Ey guys, Ive searched on the forum for this, using 'search' but I could'nt find a topic about it. You probably know those old school photoplay machines you sometimes still find in bars and all. With games like 'find it' and such. For the IPhone there has already been developed a popular game with the corresponding name.
Now I was wondering whether that game or a similar app exists for the HD2/WM6.5.
Thx for your response in advanced guys.
There's a "find it" 480x800 game called "Little Shop Of Treasures" version 1.0.2.0. Google for it.
Thx for the input Zentury, I checked it out. It's a nice game but not exactly what I am looking for. I was hoping to find a bit more authentic games like you find on those big touchscreen machines, you know with two PhotoShop, find the differences etc. That 'find it' app for the IPhone has also been one of the most popular games available. So I hope someone knows where to buy or download a free version for HD2 if it exists, and more of such games. Though indeed Little shop of treasures is a nice addition too.
Hi everyone, i know there are tonssssss of nice people here on xda forums, and i was just hoping for some suggestions because i have to choose a project to work on.. any java game / application which is not too tough is fine.

Well 1st congradulations on becoming a developer. I too in my spare time develop but I develop games. If this is your 1st time developing a complete project I would suggest a simple game. A game like pong,space invaders, or pacman. I dont know your level but those can be made relatively easy and give you time to add something to make an original twist. Since I program in C language I dont know if any of the commands are similar in java maybe I could help. Goodluck on your project and keep us posted.
This is proly a tough one, but one I would (and many others) love to see on our HD2 phones.
Netflix watch instantly app from our queue.
Why they half assed the Netflix app in the first place is beyond me.
thanks for all the suggestions guys! knew some of you here on xda would be happy to gimme some ideas. First i thought nobody was gonna bother replying. lol. thanks again and I will keep you guys informed when i decide what to do and if I need any help. Thanks a lot everyone.
I just noticed your handle; football-fan. I am assuming you mean soccer?
Perhaps combine your love for the game with your project and develop something relating to the upcoming World Cup.
An app that has the game fixture, match time etc. It could also connect and update scores and match stats as they happen. It could keep track of the heats and results. Keep a tree/chart of who wins and loses, who makes it to the finals etc.
I have no doubt there are plenty of people out there who would love an app like that. Especially considering you could produce something that is ad free. I am assuming that any official app that comes from commercial organisations will be plastered with sponsorship logos and the like.

thanks for the idea!
but my lecturer was saying it would be better if the apps that we make would require move.. interaction / input from the user?

How about a playlist editor for wmp? Something that would allow you to browse folders and select tracks and build a playlist from scratch.
It may seem a pretty plain application, but it would mean coding a decent GUI (that would obvously run purely on user interaction), but it would still have some more "gutsy" stuff, like system access, reading folder and files etc., and you'd also have to make sure you can build a playlist file. (I have no idea what format a playlist is in - it could be a simple list, but is more likely to be xml)

Hey Everybody,
I've been trying to find any/all decent games and apps for my transformer and I'm curious if anyone has any interesting input. I'll go over what I'm looking for and my opinions on apps that I already know about, and I'd be interested in reading anybody else doing the same.
For games.. I never played any games on my android phone, wasn't really interested. I've checked out a few on my tablet though:
- Pocket Legends MMO: I'd definitely say this game is better for a tablet than it would be for a mobile. I've already uninstalled as I'm not interested in an mmo for my tablet, but it does run well and there seems to be a fair amount of people playing.
- Armored strike: This game plays like worms/scorched earth but it isn't fantastic in my opinion. It does represent one type of game that I'd be interested in getting though. I notice worms is available on the market, when I search the market on my desktop.. Didnt see it on the market when I searched from my tablet. Haven't tried that yet, its a paid game, and only 3 stars released in april 2011. This type of game, with online play, is something I would like to see.
- Shadow era: This is a CCG like magic the gathering. I installed it on my phone but wouldn't play it on that screen size. Doesn't seem to run on the tablet unfortunately. A CCG like magic the gathering is another game I would like to see on my tablet.
- Galaxy on fire 2: I saw a video of a xoom tablet running this game at a CES-like event, but the market says it will only run on xperia. Shame, it looked like it'd be worth a try. Games using the accelerometer for steering are neat, but that cant be all there is to the game for it to be worth getting.
- Angry Birds: Lets get this game out of the way, despite its popularity I have little to no interest. It's hardly revolutionary. Games like worms/armored strike/scorched earth are better. In birds you modify trajectory but not firing power. Its too simplistic/boring.
Thats enough for games. I'd be particularily interested in anything which gives options for keyboard controls, but I don't suspect there's much of that out yet.
Some app opinions:
- Google Earth: I wish this was good, but there's no added functionality that you don't get from google maps. In fact, in google maps, you can add your google account's mymaps as a layer, in google earth you cannot. (Let alone edit your account's mymaps) There used to be an app called google mymaps editor, but google took it off the market. I use google earth a lot for work, and having some means of saving waypoints and building paths in between waypoints is something I would really like to see on my tablet. I work for a wireless ISP and we mark wireless base stations, paths in between, and paths to customer sites etc using google earth on desktop.
- Thinking space: This is a mind mapping app for android which you can use to create/modify/view freemind mind maps on your android device. It's probably the app that has seen the most benefit from a tablet sized screen size that I can think of. Definitely worth getting for anybody thats interested in making mind maps for any purpose, it's more powerful than freemind on desktop, particularily on a transformer with keyboard.
- Pocket cloud: Remote desktop apps in general should see improved usabilty on tablets, but this is the one that I own personally.
This is all I've got worth mentioning. Pretty sparse, but hey thats why I'm asking around right? Any/all input quite welcome.

