Got it and love it, but a little hard. Sketch defense was the only good tower defense until now.

It actually even plays a lot like Sketch Defense. Obviously geo has cooler graphics, but I will probably wait until it is on sale. For now, sketch defense for only $.99 is keeping me perfectly entertained.
Thanks for the good feedback on Sketch Defense guys! Just an FYI that a new update is in the works with a new particle engine that I'm writing from scratch. This means bigger explosions, less slowdown with multiple kills and tons more mayhem.
Also... a new tower!
I dont know why they make gameplay so difficult.. as if they dont want you to win at all.. some game developers have mentioned that their 'end levels' are 'unbeatable' .. well if its obviously unbeatable than why put it there.. I just finish all levels which are humanely beatable and just uninstall the game instead of trying to beat that unfinished level and getting sad about it..
I always have problem placing the shooters correctly :/
I think there is a bug.
When you lose a level, you can exit out to your homescreen. Go back to it, and the game will continue where you left off, but with 0 lives left, the game just continues until the creeps run out.
I am not 100% on this, as I stumbled across it by mistake and only passed one early level that one (without even knowing what was happening). Great game and I want to pass the levels, but without taking advantage of bugs.
Just played with the trial for a few days... ADDICTED.
One of the funnest games on here so far. I actually purchased the full version. My first smartphone game buy
Such a great game. From the epic 40 rounders to the hard simple ones, great great stuff!!

Nicki Minaj. Not really into her, but thats a great snag for this event.
Is there any other live streams, more official ones?
A 17 minute show is not what I expected... :\
well.. everyone is leaving.. no free phones for watching ?
For a launch party, it was a great start... but 15 minute show is not enough to wow the crowd. First crack at it I guess. Should have been more wiz-bang and more performers.

London got the best show IMO.
Wow I wonder how much this event cost.
created a nice buzz...lots of tweets, instagram photos (ironic I know), facebook uploads and its on MTV news and other sites.
This is the kind of thing that gets mindshare started. I liked it. A little short, but maybe better than too long.
i dislike nickis music but a lot of people like her, so i see this good on both parts seeing that she has a album coming out. Nicki just needs a 900 in her hand the whole time shes performing. lol. maybe the phone as her mic.
Hi, before I get anywhere else in this thread I must first say thank you. Thank you to all the developers and testers, all the time you spent trying to perfect such a tiny little device meant so much, especially towards the beginning when dealing with MotoBlur was a hassle on its own. You all are very great at what you do, especially in comparison to my own knowledge on android development, which is nothing. :laugh:
Secondly, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, I just set it somewhere where I knew it would have the best chance at being seen. I apologize in advance if I put it in the wrong subforum.
Anywho, the whole reason I made this thread is simple: I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and am no longer in need of my Bravo.
I know I could use it as a backup phone, but to be honest I have an old Samsung Epix that I like to use off and on. Back to Bravo point, I feel like getting rid of it.
It's in fair shape, with no cracks or dead pixels, but with 2 years worth of scratches when using it without a screen protector. It even has a new battery I put in last month. I know it's not perfect, but I imagine someone on here has one in way worse shape, or needs a spare for development purposes.
So, my offer is this: anyone who is interested in this phone needs only to send me a PM with a very brief explanation as to why they'd like it. I'm not some dean of a university requiring a 12 point essay as to why you deserve it more, I'd just like to know what you'd benefit from it.
In return, whoever ends up getting it, I ship it to you, minus the usb cable and SD card. For free. In other words past the PM sent, I would require nothing more.
Is it wrong of me to set this up here? I dunno. I've just seen people discussing their phones in the past as having major cracks and such, or needing to buy another one, and decided giving it away was better than letting it sit and gather dust.
But anyway, if you stuck it out and read the whole thing, and you're interested, thanks for reading.

He was open to PM's on it for a week. I was the only one who replied so I was supposed to get it. He said I'd get in in a week or two -- that was almost 3 months ago and he hasn't logged onto XDA since August 16th. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him, but I'd have liked an "I'm sorry I can't send it PM" versus waiting on it for a month and a half and nothing.
//With his name being Hippyman, he could have easily been pulled over with a bag of "oregano". A buddy of mine got 3 months in county, 2 years probation, and drivers license revoked for 2 years because a state trooper in Arizona found a single weed seed on the floorboard (felony charge).
/csb time -- well, sort of
A few years back, I got an overnight job a Wal-Mart so I picked up my buddy and we went out driving all night (I was getting my body adjusted to overnight hours before the job started). I was stone cold sober, but my buddy had taken 2 xanax bars, a percocet, and a fifth of vodka (I despise pills and will never take them). A (county) cop pulled me over for going 55 in a 35 (I sped up to 55 because I SAW the speed limit sign that said 55 -- I ended up pulling over 3 ft from that sign). While he was searching my car (probable cause because my eyes were red from exhaustion) he found some tobacco on my floorboard from a cigar that was stepped on and I hadn't bothered to clean up (It was my first car and trashed to hell by this time so crap on the floor didn't matter to me by then; got a Mazda Miata a few weeks later).
The cop tried to give me a dui ticket for tobacco on the floor and having red eyes -- but it pissed him off that I could easily pass the sobriety tests - easily passed because I was SOBER.
The cop ended up giving me a speeding ticket cause he couldn't prove I was high (which I wasn't) and made my friend drive us out of that county -- remember that list of crap he had taken above, well, combine that with the fact that my friend didn't have a drivers license. He was totally f***ed up and nowhere in the state of mind to drive a car. I steered the car until we hit the county line a few miles later. Ended up having to pay $250 because I accelerated 100ft too soon.
If you ever go to Arkansas, stay away from Arkadelphia cause the cops their are complete morons. Also, if you ever do get pulled over, have a bag of "oregano", and get searched -- hide it in your damn left hand. I've been searched 3 times now with between a half ounce and two ounces and they have yet to find any of it......I have no idea how they missed the 2 oz in my hand, but they did....

