ok are any of you actualy playing the build in games?
solitaire! hehehe bubbles is not fun
Sometimes miss a good arkade
ANyway I VOTE NO... You could let ppeople have the possibility to install them after flashing
Acctually, I myself I'm not playing, but my friends are (lol). Usually Bubble Breaker (I played for a while myself, record over 2500 on MegaShift ), rarely Solitare.
I don't play any games at all. And if I do, I do it in the bus, train... etc. = when I have nothing better to do.
Games
No, i dont ever play games, it will really free up some space if you exclude them.

Agree. Wipe them out. You can use the space for some useful stuff (Total Commander, for example)
replacing with more exciment game become more fun

Sometimes I play Bubble Breaker on toilette ...
Maybe remove them and make a *.cab for the guys which want them ...
dont need any games. i would also appreciate if office wouldnt be integrated in the rom, and only for installation with cab ... or second version with office .... or selectable which components of office can be installed. i only need excel for my drivers log, but powerpoint eats 1.9mb of device storage, but i never use that app.
I voted no since if im playing a game it will be a non standard game.
Only my GF will punish me if it is gone
My girlfriend plays bubbles all the time)
I think Games could be useful in case of Boringness.. But If u want to make it not build in on Prophet touch VIII. It's okay.. But please give a cab for us too.. So it could be usefull for people who like games.
I play it too sometimes..
no...............
no, remove them please and post the cabs
My son plays Bubblebreaker, so please keep it.
middle path
removing from rom and making a cab of those two games is the middle path i think..the best solution..

so, you vote for removing games?
---
i played bubble braker for a while in the beginning of my pda experience, when i rich a quite high score which i cannot rich again easily i quit playing.
i hate solitare. i prefer freecell in card games category.
if removing games don't open up much space it can be remain, but if you can do, separate *.cab files would be more efficient for all.
thank u gullum for your very nice hard work!
Please remove the built in games
I agree the built in games should be removed.
Guys I bet your kids and girlfriends are telling you they are playing games in your mobile:
- They are not playing solitaire or Bubble breaker
- They are reading you messages and checking up who you are calling these days.

what about the kids they would say daddys got a strange phone he had games previously now he is lying that the games are gone ,so next day if he gets a chance he would throw daddy's phone into bath tub ,
middle solutions is provide games in cab form somewhere so that who ever wants it loads it seperately But remove them from formal rom version ,which already has stability and other important issues to look forward to .
I see several steam apps, (as in Valve's digital distribution service) on the market, but as they likely require me to enter my information I thought I'd check in here first and see if anyone is actually using one without issue.
Has anyone tried any of them? I dont want to enter my information into anything that might be malicious
I've been fantasizing about a Steam app for android [or onlive], but I don't think there's any reasonable way to actually play your Steam games since they're windows (or mac) only, aside from doing something like vnc or some onlive-like service. I'm not familiar with any of the apps out there, but I wouldn't bother. At best it looks like they just offer a quick way into the forums, etc.
On a side note, onlive may eventually be available. Supposedly the Flyer has some capability, and I vaguely remember reading an article on Onlive developing more apps and a 2nd gen controller to be used on devices other than their microconsole.

Haha, I suppose I should have posted what I wanted to do... durr.
I'm really just looking for a nice, integrated storefront in widget form instead of as a webpage. That, plus steam friends/community functionality, would be all I really want from a steam app.
I of course realize there is no way that we're going to be playing our steam games on our Nooks any time soon
I have a steamapp on my nexus one, All it can do is show you who is online, and a bit of other information. No chat APIs have been released by valve, there isn't much you can do that you can't do on the webpage
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pwned.steamfriends
That looks to be about what I wanted. Much thanks
Do you know if it has a widget, or is it just a straight app?
Hello!
A few weeks ago, i wanted to create a game like Dungeon & Dragons but of Windows Mobile. You know, something like a Text Game RPG.
First things that camed trough my mind:
Name: Drakonian Adventures(Not sure but im waiting sugestions).
Type: Medieval/Fantasy RPG
Class/Race: Well... as for the races will be the normal RPG races(Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs <maybe more?>) and for classes(Warrior, Mage & Ranger <maybe 1-2 more>).
I got a few characters, story, location ideeas, but i want to know a few from you .
Well, first tought about pragraming was to build it uing Visual Studio 05/08, but im not sure that you can make "saves" in VS, you know... files like mygame.sav(or whatever was the extension) from witch the player can resume the game.
If you like it, I will need a bit of help with the programing:
1. How to create save files & a load/save game system in VS(maybe other cross-platform app?).
2. Loading screens? I don't get the "Progress Bar" to work on my HTC.
3. Ambient/Background sounds for diferent locations?
4. Getting it to work on all screens? QVGA, VGA, WVGA...
Do you think this is a good project? Shall I continue with it or throw it to the trash can?
I've dreamed of having this on a tablet ever since they came out. I cannot believe iOS got this before any Android implementation, Cornerstone is ok, but this beats it hands down!!!

that isnt even true multitasking. you see they dont have a video playing in one window while browsing in another. all it is is opening up different windows. the other windows stop loading or doing whatever as you open a new one.
i can do all of that and more easily on just a rooted prime with stickit floating media player and overskreeen floating browser. On android it will be true multitasking because all things are going at the same time , all on the screen at once. ex. i could open up overskreen browser to browse xda. then i can open up multiple movies or vids with stickit and have them playing. then i can open up Facebook app and browse the app. i can have all that on my screen going on at once. one doesn't pause for the other action. so ill have my movies playing and watching them in a resize able window while looking at Facebook while also looking at xda in the overskreen browser. this is all at the same time, on the same screen, in real time. no slowdown or anything what so ever. i can even open up multiple browser pages and have them in their own individual windows if i want.
plus thats not an ios feature. thats something developers from cydia implemented. cydia isnt even supported by apple. jailbreak(isnt supported by apple also) is required to get cydia. then this app is in cydia. it looks cool but more of an illusion of multitasking. id say cornerstone blows this away or even what i described i use because what android does is true multitasking. on ios its not.

