Are there any apps that would allow you to screenshot on the droid like you can for the iphone?

are you rooted?

and what Droid are you having

No... and i'm on the droid x

What's the best custom rom for a DROIDPro?

This is what I use on my Photon you can try it on your Droid X - If you were rooted you could try ShootMe in the Market

Back on topic Madden for Android is pretty fun with Decent Graphics - my stats after my first game I played:

Not sure as I don't know anyone that uses a Droid Pro that would hack it but if you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=834 you should be able to find out

Interesting to see a different model. I'll check a few out just for fun.

Aside from those mentioned in the article, Swiftkey X is on there for any of you who have been thinking of giving it a try.

I love Swiftkey X.

ZD Box is a nice all-in-one toolbox. I was able to get rid of App2SD, Uninstaller, and Advanced Task Killer.

Please people

Get rid of your Task Killers
They do no good for your phone - they are worse for you than not using them

Trust me on this one - but if you dont:

Just downloaded it. Seems to pretty good. Got TuneIn Radio Pro for free. It's a little slow loading. Thanks face.

SwiftKey is great. By far and away better than any other keyboards.

I love Swiftkey X.

Very intuitive. It remembers everything. It doesn't only remember what you type, but it gathers data from sites you visit.

FYI Netflix is now available on all froyo and gingerbread devices.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Unless you have a tablet. Thumb Keyboard rocks it for that.

Works on Honeycomb as well, just have to sideload.

Any other opinions on this game? It pretty much gets ripped apart in the review section of the market, same with Need for Speed Shift which I would really love to have if it plays well. I don't want to drop $7 on Madden to have it suck ass.

Its fun to play as the Chiefs when I'm feeling the need

Gameplay is ok but could use some improvement or I just need to play more.

If you have a powerful android device 7 is pretty good considering all the nfl licensing required.

They have been good at updating the app so far as well

Thanks man. Don't know if this has been mentioned in the thread, but Card Ace Blackjack is way cool. Very fun, play it daily, and it is free unless you wanna buy tons of credits. Just don't lose much....haha.

Dragon, Fly is a really addictive simple game if anyone is interested

Jamaal Charles needs more carries.

That is funny as hell in this case, because that is one of the criticisms that seems to be valid. Supposedly you CANNOT run the ball in this game. Hell, look at those stats,

My Nexus S should be coming any day now. Excited to get Android.

Just got my Nexus S. It's pretty cool.

Root it. CM7

I'm not good with technology but my brother who works for Sprint says not to root it. First off what is rooting and what will it do?

It will unlock beastmode and give you direct access to the elders of the internet...

Of course he said that. He works for the man.

I switched to Sprint 2 weeks ago. I got a free EVO.

I'm running CM7. I have free hotspot. I have full HDMI mirroring. That means I can take my phone anywhere with wifi or 4G and a HDTV and watch Netflix.
Running CM7 basically means the ****ing phone works like you want it to. Fully customizable. No lagging. Removes the Sprint/HTC bloatware. Better battery life, etc.

What kind of plan do you have? I get unlimited everything for 30 a month.

$30/mo? You must have connections.

My unlimited plan is 80.

That's why mine last 8 hours instead of 4.

Did not matter till this year. IIRC.

That info is from when, May I ask.

Was going to say Sprint but that is not correct. Its 25 or 35 IIRC on basic employees. I pay 35 just to terrorize the planet. TY.

Course it is 30 with AAA plan........Just 4 times though a year.

LOL. Of course they made an exception for you. Either you cant read or have road hazard for 25 plus 5 on Sprint. I mean 30 gets unlimited. 25 is 500 minutes plus all notta IIRC.

I call you out if on Sprint Bo. I can show all plan public or employee if you like.

LOL

Prove it if I may ask. Its 500 minimum for basic talk plus cell to cell. I bill for Sprint.

8 hours? That sucks. I can go a couple days on a charge on my evo without using a task killer.

3g?

I use the power widget and turn off 3g and 4g when I'm not using it. That's what burns up your battery the most. I usually use wifi anyway. It doesn't drain the battery near as much.

2 days?

A cellular dick measuring contest LMAO

You're a bundle of sticks.

I know right? I simply mention my plan unlimited plan to see how it's different than this rooting thing Dave was talking about and this douche comes in saying i'm lying. Lol who lies about a cell phone plan?