Luckily, I've never been caught, except by my Dad when I was 17 (not smoking, just came home REALLLLLLY high). He ended up taking my stash, then 3 days later after he went through it, he came to me to get him some since it was way better than what he was getting at the time. When I told him it was only 25 a q, he was pissed cause he was having to pay 50 a q for the same. I was loling since connections were better than his.
The closest to actually being caught were the 2 times I was pulled over with quantity that I palmed in my left hand, and this time at school -- I was accused of drinking on campus that day; it was bs, I was drunk the previous day. Anyways, I had 2 packs of smokes and 2 separate halves on me -- one was regular, one was killer -- and on the way up to the office to get searched for the bottle I didn't have, I walked two steps behind the dean and started tossing my stash on top of lockers we went down the hall. Got searched, they found nothing, left the office, recovered everything, and went on with my day as usual. FYI, the one and only day I ever drunk at school was a free day at the end of the third quarter and all my tests were done -- the only thing on the agenda that day was watching movies or sleeping in class -- me and my buddy opted to get drunk. We'd have skipped that day, but if either of us would have one more day we'd be denied credit for the quarter. You could only miss 4 days every 18 weeks....
So there's actual rom crap here.....I flashed Quarx's CM10 Custom Kernel rom for the Defy Plus earlier (unmodified). Runs smooth and great, but the capactive buttons are way off and need to be fixed for normal use, camera didn't work (I expected that), capactive buttons also stay at 100% brightness. I think with a little bit of tweaking it could run great on the Bravo.

Good news on the rom!! and great story for a lazy sunday!
Haha great story. They never took my stash because I said it was all gone but I still haven't smoked it because the drug test me. Anyways, so does the Defy kernel make it a lot smoother than before or does it seem smoother or what?

it's smoother and snappier for a host of reasons - the main one being optimization of the interactive governor with power hal. using any other governor with these builds may cause problems. q is working on 3.0 kernel now

+1 to that. JB with custom kernel runs about as smooth as CM7 ports from back before Quarx supported the Bravo. The only real issue is the capacitive buttons. So far all I've done is grazed over the keylayout files, but they seemed to be the same as CM7 Defy keylayout. Enabling the virtual keys helps, but I'd like to figure out a real fix.
For the fun of it, I attempted to boot CM7 with the custom kernel, didn't work.
Have a working Defy CM7 1104 port (yesterday), bare bones works just fine, but one of PmR's tweaks killed the wifi . Having issues rebuilding framework-res.apk for the animations and some ICS theme elements. Still want to add in PDroid. I'll upload the bare bones rom later today if its wanted.
//Stash was taken cause I fell over the ottoman and it came out of my pocket. Only ever been tested for work; I've passed all but one, they called me for an interview WHILE I was smoking. Did every trick I knew and failed it. If I knew I wasn't going to be watched (first test at that place) I'd have brought clean pee with me. Medicinal MMJ on the ballot tomorrow, hopefully it'll pass since all my smoking anymore is for medicinal reasons -- a single bowl during the day (keeps me from being mean -- being an ass is a family trait of mine) and a bowl or two at night before bed to help me sleep -- once I turned 13 I started to get sleep issues to the point to where I would stay awake for 2-3 days at a time (insomnia sucks). I could take some happy pills and sleeping pills, but pills suck (most pill overdoses are from the chemical that holds the pill together, not the chemical that gets you high or whatever -- read about it, pills are evil). I didn't even take my pain pills from my last 2 breaks (left hand bone below pinky and tailbone) since they didn't even help.
i came back to see how my old phone's forum was doing and how much i miss that close relationship with the devs...and somewhere in that journey...

Interactive gov works great, but it does have one bug -- its hard-coded with a max rate of 1Ghz. If you set vsel4 higher than 1Ghz it will bootloop. Switching to boosted allowed me to boot with 300\600\900\1200. Not sure if Quarx knows or not...not many of us OC over 1Ghz. Interactive needs either some tweak settings in the bootmenu or a script that will take the max vsel rate and apply that to interactive's max rate settings....but I just finished syncing with the repos so its time to start a Bravo build .
Huh that's weird. I've been running 1.1 ghz at vsel4 with all the 2nd boot builds.

