What is sideloading?

What is sideloading? It's a term you see a lot thrown around while talking about Android applications, and it's simple to explain. It means installing applications without using the official Android Market. What's less simple is how it's done and why you would do it. That's where this post comes in. Let's explain it, shall we?

How to do it is easy enough, so let's start there. In the Application settings on your Android phone, you'll find a check box to "Allow installation of non-Market applications." When it's checked, you can sideload. You'll also see a pop-up warning when you check this box letting you know that your phone is now more vulnerable to attacks from applications, and that you accept all the responsibility that comes with doing this. It makes sense -- you can't hold Google responsible for applications you didn't download through their service using their security methods.

Sideloading apps is easy to do as well. You download them to your phone, then use a file manager application to find them and "click" their entry. You'll invoke the app installer program, and it will install your app just as if it had came from the trusted Android Market. It won't be associated with your Android Market account, but it shows in your app drawer just like all the rest. It didn't used to be this easy for everyone. Under the guise of security, AT&T used to block users from sideloading by removing the Unknown sources field in the device settings. Whenever you tried to manually install an app, it would be blocked because it wasn't allowed. This could be circumvented by using adb from the SDK or by using a program like the Sideload Wonder Machine. Luckily, those days are past us and AT&T has re-evaluated their position, and now allows the installation of non-Market apps.

Why would you want to sideload. There are several reasons, one being that Google has allowed carriers to block certain applications based on the model and network your device is running on. We've seen carriers block apps that permit tethering without paying the extra associated fees, and some carriers have exclusives for certain apps and they aren't available for the others. That's a whole other mess that we'll tackle in another post -- just know that it happens. There are other reasons to need to sideload apps, too. Want to use a different appstore like the one from Amazon? You'll need to enable sideloading. The same goes for beta testing apps for developers, or even coding your own apps and testing them on your phone. There are a lot of legitimate reasons for sideloading. Of course, there's always the piracy aspect. If you want to steal from hard working developers you'll need to enable sideloading. You also suck. Sideload, but don't steal from developers.

How I back up my stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus

I get this question a lot: If my Galaxy Nexus is unrooted and running the stock ROM, how do I back up it via a custom recovery?
It's pretty easy, actually, and it goes back to our method of manually applying a stock update. You're going to need a few things (and chances are you've got them already):

You need the Android SDK
You need fastboot saved into your Android SDK folder (I keep mine in /platform-tools
You need a custom recovery (I use ClockworkMod)
Your Galaxy Nexus needs an unlocked bootloader
You need to plug your phone into your computer

So here's what you do:

Download the custom recovery into the same folder as your fastboot file. (I like to rename mine just to keep things short.)
Reboot your phone into the bootloader, either by turning it off and holding vol-up/vol-down+power, or reboot from the command line (adb reboot bootloader).
Plug your phone into your computer if it's not already. (Type fastboot devices to make sure your computer sees it)
In the command line, type fastboot boot xxxxxxx.img (where xxxxxxx is the name of the custom recovery you saved).

And that's it. You'll have booted into the custom recovery, and from there you can do a full backup, or restore a backup, or wipe the phone. All without rewriting anything. If you need a little more hand-holding, there's some video after the break.

How to cut down a SIM card for the HTC One X (and any other phone)

This one's important for those of you looking to switch to the HTC One X (as well as a number of upcoming phones). You're going to need a micro-SIM, which as the name suggests is smaller than a larger (and more prevalent today) mini-SIM card. If you're rocking a GSM phone right this second, there's a good change you're using a mini-SIM. If you've got an iPhone 4/4S on AT&T, you've already got a micro-SIM.

So, a couple of ways to go about getting a micro-SIM. One is to just ask. Head to AT&T or T-Mobile or whomever your carrier happens to be, and tell 'em you need a micro-SIM. (If they don't know what one is, it might be time to consider switching carriers. :p )

The other way is to cut your own. Sounds scary. Sounds dangerous.

It is neither.

Cutting your own micro-SIM isn't like performing surgery. It's not even like performing dinner. It's more like using a stapler.

