    Anything like Front Mission 3

    Years ago I played a game on the Playstation (or was it PS2?) called Front Mission 3. A Japanese turn by turn tactics game with the usual battle robots fighting. Was thinking that this sort of game should work well on touchscreen and wondered whether there was anything like it on Android. Final...

    Root Recommend me a new ROM

    I've been an AOKP user for the last 2 years or so on both my GNex and N5. I've hardly run any other rom in that time. Trouble is the team seem to have run out of steam. No worthwhile enhancements (IMHO) pretty much since the start of the year, nightlies that happen every 2-3 weeks and...

In between the flash and the restore I bought an app Now when I look on my phone its not purchased but on my tablet it is!

    Root Quick Boot on my phone but I never installed it

    Finally got round to rooting my N5 yesterday. Used SuperSU and and flashed TWRP recovery. Whilst looking through my app drawer I noticed and app called "Quick Boot". Which I'd not installed. Looking through the file details using Solid Explorer it had an install date of 1st August 2008. So...

    Help Updating apps on Desire that's not been used for 18 months

    My Desire has lain in a drawer for the past 18 months since I got my Galaxy Nexus (soon to be replaced) and I've just dusted it off to use as an mp3 player and alarm clock when I go on holiday. I've cleared down almost all of the apps and want to update the remaining ones but nothing seems to...

    Google Now directions to work - the long way round

    One of the more annoying things about Google Now (there are a few but I'm sticking with it and hoping it gets better) is the route it sends me to work. I've a 25 mile journey but somehow its turned it 40 buy taking a huge detour half way through the route. It's as if it seems to think a road...

    ES File Explorer screwing up Download folder

    It's happened twice now (forgot how I solved it last time a couple of months ago) - ES explorer is not allowing me access to the Download folder on the 'SDCARD' area of my GNex. In properties it says its a folder with 29 files but I can't access it and it doesn't have a folder icon alongside...

    Voda pulled 4.0.4 update?

    Anyone know anything about this? One of the Voda Uk staff posted this on their forum saying that Google had pulled the update. Now I'm running a custom 4.0.4 rom so am not too fussed but wondered what the problem was.

    Help GO Launcher Lag

    Anyone elase getting a lot of lag when using GO Launcher on their Nexus? Specifically when moving between screens and into and out of the app drawer. I've had to go back to the stock launcher because GO was making the phone slower than my old Desire was running GO Launcher. Pity because I...

    [International / GSM] Rooted GNex - What will I lose if I OTA update

    Got my Nexus on Friday, rooted on Saturday - am too attached to the benefits (adblocking, Titanium etc). I've currently left the stock rom in place though as I'm still loving that ICS goodness and want to take my time choosing a rom. My question is : will I lose root/recovery/unlock if I do an...

    Root Stripping A2SD from a rom

    I'm looking at upgrading my Desire now that I'm in the 90 day window of the 2 years. Nexus is looking like the most likely. I'm going to keep the Desire and use it for gps duties (and hopefully never used emergency calls) for my mountain bike. I'll therefore be uninstalling most of the apps and...

    Help Home key not working

    Last few days my home button seems not to be working properly. The keypress is definitely registered as the screen flickers and the notification bar appears. I'm using Go Launcher and have the button mapped to home screen then preview. This has not changed recently. Have changed it but...

    Root Time for a rom change ..... your thoughts

    Been using LeeDroid roms for around a year now. Still on the last FroYo build as it works nicely for me. I'm using less and less of Sense though - flashed the rom without widgets, launcher and lockscreen and using apps to replace them. GO Launcher, Widgetlocker etc. So I feel the need for a...

    Help Lost data connection

    Woke up this morning and the phone had no cell signal just the home wi-fi. Though nothing more of it as my wife's X10 was the same - assumed there was a local mast problem. Got to work and there was no data connection. No H or G next to the signal bars and no up/down arrows. I can get it to...

    Plume widget strangeness

    Just moved from Tweetdeck to Plume (Formerly Touiteur) and liking it so far especially the widget. Trouble is every tweet in the widget has a gmail icon overlaid. Looking at screenshots it doesn't seem normal. It also doesn't seem to do anything - you can't click on it. Any thoughts? Edit...

Made a gold card a few months back (a day before before Voda got their act together with their unbloated 2.2) and now finally got round to rooting it last week (unrevoked) and have been looking around for a rom to flash since then. Have a...

    Help Disappearing apps

    Have recently noticed that some of my apps are disappearing, usually after a reboot. They are still on the phone (need to look in settings > applications) but don't appear in the app drawer or in the market downloads screen. It only seems to happen to those that have been moved to the SD and...

    Phone rebooting whe I get first email of the day

    This was happening to me a few weeks ago then stopped. After a month or so of not happening it has started again. The phone seems to reboot itself around once per day. I only notice it because of the lovely loud boot sound. I've also noticed it seems to be at the same time as an email arrives...
