I'd like to ask you if android 1.5 is compatible with most of apps, as the majority of apps and games I've found don't say anything at the description about If the app/game is compatible with cupcake. For example, will I be able to run Fifa 2010 on android 1.5? (device Lg gw620) Thanks! (and sorry for my silly questions )

I know several of you wrote your apps and games before 1.6 was out or before you had a trusty N1 or Droid to test on. This led to many apps that rely on compatibility mode, that is, a width (when portrait) that is always 320 to make things work out. For 3D games, this made our games continue to work because when the games are run full resolution, our 1.5-compliant textures get scaled up automatically and become non power-of-two, causing white or black wherever a texture should be drawn (and then users complain that our games are nothing but white!)Well I wasn't very worried about it and I still have a few games in compatibility mode but recently a user contacted me, telling me that one of my games (Light Racer 3D) and a few other 3D games were all white on his Droid. I asked him if he had ever run any kind of tweak utility and he said that when he first got his phone, he installed an app called "Spare Parts" and played with some settings on it. Apparently one of the settings disabled compatibility mode and runs everything full-res, breaking many of our apps and games. Of course users don't know that's what they are doing. They think they are somehow unlocking their phone's potential that their evil carriers didn't give them access to. If only they understood!First of all, if you're the author of "Spare Parts", that's a bad idea. Please don't give users that option. Nothing good can come of it.Second, since there will probably always be some kind of tweak app out there that allows for disabling compatibility mode, it's in your best interest as a developer to update your old apps and make them work at every resolution. Counting on compatibility mode in the long term is a bad idea I think.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYou ever notice that their aren't any I don't want to say good but I guess big games on the android market. Like there are HUGE games on the iphone like my friend has Sims on his iphone now if you ever played that game you know its a big game. Also why do so many companies make apps for iphone only like there is a call of duty nazi zombie game on the iphone. Or like game fly has made an app only for iphone as much as I love android this just bothers the crap out of me!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had my hero for several weeks now, and i've barely used the trackball at all; once or twice for fine tuning the cursor position (functionality that could easily be replicated by a couple of cursor softkeys) and when using the camera (which is only because they *make* you use the trackball).
I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see android phones released in the near future without the trackball.
I wouldn't mind, but i searched the app store and i couldn't find a marble madness clone anywhere! Does anyone use the thing on a regular basis or find it indispensable in any other way? Any good apps or games that make use of it?
While I'm at it - i dont think i've EVER pressed the call button (furthest one on the left), always use the touchscreen instead.