Step 1: Acquire SIM cutter. Easy enough. Took about 2 minutes on Amazon to find one (should be less than $10). Most also come with mini-SIM card adapters, which is good.
Step 2: Insert card. (Make sure you line it up the right way.)
Step 3: Apply pressure to the SIM cutter in a squeezing motion. You'll feel a "pop" as the cutter cuts the card. The newly cut card will fall to the desk or table (we don't recommend doing this outside or in the snow or on a boat or in the desert, for obvious reasons), free of its oversized shackles.
Step 4: Have a beer.

See? Pretty simple. Getting it into the SIM card tray of the HTC One X was simple enough. (The flimsy plastic adapters that came with our cutting tool were a little more tricky, but not insurmountable.)

How to unlock the Galaxy Nexus bootloader

The first step you need to take if you're going to use a custom ROM on a Nexus device is to unlock the bootloader. All bootloaders -- even on a Nexus phone -- come locked. The big difference is that a Nexus phone's bootloader can be easily unlocked with just a few commands.
Here's how to unlock the Galaxy Nexus bootloader. Note: This will erase everything on your Galaxy Nexus, so if you think it's something you'll ever want to do, we suggest doing it when you first get the phone.

You'll need to download and install the Android SDK.
If you're using Windows or Mac, you'll need the Fastboot tool. (Download for Windows, download for Mac.) If you're using Linux, you can make your own Fastboot tool. (And if you're using Linux, chances are you already know how to do all this anyway.) Stick it in your sdk tools or platform-tools folder.
Reboot the Galaxy Nexus into the bootloader/fastboot mode. The easiest way to do that is to turn the phone off. Now hold the volume-up and volume-down buttons, and then press the power button.
You'll now see a cool looking Android roboto with his front panel open. Check to see that the text below it starts with "FASTBOOT MODE" in red. Now plug the Galaxy Nexus into your computer with the micro USB cable. Let any drivers install.
Now open a command line. type fastboot oem unlock. This will start the process and give you the screen you see above. Choose yes using the volume button and then press the power button. Your bootloader is now unlocked.

So now what? Now you can install rooted system images. Or entire custom ROMs. And a custom recovery. All sorts of stuff. Welcome to the real world.

What is a QR code?

What is a QR code? These things are everywhere nowadays. Little square barcode-looking things. They're on website, they're on pictures, they're on advertisements -- they're everywhere. So what's a QR code and what do you do with it?

In a nutshell, a Quick Response Code is used to tell your phone to do something. Invented by Toyota in the mid-1990s, they "store" more information than traditional UPC barcodes and work better with languages more complicated than English. (Which is to say, most of them, especially in Asia.)

The way it works is this: Using a scanning app (there's Google's own Goggles app, or plenty of others in the Android Market), your phone's camera scans the code and then interprets it. There are different versions of QR codes, which can contain different amounts of information.

Most often, QR codes are used to link to a website or video or some other online content. Your scanning app should preview the link for you as a safety feature so that you can't be automatically redirected to a malicious (or otherwise untoward) website or video.

How to Upgrade Samsung Galaxy S2 to official Android 4.0.3 XXLPQ firmware manually

An official Ice Cream Sandwich update from Samsung has finally landed for Galaxy S2 users in the Poland through Samsung KIES. Some features appear to be missing from earlier leaks, such as no 3D animation effect in drawer and while swiping home screens.
Apart from that, firmware XXLPQ brings some improvements as well, with no touch lags and packed with TouchWiz 4 UI. If for some reason Ice Cream Sandwich has not yet arrived on your device and you don’t want to miss out on the fun, we’ll be showing you how you, too, can enjoy XXLPQ, the official Ice Cream Sandwich release, on your Galaxy S2.
We’ll be installing this firmware through Odin3. If you’re an Android novice, you have no reason to fear. The upgrade process is easy as long as you follow our guide below.
This update is only for the Galaxy S2, with the model number GT-I9100, and is not compatible with other devices. You may check your device’s model number through “Settings > About Phone.” If your phone does not match the model number, we highly discourage attempting to install this firmware update as it may lead to bricking.

Caution

Though this leaked firmware is originally intended for Poland, some users of the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 have reported that this firmware work on Polish, Hungarian, Swedish, German, Pakistani, Korean, and European handsets, too.
But, still, you are advised to proceed with the update at your own risk. Any damage you cause to your phone or to yourself will be your sole responsibility.

