APP---11 June 2010 - Magic Poker - A must have app!

This is a post for my friend Jonathan, he has made an awesome app that will scramble your friends brains. It's free and on the market place. He doesn't tell u how to do the trick, but with a little practice and a guess he will email u the directions. See his email below.
Hey guys, this is my first android app. It's called magic poker flip, which is a poker magic property app. You can use it to flip out others selected card by touching the screen. Show it on a party will be cool. You may watch my video here.
Now the android version is on android market as a free app. It's now v2.0, and tested well on 2.1 & 2.2. Not sure about 1.6 & 2.0, but seems can't work on 1.5. The secret of the trick is hidden inside the app, maybe you can guess by yourself how the trick works or try to find the solution somewhere in the app.
Hope you guys will like it and wish you have fun! Thanks!
Thanks Chris for helping me. Some guys have sent me email and just guess the solution right. Congrats..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's two month after my app was published, and tomorrow will be my 21st birthday, so I think it's time to reveal the secret to all you guys, no matter you've solved it or still stuck in it or planning to download it.
The solution of the trick is hidden in 'tutorial', you can enter and reverse your phone to check it if you can't figure it out.
Here I want to thank all the guys who sent my email or PM, your encouragements are my motivation to go further.
For the WM users, really sorry for the delay of your version. I promise it will be OK at early September, at which time I may finish my school project.
Nice app, I'll private message you my guess and my suggestion.
i don't get it. so does the trick work by you revealing a card that someone has chosen?

yes, you can play it with your friend after you get the right solution to the app, like i did in the video.
alright then, i shall try to figure it out. will pm you once i think i got it right
EDIT: Ok, i figured out 50% already. Now to find out the other half
2nd EDIT: I figured out 99% already. Just left that 1%
By the way, this app is really awesome. Smart technique.
Final EDIT: I've solved it! This magic app is by far the most innovative and well thought off that I have seen. (unlike some iphone magic apps that I've tried)
Ha, thanks for the appreciation! Good for you to get it. Just GO & SHOW to your friends, it will be COOL.

Why is it he uses the computer to pick a card? I don't really get it.
I've tried pointing so the camera can see the card and I've tried saying what the card is, the app just gives a random card :?
hmmm, i havent figure it out yet, but was wondering if there is or will be a WM version?

When he finishes his exams, he is going to work on a WM version, but has quite a bit of coding to do. Wish him luck on his exams and I'm sure we'll see Magic Poker and others like it this summer. Good luck Jonathan! And get that Paypal working so we can send ya a dollar. It's the least we could do for your unique App!
Good luck with your exams, Jonathan
mhm....i got it to get the numbers i want, but the colors make me some kind of trouble
EDIT: got the colours also to do what i want...it's pretty neat and well done
Took 2min to find out.
It's pretty neat though.
Great app, guys.
Thanx, I promise it will come to wm, but maybe I can not work this month became of the school assignments. However, I'll reply your email ASAP. If you have some ideas or some needs you can tell me via email and I'll try to create more apps which bring you more fun. Love you, guys.

yeah i think this will replace my osx86 install. just be aware the servers will be jam packed tonight.
Hell yeah! Can't wait to try this out
Wicked!
Shame there's no ARM support in today's release though, would have loved to see W8 on the Tab, Touchpad or Xoom
Windows 8 ? First cousin to Vista ? Just another new system to have the bugs worked out of it ? No thanks.
XP Pro forever !!!
Cool, I thought they will release it later...
I have a feeling windows 8 is gonna be hard to get used to
If you're a technical person it will take you about 7 seconds.
If you can't get used to it, I'll politely ask you to GTFO and never enter this forum again

this is a pre-release beta, no where near final but suppose to be very stable.
If you can't download it tonight, it sure will be available in torrent form soon enough.
I'm ready. I'm about to format my PC reinstalling W7, and Will make an extra partition for W8.
You can see the keynote speech here: http://www.buildwindows.com/
Looks interesting, but will hold judgement until I can have a play. Not sure how well it will work on a non-touch laptop or pc.
Anandtech's hands on with it. At the start they use it with a bluetooth kb+mouse before switching to touch.

We can always switch to apple?
I support users who find XP and Word difficult to use, W8 from a business point of view at first glance is going to be hell.
I can see the support calls now:
"I've lost word, it was there a minute ago and now it's gone"
"Why does this keep appearing when I touch the edge of the screen?"
Or more likely in 2 years time "We've bought a new PC, install XP on it like all the rest"
Someone tell me we can hide Metro, please?
Otherwise MS will have missed the point again. We use interfaces designed for finger input on our phones/tablets because it is practical not because it is the best method (which clearly it isn't) . Likewise we use a keyboard/mouse on a PC rather than touch because they are more efficient.
The download is live on dev.windows.com. Just FYI
The Metro UI in Windows 8 can be deactivated and you can have the "normal" desktop style.
Downloading now!
Not as slow as I thought, sure later when more ppl download will be slower...
Downloading.. Somehow this just doesn't seem so promising as windows 7.. haha
Yep download is up. And is super slow. Chrome tells me 8 hours left lol. A 3.6GB torrent usually takes me about an hour to download

