VS.
I've been getting tired of my Xperia Play because I can't find any good games to play on it and I mostly use it for music
I'm thinking the Nexus as an upgrade for my phone because it has way more devs which means more access to custom ROMs and such
I'm all about customization and speed and that's where the Xperia Play falls short for me, as I can use and ICS ROM for more customization or I can use a GB ROM for speed, I can't really have both
Bear in mind that I am not a noob, as I've done everything to my phone from changing icons to editing kernels
All in all I'm looking for a phone that can be customized down to the kernel splash screen and still be as fast as possible
I'm also taking suggestions on other phones under $265 (Verizon w/o contract)
Thanks
Also, I chose the Nexus 4 because Ubuntu Mobile just came out for it

[Game] Chronotron!

Hey I released another game on the market called Chronotron. It's free. It's a 'port' of the flash game but with on screen controls. Just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone that's played it. It works on 2.1 and 2.2 Vibrants/ Galaxy S's. It's an old flash game so Flash Lite handles it just fine. It may sometimes be slightly sluggish when a lot is going on but I'd say it's perfectly playable.
If anyone here has any other flash games they'd like to see on the their phone but require a keyboard let me know.

cool, thanx
Actually this isn't working properly on the Fasincate on 2.1 and I'm running 2.2 atm. It loads on the Fascinate but the screen is small and multi-touch is weird. Anyone tried this with 2.1 vibrant?
I fixed it up for 2.1 ROMs. Works like a charm now.

I can't install it on Android 9

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because android 9 has this thing that can't let you install some apps. I recommend buying an used T-Mobile G2, Nexus One or Nexus S. All 3 are good phones (for myself) and you should check one of these out.

As in app developers, probably to get more into their market. Usually no one is too quick to help with actually getting AOSP and newer kernels working
I actually filled it out tho i am not -currently- working on an app,
the one thing that i saw that MAY look interesting is,, they were asking about ICS development. so maybe the tablet will get updated to ics over the next 6 months or so, probably when they introduce the nook tablet "2" with updated spec since the Google Nexus is supposedly due out at the end of july running Jellybean (android 4.1) with comparable specs to the current nook tablet & at ...the same price.

[Request] WP7 Recent Apps Mod

So I'm running Maisters GSM ROM and the recent apps screen doesn't show up (non-exsistant). Anyways while looking I found a WP7 like view for the Recent apps screen but its for the Nexus S (System UI & Framework mod) and I can't just flash it.
So as a request to somebody with the time to read and think about this. It would be cool in my opinion for a similar mod for Sense 4.
I lack the modding skills to even begin to know what exactly has to be done. My adb, apk-signing, smilis skills etc have been ignored for the better half of a year. :crying:
So anyway Thanks for looking.
Goodbyyyyyyyeeeeee lol

I used it for a few days with xiaomi.eu. Didn't found any big differences in the UI using Nova launcher. The only thing that I noticed was it SPAMS all kind of security alerts. "This app use this and that, yes or no?" It was frustrating.