Requirements

Take note of the following and comply with the requirements before updating:

Flashing this firmware update will wipe your data. Make sure to create a backup of any important data on your Galaxy S2.
Make sure to charge your Galaxy S2′s battery (at least 70%, full charge recommended). This prevents your Galaxy S2 from shutting off in the middle of the update process.
If you’ve got Samsung KIES installed on your computer, uninstall it as it may interrupt the update process.
A Windows PC
Download Odin3 v1.83 to your computer.
Make sure that you’ve got the device drivers for your phone installed on your Windows computer. 32 bit (x86) Windows | 63 bit (x64) Windows.
XXLPQ firmware — Download from here or here.

Update Instructions

These are the steps for applying the firmware update manually:

Download the XXLPQ firmware to your computer.
Extract the “I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5″ file using 7-Zip or WinRAR.
Turn off your Galaxy S2. Wait for the phone to vibrate, signalling that it is completely powered down.
Reboot your phone into Download Mode. You can do this by pressing and holding down the Volume Down, Home, and Power buttons until you get the Warning! message on the screen. Press the Volume Up button to enter download mode.
On your computer, run Odin3.
Connect your Galaxy S2 to your computer via USB cable. The message box in Odin3 will say “Added!” if the program successfully detected your phone.
In Odin3, click the PDA tab, navigate to where you extracted the contents of the XXLPQ firmware and select the “I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5″ file.
Check both the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes in the Option section. Leave everything else as is.
Hit START to begin installing the XXLPQ firmware.
Once the installation has completed, you should see the upper-left square in the Odin window light up in green with a “PASS!” message.
If Odin gets stuck in the middle of the installation process, you’ll need to do the following:
1. Disconnect the Galaxy S2 from the computer.
2. Close Odin.
3. Remove the Galaxy S2′s battery.
4. Re-insert it.
5. Boot phone back into Download mode.
6. Resume the procedure from step 6.
Your phone should now reboot.
After the firmware has installed and the phone reboots, some users have reported getting stuck at the S logo. If this happens, do the following:
1. Boot to recovery mode. Power off the phone. Wait for a few seconds and then press the Home, Volume Up, and Power buttons together.
2. Select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset.”
3. Select “Wipe Cache.”
4. Select “Reboot System Now.”

Congratulations! Your Samsung Galaxy S2 is now running on Ice Cream Sandwich with XXLPQ firmware.

How to Update Your Motorola DROID Manually

The following guide is available for most of the Android devices on the market, but it was tested on Motorola DROID. In case you are eager to update your Motorola DROID to the latest Android version and don't want to wait for the OTA update to be pushed on the device, you can do it manually. Here is a step by step guide that will teach you how to do it, if you don't know it yet.

The first thing you need to do is download the update file on your PC and rename it to 'update.zip'. Then simply connect your DROID to the PC via USB cable and Mount the SD memory card, by going to Notifications bar and selecting 'USB Connected' option. Copy the 'update.zip' file into the root directory of your memory card and then unmount the device from the PC.

Next thing you need to do is powering off the smartphone and hold down the 'X' key on the physical keyboard and while doing so press the power button. Keep both buttons pressed until you see a triangle shape with an exclamation mark displaying on your phone's screen. Then hold the Volume Up button and click on the camera button until you will get a menu. Use the phone's D-pad to select the option to update your firmware with the file you copied on the memory card.

Be patient and wait till the process is finished, as this could take a while. Once over just click the Reboot option and wait for the phone to flash. You will most likely notice that it will take longer this time for the phone to reboot, compared to a normal reboot, but this is how it is supposed to be.

After the phone reboots you can go and check your new firmware's version by going to Settings, scroll to the bottom of the list and click About phone option.

How to Get Android Market on Your Smartphone

It may happen that you just got a new Android device and noticed later that the Android Market application is missing. If you got the phone brand new and with warranty from a carrier or specialized store, the first thing I suggest you do is go back and change it. Still, if you're lazy or you got yourself a used Android smartphone there are only a few things you could try to make the Android Market available on your phone.

Since it's now legal, the first thing you could do is root your device and install a custom ROM that usually provides applications separately. While I'm not against this method, I strongly suggest you avoid this if your phone is still under warranty and you're not an Android expert.

There are thousands of guides on the Internet that can teach you how to do it step by step, but all are starting with the usual “I'm not responsible for any damage ...”. So, while this method is 100% sure that will get you back your Android Market application, there's a chance that you might mess up one of the things described in the guide and brick your phone.

Another safer method to try to recover the Android Market is to simply make a factory reset. You will lose everything you have on the device, but even if your device isn't new I would still recommend a reset to erase any data that has been stored on your used device. You can make a factory reset by going to 'Menu', 'Settings', 'Privacy', and clicking on the “Factory Data Reset” option.

After the process is finished check your device for the Android Market and hopefully you will find it. The method works in about 50% of the cases, but if you still don't have it try the method below.

The reason you don't have Android Market might be because you have an old Android version, which missed the application for unknown reasons. So, you should try make a software update and hope for the best. To do that just go to 'Menu', 'Settings', 'About Phone', 'Software', and click on the option to check for new software updates.

If your version seems to be the newest, you can try check it manually on the Internet and found out if is there any update available. In case you find an update that you can only install manually, check out my guide on how to update your Android device manually.

How To Unlocking The T-Mobile myTouch 3G Android Phone

In today’s world, there is an increasing abundance of mobile phones available on the market.
It is also increasingly becoming popular practice to alter these phones in one way or another. For one, it is a popular practice to hack or root a mobile phone in order to change aspects of the phone that was not intended to be changed. This includes but is not limited to changing the font displayed, icons and

We've had quite a few folks ask about a way to post their Instagram pictures to Google+, and an equal number of methods to do so hit our inbox recently. Because Google+ doesn't yet have a public API (tools programmers need to be able to write apps to do this sort of thing), most of the methods are pretty convoluted -- including this one. But if you can install a few free programs to your desktop computer, this is entirely possible. It's a messy workaround, but once setup it works really well. This method won't automatically post the Instagram pictures to your G+ stream, but it does place them in a public album in your photos.
Hit the break for the instructions.

Game gets really challenging really quickly. .NEEDS BETTER TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS. Sometimes our touches didn't register -this goes for both phone and tab. and It will be good if the tunnels have some sort of indication which leads to which instead of forcing the players to do some trial and error. Maybe a flashing light at the exits of the tunnels can indicate a train is exiting. Also, a zoom in/out function would be nice. Update: some levels are just too difficult with almost no room for error. Makes me wonder what is the difference between a 1,2 or 3 star rating for each level.

This game is absolutely awesome. The runs so smooth and the graphics are great, above all once you buy the game, that is it. Controls take some getting used to especially if you been playing RF2012. But is much more challenging than the other football games on the market. Great fun and nice to see proper team names and kits. one big bonus no waiting for or buying stamina to play. It's like the best of RF2012 and PES2012 all in one game. Thanks EA great effort. HTC Desire S. Only 4 stars as D-pad needs work maybe increase the size of it?

By far the best racing game for android thus far! It is like a combination of Flat Out, Forza, and Reckless Racing 1! Amazing game, I had the licensing issue but found out that you just have to wait for Google to verify the purchase of the game. I just waited about 20 minutes and it worked fine when booted up. I had the first game on my iPod and it was fantastic, and this one adds a lot of customisation options that really make the game shine. Download this and you won't be disappointed. Runs and looks amazing on my Asus Transformer Prime, even on economy mode.

Works very well on my Phone, I really like the game,Why are there no daily challenges like the iphone?? I have the htc inspire, works great just wish it had the same features as iphone ugh. and when I paid $1.99 to buy more items to throw, after two weeks, I still haven't been credited! I have not been able to find a way to contact them either!!! Update: finally bought papayas to buy items, and I have 400 left. After the last update, lo and behold, you now need COINS to buy crap to throw! Update 2: I paid for no ads and have the cup to prove it. Now, with the latest update, I have flipping ads again! No more money from me until fixed.

The original game ate up a lot of my time when I first bought it, and playing through the first few stages brought back memories of that time. It's tougher, yes, and it's definitely not for the faint-hearted (the game assumes a certain level of familiarity with the gadgets used in the first game), but it allows new players to get up to speed in no time with the familiar hint system. I just wish that there were some higher-res graphics for tablets, but even without that, this game just rocks!

