As I am new to using Android firsthand, and I ordered a Nexus 7 which comes with a $25 credit to Google Play, I want to know which games are awesome to look at and play on the Nexus 7 with the great Tegra 3 processor. Do any of you know of some great Android games?
Check out tegrazone.com these games will be the best gfx wise and most support USB controllers
Would it be possible to utilise the I/O bus for the non existent rear facing camera for an SD card slot or other other use.
A custom kernel would be needed and possibly drivers.
What's everyone's thoughts on this.

I'd guess not. If you want extra storage, buy a USB OTG cable and plug in a flash drive.
I have read that custom FW for MK808B would not run on a MK808B clone.
a) how do you tell you only have a clone ?
b) does that mean the custom Roms for MK808B won´t run on it ?
At this point I think each require separate roms but roms are usually released for both together.
I even think they are starting to make a single rom for both. Development is picking up on it since the MK808 and MK808B and its fake are essentially the same aside from the radio chips.

Hi,
Just got my MK808B yesterday. Last week, I purchased the SmartStick but was annoyed that it did not come with Bluetooth. I have a ton of bluetooth keyboards, didn't want to spend any more money on keyboards.
Anyway, the MK808B is by far the better of the two.
But of course, now I am also worrying that I might have a clone.
And I'm seeing these firmware upgrades to bring my MK808B from 4,1,1 to 4,2.2 (something from Geekbuying) MK808B Android 4.2.2 Beta.
And of course I'm looking to root, and I did find here on XDA a Tutorial and the drivers to be able to root your devices.
One thing I just found which is fantastic, is the inclusion of a piece of software called 'eHomeMediaCenter' which is a system app. And from the Play Store, I found the following app, MK802 III Remote (there is a MK802 II but it doesn't work). This MK802 III along with the eHomeMediaCenter (I renamed the broadcast name) allows you to remote control your MK808B with an Android Phone or Tablet, keyboard and everything. Total control, No need to purchase any of this special keyboards. It works perfectly.
And I have loaded all my apps that I have on my phone and my tablets with no issue so far.
Thanks!
Rob
PS If you can recommend the newest safe firmware and link, that would be appreciated. Just trying not to brick my $50 system.

My favorite firmware is the Minix Hybrid. It is prerooted. I don't think its 4.2.2 yet but he said he's working on it. Yea the eHomeMediaCenter is cool.
Ill check out that MK802 III app. Hows it work? Put the app on the phone or both? Does it work like an airmouse? That would be cool.

The software is free, so just try it. No not like an airmouse, just a touchpad.
I at first purchased a Smartstick, but didn't like that it did not have Bluetooth.
But it contains the built-in TV Remote which works with what I thought was good, Google's Remote. You put Google Remote on your phone or tablet and then the TV Remote which came with the Smartstick. I liked that as well.
So I'm trying to find a way to install this TV Remote.apk package which I pulled off the Smartstick but was a system app and tried to install it on the MK808B. It didn't work, I wonder if it can even be done?

I'm aware that this topic is rather outdated, but this update may stil be useful to someone
As far as I know, the only way to determine is your device original or clone is to take away plastic cover and look inside.

Hi All,
I have finally shortlisted optimus g and nexus 4. I have to finalize one.
Nexus 4: 16 GB, Optimus G: 32 G
Nexus 4 Latest updates, Optimus G: very slow updates( I meant very slow), and every small developing community ( i meant really very small)
Nexus 4: no LTE, Optimus G: Supports LTE (in india LTE not available)
Nexus 4: no USB OTG support, Optimus G: (Supports pen drive mouse keyboard u name it)
Both devices have reported back cover crack issues and over heating issues. Please provide your views on this.
Both looks good.
Howz gaming performance?
Nexus in india is 25k where as optimus g is 30 k.
So which one to go for.

Go for the Nexus
1. You most likely won't use 32 Gb. I have 8 Gb free on my 16 Gb Nexus(12 Gb usable), with about 40 apps, and 300 songs, 200 photos
2. Updates and community count a lot. The Nexus experience would be greater and more entertaining
3. Nexus can have LTE, if you really want it.
4. Gaming is about the same on both
5. The Nexus does not overheat. The glass on the back is a good heat conductor, which drives away heat from the center of the phone, keeping the core relatively cool. All those people complaining about overheating issues never had a quad core phone before.

Nope, but it's the only thing on USB otg I have found...
Before I bought the phone, I was worried that 16GB might be too little, but I've had the phone for 7 months now and have always had more than 3GB free
Guys can someone reply if they have tried the USB otg.. Do we need to power it externally..

Ffs, someone already posted a link to a OTG thread here, click it and search, you lazy ass.
Fry's currently has these for $55 in store. Picked one up yesterday with the thoughts of using it with Yaste for my XBMC PC. The specs are listed as but Hardware Info reports the followin in "()".
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (4.1.1)
1.3GHz Dual Core Processor (ARM7 rev 1 v71 with 2 cores at 1032Mhz)
8GB Internal Storage
Expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD card
8GB Cloud Storage Available
1GB RAM
7-inch HD 1024x600 Screen (6.55" 976x600 160dpi)
Google Play Certified (Yes all the Google apps and store work from the start, no junk store to deal with)
Front Facing 0.3MP Camera
Mini HDMI Port
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
(no bluetooth or GPS)
Performance and response times were extremely surprising. Battery life is short, but for $55 bucks worth every penny. Sale ends on 6/19 so if your looking for a cheap tablet to play with this may be what your looking for. :laugh:
