Use MoboPlayer to play the videos instead of stock. Some stock players can only play standard size videos, and your screen resolutions is most likely not standard.

Love this app. It's a effective tool to help solving bugs / other people with settings. It's working on the dhd arhd 6.1, but with a little lag while recording in high quality at 30 fps.
Future requests:
- option to show the screentaps while recording with a marker color?
- option to show a toast text with which hard keys is pressed
- option to enable mic while recording.
- auto hide the app when pushing the button to start recording.
- small button to stop recording always on top.
- option to set output container / encoding (3gpp/mp4)
- option to set delay before recording
- multilanguage support (i could translate a Dutch version)

This is just what I needed. Good time for releasing an app like this with ShootMe being removed from the Market.

Would be awesome if you could put it into androidpit market so I can buy the pro version, too

[Q] G-sensor (Orientation) fix

screen orientation works perfectly, but just until I start playing racing games. I turn device left but car goes right, right - car goes left. Tried other games - problems.
I checked sensors using some sensor test soft and noticed that when I actually pitch the device up program shows that I roll it left. pitch down - rolls right. when I roll it left it shows that I pitch it up....
I have another same transformer which in comparison works well in all cases, so I put devices near each other and checked how x, y, z behaves. and both give same figures! So I'm confused...
my question is:
As I think sensors are OK, are there any software solutions or other ways to deal with that problem?

I've noticed on a few games that even though the screen is landscape, it treats the orientation like you are still in portrait mode! I think it might have to do with the fact that some apps were written for phones that don't have landscape mode... ould be wrong though - just a guess!
Other games work fine.. Do you have any apps that use the orientation correctly?

I used app "Sensor test and plot" to check orientation. It says something is wrong and I think it does not depend on app version...

Yeah, I think you are seeing the issue I was talking about (app assumes portrait for orientation, even though you are playing in landscape).
Let me find a free racing game and try it - can you give some examples of games that dont work properly for me to try?
EDIT: I just tried Riptide GP and Reckless Getaway and the orientation sensor works perfectly.... Can you try one of those games (both very good games)?

Try Wave Blazer lite. Maybe you are right. I'be just tried Raging Thunder and it worked ok for me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk

Yeah, Wave Blazer doesn't work for me either - it's definately a phone app (can tell by the resolution).
A real good racing app for tablets is Riptide GP - it works fine..... $6.99 though! Ouch...
Reckless Getaway is really cool too and the orientation sensor works fine with it too...

So basically you can't play phone apps that require G-Sensor on tablets? (Temple run etc.) I have somewhat the same problem. Doesn't that mean that there is some sort of setting in the phone that tells the phone to rotate g-sensor orientation when playing landscape, and only when the application is running in the foreground? Temple Run (portrait) running in the foreground on phones work even if Need for Speed (landscape) is running in the background. If there is a system setting controlling this, then couldn't we bring that setting over to tablets? I don't see how that couldn't be done.
Edit: I think some tablets don't have this problem.

[APP] My Boy! New Gameboy advance emulator

Hi all there is a new gameboy advance emulator My Boy!
It's not a ripoff but a new developer been testing it and it's quite nice I prefer it over gameboid.
FREE VERSION
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mYXN0ZW11bGF0b3IuZ2JhZnJlZSJd
PAYED VERSION
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmZhc3RlbXVsYXRvci5nYmEiXQ..
Features
My Boy! is a super fast emulator to run GameBoy Advance games on the broadest range of Android devices, from very low-end phones to modern tablets. It does more than just emulating the full system. Thanks to the save state system, you can save progress at any time and return back to it instantly. And while enabling fast-forward in game, you can quickly skip the long boring intros/dialogs in RPGs.
• Fastest emulation. Easily get to 60 FPS without frame skips on medium-end devices.
• Excellent game compatibility. Run 90%~95% of games without a problem.
• Fast and complete video emulation (alpha blending, fading, mosaic, etc)
• High-level BIOS emulation. No BIOS file needed.
• IPS ROM patching
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Fast-forward to skip long stories, as well as slow down games to get past a level you cannot in normal speed.
• Save games at any time with screenshot
• Configurable on-screen keypad (multi-touch requires Android 2.0 or later)
• External controllers support, through either the Android native way or input method.
• Well-designed user interface. Seamlessly integrated with the latest Android.
• Create and switch to different key mapping profiles.
• Create shortcuts to easily launch your favorite games from your desktop.
No games are included with this app and you need to obtain yours in a legal way. Place them onto your SD card, and browse to them from within the app.