Good, but not perfect. I enjoyed the challenge, but it seemed that every time the computer disappeared or blew up, it would magically pop in front of me. And the steering needs work, it feels like no matter where you are, you're driving on ice. Alot of comments in the market you see from bad reviewers are because they have a cheap device. My phone renders this game well at 60fps overclocked at 1.83 ghz, with everything running smooth. So if your experiencing crashing its your phone, not the game. Overall tho this game is bland with unpolished & glitchy controls. May be fun for some, Overall, a nice game

This game is great crazy paced fun! It took me but a minute to get the game mechanics and then the fun was full throttle! Tilt screen from side to side to jostle things around and connect same colors, using the clear ones to fill between colors... I'm going to stop writing and return to playing... So much fun! I LOVE IT! I think the whole thing is just awesome, like movable jewels. Idk why the bad ratings in the marlet, most people who experience problems with the newer games is because of there phones.. upgrade please, stop hating.

Downloaded about 3 weeks ago and finally tried it, works great! Took me a minute to figure out where the file got stored. Created my own separate folder on the external SD card to keep track of my downloads to do a back up. Program will not work on its own unless you downloading something and using it by default. Works as promised. Those with small data plans, use WiFi connections when downloading large files or get download happy. if you use it to download music it won't be in your library, it will be stored in separate folder, needs a option to move it to music library

Just as addicting as the other Angry Birds. Plays smoothly on Droid Charge, unless I have dying battery, then it skips. Don't feel this is design flaw, just takes a lot of juice to run correctly. I have this game on both my thunderbolt and my pc. I've found some levels to be easier to play without ads on the pc, and these levels pop up ads on my phone. I'd be willing to spare up to 4 extra bucks for an ad removing upgrade, if that's possible. Otherwise it works fine love the new sounds and music. amazing game. Love it, can't put it down! Samsung galaxy.

I jumped at the chance to have this game on android, it was great fun on the gamecube. The frame rate is great on my phone (Acer Liquid E), and controls well. Comes with 125 levels, looking forward to playing them all. If you have troubles with the installer, be patient, it eventually works. My phone got stuck on the "installation" part, so I turned off and on the phone, and the app had installed correctly. Then I started the app, and it started downloading the extra files, but complained it was out of roo

I never thought a game with only one "button" could be this much fun! Since I downloaded this last month I've been playing pretty much every day, there's something about the music and the trippy visuals that make it impossible to put down. Haven't been this addicted to a phone game since Angry Birds. Beautiful trippy graphics, challenging (but not impossible) gameplay. Runs perfectly on Droid Razr Maxx. My only suggestion would be to add some more songs... the main theme song is good but gets really old after the zillionth time.

Have had this game awhile and great on those two phones. Now great on Samsung galaxy nexus ics 4.0.2. It is a fun game especially because its beat Jk LOL! It Is a fun game pretty cool so step right up . Give it a chance right???? But no incentive to keep playing. No stat building, same 2 opponents, same scene, no rebuttal or rule variance, no ability to increase or decrease power of shot. Good skins though. Wish lots would play the whole game and not skip out. Still uninstalling though.

to be an option, at least to view them or even better to save them. Nothing sucks more than doing an amazing shot but can't share it with other people you are competing against. Other than that, game is actually really fun. Controls aren't as bad as people say, you put your finger on screen and as you slide down you adjust the angle upwards. Feels natural to me for these type of games, but I suppose some will disagree. Either way, its not hard to get used to and the game is definitely worth a buck.

I haven't played this long yet but I found it very cute and entertaining. Very pleased with everything so far. challenging little game. But pollushot is better! Please make a sequel :) i love it :) everyone download pollushot it's amazing. And yoyo, your games are worth alot more than you charge, i really appreciate any publisher that stays away from digital item purchases, because it's disgusting! This froad is an excellent game, but I'd say better suited to younger folks than myself. Gets 5 stars anyway.

The first time around on PC. The second one on PS3. Now on my phone too. In terms of gameplay, on par with its PCs and consoles' counterparts. And playing this on Galaxy Note is such divine pleasure -- for its big screen and all. Graphics are sharp. Sound is pretty good. Atmosphere is immersive. Controls need some getting used to but definitely not quantum physics. Thirty minutes and no problem in hacking limbs and slashing those bloody necromorphs out of my way. To top it all, this one is scary too! Great job EA. My hard earned dough well spent.

