ok, first off im not a developer. Most i can do is some front end web development. im a designer, so most of the time i just expect things to work. that being said, i also understand and appreciate all the hard work that you developers do, this is in no way me complaining about developers. I basically just want to understand a bit more. Why are we able to make Playstation emulators? which to me seems like it would be 10x more complicated than, say... an ipod classic emulator which is no where to be found. to me it seems like you'd be able to create some sort of app that was a framework where the ipod classic OS could run on. now, like i said, i am no developer, and i realize there probably is a completely legitimate reason, i just want to understand that reason. if there isn't, and its just a matter of someone taking the time to do it, this is my plea for that to happen.
now, you may ask "why do you want that? there are perfectly good mp3 player apps on the market if you're not pleased with the stock"
my response is: yes, i know, and if all i wanted was an mp3 player then there really wouldn't be any need for an ipod classic emulator. unfortunately the ipod has a lot more features than just an simple mp3 player. the organization system being a major point, as well as the fact that it is by far the BEST way to listen to audiobooks. the ability to skip through chapters and have chapter titles and remembered playback seem like simple things to me... but i do realize they are the result of lots of hard work. unfortunately no current player on the market can do all of this in one... let alone just the audiobook functions.
so this is why i want an ipod classic emulator, and want to know why there isn't one yet.

To put it onto layman's terms
Its apples copyrighted code so it would be illegal
So even if we wanted to, apple would Sue us and remove it from xda
The PlayStation systems run on a form of Linux, and so do our devices so that also plays a role since it makes porting that much easyer

aah, so Sony doesn't care about being emulated where as apple (due to the fact that it is a product that directly relates) does. that makes sense. but then if its just legal issues... wouldn't it still be around somewhere? legal stuff hasn't stopped people in the past (ie: beautiful widgets) and there are a ton of iphone skins you'd think would be copyrighted.
Emulators work because they don't distribute the copyrighted proprietary content with the emulator. That's why you have to go find a bios file on your own.

For one reason apple will come down on you like none other and the other reason is apple has a unique code, unlike Linux it isn't open sourced so if it was to be done the software would hafya be reversed engineered for our devices
To be honest and no offense to you at all
its just too much trouble for the software
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
aah, i see. so because of the way apple is set up, everything is copyright so you couldn't even make a frame to hold an OS w/out breaking some copyright. ok, well thanks for the info!
Steve Jobs dont like it.
buy an iPod... problem solved...
Just wanted to know what everyone uses theirs for/plans to use theirs for, so maybe we could share ideas and whatnot.
Personally, I use mine for a few reasons.
The first being is that I'm into photography, and while it's nice to have a physical portfolio to walk around with, I like having a digital one to carry around as well. I also use photoshop mobile sometimes to quickly edit photos on the fly to show to people as I'm taking them.
Another reason is for baseball uses of which I have a few. I can keep score on it using iScore, which is a REALLY nice analysis program. I also plan on using it for MLB At Bat where I can watch games live with my MLB.tv account.
I also use it for the widgets. I have it set up as a digital photo frame at work, but my boss thinks it's a great idea to allow me to have the widgets open which show me the scores of my favorite teams, what people are doing on facebook, the news, etc. That way, I'm not wasting time browsing the web while at work, and I can glance over and find out what I want to know. It's also nice to use as a digital photo frame.
And, of course, I use it as a portable media player.
What do you guys use yours for?
My gtab is my primary device for internet browsing when I'm at home. I let my family use the desktop when all I want to do is go on the internet. I stream a lot of video with my gtab. I also use it for casual gaming and emulators like n64, snes and gba. My gtab is great for long road trips too. It keeps the kids at ease and off my nerves. its a portable entertainment device which pretty much replaced my indash dvd player and headrest monitors. I mean I still have them installed in my car but my kids hardly use it anymore because they rather watch the movies I have on my thumbdrive or play snes, psx,gba with a wiimote.
Browsing forums, news sites and looking up IMDB and Wikipedia while watching telly.
Also for keeping up with work email and Gmail when away from my PC. And occasionally reading twitter.
One day I'll get around to trying out video

Jan 4th was the last post!?!??! that was deep in the bowels of the threads huh? I'm sure we have room on the forums to have another "what do you use your "insert device here"" thread lol
10 people probably had the gtab 3 months ago. Now we have 10,000+ new ones coming lol
I doubt all 10,000 units sold will turn into 10,000 new board members. I'd guess a third of that can be arsed to join, fewer still will have the courage to try the new ROMs.
Personally, I intend to do a lot of reading before I post a bunch of n00b threads about Y CANT I PLAY ASTEROIDZ?? or whatever.