Going to try this now. Here's hoping its good. I've been using Gameboid as it remains the best out there for now.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the PLAY. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Edit: Looks and feels suspiciously similar to Gameboid but with a couple of added options and tweaks. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was the same dev behind it, just under different name
I'd say its good enough to replace my Gameboid install. Also, changing the rendering back-end to Canvas disables the horrible linear effect used on most emulators.

As good as it is..$4.99 seems steep for an emulator..especially considering all you get are save states and up to16x fast forward...ill stick with gameboid for nownow

I agree. Its certainly not cheap by any means but it is at least cheaper than the other comparable alternatives (GBA.emu - $5.50, VGBA - $6.30). Its also good that they offer up a free alternative, albeit with less features. Its a tough sell up against the quality (and free) Gameboid app but I think if they continue with regular updates and as a result make it more compatible/better performance than Gameboid, then it becomes worth it.

I would buy it, but i dont have credit card.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

I use a 3V card for internet purchases. A disposable Visa basically. Only works online but there are other cards (Swirl card) that you can use in shops, ATM's etc

If this gets Wifi/Bluetooth multiplayer capabilities, then I could consider buying it, in the meantime, Gameboid is my election.

Probably won't be compatible with other out-of-game save states, since all devs implement them in their own way. It supports most in-game save formats.

Update v1.1.0 has been released. The dev seems to have took mine and other peoples suggestions regarding linear filtering. Cheats have now also been added.
Changelog:
* Added cheats support (GameShark/ActionReplay/CodeBreaker)
* Added option "linear filtering" for OpenGL (was forced in previous versions)
* Fixed game reset on certain devices when pressing the POWER button, or getting an incoming call.

I'm puzzled by a detail. MyBoy most definitely has code from Nesoid and similars. Same overlay, same controls. Since Nesoid is GPL-licensed, I think that the code should be released. Anyway, I use it because GameBoid doesn't support touch
controls fully, and it just works. Good job, just take care of compliance.

Do you have any proof of this? not berating you, just curious as to if there is any substance to your claim? Overlay could be explained in that the developer was influenced by an app rather than copied/took code from it.
Anyway, the developer claims to be the core developer of the app so unless this is proven otherwise, in which case you should contact him to challenge him on it, then he doesn't have to release any code.

Not only does the overlay look equal, the configuration options for the controller are almost identical, even their order. Either the dev took code from the open-sourced version, or the dev duplicated every single detail.

[Q] Changing Atrix 2 resolution

Does anyone know if there is an app to change the resolution that a paticular app is displayed in. for instance i have been playin a game called vector defence, the native resolution is 800 x 480, and when i launch it on the Atrix 2 all the GFX are messed up or not in the right position, is there a way to fix? I have seen phones like the LG nitro HD are able to fix this problem because there is a setting under the display tab which allows the phone to adjust for non native apps, so it would nice if anyone knows. I tried to search for an awnser but i think i am not using the right lingo.

Half-Life 2 (portal) playable on non-tegra devices [How to]

Hi all!
I find way to play Half-life 2 on non-tegra devices. I get it run on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon 800 version) using app GLTools. Just make sure you install on start GLTools second options (install texture decoders on first gltools install), then download game and set settings for HL2 in GLTools like these:
activate function Optimize GLSL shaders
Use fake gpu info
Template: tegra 4
Simple mapbuffer emulation
Software VBO emulation
Use packed stencil buffer
With these settings and connected moga controller i was able to run game and play it. Its playable but sometimes its get laggy on in bigger arenas. I also get crash bug on the end of first part - after the first elevator part the game hang on a loading screen. Its always crash but it has solution - just start HL2 again, start new game and chose second part, it will be already avaliable and you can continue in playing Enjoy!! For now i have something about 1hour of playing and still no problem. Only thing is sometimes weird textures, but this is done by emulating T4.
And now question on you all - i wonder if its possible to hack google play, that i can see and buy portal too?? I want to try it. I thing Portal will be playable too with these settings. :good:

I couldn't find the software VBO emulation and use packed stencil buffer options
EDIT: Just updated GLTools and got it to work!
Only problem is is when I lock my phone while playing I have to restart the phone cause it sort of freezes

Cant get it to work on the Samsung s3 mini, it just crashes at the source logo. I saw a similar thread to this on 4pda and portal worked with these settings.

UPDATE: Please check if you really selected the right plugin.
Now only the models Textures appears, all other Textures are black. Im lucky i know every single map from both games. So I can navigate with ease even with those. I will play around with settings and see what I can do.
Device tested: Nexus 4 PA 4.2 Beta, Snapdragon 600 - Good FPS, texture bugs.
Fixed everything, i have enabled the other options (sRGB emulation and stuff) and now it works.
Configs for N4
Same as above but enable:
Half-float texture Jack
FBO Attachment (i think thats its name)
sRGB emulation
