Bluestacks Android emulator

cammykool · May 2nd, 2012, 07:51 PM

anyone thought about making a forum for this thre isnt really one and there is alot of good stuff but its so fragmented we could bring it all together i have a bluestacks emulater crammed on my PC took 3 hours to root and install play store the information is to scattered so what do you say?

**Phases** · May 3rd, 2012, 11:36 AM

I like it. Pretty cool stuff.

I particularly like this:

BlueStacks Android Application Launcher for Windows on Peau Productions Touchscreen TV (Review) - YouTube

If enough interest is shown I'll make a forum for it - though I'm not sure where.

could be concidered a tablet

SUroot · May 3rd, 2012, 02:50 PM

You can even get android tv boxes. Perhaps an "other android devices" area is in order to parallel "android phones" and "android tablets"

**Phases** · May 3rd, 2012, 02:55 PM

Well that's what I was thinking about - I think it would be most used on one of those touch TVs or computer systems..

Otherwise, it's an app you install on computers - correct? It's not a tablet or phone.

We have an other Android devices section. I was debating putting it there vs a subforum to say, applications or lounge etc.

pretty much exactly what it is since ive had alot of experience i can knda keep an eye on the forum like AndyOpie150 does to the LG Optimus forums

Og sorry. Thought it was an OS

cammykool · May 4th, 2012, 02:56 AM

acuilly other devices wouldn't be bad as long as it gets its own section and i get too be the guide for it

Lol im kidding but if you did thst would be so cool :O

SUroot · May 4th, 2012, 05:44 AM

Sorry for putting words in Phases' mouth, but just so you are aware, guides aren't limited to one forum / sub forum. They are expected to work accross multiple forums, often even in device sections you are not familiar with.

cammykool · May 4th, 2012, 10:34 AM

i know. and understand completely i now andy has all the optimus forums to do and thats alot

cammykool · May 5th, 2012, 02:25 PM

so would you even be interested in adding the bluestacks fourms

**Phases** · May 5th, 2012, 04:02 PM

Well I was hoping to see a little more interest shown, but I don't mind, I just need to decide the best place for it.

It's a software package you install on a computer.

It's also a software package you can use to RUN a computer- and if there were any even partly mass produced models it could be considered a 'device' forum. Which would make this easier, but there's not.

So really I just need to decide an appropriate place for it. I haven't thought much on it, but I haven't forgot!

Maybe and android "pc tools" sub of android applications. Things like "my phone explorer" would fit there too.

That's a neat idea ...

That's not a bad idea. This way multiple things would fit and if anything then got lots of attention we could consider its own forum.

Not sure about "pc" tools though... Computer Application/Tools ... ?

SUroot · May 6th, 2012, 09:54 AM

Any all encompassing iteration would be fine. The word computer though... hmmm.

I suppose we'd have to use it. It's just so 1970s

SUroot · May 6th, 2012, 09:56 AM

What about "the android tools and applications for non android based devices including (but not exclusive to) windows, Linux and mac based desktop and laptop hardware forum"?

Wait ; What !!!

(Will love to see such forum

)

On side note I dont know how to name such forum .

Non-android Device applications ?

**Phases** · May 6th, 2012, 09:27 PM

Yeah I don't like "computer" either. Or PC, really.

SUroot · May 7th, 2012, 08:28 AM

Maybe simply "desktop applications". It fits the hardware type of desktop computers but also the desktop environment of a laptop. We all know in android, they're "homescreens" instead....

**Phases** · May 7th, 2012, 08:59 AM

That's not bad..

cammykool · May 7th, 2012, 11:25 AM

bluestacks is a windows only applacation

Thats not really the point. It won't be the only application fitting this category so the category must incorporate all "computer" OS's

DaSchmarotzer · May 8th, 2012, 12:05 AM

A forum for that? I think a thread would be enough.

**Phases** · May 19th, 2012, 02:39 PM

Ok just to get something out there for goodness sake, I put "BlueStacks" in the Other Devices section. Mostly because that is the main use I see of it that would be worthy of an actual independent forum.

I realize there will be some other discussion, and that can go either in there or in Applications or Lounge. If there gets to be plenty of it, we'll think on an additional or different subforum.
