I'm sure this is the wrong subreddit to post this in as it probably has no relevance to my Skyrocket, but maybe someone has had a similar problem? Or maybe can provide insight into a better forum for such a question.
Regardless, I recently moved over all of my apps, etc. to my Skyrocket from my Atrix. I setup FPSe just like on my Atrix, set the save states path and the bios.bin path, etc.
The games start up and play perfectly fine and even my previous saves show up, but every time I choose a save state FPSe just crashes and I'm back to my homescreen.
Any ideas?

Hey all a friend of mine told me of this great website...www.icefilms.info...It lets you stream movies right to your windows or mac comp. and even smart phones. Problem is I can't find a way to get it to work for the g tab. It uses a couple of programs and they are as follows:
-DivX web player, which compresses the video
-Grease monkey (monkey script), which reads the file to play the video
-ICE Quick stream, which allows you to stream video from megaupload and
2shared
I see that other ice film members got Grease monkey to work with IE, Firefox, Safari, and Google chrome. I found another user who got it to work with Ubuntu (although you had to jump through several hoops to make it work, seemed kinda difficult)
So my question is, how do I get this to work on my g tab? (I'm pretty new at this but I tried to download all the browsers since flashing my unit with tnt lite 2.2 and I keep getting an error message). So do I have to flash a new OS like windows, OSX, Ubuntu, or Linux? or is there a way to keep my android platform? (which I really like cause of the app store and I don't want to lose t
It seems like a real difficult question (to me anyway) but for anyone who can help I thank you a million times in advace
Why don't you go the smartphone route? The Android browser is not equal to Google Chrome or other browsers as it is more limited in functionality.
If the requirements are all 3 apps listed above, then you most likely need a different OS (or choose the smartphone option).
Have you tried the thread about playing on Android phones?

No I haven't but will check that right now thanks, as for the smart phone way....just didn't want to do that cause if i'm watching a movie and someone calls it interferes with the movie also wanted to take advantage of the dock with the HDMI out on it to hook to my tv. I'll let you know if that thread works....thanks again
It worked thanks. I remember reading this post a couple weeks ago, but when it was talking about doing it on the phone I didn't think it would work on the g tablet. Like I said I'm pretty new at all this stuff but learning real fast with some great help. I am going to post a thread how to do it cause there are 2 different ways, you can use the yx player or you can watch it right on megaupload.

