Words with Friends - Scrabble - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Hi,
Just wanted to let you all know about this app that I found..
It's basically Scrabble.. it's called "Words with Friends"..
You can play "locally" - with someone in the same room..
Or you can play over the air, by registering an account with your email address, and getting your friends to do the same, you can play against them, wherever they are, at your own pace..
it's mutli-platform too (I've been playing against my Sister - who has an iPhone 4, and my daughter - who has an iPod.. and my Wife - who has a HTC Legend)
It's really slick and works a treat.. only problem is that it's so damned addictive, that you end up with your screen on loads and that kills the battery!
I currently have the free edition, but think I might invest in the full version cos the ads are a bit irritating.

Try wordfeud, I personally found that to have a better UI (Its only for android afaik)

What exactly do u mean locally??
via BT or wifi....or online?

i think hes prob on about locally as in just passin the phone about to mates when its ther turn?

Love it and its multiplatform so more people

Apps you're dying to have?

I was wondering what upcoming announced (and a bit unannounced) apps you guys are looking forward to have?
For me all I care about right now is:
Trillian for Android
WhatsApp for Android
and hopefully a real Windows Live Messenger app. One that allow file transfers like on WinMo/BB and I can atleast change my avatar.
Grindr.
10char
It's a game I can't live without on the iPod - Jabeh.

Skype! Skype! Skype!
I'd love to have a WhatTheFont application on my Android phone. There is a version for iPhone (of course ).
I'd like to have a service like microsoft myphone

MyBackup Pro does that, I think.
A real WLM app would be godlike.
Trillian.
Skype usable on Wifi and 3G on any network.
Some more games.

NS Train time table thats stored on the device instead of the net.(Roaming 3G is a tad too expensive for me =P)
STEAM Community (Too bad this will probably never happen)
And finally something thats not really an app, Hotmail Live ActiveSync.
Tilt to live

Would be nice if one big company would come out with an Android app before an Iphone app.....Android so much better than apple...oh well Android still in its infancy.....
Is it too much to ask for a proper port for angry birds on the Android? Doodle Jump's port was hilariously bad.
I guess Skype / WhatsApp is pretty good. helps me and my girlfriend saves some money.
but basically anything that needs to be paid on the market, i wants it. not supported in my country for purchases yet ):
Well, I got the WhatsApp Beta. So I can kinda like cross that off. Too bad I only got like 6 friends that use it

Is the Archos 35 Home Connect rootable?

http://www.archos.com/products/ah/archos_35_hc/index.html?country=us&lang=en
So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.

Music production

Hi all,
Anyone know of any decent music production apps? I've got Uloops but compared to Tabletop for the iPad its pretty dull.
Hope there is something a bit more feature packed avaiable on coming soon.
Cheers
I picked up SPC when it was free a few weeks ago on the Amazon Appstore. Check out the video on the market page, it's a lot of fun.
I don't know of anything in Android comparable to GarageBand on the iPad but if you do find something along those lines (or anything else of interest for that matter), be sure to post it back here!
Caustic is pretty good
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.singlecellsoftware.caustic
Nice, cheers for both of them, will give them ago.
There's a decent app called Plasma Sound HD which is kind of like a synth pad. Worth looking at if you havent already, hopefully it will work in conjunction with some of these apps
Try Reactable.
I can't figure out how to use it but I only gave it a try for 2 minutes. It's $10 but should work similarly to this:

Cool to read this, gonna look in to them. Whas looking for it myself as well.

Chordbot lets you play around with chord sequences and provides various musical styles to dress up the chord progressions. I found it helpful for musical compositions and trying out different melodies to go with the chords.
What I like in chordbot and similar apps is... there is only the name of the chord and no information what notes it contains. I never got to learning all the chords names I just use them by intuition (I'm self learned, you can hear my music on Jamendo - search for Tomasz Kucza - and in my games). On Android I tested only Caustic - it's quite fine for fun.
So, what was the ultimate verdict?
Pros and/or Cons....?
Some of these apps are a bit pricey, and I was curious to see how they worked out.
Also, what are you creating? (Genre)
Thanks in advanced.