nice write up might be worth tagging it onto the compatible apps thread in the applications subforum tho ?
if you are looking for what apps to try and which are optimised for tablet thereis a whole list there .....
I'll have to look for that. Had a feeling something like this would be around somewhere but didn't know where to look.

This thread is filling with some great app and also a bunch of game recommendations.
When / if / as I have the time to do so i'll start moving things back up to this first posting. I'll maybe get some here and there, or a chunk at one shot, or whatever.
Meantime, or as usual, browse through the thread and find hidden treasure in all the replies

So what do you all like to run on your phone?
I'll kickstart it off with some things I use, tell me what you like so I can see what i'm missing!
-File Expert - Free - Geek Software Technology Inc.
-Dual File Manager XT - Free - Medieval Software
-Root Explorer - Paid - Speed Software
File expert I keep for the FTP/web server capabilities. I use it or Root explorer back and forth. I like Root explorer better, I couldn't edit the keylayout file with File Expert. Dual file manager makes it so easy to copy things around I keep using it - call me lazy on that one but it works well.
-Android Terminal Emulator - Free - Jack Palevich
-Absolute System (Root Tools) - Paid - canvs2321
Fantastic suite of tools for use after root.
-Android Music - Free - JRTStudio
I love it more then other music players, call me old fashioned but i'm just used to this one. Simple, easy, no extra BS to worry about.
-Mobo Player - Free - Mobo Team
Simple, easy to use, and supports .avi files amongst others. My favorite video player.
-Realcalc -Free/Paid - Quartic Software
Superior calculator. I use the donate version - the doubleshot stock calculator is garbage, I was not very happy with it. I'd already been using this one before getting the doubleshot, so swapped it right in.
-ezPDF Reader - Paid - Unidocs Inc.
-Scan to PDF - Paid - Nym Computing
-Open Signal Maps - Free - Staircase 3, Inc.
This one shows me all the cell towers I connect to, and maps them out for me. Other handy stuff in it, it works well and I use it all the time.
-XDA Premium - you should probably have this by now if you're reading this here.
What are you all playing with?
I'll add to this list:
SweetHome Image Upload - kinda like Google+ Instant Upload for pictures, except it uploads to my local PC instead of into the Google+ cloud, as soon as I connect to my home network.
Tasker - great app to automate almost anything
RemoteLauncher - Allows you to launch programs on your PC remotely from your phone, I use this in combination with Tasker to automate things, ie. when I'm connected to my home network, I trigger the Windows Start Menu, so that my monitor will wake up from sleep mode. This way, I don't have to move the mouse or start typing on my keyboard to get my monitor to wake up (yes, I know, I'm lazy).
XBMC Remote - if you aren't already using XBMC (www.xbmc.org) to play/browse your media, stop reading this, download it now, and thank me later! XBMC is the slickest media centre software I've seen, and the official remote app for Android is pretty nice too.
If you came to this thread from the bloat removal thread, then here are my suggestions: (some from my first post above, again, but with links this time. I'm tired of typing now and don't feel like editing it at the moment.)
1 - Stock Browser = Opera Mobile
2 - Stock Gallery App = Gallery3D - I really like the version of this app found in the Nook Color (encore) version of CM7 (latest stable release)
3 - Stock Notes App = ColorNote
4 - Stock Polaris Office = Documents to Go 3.0 + Paid Unlock ( expensive, I know, but worth it - I do a ton of office stuff for work on this phone, and this app is fantastic. You may want to keep the stock office app. )
5 - Stock Music Player = Android Music
6 - Stock Calculator = Realcalc - not even a question here. Donate is worth it to me, because I do a lot of conversions. Free version is awesome too.
I am pissed about the stock calculator app we get on this device. This is an expensive phone, practically the best piece of hardware money can buy, and our stock calculator doesn't even fit the numbers on the buttons right...really? WTF HTC - bad, bad form. (Alternatively, IF you replace it right, the stock app from the encore version of CM7 is pretty awesome - simple, elegant, fits the screen very nicely.)
Elixer is the only thing you'll need if you're missing any of the widgets you lost in dropping the sense launcher - really. Fantastic app.
and last but not least Digitally Imported is more up my alley as far as radio goes, especially when i'm sitting around on the computer. It's just continuous mellow background noise...but the radio thing is all a matter of personal taste anyways.
So what do the rest of you have to say as far as apps for this thing?
My eyes have been opened to Opera Mobile, now a must have on my phone.
I guess besides that, I don't really have any apps I absolutely need on my phone.
As for the calculator, Algeo is pretty awesome.
New list, see post #33
What about games? I'm on the bus a lot so it would be nice to have something that I can pass the time with.
Homerun Battle...best game ever!
Sweet. Anything else? All I have so far is Robo Defense and Pocket Soccer. I'm not used to having games on my phone hahaha
I just got this game called third blade today.. It's pretty awesome so far.