I know this is a jailbreak tweak and not supported by Apple, this is a given with any tweaks like this. However, I will agree with you on the pausing of 'windowed' apps, not ideal at all. And using Overskreen, and / or airterm is great, but they are app specific. Cydias implementation, while not perfect, is still pretty nice to have any app windowed so you can have info displayed any where then just switch over to have it update, yes ideally they would keep running in windowed mode, but I feel this is still a nice feature to have as you can have info displayed in say Facebook, and then have twitter in another window if you want to use some FB info to post an update to twitter and need to see both at once.
I'm still waiting for Android to get a windowed implementation where you can, much like Overskreen or airterm, but have any app go into 'windowed' mode to fullscreen seemlessly, allowing you to choose what suits your needs at the time. For me this would pretty much seal the deal as Android being the clear winner for a tablet OS( in my mind it already is light years ahead of iOS in everything other than the 'polish' of apps being developed for iOS, but that's just an issue with sheer number of 'established' devs giving iOS more priority over Android, and the fact that it's easier to develop for a known set of hardware Vs. the array of HW available for Android ) ... Even with that Android is obviously better, especially if you're a power user.
Anyways, this post wasn't a supposed to be a dis on Android, just more of a "I want, I want.." kinda post.
Yeah, come back when iPad can do this:

Like I stated, I know the Prime is a much better device, and can handle a ton more, just a feature "wish we had it" post.

i agree. i want any app to be able to be windowed. Maybe those developers will make something that can do that. they seem to be the only developers, creators of stickit & overskreen, that seem to be going in that direction. the people from tablified app also created a floating messaging client. so its only a matter of time before more n more apps will be able to be windowed just like on a PC. thats why i love overskreen, stickit, aircalc, & floating air terminal so much.
Oh god here we go. ****storm imminent. Massive buttrage incoming. FLAME WAR HAS BEEN IGNITED I REPEAT FLAMEWAR HAS BEEN IGNITED.
But, the ipad's gonna have a monster log load of compatibility problems with that because apple locks down their stuff so it's going to be insanely hard to adapt screen sizes especially because there is little variation in resolution for ios devices. For android, this is much easier because you've got devices from 320x240 all the way to the upcoming 1920x1200 tablets.

They make this operating system called "Windows". I suggest you check it out.

Cydia is a nice touch to ios. Makes my iPhone somwhat bearable.

/me really hopes they can get this to work in all apps.
lol are they just now getting widgets???
Add more ram to the Android tablet realm then this would be more advantageous. Sure for simple tasks like Facebook, twitter, one tab browser, just small stuff, the prime would be able to handle all at once. But add in YouTube, more tabs in browser, a game, then bam, where's my ram?

This is what I'm talking about, 15 vids at once. I believe we have enough ram to make a feasible implementation, I personally am not looking to have even 4 or 5 intensive apps running windowed, but having my RSS reader, a terminal, a video and a 'casual' game def. seems doable to me.
I stand corrected. Just tried leaving real racing 2, browser and YouTube in memory but I still have roughly over 100mb free.
With 6 tabs open on all flash intensive sites did I start to near the limit. (+ the real racing &, youtube)

we already have the source code for android for windowed apps. it just needs to be included into roms. but that is no easy task. so apple is actually late in the game.
i for one would like to see tiling window-managers on android, since i am a tfp+dock user.
So you guys really want development to spiral in the direction of "windowed" apps? Didn't you purchase Android products for an alternative for Windows? Honestly, if it heads in that direction, you're going to just eventually have a slow bulky java app and you'll be begging for the next Tech powerhouse to design another OS as an alternative...
Jeesh...

Ever heard of Linux
Many flavors of Linux all have window based desktops available for years. Why would having this function on Android be any different.

In what world is Android an alternative for Windows? You could say Mac, Linux, Unix, hell even Chrome desktop, but Android? I don't think so. Android is an alternative to iOS, Palm, Windows -Phone-, Blackberry OS, etc... but don't compare a mobile( phone and tablet ) OS as an alternative to a Desktop OS. And yes, if you added Windowing and a couple other features to Android, then, maybe, you could make that comparison, but saying that "you'll eventually have a slow bulky java app" just by adding a Window manager is not logical. Hell, if I run 2 instances of Crysis, while watching a move, torrenting and compiling a project Windows will get slow also, it's on the owner( or limiting number of windows apps, or some other preventitive method ) to keep your system running smooth.
That being said, Android as is, is great for most people, hell just keep using it that way, but isn't Android all about options and customizability? Why not allow people another option for those who know how to manage their systems and wont go loading 10 intensive apps at the same time, what the hell would you do with that many apps open anyways on such a small screen? Guess you could video out, but the resolution wouldn't be great anyways. I'd imagine this to be a very light weight window manager, for lightweight multitasking, not for playing a tegra 3 game while listening to music and having 2 videos playing, lol.
