sweet looking widget that suits my layout just well. for who cares about bass boost, it's there, just like powerAMP.
-"Swiftkey X", made my typing experience hella easier.
-I like "BIG! caller ID", better than the standard caller ID screen.
-"NotifierPro Plus" gives a sweet windowsphone 7 like notifications for most of emails, messaging, social network apps, it slides down from the status bar, gentle and informative.
-"Color Note" is a must for me, has the nicest note widget i've tried.
-"Brilliant Quotes", nothing better for inspiration and knowledge. can be set as a widget, i personally use it on my lockscreen using widget lockscreen.
-"Boot Manager" to boot ROMs from my SD card, good way to try out new ROMs without the hassle of backing everything up, and probably want to go back to my previous ROM. works on the sensation
-"greader pro" everything i need to know, right there.
-i use "WeatherFlow" for my weather updates and information, looks nice and different.
-Best alternative launcher, "Apex launcher".
GAMES:
-"Canabalt HD", it has the rush that makes me keep on playing, super best with good quality headphones on.
-"cut the rope experiments", i just never get bored of this game.
-"iStunt2", it's so much fun, try it.
-"Riptide GP", i wish we could get the effects the version for the ONE X has, but still pretty good.
-waiting for "DarkMeadow"
Try Audio Manager instead of Pandora.
..
APPS:
2xclient for pc terminal connection (remote desktop) - it's very good and free!
antutu benchmark - for testing roms, sd card speed
battery monitor widget - great tool for battery monitoring, it's worth its price
es file explorer - best free file explorer (ftp, dropbox, lan supoort)
ezpdfreader - the best pdf reader!
gentle alarm - very good, gentle alarm
imdb
ivona TTS - natural voice, it's beta and free for now
my tracks
premote droid - remote control for your pc via bluetooth or wifi (need daemon on pc)
system tuner pro - complete tool for rooted device. it can do almost everyting! worth every penny
tapatalk - great forum app
GAMEZ:
steam birds - good gfx and music
spirit HD - innovative action game with beautiful graphics
osmos
Have you tried the game Cytus? It's a rhythm game and I think it's pretty fun. Nothing like the usual kind.

I would recommend "multicon widget". 4 apps in 1 icon
really nice, best widget IMHO
Nice thread to be honest. Recommend tango. Like viber but better

Thanks guys, I got some of the apps you suggested.
I just found about this app X launcher pretty cool! check it out, it's self explanatory once you check it
What emulators do you guys use? I wanna play some Contra
Games - Where's My Water, Temple Run
Hello did someone try machinarium ? It s a good games and it run with my sensation
Well I use gameboid, nesoid and n64oid. All run very smoothly, I'm quite impressed.
Also dead space, Skype, and rage reader for entertainment.
For system/dev stuff I like
Droid wall - firewall for your phone
Root explorer
System tuner
Root uninstaller pro - system app uninstaller.
Sdmaid - bit like system tuner but does sdcard as well.
And phone overheat- alarms when battery is reaching critical levels.

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN FORUM THREAD
The developer should be adding Xperia Play Controls but as its an early Beta (Would not of thought it by the quality) is has basic options in the app (game in full of course) you can use USB controllers if know your input event (e.g dev/input/event?). I have tried mapping the buttons on Xperia Play the D-pad works and you can map Cross. If anyone finds a better way of mapping to play please post your findings.
Short Description:
The legendary game id Software on the Quake III engine is now on Android. Description: Return to Castle Wolfenstein - PC game, first person shooter, developed by id Software, Gray Matter Interactive, Nerve Software and published by Activision November 20, 2001 exclusively for personal computers running operating systems Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS. player will have to go in the shoes of Agent-2 from the organization Office of Secret Actions (OSA) named William "BJ" Blazkovich, who was the protagonist of Wolfenstein 3D . by this port - I, native-part of the port based on kwaak3, and JNI + Java part I rewrote again, because I could not live with krivosti kwaak3 (though maybe I'm kind of surpassed it in terms of the curvature). As you know, Return to Castle Wolfenstein under GPL license, source code will be available after publication on Google Play. However, until such time as I am satisfied with the rating on Google Play, I'll be posting the source code only on price support (under license), and the Russian Post ... you get the idea. On HTC One X port is well tolerated (there was only one lag of up to 15 FPS for the whole game) and I was playing on the phone to start the game, you must throw the Main folder from the folder with the game for PC / sdcard/rtcw4a / main I hope you bought the original game (it's worth it), and if so, do not forget to patch to the latest version. Or buy a game on Steam as I am. Please do not embed in my post direct links to pirated versions of the game, it's not good. But links to my posts with links - no problem. All suggestions please leave exclusively here, drugs should not be written, the box is clogged.

Wow looks cool !
I seriously so want Doom 3 though !
OMG, this is my favorite of iD's work. If this guy gets RTCW working well with the Xperia Play touchpads, I don't know what I'll do! <...probably donate $$>
YES!!!!! Maybe these guys can use similar steps to bring us Jedi Knight 2 next
Awesome!!!!!

I tried this on a 7" generic tablet and it works very smooth, control is a lot better if you set "Always run" to OFF, and bump the mouse sensitivity to your liking.
Still, I tried using a mouse through OTG(I checked "Hide onscreen buttons and enable mouse" option before starting the game), and I can see the Android mouse cursor in-game, but I cannot use it to click on "Play", "Options", etc.
If I swipe my finger across the screen I can move the in-game mouse cursor(different than the Android one), but I cannot select anything, as the onscreen buttons are disabled...
is there a way to set in English, whe i press button i can't shot with the gun for example can you help me

Where did you get the Original game (Sd Data) from? Sounds like you need to delete Language Pak files which are not English. The app is complete English menus in app and in game for me with my version from Steam.
files which are to be put in the folder (rtcw4a)??
I installed the game on my pc and directory (Program Files) I have the folder: Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
And there in a lot of files that weigh a total of 627 MB.
Which of all I have to put those files?

The same guys from 4pda.ru are porting it. On youtube there must be a prealpha video. Oh and by the way found yesterday in the Internet a apk which is about 50mb. Its a little piece of the game for just showing the gameplay where you can walk around and look at mutants and so on. Must say it looks perfect, smooth as butter( but only touch atm) Believe its called projectS.T.A.L.K.E.R.
So from what i saw this absolutely will be a hit.
Well with the final beta apk the game works fully now. Yay. Now to make a gamekeyboard layout for it. I'll let you know once its ready.