Auto correct needs work, and needs user defined library. The vibration option for the keyboard feels akward in my opinion. The quick phrases or siines as I think they are called, are great, but are executed in an disorganized fashion, it would be great to be able to sort them into groups (like car, and business, flirty, etc.) The layout itself looks great, but needs a shift option and needs a back to text keyboard option. Will keep around for a while and hope that some of these issues will be adressed.

Talking Pierre is a very energetic and lively parrot, who lives in Talking Tom's kitchen. He's still a teenager and he likes to cause as much noise and destruction as possible. ;-) PLEASE NOTE: When running the app for the first time you will be required to download additional 4-26 MB to get the best graphics quality for your device. When you talk to Pierre, he doesn't just repeat your words ... being a parrot, he remembers what you said previously and repeats it later at random. Thus he combines different parts of your sentences to create new funny ones.

This one of the better pool games out on the Android market that is also in the free description. What really turned me on to this pool game is that you can adjust the 'english' on the que ball. For people that are "pool virgins" the 'english' is where you hit the que ball with the stick. Wether you hit it on the top which will give it a top spin or the bottom and that will give it backward spin or from side to side is up to you. When the que ball is spinning it will move slightly different. and The computer cheats too much on hard level. It takes the competitiveness out of the game.

I bought the game just thinking, what the hell is just 1 dollar....this has got to be amongst the top 10 games in the market...I have played quite a few on the android market and this is the best heli game so far. multi player mode is extremely addictive. fun controls need some time to get used to. I thought it would be a slow glitchy game with subparagraph graphics. But I was def impressed.

Going in to it I was disappointed to see the similarities the game has to most social games. The most obvious being an energy bar that if u want u can pay to get more. But after leveling up a bit and seeing the amount of energy my character has and that there is a fast recharge rate....well I cant complain. Its a fun little game much in the same class as sim city without the tax system. Worth giving a try if u like stragety or simulation games and its a decient follow up to the old Oregon trail game.

This is seriously an AWESOME game! Got this game yesterday and I'm already at level9. I didn't actually think I'd like it because I'm not into these types of games, but it's so well designed! And very addicting! :P You seriously should get it now; this game's so good I guarantee it won't be free for long. Although the Only thing I'm not crazy about is how long it takes to refill energy and that everything requires it...and that you never know hoe much ur gonna get before it stops refilling and it is not easy to add real friends.. But I adore it!! . If you dont download this your crazy!

Didn't really get the point of this app at first and I don't have any real design experience, but this app seems to have real promise in the future. I'd like to be able to zoom through solids in 3D renderings, and move the image simultaneously on two axes(multi touch) the down side is you cannot Create new files only edit and share. and loading small file is great, but larger file takes more time way more. but once opened, it is a breeze. there is room for improvement for sure.

the graphics in this game are stunning! Navigating this world and solving the puzzles was very fun and soothing. Loads quickly and smoothly . Everything I would want in an adventure game, except it's too short. Loved Grisly Manor; loved this too. Reminds me a lot of the Myst games. The puzzles are varied, and difficult without being annoyingly so. A lot of walking around required, but when I found the map it made things a lot easier ;) Gorgeous graphics too. Well done developers - can't wait for the next one! :)

Baseball Superstars was a great franchise. Then they changed their business model. BS2012 has the same garbage setup as BS2. Instead of paying $5 for a whole game (like BS2009, 2010, and 2011), now the download is free and they nickel and dime you on in-app purchases (like BS2). What used to be a really fun series is ruined by this new model. If you don't start spending money on G Points and other in-app purchases your players can't keep up .Without spending any money my batter has gone from 1.013 OPS and 13 HR my first season to .804 and 9 HR to .679 and 3 HR over three seasons.

Gotta love anything with cats involved. And giving Tom's girlfriend the name ★Angela★ was totally inspired ;-) it's the Cutest thing that was ever on my phone !!! I like this app because when you take a picture it .it will-send it to who you love for valitimes day. and for who you love for guiddances. and its high quality graphics! Plus there's no unnecessary stuff so its's perfect and runs smoothly on the Galaxy Note! My kids have had a blast with this app and my friends have enjoyed their cards!

Take your social gaming to a completely new level with Pirates of the Caribbean! Master of the Seas is the first mobile game to combine deep story and brilliant graphics with compelling social gameplay. Become a pirate as you create your ship, build your crew, and embark on quests wrapped around the lore from the Pirates of the Caribbean universe.

