Ok looking for a bit of Android testing.

[toxibunny]

I'm thinking I should drop out and delete everything - although my phone is underpowered and isn't the target audience, I've tried it, and given a reasonable amount of information. Also, there are others that have the exact same phone as me...

Righto, Only just spotted this thread. I've got an HTC Desire running 2.something, I think. An oldish but popular device. Let me know if you need my services. Usual rates apply

I'll have a bit of "resorting" ( i.e. re-checking all the other people that asked me and that are not in the list yet ) during this week, I am aiming for the end of this week to have 'another version' to test with possibly all the remaining bits of UI completed and some little modifications.

After than that, hopefully, the remaining part will be to add the in-app purchase to turn it from 'trial' to 'full' and that would be it.

So this week is me deep into that thing, I'll keep you posted.

Can't wait to have this thing off my shoulder and begin to distribute it around for real.

one thing I did notice - there was some text that came up, 'Dark Side Of The....' but it didn't fit on the screen so I don't know what it was the dark side of...

Ok I slipped off this deadline about a day

In the sense I arrived today literally 5 mins ago at the point I was hoping to be this morning.

Sorry took me a couple of extra days more to learn better how some things were working.

Still I'd love someone would explain me why if an SLQueue is enqueuing stuff while a Dialog is open in the main UI thread that ends up in freezing everything.

No big deal, audio won't be playing in that case and I simply stop and restart it .. still .. I wonder what the heck is going on with that SLAudio ..

Anyway I am finally begin to see the end of the tunnel.

- from his other posts, it looks like on Android, people don't buy - they pirate

[gravy]

To be fair everyone knows that.

The market skews more towards IAP and advertising revenue as both can be affected positively by piracy

It's well known, from what I heard in Italy probably 90% of people never actually bought any Android game/appl certain
"friends" that are into that thing tell me that "it's impossible you NOT find pirated/for free what you want on Android and it's
even pretty easy to find it".

Yet some people claim "overall" you can still make some profit on Andorid.

Don't know if you still require anyone to test. If so, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. If not, I'll wait until I can buy it, which will no doubt please my Other Half as I will stop pestering her for her iphone!

[gilesgoat]

Yes, aiming for this fri for a new drop, I'll sort then the various test offers

I can't say I've ever pirated anything for android, but (cynically) I'm probably in the minority.

I want to compensate developers for their work, although at a few bucks a program it doesn't feel like I'm doing much there.

I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy II Tab. Willing to help out if help is needed, I mean all the fantastic work you guys do to bring me the best portable games I've ever had the chance to play. Only games I purchased on the Android so far are the few Kairosoft games that never made there way to the App Store; World Cruise Story, The Pyra-Plex, The Sushi Spinnery, and Kairobotica.

Really never intend to use it for gaming as I have an iPad Mini that should be arriving shortly and currently all gaming is done on my 4th Gen iPod Touch.

You're right that it doesn't feel like much when it's literally pocket change, or less than a cup of half-decent coffee.

And this is what I just don't get with some people re: piracy, when the pricing setup for legit software on some platforms these days is so ludicrously cheap, like literally a couple of bucks at most: what kind of scumbag would a person have to be to still rip it off?!?

[gilesgoat]

It's going really good, I still have a few little bugs there and there I am working on right now but I am quite
pleased about all this stuff came out.

Must be said, last week I underestimated the amount of work, there could have been NO WAY I could have
finished what I tought I could have finished in 1 day.

But "it looks really nice, it feel rally nice"

Tomorrow I'll try to sort out "all the list of people" and such I'll be very curious to know/see "if I done things right" and it still works and looks nice on different Android things.

Besides "two for the price of one" all this stuff I've done now could well be used on iOS as well.

I quite like it now, finally I am seeing the results of *MUCH* hair ripping, MA DIO (*(*( and head on the desk

Good for you mate, it's days like this we all work for.
