Kobo Vox w/Google Play :) - General Topics

Recieved a nice surprise today, updated my daughters Kobo Vox over wi-fi and lo and behold suddenly it now has google play/apps store and marketplace. Updated a whole lotta apps that were out of date.
Thank you, now I don't have to usb all the apps (getjar was annoying with the vox) and worry about updates.
And for the record yes, its a nice little tablet (birds and jelly defense play quite well) and the screen is perfect when she's on the computer and I 'borrow' it to watch eps of Dr.Who or Torchwood, lol.

Pictures and specs please.
Thanks in advanced!!!

Television on XDA / XDA 2

Maybe im losing my mind, but is it possible to watch real TV on an XDA?
Surely there could be some software that can descramble TV signals picked up by the ariel and put it into a picture on screen.
Wouldnt that be cool? or maybe it already exists!
Yeah, and maybe I could use my portable tv for a pocket pc and cellphone. Or maybe the microwave oven for a widescreen navigation system. The possibilities are endless. :idea:
Thanks for the sarcasm, but using a phone to take pictures, browse the internet and listen to music seemed crazy ideas a few years ago. Now look at what they can do!
If you wanted a phone that only made phone calls you made a silly choice buyin both an XDA and XDA 2. Go back to your Nokia 3210!
Also, I hear there is some sort of add on for a nintendo game boy that does this. So if an underpowered game boy can do it, then why not XDA 2?!
Also... here is a PPC phone that can do it, but is it software or hardware?!

It's not possible on the XDA series, but phones are coming out soon which you can watch tv on. (I'm going to get one!) Samsung are making them.
There is a tv adaptor for compact flash - so you'd have to get the XDA backpack.
got a link about the TV adapter for compact flash? does anyone know if there is an SD version of this on the horson?

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

Easy root as soon as I manually updated to Froyo I went to the marketplace and it was pulled. Now I am stuck with a non-rooted phone :\

Words with Friends - Scrabble

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

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.

[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

Yes, exactly like that. That would be awesome! Anyways it is working on my X8 running MiniCM7.
I don't know why but when I tried to play High School of the Dead episode 13. It says something like I can't play it. I'm using Mx Video Player for playing.

nice app , working on my samsung galaxy s , btw
it would be good if you can add another languages apart of english like for example spanish x.x
Let me ask one obvious question before even trying this: are they dubs or subs?
Because dubs suck and I will only watch subs.

Works great on my droidx2 even tho it doesn't show my device to be supported.

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