What's the board culture concerning the resurrecting of zombie threads? I know some boards frown on it, some boards have an "age limit" (few months, usually) and some boards don't care.
My tablet I strictly a casual device!!!!fun and surf!!!!
web browsing around the house..email..some gaming...movies in the car on the road. beyond that they are somewhat limited. I really can't understand the rush to spend $800 on a newer model that basically does the same thing.
At least its driving down the price on g tablets so i will probably grab a second soon!

I am not saying you cannot start a new thread, I am saying that there are many good info you can find from the old threads. In some cases, you may find something interesting.. We are getting more people now, and in last weeks, I am seeing a lot of new threads/questions. Good info/discussion/threads are quickly buried deep unless they are sticky.

Thanks for asking, as a business tool, a digital dashboard. The quickest way to access my c-panel, website, surf the web and respond to communications.
I use mine to carry invoices, data and software for my computer repair business when I'm on the road. I also use it as a car audio Bluetooth stream device directly to my amps. As well a the obvious to keep up on forums, Facebook and surf. And of course to just root and ROM...

Haha this is currently the job of my Evo, but for that morning poo, when I don't have my contacts in, the bigger screen will be a godsend.
Picked this G-tab up on Woot the other day so I could have some kind of device to use while on dialysis. More than likely I'll use it for heavy web surfing, moderate game play, weather, sports, streaming movies to it, portable media player, etc, etc. I'm really looking forward to getting this device. Not so enthused on having to pick between CyanogenMod, Zpad clean, TnT Lite, or VEGAn tab. Going to be tough.
General lightweight use
My workstation is a desktop. So, I use my Gtab mostly around the office for taking notes in meetings, checking email and a lightweight web browsing platform.
For personal use, I like to play 3D games on it and use it as my main kindle reading device.
I do most of my web surfing on mine.
Bought the dock a while back and started using it as a media center as well.
Plus, got a Gametel so I also use it to play all my old favorite 8 and 16 bit games.
Oh, and I let my nephews and nieces play games on it to keep them off my gaming rig.
Since I bought the G Tablet I rarely mess with my pc anymore outside of Borderlands 2 and Skyrim.
I primarily use mine as a very large very cool alarm clock. But also for browsing the web & email.

Howdy. This is the first post from a lurker.
So, I'm a longtime Android user. I hopped on the platform with my first smartphone, an OG Droid.
Recently though, I've become a little dissatisfied with things in the Android world for various reasons, and I'm torn between upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus or hopping to a new platform.
I'm not really interested in the iPhone, or Apple products in a general sense. Windows Phone looks much more appealing to me. I love the diversity in devices, the direct updates, the UI is gorgeous, and the deep integration with things like XBOX doesn't hurt either.
My biggest gripe with Android, as someone who writes a lot, is that the Google Docs integration may as well not exist. The app is terrible. It's basically a pretty shell for the mobile site. SkyDrive/Office sounds very, very appealing to me. There are other issues I have, but this post seems like it's going to be huge already.
So I guess I have a few questions for you Windows Phone gurus.
How do you find SkyDrive to be in comparison to Google Docs? I understand you guys probably live in the Microsoft ecosystem as much as I do in Google's, but I've found Docs to be incredibly useful. Going forward in my life, having a really solid cloud productivity solution is critical.
How is the integration with other Google services like Gmail, Reader, Calendar, Contacts, etc? I've read a few posts on this, but most seemed to just confirm that it exists, and didn't really comment on how reliable it is.
I know that Microsoft doesn't have its own turn-by-turn GPS navigation yet, but are there any plans, to your knowledge, for future implementation of that? I know there are third party apps that do this, and those are valid options too but I really love that it's just built into the Google suite Android-side.
How is 3D gaming and emulation on Windows Phone? I don't play a ton of games, but there are a few I really enjoy. I'm absolutely in love with FPSE though, and playing Suikoden II on my phone is pretty much the bomb.
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll have other questions eventually. I tend to obsess over decisions like this for weeks.
Thanks a ton for any help you can provide me, guys.
I used to live android . Developed a rom and a few themes as well . I continue to work with 7+ Android in bringing as much of the metro UI to android as possible ...but honestly there is no comparison. I initially bought my wp7 device to help with our project . I now have no desire to go back .
I never used google docs , but I find SkyDrive to be amazing for my needs . 32gb for free is awesome ,and seamless integration with my PC . Gmail and contacts sync with no problem at all .
Wp7 actually does have turn by turn navigation built in with voice guidance now with mango . You just have to tap the screen after a completes turn . Now with Nokia drive being able to be sideloaded ...gps situation is perfect .
The os is just so smooth. I think you would be ver satisfied.