voted for 5 day ago, hope to se offitical Miui v4
I'm quoting from facebook : "the devices to get MIUI V4 should meet the basic conditions: a. With ICS 4.0 from the original factory b. RAM≥512M c. ROM≥1G Those devices who can't meet the above conditions will not get MIUI v4. " ... So our HD2 had come from factory with WM6.5, by hardware let's put it in the same basket as desire, so Android 2.1 (from factory). B. RAM size is manageable I think but C. ROM is half of the requested. I'm looking forward to that though. I voted for HD2
So you KNOW it's the wrong section and you post it never the less. Insta-ban, in my book.

ROFL!! But then I'd be lenient for a couple of day or a week if I were you - it's for a cause.
On a side note, why wont CM team support HD2? The HP Touchpad is not a native Android device, but yet is on the list. Our beloved phone runs CM7 as good as any native device, and CM9 is pretty stable too!

[LWP] Minecraft Skin Live Wallpaper

I'm not sure if i'm in the right section, but i do need help testing on other platforms cause the emulator doesn't support Open ES 2.0. and i only carry a 2.3.3 device. Thanks for the support!
This is a 3D live wallpaper of your Minecraft skin! put your username in for minecraft and show off your skin as your wallpaper!
*****This is a BETA version*****
Please e-mail me of any bug and avoid negative reviews! This live wallpaper will up updated constantly to support more features!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novaspirit.minecraftskin
please let me know if there are bugs or force closes. the Android emulator doesn't support 3D so it's very hard to program to support all environments. i use 2.3.3 and it works fine. and if you guys have any ideas you want to see let me kno. Thanks!
This app works out great on ICS. Nothing to report. Just my opinion: It gets boring after sometime... sry if it hurt you.

The post may be referring to PlayStore compatibility.
Unfortunately I receive an incompatible message on HTC Sensation. (Android 4.0.4).
It looks like a great LWP though. Thanks for the share.

Hi there,
Just some feedback for you.
I've just installed this on SGS2 with no problems at all using a 212 dpi screen resolution. (Hdpi).
Great start! There's a lot of Minecraft fans out there, so the potential is huge.
Cheers.

Its fine on my S2.
My sensation has a screen resolution of 540×960.
It could well be that the Rom at the time may of needed a Market Fix.
Bear with me, I'll try with another Rom that's now installed.
Cheers.
P.s, I've gave a playstore rating also.
OK yes it's fine.
I was running a CM9 nightly at the time, but now it's downloaded just fine with another build.
For reference I've downloaded it twice at different resolutions, 240 ,212 with no issues.
On a side note, check out this game:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindblocks.blocks
It's not just an ordinary Minecraft clone. Highly recommended, and definitely one to watch.
Good luck, I'll keep my eyes on this thread.

Dosent work that great hard to explain what it does but the char. moves with the slightest touch of the screen. the char. turns completely around. Also every time i complete that pesky leadbolt ad the selection "added pose mode" still disabled. guess you only care about money

haha, it's not that i only care about money. but money helps. to keep this application free i implemented ads, i rather not make this only paid.
this is also the first time i'm using lead bolt. i also filed some complains about not completing even tho the user has completed the ad. i'm looking into using something else that is more reliable. they did email me back that it takes a few days for the ads to fully implement into my application. don't know what that means but the app only has been out for 4 days.
thanks for letting me know about the char moves with slightest touch. i looked into that before, i did not add a frame / time counter so next version will be fixed.

Or use any simple ad service and create your own unlock content after clicking an ad. i made a crappy one before but ditched it... got alot of hate mail and comments
I went to install this, but then realized: why does it need the following permissions?
- Coarse (network-based) location
- Fine (GPS) location
- Read phone state and identity
This looks like a fine app, and I would like try it out and help with its development. However, I do not want my privacy invaded. It's a live wallpaper. It shouldn't need these permissions. The only reason why I think you would need these permissions is if the ad-providing plugin required them, in which case I'll skip on this app. Please remove these permissions.

BUMP! I'd really appreciate it if this would somehow work... :victory:
you would think windows would support live wallpapers natively by now, and just disable the feature on lower end computers like they did with aero glas and windows 7. would make allot of users happy
Here you go-- http://www.animated-wallpaper.com/Video-Wallpaper/
Only trial but when it asks you to buy it after trial it will say something like buy with trial play.
Trial play allows you to complete an offer which requires about $2 and then you get the software instead of paying $20 directly for the Video Wallpaper.
IT DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 8!
Such a misleading title... I came here expecting a working method, but just found a question :/ Perhaps add a question tag or a question mark?

The very basic reason for this issue is the support for the flash as the version of dreamscene on windows 8 currently doesn't works on the binaries of the new flash player there are several tools available in the name of DREAMSCENE ENABLER to enable compatibility of the new flash
