why don't you head over to the tweak thread. lotta things hidden you might want. like gps photos. extra camera modes etc. etc.

Congrats on getting the HD2 mate!
I recommend Experiment 13 game its a really good laugh!
I love playing about with Shazam as well, always using it when a random song comes on in a movie and i want to know who sings it!
but i'm still new myself and learning what apps are best!

Congratulation from my side as well ;-)

Don't be shy. just try everything you think it might be of any use to you. Take a note of your favourites and then go for a hard reset once you think you have the baby there where you need it to be. Then go for all your favs.
You will have a bunch of fun ;-)

I would recommend fpsece, a playstation one emulator. this app just simply rox. http://www.fpsece.net/ donators version is even better - multitouch and save state.

Thanks dudes will take a look!!!
I've seen shazam on the iPhone so would like to get that for my HD2!

Hi Folks,
I've just ordered mine with the Virgin UK offer. Should arrive tomorrow
I will no doubt be an active member of the forum.

welcome to the forum then...

Hey mate, I just got mine too. I'm also on Vodafone. Would I be right in saying you signed up as a business customer?
Any chance you've figured out how to update the firmware, because Vodafone haven't released an update yet..?

Hey Tuffy,
I got mine from Phones4U for Free (24 month contract tho!!)
I signed up on HTC.com for e-club and they release ROM updates on there dude.
I installed Experiment 13... Got it from freeware pocket pc, its pretty sweet game for free!!

if you install core player you will dont need a converter for the most of video formats!!

Ooohhh cool! ty

Unless your video is over 1008 pixels wide.... unfortunately core player won't support that and you need to encode it at a lower size

Anyone get Lets Golf?

Anyone get Lets Golf to work? I tried a free download and it don't work and also tried to download from Gameloft with no luck.
Thanks
http://www.gameloft.com/smartphone/lets-golf/

OMG Those are some of the best looking games I've seen for mobile!!
Those games don't look far behind the PSP.
I'll be trying out HAWX tonight
And I'll give Let's Golf a try too, I'll let you know if it works for me.

Game Loft is putting out some great games.. It makes me wish I had a droid just for the keyboard. ( I need to buy one of them external mini keyboards.
**EDIT**
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qnpx51PPoY&feature=channel
This is by far the BEST online multilayer game for the android. (or so it looks)
I'm a FPS guy. And this looks very smooth for a phone. (heck! for a psp too)

OMG...
would love to hear some reviews of these games on the HERO..

Like I said above I'll be trying at least one or two of them tonight but the more I look at their site the more doubt I have these games will run well on the hero, they seem to be pretty... graphically intensive. And they are presented as running on a motodroid
We'll see. I will definitely be reading their refund policy first

I have all the gameloft games on my pre and I can say that they look good, but they are really hard to play on touchscreen controls. I do agree that they are pretty much psp quality. Especially let's golf and asphalt 5.
People have complained that it is choppy on the Nexus One. I wonder how they will be on the Evo.

I don't see these games on the market.. Where can I get them?
Thanks

I know but you don't get updates that way..
There is no way to buy it where you get updates too??

I was curious so I checked their site:
"Gameloft products can be selected as downloadable software from our online store. We accept absolutely no returns on game downloads. Should you be unable to download the game, select a game that is incompatible with your phone, lack sufficient credit to download it, or have a problem with your internet service, you will not be refunded. If you complete payment more than once, you will not be refunded. We reserve the right to replace your purchase with another game in exchange. If for any reason you do not receive the game or find yourself unable to install it because of a technical problem, we will gladly resend it and work with you to resolve the problem. However, once the game is successfully installed, we cannot resend it for any reason, unless you buy it again. One purchase entitles you to one download of the game to one phone number and on one phone model only. If you delete or otherwise remove the game from your phone, you will have to buy it again."
I will keep an eye on this thread to see if we get any confirmations. the games look great!

I have a Sprint Hero with DC 2.08.1
I do see some on the Market Place!!!
do a search on
gameloft
assassin's creed
asphalt
Prince of Persia
also.. i found on there another interesting game:
Crusade of destiny
I am like you guys.. I would prefer to try games in the Market so I can get updates and the 24hr return policy.

I wouldn't buy if I couldn't get a refund if it doesn't work on my phone. 7 bucks is a lot of money to gamble with for a game that I wouldn't use that often.

Anyone buy any of gamelofts games from there site to sere if they work on our heros okay yet?

No

I tried but it only gives Verizon as a carrier and Hero is not listed under phones so I could not complete the order.

Hmm Well I decided to DL it from a warez site just now to make sure it worked before I bought it and it only shows 1/4 of the screen.
BUT
That could be because I didn't get it from there site idk.
I don't want to be out of 7 bucks so i will just stick to thinking it will only show 1/4 of the screen.

Response from Gameloft

[Q] Crazy 3D Game

I just saw a peer of mine play this game on his samsung wave at uni called AR DEFENDER.
Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k56ZtfZYG7E&feature=player_embedded
Do any of you happen to know something similar for Android platform?

TT SICK><. Hope android have it. i don't mind paying for it

great game.
on the website is says
symbian,iphone nintendo dsi comming soon,nothing about android
http://www.augmentedplanet.com/tag/android/

Lol damn it. It's a pretty nifty idea though.

interesting indeed

idk if this will come to fruition, but it appears that mattel may be working on something
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXtq1qBMLIw&feature=player_embedded

Still nothing on ARdefender for Android? Would love this game!

So kool.
Sent from my rooted android over9000 x10i using swype on the xda app.

Pretty cool. But even if it did come to Android you could be sure that it would require more then 2.1,,, let alone 1.6!
I read something about a clue style (who done it) game in the works using google maps and/or layers that is multi player.

Take a look at this...

Does look good! Although the Mattel game requires Multitouch ... damn !!
and also... release date?

Pocket Legends!

Hi Guys,
Just thought i'd start a thread about this game, it's just been released in Beta format for Android - its originally an iphone MMO RPG game. You create a character and go off on quests with buddies - similar to WoW but a lot more basic...
Anyway its a freebie and a great little game so worth a go - its 28mb download size though so may wanna grab it while on a wireless connection.
It has great 3D graphics and runs really smooth!
Maybe see some of you guys in game - im Atolo a warrior
Cheers
Paul

Where is the link or where can you download it
Cheers

too bad there arent any guilds in the game yet

Fine game indeed

Another good free game from Market is Pocket Empires. You build up cities, tech levels, fight monsters and opposing players, and build wealth. It's another MMORPG, has alot of cool features like alliances, stock market to trade goods/troops, huge map, thousands of other players, world/alliance/market chats, plus you don't have to play it constantly. You can put it down and come back to it on your own time. If you guys get tired of Pocket Legends, and want to try another game for awhile, check it out

[REQ]Porting NFS Most Wanted

Hi guys,what's up?
Since seeing what an amazing phone the DHD is and how powerful,I thought that maybe there would be a way of porting one of my all-time favorite games,NFS Most Wanted.The idea came to me after seeing a Quake port running on Desire and Galaxy S and thought,what the hell?Can something like this happen with Most Wanted?
First off,is it possible to do that?If yes,how?
Secondly,are there people who are interested and would like to participate?
Thanks!

entirely not possible, only reason you see quake doom ect.. is because alot of them go open source so we have access to the engine files to actually modify and port.
also quake doom ect dont rely on a DX only renderer which is all the nfs black box engine supports android requires openGL, personally id like to see the original halflife ported before anything like NFS

Tell me about itcold beer - €5. junkfood - €10. a good old Crossfire duel on the DHD - priceless

That doesn't sound bad either!