Although game emulation is basically non existent other than nes and gba ..and those struggle . But the os Is young .. It will come ..so that may be a deal breaker . But MS has some awesome original xb live titles . In not much of a gamer , bu some of those are really fun .
I feel like its a fair trade off for not dealing with androids lag and FCs

I have google mail and my google calendar synced with my phone and they work flawlessly. Only issue is that if you have multiple calendars on google it'll only sync the main one. Not an issue for most people though (me included).

i made the jump last week, and i have not regretted it yet.
here's some of my answers to your concerns.
How do you find SkyDrive to be in comparison to Google Docs?
honestly, better. i have a lot of my work documents on there and the integration with office is so much better than google docs on android.
How is the integration with other Google services like Gmail, Reader, Calendar, Contacts, etc?
flawless, just sign in and they are there
I know that Microsoft doesn't have its own turn-by-turn GPS navigation yet, but are there any plans, to your knowledge, for future implementation of that?
bing maps is OK, reminds me of the earlier version on the iPhone 3g. it works good enough, but it's not google navigation. there are better 3rd party apps available ranging in price from $5 to $50
How is 3D gaming and emulation on Windows Phone?
xbox live games are cool. i never really gamed on a mobile, but the few that i have played on wm7 run smooth and flawless.
i actually started a blog last night about my jump from android to wp7 to help others considering the change over. again, i just started it last night, so it's really crude as of now, but i will be updating it and should have a lot of info and my experiences on it soon.

I recently gave my son my Toshiba Thrive tablet and I'd like to be able to snoop on him to keep him honest. What Im looking for is like a vnc server for the tablet adn a viewer for my phone. I am not opposed to purchasing apps but I need to know what folks are having success with before I purchase. I tried droidvnc on the tablet and that was an immediate FC...Ive had good luck with androidvnc connecting to windows machines running realvnc server though...
Anyone mess around with this?
Found the solution..
I installed vnc_server on the tablet and installed androidvnc on my phone...and everything works fine. I did try all other options nd this is the only that seemed to work..and cross compatible as well. You also have control of th e remote device if needed.
Before anything else, how old is your son?

So you want to spy your son on his tablet?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
In a nutshell, yes. There is no way (that I am aware of) to effectively block content and he also has a time limit with it. The tablet was a gift for a technical mobile development camp he is attending and I'd like him to get some interest in mobile development. I realize that he will also download a bunch of games (which he has) to play and thats fine but I also realize there are a number of unsavory apps that I would prefer him not get into. I'd also like to be able make sure he is abiding by our (my wife and I) time restrictions for game time.
So a simple yes or no to the question would suffice.
Just trust your son, talk to him and be honest to him. Tell him that he shouldn't misuse his new Toshiba, and that the fun is over when you find out that he does bad things on it. You can control the filtering under the settings in the Play Store. If you wouldn't be able to trust your own son, go find a life or something. Sorry for me being honest, but it is just what I think about it. This how it goes in the Netherlands by the way, your parents usually trust you. And I'm 15 years old if you would like to know, and my parents trust me as well, and my parents have the same rule for my iPad. If I misuse it, it's not mine anymore. Think about what I just wrote.

