[Q] Problems with console emulators - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey all,
I've been running the "oid" emulators for years with no issue. Here I am with my awsome new Note 2, the baddest machine in the land, and I'm having issues when running those emulators which worked fine on my G Nexus, and even on my old droid X.
Snesoid comes up and starts working fine, but then (in Super Mario World, for example) all the colors will go wonky, like looking at photo negatives. Or the controls stop working. I've tried tweaking all the video settings, but nothing makes a difference.
Anybody have any ideas? Could it be related to the ROM I'm running?
Thanks,

Which rom are you running? Also, have to increased the DPI or rendering of the phone through said rom?
Give me a few minutes and I'll test Snesoid on mine.

I just download the snesoid apk and a Super Mario World rom. No problems at all. I am running Macks rom.

Thanks for checking. I too am running mack's rom (no mods). I am running on US Cellular though, but that shouldn't be making a difference. I saw elseware that clearing data may help, have done that but not tested yet (pesky work). It could be the game Rom, but as mentioned I've had it for years without issue on other phones, so I don't see how that could be a problem. Would you mind sharing where you source your game roms from?

I sent you a dropbox link privately

Must be karma... I re-flashed my rom before leaving the house and I still had the snesoid and that rom on my external card. I went to play them... and same problem as you I wonder what's causing that to happen?

Is working on my Note. I'm running an older version of Snesoid. Can't find the new version. If some wants to PM me the new version I'll be happy to test it

Yeah I stated testing with the game rom you sent me, seemed to be great, and then boom. While I am sorry that it is also happening to you, I am relieved it's not just me. Wonder if its Mack's ROM....

It's weird that it was working one play and then not the next. I just did the upgrade to his 4.0 last night, I'll try messing with it today.

It takes a few minutes of play before it happens. Did you run through an entire stage when you first tested it?
(edit) I installed one of the other emulators, and am not seeing the issue yet....looks like it might be snesoid itself, which makes me sad.

Any recommendation?

mines running fine, did you buy the game? i would suggest contacting rockstar
Im running CM7 Alpha 2. No problems with GTA3
You should wipe all and fresh install a rom. Then install GTA3 first. An app could prevent it from working properly. And test the game after every 2 or 3 app installs, then you can narrow it down.
Clear data... then reinstall the data files

Hang tight guys. Rockstar is working on a patch for our exact model right now. I have been in talks with them over several days while they tried to patch it. They released a patch today but did it for the international gs2. I forgot to tell them it was the T989.
They just told me a patch would come tomorrow for us and they're working right now to white list our exact model.

Deebo took your bike too?
Thank you all.
I will try these options.
Btw: The game won't run on the stock rom. I've tried. It does run on Mr. X's rom though.
Just wait and be patient.

I found the problem. This game did not work because I had the nvidia plugin activated on chainfire. Once the "none" option is selected the game will work perfectly.
Thank you guys anyway
Please use original thread to post about GTA. Thanks.

Talk With Video Chat

Hi
Has anyone been able to get google talk with video chat working?
This is for my girlfriends phone so we can video chat (i have a sensation). I have tried all the methods in this thread and also tried paul o brien's (modaco) gtalk 1.3 installer app from the market but they all result in force closes.
So im hoping someone has had success and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
EDIT: This should be in the apps and themes section. Can a mod please move this. My appologies
skype
i havn't tried gtalk but if video calling over the internet is just what you want then i suggest you use skype. Its working fine on this fone.

Yeah i have tried Vtok but it is not much good. It hasnt been updated for 9 months and it doesnt work very well. Skype is what we are using at the minute but it doesnt have the ease of use that gtalk has.
Im sure samsung will provide an update for this........ eventually
Hahahaha... Haha... Ha.
They won't =( They only care about not letting you root your phone and find new ways to make TouchWiz an even bigger RAM whore.
Why do you think Skype isn't intuitive? I prefer it over Google Talk actually..

I've tried gtalk 1.3 with audio/video chat. It doesn't work!! Webcam works, switch webcams works, the user hears my voice but I don't hear his voice. When I close chat I have to reboot the smartphone because audio doesn't work!!!

Its just my personal opinion really. i think skype running in the background all the time chomping battery and data when we already have google talk installed and i just think the google talk app is small and neat... Especially on ICS on my sensation
Hopefully a dev might look into this when they make roms for this phone.

Great Game
Probably one of the best FPS games in the store, definitely worth the 50 pence I paid for it. I prefer it to shadowgun as it feels slightly less linear. The controls aren't so bad once you get used to them and fiddle around with the customization options. And best of all it runs great on the SGS2 !!!
Hello
I got the .apk from a link above (thank you so much uploader) but while at this topic, I have SGSII with custom firmware, how do I get samsung apps??

