N64 Emulator removed

The Nintendo 64 Emulator N64oid was taken from the market.
https://market.android.com/search?q=n64oid&c=apps
This is very bad news for people who were waiting to get a new phone to play the graphically intensive n64 games.
Hopefully it will come back, but it looks like it may be gone for good.

Link dead. But yea what the heck are they doing?

wow. They charge you for the app then you flash a rom try to recover it and its gone anybody know why it's gone?

Some guy on a forum said google is doing a crackdown on emulation.

Don't worry, it wouldn't be because the dev is poor. He's coded all the other great emulators. Apparently it was Google laying the smack down.
People are sharing the .apk, but I'm sure if you email the dev he'll share it with you directly as you've legitimately paid for it as well. I did so too but thankfully have it backed up for when I get my Atrix.

do you think they will start removing the other emulators? I've been putting off buying one and if they are being taken down I mind as well buy now while I can.

I emailed Yongzh and got this as a reply:
"Yong Zhang to me
show details 1:00 PM (2 hours ago)
A great number of users are complaining about the compatibility and running performance. I am doing a rewrite of some of the core modules. Don't worry, N64oid will be back much better in 1-2 months.
Thanks for the understanding! I won't let people down."

Spiderman Mayhem Fix/Work around

Does anyone else have the problem of Spiderman Mayhem freezing everytime you try to start the Mystery Infection Invades City level?
*Play your copy of Spiderman up until the part where it starts freezing.
*Backup your sd card copy if you want to save it for when or if Gameloft ever fixes Spiderman.
*Unzip download below and replace your Spiderman file inside the Gameloft folder on your SD card with new file.
*Say yes when it asks to replace.
*Turn on your WI-FI and connect to a WI-FI network.
*Launch your Spiderman Mayhem Game.
*When it says it needs to download more data, say YES.
*When its done, play the game.
This allows you to bypasses the Mystery Infection level and starts you on the next level.
You will not be able to play Mystery Infection (Octorama) level on the tab EVER!! Or at least until Gameloft fixes the game. There is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. Unfortunately, you will not be able to fight Doc Oc, either. Drag I know.
AGAIN, there is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. During no point, on any save location along this level, have I been able to load it on my tab.
So I passed it for you, and now you can "finish" this awsome game.
Also, another unfortunate.... this is MY game save progress. MY upgrades, and all that.
Bummer.
Well now you can continue to play this awsome game and also play with the black suit! Its great, but you still have to earn it.
Also, when you beat the game and get the suit and start the game again, DO NOT PLAY THE MYSTERY INFECTION LEVEL, Also known as OCTO-RAMA!!!, it will freeze up again like your game is now, just pick the next level.
I know this isn't the best workaround, but at least its something......
Download this here: http://www.4shared.com/file/3tMMpjQl/Spiderman.html
ENJOY!!!
Please let my know if there are any issues, or if someone can help isolate the files needed to bypass but so players can keep their stats.
*This does not include the game, buy your own.....
If I helped, hit the thanks button!!

Are you using the galaxy tab version?

spiderman mayhem
Yes i am using the game for the tab that was actually purchased through gameloft on my tab. It is 130 here. I am gonna sleep and post the fix/workaroind tom. Play the game up till the freeze on mystery infection level. This fix will alow you to skip that part and continue on with the game. I am playing right now with the venom suit its awsome. Just needed to know that there is alittle interest before I go through the work of posting it. Your power ups might change, and be replased by mine, but mine are almost maxed out.
UPDATE: So I played back around back up to the Mystery Infection level in the venom suit. It froze again. The level is called something like Octorama or something. Just dont select this once i post the work around, until we can figure out why this happens on this level.

Its not a fix, but a way to get to the next point and finish the game. Lets face it, this game is awesome and needs to be played, and Gameloft is not doing anything to fix it. They still sell the broken game though.

Sorry about the wait guys, I returned from work today and my comp and tab are refusing to communicate. Since I have to transfer large files from my internal SD to comp and back a few times to create the workaround, I need to fix this first.

I also had the same problem, really frustrating. I contacted their support and this is the response I got.