This game is simply amazing on my galaxy s2. It's a fun game. Easy to use, easy to pick up and play, with a great premise. The only things holding this back are the fact that the flick controls when you are the quarterback aren't always responsive (which can be frustrating), and (for me anyways) it seems like there might be a game play mode or two missing (there are essentially only two modes; there are two trick shots and are regular mode). Gripes aside, Developer should create an entire football game using this engine . this is a good buy.

I played the mac version of this game and was blown away! The graphics are crisp, the interface was beautifully designed, the voice works were top notch, and the game play was impressive. And the android version still has those greatness! Its a little though, instead of you placing towers around the path, you are the vehicles moving along thr path and you choose your path. Very cool and different offensive gameplay. Bought it on the first day without hesitation. worth every penny. Buy or download this game guys, you won't regret it! Great job devs! ;)

I used to play this on iOS, and it's good to see it on android. This game requires in equal measures: strategy, skill, precision and patience. While delivering in depth of experience, variety, challenge and most importantly fun and value! Some level types swap the patience requirement for frantic, decisive, tactical, survival of the fittest action. At least try the demo to see if you like the game. Give it a chance and your appreciation for the game will likely keep growing as you master the different types of levels. Only drawback is that it seems to suck battery life more than most games.

I've been having this game for a few days now and have played it on a couple of devices. This game is very well thought out. Once you get the hang of it, you realize there isn't much to it, but I always find myself itching to pick it up again. There is the occasional crash on boot, Some people complain about the tilt sensitivity it too high, but you can adjust it. You can also use touch controls instead of the tilt. The touch controls are a little more accurate, but slightly more cumbersome. all you have to do is push the pause button in-game and follow the prompts to exit.

This game was mildly entertaining for a few days until it became apparent that there is no balance. E.g. once you build the market, it becomes pointless to keep other resources. There are a billion popups to click through everytime you start it and they give free bonuscredits (crystals) to people who give the game a 5 star rating. So you can consider 90% of the 5star votes here bogus. Now it also keeps giving (purchase) notifications outside the game on my phone. It's time to uninstall this nightmare..

My wife and I both installed this game. I Have a Droid X2, she has a Samsung Stratosphere. We had been playing it and got past level one. We were having fun. We both really liked the game but then we did the update. Now it asks us to download the additional files again thru wifi but when we try to, it says "a problem occured" before it even starts to download. What the crap, Gameloft? This is the second game now, that won't let me download the files I need to play. The other one is Modern Combat 3.

It's running great on my HTC Sensation 4G. Very nice how the on screen navigation is anywhere you put your finger on screen instead of some fixed navigation tool. It would be nice if it had an "exit" button on the main menu screen, but after hitting Home, Android automatically shuts it down gracefully and it does not continue running, so no excess resource drain once done playing. Which means this app was written well for the OS.
but that just my opinion you can watch this this video to have a bigger idea about the game.

I don't tend to be into drug themed gang related games. 30 years I've been a gamer and this is one of the first times I've been taken back by quality of a mobile game,as a package. Visuals,sound,gameplay and controls. Plays very well on HTC desire s. Worth the original price,at this price though its a steal. Action shooter fans will like this. Max Payne mixed with some GTA and la noire but designed to work with phone controls,not a console style game dumbed down and dumped to phone.

I have always enjoyed this card game but somethings don't work quite as well on the tablet. My own little pet peeves are that it says HD but definitely doesn't look HD on my Galaxy tab 10.1. Also when you set the rules, if you turn off force play and have it set to draw and play then there is no option to just draw and not play if you have a wild in your hand that you want to hang on to. There are a few other minor bugs about the rules that need to be tweaked. One big flaw, however, is that you can't save the state of local games. Other than that it's a great game

Not normally into this kind of game but for the price I thought I'd give it a go. After downloading some extra data for this game over wifi, I played the game for a a few seconds, and it is quite enjoyable. I then turned off wifi as well as my mobile network (turned airplane mode on), and was still able to play. I know others mentioned on here that they were not able to play while "offline", but I did not encounter these problems. Haven't played it enough to see those in app purchases people are talking about. Gameloft has done it again. Lovely effects and gameplay. Brilliant.