After trying a few apps I'd say it's a waste of money - these apps are nowhere close to DAWs like Ableton/FL/Logic etc. Maybe FL Mobile will be something good, but if you really need to produce music get a laptop.
I agree they are all a waste of money for producing but they are ok for just for fun.
Might plug my pad into my studio and get caustic used as a synth cubase as theres a sound on it i want to use in a track.
Apart from that they are all a bit of fun

[Android] Droid Anime 2 - Watch Anime

We have updated Droid Anime. Droid Anime is an application that streams anime videos to your android phone.
You can download the latest version here
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droid.animev2
If you want more anime like Naruto, Bleach, please consider buying our Pro version from our website
http://droidanime.com/Pro
We are currently testing the app before re-releasing it in the market. Would love to have your feedback.
The videos do not work on Low Res devices
Decent app and decent video quality.
It would be nice if you put up currently airing shows and just generally more shows, because 18-19 shows - which I've already seen most of - just doesn't cut it.
Nexus S i9023
Thanks. Can I have your android device model?
We just started adding yesterday. We'll be adding all over this month and the next. If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me a list of Anime we should add?
We're adding Naruto and Bleach now. Taking too long due to the large number of episodes that we have to upload and make compatible with the app.
Ive been searching an app like this for weeks. I'll try it later.
Suggestions:
How about offline watching?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
You mean downloading Anime from the app and watch it later? We were planning to add that feature. But, since it'd put a heavy load on our servers once everyone starts downloading, we thought we'd leave that feature for the next version by which time hopefully we'll have more servers.
IF you meant watching anime from the app when there is no internet connection, that won't be possible since the app size would exceed Gigabytes. No one would download it.
Would be cool if you post here if the app works on your device.
Thanks
I have no comment

Let me ask one obvious question before even trying this: are they dubs or subs?
Because dubs suck and I will only watch subs.

Nice! Thank you for this. Works great on Sensation.
Thanks for testing it out guys.
@Orbiting234, Negrobembon
We're mostly concentrating on Subs. Except for maybe DBZ/GT and Pokemon since these two Anime were enjoyed by everyone in English Dub.
@Wolfteam20
Once we finish adding anime, we'll release the app in other languages.
@Zephiel
Thanks for finding that. We found that there is no HSOD episode 13 and we linked it by mistake.
@MasterFace
We'll be adding anime series with titles from now on. Yes, we did notice that the tap highlight is not quite right in the Anime index, but we're not able to find out why.
Thanks
Works great here. Only bummer is the small GUI.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks for this. Working great on my droid charge.
Suggestion: More shows, obviously. Maybe a poster of the show, and then the episode list. I think that would look awesome, and would make the app distinctive from other streaming apps. Maybe take the approach that EZ Stream TV took, that app is awesome.
Looks nice so far
Even though I've already seen them, I recommend you to add Nichijou and Cromartie Highschool. Both because they are fun and is still enjoyable on a small screen.
And maybe a design upgrade - especially the icon - would be in it's place.
If I have more, I'll just use your site.
Works on Samsung Fascinate 2.3.5.
As many times I have seen it, Evangelion should be added.
where is the link for download ?
thanks

Next nexus device is from sony ???

Hi
here are my toughts about the next nexus device
isn't it weird google is naming there store play and there where some rumors that Android 5.0 will be gaming optimized.
so i think the next nexus device is a Playstation i have seen a pattern in the realeses of Playstations and if the will hold the pattern this year there will be a new release
Playstation:1994
Playstation 2 : 2000
playstation 3 :2006
Playstation Nexus ; 2012?!
but if it isn't going to be a nexus it still is a nice idea the google tv experience with the gaming of a playstation. PSN is crashing to much and what if the make it and say all the games you buy for the Playstation you will automaticly get a mobile version of the game for on the go.
it is even logic;
Microsoft has a desktop, gaming and mobile os
Apple has a Desktop Tv and mobile os
Google can get desktop gaming mobile and tv os

Dood ...... no offence but did you use your own crystal ball to work all this out, or did you just go direct to the font of all knowledge and channel Steve Jobs and ask his opinion. (jking)
I believe HTC went for the channelling option when then need advice specing the new range of handsets ....... so you would have company on the astral plane.
Do you have any actual evidence ........ even spurious or circumstantial to support this idea??
Don't get me wrong am loving the crazed geek commitment thats obviously at the heart of this idea
........ But your BAT**** bro!!!
Be honest are you a Sony fan boy who's expressing a fervent wish????
To be honest, the first thing that came to my mine when I read "Google Play" was the Xperia Play

no fanboy or something maybe my idea's are a bit crazy but think about the idea it would be the best device ever and the pattern every 6 years a new playstation. and i think HTC again for a nexus device let LG/Sony/Motorola once time make it ... ( and maybe i am just stoned)
Sony just released a new psp, I doubt this would ever happen. There is a chance we will see a new playstation console soon but that has nothing to do with android.

You can pretty much guarantee that it won't be a Playstation branded device. Nexus devices are always about the pure-Android ICS: no branding, no themeing, no crap-ware.
This forum needs a facepalm emoticon.

i dont think so never happen!
Nope, I believe that google will choose Motorola, as they now own most of the phone part