RaverX3X's TW ICS

Just a Q & A thread for this ROM
Ask all questions here, keep them out of the Dev thread please
Just wanna say did a nandroid, superwipe, installed and waited 15 mins. No problems outside of the known (Orientation Switch ftw).
Its super smooth, battery life is similar to TDJs ROMs and i love chrome beta. Raver did a great job.
Misplaced Posts
Here are some posts I mistakenly put in Raver's AOSP ICS thread (sorry).
new ion? said:
how about you search 'camera' in the store and find one?
there is no harm in downloading free apps and deleting them if they don't have what you want.
i seriously doubt there will though, as the built in one is designed to do what people want
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You know what? I did that, and it's actually what led me to ask the question. I tried IgCamera and QuickSnap, but neither worked. I believe you're right about there likely not being one. Not only is the current camera normally functional, but the issue we're having with our "beta" ICS is certainly not anticipated by developers of this kind of app.
I am not omniscient, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in Q&A.

You are the man (or woman...)! That pretty much makes this ROM complete for me (at least until the final community releases)
I wonder if there's any chance of one of the first posts being modified to include a list of known bugs and workarounds/fixes?
Edit: Video still won't record, but I'll at least have the still camera. If no one else has, I'll see if I can get some logcats linked on the Dev thread.

As you all know, the gallery is a little screwed up. I found a nice replacement for free in the Google Play Store. It's called QuickPic.

This rom is pretty freaking great. can't really judge battery since I've only had it since about 6 this morning but super smooth and no big issues.
Thanks for camera zoom that works perfect. dont have the gallery problem so far. so you rock.
Video Recording Issues?
Is there a bug when video recording? I get a "recording failed" whenever i try to record?

I've have the issue, tried clearing all cache and fixing permission to no avail. I'm sure it's happening for the same reason the camera is having the issues. It's due to the kernel. I'm sure there us a 3rd party app we can get, so no biggie.
Thanks xraver for the ICS update.

What would be the best way to flash this rom? Should I use superwipe? How many times? I've heard some people have to flash several times. And I also saw somewhere that it wipes all the data on your internal and external storage. This can't be true.

From XPertise:
I wanted to share how I flashed which worked perfectly.
"Flashed:
[1] Made TB of all apps
[2] Rebooted in CWR
[3] Nandroid backup
[4] Wipe Data Factory reset
[5] Wipe Dalvik Cache
[6] Flashed samsung_ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_by_lippol9 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1166954
[7] Flashed DarkSide Super Wipe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1477955
[8] Flashed Rom
[9] Reboot Phone
[10] Let sit about 10 minutes after reboot was fully done
[11] Rebooted again so data started to work (takes second reboot)
[12] Once 2nd reboot was done I gave it another 5 mintues before I messed with it.
Hope that helps some. My install steps are very excessive but I have done those steps on all roms and never had any issues."
Great to see ics finally show up, thanks raverx3x! Anyone test data speeds?

where is the dsp Eq? is it not an app anymore?

ICS update a huge mistake?

So I finally went ahead and updated my s2 with the ICS update and I'm sort of 'bleh' about it. After I first updated I was having a huge wifi issue with the wifi disconnecting after a minute or so then connecting then disconnecting etc etc. Once I got that fixed I've figured out that I'm just not that excited with the stock ICS, anybody else have mixed feelings? Or did everybody root/flash it immediately? Lol

I did the reset and I have cleared up most of the issues, it's just the overall feel of ICS which is 'bleh' to me I guess. Maybe once I root it and put a nom nom twang on it I'll change my mind. I was just curious if people who went from a rooted/flashed s2 to the stock ICS were a little disappointed like I was.
From my s2 (stock ICS)
I definitely wasn't disappointed in what ICS offers.
For a truer Android ICS experience (imo) you need to take a shot at AOKP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654564
Eh I'm not too impressed with it either. Don't see much of a difference from gb except for the animations, the long press home for recent apps(which i never use). I didn't really want to update but since no one is working on gb roms or themes i decided to update
Sent from Flip's SGS2
For you guys feeling underwhelmed-- are you using the stock Samsung launcher? Because that will leave you feeling like ICS was a minor upgrade. Try Apex launcher, free in Google Play. It's going to give you an ICS experience. Good luck!
The ICS update is completely and totally worthless as long as it still has TouchWiz on it. AOSP/AOKP is the way to go if you want the real ICS experience.

Maybe they were talking of the TouchWiz infrastructure, not only the launcher. I have to disagree though, to each there own taste. For now Touchwiz ROMS got AOSP beat in reliability and everything generally works (aka, Darkside vs AOKP or CM9) Reason being, Touchwiz was made and developed for the SG2, buy highly paid programmers and organizations. AOSP is more grass roots, its a labor if luv, for the most part. Ill take more time, but at the end, AOSP will be the one to have!!
