Hey All,

Got a droid incredible a few weeks ago, just trying to find out what everyone is using for games and apps. Seems like the gaming is pretty limited at the moment.


PC: i7-4790k @ 4.4, 32GB @ 2400, Nvidia 1080TI FE, 2 TB Crucial MX500 SSD
Nintendo Switch SX OS Pro / PS4 Pro 5.05 Hen/Mira / PS3 Modded / Wii Modded / 360 Pre-Wave4 mod

What type of apps ?


I always have a small selection, and others that differ due to how bored I am, or what I need.

K9 Mail
Astro File manager
Autostarts
Autokiller
SetCPU
Swype
Louder Volume Hack

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

Just wondering what everyone is using. The only game i've found so far that seems decent is Zenonia.

Apps:
Google Sky
Electrum (Drum Machine)
Advanced Task Manager
Astro File Manager
LogMeIn Ignition (AWESOME)
Wire Goggles
Yaaic - (can't get it to connect to efnet)

Don't use any task killer, I'm thoroughly fed up with seeing that stupid crap being recommended for use as it does nothing but slow your phone down and drain battery faster.

http://www.androidspin.com/2010/05/25/why-you-dont-need-a-task-killer-app-with-android/

Android is based off of linux, android can put a process into the background with it using virtually no resources. The reason your phone is so quick is because those most used apps and processes are in it's memory so it can launch right away. You won't stop a process from starting so the constant auto killing or killing it off yourself is only going to have your phone keep trying to reboot it causing more use of your CPU cycles to start it back up. The phone was built to manage itself so let it do just that and stop interfering with it.

On to what I use.

Apps:
Astro (system file browser)
Barcode Scanner
Dialer One (better than the stock phone dialer)
Dolphin Browser
Facebook Touch
Handcent SMS (replaces the stock messanger and is better in every way possible)
HI AIM & MSN
Mobile Banking (if your bank supports it, you can see how much is in the bank with a couple clicks)
Movies by Flixter
Scanner Buddy (world wide police scanner....it's a blast)
Smart Keyboard (replaces the stock virtual keyboard, I find it to be faster and has a lot more options)
Square (lets you manage payments and money from your "customers" for whatever you do as well as accept credit card payments through your phone, it's a bit like paypal I guess you could say)
System Panel (a run down on everything going on with your phone)
The weather channel widget
Uninstaller (quicker to uninstall apps)
Wiki Mobile

Games:
Backbreaker Football
Battle for Mars
Homerun Battle 3d
iMobsters
Gensioid
Cestos
Lightup
Mahjong
Pobs
Nesoid
Project INF
SNesoid
Super KO Boxing (think super punch out : DVery Happy )
Super Tumble
Space Physics
Dungeon Hunter (think torchlight...it's fun but not on the market yet)

Dosbox is also in the works for android so I shall use that once it becomes available

Flash is avalable for anyone with a Nexus one thats been updated to 2.2

Also if you have a build of 2.1 or a system that use's a lot of 2.1 stuff backported, its worth looking into enabling JIT

Autokiller isnt a taskkiller as such, I use it because its easier than manually tweaking the androids inbuilt task killer, and I find it gets better results.

But as to task killers in general (ie click to kill this task) I agree with you.

I also forgot to add to my list, A different browser, I did use Dolphin for a while, and then it got all bloated, so now for anyone wanting a different browser, its worth checking out "Xscope"

Yes.

I don't know how well they perform, but if you install everything to do development for it, you have an emulator.

On what phone? Try running it with airplane mode on then when it asks to use wifi let it use it.

Man, I need a good replacement for Dungeon Hunter. That game was fantastic. Pretty cheese but i played it more than any other release for any platform as of late.

Hey guys, what's the Galaxy Spica like for gaming? I've heard from some that it's great, yet others that due to shitty Samsung Linux support 3D gaming is laggy and barely playable. Anyone have a Spica can shed some light please?

it's alright, I hate jap rpgs, they fact you got huge virtual controls that can be unresponsive and takes up too much of the screen. and no choice to use keypad killed it for me.

Cyberlords Arcology
Zenonia 1-3
Gurk (if you enjoy oldschool Rogue-likes)
Paradise Isle (not really an RPG, more of a kingdom sim set on a remote island)
Andor's Trail (looks pretty fun, no experience with it though)
Pocket Legends (if you like MMOs)
NetHACK (classic Rogue)
Dungeon Hunter (Diablo, a must have)
Dungeon Hunter 2 (as above)
Dungeon Defenders (U3-powered RPG cross with TD)
Game Dev Story
Spectral Souls (absolutely must be owned by all Android owners and RPG lovers. PS2/PSP port)
Deadly Dungeons (classic 1st-person dungeon crawler)
Eternal Legacy (FFXIII clone from Gameloft)


Then, naturally, you have the emulators... (SNESoid/NESoid/Gameboid/FPSe), with all the RPG goodness therein.


this list?