Wow been missing out on Opera Mobile!
How does Opera Mobile compare to Dolphin HD?
Games?
If you like tower defense...
In the pre-selected path way of playing:
Sentinel 3 just came out on Android. The sentinel 1 & 2 games on my iPod Touch were simply amazing, and were the one thing I missed the most when it broke.
Now that the game dev. ported it to Android, and brought a whole new version, there's really no other tower defense game that can top it. Our device really makes it shine, because of the TV out. If you play this game through your device on a TV, you will be blown away.
I've been playing it for a few days now, and it's freakin' amazing. Everything I missed and so much more.
Also, GRave Defense HD is a great tower defense game. It was the best one of this type on the market until Sentinel was ported. ( In my opinion...)
In the open-field type of play:
Robo Defense as mentioned above is pretty good, and Fieldrunners HD isn't bad either.
Still think Sentinel is the cream of the crop, though.
For games, generally:
Samurai 2 is absolutely fantastic, and has been updated to work with the sensation, which is basically our phone. Great game, plays well on the phone, looks and plays like a console game when hooked up to the TV off the phone.
I've had people call me a liar to my face that the game was playing on the TV through my phone, even though they were watching me do it - it's that good.
Guerrilla Bob is a pretty fun game, and a good one to waste time on. It's well made and good fun, also on a half off sale right now so probably a good time to pick it up.
The two games by Mika Mobile are good too:
Zombieville USA is a side-scroller where you just shoot up a whole bunch of zombies. If you liked Guerrilla Bob, then you'll like this one too.
Battleheart is a pretty nicely done RPG type game, take a look at it if this kind of game is fun for you.
Also, some old favorites:
Jet Car Stunts is an old favorite, i'm sure everyone knows what this is by now...if not click the link and come out of your cave! lol...
Minisquadronand Minisquadron Special Edition are two old favorites of mine as well. Side-scrolling plane combat, with lots of planes to unlock and play with.
That should be a couple to get you started with, there are some others I play that I haven't listed yet - fighting for time on-line right now with all the stuff I have to get done off-line. I'll post up more when I get a chance.
try Pocket Legends, pretty rad