Sorry to apparently flout the warning about poking my noobish nose in to post about something non-ROM related, but since this is a development and hacking section, I figure I must be in the right place.
I've been googling and futzing around with build.prop to no avail, so I figure I should ask someone with a clue before I go and kill my install or even brick my phone, I dunno.
Is there any sort of hack on this file that tells Play what CPU/GPU/etc you have but also says, I'll be the judge of what's compatible, thanks?
Or is there some other method?
Maybe some folks have started a Play mirror on the sly...? Surely I'm one of millions who are cheesed off about not having any way around this silliness.
Two possibilities, right?
Either there's an answer, or this is an issue which deserves the attention of folks with the talent to address it.
Anyone care to give me a clue which it is?
Well, here's a workaround of sorts: try to find what you're after at mobile.brothersoft.com, where the site simply asks you what your phone is, and lets you save it wherever.
If you want to try another model, don't bother choosing a different one via the site's controls, because the initial drop-downs you identified your phone with are no longer available (instead you have to choose from pages and pages of poorly-identified entries, half of which are missing pics). Just delete your cookies for that site and choose again.
Play told me Google Goggles wouldn't work for some reason; I told the Brothersoft site my Galaxy Mini was a Pop 1559 (pretty similar as far as I can tell), downloaded the app, and bingo.
Now to have a look for all that other stuff Google told me wouldn't work...
...Actually, there's no need to tell the Brothersoft site any lies; it doesn't enforce Google's 'incompatibility' call, or even tell you about it.
Why did it take me so long to come across that joint after searching high and low for a fix? I tried enough angles... seems both obvious and obscure at the same time.
Hi all, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this. But I hope the Mods will replace it where appropriate.
I just was wondering if there is a way to stop that annoying reloading of web pages when I push the browser to background process in my old Android 4.0.3 device. It so consumed data. Is there any way to keep the pages in memory or something?
Thanks
Hi,
As far as I know, it's because of Android cleaning unused programs from memory (RAM) when it's getting full, and on lower specs phones it happens pretty quickly, although I don't have accurate numbers here.
It's a core feature of Android, so I'm not sure there is a way to bypass, limit it or whitelist programs, perhaps on rooted phones, but I'm eager to know if it's possible.
But, is it the same on newer devices? I hope not, cos it's so lame.
So that's it... I just can't do anything unless I root. Hmmm...
Thanks for your comment though.
I can't answer for sure, but on all my devices it's the same problem, even under KitKat.
I suppose my RAM isn't enough, but someone would have to confirm if the problem still exists on high end devices like S4 or G2.
I don't know what you'll get here by rooting your device, cause all of mine are rooted but sometimes I still get the problem.
Well at least you can delete some bloatware so it's never a bad idea if you feel confident rooting the phone.
For repro, I usually do this, between each step, just press the Home button to return to the home screen :
- Launch a heavy game such as Dead Trigger 2 or Real Racing 3, or even a smaller one like Subway Surfers
- Launch Chrome, open something simple like Google News for mobiles
- Open the camera, no need to take a pic but just open it and go back to home straightaway
- Open Gmail, or another mail app
- Open Play Store
- Try to go back to your game (or browser)... on all of my devices I lose my current level, as it's as I've force quitted... yeah that sucks for low end or old devices like mines, but I don't think there is a workaround.
Just to say, on my iPod Touch 3 I get a better experience for games, although I have to go through reloading on Safari tabs.
Hi Everyone,
I have a Nook Glowlight+ device which i bought for my 60 year old father.
He needs a device to browse the web with, and regular LCD/Amoled hurts his eyes.
I successfully rooted the device, it runs Android 4.4.
"No refresh" mode allows smoother browsing on an E-ink screen like in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7JjllImjM
I know it has been done somehow for the device's previous version (Nook touch):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502723
I am not an expert, but i found there are files that define the various display modes, they start with the name "WAVEFORM_MODE_X"
I know the one that defines the "no-refresh" is "WAVEFORM_MODE_A2".
Does anyone have an experience with these types of devices?
Does anyone have an Idea how I can configure it?
Any Kind of help would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
Possible solution

It might be a bit late for this, but for anyone who is reading, the NOOK Simple Touch NoRefreshToggle does indeed work with the glowlight plus. it's not perfect, but it certainly helps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22800284#post22800284
If you get any messages suggesting that NoRefresh crashed, It seems that they can be ignored. Interestingly enough, it remains in effect.
PS: I recommend checking "Start Service on Startup" in NoRefresh Settings so that you do not need to reapply the service manually upon every reboot.
PPS: Grayscale remains in effect, scrolling in many apps will still cause noticeable refresh, but seemingly less. When swiping through the pages of a NOOK e-book, I only experienced minor refresh in graphic novels. text only books did not need to refresh at all.
Hope this helps someone!
Disclaimer: Like with everything and everyone else, you try this at your own risk. You will probably be fine, but it's not on me if you mess up your device. This will likely be a one-time post, so don't waste your time waiting for me. Hell, I posted this practically on a whim. Still though, good luck!
Edit: You may want to hold off on this. It's pretty glitchy, so it is going to need some configuring.
Hello XDA,
I am an iPhone Jailbreak user, who has always been curious about the capabilities of an Android phone to see if it matches upto anything the Jailbroken iPhones can do in my own perspective. I've posted on other communities before to ask these questions but since I got no real good answer, I decided to buy an old Nexus 4 phone (running v5.1.1 i believe) to see what the Android can do myself.
Now, I've noticed that with these "Dual Screen Browsers", specifically the "Dual Screen Browser" and the "DualScreen" app has this capability of when you have a Flash Video playing, and if you go back to the Home screen, it continues to play the video in the background. My understanding was for Android, because it uses an OOM memory management system, playing videos as if it remained in the foreground should not be possible, but some how these two apps are able to do this.
I also realized the app "Floating Apps" also achieves a similar effect of playing any Flash videos in the background. although for this it seems like it leaves a tiny icon floating around the phone. which seems totally fine. i would assume this behavior can be made available to all apps with an option to disable this feature (including games)
Could anyone shed light to how these three apps works, and what allows them to do this? Can this behavior be mimic'd for things like a Game app?
Or could anyone point to a better forum to ask these questions?
Since I now have an Android phone I can actually try out whatever suggestions may pop up so this is exciting.
Thank you all in advance.