Seriously, how are you getting it that cheap?

Rooting has nothing to do with your plan.

Rooting is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices. It is analogous to jailbreaking on devices running the Apple iOS operating system.

The date of the info isn't relevant - I am getting 17 hours on my photon using 3g/wifi/4g as I see fit.

I was getting about 12 on my EVO but I digress...

The info is always and will continue to be valid because Android uses the Linux Kernel
Here is some light reading that will help you understand a bit better

http://developer.android.com/guide/t...damentals.html

Like your post said I have connections. I didn't mean to come across as bragging about it.

So far Tunein radio has been the best app and it's not even close.

I get anywhere from a day to two days depending on usage on my EVO. I use the Tasker app to turn on WiFi when it recognizes the IP address of my home and work networks. I have it set to turn GPS on when the apps that need it are accessed. And I don't use a Task Killer but I do use Set CPU.

If you're not using Tasker, you're missing out. Big time. I never toggle anything, because I've already set up the Tasker rules to direct my phone to toggle based on my typical behavior. It's great.

Try Slacker

I didn't figure you were bragging. I was curious as to why your bill is so low.

I had Slack on my Hd2 which was Windows mobile. It was ok but this TuneIn radio is 100X better IMO

TuneIn Pro is free on getjar

Tunein is a nice app. I prefer Internet radio. I actually pay the $3.99/mo because I hate commercials. I use it all nite at work, so I'm getting my money's worth.

does netflix always play the HD version of the movie, if available? on the pc, there's no way to force it to play HD that i can tell.

Internet connection determines picture quality. If there is no HD version, then it plays the SD version, assuming there is one.

right so more than likely, its playing in SD from your phone even if connected to an HDTV?

Good question. When I use it like that, it's using wifi. The quality isn't quite as good as it is when I stream thru my Roku.

While there is some video loss, it's handy to have when visiting friends who don't have Netflix.

that's exactly what i was thinking. i had situation the other night when that would have been perfect. i also would like to play a youtube playlist or some other audio, and have it output over hdmi to the tv with a visualization like winamp or whatever. that'd be nice too

The mobile app is not capable of HD. With my video quality set to "best" on my Netflix account and 20+ Mb speeds via WiFi neither my phone or tablet have ever gotten HD quality video.

The HD version of netflix will only be on certain phones

http://www.androidcentral.com/ti-ach...ndroid-devices

as a side note the Photon is MUCH better at HDMI out than the EVO on all aspects

Let's hope they manage compatibility checks through the market rather than the app so we can sideload (like I'm forced to do on my Xoom).

I decided to check tasker out based on this post. You say it helps your battery life? I read a lot of reviews that said they loved the app but it cut their battery life in half.

How do I play netflix on my phone to my TV? I have a motorola cord and I get sound but not picture.

I've never had battery issues with Tasker. It makes my phone more efficient, which in turn improves battery life.

If you don't have HDMI out on your phone, you can't. Plus, you need an app to mirror it and none of that will work unless you're rooted.

I just dumped my PalmPre after 2 1/2 years. One of the things I really liked about it was that the developers programmed it to spoof an Apple device when hooking it to my PC through the USB cord. I would open Itunes and it would show up as a device and I could easiliy sink my playlists to it.

All of my music is in Itunes.

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Touch. What is the best way to my my Itunes music onto my phone?

Try this: http://ita.sourceforge.net/

Follow instructions here: http://androidforums.com/android-med...s-android.html

Thanks Fish. I wasn't able to get it to work and someone in the comments posted about isyncr which was easier to use and only $3. I wouldn't have found it without you.

BTW, I love the SGS II. It blows the Pre out of the water.

thats only if he has an EVO

My photon Mirrors HDMI without root out of the box

Ah, cool. He has a Nexus S. I doubt it does hdmi out.

I looked it up and it doesn't which sucks I don't have cable but found an app that plays some of the college football games from ESPN. That would have been huge.


On another note: Whats the weather widget the HTC HD2 & Evo use? I love it and would love to get it on my Nexus S.

I am a lot of things but not a name changer Billaybiter.

Its part of HTC sense but you can download the look a like beautiful widgets it will fulfill your desires

Beautiful Widgets is awesome.

The best!

Sprint FINALLY updated my phone (Optimus S) to Gingerbread. About damn time!

PDANET you'll never need to pay for internet again. This thing is going to save me hundreds.