Typical Gameloft. They sold games for the Desire eventhough they knew it wasn't capable of true multi touch. I emailed them and they stated they were aware of this issue before they even ported the game to the device. But they claimed it was so Desire users 'could enjoy the game's
How can you enjoy a game if you can't play it? They are ridiculous.

Thank you very much. It works now.
Once I replaced my files with yours and did the wi-fi update, I started the game and continue my game and it start me out at the level where there are green goblin men which I have not seen before.
My son got to the that "infected level" and it force close and had no idea why. He is only 4 and a half years old but he is pretty good at this Spiderman game. I just told him that he has reached the end of the game when it force closes.
Now he will be able to play the game again but I guess I have to tell him that I was wrong about him finishing the game.
Anyway, thanks for the fix.

Your welcome. I wish everyone could fight doc oc but atleast there is new life breathed into the game. Doc oc was the second to last level and you are now on the last level. Once you beat the game, go to choose level. Then choose the little t shirt on the uper left. There is your venom suit! Its like a new game with the black suit. Dont forget to skip the level where it froze when you come back around.

Is this thread still wanted? or can I take this off of my 4shared?

Woah.. Don't remove it yet! I thought my data got corrupted and I reinstalled the whole game, starting from scratch.
At least now I know it is a software issue!

Cool. No worries. Just checking. And also i know tbat threads get lost, and this brought it back up to the top.

Adobe Flash Death

Did you only read half the news? Adobe is going to be focusing on Air for mobile devices.

I love it, Steve Jobs is laughing in his grave. He told Adobe straight up they would have to switch to hdml 5 like his iphone.

It's not that they "had to;" it was more that it's a better business decision, plus they can still use Air along with HTML5, which isn't that bad.

Its really not, owning both I would say most websites use html5 due too most users at one time on mobile websites where iOS users. So you really dont ever notice flash not working except on the dumb ads where you dont want videos running anyways. Ohh and for porn. If your a porn junky then yes your android phone will plya a lot more than iOS since crappy porn sites still use crappy flash.

Hi there, Speaking of death prediction, I find it really odd that one of the on-line death prediction services showed me the same death date that I was foretold in my dream about a year ago. http ://yourdeathdate. info/1/index. html - I can’t explain this coincidence in any other way except that there must be some kind of magic involved here.

As someone who uses both iOS and Android every day of my life I have to completely disagree with you. I love both for different reasons but the biggest downfall of the iPad is that it doesn't play flash. I spend allot of time looking through different news sites for tech & gaming and whenever there is a video I most likely will not be able to play it, only like 30% of the time will the video be playable. The biggest contribution to the problem is NO YouTube, yes there is a dedicated app, but when you try to play an embedded YouTube video it does NOT open the app and play it, it instead says "Please install flash".. Anybody that has spent any amount of time with an iOS device knows what I'm saying is true and the lack of Flash is a pain in the ass! Either your kidding yourself or you dont spend much time browsing the internets. True story.

I see it as a bad move from Adobe. Almost as if they where waiting for Steve Jobs to pass out to call it off!
I know Html5 is cool and all, but not quite as robust as Flash.
It still can't do as much as Fash does natively and by itself.
Html5 has to rely on yet another layer of code called Javascript to do even pretty basic stuff.
In the end consumers will pay the price at least until developers decide to redo all their stuff on Html5. I know that Adobe is working on a conversion platform but results are yet sketchy.
Cheers!

Capabilities of this type of device
Got mine its decent. Does anyone know if there will be very much development for this device.
I know they said they would put out some OTA updates and root was a possibility in the future.
This is my first device of this nature and I am clueless to any possibilities it may have. I know I like
to root any device I can and I'm hoping to do the same with this.

I'm just hoping their OTA updates fix the crashing, hell when some apps crash and it asks if you want to report it, the report crashes as well!

I ordered two of these. It is junk. Move along. Laggy and one of my units is broken. Company doesnt care. It is just a rebranded CX-01...

Well the last few comments are not encouraging.. Picking mine up on Thursday...
Anyone had an opportunity to try Plex on it yet? That was the main reason I bought it.

It looks to me like they do care quite a bit. They are answering all kinds of questions on the Kickstarter backer's page and on Facebook. I believe that they are working hard on an OTA update to be released very soon....At least I hope it's soon.
As for the broken one, have you emailed [email protected] with your concerns?

I bought mine for plex as well and no luck so far. It won't connect to my server despite every other android device I have being able to. Commenters on Kickstarter are reporting problems with it as well.

Got Root
I got this device rooted awhile back and downloaded some apps to help with
performance. It runs alot better now. I can't beleive they couldn't fix some of these
issues before it came out. I installed the beta updates they put out and it helped.
It seems like they don't want to give out the info needed for people to do developement
because they are afraid someone will get it up and running better then they can.
I'm just looking forward to running custom roms on this thing.

I've owned one of these, and also a bunch of the dual core sticks.
The Equiso is not worth the price. It is pretty much a cx-01 or c-77.
I found the video performance to be substandard.
I sold it for a loss after a week.
You can get a dual core for cheaper.
Even the original MK802(single core allwinner a10) is better.
If I had to buy a stick right now it would be the dual core MX1.
If I wanted to wait I would pick up the GK802 quad core stick(freescale soc!) or the uHost2 dual core stick.(more usb)
Let the buyer beware though! Check out everything you can before you buy!

Wow, that uhost2 looks really good. Would you happen to know of any good reliable retailers that have the Bluetooth capable one???

I received my pro two weeks ago. No image on my tv whatsoever. Tried on my friends brand new tv where it works. Imagine buying a dvd-player only to find out it is not compatible with your tv.... sucks.... no answer regarding update from the support either
Tried on another TV. Works but hängs and bootloops every time I connect to wifi or change video settings

Bought this tv stick at Wallmart
I have purchased this TV stick at Walmart the stock Rom is buggy until you root it and change the CPU governor. I have rooted it and removed the equiso update file from system/app now it doesn't pop up all the time which was kind of annoying. I have done some simple stuff to this TV stick and it works well I agree with the other post though this should of been done before it was released.

Pandora 5.7 Force Closing Constantly

Ever since the update to Pandora with the refreshed UI, it FCs and locks up my phone any time I run it. If I leave my phone alone, the songs will play like they should, but as soon as I unlock my screen, the first song that played when I opened Pandora is still listed as the current track, and the "Wait or Close" dialog box is up. And then I have to pull my battery, because nothing happens when I hit either Wait or Close.
Is anyone else having this issue or know of a solution? I'm on a Verizon rooted/busyboxed/debloated S5 and Pandora worked perfectly with it until the update. So I'm doubting that it's the phone.
Thanks,
Z

I'm having the exact same issue with Pandora on my S5. Not too happy about it either since I pay for Pandora One and primarily use Pandora through my phone. I emailed them today about the issue. I'll update this when I get a reply from them.
There's quiet a few 1 star reviews in the Google Play store after the most recent update, complaining about the same issue, so the problem seems pretty widespread.

Pandora 5.7 is malfunctioning on rooted S4
Same issue on my rooted S4 running hyperdrive, except, it continues playback but it black screens when touchresponse freezes! I also have to battery pull and it sucks! Pandora Dev's!!!! Quit trying to be like IHeartRadio!!!!!! you guys were the first! just keep it simple and try not to sacrifice sound quality, speed or selection for appearance...no one cares when they use it on their phone...We set the station, plug in the AUX cable and walk away! that's it! one more thing, I know it's not because we're rooted because there are many people experiencing the same issue who are not rooted and customed rommed!!!! I would suggest that you investigate what it is with samsung phones that are interfering with your new "5.7" build?!?!?!.... sounds like most of us samsung user's are going to switch over to IHeartRadio or Spotify until you fix this trainwreck! Thanks.

I got a reply from Pandora support last night, asking for some more info (android version, phone version, carrier, etc) and further description of the issue so that they can forward it to the engineering team.
I responded this morning, so we'll see how long it takes to hear back from them.
Sickbox9, I forgot to mention in my original post that my s5 is rooted (but not running a custom rom). Like your said, I highly doubt that's the issue tho since non rooted users are having the exact same problems.

same problem here. I am running an adblocking hosts file and I thought that could be the cause.
