Did spare parts go full screen for you? Tried raging thunder lite 2 and neither one went full screen. You have to do anything different than the video?

@ bdcrim
Yes. You have to do it exactly like in the video. Just ticking the box will not be sufficient.

Thought I did that. Will try again. Thanks
Second time it worked. Maybe a firmer toggle on toggle off was needed. Thanks for the post.

Great!

The fix eliminated the textures in fruit slice and the Mystique series. Sorta a wash since these were unplayable when they were cropped.

Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Thanks. Completely forgot about this fix for the screen issue. Since loading CM7 v17, my eReader app wouldn't show fullscreen until I did this again.

[Q] Widget locker

Is the app worth buying, as it supports themes that look really cool But how long is the delay before it kicks in? because that is what would most annoy me
Thanks for any information.
Yes it is worth it, I get no delays, you will get delays on sense roms.
I brought it and its fine would you recommend any themes for out size display?

check in the themes thread by zhk3r. Sense themes fit perfectly, I also resized some for qvga.
Thanks Kevin i found them My phone wouldn't look half as sexy without you, and your right there is no delay with CM i forgot my mate has it and he uses sense.
I was also wondering if anyone could resize this theme to fit QVGA for me? I would appreciate any help thankyou.

if you like Guerellla Bob...

then youll love the game "age of zombies" by the makers of fruit ninja. its a fun shoot em up zombie game with lots of cool weapons sometimes funny moments and gfx that look good on the nook, enjoy!
EDIT: on cm7 if you have fullscreen mode disabled DONOT press the button to hide the statusbar as this will cause a force close!

Thanks for teh head's up! I've been enjoying Guerrilla Bob a lot lately, but something similar with Zombies would be teh ahsom!!!
Looks like a good game.
Small problem in that all I get is a black screen when I launch it.
Once openfeint popped up...
Not necessarily asking for tech support, but if anyone else knows why, i'd love to know.
phiremod 6.2 from sdcard, any other details available upon request.

apparently it does that to me too now for some reason.. when i first installed it it only went black screen when i tried to use the cm7 full screen button. but now it does it unless i run the game first thing after a reboot.. its a weird quirk.

Swipepad: how to make it work

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

[Q] Why dont FPS game controls work?

I'm pretty sure this has been answered before but I cannot find it ANYWHERE (Redirect me if I'm wrong. I've played FPS games like NOVA and modern combat perfectly unrooted. Suddenly the controls stopped working (Multi touch issue I suppose). I have the phone rooted now and it still doesn't work.
I've heard that GO locker EX messes with them but I've uninstalled it with no luck.
Here are my device specs in case it helps
-Amaze 4G
-Tmobile
-Rooted (ICS rom)
Post any other info you need and thanks in advance!

This has been discuessed and seems to be a common problem on rooted phones. As soon as you go back to stock they start working again!! I'm rooted stock and have multitouch issues. My dad's amaze is complete stock locked and unrooted multitouch works perfectly. A developer should look into this.
As I've said, I've had the problem even before rooting my phone.

It seems to a problem on some roms and not others If I remember correctly from older threads. I remember reading beastmod was working perfectly, I havn't heard anything about other roms, what rom are you running heyodee?

hmm odd...I notice when I restart my phone I run multitouch app to test the multitouch and all 4 points (maximum for amaze) register perfectly, after about a minute or so the 4th point does not register correctly anymore...if I play around with it too much all points but 1 stop registering!!...could be a rogue app or part of the rom!! I will have to investigate more

Probabaly a ROM or kernel... MC3 is hot
Did you restart the phone after disabling Go Locker? That did the trick for me.

hmm...could be the launcher...I run ADW ex...and widget locker, i'm going to disable and see if i get the 4 points...btw heyodee have you actually tested to see if you get 4 solid points with a multitouch app?
update: yep widget locker is the culprit!!!

awesome thanks...running any launchers or lockscreen apps??? I think i've narrowed mine down to lockscreen widget....but I have to see...
I did a bit of research and any lock screen replacement app causes these multi touch issues on at least a few if not all phones. I don't think the launchers mess it up at all.

Using default sense launcher and lock screen
yes definitely widgetlocker. 100 percent sure now, been testing since...I will post this in my stickie!!! seems people have problems with this a lot!!
Okay, I'm uninstalling ALL traces of lock screen apps and I'll post the results before and after.
BEFORE: Unresponsive as usual. Frequent jerking motions. Strange enough, with one finger it works fine but with two it starts to ignore my input

Any emulators that are good for using the game pad?

I have downloaded a few but they don't have good compatibility
Use RetroArch it is the best multi emulator front-end around
If you are looking for N64, Mupen64PIus FZ works like a charm in dual display.
MyBoy works without any customization.
Thanks all, I will check them out
Here is a nice lil demonstration of 3DS emulation on the LG G8x
Sorry to bother.
How did you customize the home screen? How to disappear navigation bar in the two screens and shortcut to wide mode ?
I cannot have wide mode in the home screen. The right screen become black...
Great customization !!!

I'll be doing a tutorial and be making an XDA thread soon.
Was a bit of a complicated process at first EVERYTHING I managed to do and figure out. I'll have some more info soon just been busy with family and Christmas being so close.
I'll make sure I get everything together and hopefully as easy as possible a process to achieve a similar setup
Thanks a lot.
Merry Christmas.
PPSSPP works great !
Does it work by default on Wide View, or are you remapping the controls on gamepad on the other screen.