That is weird, gonna set it to interactive real quick --- booted up and working just fine....I OC'd to 3\6\9\12 and bootlooped 3 times in a row, set to 3\6\9\10 and booted, set to 3/6/9/12 and bootlooped, changed to boosted and booted just fine, just now changed back to interactive and it boots....sigh.

Not to ruin your weekend but they only have to read you the rights if they plan on questioning you. If they don't, or if they don't use your statements against you then they don't need to read your rights. Hey an attorney though, .0178 is over double the limit in most states and carries jail time.

Ive did alot of contract work up on aberdeen proving ground. Ive got to say bro you were askig for it by lettin her get behind that wheel. Those MPs up there do not mess around at all. Only thing worst then a state trooper is a MP. They use to pull me over twice a week for random searches. Me and my girl go downtown baltimore to power plant alot and i always take light rail down then pay a cab ahead of time to get us around 1230.....1. id rather have both my phones all my tablets dropped in a toilet vs my gf getin a dwi. After lawyers, insurance and the MVA get done with you your probally looking at over 10 grand

well the police said its a federal court matter, not a state court matter which is better because federal court is less harsh. we had a ride, basically we turned on the battery to listen to the radio until our ride got there.

That's the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen...
On topic, the cops can't charge you with a DUI unless you're behind the wheel AND the key is in the ignition (regardless if the car is started or not).
Sorry about the crappy night and your phone. At least you have a replacement phone on the way.

And yeah I was typing it all on my phone that was just dropped into the toilet, i apologize for the punctuation and improper grammer lol
But anyways the worst part was probably her DUI, which I am looking up on the net to see what exactly constitutes as a DUI (Driving under the influence) the key word is driving, her door (the driver door) was still open and eveything, and we were smoking a cigarette, listening to the radio. I did read up on some controversy over the field sobriety test be admissible in court, plus you have to fail or do poorly on the fst for them to have probable cause to give you a breathilizer, which they made her take one, they didn't give her the option to refuse it, Or I woulda told her to refuse the breathalizer. So I def think I will get a lawyer cuz the few cases I read where the dui suspect got off and the charges were dropped, were very similar to what happened that night :/
thanks for all the info tho guys I appreciate it
One, they don't GIVE you an option to refuse the breathalyzer. You have to verbally refuse to submit on your own volition (same goes for allowing the cops to search your car. You have the right to refuse the search, but they don't TELL you such).
Two, I've already told you... It doesn't matter that the car door was open or that she wasn't "driving" the car. As long as the key is in the ignition (even if the car isn't started), you can and will be charged with a DUI.
Back in college, a fellow fraternity brother of mine was charged with a DUI. He'd gotten drunk at a bar and had gone to his car to sleep off the alcohol. It was very cold outside (early December), he turned on his car for heat and got in the backseat to sleep. The cops found him and charged him with DUI because of this.
It doesn't matter that he wasn't "driving" at the time. Operating or potentially operating (having the key in the ignition) of the vehicle are both under the umbrella of driving. Arguing semantics or technicalities won't help in your girlfriend's case, unfortunately.
There should be a mandatory spelling/grammar test to pass in order to have an XDA account.

I thought that only occurred in the circumstance that the subject failed the field sobriety test beforehand.

Cops discretion, they say you have to fail two of three fields tests but the cop is the judge on the side of the road.

Something seems off about that. Who's to say that cops won't pull over random people and issue DUI's to people who refuse the breathalyzer? Even if they hadn't been drinking at all?

Anyone seen anything good lately? I bring this up because Wife and I went and saw RED last night. (If you haven't heard of them, check them out. awesome band, if you get to see them live, go, Great show!) Just curious if anyone's seen anything good as of late.
Nope... the last concert I saw was Danzig 5 years ago in Salt Lake City.
The radio station forgot to do their daily giveaway called the 4:20 blaze, I was on my way home from work and 5 minutes later I called them up to say "what the heck, you forget to give away free shwag today?" And the broadcaster replied "Congratulations, you won!"
That was the first and only time winning anything from a radio station. The concert was pretty cool.

My last good show (plays, operas aside...yes my lady is into that artsy stuff) would have to be Fiona Apple. She is an amazing talent and destroyed the show she played in Miami Beach at the Fillmore.
Hoping to see Tame Impala this year. They're incredible.

I saw my favorite band Nightwish last month around this time, went to the Carolina Rebellion in May, and I'm going to see All That Remains and Dethklok next week. Rounding out the year with Sonata Arctica in December! A great year.
Went to Iron Maiden in August. Best show I've ever been to.

Hit the Thanks if you like the girls I post
My live music usually comes from festivals like burning man, lightning in a bottle, shambhala, Wakarusa, photosynthesis, symbiosis, beloved, etc (I'm a huge neo/tech-hippie).
That said, the last "shows" i was at within the past year or so were tool, deftones, meshuggah, Alice in chains, mastodon... Etc etc.
Primarily into the festival entheogenic electronic music scene these days though. So much love and fun.
