Can someone please post/upload the application Movies 2.8? It's by Flixster. I cant seem to download it on the android market or on the web! Cheers! |

For anyone interested in taking photos with their X10 (who doesn't?!), I thoroughly recommend both FxCam and Camera Illusion; both of which are free. I'm having so much fun with all the effects

+1 For saying thanks to lcrkz0023.
That's a pretty cool trick, and one which I didn't know anything about. Not a perfect Speed Dial but much nearer.
@RickyD yes it is getting easier, and the bounce shot idea makes a lot of sense.
Might try those cam apps too shanespencer, so thank you.
Anyone tried the Emulators yet?

@Nanu... so they say. but there's no official word. we just know sometimes in 2H. We also don't know if it's to android 2.1 ... just that there will be an update.
It's official from  2.1 will be here for Q4 September onwards...

your welcome Trickois, and phantasm4489,....
Hey Phantasm4489, thanks for the helixlaucher info, Imma definitely give this a try. Hey which version should I download. I see about five different ones over on XDA but which you think is best for the x10 or does it matter. It seems from what I was reading it most of the updated versions are for OS 2.0 and higher. |

Wow DragonEye, I just googled aptoide and it looks pretty sweet. Be good to have one source for all of the Apps other than just Market. Are you a dev there, or what is your experience of it?
OK I realised that perhaps you guys were keeping quiet re: Emulation because of the strict rules this site rightly enforces re: Piracy and the grey legal standing of some emulation....
However I couldn't resist installing Gensoid Lite myself and am pleased to report that Sensible Soccer International edition is top draw. Looks and sounds just like a miniature version of the real thing, see screenshot, which is a cool feature of the Gensoid app..
As long as this post stays in tact and unmoderated, I'll happily post some links later. Android and X10 Awesome..

Yes, the one thats labelled specifically for Donut. The others all require newer versions of android.

Also still no luck in getting notifications of comments via the official fb app. Ive enabled the notifications in my account settings but still i dont see anything when anyone comments on a wall post ive liked or previously commented on. Are you 100% sure that this is possible?

@phantasm, Thanks for link. I did see that one but i wasnt sure. About FB yea, it works only reason I knew how to do it, was I was having the same problem with my nexus so I went in and changed notifcations...and did the same thing with my X10. It works fine, however on both devices ive noticed its slightly delayed if you have your GMail account sent up to FB. Cuz I would get the email notifcation before the FB one. I guess cuz the sync is instant with the Gmail. But yeah it works. Maybe different branding of x10's but it shouldnt be, cuz its based on the OS. Thats strange im baffled. Try this, go in uncheck it all, then save. go out come back in recheck and re-save. Now that I remeber I had to do that with my nexus. Hope that helps. |

ok i'll keep at it. I can now see the notifications showing up in the fb app in the notifications area - but not receiving anything in the notifications bar where you get your sms's. I also notice that the refresh interval in the fb app is at best every 30 minute and the refresh interval for the fb account set up in the online service accounts is 15 minutes at best. does this mean you only get notifications every 15 minutes? or do these settings not apply in this case? |

im not 100% certain, but I dont think the settings apply. 30 mins at best is the lowest. (unless you have gmail/sms notifications set up and then of course you can set that interval to "as they come in") Sorry you having problems with it, it can be flaky at times, if I come across anything else Ive may have forgotten or missed, I will post. |

Hi All I've just downloaded the free Wiimote controlller app from the Market, just need to borrow a Wiimote to test it with..
Isn't the PS3 controller BT too, I know the DVD remote is? Might be an even better port, but perhaps it's a tougher one to do.