I just don't know of any droid to droid server/viewers.
When you are a parent, you may understand my position a little better....or maybe not.
I will check into the content filtering in the play store as I didn't think of that though.

I have been thinking of messing with the hosts file on the tablet but then I'd have to find a list of suspect/inappropriate domains to redirect to localhost. That with the content filtering in the play store, and maybe some blocking at the router might render vnc completely un-needed.

Tip:
1. Download fing on play store
2. Scan your network
3. You should be able to find an internet adress, copy it to your browser and browse to it.
4. You should be able to change some router settings, but don't know what exactly, as I don't know what kind of router you've got.
Hope it helped!

Just wondering...
In my opinion, some thoughts should light your mind.
1) if you don't trust your son, why did you give the tablet to him?
No point for that since you don't trust what he may be doing with such thing.
2) if you trust him enought to give him the tablet, no reason for trying to spy and control what he does with it
3) if he did something wrong after you have given it to him, could simply ground him and take the tablet back to make him feel how wrong he did
4) as unnpropriate content i suppose that you caught him in some kind of porn (that is the first thought) sites or similar stuff. In that way, i would talk to him seriously and explain what we can call "facts of life" in clean and clear way. No fancy words, no fairy stories, just simple words (a pe**s is what it is) and so on, and end up by telling him he is taking a new chance with his previledges, such as the tablet, etc
5) i'm not a boy anymore. I was once (lol). I have adult sons and grand sons. Discipline is needed even more nowdays, but also keep the faulse puritans away because life is bich enough and no need for us to make it worse
Sorry, no lessons here, just a few thoughts.
By the way. Are you sure those are the reasons you want to spy him???

umm what? i said block the websites from being accessed by logging into your router most routers have a way to filter websites based on IP of the device
To give a bit more clarity to the situation, I trust my son to an extent. why did I give him a tablet? I am trying to get him interested in something constructive. He isn't into sports but he has expressed interest in psuedo programming via MIT's scratch and the like. I installed AIDE on the thrive so he's all set up. We have already explained the birds and the bees. We didn't catch him watching porn but rather collegehumor and funnyordie and 4chan so its a bit more mature than I feel a 12 year old is ready for.
None of this actually matters in answering the original question though.
Thanks for those that offered suggestions and I will look elsewhere for answers to my original question.

To give a bit more clarity to the situation, I trust my son to an extent. why did I give him a tablet? I am trying to get him interested in something constructive. He isn't into sports but he has expressed interest in psuedo programming via MIT's scratch and the like. I installed AIDE on the thrive so he's all set up. We have already explained the birds and the bees. We didn't catch him watching porn but rather collegehumor and funnyordie and 4chan so its a bit more mature than I feel a 12 year old is ready for.
None of this actually matters in answering the original question though.
Thanks for those that offered suggestions and I will look elsewhere for answers to my original question.

You don't need to explain your parenting methods to anyone. You have the ultimate responsibility to raise him, and if holding him accountable by monitoring his tablet activity is what you deem necessary, then you do it.

Hey everyone! So apparently I don’t post a lot so I couldn’t post in the development section (guess they don’t like to provide help to noobs, oh well) so Im gonna ask here.
Are there ANY emulators for the Surface RT 2 running 8.1? Yes, I have the Test Mode thing installed as well as Win86Emu, however Im finding less of a use for this thing everyday. I got it for $70 bucks used and was going to use it for Photoshop and drawing, but apparently the Surface RT is the unwanted autistic offspring of the Surface family. Why didn’t I buy a new Surface? Not everyone is a millionare, and I have cancer so I can’t afford anything like over $80 bucks.
Im tired of not being able to use this how I want. Its almost 2018, why hasn’t the Surface been FULLY hacked yet? I want to be able to run apps like Photoshop, Nestopia, Mupen64, Chrome, etc. Microsoft’s a bunch of ******* for taking the emulators off of the Windows Store, too bad there’s no way to get them anymore.
Any ideas? Reallllly don’t want to let this tablet go to waste if I can find DECENT drawing/photo editing software as well as emulators that LET ME USE a controller. Thanks!
****ty I am in the same boat
