Galaxy on Fire 2... now available FREE

FINALLY
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2THD
Free to download.. only offers 1 solar system. You can buy the rest in app for 14.99.
one more time. FINALLY

Downloading!

so far.. the only problem I found is in the settings menu it looks like the graphics options are formated for a larger screen.. just that last quality slider which is at full by default.. and doesn't seem to slow down the g2x at all...
ARESOME

pretty cool game tho, nice graphics

Just finished my install. Got to the title screen and my phone completely froze up. I launched the game again after a battery pull and got into the menus. Brightness and graphic settings go off-screen. Has anybody else noticed the big black square at the start of the campaign? Looks like a bug or driver issue.
Sent from my G2x using XDA App

When I launch the game it freezes for a second or two but the music still plays. does it resume soon after for you? I just started a new campaign to check on the black box but didn't see anything. if you're on the stock rom, the screen shot still works. can you grab a shot of it?
EDIT: May i just say... this game is BEAUTIFUL!!!

How come charging to my tmobile bill isnt an option in in-app billing? I want to buy it but usually i just put it on my monthly bill.
Sent from my G2X

Beautiful game. Anyone able to change the brightness?

With it being in app billing I wonder if i would have to buy it on both my Xoom and G2X. Would be kinda a ****ty thing for them to do but why else do the in app bill and not a market purchase.

You can change the brightness using the in-game slider? I can move the slider around but the brightness does not change for me, strange.

OK --=SPOILER=--
By story you try to help the ferderation to convoy the transporter ship. they attack you by mistake cuz they thought you where a pirate. then you will be on a space station and some dude out of your past tells you bunch of stuff about the past. so you try to leave the station and it tells you to buy the full version, you can as well go onto the map and see all the solar systems but if you try to access any one of them..... $$$$$
Ohhh reason why no T mobile billing = German company declined the mobile accout billing cuz the have to wait for the payment to clear for 3 days while a credit card goes thru right away.

DL'ed it but not really feeling it. I uninstalled it but am wondering where the initial download data(530mb) is stored so I can delete that as well. Unless it gets deleted when the app is uninstalled. Thanks in advanced..

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

i get a weird problem that went im in the messenger app, if im typing in landscape and then go back to portrait the screen has a weird black overlay and I cant really see anything... it wont go away unless i restart the app... other than that stuff is running fine

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

does gps work correctly??

Camera doesn't work, any suggestions? It will start up and take a picture but then freezes.

get the camera 360 app from the market. it works perfect for me.

GPS works. Not sure if it's more or less stable than Gingerbread though.

Free Android app : Smart Help - Need your thoughts and suggestions

All,
I've developed "Smart Help" a free android app., which has a potential to save a life..,
This Application will monitor your phone’s sensor to calculate the force generated by the device and based on few algorithms the application will determine automatically if you need any help or not. As a result the application will automatically send SMS with your location (you can disable this setting) and will call the phone number that you have selected and it will place the call on LOUD SPEAKER.
I got this idea when I was trying out some android code and though it might help someone., but I need help from you! from the developer community and as a user to improve this app and make it more useful for all.,
I'll be happy if this could help at least one person.,
Available in Play Store: Smart Help Beta
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dee.smart.help
Facebook page for more details and screen shots: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smart-Help/371519172900503
Please give a try and provide your suggestions and questions!! as always thanks for your help!

Wow, Thats a pretty cool app!

I think the main thing will be getting the sensitivity right so that it doesn't go off just because someone stops quickly in a car or jumps down from somewhere or whatever, but great idea.

surely will give it a try

Very good idea. Hope it doesnt start sending sms every time I through the phone an my bed.

I do that all the time... got you covered!!
it has sensitivity adjustment in the settings, which can be updated if it gives false alarm., and every time it will show you an alert screen for 25 sec, before sending distress message.,
it has two level of warning:
1. It detects you / phone fell and will just ask if you need help, it won't automatically call / send message
2. it will detect greater force and will show warning for 25 sec before sending the distress message
3. you can click I'm fine button and the next screen will ask if you need to automatically adjust the sensitivity..

it might be the initial warning., the force has to be high to send the distress message.,
what is the fall detect value in the settings?

It looks like you put alot of thinking and testing into this app to prevent false alarms. Good job will give it a try
Keep up the good work

[Q] Lock screen unlocks just by tapping

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before. Instead of having to slide to unlock I can touch the screen anywhere and it simply unlocks the phone. I want to have to slide to unlock. I have not installed any kind of 3rd party lock screen app. I have the HTC One. I do have a custom ROM but I have not altered any of the lock screen settings.
Thanks for the help all!
Cheers

Unfortunately not. Still searching the web and hoping someone on these forums has a solution. If I do manage to find a fix, I'll post it here. Please do the same

Can't find anything on the web. Funny enough everything out there explains how to make this work via apps. I know this problem has nothing to do with an app.

Fixed it.
For me it was the pebble app. I turned off it's accesability option.
Check accessability on you phone under settings, see if anything is enabled that could be causing it. Worth a shot. Worked for me.

I posted a similar question myself and was redirected here. I had Tasker and Pebble in the accessibility menu and my slide to unlock became touch to unlock.

Definitely would like an explanation as well if someone out there has one.
No idea why an app could cause the lock screen to completely misbehave like that.

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)