Not sure, honestly never looked. If you can't find it it probably doesn't exist.
Edit: http://www.origin8.com/android/sentinel3/ Here's the developers website about the game, might help you in deciding if you want it or not.
I knew the developers previous games - part 1 and 2 were my hands-down favorite games way back when on my iPod touch. I really, really wanted this game ported to android, and as soon as I saw it I just purchased it. Didn't read any reviews, or anything - just click, buy, play.
Game play is awesome, the difficulty levels are scaled right, and you get to choose from a whole mess of weapons to play with, shipboard weapons that can be used from an orbiting spacecraft (that's the limit of your interaction with it)...and a commander 'mech that you can move to specific points in the battlefield to help your cause.
'Mech can be upgraded between levels as the game progresses, and it has both campaign and 'endless' modes for each map.
Weapons can be upgraded to a few different levels in each combat scenario, and as you unlock things progressing through the campaign mode you really get some firepower to play with.
Very visually appealing game, and i've been playing it in any spare few minutes I can whip out my phone and go at it. Haven't had any force closes, discovered any bugs, or anything. Very well done.
Oh, and if you hit the home key or just exit the game, it saves right where you were when you left the app. Next time you run the game you can pick up right where you left off - perfect. You can just quit the game and do something else with your phone immediately or put it away and not lose any progress.
Remember, though, that this is a pre-path type tower defense game. That means the waves of enemies can only travel over specific areas of the map. Something like Fieldrunners or RoboDefense is a different type of game, where the whole map is a potential path for the enemies.
If you like tower defense games, and thought GRave Defense was a decent game, you'll be blown away by how awesome this one is. Grave Defense is the same type of pre-path tower defense game, so it's a good one to look at to kind of get a feel for what Sentinel is like.
If you were gonna burn $2 in the android market somewhere, and you like tower defense games, this is a good place to do it. You may end up hating the game, and if so i'm sorry. Try the free version of GRave Defense, and if you can get into it, take it to a whole other level with Sentinel.
In case you couldn't tell, this is my favorite android game. Lots of re-play value...especially with the endless modes.
Now if I could only find a port of my second favorite game from apples store, Alive-4-Ever...
+1 on Sentinel3...thanks for the recommendation Blue6IX, I agree with you, this game is by far the best playing and looking tower defense game I've tried..
Robotek is a great game.
Root Explorer is a must have.
Go SMS Pro
Since this is media phone I definitely recommend PicSay. Fun, fun, fun!
Friendcaster is better than the HTC facebook app or the official facebook app. If you spend time on facebook you should look at it.

I second PicSay, i've had a lot of fun with that one.
Toonpaint is fun to play with too - but don't expect it to work on every, or even most, pictures. After you play with it for a little while you'll figure out what pictures will probably convert, and how to take pictures that will convert well.
Toonpaint takes a lot of playing with it to get the results to come out good, so don't get it unless you have a high level of patience.
It's fun though, and if you play with PicSay, Toonpaint goes hand-in-hand to turn life into a comic. Toonpaint to generate the comic frame, and PicSay to put the word/thought bubbles into place.
Pho.to Lab is another fun one to play with, i've had a lot of fun with it and it's about the same ease of use as PicSay.
Hello!
I want to show you my first android game, that i just published on Google Play
Its called Scary Copter - Halloween Flight
So as you can see, theme is very actual, as tonight is the Halloween night
Its free, fast and fun flying game, based on old, well known idea of helicopter game.
Navigate through narrowing tunnel, avoid obstacles, dont crash and fly as far as you can.
Enjoy dynamic, yet smooth and responsive flying model. Have fun.
Im new here, so i cant publish links to Google Play nor any screenshoots. Look for game called "scary copter", with icon showing Witch flying broom silhouette against full moon Package name is: com.mobador.scarycopter
I did my best to make "Scary Copter" bug free. Looks solid to me, but im a beginner, so I'll apreciate any opinions about this game.
Thanks in advance.
Adam
Play Store Link
Haven't had time to play it yet, but here is a Play Store link.
Looks pretty good, i quite like the colouring and theme. Can you tell me if there's any plans for updates in the future? (I'm a suckers for new content and features )

Thank you for nice words. Its simple game, but simple doesnt mean ugly. There is so many fun games on Google Play, that just have poor gfx. I wanted to avoid it and make graphic assets, that will be pleasant for eye. I'm not an artist myself, but I did my best to make the game look as good as possible. Colours that fit each other are very important part of every image, so i put attention into it too.
And about update plans, there are some, yeah.
I want to implement some kind of online high score board, so players can share their best scores, for others to compare.
I also need to fix some graphic issues. Game is made in 800x480 resolution, and on such devices, it looks realy good. Like mine Samsung Galaxy S Advance. But on devices with different resolution, pictures doesnt look so good, edges are sharp, not smooth. Game still works fine, but well, details could look better.
There are also some extra features planned, but im a busy guy, much work, wife, kid, so it can take some time
Actualy, at first the game was meant to look different, there was "classic" game mode, and "extended" one, with power-ups. And more graphic themes, that players can unlock while playing, and then select their favourite theme. I even have working prototype.
But im a beginner, so i decided to make it simplier from the start, to avoid mistakes. The longer the code, the bigger chance for bugs
Another thing is, preparing different graphic themes is also time-consuming, i dont want to put crappy graphic into my game. I put much attention into details, so i was afraid, if i will stick to more complex game idea, it will take months longer to finish and publish. Therefore i made it simplier, with dedicated Halloween theme, and there it is, finally...
If people will download it, and i will know they like it, i will for sure work on extended game
So, download and rate please, to keep my motivation up
